There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 116

Everyone set out for Ming Yue Palace, and Ye Zhizhou followed besides De Gui Jun, frantically flipping through the plot data in his mind.

Ming Yue country's guoshi position was revered. It was said that they could see the fate of the country and had the right to decide who was the rightful heir to the throne. Of course, that was the power of guoshi from long ago. After so many generations of pressure and suppression, by this generation, the power of the guoshi had become a kind of existence similar to a mascot. However, this mascot was born with popular support, so the emperor would not dare to offend him rashly.

The birth of every guoshi was the will of heaven. The baby who was selected as the guoshi would have a bird-shaped birthmark on his buttocks.

Ye Zhizhou's eyes widened. Bird-shaped birthmark? bird-shaped? What bird? It wouldn't be the same as the birthmark on his lover, was it? Did this mean that his lover's identity could very well be the guoshi?

[Asking the host to calm down and focus on the mission.]

He collected his thoughts, quickly gathered up his spiritual power that he'd unconsciously sent out, and smiled soothingly at De Gui Jun who had looked over.

 The position of guoshi was a lifelong one. When the last one died, the next one was born. The newly born guoshi was then sent to the Moon Palace to be cultivated as soon as he was discovered. After reaching the age of 18 and going through a sacrificial ceremony, he would then formally put on the guoshi's robe and meet the common people. So many generations of guoshi of Ming Yue country had followed this way of inheritance, except for one, Rong Guangyan.

It was said in the original plot that the protagonist's father, the guoshi during that time, pretended to be dead and disappeared after sending the protagonist to the Tianshan cult. In other words, in the hearts of the emperor and the common people, the previous guoshi was dead, but in fact, the protagonist's father who pretended to be dead was still missing even at the end of the original plot.

The old guoshi died, but the new one was still not born. The emperor became suspicious, and the common people gradually panicked. Fortunately, before long, Rong Guangyan, who was three years old, was brought over by his family. It was turned out that the birthmark on Rong Guangyan was too shallow. In addition, the guoshi had still been alive, so his family didn't think much of it. Now that the guoshi had died, the birthmark on Rong Guangyan's body suddenly became clear. Only then did the family realize that the child's identity might not be simple, and they quickly brought the child over.

So the emperor was at ease, and the common people were relieved. Rong Guangyan was successfully left on Ming Yue Palace. Because of this issue, the emperor thought that Rong Guangyan was special, so she did not follow the old system and did not wait until he had reached the age of 18 to confer him as guoshi, Instead, after confirming that the birthmark on his body was real, she immediately held a sacrificial ceremony for him and dressed him in the guoshi's robes.

After getting here in the plot data, Ye Zhizhou couldn't help frowning and calculated the ages of the characters on the plot data. The protagonist was already 18 years in the plot data. it was 11 years ago that her father, the guoshi, pretended to die and left. Rong Guangyan entered the Ming Yue Palace when he was three years old... so later in the plot, the protagonist actually took a 14-year-old little *zhengtai into her harem? And the original host was also secretly in love with this little shengtai? What was the matter with the royal daughters? They all liked to gnaw on tender grass? No, the original host was not a royal daughter, he was a son, therefore it was a royal son who secretly loved the little zhengtai...

{*shota/shotacon; a young, cute boy}

His brain couldn't help but produce images that shouldn't be seen by others. He rubbed his arms and pulled his thoughts back. He began to look for traces of Sha Yang in the plot data. The father of the protagonist was the guoshi before the last guoshi, and Rong Guangyan was the current one in the plot data. So this Sha Yang should be the previous one... However, there was a three-year gap between the death of the second to last guoshi and the birth of Rong Guangyan. How did this predecessor, Sha Yang, appear? Why wasn't it mentioned at all in the plot data? What was going on with the gap of three years? Wasn't it when the previous one died, the next one was born?
