The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 319: The Eternal Saint
After Jia Rong returned to the Sheng Palace from the Imperial Palace, a group of women in the family knelt to greet him in front of the gate of the Nuanxiang Palace.

"Stand up." Jia Rong had long been tired of these kneeling rituals, but others thought it was the rule.

Without rules, there is no respect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone supported Jia Rong as he walked into Nuanxiang Palace.

It was as warm as summer in Nuanxiang Palace. As soon as Jia Rong entered the room, the two queens took off his clothes and pants for him.

Court robes, trousers, cotton trousers, thermal underwear...

While the women were helping him take off his clothes, Jia Rong placed his hands on the two women's heads, touching their high phoenix hair that was adorned with golden headdresses.

"My beloved concubines, you have worked hard. I will spend the next few days with you before the New Year!"

Even if it is words of concern, when they come out of Jia Rong's mouth, they always give people a feeling of being unserious.

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun and others were used to Jia Rong's attitude.

The attitude is a bit perfunctory and casual, but it can usually be done.

Xue Baochai took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, don't just care about the ladies, but also care about us who only have one child~"

The women nearby all laughed.

Jia Rong said confidently: "No problem! I am the emperor, it is no problem for nine to come in one night!"

Jia Yuanchun turned her head to look at Xue Baochai and reproached her, "The emperor has just traveled a long distance and is tired. How can he be so tired? Don't tire the emperor out. You should all be more sensible."

After being told this by Jia Yuanchun, Xue Baochai nodded awkwardly, "Just a comment."

With the help of the two women, Jia Rong quickly changed into summer shorts and walked towards the warm hall in slippers.

"Actually, what Baochai said is not a problem. I am in very good health. It's just that I don't like to be too busy, so I rarely ask others to accompany me, and I won't play too late."

"Now that I have a successful career, I naturally have more time to enjoy myself."

Seeing that Jia Rong had lost his fighting spirit, Lin Daiyu reminded him, "Your Majesty is only in his thirties, and it is time for him to work hard to govern the country. It is okay for him to have some fun, and everyone should accompany him to have fun, but he should not delay things."

Jia Rong looked nonchalant. After sitting on the sofa, he casually stretched out his hand, and Qin Keqing and You Sanjie took the initiative to come over and sit down.

When Jia Yuanchun saw Jia Rong's expression, she knew that he didn't want to listen to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu also knew this, but she still said stubbornly: "Brother Rong, what did I say wrong?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Sister, please sit down and talk. You all should sit down too."

Jia Rong didn't mean to be angry, but he needed to explain it clearly anyway.

After everyone else sat down, Jia Rong said, "Since ancient times, the Qin Emperor, Han Emperor, and Tang Taizong all became incompetent when they got old. It is better for me to enjoy myself in the harem than to hinder the country."

"You are talking about working hard to govern the country, but that has nothing to do with me. Now the world is at peace and all the foreign races have surrendered. If we continue to fight, we will be enemies all over the world."

"What the country needs now is to increase its population and recuperate. Otherwise, if no one manages the conquered territory, it will be occupied by others sooner or later."

"Everything has to be done slowly. Don't be too impatient. You can't think of flying before you learn to walk."

Jia Rong, who has already built an airplane, advises others to develop slowly.

Lin Daiyu and others nodded after hearing this. At this time, Lin Daiyu also realized that she really shouldn't have persuaded Jia Rong.

"I am sorry for talking too much. The affairs of the court are handled by His Majesty and the court officials. Sisters and sisters in the Holy Palace should just relax and play with Brother Rong!"

Everyone laughed together to ease Lin Daiyu's embarrassment.

Jia Rong was in a pretty good mood and smiling, but suddenly he recalled something.

Is it more important to be a saintly king or to be happy?

Do I need to care so much about reputation?

Jia Rong couldn't help but start thinking about what he had done.

He has always been a person who does not listen to advice but is willing to correct his mistakes.

If you advise him not to do something, he will have to do it.

