Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 134 The Groom Changed on the Wedding Night

I heard that the current prince is chaste and doesn't like women.

As the crown prince of a country, how can he survive without an heir? So the old emperor asked the crown prince to choose a concubine.

Groups of beautiful girls walked past the prince, and he just shook his head and said nothing.

Until he saw Shen Biting, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, he said casually, "Let's choose her."

Everything went smoothly on the wedding day. But when it came time for the wedding night, the prince suddenly changed his attitude and became cold and icy. "I don't like talking to people, and I don't allow lights to be turned on at night."

After that, he went out.

After a while, the prince came into the dark room again. He didn't say anything, and Shen Biting didn't dare to ask. The two of them spent the night like this.

The next day, Shen Biting met the prince. She was shy and timid, but the prince's face was still cold.

But outside the Crown Prince's residence, the Crown Prince became a gentle and refined person again. Especially in front of the Emperor and Empress, he showed the deep love of a married couple. The Emperor and Empress nodded in satisfaction, hoping that the Crown Princess would give birth to a grandson as soon as possible, so that the Great Zhou Kingdom would have a successor.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, the Prince had become a cold man again. Shen Biting was puzzled.

At night, Shen Biting quietly lit a candle while the man next to her fell asleep. She then realized that the man next to her was not the prince! She was so scared that she wanted to scream.

The man quickly covered her mouth and said in a low voice, "Crown Princess, don't you think about it? If it weren't for the Crown Prince's consent, how could I enter this heavily guarded East Palace?"

At this moment, someone opened the door, and the Crown Prince came in with a gloomy face. "Princess Consort, since you have discovered it, I will not hide it from you. As long as you can give birth to a grandson, I will ensure that you and the Shen family will have a worry-free life. But if the news leaks out, you and your Shen family will be buried with me."

Shen Biting turned pale with fear. It turned out the prince wasn't averse to women, but rather inhumane. If word got out, he'd definitely lose his chance at the throne. No wonder he chose the daughter of a minor official like my father. A lowly official is easier to manipulate.

After that, the prince became even more unscrupulous. He would have people watch at the door every night and insist that Shen Biting and Lu Wenzhao exercise.

The next day, he was sarcastic and irritating Shen Biting again.

Shen Biting: This is pure psychopathology. He can't do it himself, so he pushes his wife into the arms of another man. Then he blames his wife for not being faithful. He really wants it all.

However, Shen Biting was smart enough to know that even if she gave birth to the child, she and the Shen family would be doomed. She had to make plans in advance.

So at night, I whispered to Lu Wenzhao, "Tell me, if I have a child in my belly, which father will I be closer to?"

Lu Wenzhao sneered, "You want to sow discord? Who in the world doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are like brothers? I am the top scholar of the current dynasty, and our Lu family is a century-old family. If it weren't for the Crown Prince's request, do you think I would be willing to touch you?"

Although he said this, Shen Biting still did not miss the thoughtful look in his eyes.

Who can remain calm in the face of the huge temptation of power?

Shen Biting was pregnant, and the emperor and empress gave her many rewards.

It happened that there was a war at the border, so the prince petitioned the emperor to send Shen Biting's elder brother, Shen Ao, to guard the border.

Shen Biting secretly told her elder brother that he must firmly grasp the military power.

Less than two months later, the old emperor died of illness. The crown prince succeeded to the throne smoothly. The first thing he did upon taking the throne was to cut off Shen Ao's food supply.

At this time, Shen Ao was still struggling to gain a firm foothold and was short of food and fodder, so he was defeated and his clan was exterminated by the new emperor.

Meanwhile, the new emperor and Lu Wenzhao fell out. Lu Wenzhao was exiled to a cold and harsh land. Leveraging the Lu family's powerful connections and the emperor's remoteness, he quickly joined forces with Prince Rui to launch a rebellion.

In the end, the world was in chaos and Shen Biting was killed by the rebel army.

"I want to be the queen!"

"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

……

Today was the prince's wedding. That evening, Sheng Jiang heard someone tiptoeing towards him, so he pulled out a rolling pin from under his pillow and started hitting him.

With a scream of "Ah", blood instantly flowed from Lu Wenzhao's head.

This Lu Wenzhao, who had a secret crush on Shen Biting in the past, didn't even bother proposing marriage. During the Crown Prince's selection, he hinted at the Crown Prince choosing her. He knew the Crown Prince was inhumane and was trying to emulate Lü Buwei. What a jerk.

Thinking of this, Sheng Jiang beat him with the stick again, leaving him almost dead.

Soon the prince came over and shouted angrily, "Shen Biting! What are you doing?"

