Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 131.1 - Rebirth of the Black Lotus (s)

Mu Qingrong was going crazy when everyone looked like they were saying, ‘I didn’t expect you to be so unpleasant’, but she couldn’t say a word against it.

The people standing in the hall right now; The one who had asserted the Third Eye was Master Yuan Tong, the one who had the Third Eye was Prince Linjiang, and the ones who were looking at her with disgust were the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the two Princes.

Regardless of how one looked at it, Mu Qingrong had no right to be angry.

Looking at the stunning beauty whose face looked pale, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Anqing miraculously lost their previous anger.

They were pleased with Mu Qingrong’s initiative to stay out of the palace, knowing that she was a woman with a good face but an ugly soul.

After all, a woman of such poor character was bound to do something shady in the palace.

At least she was the daughter of a Marquis, so the Empress Dowager couldn’t blame her too harshly for her poor character and only sent her out of the palace, while the Emperor secretly kept Mu Qingrong’s name in mind.

As the Emperor, he would occasionally bestow marriages on members of the Imperial family, so if he were to let Mu Qingrong marry one day, wouldn’t that be a disaster for his relatives?

But when he thought about it, he wouldn’t have given such a damaged-looking woman to the Imperial family, even if he had forgotten her name.

As Mu Qingrong, an outsider, withdrew, Master Yuan Tong, who had been meditating in his heart, naturally suggested to the Emperor, “Take your time as a family, I’ll retreat as an outsider”.

The Emperor didn’t want to let him go, his brother hadn’t told him exactly what was going on with the Third Eye. He also wanted to ask why he had gotten it, what it was for, whether it would stay that way in the future, whether it was harmful to his body, whether it was harmful to his soul, and so on and so forth.

Not wanting to worry his mother or frighten his younger brother, the Emperor smilingly pulled Master Yuan Tong into the main hall to talk about Buddhism.

Lin Chuanwang was very aware of the situation. Although he had been raised by the Empress Dowager for several years, he knew in her heart that he was no match for her biological son, not to mention the fact that the guy had opened his Third Eye. So, he waited until the Emperor and Master Yuan Tong had left, and then he also left.

When only the Empress Dowager, an elder, was left, she immediately went to her son’s side, unable to hide her concern, “How did you come to have such a condition? “

Lin Shiheng smiled and reassured her, “Don’t say that, Empress Mother. Didn’t the master say that to open a Third Eye is to have a connection with Buddha? Perhaps this son was a golden boy under Buddha in my previous life, and because he saw that Empress Mother was born with the grace of kindness, he allowed this son to be reincarnated in your belly.”

The Empress Dowager was coaxed into smiling by her son, “You child, is Buddha something you can tease about? Stop talking.”

“This son wasn’t trying to tease, I’m telling the truth.”

Lin Shiheng came up to Empress Dowager and looked at her with a smile, “Look, Mother, don’t I deserve to be a golden boy?”

When he said that, Empress Dowager took a closer look and actually saw some resemblance to Buddha.

Her youngest son had always been blessed with good looks, handsome eyebrows, fair as jade, and a smile on his face that could melt one’s heart. In the past, he loved to tease young girls and had a poor sense of propriety. But now, with this smile of pure benevolence, he really resembled the golden boy under the Buddha’s tutelage.

“Don’t coax your mother. You were born into a wealthy family, you have no illnesses or misfortunes, and you have a brother as good as your Emperor Brother. What sort of good reason is there for you to open Third Eye?”

“It’s not a bad thing to have a Third Eye opened. I think it’s a good thing. In the future, if your mother can’t tell the difference between loyalty and treachery, you can let me use the Third Eye to take a look at them. Won’t that save a lot of effort?”

The Empress Dowager paused, Indeed.

When she was Empress, the harem concubines who had sons fought to the death for the throne. A miscarriage today, a disfigurement tomorrow. The Empress Dowager could only survive so far because she had stability and a reliable son.

But even so, at that time, there was no shortage of betrayals by the palace servants around her. It was only when her son became Emperor and she became Empress Dowager that she finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not have to be constantly vigilant about people trying to hide in the shadows to plot against her.

