This incident has a big impact on Meiban himself, but when it comes to influence, it is actually limited. The days are still the same as usual, nothing has changed.

It's just that when I saw Yuan Ziqing, I couldn't help but feel complicated.

Fortunately, he thought that Meibian was in a bad mood these days, so he finally didn't ask, so that Meibian had a chance to breathe.

Then she held this matter in her heart, held it back, and thought of a solution that she didn't know how to evaluate: simply make another one by herself. At that time, Yuan Ziqing's approach will be useless.

To have another one, the first thing is to stop the medicine for Yuan Ziqing. But Meibian doesn't know how long he has been eating, maybe it has been since Xiao Jiu, so now that the medicine has been stopped, maybe it has been affected. Whether they can have children or not is also unknown.

But since Meibian has decided, he has made up his mind to do it.

The first is to stop Yuan Ziqing's medication. She didn't want Yuan Ziqing to know that she knew his secret. It is best to ask a doctor to see you one day when you are unwell, and then you find out that you are pregnant. When the time comes, I really want to know what kind of expression Yuan Ziqing will have!

So this matter can't be exposed now, and it has to be hidden from her.

Meibian planned to replace all the medicines Yuan Ziqing was taking now, and he didn't know it.

So she inevitably went to the doctor again and asked him to help make pills that were similar in color and taste, but had no effect. However, when the doctor heard this, he shook his head again and again, "Medicinal materials naturally have a taste, and if you don't use this flavored medicine, you won't naturally have this taste." If you use medicine, it will definitely damage your body. Madame's request, I forgive you for not agreeing to it. ”

"Isn't there any other way?" frowned, if she couldn't do it, she could only go to a showdown with Yuan Ziqing.

The doctor shook his head decisively.

Gritting his teeth, he wanted to ask elsewhere, but after thinking about it, the doctors only need to prescribe and grab the medicine, the medicinal materials will damage the body, is there a way to change it? If you have to use it, even if it doesn't have the effect of avoiding children, the damage to the body is always there. I simply gave up this method.

Because of this disadvantage, the mood on the side of the eyebrows is not very good. When I came out of the medical hall, I was a little absent-minded and accidentally bumped into a person.

Originally, when she went out on weekdays, someone followed her before and after, and this would not happen. But because he had to come to the hospital, he ordered someone to wait outside, so he couldn't come in time.

The man groaned and staggered a few steps before he stopped, but the thing he was holding in his hand could no longer hold it, and fell down and spilled on the ground.

"My sugar!" The man wailed and quickly squatted down to pick it up. It's just that the sugar is only the size of a soybean, sprinkled on the ground and stained with dust, even if you pick it up, how can you still eat it? The man sighed gloomily, threw down the empty paper bag in his hand, and stood up.

Mei hurriedly arrived, "I'm really sorry to bump into you." I'll accompany you with the money, you can go buy another one. ”

"Where to buy? The peddler walked the streets and alleys, and he didn't know where he was going! The man waved his hand, "That's it, two pennies a pack of sugar is not worth anything." It's also my own carelessness, not just your fault. ”

He nodded his eyebrows, turned around and was about to leave, when he saw the sugar scattered on the ground, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "What kind of sugar is this?" ”

"It's hawthorn candy." The man said casually.

He glanced at him a few more times, and when the people who followed him out caught up, he turned around thoughtfully and walked towards the carriage, and turned back once on the way, with a little thoughtfulness in his eyes.

The appearance of the hawthorn candy looks very similar to the pill Yuan Ziqing took. If it can be replaced-

That's not right either. After all, hawthorn candy is sweet and has no medicinal taste, but the pill is not so sick, and Yuan Ziqing must be able to distinguish it.

However, this gives the eyebrows a direction. If you can disguise the hawthorn candy as the Chinese medicine pill, you can change all the medicine of Yuan Ziqing unconsciously. Thinking that it would not be easy for him to hide from himself, he made a lot of them at once and hid them in porcelain vases. So it takes a long time to change the eyebrows.

In the next period of time, Yuan Ziqing found that he suddenly looked at a medical book on his eyebrows.

He was surprised, "Why did you suddenly remember to look at this?" ”

"It's nothing to do, just think about it." He said, "If you know some medical science, you won't panic if you have anything." ”

Yuan Ziqing said, "But if you want to learn some medical science, you should also read "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", how do you look at this "Shennong's Materia Medica"? "You don't need to pick up medicine and prescribe medicine by yourself, you just want to increase your knowledge, and it's useless to read this.