"I'd like to ask you, Prince, what are you planning to do? On your wedding night, you're actually inviting another man to your bridal chamber? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world if this gets out?"

"I am the crown prince, who in the world dares to laugh at me?"

The Crown Prince's face was gloomy. "But the Crown Princess, if the news spreads that she lost her virginity on the day of her wedding, bringing shame to the royal family, do you think your Shen family can still be saved?"

"Threatening me? Haha, if word gets out that the current crown prince is actually a useless eunuch, I wonder if you can still hold on to your position as crown prince?"

"you!"

The prince tried to reach out and pinch Ginger, but Ginger also hit him with a rolling pin until he fell unconscious.

Looking at the two men on the ground, Sheng Jiang felt sick. They were birds of a feather. If they just died like this, it would be too easy.

Thinking of something, Sheng Jiang cured the two men and lit a love incense in the house.

These two people both claim to be extremely smart, so it makes sense for them to be together. Anyway, the prince's thing is useless, so they just complement each other. I just wonder what expressions these two will have when they wake up the next day?

The next day, the prince and Lu Wenzhao woke up and saw bruises on their bodies, and they both screamed "Ah".

One is the gentle and elegant prince, and the other is the brilliant and promising top scholar of the imperial court. If this were to get out, how shocking would it be?

But Sheng Jiang didn't intend to let this scandal spread out now. After all, she still had to use her status as the Crown Princess.

More than a month later, news came from the Prince's Mansion that the Crown Princess was pregnant.

A few days later, news broke that the prince was a homosexual and had flirted with the number one scholar in public.

The emperor, who was in his 60s, was so angry that he almost had a stroke. He called the crown prince over and gave him a beating.

The prince stiffened his neck and said, "Father, I have already given birth to a child. I just like Wen Zhao. Who says men can only like women? True love is between men."

The Queen was so angry that she had a headache and kept shouting, "Lichun, my head hurts!"

At the same time, at the Lu family, Lu Wenzhao also knelt on the ground, stiffening his neck, "Dad, the Crown Prince and I are truly in love. That Crown Princess is just a reproductive machine. When she gives birth to the child, the Crown Prince will make me his consort, and the child will be registered under my name."

"Nonsense! Will the Emperor agree?"

"I don't care. I just want to be with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You traitor!"

Father Lu was helpless. He couldn't really beat his son to death, could he? Besides, it takes two to tango. The prince was also at fault. But he still went to the palace to apologize to the emperor.

Although the emperor was angry, he also knew that this matter was not entirely the Lu family's fault. Moreover, the Lu family was a century-old family, so they had to be cautious. He gave him a symbolic reprimand and let him go.

Therefore, only the incident of the Crown Princess being harmed was achieved. In order to appease the Shen family, the Emperor promoted Shen's father to the position of Shangshu. Coincidentally, there was unrest at the border, so Shen Ao was sent there to gain experience and was also given an official title.

This time Shen Ao has enough time to gain experience and should be able to take control of the army soon.

Prince Rui was secretly delighted by the Crown Prince's death. After all, the old emperor was 60 years old and had only two sons. If the Crown Prince died, wouldn't he be the only candidate to ascend the throne?

The prince was secretly portrayed as extremely tyrannical and unjust.

How could the prince tolerate slander? The two fought to the death.

The ministers were divided into two factions. One faction believed that the prince liked men and was immoral; the other faction believed that King Rui was scheming and could not tolerate his brothers.

The Shen family doesn't care about these things and only cares about developing their own power.

The main reason was that Shen's father did not hold a high official position in the past, Shen Ao was still holding an idle and empty position, and the family financial resources were too meager.

It is precisely because of this that the prince chose Shen Biting, thinking that the Shen family is easy to control.

Sheng Jiang allowed the Shen family to develop their own power. Of course, Shen Biting wanted to be the queen, which was easy for her to do. However, if she didn't have enough power, she would be quickly pulled down if she left in the future.

The struggle between the Crown Prince and Prince Rui was intense, reaching its peak after the Crown Princess gave birth to the prince.

As for whose child it was? Hehe, it wasn't the prince's, nor was it Lu Wenzhao's. I don't know what function Shen Biting unlocked to actually find a little puppy.

As soon as the child was born, the emperor was very pleased and directly named him the eldest grandson and personally brought him to the palace for education.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that even if the Crown Prince and Prince Rui were both dead, the throne would definitely fall into the hands of the Emperor's eldest grandson.

So Sheng Jiang killed the Crown Prince and Prince Rui without hesitation. To outsiders, it looked like the two of them were fighting each other, with both sides suffering losses.

