"No gift--"
Concubine Zheng stretched out her hand with a smile, took the tea brought by Li Shu, took a sip gently, then put her hand aside, and pulled Li Shu to her side with a smile.
He casually took off a jade bracelet he was wearing and put it on Li Shu himself.
"Mom, I have nothing to give you. This jade bracelet was my dowry back then. I hope you don't dislike it..."
"Thank you, mother--"
Li Shu thanked Concubine Zheng obediently and snuggled up behind Concubine Zheng. What shocked Zhao Ying was that this guy even took the initiative to massage Concubine Zheng's shoulders with great skill.
Is this still the iceberg girl who looks arrogant and keeps strangers away?
The smile on Concubine Zheng's face gradually spread, and she couldn't stop it, she continued.
"Good boy, really a good boy. From now on, I will go to the palace more often. It just so happens that my eldest mother is bored, so she can have more people to chat with..."
Li Shu responded obediently from behind.
Zhao Ying:......
Li Shu, I didn’t expect you to be like this Li Shu!
"Okay, let the two of them chat here for a while, and you go out for a walk with me..."
Zhao Ying was just complaining in his heart when he saw the First Emperor holding on to the armrest and standing up. He jumped up to the First Emperor in a flash, and with a familiar movement, he calmly held the First Emperor's arm in front of him.
"Father, please slow down..."
Li Shu:......
stunned.
Is my husband also such a loser?
Royal Garden.
At this time, nearly one-third of the area has been transformed into vegetable gardens and farmland. Several crops of leeks have been cut. Although they were planted not long ago, they have already emerged from the ground. The spinach and alfalfa are growing gratifyingly. It is pleasing to the eye.
The most gratifying thing is that the cucumbers planted earlier in the two rows have already climbed halfway up the shelf and are full of fresh and tender yellow flowers. There are even a few half-foot-long florets growing near the roots. melon.
"What do you think of the cucumbers I raised..."
Seeing Zhao Ying keep looking at those few cucumbers, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel good and happily showed off his achievements.
"In a few days, we should be able to...Hey, brat, what do you want to do...Hey, don't..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ying already had a small cucumber in his hand that was as thick as a finger, green in color, and had a small yellow flower on its head. The First Emperor was so angry that he kicked him on the butt.
"You brat, you can't keep fried cakes in the doghouse..."
Zhao Ying chuckled and bowed forward skillfully, avoiding his eldest father's attack. Then, he rubbed the cucumber with his big hand and wiped off the sharp thorns on it.
"Click——"
He broke it in half, turned around and handed it over with a smile.
"Come on, uncle, you, old man, try it first and see how it tastes..."
The First Emperor took it angrily, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. It was crisp and refreshing, and his eyes lit up. He was about to nod, but his expression froze.
"Is this melon poisonous?"
As soon as the First Emperor said this, the palace maids and Hei who were following not far away suddenly changed their expressions and surrounded them with a crash. Before the First Emperor could react, they had already guarded the people in the center.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ying in horror.
Zhao Ying looked at the cucumber in his hand, then at the nervous looking maid and the astonished Hei. He couldn't help laughing, raised the cucumber, stuffed it into his mouth, clicked, clicked, three times five divided by two. Eat it all.
The First Emperor also woke up at this time, and angrily drove away the guards and maids who rushed over.
"roll roll roll--"
Everyone then retreated in confusion. Even so, everyone stared at Zhao Ying warily, fearing that something had gone wrong.
Although the First Emperor insisted that he was fine, he still insisted on calling Xiahou Qi and gave the First Emperor a careful diagnosis and treatment in person. It was clear that he was fine, and this oolong came to an end.
Zhao Ying suddenly remembered the complaint of the last emperor in later generations, saying that when he was emperor, he never had a hot meal.
It's bad, maybe it's true.
"That's how it is when the well-being of everyone around you depends on you alone. If there's any trouble, they'll be more nervous than you -"
The First Emperor shook his head helplessly and did not pursue the matter of his grandson picking his own cucumbers.
"Not easy--"
Zhao Ying said it sincerely.
I don’t know whether he meant that it was not easy for the First Emperor, or that it was not easy for the people who served the First Emperor.
