Human Affairs

Chen Taiyi planned to go home. After being away from home for so long, the desire to go home became more and more intense.

I definitely won’t go to the Demon Palace. Life doesn’t need to be so perfect. There’s no need to try everything.

After deciding to go home tomorrow, Chen Taiyi felt relaxed.

"It's pretty good now. There are people helping me with everything. There are also a few children and subordinates who can take care of themselves. I should retire early."

Chen Taiyi touched his bare chin and sat alone on the roof with a mature and satisfied smile.

As for why I insist on sitting on the roof instead of just sitting on the ground, this is a matter of preference.

Isn’t it normal for people to like to stay at high places?

Of course, just sitting here would undermine his majestic image, but Chen Taiyi quickly stood up and looked into the distance to maintain a dignified image.

It's nice to enjoy the breeze on the roof when you're bored. No matter how tough your brother is, he can't stand the teasing of so many older sisters.

In fact, Chen Taiyi is blessed with the aura of human king, plus he is very strong, so he can handle it.

But the main problem is that he thinks that others are just acting, and that every time those big sisters say "Ah~ I can't do it anymore~" it's just acting.

As a result, I feel that most of the beauties around me have high limits, but I am not that strong, so I naturally feel that I can't beat those demonic women.

While the wind was blowing on the roof, Aoi Meiyin flew up from below.

As soon as Chen Tai felt the movement, he saw Kwai Meiyin flying easily from the ground to the roof like a slow special effect.

"Do you know martial arts?" Chen Taiyi felt that he was not familiar with the person next to him.

Kui Meiyin respectfully explained: "Reporting to your Majesty, in addition to playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and sage articles, my sisters have also learned some martial arts to keep in shape. Although they cannot fly with swords, they can easily dodge and move around."

"Oh." Chen Taiyi was not curious.

He couldn't tell that this woman knew martial arts because she was surrounded by powerful women. Kui Meiyin didn't have deep spiritual energy or the temperament of a martial arts master, so he couldn't tell that it was normal.

Kui Meiyin followed Chen Taiyi's gaze.

Chen Taiyi was bored, thinking about nothing and seeing nothing.

Even though I was looking at the front, I didn't actually look or think about it. I was just out of boredom, blowing in the wind, and dazed.

Of course Aoi Meiyin didn't see it that way. After looking over it, she quickly saw the bright spots.

"Your Majesty, that house is where Concubine Leng is imprisoned. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Chen Taiyi blinked and asked curiously: "Who is Concubine Leng?"

Kui Meiyin explained: "She is Leng Xueyan, the daughter of the former general. Leng is proud and beautiful, but because her father, General Leng, was seized by the clan general a few years ago, King Jing of the Kingdom of Jing, in order not to give General Leng a chance to restart, incidentally also

Consigned her to limbo."

Chen Taiyi said casually: "Oh, it's understandable. After all, if you still keep this woman by your side, some ministers will inevitably think that this is a hint that they should intercede for that person."

The struggle in the harem is also the struggle in the court. A woman whose family loses power in the court will fall into a situation where her salary is drained from the bottom of the cauldron in the struggle in the harem.

The support of your natal family, whether it is financial or personal support, is crucial.

Even if the women in the harem do not have any relatives, they must unite with the eunuchs or ministers of the court, otherwise they will have no power to fight and no one to use.

Many emperors could not choose which woman they liked. In order to win over their subordinates, necessary sacrifices had to be made, such as marrying the daughter or sister of a leading general.

If the other person's mother-in-law has made meritorious deeds outside, I must also favor the women from the other person's family in the harem, otherwise it will not be interesting enough.

The more Chen Taiyi thought about it, the more sad he became: Alas, being an emperor is so tiring...

Damn it! Fortunately, I don’t need to rely on my subordinates to conquer the world, otherwise I would be exhausted!

After much thought, Taiyi Chen found that her own grandmother was the best.

Of course, you don’t need to listen to everything Grandma says, it’s still too dangerous in the Demon Palace.

Chen Taiyi was distracted. Kui Meiyin didn't understand Chen Taiyi's thoughts and thought Chen Taiyi had an idea.

Kui Meiyin and Kui Meiyun are now Kui Wenji's followers. Kui Wenji spends most of her time dealing with government affairs and has no time to care about the harem.

So the Kui sisters naturally became Kui Wenji's subordinates and shared some of Kui Wenji's work.

The two are now both female officials and concubines.

Managing the maids in the palace is one of the things Kui Meiyin is responsible for. Kui Meiyin also knows very well about the beauties in the Jingzhou Palace.

