The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 535: Sad Cloud

Hearing that Jiang Li had woken up, a group of people rushed in.

Xie Chang'an was holding Xie Wuchou, Miss Lian was holding Xie Wuyou, Zhen'er and Zhu'er were leading Xie Buli and Xie Buqi, and a group of people rushed to the bed.

Jiang Li smiled and waved to Xie Buli and Xie Buqi: "Buli, Buqi, come to mother."

The two little babies ran to their mother's bed excitedly: "Mommy, mommy, you slept for a long time! My brother and sister finished drinking milk and fell asleep again!"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Are brothers and sisters fun?"

Xie Buqi's eyes sparkled: "How fun! They are so small, just like the porcelain dolls sold at the Lantern Festival!"

Xie Buli said seriously, "My aunt said that we were also this small before."

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "Newborn babies are so small. If they eat well and sleep well, they will grow up."

Jiang Li asked, "Is Wuyou Wuchou asleep? Bring her here so I can take a look."

Xie Changan took Xie Wuyou from Aunt Lian's hands, holding one in each hand, and gently placed the newborn twins on Jiang Li's pillow, saying softly, "My wife, you have worked hard."

Jiang Li leaned sideways and looked carefully at the two babies in the cradle.

A round little face, delicate eyebrows, a straight little nose, and rosy little lips, they are like two mini versions of myself!

"The blue swaddling cloth is Wuyou? The red one is Wuchou?"

The two babies looked exactly the same. If it weren't for the different colors of their swaddling clothes, she wouldn't be able to tell which was the son and which was the daughter.

Xie Buli smiled sweetly: "Look, mother, my sister is just like Buli, there is a small sesame seed under her eye."

Jiang Li looked closely and saw that Xie Wuchou also had a small beauty mole at the corner of his eye.

She smiled and touched Xie Buli's face, praising her: "Buli is so considerate, she will definitely be a good sister in the future!"

Xie Buli nodded heavily: "Buli will definitely take good care of his younger brothers and sisters!"

Xie Buqi also puffed out his chest: "Buqi will also protect his younger brothers and sisters and won't let others bully them!"

Jiang Li praised them: "Great! Those who stick together and never give up are all good brothers and sisters!"

Xie Changan couldn't help but laugh. Where did Xie Buqi learn this word when he was protecting his younger brother and sister?

Aunt Lian ordered Feicui to take Shanhuer, Yingluoer and several other maids to serve meal to the prince.

"Young Master, Young Miss, I will take you to have some snacks so that your mother can have a good rest."

After the group left the bedroom, Xie Changan bent down and kissed Jiang Li's forehead, saying softly, "Little Li slave, thank you."

Jiang Li glanced at him: "Are you satisfied now?"

Finally, she got what she wanted and had a little girl who looked exactly like her.

"More than satisfied? Absolutely ecstatic!"

Xie Changan held her hand and smiled, "I wish I could beat gongs and drums and circle the capital three times!"

"Ha ha……"

Jiang Li laughed so hard that her body shook. "Then go quickly!"

Xie Changan laughed and said, "I'm afraid that the censors will report me and accuse me of disturbing the people."

He gently picked up the sleeping Xie Wuchou and kissed her tender little face.

"Daddy's sweetheart, don't grow up too fast, or you'll be kidnapped by some wild boy out there!"

Jiang Li said angrily, "Is there any father like you? Who doesn't want their child to grow up quickly?"

He actually hopes that his daughter will grow up slowly!

Xie Changan sighed, "If I don't have a daughter, I long for one. If I have one, I'm afraid she'll be taken away by some wild boy. It's so hard to be a father!"

Whenever he thought about his Buli and Wuchou being married off to some bad boy from another family in the future, his heart ached.

Jiang Li chuckled: "If you don't want your daughter to get married, you can find a live-in son-in-law!"

Xie Changan's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

He thought about it and said dejectedly, "How many good men are willing to marry into the family?"

Jiang Li said angrily, "Buli is only two years old, and Wuchou was just born, why are you thinking about this?"

She turned her head to look at Xie Wuyou beside her. The third child, who was neglected by his father, was leaning against his mother and sleeping peacefully.

"Look at us Wuyou, how well behaved we are."

Xie Changan gently patted the little girl in his arms and said with a smile, "This kid really doesn't like to cry. Wuchou is just like Bulibuqi. When he is put in the nurse's arms, he bursts into tears. This kid is silent, with his lips tightly pursed, and he won't open his mouth at all."

Protest the wet nurse's breastfeeding in silence.

It was not until Aunt Lian brought him goat milk that Xie Wuyou opened his mouth obediently.

Jiang Li kissed her youngest son's cheek and said with a smile, "You are all mother's good children."

At this time, Fei'er Cui'er came back with four maids and several food boxes.

Xie Changan then put Xie Wuchou down, poured a bowl of chicken soup, and fed Jiang Li skillfully.

Life was peaceful and tranquil here, but across the sea in Japan, things were gloomy and depressing.

The new empress issued an imperial decree to enrich the emperor's harem and to recruit beautiful women from the public.

During the selection period, people were not allowed to marry, and all women of marriageable age had to report to the government and register for the selection.

"Another talent show?"

People are terrified. Didn't they hold an election before the Lunar New Year? Why are they holding another one right after the Lunar New Year?

"The Queen has decreed that elections must be held every year from now on!"

The official who posted the notice had a stern face.

The people are furious. Do we have to hold elections every year?

They have all been taken into the emperor's harem. There are fewer and fewer women of marriageable age among the people. Won't all the men be bachelors?

The nobles in Kyoto City were also shocked.

In the beauty selection held years ago, all the women of marriageable age from the five major families, namely the Genji, Taira, Fujiwara, Tachibana, and Toyotomi, were selected and taken into the emperor's harem.

Marriages among Japanese nobles are a closed loop, basically they are internal marriages, and they will never marry commoners.

Especially the five major families, let alone commoners, they also look down on the second-class aristocratic families.

Now they want to get married, but they don’t have any daughters of the right age!

Do we have to choose every year in the future?

Wouldn't this mean they would have no descendants?

The indignant nobles rushed to the emperor's palace.

"We want to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, please withdraw the imperial edict!"

Harem.

The emperor fell to the ground and looked at his queen with horror.

Chu Feixue was wearing a twelve-piece dress, with a complicated bun and exquisite hairpins inserted in her hair. The blood-red red spider lily at the corner of her eye made her originally beautiful eyebrows and eyes look particularly strange.

The Emperor trembled timidly: "Why...another...another selection?"

Chu Feixue looked down at him and said, "I wish to enrich your Majesty's harem. Is your Majesty unhappy?"

"Didn't we choose...year...before the New Year?"

The Emperor stammered.

"We only selected twenty people before the New Year. How can that be enough?"

Chu Feixue laughed sweetly, "Since ancient times, which emperor didn't have three thousand beauties in his harem?"

"If we don't choose a few more, how can we make the royal family flourish?"

She particularly emphasized the word "branching out and spreading out", and there was an unspeakable evil in her tone. The emperor felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat.

Years ago, the new queen selected twenty young women for him at once, saying that she wanted to enrich his harem. The emperor was very happy and thought that she was virtuous, considerate and sensible.

She was not jealous at all. She prepared nourishing medicine for him every day and arranged for concubines to sleep with him.

When she heard that a concubine was pregnant, she seemed happier than herself!

The emperor was very pleased and repeatedly praised her as a role model for the harem.

Until he saw the horrifying scene with his own eyes.