The First Emperor nodded slightly, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Everything he had to bear today would probably be borne by this child in the future.
While thinking about it, he glanced at his eldest grandson with complicated eyes.
As a result, I found this bitch, looking around, his eyes kept wandering to his vegetable garden, and his thoughts were not on him at all! Suddenly I felt annoyed.
"Snapped--"
A slap on the head.
"Don't have any more ideas about my cucumber..."
Zhao Ying:......
It’s a little bit fancy to be able to see the little things that were commonplace in the previous life in this era, but when it comes to eating them, it’s really just that. However, he did not explain, smiled and added.
"I heard from people that this kind of cucumber has an average taste when eaten raw, but if it is seasoned with garlic, stir-fried with eggs, or used to make soup, it will taste pretty good - you might as well give it a try... "
First Emperor:……
This piece of shit about feelings is really thinking about this cucumber thing of mine.
I don't even bother to talk to him!
The saplings planted with columbuses a few days ago have sprouted up. Although there are occasionally a few uneven spots in the middle, the spacing is very fixed and the growth is very gratifying.
The First Emperor sat down on the ridge at the edge of the field without any image, looking at the Shu fields planted by himself, his eyes were somewhat dark.
Zhao Ying also sat down directly next to the First Emperor and waited very patiently.
He knew that when the First Emperor called him out alone, he must have something to ask him alone.
"You were responsible for that Tuyu tribe on the grassland, right - Xiang Yu?"
Although it was a question, his tone was very sure.
Zhao Ying knew that this matter would definitely not be hidden from the First Emperor, so he nodded very simply.
"I once heard someone say that the best way to get rid of weeds in the wilderness is to plant crops on them. Although the Mobei is barren and desolate, over the years, the nomadic tribes living in it have But from time to time we have to invade the border. To this end, we built the Great Wall and deployed heavy troops. Over the years, we have spent countless manpower and material resources..."
Having said this, Zhao Ying subconsciously used his hands to clean up the tiny weeds that had just grown among the bean sprouts.
"I just thought about whether we could do it once and for all - let our people become the masters of that land, and when the time is right, we might even set up a county directly there..."
The First Emperor turned his head and looked at his eldest grandson, who had a childish face but a serious expression. He couldn't help but smile, and he knew he was right.
Choose the most suitable candidate!
"Have you ever thought that Xiang Yu is an old man from Chu, and his ancestor is the mortal enemy of our Qin Dynasty. His eldest father is the general under the command of the King of Chu in the past. If you put him in Mobei, you don't have to worry. One day he will have full wings..."
Having said this, the First Emperor glanced at the emperor's eldest grandson beside him and said calmly.
"When the time comes, I'm afraid the disaster will be more severe than that of the Yueshi, Xiongnu and Donghu..."
When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help laughing and looked at the First Emperor with burning eyes.
"My eldest father, General Wang Ben has an army of 500,000 and is stationed in Beijun. Xin Sheng has an army of 300,000 and is stationed in Longxi. General Meng Tian and General Zhao Tuo also have 500,000 elite Qin troops under their command - you will be worried about them in the future. Japan has evil intentions and has raised an army to rebel..."
Although the two were not the same concept, the First Emperor heard the meaning and confidence in Zhao Ying's words and couldn't help but smile and nod.
"As long as you know what's going on, Father won't interfere -"
Zhao Ying looked at this great father who had unlimited support for him, couldn't help but feel touched, and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry, Dad, if he has ambitions that he shouldn't have, I will personally go to the grassland to teach him how to behave..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ying suddenly changed the subject.
"Ahem - Dad, that's my original weapon. It's not very handy anymore. Please let me know when someone will help me build a new one..."
The First Emperor turned his head and glanced at him in surprise.
"Has your strength increased again?"
Zhao Ying nodded affirmatively.
First Emperor:……
"It turns out that one seems to weigh more than 500 kilograms, right?"
The First Emperor looked at this grandson who smiled playfully in front of him every day like a monster, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
Who in the world can rival this kind of bravery?
I'm afraid it has surpassed our distant ancestors!
However, he warned sternly.
"No matter how high an individual's courage is, it is only the courage of a man. It can defeat a thousand armies. It can govern an army, but it cannot govern a country. The most important thing in governing a country is civil governance - you must not lose the big for the sake of success. The courage of an ordinary man..."