The old emperor was sad for a while. Looking at his eldest grandson, he thought to himself that he must live a few more years to ensure that there would be someone to carry on the throne.

Not long after the prince died, Sheng Jiang attacked Lu Wenzhao again.

The onlookers in the capital were stunned. Could it be that the number one scholar and the prince were truly in love? As soon as the prince died, the number one scholar committed suicide for love.

Sheng Jiang made another body as soft as boneless for the prince and Lu Wenzhao, and sent them both to Nanfeng Pavilion.

If it is true love, I wonder what expression you would have when you see your beloved enjoying himself under another man?

Sure enough, when the prince saw Lu Wenzhao receiving guests, his eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to shout, "I am the prince of the current dynasty, how can you treat me like this?" Unfortunately, he couldn't shout it out.

Lu Wenzhao had the same expression.

This is what a normal person does. How can you send someone to someone else's bed just because you like her? Unless that woman is just a tool for him to fight for power and profit. Since she is just a tool, don't use the banner of love. Still want to be like Lu Buwei? Don't you see what Lu Buwei ended up with!

When Lu Wenzhao heard these words, he was terrified.

"Who are you? You are not Miss Shen!"

"Of course I'm not Miss Shen. I'm the current Crown Princess. I'm the mother of the emperor's most beloved eldest grandson! Wasn't this all arranged by you? Lu Wenzhao, what are you still dissatisfied with now?" Sheng Jiang sneered.

"No, you are not the Miss Shen I know. She is a gentle and kind person. She is definitely not as cruel and ruthless as you!"

"What a pity! That gentle and kind person has been killed by you. Lu Wenzhao, when you did these things, did you ever consider her feelings? Did you care about her reputation? Have you ever considered that if the truth comes out in the future, it will implicate the entire Shen family? I don't care if you want to drag your Lu family down with you, but why do you want to involve the entire Shen family?"

"No, I just want to have a good future for her and for me."

"No, you're doing this for yourself! Shen Biting doesn't even know you! And you want to drag her down with you?! It's absolutely disgusting!"

"How is it possible? There was a famine in Bingzhou 10 years ago. So many children were emaciated from hunger. Only she, like the sun in the sky, followed her mother and provided porridge to the victims. At that time, I thought, when I grow up, I will give her the best! There is no way she will forget it."

Sheng Jiang felt sick after hearing this and whipped him with a spiked whip. "Ten years ago? She gave out so much porridge, how could she only remember you? Stop flattering me! It's disgusting!"

After thinking about it, he put Lu Wenzhao in a large sack and put two snakes in it. It's so disgusting, so let him keep the snakes and insects company.

So Lu Wenzhao began to receive guests at night and live with snakes and insects during the day.

Oh, yes, how could such a good thing be missing from the prince? Even if you don't like Shen Biting, she is still your wife. Being able to arrange for your wife to have sex with other men is also a talent.

But since it's already been arranged, why not hold a grudge? You want your wife to listen to you and sleep with someone else, and you resent her for being unfaithful and putting you in a bad light. That's simply insane!

So the prince began to entertain guests at night and live with snakes and insects during the day.

After they die, ginger sends their souls to the eighteenth level of hell.

The eldest grandson was very intelligent. By the age of six, he could speak eloquently and even help the old emperor with government affairs.

The time was ripe. The old emperor's health began to decline rapidly, and he passed away in less than half a year.

The ministers supported the emperor's eldest grandson to ascend the throne and honored Shen Biting as the empress dowager.

Shen Biting had learned many good strategies for governing the country during her time in Sheng Jiang's space. The new emperor knew his mother's thoughts and that he wasn't actually of royal blood, so he tactfully decreed that the throne would be abdicated to his mother.

The ministers strongly opposed it and even used foul language. The new emperor was so angry that he ordered the execution of many people who used foul language.

You dare to stop me from being a mama's girl? You're courting death!

That's right, the emperor's eldest grandson was born a girl. But to deceive the public, they declared it a boy. Concealing physical signs is easy for Jiang.

He went to court again, bringing his mother with him, and asked the eunuchs to announce the decree, abdicating the throne.

Shen Biting pretended to refuse three times, but finally sat on the throne.

After that, a series of policies were issued, including the planting of large quantities of crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, and the development of technologies such as gunpowder, cement, and iron smelting. The national strength reached an unprecedented height.

It also stipulated that women could equally attend school and take the imperial examinations, and that women could also file for divorce.

She knew that the changes she had brought about during the decades of her reign might be insignificant, but her descendants and their descendants would definitely see huge changes.

Sure enough, later historical books recorded her great achievements and various political achievements during her reign, calling her a great woman and a wise monarch.
