Chapter 62 The Eccentric Emperor Can't Live Without Her 33
Reading Settings
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Lu Lin, wife of Lu Minzhi, the Chief Physician of the Imperial Medical Academy, is of virtuous character and has made meritorious contributions to the education of her daughter. She is hereby granted the title of Fourth-Rank Lady and awarded three thousand taels of gold and silver, and ten bolts of hibiscus brocade. This is the imperial decree!"
Perhaps because she had been satisfied the night before, Chu Yuan received such an imperial edict the next day at noon.
Xiao Luzi grinned from ear to ear, “Your Majesty, didn’t you tell the Emperor the other day that you wanted your birth mother to benefit from your fame and enjoy the blessings of having children?”
Well, His Majesty has come up with a solution for you. He has elevated Madam Lu to the status of a secondary wife of Lord Lu and rewarded her with a considerable amount of silver. He has also specially summoned Lord Lu to the Imperial Study and instructed him to build a separate residence for Madam Lu, with at least two courtyards, right next to the Lu residence. The Emperor will pay for the land.
That way, it will be more convenient for you to leave the palace to visit your family in a few days, and that Fang family's daughter, a woman of great talent and virtue, will no longer be able to give your birth mother any attitude.
Overjoyed, Chu Yuan hugged the imperial edict and knelt down to express her gratitude. "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Xiao Luzi, please tell the Emperor that I miss him."
As he spoke, he took a painting from the table, rolled it up, and handed it to Xiao Luzi.
"Please also deliver this to His Majesty on my behalf. By the way, His Majesty must open it personally; no one else is allowed to see it."
How could anyone else possibly see the painting of the beauty emerging from her bath by Emperor Xian of Wei?
When she gets bored taking care of the kids, Chu Yuan will draw a few strokes, but these are by no means just serious everyday drawings.
Everyday life is just like that. Eating is everyday, spending time with the kids is everyday, and taking a bath is everyday too, right?
There's even a story about Emperor Xian of Wei accidentally getting urinated on by his son.
Having received the gift she wanted, Chu Yuan reciprocated by giving him one as well.
Xiao Luzi happily took the painting and turned around, the upturned corners of his mouth looking rather meaningful.
Chu Yuan called out to him, "Xiao Luzi, is your godfather in good health?"
The latter turned around in surprise, paused for a moment, and nodded, "Very good, quick and efficient, probably able to serve the Emperor and Empress for several more decades."
With a faint smile, Chu Yuan said, "If I were to ask the Emperor for you to serve the Crown Prince, would you be willing?"
Xiao Luzi was personally trained by Eunuch Li. He was clever, insightful, diligent, and loyal, making him an excellent candidate for a personal attendant.
The crown prince will become the emperor when he grows up, and Xiao Luzi is just right for him.
As for the Prince Xian and the Prince Qi, Chu Yuan would find other candidates for them. In short, she treated all three sons equally, but since Jiu Chao was the Crown Prince, there would be many differences in terms of etiquette, which was unavoidable.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Luzi was overjoyed, "This servant is willing! Of course this servant is willing!"
He had his eye on the Imperial Concubine from the very beginning, and he had been trying to curry favor with her from time to time, all for this day.
Suddenly, his dream came true, and Xiao Luzi felt a little unreal.
But he also knew that once he was transferred to the young prince's side, all of this would only be the beginning.
"Your Majesty's appreciation is truly appreciated, and this servant will certainly not let you down!" Xiao Luzi excitedly bowed deeply to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan waved her hand, "Go, give the painting to the Emperor, and then go to the Lu residence to deliver the imperial edict."
"This servant takes his leave!" Xiao Luzi immediately moved with lightning speed, wishing he could transform into a beam of light and arrive in a flash!
Chu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
Mingyue stopped playing with the child and walked to Chu Yuan's side. "Your Majesty can rest assured now. Concubine Lin has everything: status, wealth, and freedom. From now on, as long as you remain in power in the palace, her life will be just like that of the Empress Dowager, very comfortable."
"Hmm." She had finally fulfilled the original female lead's second wish.
Can my first wish be considered fulfilled, albeit barely?
Thinking about it, Chu Yuan called out to Baba, "What did you say? Did the original owner think three children were enough?"
The voice, sounding sleepy, chattered on and on: "Host, how do you think the word 'good' is written?"
Chu Yuan, “?”
"It's just a woman and a boy," she suddenly realized.
Her beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed. "So, we still need to have daughters. How many? One, two, three?"
After asking, I waited for a while, but there was no sound.
Chu Yuan was about to explode, "What are you doing? Is there any system that's so passive and lazy?!"
A series of beeping electronic sounds, like a malfunctioning microphone, crackled: "[Host! Ugh! You're so noisy! I was dreaming about being with my goddess, and you had to call me all of a sudden! You've disturbed my sweet dream!]"
Chu Yuan felt inexplicably guilty; it was indeed unpleasant to have her sweet dream disturbed.
But... this lousy system only likes to binge-watch dramas all day long, when did it start having a goddess?
Her expression instantly became sly. "Bah, tell me the truth, were you having a wet dream? And was the object of your dream some human? Let me tell you, humans and systems are reproductively isolated, wake up!"
Baba stretched lazily, utterly disdainful: "How could this system possibly like humans? Pshaw, don't joke around. My goddess is a rising star in the system world—high intelligence, stunning looks, slender and petite…"
"Alright, stop talking, I'm not interested," Chu Yuan interrupted ruthlessly.
Just as he was about to launch into a tirade of praise for his goddess: [...]
Chu Yuan continued with the previous question, "Have you checked how many daughters the original female lead wanted?"
He shrugged, then replied with a cool, aloof expression: "I don't know."
"What the hell? You don't even know how I'm supposed to complete the mission?"
[Let's match them up! The number of girls corresponds to the number of points!]
Chu Yuan's eyes widened in shock. "Are you kidding me? You want me to have triplets again?"
[Don't worry, my little darling, the database is now complete, and the painless childbirth pills won't fail anymore. Besides, I think it's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. Getting pregnant and giving birth to three at once is better than getting pregnant and giving birth to one child at a time. What do you think, my little darling?]
