Chapter 708 New Year’s Eve
Chapter 708 A Hundred Years Later
The retired emperor originally came in anger, thinking that if his beloved grandson was tired, he would announce in front of all the court officials that the prince would not be allowed to attend court.
When he got here, contrary to his expectations, his grandson was not as tired as he had imagined.
On the contrary, he was quite happy and joined everyone in discussing the model enthusiastically. Even the ministers were very enthusiastic.
Not only did they not argue to the point of getting red in the face like they did in the past, they were even talking and laughing with each other.
This really surprised him, and he also liked this atmosphere so much that he continued to do so in the next few days.
He attended the morning court early, just as if he had not abdicated, and discussed the model with other ministers.
No matter what the matter is, you can find the corresponding place on the model. When you are tired, you can sit down and drink some tea like everyone else.
He often had the illusion that he was attending a palace banquet and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
I feel a little regretful in my heart. I should have not abdicated so early. It is too easy for Chen'er to be the emperor.
As soon as he entered the court, he would leisurely drink tea and wait for the ministers to finish their discussion and then just nod his head.
There were still people helping him review memorials after court hours. It must have been too easy for him to be the emperor.
Shen Yiyi found it easy to be the queen. It must be said that she learned the essence of Shang Zhanchen.
The information of all the people in the harem was sorted out, and those with special skills were recruited, and the various departments of the harem were divided into several groups.
Whether it is outgoing or incoming payments, there is a dedicated person in charge, and power will not be concentrated in the hands of one person.
Each group has a manager, and the wives of Shaoyao and Long Yinwei are responsible for managing these managers.
If the problem cannot be solved, it will be reported to Shen Yiyi, and it will be handled by one level at a time.
Shen Yiyi was so happy that she didn't have to worry about everything every day like before.
I went back to my old life of lying down, without having to get up early or stare at the account book every day.
There was no need to question them one by one, so they were completely liberated, which made the empress dowager angry.
"..."
When I was in charge of the harem myself, I had to take care of the affairs of each department every day, and it was common for me to be busy all day long.
Unlike my daughter-in-law, who has so much free time, she spends her days in the garden admiring flowers and petting tigers, and eating and drinking.
So enviable!
Shang Zhanchen basically only needs half a day to finish all the things, and the afternoon is free time.
After staying in the harem for a long time, she took Shen Yiyi and the children to the capital city and abducted the retired emperor and the empress dowager.
But they became addicted to it and the little ones started to wander around, attracted by the colorful world outside the palace.
They often begged their father to take them out of the palace to play, but this was not a solution, so Shang Zhanchen came up with a good idea.
The unused courtyards in the East Palace were converted into playgrounds, some for horseback riding and some for playing Cuju.
Others did various handicrafts, and all the entertainment activities available in the capital were moved to the harem.
But the little ones were so happy that they would come running over as soon as they opened their eyes every day and have a lot of fun playing.
Even the retired emperor and empress dowager grew up here and had a lot of fun playing with their grandchildren.
This also inspired Shen Yiyi to make use of all the unused courtyards in the palace.
Various medicinal herbs were planted, even in the cold palace. Every summer, the entire palace was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.
Not only does the smell make people feel refreshed, but even the body feels unusually relaxed.
There are no other women in this harem. Not only does Shen Yiyi live a comfortable life, but Shang Zhanchen also lives a comfortable life.
With the continuous introduction of policies that benefit the people, people's lives are getting better and better.
In addition, with the ceasefire, there was no large-scale conscription and grain collection, and people had some grain reserves at home.
But it’s not without worries. In recent years, letters from various countries have been pouring in like snowflakes.
They all wanted to marry the Princess Saint Doctor. Not to mention the many benefits of having good relations with the Great Shang Kingdom, the Princess Saint Doctor's abilities alone were worth their huge expenditures to marry her.
With the Saint Doctor Princess' medical skills, she can easily destroy an entire country by herself, once she can be married.
That is equivalent to having thousands of troops. Even if you don't attack other countries, you can ensure that your own country is not disturbed by war.
How could Shang Zhanchen not know what they all knew?
He would not leave any hidden dangers for the Shang Kingdom, and as an old father he would not be willing to let his daughter marry far away.
All the replies gave the same reason: they were reluctant to let their beloved daughters marry far away, and they wanted to recruit a son-in-law into the palace in the future.
Seeing that there was no hope for the Princess Divine Doctor, the other countries set their sights on Shang Jiao and wanted to marry their own princesses to him.
Even being a concubine has many benefits, but without exception, Shang Zhanchen rejected them all.
The reason is that the prince is still young, and his marriage will be decided by himself when he grows up.
What a joke! He knew very well the benefits of a daughter-in-law, so how could he cause so much trouble for his son?
This also made Shen Yiyi very satisfied, and she was so happy that she gave Brother Chen another pair of children.
There was constant laughter and joy in the harem all day long, which not only tied Shang Zhanchen's heart tightly, but even the emperor and the empress resigned and revolved around their grandchildren.
Time passed quickly, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Yiyi, with a head full of silver hair, sat at the head of the bed, looking sullenly at Shang Zhanchen, who was also lying on the bed with a head full of silver hair.
"Open your mouth and take the medicine quickly!"
Looking at the pills Yiyi handed over, Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his mouth.
"Yiyi, it's no use. My time is coming."
This time, the Yang Dan will be effective after taking it once. He has been eating it as if it were a meal, but there is no improvement at all.
It seems that his time is up and there is no need to waste these pills.
"Who said that? Maybe it will work after you take it this time." Shen Yiyi suppressed the emotions in her eyes.
She was also puzzled because her Huiyang Pills were obviously very effective for other people.
It just doesn't work for Brother Chen. I've tried so much, but there's no sign of improvement.
"Yiyi, don't waste your energy." Shang Zhanchen held Shen Yiyi's hand.
"I said I would protect you forever, but this time I'm going to break my promise."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Yiyi's tears fell.
If Brother Chen is gone, then what's the point of her living?
"Don't be sad. Everyone will die eventually. I'll wait for you there first. You can come find me after you raise our great-great-grandson."
Shang Zhanchen also had a look of reluctance on his face. He could feel his true energy gradually dissipating.
"Well, then you must wait for me!" Shen Yiyi pouted.
This time Brother Chen is really going to leave her!
"Okay." Shang Zhanchen nodded.
"Then when you get there, if other women show interest in you, you are not allowed to pay attention to them."
"Okay." Shang Zhanchen nodded again.
"You are not allowed to look at them any more."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his mouth.
"Then when I'm gone, you're not allowed to flirt with other men."
"How could I!" Shen Yiyi couldn't stop crying.
Shang Zhanchen raised his hand and wanted to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but as soon as his hand was raised, it fell down again.
"Brother Chen!"
