Zhao Huaizhong looked at it for a moment, then regretfully took back the bone mirror.
At the end of the afternoon, he arrived at Zhangtai Palace. The concubines were notified in advance and rushed over from their respective palaces. Headed by Queen Jiang Shu, including the female immortals, they gathered at Zhangtai Palace on New Year's Eve to welcome the new year.
Come and greet King Zhuang Xiang and Zhao Ji.
In the hall, four-year-old Zhao Ying, wearing a black floral skirt, widened her eyes curiously and stared at the Prince of Qin, Zhao Ji, who was younger than herself.
Zhao Ji is less than one year old, but he has already learned to walk and eats the food that adults eat. He is a descendant of a saint, but the varieties are different.
He and Zhao Ying looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. After discovering each other, it was like they had discovered a new world.
As a result, the relationship between the two children in the palace, who were both about the same size, quickly heated up.
When eating dumplings, Zhao Ji grabbed a dumpling in one hand, walked to Zhao Ying with the same steps as his father, handed the dumplings out, and stared at the dumplings in front of Zhao Ying.
We are good friends, so it is obvious that we exchange food.
Zhao Ying exchanged dumplings with him with a smile, patted the seat next to her, and Zhao Ji sat down.
The two of them started eating one dumpling after another.
The concubines looked on with great interest.
During the dinner, King Zhuang Xiang quietly asked his son when no one was paying attention: "How is the relationship between your concubines?"
Zhao Huaizhong asked: "What does the father want to say?"
"The concubines live in harmony, how did my son do it?"
King Zhuang Xiang controlled his father's momentum, with a serious expression on his face, as if he was discussing state affairs.
Although he has stepped down from the throne and the concubines have no interests to compete with, some women are naturally fond of fighting. Zhao Ji relies on her son and her position as the leader in the harem is secure, and no one dares to mess with her.
The previous concubines of King Zhuang Xiang, Madam Xiuli, and others were all suppressed by her and could not lift their heads.
Some concubines often came to King Zhuang Xiang to report, which made the old King Qin very distressed.
Seeing that the concubines in Zhao Huaizhong are getting along harmoniously, even the goddess immortal has maintained a plastic friendship with other concubines because she has been asking for help recently.
The five concubines neither fought overtly nor secretly, and lived in harmony. The old King Qin could not help but be envious, and secretly sought advice from his son.
Zhao Huaizhong said bluntly: "I can't help my father with this. It may have something to do with talent."
"talent?"
King Zhuang Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "As a father, I don't ask."
After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was just getting dark.
On New Year's Eve, I will definitely go back to Wuying Palace to live with the Princess.
Separated from the other concubines, Zhao Huaizhong asked Jiang Shu: "Going for a walk outside the palace?"
Being able to leave the palace, Jiang Ji nodded happily.
The two changed into civilian clothes, and, surrounded by Liu Qi, Xin Wu and other guards, they walked out of the south gate of the palace and walked around Xianyang City.
After becoming the Queen of Qin, Zhao Huaizhong did not move around the city for several years.
He looked at Jiang Shu, who was wearing a long black dress and had a stunning face, and suddenly remembered that a few years ago, the two of them had walked together on the street. The time, place and people seemed to overlap.
Years pass by in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Huaizhong's thoughts flashed through his various experiences after arriving in this world.
"Where is the king going?"
Jiang Shu happily followed Zhao Huaizhong. Seeing that he had a clear sense of direction and seemed to have a fixed destination, he asked.
In a short while, Zhao Huaizhong arrived at Ye Yu's Mansion.
There were many generals in the government who knew that Zhao Huaizhong was coming, and they were busy under the leadership of Fan Qingzhou to greet him and perform the ceremony.
Zhao Huaizhong came to take a look and express his condolences to the generals in the palace.

Intercept and teach a certain dojo.
In a large hall inside a cave, Taoist Master Liu Xu was sitting behind a low mat.
