Little Lord

"So, Your Highness, you should also consider finding a strong and loyal knight."

Maine didn't know that Jiang Zhuozhuo was considering something that was extremely important to the development of the territory (and could tire them out). Seeing that Jiang Zhuozhuo already understood the importance of obtaining the Mother Goddess's blessing, she told her the most important thing.

Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't expect that Mei Yin was waiting for her here. She said in disbelief, "Am I not a phoenix? Does a phoenix also have to abide by these three rules?"

Maine said, "Originally, it is not necessary. The Phoenix Clan is naturally favored by the Mother Goddess. However, in order to set a good example, our respected Queen has stipulated that if the lord does not give birth to an heir when he first receives the Mother Goddess' blessing, the territory granted to the lord will be taken back."

In other words, if Jiang Zhuozhuo does not have an heir when she turns 100 for the first time, then their territory will be taken back by the empire.

Her Majesty the Queen attaches great importance to offspring.

Not long ago, a princess resorted to trickery in order to reduce her competitors, which angered the queen and she reduced her territory.

Although the seventh princess who was plotted against was sympathetic, she was also deceived. The Queen did not reduce her territory completely at the request of the sages, but she did change her territory from a prosperous area to a remote area...which was the Red Leaf Province next door to them.

It was the first time that Jiang Zhuozhuo heard such royal secrets, and he was very surprised to hear about what had happened to his royal sister.

Could it be that there is also... the Beauty Bird Plan here? !
She wanted to ask her sister in detail how she was framed, but she felt that it was not good to be so active in inquiring about gossip about her own blood relative, so she could only keep the matter in mind for the time being.

Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "But I'm still young! Do I have to think about this at such a young age?"

She felt that she was still a long way from reaching 100 years old, so there was no need to find someone to hatch the baby bird so soon!

Jiang Zhuozhuo said that she was young, and she really felt that she was young. After all, according to her age on Earth, she was not even of legal marriage age if her age was not counted. She was even younger here, and she hadn't been a human for long. Who would rush to get married right after being transformed?
Maine said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? Phoenix chicks stay in their eggs for many years. For example, the Eighth Princess has been in her shell for almost ninety years. If we calculate based on the time it takes to break out of the shell, your Highness doesn't have much time left."

It was precisely because the Eighth Princess had not hatched for a long time, and the Ninth Princess Jiang Zhuozhuo had not transformed into a human for a long time after hatching, that the Queen was so angry about her daughters plotting against her sisters' offspring.

The appearance of two abnormal children indicated that her fertility was almost gone and she could no longer personally continue the bloodline of the Phoenix clan.

If she fails to choose a good enough successor, the peace and stability she has worked hard to maintain for nearly a thousand years will be destroyed.

As an heir, it is not enough to consider whether she herself is outstanding, but also whether the offspring she gives birth to are healthy and intelligent.

Therefore, the Queen required her daughters to give birth to children before their first "hundredth birthday".

According to her own reproductive experience, she chooses the best male and gives birth to children at the best age, which increases the probability of giving birth to excellent offspring.

The further back in time goes, the more likely it is that problematic "bad seeds" will be born. At least these later daughters each had their own problems, and the empress was dissatisfied no matter how she looked at them.

After listening to Maine's detailed story, Jiang Zhuozhuo once again lay flat on his back.

It’s so difficult to be a queen, there are so many things to consider!

You also have to balance the relationships between your daughters and choose the most suitable heir from them!

Fortunately, she doesn’t have to be one!

But the idea of ​​giving birth to a bird cub was still a little hard for her to imagine.

She is a person who can be very clingy if she really wants to get close to others, but the problem is...she rarely gets close to others. For example, Maine was the first person she met after coming here, and he was usually so nice to her, so she regarded Maine as her best friend in her heart.

For someone with her personality, having one best friend is usually enough!

So she has no plans to develop any other intimate relationships.

Forget it, it's not important!
Even if it takes ninety years to hatch the eggs, doesn't that still leave nine full years to waste?

Not in a hurry!
A truly mature procrastinator will put things off until the last minute =v=
Jiang Zhuozhuo made a summary after class. The most important physiological knowledge taught her in this class was this: their Phoenix tribe would only lay one egg every hundred years.

She only needs to pay attention to whether there is any movement after mating with the male bird. She will not ovulate unnecessarily at other times, so... menstruation that comes every month does not exist!!!
There is such a good thing in the world?!

The bird is ecstatic!

You know, even if she doesn't have dysmenorrhea, she will still feel very lethargic during her period and won't have the energy to do anything.

Now, she no longer has this worry!
Maine watched helplessly as the little round bird lying in front of him suddenly stood up again. He had no idea what this little round bird was thinking about every day:)

Thinking of having mentioned the matter of the Seventh Princess to Jiang Zhuozhuo, Maine smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, there is something that you have to do personally, Your Highness."

Jiang Zhuozhuo asked: "What's the matter?"

