Chapter 257 Digging a big hole for King Ming

A team of a hundred people set off from Yanjing and headed south in a mighty manner.

Zheyu rode a yellow gelding horse and walked side by side with Qiu Yaji, the leader of the Royal Forest Army.

There were four carriages escorting the team. One was naturally Baicao Shi; the other was Duan Shaoyi and Lv Ge; the last two were pulling gifts from His Majesty, the Queen Mother and Concubine Si.

Baicao Shi took advantage of the extra spacious carriage for one person. She set up a small wooden table inside and set up a grocery stall, which mainly contained two books and the results of her research in the past few days.

One of them is the whole plant with roots, which has a strong aroma. When you smell the fragrance, you feel like you are in a field under the sun.

This is the famous "Linglingxiang".

"Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "After giving birth or after menstruation, grind Tonka into powder and drink two qian of wine, and use one or two qian for sterilization."

In a nutshell, this is a drug to avoid children.

To use it or not to use it? That is the question.

Baicao Shi hesitated for a while, then collected the tonka and put it into the space.

"I've always been lucky. I have a good koi physique, so I won't be able to use it for the time being. I'll keep it."

Among another pile of materia medica, musk is the main one, combined with mugwort, agarwood, and mint. According to the "Shen Nong's Materia Medica": "Musk has a strong and spicy fragrance, and it has the effect of resuscitation, so it is also used for dystocia."

Whether musk can cause infertility is actually controversial in modern times, but traditional Chinese medicine clearly lists it as a drug that is prohibited for pregnant women.

Baicao Shi put these herbs into a sachet and wore it around his waist.

"Back then, Shennong tasted the herbs, and today I am trying the medicine myself. I hope my ancestors won't joke with me. I just don't want the mythical beast for the time being, not forever. Yu Bao's good genes cannot be wasted."

After self-psychological construction, Baicao Shi took out something from the space, a homemade fish maw.

"Haha," Baicao Shi laughed dryly, "What a great invention, but the fishy smell is really unpleasant."

I have to find a way to cover up this smell, but I don't know if Zheha will resist it.

Thinking of this, Baicao Shi was inspired.

The carriage stopped. She quickly put away her treasure, opened the curtain and looked out. "What's going on?"

Zheyu rode over and said to her in a low voice: "The eldest princess is waiting for me in front. It's probably a farewell party. I'll go and come back. You guys need to rest where you are."

Eldest Princess? Why is she looking for Zheyu?

Zheyu drove his horse for a hundred or so meters and saw a temporary shed built on the plains of the official road. Under the shed sat a distinguished woman from the Dayan Kingdom. The guards were all guarding at a long distance.

He dismounted and walked over.

"The eldest princess."

Ying Zhezhe waved and made a "please sit down" gesture, "There is no one here, call me Huang Jie, Ah Xu. It's not like you just answer when grandma calls you; just pretend to be confused when I call you."

Is this to test your identity?

Zheyu sat down on the chair with a calm smile on his face. "Eldest Princess, etiquette must not be broken. I just don't want an old man to be sad, so I don't deny it. She looks... so kind."

Ying Zhezhe didn't seem to hear what he said and poured him a cup of tea. "Ah Xu, I didn't expect that you didn't want to stay in Yanjing and wanted to go back to Wanzhou instead."

"It's Zheyu." Zheyu corrected her and said in a slightly cynical tone, "Wanzhou is a truly gentle and wealthy place to me. I have no nostalgia for Yanjing."

She said these words decisively. Ying Zhezhe stared at him, trying to distinguish the truth and lies in his words. She waved her sleeves lightly, feeling comfortable and said, "Okay, Zheyu, just Zheyu. But you and my brother Ah Xu are not related to each other."

It's so similar. As long as you want to return to Yanjing, Sister Huang will definitely help you with all her strength."

There is no free lunch in this world.

Zheyu smiled and asked: "What are the conditions for the eldest princess to be so loving?"

Ying Zhezhe covered his lips and chuckled, "What terms are there to negotiate between siblings? The Queen Mother values ​​you, and I value you too. You probably also know that my consort is uneducated and idle, and I only look forward to the future.

Life with wealth is just a little longer."

In Da Yan, the status of the consort is actually very low. He has no real power and loses the qualification to be a public official. The most important thing is that the princess and the consort are husband and wife when they sleep in the same bed, but they are monarch and minister on weekdays.

Ying Zhezhe is the eldest princess, and her status is a bit more noble than that of ordinary princesses. She usually lives in her own house, and her husband-in-law has to ask for permission in advance if he wants to see her. However, in her words, her husband-in-law is still a "loafer".

"I see that the eldest princess often comes in and out of the Queen Mother's palace. I think she will be rich and prosperous for a long time." Zheyu did Tai Chi before going back.

That's it for now, it's useless to say any more.

"It's time for me to go back. Ah Xu, please take care of yourself along the way."

Zheyu stood up and walked towards the yellow gelding. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "There is a new sport of ball-thumping in Wanzhou. The grassland is much bigger than the polo field. The last time King Ming went to Wanzhou, he played once and was very impressed by it.

Because you are interested, you have asked me many times about what kind of grass to plant, how to maintain it, and even how to recruit... players. I wonder if the eldest princess is interested in this?"

After saying that, he got on his horse and drove away.

After Zheyu left, Ying Zhezhe was still watching him go, and a tall and mighty man appeared next to her.

"What did his last few words mean?"

Ying Zhezhe looked at the man, his eyebrows softened, "Probably, he is reciprocating my love. You might as well pay more attention to it. In March this year, he will marry Feng Nu. When the time comes, the prophecy..."

If the Phoenix girl is destined to hold the Phoenix Seal, what will the Phoenix girl's husband hold?

There are still many people in this world who don't want to see this scene.

The man sneered and said: "It's bigger than the polo field. How much land does this need to be enclosed? Probably no one in power can tolerate this kind of behavior. This is really a great gift. Zhezhe, you still have the vision to get such a good result.

Useful news."

Ying Zhezhe frowned slightly and said, "I told you that you should still call me Sister Huang outside."

The man didn't take it seriously and said with sweetness in his voice, "I just like to be called Zhezhe. Even calling you Sister Huang makes you look old. You are so bright and young."

Most of his words were so touching that Ying Zhezhe lost most of his annoyance and said, half angry and half angry, "Forget it, you can call me whatever you want, there's no one around here. Go back."

The man walked out a few steps, put on his mask, and pinched Ying Zhezhe's waist just as she was getting into the carriage.

Ying Zhezhe looked back, only to be met with a cold mask. The man shrugged his shoulders, with a carefree look that seemed to say, "What can you do to me?"

**

Zheyu's team continued to move forward.

When they had traveled forty or fifty miles, there was an inn in front of them, and the team took a rest at the inn.

Zhen walked up to the first floor and stuffed a note into Oriha.

Zheyu read the note and walked around to the back of the inn, but it turned out to be Bu Jingwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"What's the purpose of Mr. Bu's coming here?" Zheyu asked directly.

? ? ?Babies, what is Shishi’s new invention? Can you see it?

? If you don’t know how, you can leave a message