He said, "Just look at the properties and effects of the medicine." Besides, there are pictures on it, and Xiao Jiu also likes to see it. ”

Of course, this is just an excuse, if you don't read "Materia Medica", how can you know what medicinal herbs are similar to the taste used in Yuan Ziqing? She had already studied it, and the pill was made of honey, so it tasted slightly sweet. However, it still has the unique bitter taste of medicinal herbs. As long as you can find similar herbs to replace them, at least you won't be found when you eat them.

As for the smell of medicine, after the sugar pills are ready, they will be placed together with the medicinal herbs and smoked for ten days and a half months, and there will always be a little bit of that smell. As long as Yuan Ziqing doesn't distinguish carefully, he can't detect it.

It's still not perfect, but it's a good way to think of it.

However, Xiao Jiu followed alongside, and when he encountered a picture he was interested in, he would also explain it to him on the side of his eyebrows. What children learn is nothing more than this little by little accumulation. Yuan Ziqing listened to it for a while, and couldn't help but smile.

It didn't take long for the eyebrows to find a medicine, which was peaceful and tonifying, and it would not be harmful to add it to sugar pills. The things made taste similar to Yuan Ziqing's pills. Moreover, such a small pill does not have to be chewed, it can be taken directly, which is even more difficult to distinguish.

So she successfully stole the three bottles of medicine in Yuan Ziqing's study. Next, just wait to see if God is willing to give this face.

Speaking of this, the eyebrows are not tightly done, Yuan Ziqing did not find her abnormality during this time, it is really her luck. In the past two years, the customs has continued to trade, bringing a steady stream of gold and silver to Dachu, and spreading the prestige of Dachu to overseas places.

At the beginning, of course, it was not that no one had the idea to rob these maritime merchants. But because there was an escort from the imperial court, the other party not only did not get a bargain, but folded himself in.

After so many times, everyone knew that these merchant ships from Dachu were strong. Strength is the most reliable pass, even if it is very difficult to communicate with each other due to the language barrier at the beginning, but the trade is still done in the end. Everyone took out things and exchanged them with each other, which seemed very harmonious.

But this is not always a long-term solution, all under the construction of Zhou Yingyue, all the maritime chambers of commerce have established relatively simple bases in places where there are trade contacts, recruiting people who voluntarily stay there to settle down, learn the local language, and at the same time develop the business of the maritime chamber of commerce.

In the past few years, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce has become more powerful overseas than it has been at home. After all, in China, the people do not fight with the officials, and no matter how much money the maritime chamber of commerce has, it must still be under the control of the imperial court. But going to sea is different. Those places are all small countries, and their forces are very limited, and even the private soldiers organized by the maritime merchants themselves are enough to destroy a country.

Naturally, it was the great Chu He's prestige, which spread all over the world.

At that time, Yuan Ke was in Haizhou, knowing that the power of the maritime merchants was gradually expanding, and he already had a plan to contain them in his heart. It's just that the first emperor promised to hand over the first five years of the customs trade rights to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and he couldn't go back on his word.

But just this year, the customs were finally taken back by the imperial court. So Yuan Ke immediately revealed his plan and inventory: he planned to set up a special fleet in the name of the Great Chu Imperial Court, escort the maritime merchants, and at the same time, promote the national prestige all the way, so that the Fanbang Haiguo knew the existence of the Great Chu Emperor.

This is imperative. Otherwise, after a long time, wouldn't it become independence in disguise if those people only knew that there were Great Chu merchants but did not know that there was a Great Chu court? In case someone is ambitious and doesn't want to be a good citizen in Dachu, but plans to go overseas to be the lord of the country, maybe he will really let him do it.

-- This exaltation is not so much for people overseas to see, but for the sake of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce.

The matter of forming a fleet was handed over to Yuan Ziqing. The reason is also ready-made, when the customs was established, Fuwangfu and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce were jointly responsible, and Fuwangfu was more familiar with this part of the affairs.

Sailing, weather and wind direction are very important, and there are only a few months of the year when it is suitable to go to sea. So in order to hurry up, Yuan Ziqing was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground during this time, and he was anxious, and when he returned home, it was a rare rest time in the day, and he didn't want to use his brain, so he didn't even notice that Meibian was doing so many things behind his back.

Now that his preparations are almost done, he finally has a little free time, and the medicine on his eyebrows has already been changed.