It was quite relaxed nowadays, but since her youngest son had this Third Eye, it was worth checking.

The Empress Dowager was successfully brainwashed. She called the palace maids from her own palace to come and stand one by one in the courtyard for her youngest son to see.

Prince Linjiang looked at them carefully, and his brow slightly furrowed.

The Empress Dowager had been watching her son’s movements, and when she saw him frowning, she immediately asked with nervousness, “How is it? Is there something wrong?”

“Ah Mother, how come everyone in this palace of yours is so ugly?”

Lin Shiheng critiqued them one by one with utmost disgust.

“Her eyes are dull, is this looking at me or at the sky?”

“Her eyes are too bright, it’s creepy to look at.”

“Her complexion is dark and sunken, I’m afraid you haven’t been in the sun much.”

“Yo, this one is white, but unfortunately she’s too white and doesn’t look like she has any semblance of color.”

“Her mouth is too thin and not blessed enough to look at.”

“You have thick lips, it’s just too thick.”

“Her feet are too big.”

“Isn’t it uncomfortable to walk with such tiny feet?”

The girls, who were in the prime of their youth, thought that the Empress Dowager had asked Prince Linjiang to come and see them in order to choose one for him to take back to serve him. They bowed their heads in shame and indignation as they were criticized.

By the time Lin Shiheng had made his way to the back of the line, none of the palace maids were holding their heads up.

There were many people serving in the Empress Dowager’s bedchamber and it was a big job. However, Lin Shiheng didn’t find it hard at all and criticised the people one by one, without changing a word in his mouth even once.

In the end, only five palace maids weren’t attacked with venom but were picked up and brought before the Empress Dowager.

Lin Shiheng smugly announced, “Mother, these are the beauties this son has chosen.”

The Empress Dowager had long been stunned by her youngest son’s almost crushing criticism.

She had known for a long time that Shiheng was spoiled and grew up loving beauty. Even when he had left the palace, he spent his days fooling around with Lin Chuanwang.

It was only because her eldest son had been studying hard during his struggle for the throne and had never relaxed even after becoming Emperor, causing his health to deteriorate, the Empress Dowager had never been able to demand too much of her youngest son.

Too tired to study? Then don’t study.

Not wanting to progress, then don’t. He was a Prince now, what’s the point of progressing upwards?

Want to play with women?

Not allowed! Not allowed! Not allowed!!

The Emperor had just turned 10 and the Empress Dowager’s rival sent a vixen maid to the palace, causing the Emperor to almost collapse in bed because of the palace maid. Although the Empress Dowager later brought the culprit to justice and took the opportunity to have the rival sent to the cold palace, the Emperor’s body suffered a deficiency.

He was so old, and there was still no news from the harem, not even a single pregnant woman. It was hard for the Empress Dowager not to associate this with the fact that it was because the Emperor had been led astray and spoiled his body.

When it came to her youngest son, he could indulge in other things. However, in this matter alone, she kept the door firmly shut so that he wouldn’t become like his brother and deteriorate prematurely, making it difficult for him to even have an heir.

Because of Empress Dowager’s firm attitude, although Prince Linjiang had been a flirt since childhood, at least he didn’t extend his clutches to the palace maids next to him. However, perhaps because he couldn’t eat what he saw, Prince Linjiang had always been highly discerning.

The Empress Dowager had always felt that this was fine, as the Imperial family had a high standard.

But only today did she realize just how discerning her son really was.

Because the Empress Dowager was also a beauty lover, the palace maids in her palace, even if they weren’t all stunningly beautiful, were mostly delicate and charming, and individually they were all aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

When it came to Lin Shiheng’s words, they were full of flaws, not good here and not good there.

A delicate and beautiful woman was described as ugly by him.

Let’s not mention how big the mental impact on the people being called ugly for no reason should be, even the Empress Dowager got a considerable shock.

Previously, the master said that her son’s Third Eye saw the character of the person, and now Shiheng said that there were ugly women in her palace. Didn’t that mean that the palace was full of people with poor character?

It wasn’t impossible.