Maine said, "Didn't I just say that? The Seventh Princess is currently in the Red Leaf Province next door to us. Some of the crops you want are specialties there."

"Since we are going to trade with them, Your Highness, as your sister, it would be best if you could write a letter to her in person and include the gift you want to give to the Seventh Princess. After all, she is your sister who is related by blood."

Maine's meaning was clear: even if there was no emotion, she had to save face. Jiang Zhuozhuo had just been thinking about what happened to her sister, and immediately took the opportunity to ask the question that was lingering in her mind.

Maine thought about it and didn't hide it: "The male bird that married her was sent by the Sixth Princess. He put drugs in her food and drink, so that she couldn't give birth to a child."

"Unfortunately, something went wrong and the Seventh Princess still gave birth to their 'fruit of love'. So..."

"He killed the young birds just as they were about to hatch."

hiss!
Jiang Zhuozhuo was so shocked that he was stunned.

This male bird has been lurking for so many years just to prevent his sister from having children. What kind of spirit does it take?
No wonder the Queen was so furious that she took away the Sixth Princess's territory. She hasn't even touched the throne yet, but she's already so cruel. If she really becomes the Queen, she will definitely kill all her sisters.

Just thinking about this, Jiang Zhuozhuo felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.

She hasn't even achieved her small goal of selling French fries, let alone the grand idea of ​​holding a comic exhibition in another world. She can't get involved in this bloody battle for imperial power!

Anyone who finds out that the husband who had slept with her for so many years was actually loyal to another person, and even killed the child she had been waiting for so long for under the orders of the other person... would go crazy, right?
Jiang Zhuozhuo felt quite sympathetic towards his seventh sister who had failed in both love and career, and did not resist writing a letter to her.

As for gifts…

Pack a portion of delicious braised meat for the other person. If you send it frozen, you can just heat it up and eat it!
According to the feedback from the knights during this period, braised meat can not only improve strength, but also make people more excited and greatly enhance explosive power.

It can be seen that even people who do not participate in training will feel much better after eating braised meat!
Jiang Zhuozhuo didn't write too many words of consolation, and directly turned this private letter into... "Instructions for Heating Braised Meat"!
This is super delicious braised meat, and you must not let the taste be ruined by the wrong heating method.

What a waste! ! !

Maine, who was watching Jiang Zhuozhuo writing a letter, said: ??? ???
It seems that I still need to write an extra letter to contact the Seventh Princess's adjutant directly regarding trade.

……

In the Red Leaf Province, the seventh princess Cynthia was locking herself in her room with the curtains drawn tightly, not allowing any light to come in.

"Your Highness, you should eat something." Her adjutant sighed softly outside the door.

In order to make up for the hole caused by the last conspiracy, they had to impose heavy taxes on the territory. As a result, Cynthia's arrival was not welcomed by any of the people.

The bad words Cynthia heard after arriving in Red Leaf Province made her even more reluctant to go out, and her appetite became worse day by day.

They were all very worried about Cynthia.

I wanted to persuade Cynthia to find another male bird to bear offspring as soon as possible, and quickly forget that treacherous man with ulterior motives, but I didn't know how to persuade her.

Matters like love can never be healed by a few words from others.

At this time, a knight came over and whispered a few words to the female adjutant, who was slightly surprised. Then she asked Cynthia through the thick door: "The Ninth Princess sent someone to purchase some specialties from Hongye Province, and also sent gifts and a handwritten letter to Your Highness. Would Your Highness like to see it?"

Cynthia was a little confused.

Her ninth sister, isn’t that just a small round bird that failed to transform into a human form?

When can I write to someone?
Their mother queen has always been upset about the fact that her younger sister was unable to transform into a human.

Even though she was devastated by the double betrayal of her sister and her lover, Cynthia still felt curious.

She wiped away the tears that had been shed since she came to Hongye Province, and said to her adjutant, "Bring it in."

When she picked up the thin letter, Cynthia was a little surprised by the beautiful handwriting on the envelope.

But for the Phoenix Clan, learning things is extremely easy. This can only prove that her sister has really opened her spiritual awareness.

Cynthia opened the letter with a blank expression, wanting to see if her sister wanted to say some useless words of comfort like her adjutant, but except for the first two greetings, the letter was all about... How to heat braised meat so that the flavor remains the same? !
When she read the last part of the letter, Cynthia couldn't believe her eyes.

I'm already so sad, and you still tell me that if I don't like this gift, please return it the same way it came?!

How poor is your Woye Province, that you have to send such a small gift to me and you want to take it back?
Cynthia stood up and pushed the frozen braised meat in front of her to the adjutant in a menacing manner, saying, "I want to eat it. Have someone heat it up and bring it over! By the way, when heating it, you have to steam it over water, not burn it directly over high heat."

At this moment, Cynthia, who had just lost her love, career and child, had only one thought -

I want to see how good the braised meat you gave me tastes:)
