Zhao Shan looked at the charming and emotional Cao Mengchan, teasing him familiarly. This is not the first time that the couple has met, and they are familiar with each other, and the sword was quickly sheathed.
The room echoed with the sound of crying and complaining.
The competition between men and women generally follows the principle that there are only fallen old scalpers and no damaged land.
However, Zhao Shan is extremely talented. After time traveling, his physique is better, he has plenty of energy, and he is full of energy. Even though Cao Mengchan wanted to completely drain Zhao Shan, he finally surrendered under Zhao Shan's stormy offensive.
Conflicts between men and women, no matter what the problem is, everything will be resolved after a hearty battle.
Cao Mengchan's little concern about Xu Yu'er having a child also dissipated, and she looked at Zhao Shan with blurred eyes, only tenderness and sweetness remained in her eyes.
Zhao Shan looked at Cao Mengchan who was taking him seriously and said with a smile: "Mengchan, just let nature take its course."
"No, I'm going to get pregnant."
Cao Mengchan answered firmly.
After a while, Cao Mengchan put on her dress and said softly: "Your Majesty, Sister Xu's identity is very sensitive. What will be done when the child grows up in the future? It will not matter if the child is still young now. When the child grows up, he must have an identity."
Zhao Shan replied: "Yu'er lives outside the palace for the time being, and I will follow her for the time being. When she returns to the palace, she will say that she has adopted a child. In a few years, I will sweep the world and come back to clear my name."
Zhao Shan has a lot of problems in his country.
It is definitely not appropriate to involve Xu Yuer now, as it will easily harm Xu Yuer and her children.
When the world was unified again, Zhao Shan restored the government and established supreme prestige. His personal style was a minor problem.
Cao Mengchan nodded and stopped asking.
She planned to visit Xu Yu'er in person in a few days. After the relationship between the couple recovered, they had a hearty conversation and then had another hard fight late at night before falling asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shan held the court meeting as usual.
This kind of court meeting is not a big court meeting on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. Only a few people attend, and Zhao Shandu handles them one by one.
After Zhao Shan finished his work, he went to the palace to see Jiang Yuhuang. After having a very constructive and layered communication with Jiang Yuhuang, he calmed Jiang Yuhuang's heart.
Jiang Yuhuang was quite accustomed to being in the palace, practicing martial arts when she needed to, and studying when she needed to study.
Zhao Shan had lunch with Jiang Yuhuang and took a nap before returning to the palace. Zhang Xu came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
"pass!"
Zhao Shan gave an order.
After Zhang Xu went to report, Cao Mengchan entered shortly after and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan motioned for Cao Mengchan to sit close to him and said with a smile: "If you have anything to do, just come directly. There is no need to report it."
Cao Mengchan said softly: "Your Majesty, the rules cannot be broken."
Zhao Shan asked: "What's the matter?"
Cao Mengchan looked serious and said: "When I married Your Majesty, my father traveled in Yizhou, but was unable to come back because of the blockade in Yizhou. Today he finally returned to Luoyang. My father entered the palace today and wanted to see Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan said happily: "It's a good thing that my father-in-law is back. I should also meet my father-in-law."
Cao Mengchan's father, Cao An, has been outside.
Zhao Shan only knew that Cao An liked forging, but didn't know much else.
Zhang Xu was ordered to make arrangements. After a while, Cao An entered wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes. Cao An is very tall, with a Chinese-character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and regular facial features, but his temples have already turned gray and he looks a bit old.
Cao Tong has a bookish air, but Cao An has dark skin and thick hands. At first glance, he looks like a powerful man.
Zhao Shan was also surprised.
I didn't expect that my father-in-law, who just likes blacksmithing, would be such a down-to-earth person.
Cao An was neither humble nor arrogant. He saluted and said, "Cao An, a common man, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, there is no need to be polite. If you come, please give me a seat!"
The serving eunuch brought him to the table, but Cao An did not sit down. He took a sword from the eunuch next to him, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the common people forged a sharp sword, which cuts iron like clay, and is dedicated to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan stood up, walked down, and took the sword himself.
He held the sword in his hand. The sword was a bit heavy, but it suited Zhao Shan's strength, which made Zhao Shan quite happy. Zhao Shan held the sword a little harder.
Clang!
The sword blade was unsheathed and the cold light flashed.
Zhao Shan completely unsheathed his sword, and with the sword in his hand, combined with Sen Han's sword light, he actually gained an extra three points of murderous intent.
Cao An explained: "Your Majesty, this sword is four feet six inches long, slightly longer than an ordinary sword. The sword body is also thick and wide, close to the edge of the heavy sword. This kind of sword is more powerful when slashing and sharper at the same time."
Zhao Shan's eyes were bright and he was looking forward to it. He ordered: "Zhang Xu, go get a sword. I want to test the sword."
"As you command!"
After Zhang Xu agreed, he took a sword from the guard's hand, then grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, stretched out the sword blade and let Zhao Shan chop it.
Zhao Shan twisted his waist to exert his strength, then swung his sword and struck down. Sen Han's sword light flickered, and the blade hit the sword in Zhang Xu's hand.
Click!
Zhang Xu's sword broke with a sound.
Zhao Shan took back his sword and observed it carefully. There were no gaps in the sword in his hand, and it was not affected at all. At this moment, Zhao Shan was even more happy, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Cao An was different.
His father-in-law turned out to be a master craftsman.
This is a great thing.
When Cao An saw that the sword he forged was as sharp as clay, his eyes were quite proud, and he introduced: "Your Majesty, this sword has no name yet. Please give it a name."
Zhao Shan looked at the sword in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He said directly: "Since there is no name, let's call it Long Yuan."
Cao An said: "Long Yuan Sword, what a good name!"
Zhao Shan put the sword into its sheath, his eyes fell on Cao An again, and he said with a smile: "My father-in-law is good at forging. This is a good thing for the country and the people."
"If my father-in-law is in charge of the forging, the soldiers in the army will have magic weapons. They will have an advantage when fighting the enemy. Now that my father-in-law has returned to Luoyang, he will stay in the court and serve as the Minister of Industry. What do you think?"
"This this……"
Cao An suddenly stuttered.
Like Cao Tong, he was used to idleness. He didn't like being an official, let alone the intrigues in the officialdom. He just wanted to do things quietly. This time he presented the Longyuan Sword to Zhao Shan because he was thinking of his daughter getting married. As a father, he did not prepare a gift.
So, come and offer the sword in person.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shanlian asked him to serve the whole pot, and Cao An was a little unhappy for a while. Cao An did not answer directly, and quickly cast a look of help at Cao Mengchan, hoping that Cao Mengchan would help persuade him. ,
Cao Mengchan smiled softly and persuaded: "Father, your Majesty has only been on the throne for a short time and is in a very difficult situation, especially since there are not many people around to help you. When my father returns to Luoyang, please stay and help your Majesty."
Cao An's expression froze.
He looked at Cao Mengchan with expectant eyes and felt helpless. The married daughter splashed water and her little cotton-padded jacket leaked, with her elbows turned outward towards Zhao Shan.