Zhao Ying nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this guy's unkind words, the First Emperor knew that this guy must not have heard what he meant. He slapped him on the back of the head angrily.
"If you want weapons, go find Ou Yeque yourself..."
With the permission of the First Emperor, Zhao Ying couldn't help but be overjoyed. With his status, it was natural for him to want a handy weapon, but the situation was different.
He had to make the weapon as small as possible while ensuring its weight. Therefore, he had to use several precious materials that were available in the warehouse, and they were almost all available at once.
Without the First Emperor's nod, the difficulty level would probably be quite high.
At noon, the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng left a meal.
At the dinner table, Li Shu was full of smiles, well-behaved and sensible, like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, which kept the smiles on the faces of the First Emperor and Concubine Zheng.
Before leaving, Concubine Zheng reluctantly held Li Shu's little hand and warned her again and again.
"Shu'er, after you go back, if this brat dares to bully you, you can go to the palace to find the eldest mother, and the eldest mother will vent your anger..."
Zhao Ying:......
Good guy, if you have a grandson-in-law, your grandson will no longer be yours, right?
When he looked back, he found that his daughter-in-law was looking at him playfully, and he immediately became angry.
That night, I didn't sleep all night!
Even though his body was incredibly strong, he felt a little sleepy when he woke up the next day.
…
When I went out to the palace, I happened to meet Zhang Liang who had just gotten up. Seeing that Zhang Liang was listless and yawning repeatedly, I couldn't help but look at him strangely.
I have a lot of daughters-in-law who are not in good spirits, but you, an older man who has not yet been married, are in a more depressed state of mind than me. It is really too much.
He felt that as a lord, it was necessary to care about the physical and mental health of his subordinates.
"The ovary, the rafts and oars were reduced to ashes, you have to pay attention to restraint in the future..."
He patted Zhang Liang's shoulder sincerely.
"Speaking of which, you have reached the age where you should get married. In the next few days, I will find a marriage for you..."
Zhang Liang stared blankly at His Royal Highness the Emperor's Sun, who was walking away with his hands behind his back. He stayed there for a long time before he realized that the Emperor's Sun was saying that he was weak, and he immediately didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I said in my heart, my frail body is not all because of you, Your Highness!
Since the last interrogation of Zhao Gao, in the past few days, he has carefully checked the details of all the people who have entered the government in recent months. Although some suspicious people have been found, his head is getting bigger after just a little in-depth investigation.
Without saying a word, he burned all the information of these people.
Whoever has a problem, none of these people can have a problem.
But the problem is that apart from these people, he didn't find any clues, just like Zhao Gao made a joke.
But how could Zhao Gao make such a joke?
Therefore, this made his nerves become more and more tense. Especially yesterday, the emperor's eldest grandson got married, and there were many people coming and going in the house. He was even more energetic. He wished he had eyes all over his body and stared at them in person, lest something went wrong.
Fortunately, it passed peacefully.
But where is the danger?
But he didn't dare to relax at all. He had been staring at this matter for the past few days, and he couldn't sleep well night after night. It would be strange if his spirit was better and his body was not weak.
"Cauldron, cauldron, cauldron..."
Zhang Liang was in a trance and didn't notice that a short figure with short legs was rushing towards him. When he saw it, he was already helping him.
Then, boom—
He felt as if he had been hit by a wild boar. He fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
He was completely confused.
The little girl is so big, how can she be so strong?
"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang - I didn't mean it - have you seen my big pot? Where has my big pot gone..."
Zhao Xi seemed to know that he seemed to be in trouble, and for fear of being sued by Mr. Zhang, he apologized with a guilty conscience, and then asked Zhao Ying's whereabouts furiously.
Zhang Liang rubbed his butt and got up with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter-"
Having said this, he looked down curiously at this little young lady who was a bit too strong.
"Young Master, you have so much strength..."
When Zhang Liang asked about this, a trace of panic clearly flashed across Zhao Xi's face. He tugged at Zhang Liang's sleeves somewhat tangledly.
"Mr. Zhang, can you not file a lawsuit against me? My boss won't let me tell others about the little mouse on my body..."
