After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group

Chapter 659 Disillusionment?

On the day of the emperor's birthday, all officials and their families were present. On the one hand, it was to congratulate His Majesty, and on the other hand, it was also a good opportunity to choose a son-in-law.

Many women fell in love with Lu Beichen, but they never thought that they didn't even have a chance to compete.

The princess was the one they were attracted to. Even if their families were prosperous, could they compare to her? Better than the inferior, better than the superior... they could only watch.

Somehow this matter reached Qin'er's ears, and she told it to Fu Ling.

"Your Highness, you don't know that many young ladies from official families are depressed at home, some even crying. I'm wondering, this should be their first time meeting their future prince consorts, right? Why are they so sad?"

Fu Ling smiled and said, "Do you know what disillusionment means?"

"Disillusionment?...Hmm...I don't understand." Qin'er racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.

Fu Ling then asked, "Do you know what love at first sight is?"

"I know this, but I never believe in love at first sight."

Fu Ling chuckled, "Just because they don't believe it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. They fell in love with their future husband at first sight, but just as they were beginning to develop feelings for him, they discovered he already had someone else in his heart. They didn't even stand a chance. Sadness is inevitable, but the talk of them weeping is a bit exaggerated. I think it's just a gimmick and shouldn't be taken seriously."

"Ah? It's fake? You said it so convincingly that I actually thought it was true."

"It's half true and half false. By the way, you have been in the palace all the time. How do you know so much about the affairs of Xuanyuan Royal City?" Fu Ling asked curiously.

Qin'er was puzzled. "Your Highness, don't you know about this? Or did you tell me?"

I was so careless. I was just curious and didn't think about this.

"Oh, look at my brain, it's all blank for a moment, I can't remember anything. Where was that place? I suddenly have no impression of it."

"Your Highness, isn't it just the gossip room? You only need to spend a hundred coins to go in and listen to gossip. I go there occasionally so I won't be left out of the news."

Oh wow, there is actually such a place.

Qin Er continued, "Those who know the outside news are mostly eunuchs who often go out to buy things. After hearing the recent gossip in the city, they sell it at the gossip shops. This is no secret in the palace. Even the imperial concubines often send palace servants to inquire about the news."

"So that's how it is!" No wonder news from the palace is often known to everyone. So this is what is going on.

"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't this a private transaction? Doesn't my father know about this?"

"This palace belongs to His Majesty. How can we keep secrets? As long as it's not excessive, His Majesty will turn a blind eye. The Gossip Bureau was not like this before. If you wanted to get information, you couldn't get in without ten taels of silver. There were special people guarding outside, and only those who paid ten taels of silver could go in and listen. Later, it was said that the group of people were secretly dealt with by His Majesty. After that, the Gossip Bureau was no longer a secret. For only 100 coins, you can listen in as much as you want, as long as it doesn't delay anything."

Fu Ling was amused when she heard this. She probably understood what was going on. If she guessed correctly, the one who would eventually monopolize the market was her good father, the emperor. The 100 coins would eventually fall into his hands. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. Who would dare to pluck the hair from a tiger's head? Unless they didn't want to live.

"That's great. Next time if you find something interesting, remember to tell me!" Fu Ling has always been open to gossip, especially in this era without television and the Internet. Apart from gossip, there are not many entertainment activities.

"Yes, I have remembered this."

Sigh, every time he heard them call him slaves, slaves, Fu Ling would feel uncomfortable. Who is more noble than who? We are all human beings, why are there distinctions between high and low?

Even though she is a princess now, she does not feel the slightest bit of superiority.

But this is the current situation, a fact that she cannot change unless she is the one in charge here. Unfortunately, she is just a passer-by, and she will leave when things here are settled.

After lunch, Fu Ling excitedly found Lu Beichen.

"I have good news for you." His face showed uncontrollable excitement.

"Has the system been updated?" Lu Beichen hit the nail on the head.

"You'll never imagine how awesome this upgrade is."

Lu Beichen chuckled, holding Fu Ling in his arms and replied, "Wife, have you forgotten that I have Xiaojiu..."

Fu Ling slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my god, how could I have forgotten about this? Has Xiaojiu updated it as well?"

"Yes, now I just need to start the system scan. I don't need to read the other party's memory. I just need to lock onto the other party at close range and input what I want to know, and then I can get the information I want."

"What else?" Fu Ling smiled like a flower.

"The transmission distance has been upgraded and is no longer limited. This time it can cover the entire world." Lu Beichen was really shocked when Xiaojiu told him the news.

"Not only that, there are new products added to the system."

"You look so happy, it must be something extraordinary. What makes you so happy? Tell me about it."

"Hey, you'd never guess."

"Teleport to any portal."

"Anywhere portal? What is that??"

"Just tell the portal where you want to be teleported, and you'll be there when you walk in. Isn't that convenient? And the best part is, it can teleport across dimensions. Anywhere you can name, you can reach it."

"It's really good, but this Anywhere Door isn't cheap, is it?"

"It's really not cheap, it's worth more than 600 million points."

Lu Beichen took a deep breath. He had thought it would be expensive, but he hadn't expected it to cost over 600 million.

"It's a bit expensive, but it can solve the problem once and for all. With it, I can go anywhere without any obstacles and there is no limit on the number of times I can go." Fu Ling's face was full of excitement. This meant that even if he returned to China in the future, it would only take a moment to come here.

Lu Beichen was also very happy to hear this. This way, he could switch back and forth without worrying about running out of points.

This is also the reason why Fu Ling wanted to earn more points.

It costs 1000 points to travel across time once. Even if she has million points, she can't afford it. Sooner or later, she will run out of points. But the portal is different. As long as she is alive, she can teleport anytime and anywhere and go wherever she wants.

Fu Ling grabbed Lu Beichen's hand and said, "Hubby, we can go home anytime, that's great."

"Do you want to go back? I'll go back with you."

Fu Ling thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's a bit difficult to find an excuse to come out after returning, especially you. Knowing that you are back, it would be unreasonable if I don't return to the army. So, let's put an end to things here before returning, at least after the wedding..."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lu Beichen was very glad that he was born in a peaceful era. If it were a wartime, he would be fighting on the battlefield right now, and it would be difficult for him to even be with his wife.