If he realizes the problem, he won't care about his face at all, and will correct it if he wants to. When Jia Rong was thinking, Wang Xifeng asked curiously: "Your Majesty, what fun things are there in Western countries? What did Your Majesty do after you went there this time?"

Jia Rong quickly introduced what he had seen and heard along the way, mainly some of the things he had learned from his sleeping companions.

After speaking for half an hour, Jia Rong concluded: "The vaccination technology I promoted was secretly learned by those foreigners. When the plague broke out in Spain and Britain this time, many people survived by chance."

"It is also because of my benevolent rule and wisdom that this war ended quickly."

"But I encountered an assassin while I was making a peace treaty!"

Jia Yuanchun was immediately startled, "Assassin?! Is His Majesty okay?"

Third Sister You quickly touched Jia Rong's body and said with a smile: "It must be fine~"

Jia Rong also smiled and said, "It's true that I'm fine. Several assassins wanted to kill me, but fortunately I have been strong since I was young and have quick reactions. I quickly subdued those criminals."

"Those villains who tried to assassinate me have all been killed. There will be no more troubles from now on."

Jia Rong said it very casually.

The assassination attempt only happened that one time, and the rest of the time everything was peaceful.

The war was over, and Jia Rong did not destroy the royal and powerful structures outside of Spain. Instead, he signed a peace treaty to prevent the unification of hundreds of European countries.

Just because Jia Rong is casual doesn't mean that others can be casual too.

Wang Xifeng looked serious and said to Jia Yuanchun and Jia Rong, "There must be rules in the palace. Checks must be made when people are performing formalities and entering and leaving the palace to prevent assassins and unclean people from coming in."

Empress Shengren also nodded in agreement.

"The palace was not clean before, and the Holy Palace is full of women. We have to be strict. Even women need to be checked more often, especially those who serve His Majesty. We can't be too casual."

Jia Rong thought it was unnecessary. "I'm not afraid of these. Come if you want!"

Third Sister You quickly comforted him, saying, "Your Majesty, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark~"

Jia Rong laughed and said, "I am not afraid of hidden arrows! I am even less afraid of open attacks~"

Third Sister You was not able to speak, but Qin Keqing, who was standing next to her, placed her hand directly near Jia Rong's belt.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget how the late emperor died. He was bitten to death by a weak woman. Now, Your Majesty, regardless of anything else, should surround yourself with women who have clean backgrounds and are trustworthy."

Jia Rong thought of the late emperor, and also of the tragic scene in which he was bitten to death by a female assassin.

"That makes sense. We should indeed learn more about it. From now on, women entering the palace must be strictly investigated for three generations!"

"Not just the three generations above, but also the brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts and aunts!"

Jia Yuanchun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have raised quite a few young palace maids in the past few years. After these palace maids learn the rules, they will naturally be able to replace the old palace maids."

Jia Rong looked at Jia Yuanchun, lifted one foot and placed it on Qin Keqing's leg. Qin Keqing, who was wearing a black silk swimsuit, skillfully helped Jia Rong relax his legs and feet.

However, Jia Rong was thinking about serious matters.

"When the old lady was here, she trained many maids, such as Qingwen, Yuanyang, and Xiren. These were all requested by the old lady. Do you also know these?"

Jia Yuanchun smiled and said, "My grandmother and mother taught me all this since I married into the Ning Mansion. Over the years, I have also kept many capable maids. If His Majesty likes them, you can take them to play with."

In fact, there were quite a few of them when they were in Ning Mansion, including some girls who were raised as concubines. However, they were afraid that Jia Rong would affect his reputation if he married too many maids, so they did not dare to let them out.

Later on, I didn't mind these things anymore, but Jia Rong was no longer interested in them.

Jia Rong still didn't care. "No need. In the future, we can choose from the beauties presented by the princes and nobles and foreign countries. We can also take in the maids who were our wet nurses and servants and continue to serve as maids."

Jia Yuanchun nodded and said, "As you wish."

Everyone quickly started eating and talking about some trivial matters.

A group of women were smiling happily.

Supreme power, endless money, rare treasures at your fingertips...there is nothing that can make people afraid or upset nowadays.

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.