"Your Majesty, let's go take a look. Since General Leng died, no one has visited Concubine Leng."

Kui Meiyin took the initiative to suggest that she has the same demeanor as a good wife and mother like Kui Wenji.

"Okay." Chen Taiyi had nothing else to do, so he went with Kui Meiyin to take a look.

Kui Meiyin quickly brought Chen Taiyi to the front of a house.

There are high walls of more than ten meters on the left and right here. It looks like the end of an alleyway, surrounded by shadows.

Kwai Meiyin is accompanied by four personal maids, all of whom are young and beautiful teenage girls. They are all ladies carefully selected from the relatives of the Kwai family.

In addition to the four maids, Kui Meiyin also has two strong servant women in their 40s and 50s. They are domestic servants whose husbands and sons work in the Kui family. They are strong and healthy.

The two strong women quickly walked to the door with hammers and broke open the large iron ring lock bolted with a rusty iron chain.

Chen Taiyi's eyes were very sharp. When he first stood at the door, he saw that the keyhole of the iron lock had been poured with molten iron, which made it clear that he had planned to lock it for life.

Under the red door, there is a dog door that usually delivers clothes and meals.

The Cold Palace is not a palace, it is just a courtyard to trap people in. Without the emperor's permission, they will not be able to go out and interact with outsiders for the rest of their lives. They will be trapped in the courtyard for the rest of their lives.

It's not bad to have a yard, but some people are like being locked up in a dark room, where they become insane.

In particular, most concubines have experienced that kind of luxurious life, where there is a gap between one and two times, and they are thinking day and night about getting out of sin again. They always hope and are always disappointed, and it is normal to have a mental disorder.

Most monarchs don't like killing women because they have a bad reputation.

So I locked him up until he died.

There is no doubt that Jing Zidan is also a person who cherishes his reputation. In addition, in the turbulent era, many beauties in the palace have long past their shelf life and become old women.

Among the women Chen Taiyi released, there were many such women.

Every dynasty has its own rules. The Yue State is very good in this regard. It does not adopt a lifelong system, but a contract system.

For example, the servants of each concubine are all their own, and some maids are also contract workers for three to five years. If the contract is not renewed at the end of the contract, they can go home and get married.

The integration of formal workers and temporary workers, plus contracted workers, is the new thought and new idea of ​​​​the feudal era.

We do not completely negate the feudal system, because now is the feudal era, and we cannot talk about ideas in isolation from the times.

Jing Zidan's harem in front of me is not as good as Chen Taiyi's harem. Both the system and the quality are completely different.

Even if there are a few bright people, they can't change the overall situation. This is ideological backwardness.

At this time, Chen Taiyi puffed up his chest proudly and was somewhat mentally prepared.

[Since this woman has been imprisoned here and has not been released, most of the people below think that I will like her.]

【She should be a pretty beauty, right?】

Bang~

As the smashed iron locks and chains fell to the ground, the old door was pushed open by two strong women, making a creaking noise.

When the heavy door was pushed open, a burst of cool air came out of the dilapidated and silent courtyard.

The others only felt a little cold, but Chen Taiyi saw ghostly energy.

"No need to look, she has been dead for a long time." Chen Taiyi sighed, "Let her be buried according to the standards of a palace beauty."

Kui Meiyin only found it absurd and unbelievable, "Your Majesty, he should still be here. He has been receiving meals and clothes, and paying bills these days..."

As she spoke, Aoi Meiyin became silent.

Chen Taiyi also felt very emotional. No matter how noble a woman was before, a woman who was relegated to the cold palace would never have her original glory again after being forgotten.

Not only is his status reduced and he is trapped here, but the people around him will continue to deprive him of his money, and even abuse him and humiliate him like a villain who succeeds.

This is not a good place to hang out and wait to die. Chen Taiyi could see the corpses in the room. The woman had committed suicide a long time ago.

This may be the choice of most young women in the cold palace, while some women with children gradually turn into crazy old women with little hope.

Of course, there is also a new choice before those beautiful women at this time, which is to be loyal to Chen Taiyi!

For Zhen Luoer and many palace beauties, becoming Chen Taiyi's woman is not a humiliation, and being favored by Chen Taiyi is not a humiliation, but the best and best choice.

Wanting to be subdued by Chen Taiyi, an intruder, is not a casual matter.

"Clean this place and count all the people in the old palace and disperse them."

Chen Taiyi didn't want to do anything, so he turned around and left.

There is no point in staying here anymore. The Vietnamese army has been stationed here, which is very bad for the development of the local area.

Chen Taiyi soon set off back to Jiangdong, this time boarding the luxurious Royal Airship No. 1.