Next, the DPRK and China began to discuss the selection of envoys. Since it is to promote the prestige of the country, of course, it is necessary for a person with a relatively valuable identity who can be suppressed to guess the line. And it's better to still have royal blood. This is the same reason as Yuan Ke, who was still the third prince, going to Haizhou to guard the customs. Otherwise, going to sea with all your might will not show the majesty of the imperial court, especially the royal family.

For the pampered clan, it is necessary to go to sea by boat and go to that barren land overseas - even if there are more and more overseas treasures flowing into Dachu with the sea trade now, many stubborn and conservative people still feel that except for the place where Dachu is, all other places are barren land - and the time to go there will definitely not be short, at least a year and a half, at most three years and five years, how should those days be lived?

So as soon as this matter was discussed, everyone began to blame each other.

Yuan Ke was very disappointed in the vision of these people. Such a person, even if he finally agreed to send an envoy, would he really be able to promote the national prestige of Great Chu? Maybe I can't survive on the ship, and with three long and two short, it's really a shame to be thrown overseas.

So when these people were afraid, Yuan Ke had already denied them all in his heart.

The eldest princess of Qinghe is very positive about this. She can't go because she is a woman, but she has a son! That's the emperor's cousin, speaking of which, he also has half royal blood on his body, and he still has the name of the little county king on his head, so it's okay for him to go on an envoy.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the eldest princess Qinghe has clearly felt the change in her status. Especially after asking for medicine, she became a joke in the clan. So now, pleasing the new emperor and stabilizing his position is the top priority.

However, she has her own heart, her son is indeed pampered, and she doesn't support the oil bottle when it is poured, and when she hears a few overseas stories, she is so frightened that she is so frightened that she scatters, and she starts to burn that night, so she is naturally incompetent.

In the end, Yuan Ke had no choice but to set his eyes on his brothers.

Although he had promised the emperor that he would make the best use of it, how could he really feel at ease to use people who had fought with him for the throne to contact political affairs? Especially when IT has just ascended the throne and has not yet gained a stable foothold.

But that's no longer the case. He has gained a firm foothold and firmly controlled the imperial court, and these princes have all lost their ambitions and are no longer what they were back then. Yuan Ke didn't mind that they were developing their own small forces abroad, and it was more meaningful to send them out than to be trapped in the struggle for power at home.

It's just that Yuan Ke didn't expect that he showed a little bit of this meaning, his brothers seemed to have been frightened, and they only thought that this was another temptation for him, so they firmly refused one by one, which made Yuan Ke's words difficult to speak.

Seeing that the situation had come to this point, Yuan Ziqing stood up gently and skillfully, took the initiative to ask Ying, and went overseas.

Yuan Ke frowned.

In the past few years, as Yuan Ziqing's actions in the court have been one after another, Yuan Ke has to admit that his cousin is a capable person. If I hadn't held back and attacked him back then, I'm afraid it's still a matter of uncertainty who the person sitting in this position is now.

So Yuan Ke still doesn't like Yuan Ziqing. But he also admitted that Yuan Ziqing is indeed capable, and it is very much needed for today's Great Chu. So he would rather be more aggrieved himself, and he didn't do anything to Yuan Ziqing, but gave him a lot of power.

Yuan Ke believes that there is already a subtle tacit understanding between the two, Yuan Ziqing will not cross the line, and the emperor will not touch him.

So at this moment, Yuan Ziqing stood up unexpectedly. - The main reason is that he didn't expect that he couldn't find a single volunteer person!

The emperor has not yet expressed his position, but when he heard that someone was willing to stand up, the ministers and clans already wanted to catch the savior, and they couldn't wait to push Yuan Ziqing out.

This made Yuan Ke suspicious.

Originally, no one wanted to go, and although he was surprised, it was not unacceptable. After all, if you haven't seen this kind of thing, it's impossible to broaden yourself. After this time, there will be people who rush to go in the future.

It's just that now that the situation has changed, he can't help but wonder, could it be Yuan Ziqing who is making some kind of trouble inside?

But what can he do? Even if he is on an envoy, what good will it do him? Can it be compared to calling the wind and rain in the court and holding power?

Yuan Ke was a little undecided for a while.

But as if against him, the news quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone talked about it, as if the candidate had been decided. ――In the eyes of others, no one else wants to go, but King Fu is willing, who else can he be?

This is to share the emperor's worries and solve problems, and the emperor has no reason to be unhappy.

