"Uncle is going to Loulan in the Western Region with Master Dongjun?"
"What is that place?"
"Thousands of miles?"
"Then we should leave... The master has realized his weakness and returned. He can control the wind with his strength, so he should be able to do it very soon."
"good!"
"good!"
"Yangzi is willing to go!"
I heard my uncle laughing.
Yang Zi was startled at first, and then asked curiously, Loulan in the Western Regions thousands of miles away?
I don’t know much about that place, but my uncle and master are planning to go together to a foreign land?
Although I don't understand.
But... if I want to go, I will leave the palace anyway.
And with my uncle and master by my side, my father will definitely agree.
"The prince is going to Loulan?"
First Emperor Ying Zheng asked lightly, but he had not heard from his younger brother that it should be a private matter.
Loulan?
Among the countries that came to visit from the Western Regions, there was Loulan. The country was not big, with only ten to twenty thousand people and a thousand soldiers.
A very weak small country.
It is even equivalent to a larger county in Da Qin.
"It involves some things in Shushan, so I'm going to take a look."
"With Xuanqing's current level of cultivation, it won't take long."
"If the princess wants to leave the palace, it is also an opportunity."
Zhou Qing said simply.
"What do you think, Li'er?"
With the emperor's younger brother by his side, he didn't need to worry about Yang Zi's safety. Nothing would happen. It would be a good idea to go to Loulan to have a look, which would save him from thinking about sneaking away all day long.
Of course, this matter still needs to be decided by Li Er.
If Li'er doesn't agree, there's nothing she can do.
Yang Zi can’t go away either.
"Mother?"
Yang Zi quickly turned around and took his mother's hand. His cute little face was full of hope. This time, his uncle spoke by himself.
Mother shouldn’t refuse, right?
Probably?
My little heart is also a little uncertain.
"Then...that will trouble the Lord."
The words have already been said for this purpose.
And Xuan Qingzi also meant this.
Gongsun Li combed Yang Zi's hair with one hand and could only nod.
"Thank you mother!"
"Thank you, Father!"
"Thank you uncle!"
Xiaoyangzi is leisurely and overjoyed.
What a surprise.
"Your Majesty, please enter the hall."
Zhou Qing raised his hand and saluted. Why did he stop in the courtyard for so long? The sun above his head was still a bit hot.
"That child...is the reason why the prince doesn't come to the palace often in recent days?"
"Are you Dongjun's disciple?"
Soon, the main hall became lively.
The snacks, fruits, and fruit juices that had been prepared long ago were displayed one by one, and the girl Xi'er also came out and was being held in Dongjun's arms.
He seems to be very happy too.
Ying Zheng looked over and felt that the emperor's brother was living a good life.
Anyway, I feel much more comfortable than myself.
Excellent wine!
Stunning beauty!
Now there is a baby on the side!
…
It's really emotional.
"He is Dongjun's disciple."
"Xuanqing liked it very much, so he kept it in his house."
Looking towards Xi'er, Xi'er's eyes happened to be looking over.
The little guy couldn't help but smile.
"Do you know how the child is doing?"
"Hahaha."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng smiled happily again.
I told the emperor's brother before that he should give birth to an heir earlier, but the emperor's brother was still a little reluctant. Now...it seems that he really wants his heir by his side.
"It's also because Xuan Qing's cultivation has reached this point, and he wants to find a successor disciple."
"When it comes to things like that, they are just words. Rather than passing it on to outsiders' disciples, it is better to pass it on to your own children."
"Xuanqing... I think it makes sense."
Zhou Qing did not deny this.
They both wanted to pass on the inheritance, and also... wanted to fulfill Yun Shu and the others' wishes.
"The princes and princes will have children in the future, and Xianyang will have their glory here."
Ying Zheng said deeply.
The bloodline of the late king was not much in the first place.
Right now, it's just him and his younger brother.
"Yes."
Zhou Qing nodded.
"Mother, I heard Master Dongjun say that there are three iron-eating beasts in my uncle's house?"
"Let's go take a look."
"Ironeater!"
"Yang Zi has only seen it in the catalog in the collection room. It's all black and white, and there is such a strange beast. It's really strange."
On the other side of the hall, Gongsun Lizheng, Bai Qianhong, and Dongjun were chatting with each other.
Yang Zi and Gongzi Gao were also among them.
"Iron-eating beast?"
"The rumored iron-eating beast that was taken by Chi You in ancient times?"
Gongsun Li also had a trace of curiosity on her face. For many years, she had stayed in Xianyang Palace and did nothing.
At least I read a lot of classics in the collection room.
Ironeater has that impression.
"When the princes were in charge of the four counties, there was a message sent to Ba County, and iron-eating beasts came out of the mountains to destroy people's houses and fields."
"Yan Ling took action and captured him."
"Later, the princes gave him medicinal pills to cultivate, but the opportunity was enough, and he developed a lot of spirituality."
Bai Qianhong said slowly.
His Majesty also came today, which was indeed unexpected, but of course... not too surprising.
The prince and your majesty are both heirs of the former prince, and the prince is already very honored and favored. It is not surprising that your majesty came in person.
"Mother!"
Yang Zi continued to urge.
"You're worried. Where are the etiquette I taught you when leaving the palace?"
Gongsun Li raised her hand and tapped Yang Zi.
How come she doesn't have the luxury of a princess at all, but she only knows how to cause trouble and be naughty?
"Hehe, mother."
"This is my uncle's mansion, and my uncle is not an outsider."
Xiao Yangzi defended.
"You, I guess what you said makes sense."