He was about fifty years old, with a long and narrow face, a pointed and thin chin, short eyebrows, bright eyes, and a rather large frame. Sitting there he looked very imposing.
Sitting under him were seven or eight masters of different shapes.
In the guest seat on the right, Jing Ke, who had a cold and emotionless face, sat.
Everyone looked serious.
"Master Dao, the demon ruins were driven into the void by the Lord of Great Qin. The sect took the opportunity to attack it. Is there any gain?" asked a middle-aged woman with a plump figure.
"The demonic ruins were pushed to the very depths of the void, and their traces were found using the sky-gazing reflection technique.
The demon clan’s strength has been damaged, but it still cannot be underestimated.”
Liu Xu glanced at the group of Jiejiao experts in front of him: "I've gathered you all today to discuss not the demon clan, but the Qin people."
"When Qin first destroyed Han, our plan was to hope that Qin could grow quickly and fight against the demon clan on the western front.
Qin is an important arrangement and chess piece for our religion to resist the demon clan. But the King of Qin... grew too fast, and even the demon master of the Golden Crow was killed by him. He himself probably didn't know how shocked he was by the killing of the Golden Crow.
This person's actions are truly annoying and hateful.
He killed the Golden Crow and alarmed all parties, but he wants us to calm him down."
"Now, Qin is not only unable to be used by us, but it may also wipe out all the countries in the next few years and establish a unified royal empire.
By then, the situation may be completely out of control."
"We want to cultivate a chess piece, not a powerful king to jump out and fight us. The current power of King Qin Zhao Huaizhong has exceeded expectations."
Liu Xu said: "I have discussed with several other cave masters in the sect. Since the demon clan has been driven into the depths of the void, it will be difficult to interfere with the Central Earth within a few years. It is the right time and priority to take action at this time to contain the Qin people.
thing."
"How?"
"Suppress Qin to balance the power of other countries."
Liu Xu looked around calmly, and his eyes fell on Jing Ke: "You have perfected the non-killing sword. How sure are you if you enter the Qin Dynasty?"
Jing Ke: "If Taoist Master Liu Xu is willing to lend me the Shang Yin Sword to hide his aura and use it with the non-killing swordsmanship, I should be 50% sure."
Liu Xu: "Fifty percent is far from enough. Why don't our two great disciples, Dongtian, join forces to plan and act together? What do you think, Jing Ke?"
"good!"
Jing Ke nodded: "If the Taoist master can also take out the Hunyuan Tiandou, our certainty of success will increase to at least 70%."
Liu Xu pondered for a long time before slowly nodding.

Zhao Huaizhong took Jiang Ji out of Ye Yu Mansion and went to the Yin Yang Academy next door.
When Yue Qingchu, a disciple of Zou Yan, came to Xianyang, he took a fancy to the courtyard next to Ye Yu's Mansion and settled here to spread the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Virtues.
Several years of development, led by Zou Yan's direct disciples Ye Qi and Yue Qing, as well as Zhao Huaizhong's special care.
The Yin-Yang lineage developed extremely well in Qin, and the number of people in the Yin-Yang Academy was also quite prosperous.
After Zou Yan came to Qin, he lived on the top of the highest star-gazing building in the academy.
When Zhao Huaizhong came over, all the disciples from the Academy came out to pay their respects. The crowd was excited and their eyes were full of admiration and excitement from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Shu, accompanied by Ye Qi and Yue Qing, walk up to the Star Observation Tower, many disciples of the Yin Yang School began to talk in a hurry.
Stargazing rooftop.
Zou Yan, dressed in a green robe, stood at the top of the stairs to greet Zhao Huaizhong, who was surrounded by people as he climbed down the stairs.
"Why did King Qin come here at night?" Zou Yan asked happily.
"Come out for a walk and stop by to see Zou Sheng."
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at the pattern on the top of the stargazing building.
Near the window on one side, there is a bronze instrument used to measure the changes of the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. At first glance, it looks like an armillary sphere.
