Zi Shou decided to stir up trouble in the Imperial Harem.
Since Daji had become pregnant earlier, their all-night heart-to-hearts lately had truly been nothing but talking.
Now Daji was in charge of the Women's Federation, and there had been no word from Long Ji. That left just three girls in the Imperial Harem: Queen Jiang, Noble Consort Huang, and Deng Chanyu. No, there was also Consort Yang, whose presence was almost nonexistent.
Picking one out of four was easy, but Zi Shou could make it harder.
What foolish ruler didn't indulge in the pleasures of his harem?
This was simple. All he needed was to stage it properly and let word spread. People loved palace secrets, so they would spread easily. Even if the rumors were false, it didn't matter. Could anyone really come into the Imperial Harem to verify them?
For once, Zi Shou gathered all the consorts and palace maids together.
Alongside the girls appeared a great many lambs.
The Sheep House in the West Garden had been blown up by biogas earlier. The people had been fine, but the sheep were gone. These lambs were all new breeding stock Yang Xian had selected.
Intent on giving his subjects more trouble, Zi Shou had brought this batch of sheep straight into the palace. As for what he intended to do with them...
Let a sheep-drawn carriage choose who received his favor!
Amid the twittering beauties, Zi Shou sat in a little carriage drawn by lambs. The Four-Wheeled Cart was exceptionally steady, and once it had been built, he hadn't thought it was such a big deal.
If the nobles could do business more easily, he could collect taxes more easily. Anyway, after dismantling the Seven Fragrance Chariot, he was surely already hated to the bone by Xiqi.
