After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 146 Consort Yun's aesthetic sense is consistent with that of the Crown Prince.

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

The Eighth Princess was no exception, but she quickly realized what was happening and began to wail loudly, which was quite unseemly.

Consort Yun looked at the old emperor with a mixture of heartache for the child and worry.

Princess Bajie's rudeness will likely leave a bad impression on the old emperor.

The princes and princesses of Da Ye are really down-to-earth.

The old emperor really liked Shen Zhiyi's words: "A little kid should have a bit of a temper."

Consort Yun glanced gratefully at Shen Zhiyi.

If it weren't for Shen Zhiyi's words, the old emperor would definitely have felt some disdain in his heart.

"Consort Yun, if your child doesn't want to get married, please don't force her."

"Your Majesty, your concubine..."

Consort Yun gritted her teeth, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, filled with unspeakable bitterness, which stirred up all the pity in the old emperor's heart.

"Consort Yun, if you encounter any trouble, just tell me."

[What else could it be? Consort Yun has a terminal illness. The imperial physician said she might not have much time left. She only has the Eighth Princess as her child, so naturally she has to think about her child's future.]

Sigh, it seems most of the children in this palace only have mothers and no fathers.

"nonsense!"

Shen Zhiyi was full of questions. Why was the old emperor treating Consort Yun like this?

She took out her notebook and began writing her personal reflections in the daily records.

[On the fourth day, the day of Xin Si, the Emperor inexplicably berated Consort Yun, which may indicate he is suffering from mania.]

The old emperor: ……

It's said that an emperor not reading the daily records of his court is a sign of a wise ruler, but today he really wants to make an exception!

What is this writing? This is clearly slander.

"Mother, how could you keep such a big thing from your daughter?"

The Eighth Princess got up from the ground, stopped crying, and took Yun Pin's hand.

She never expected that her mother, who had always been so accommodating, was so busy trying to marry her off for this reason.

Consort Yun smiled faintly.

"Life and death are predestined and have already been decided. The only thing your mother is worried about now is you."

The Eighth Princess was about to say she would marry him, but when she turned around, she saw the old emperor.

"Mother, Father is here."

Consort Yun smiled but remained silent.

[Hahaha, she's laughing herself rich! Consort Yun clearly thinks the old emperor is unreliable, and it's true, with so many children, he simply can't take care of them all.]

Consort Yun could no longer smile, and there was no need for her to reveal her true feelings.

The old emperor couldn't refute it either. He awkwardly touched the tip of his nose, put his hands behind his back, and told Chen Decai to go and summon the imperial physician.

The Eighth Princess's hopeful gaze instantly dimmed.

Everyone in the palace knows that the Emperor's most beloved child is the Crown Prince.

"Mother, it's not that I don't want to get married, but you can't just marry me off like that. What, the person you've chosen has to be too much, too much."

The Eighth Princess's eyes lit up, and she pointed at Shen Zhiyi, saying, "He'll have to get past Shen Lang first, won't he?"

[Pfft, what's this princess doing? Is she messing with me? Wait, could she be interested in me?]

Shen Zhiyi panicked and ran around frantically.

[Oh no, this is almost certainly true. After all, with my looks, dressing up as a man is quite a challenge. I think I'd be even more handsome than that stingy guy.]

Suppressed laughter came from all around.

The Eighth Princess never expected Shen Zhiyi to think that way.

Her sexual orientation is perfectly normal, how could she possibly like a woman?!

"Hey, you're the one."

As she spoke, the Eighth Princess tugged at the old emperor's sleeve and shook it.

"Father, I don't care. I just want Shen Lang to oversee things. Only if Shen Lang approves will I agree to it."

No, what does this have to do with me?

Consort Yun's eyes lit up.

She was only able to find someone based on her own judgment, and she couldn't be sure whether the other person was good or bad, but Shen Zhiyi was different.

"Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything in my life, but this time..."

Consort Yun was filled with trepidation, after all, Shen Zhiyi was the Emperor's favorite, and her importance was self-evident.

Sending Shen Lang to find a man for her daughter seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.

The old emperor wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Consort Yun was no longer the same person, he couldn't help but sigh and nodded.

"Alright, Shen Zhiyi, I'll give you a task. As long as you find a good family for the Eighth Prince, I will reward you."

[Hey, you're just making empty promises.]

But Shen Zhiyi couldn't refuse.

With a smile, he kowtowed in gratitude for the Emperor's favor.

And so, Shen Zhiyi began arranging blind dates for the Eighth Princess.

“Shen Lang, look, these are all portraits that my mother found for me.”

Shen Zhiyi took it and pretended to look at it.

Wow, these ancient portrait painters were quite skilled; their work is almost like realism.

"This won't do, she's too fat."

【This one won't do either, she's too fat.】

This one still won't do; she's fat, after all.

[...fat.]

[...fat.]

……

Shen Zhiyi had seen all the portraits, and they all returned to the Eighth Princess's side.

"Eighth Princess".

"Eh!"

Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, then swallowed all her words.

[Forget it, let's not talk about it. What if the Eighth Princess's preference is for someone chubby? We have to respect differences in aesthetics.]

[After all, the Crown Prince likes chubby girls, and so does the princess; it's perfectly normal, they're siblings.]

The Eighth Princess said angrily, "These were all chosen by my mother, not by me."

Wait, something's not right. How did she and the Crown Prince become siblings?

Shen Zhiyi, did you drink fake alcohol?!

[Pah! Pah! Pah! He's lost his mind! What siblings? It's all the old emperor's fault! Why did he have so many children? Some of them are even younger than the crown prince!]

but……

"It was chosen by Consort Yun..."

Shen Zhiyi drawled out the tone.

That's really not easy. Did they really find every fat man in the entire capital city?

[Wait a minute, why would the Eighth Princess's mother specifically choose a fat man for her?]

Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up repeatedly; she sensed something amiss.

Could it be that the Eighth Princess isn't actually Consort Yun's biological daughter?

If it weren't for the fact that they could hear Shen Zhiyi's thoughts but couldn't be known by the person in question, the Eighth Princess would have really wanted to spit on that pretty face a few times.

Oh my, it turns out it's their biological child.

Shen Zhiyi was very disappointed.

The weight lifted from the Eighth Princess's heart.

Thank goodness, otherwise her father would have been cuckolded again.

[Then why did Consort Yun only find fat men for her daughter?]

The system quickly displayed a few lines of text.

—What? You discriminate against fat people?

[You stupid system, don't try to pin this on me.]

[Hmph, I was just curious. Besides, a cute, goofy chubby guy is quite likable, but the one Consort Yun found looks like a deadbeat couch potato.]

The Eighth Princess heard some new words, and her curiosity was piqued by Shen Zhiyi.

She picked up the portraits; these people almost all shared several common characteristics.

One is being fat.

The other is ominous.

She instantly understood what her mother meant.

I think chubby people are more caring.

Being a little fierce can protect people.

But he just doesn't fit her aesthetic preferences; she still prefers the type of boyfriend her sixth sister has.
