Chapter 147 I Want You All to Myself
Accustomed to Yun Ji blushing when teased, Nan Yingzhi saw that he frowned after a while and was a little surprised: "What is it that makes you so reserved?"
Yun Ji refused to give in: "You agree first."
"Okay, okay, I promise you." Thinking that it was rare for him to ask her for something, Nan Yingzhi's curiosity was aroused. "Go ahead and talk. I'll listen."
"In the future, when you ascend to the throne, can you take in fewer concubines?"
Without waiting for her to reply, Yun Ji lowered his head, looking lonely.
"I know very well that the country cannot be left without successors, and the more royal heirs the better. Every emperor should have three thousand beauties in his harem.
"I shouldn't have deprived you of the right to participate in the draft for my own selfish reasons.
"But I just want to have you all to myself."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth inadvertently curved up, as if mocking himself: "Xiao Zhizi, my thoughts are so twisted, does it disgust you?"
Originally, she had no intention of starting a harem, so Nan Yingzhi held his hand.
"Qingchuan'er, I was born with a cold heart, and I don't have many good feelings towards others. If I share them with you alone, there will be very little left."
"Don't worry. There are three thousand rivers, and I only take one scoop. You don't have to worry about it."
"This is not good. Throughout history, there has never been an emperor who did not marry concubines," Yun Ji shook his head. "If you do this, you will be criticized and become the target of public criticism."
“Love is just the spice of life. What I really want to do is to benefit the people.
"With all my attention devoted to state affairs, I have very little time for romance.
"Besides, loving you alone is already my limit. If you are unhappy due to someone else, I can't handle it.
"Why do anything that affects our relationship?"
"But," Yun Ji said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to hear others say bad things about you."
"What can a few spit do to me?" Nan Yingzhi chuckled, "Let them talk."
Yun Ji still tried to make up for the harem: "But the throne must have an heir."
Nan Yingzhi patted the back of his hand: "Can't you give birth to me too?"
Yun Ji suddenly remembered Jin An's words, "If a woman doesn't give birth to a child, don't blame the man for going out to find one," and he felt uneasy.
Although Jin An's words were not pleasant to hear for him as a woman, he had to admit that Jin An's words were true.
There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. If he had married a wife who was unable to bear children, he might have really found a concubine to carry on the family line.
It was also because of this that he was shocked to find that after being a man for many years, he had never expected that the situation of women would be so difficult.
"What if, I mean what if," Yun Ji swallowed his saliva, his words were still difficult, "What if I can't give birth?"
Nan Yingzhi never thought that not being able to have children was such a tragedy, her expression was natural.
"If you can't have children, then adopt someone from the side branch. If that doesn't work, then abdicate. It's just finding a capable person for the country. There's not much difference."
Perhaps because she had been a girl for too long, or perhaps because she was ashamed of her selfish thoughts, Yun Ji's eyes misted over and she murmured, "For what you said, I will definitely give birth to children for you."
Seeing that he was deeply touched, Nan Yingzhi suddenly thought of a sentence.
Being female is a situation, not a gender.
Feeling that the matter could come to an end, she coughed lightly and turned the topic back to Happy Pink: "By the way, you have always been cautious, why did you use Chinese medicine this time?"
Back to the point, Yun Ji barely came back to his senses.
He recalled the places he had been to and the people he had met this morning, and he had the answer in his mind: “Xiao Zhizi, I suspect that this was the work of the Queen Mother.
"Originally, the Queen Mother always found fault with me when she saw that I was favored. Today, when I paid my respects to her, she said that as the most favored concubine in the harem, I should give birth to a child for Yun Ting.
“But first of all, I couldn’t touch his body, so I was powerless.
“Secondly, I am only willing to carry your child for nine months.
"I refused a few words, and she offered me tea. When I got to her, the maid had just changed the pot of tea.
“If the two pots of tea are the same, and the other concubines are all in trouble, it proves that the Queen Mother did not do it unintentionally.
“But if you are infected with the pleasure powder, you need to find a man to have sex with. I think other concubines will use this to win favor.
"It is no small matter for all the concubines above Zhaoyi to seek favor together. The fact that we have not received any relevant information so far proves that they have not been affected."
"So, the Queen Mother only drugged you," Nan Yingzhi was a little puzzled, "but what is her purpose?
"Are you going to be accused of committing adultery in broad daylight?"
"It's still unknown," Yun Ji shook his head, "but you said before that the Queen Mother sent someone to assassinate you, which is enough to show that the Queen Mother is not a good person. She may have other purposes."
Knowing that most of the royalists in the court were in the service of the Queen Mother, Nan Yingzhi nodded, "Indeed."
"Come to think of it, aren't you going to try to instigate a rebellion against Jin An?" she asked, "How's it going?"
Yun Ji was a little embarrassed: "Originally, when he came here today, I wanted to test his attitude, but I didn't expect that I would be infected with the joy powder. I had a lot to say, but I didn't have time to say it."
"But," Nan Yingzhi was curious, "how did you convince Jin An to invite me?"
"He went there by himself," Yun Ji recalled the scene at that time, and he always felt that Jin An's smile was meaningful, "He seemed to say that this joy powder has magical effects."
"Does pleasure powder have other uses?" Nan Yingzhi was surprised. "I thought it was only an aphrodisiac."
"I don't know much about this thing," Yun Ji suggested, "but Lin Chi knows a lot about these things in order to make up the plot of the story.
"Maybe, you can ask her, or send her to check."
"Lin Chi has been busy writing treasonous articles lately, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to check," Nan Yingzhi changed the subject, "But, since this thing is from the martial arts world, I think there is someone who should know a lot about it."