"Then... Miss Bai, please lead the way."
Gongsun Li smiled.
There is really nothing you can do about Yangzi.
"Ma'am, please!"
Bai Qianhong stood up and bowed.
…
…
"I...why do you feel that the dishes at the Duke's Mansion taste better?"
"Could it be that the best chef in Xianyang is in the prince's mansion?"
An hour later.
Delicacies were already laid out in the hall, and all kinds of exquisite food fell on the tripods, on the porcelain plates, on the utensils, and there were a lot of them.
The aroma permeates the entire hall inside and outside.
Ying Zheng tasted the chopsticks and couldn't help but be curious.
"His Majesty."
"To be honest, the best chef in Xianyang City is really in the prince's mansion."
"In recent years, most of the new dishes that your Majesty has tasted are from Xianyang Tiantianju. Shaofu has always been connected with Tiantianju."
"If a new dish appears, the Shaofu will send a chef over to learn it."
"In this case, Your Majesty should know that even if two people practice the same swordsmanship, there will be differences, not to mention the dishes."
"It was natural that it was created there. I think there is something very subtle about learning arts there in the Shaofu."
Gongsun Li was waiting beside Ying Zheng.
I heard that His Majesty was wondering about this... I already knew this, and I had also specifically asked Shang Shifang to let them use the snacks.
Unexpectedly... His Majesty tasted it directly.
"So that's it?"
"No wonder!"
"No wonder."
“Natural home!”
"I've heard about that place for a long time. In recent years, some of the delicacies that have been popular in Xianyang are all made from natural residences."
"Whether it's steamed buns made from grains, or rice milk or cold noodles made from rice."
"There are also various desserts and secret meats."
"I like them all."
"I am the emperor. Due to the requirements of the palace, every piece of food must be inspected many times. Often, by the time it reaches me, the taste has been greatly reduced."
"I even felt a little cold a few times."
"Compared with me, the princes and princes are really... I envy them."
Ying Zheng was stunned.
I have always been busy with political documents, so I don’t really have many requirements for what I eat, as long as it tastes similar.
Even when he leaves the palace, he is always surrounded by specialized personnel dispatched by the young master.
There are really not many delicious food out there.
After listening to Li'er's words and looking at the pile of steaming delicacies in front of him, he sighed once again. As an emperor, his appetite for food and drink may not be as good as that of a minister.
"Your Majesty is the emperor."
"Safety is the most important thing."
Zhou Qing was also helpless about this problem.
Those are rules honed by generations of emperors in life and death. Otherwise...by the time danger comes, it will be too late.
"Maybe this is what Taoism calls yin and yang."
The First Emperor's Sigh of Yingzheng.
"Haha, Your Majesty has a deep understanding of Taoism."
Zhou Qing was delighted.
"Funny Quotes about Counties."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, looked at the delicious food in front of him, and chose his favorite food without being polite.
******
"This is He's Bi!"
"Sir, do you want to carve the emperor's seal for His Majesty?"
Ying Zheng and his family stayed in Zhou Qing's mansion for a long time. Near evening, a grand procession of carriages and horses left Xicheng and returned to Xianyang Palace.
Yun Shu had already sorted out the rewards.
Of course, there is also the most precious one.
Heshibi!
That's not a reward.
His Majesty sent it to the young master to carve the emperor's seal specially.
The emperor's seal is carved with the new characters compiled by the prince, and the emperor's mark is branded.
On the table in the side hall, the Heshi Bi was placed steadily.
The color is unique.
Looking at it from every angle, you have a different feeling.
The spiritual sense enveloped Heshi Bi, but it felt like it was just an ordinary piece of beautiful jade.
The brilliance blooms, the jade is unparalleled, and it has been famous among the Xia for hundreds of years. It has finally found its destination.
Xue'er knelt down in front of the case and carefully looked at the He's Bi in front of her. She really didn't expect that one day she would be able to get up close to such a heirloom treasure.
At that time, this jade belonged to the State of Zhao. King Zhaoxiang of Qin wanted to exchange it for fifteen cities, but King Zhao did not agree.
Perhaps, mixed with some other things, the value is needless to say.
"He's Bi!"
"Sure enough, it was carved into the emperor's seal, and the emperor's seal was engraved on it. It became the emperor's seal passed down to the Qin Dynasty."
"Then...this Emperor's Seal may be as powerful as any Hedao treasure, and you have this thing by your Majesty's side."
"Even those who are at the level of Taoism, such as the princes, will be directly suppressed."
The emperor's seal.
Carrying the destiny of a country, it has its own unique power.
The emperor's authority rests on it, and the power imbued with the emperor's position has its own unique power. The Yin Yang family has a long heritage and has its own secrets.
Concubine Dongjun Yan did not leave today. She looked at the Heshi Bi and said slowly.
With the current power of the Qin Dynasty, the suppression force in Xianyang is extremely strong, and cultivators above the Xuan Pass will be suppressed out of thin air.
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the suppression.
If there is hostility towards the emperor, the suppression will be even stronger.
Holding Xi'er in her arms, Concubine Dongjun Yan spoke with a hint of expectation. Over the past three generations, the territory of the country has been very different. Although he is the emperor, he is actually a great prince.
It is incomparable to the prosperity of Da Qin today.
The prosperity of the Qin Dynasty has surpassed three generations by an unknown amount, and the same is true for the country's power. Sure enough, if the emperor's seal falls, it will really become a national treasure.
In particular, Da Qin's prefectures and counties were integrated into one, which had extremely strong control over the Xia.
