I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 513: The rather annoying Lanling King

Shen Changgong said with a somewhat embarrassed expression,

"It's not that I can't give birth. I'm in good health and haven't suffered any injuries. The imperial physicians have checked me and there's nothing wrong.

So it’s good to seek some help from metaphysics.

Once Xiao Qiao has cleansed my sins of killing, I will work hard and cultivate diligently, and then I will make sure all of you are pregnant with big fat boys."

The girls all grumbled and rolled their eyes at him.

Gongsun Wan'er's thinking process was different from that of ordinary people. She raised Tu Que Ling's hand and asked,

"Including her?"

Everyone laughed, and Tu Que Ling hit Gongsun Wan'er hard, her face blushing with shame.

Shen Changgong suddenly had an idea and said,

"The old Taoist said that he had seen that piece of unpolished jade in the Qi Palace a few years ago. It was pale yellow and white.

This piece of jade is priceless. Could it be that it was taken to the south by the Emperor of Qi, then robbed by the Zhennan Army and sent all at once to Shengjing?

I remember that most of the spoils were sent to Shengjing."

The women all frowned when they heard this, but Yu Ziling shook her head and said,

"No, it's still in my palace."

"Ok?"

Looking at the eyes of the crowd, Yu Ziling turned her head slightly and said in a low voice,

“When Emperor Qi first married me, he offered me this piece of jade to curry my favor, saying he would carve it into a jade pendant to protect me and ward off evil.

I thought the jade was of good quality and didn't want to waste it, so I accepted it and didn't carve it. Now it's placed in the corner of the altar in my palace.

When the Emperor of Qi fled, he took away many treasures, but he didn't take anything from my bedroom."

"Okay, when you get back, bring that piece of jade to Xiao Qiao and ask her to carve it.

"Surely, can such a young girl really carve jade? Where did she learn it?"

Shen Changgong muttered softly.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruoxue, who had been silent all this time, frowned and said to Shen Changgong,

"Husband, I think what the Taoist priest said is right. You have committed too many sins. Don't kill people in the future. There are soldiers to fight with. You still have so many men. Just let others do it."

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"That's not how it counts. Killing sins only count if I didn't kill them myself. Those who died because of me count. I started the war, I commanded it, so naturally, these killing sins are mine.

Bai Wuan has never personally killed an enemy, so does that mean he has no sins of killing? His sins of killing are no less than mine."

Jiang Ruoxue sighed. This kind-hearted traditional lady could not stand such things.

Although she also experienced two killing scenes.

Once he was kidnapped by Tu Queling, and another time he encountered an assassin at home.

Soon, they returned to Linzi. Halfway through, King Nan Ma Ling got off the car and took his wife and children back. Xiao Qiao reluctantly said goodbye to her little friend Ma Chao, and then got on the emperor's dragon chariot.

She was very happy to see the car full of beautiful and kind sisters.

She saw that the annoying Lanling King was here again and became unhappy again.

Xiao Qiao glared at Shen Changgong, snorted coquettishly, and then sat at the door, farthest away from Shen Changgong.

Jiang Ruoxue hugged her gently, talked to her and made her happy.

After returning to the palace and finishing his meal, Shen Changgong asked Xiao Qiao,

"If you need anything, I'll send someone to bring it to you later."

"I...if possible, I'd like a room. It's quite cold sleeping outside. It would be even better if I had a quilt."

Xiao Qiao looked at Shen Changgong timidly.

Shen Changgong was amused by her appearance and said,

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. I'll make sure you have enough food and clothes. I'll give you whatever you want."

"really?"

Xiao Qiao looked at Shen Changgong warily, as if she was looking at a weird uncle who abducted ignorant girls.

"Really? Come with me. I'll arrange a palace for you to rest. We should set off to the south in two days."

"Ok."

Xiao Qiao obediently followed Shen Changgong to the harem. Shen Changgong called Hu Shangyi and asked her to arrange two palace maids to serve Xiao Qiao personally. He solemnly stated that this girl was very important and must not let any mistakes happen to her.

After Hu Shangyi learned about it, she arranged for two palace maids around 30 years old to serve. These two palace maids had taken care of children before, and they were thoughtful and good at serving people.

After entering his room, Xiao Qiao looked at the splendor in the room, his eyes full of curiosity, but without a trace of greed.

In her understanding, there is no concept of money at all, let alone knowing whether these things are valuable.

On the contrary, after seeing the soft bed, the little guy was very excited. He yelled, ran over, and lay on the bed, shouting,

"I just love the bed! It's so soft!"

Shen Changgong smiled. As long as the little guy still wanted something, it would be easy to coax him.

After a while, Xiao Qiao got up from the bed, looked at Shen Changgong, and said curiously,

"Lanling Wang, why are you still here? Boys and girls can't sleep in the same room. If you don't have a place to sleep, I see there's a small shop outside.

Well...how about I sleep in the small shop and give you this big bed.

After all, you are an adult and I am a child, so I can just sleep on a smaller bed."

Hearing this, Shen Changgong felt a little touched. Although this little girl was a little willful and hated him, she had a kind heart and knew how to give good things to others.

“No, I have a place to sleep, I just came to see how it is here.

Is there anything else you need?"

"Yes, I need pen, ink, paper and inkstone to draw the rough sketch of the talisman to be carved on the jade pendant. You also need to find me a set of carving tools.

This is the imperial palace, there should be everything in the palace, right?"

"Don't worry, these things will be delivered to you when you wake up tomorrow. Go to sleep."

"Well, since you gave me such a comfortable bed, you are no longer the most annoying Lanling King. You are the more annoying Lanling King."

Shen Changgong laughed silently and gently closed the door for her.

Haha, there are actually different levels of dislike.

He came out to the passage of the harem, and for a moment he was a little confused, not knowing where to go.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Tu Queling, the little follower behind him, asked.

"I was just wondering where I was going to sleep."

Tu Queling curled his lips and said nothing.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm not laughing."

"Are you cursing me in your heart that I deserve it for finding so many women and being so busy that I don't even know which one to be with?"

"I suggest you accompany His Majesty."

"What?"

"She's the hardest to appease. The naughty kids get candy."

"Bah, she's making a fuss."

Shen Changgong smiled and continued walking slowly.

"Then you should go and accompany Gongsun Wan'er."

"What?"

"You haven't been with her for a month."