When this matter was reported to King Fu's mansion, his eyebrows were shocked. When Yuan Ziqing came back, he immediately pulled someone and asked, "You want to go to sea?" ”

"It's not me, it's us." Motoko Qingdao.

His eyes widened at the side of his eyebrows, and he pointed at himself with a backhand, as if he was frightened by this statement, and he didn't even dare to speak, but moved his mouth, making a "I" mouth shape, with a questioning face.

It's really interesting for her to watch Yuan Ziqing like this. Since Meibian got married, she has lost the shyness and liveliness of her girlhood, and has become stable and dignified. This is especially true when you have children. At this moment, she suddenly made this expression, and Yuan Ziqing actually felt a little nostalgic in her heart.

"Yes." He nodded affirmatively, "You and I, as well as Xiao Jiu." ”

"Will the emperor allow it?" Eyebrows asked. Since ancient times, when generals go on expeditions, the emperor has to detain his family in the capital to be at ease. Although Yuan Ziqing is not on the expedition, the meaning is almost the same, can the emperor still allow him to take his family with him?

Yuan Ziqing smiled slightly, "It may take three years and five years to go this way, it is impossible for us to be separated for so long, right?" ”

He immediately shook his head. Before she was separated from Yuan Ziqing, the longest time was only a few months. If we can't see each other for three or five years, he is still alone overseas, and he has no news, and he doesn't know what the situation is, I'm afraid he will die of torment.

This is also the reason why Mei Mei didn't believe that Yuan Ziqing would take the initiative to ask Ying.

Now they have concerns, and they are no longer alone, and they can leave.

But listening to Yuan Ziqing's meaning at this time, he not only wanted to go by himself, but also wanted to take his family away. Although he didn't know what method he would use to persuade the emperor, his heart suddenly became excited.

She heard Zhou Yingyue talk about some overseas situations, in her past and present lives, and she also heard a lot of other rumors, not that she didn't yearn for it. It's just that...... She understands very well that with her current status, it is very difficult to leave the capital, and besides, is it to leave Dachu and sail to sea? So this yearning is only secretly hidden in the bottom of my heart.

But I never thought that one day it would be realized.

Just thinking about it is exciting enough.

"Happy?" Yuan Ziqing asked her with a smile.

His eyes widened, and he suddenly realized that he actually knew all the unspoken envy of his own.

But he never said that until today, when he was able to turn this dream into reality, he asked this question. There was so much joy and thought in my heart that I couldn't speak. After a while, he nodded, and his eyes were a little red.

"You don't have to be so ...... for me," she muttered.

Yuan Ziqing raised his hand and patted her on the head, "Stupid words." Actually, it's not just for you, it's just that there is such an opportunity, and it can't be wasted no matter what. ”

"But the family ......" Dad and grandmother are still here, and the two of them just left, is it a little too irresponsible? Besides, if the emperor doesn't agree, will he be angry with others because of this?

Yuan Ziqing said, "I will naturally settle down with the affairs of the family." Don't worry, the emperor won't attack them. ”

There was still some uneasiness in his heart, but soon, more excitement suppressed this uneasiness. Because what Yuan Ziqing decided to do, there was nothing that could not be done. For his husband, he has complete trust in his eyebrows. He said that it would be arranged, so it would naturally be arranged.

She looked at Yuan Ziqing with sparkling eyes, "Have you told others about this?" ”

"Not yet." Yuan Ziqing stroked her face and said very clearly, "If you want to talk to Yingyue, it's fine." Anyway, sooner or later, she had to find out, and she had to ask her for a favor. ”

"What's the busy?"

"It's hard to say at this point, but you'll know then." Yuan Ziqing said with a smile.

Meibian told Zhou Yingyue about this matter, and she was a little embarrassed when she said it. In the past, she envied Zhou Yingyue's freedom to come and go, but now she finally has such an opportunity.

When Zhou Yingyue heard this, she was slightly stunned. Turning his head to see the joy on Meibian's face, he couldn't help but ask, "Meibian, are you very happy?" ”

"Nature." He looked at her with some puzzlement. Isn't it worth rejoicing to be able to leave here and see different worlds and landscapes? And Zhou Yingyue's question is really strange-

But without waiting for more thought, Zhou Yingyue had already nodded and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, it's a matter of seeking benevolence, I want to congratulate you first." ”

"Thank you." Meibian said, "By the way, Ziqing said, I want to ask you for help if I have something." When I asked him, he wouldn't say much. Do you know what's going on? ”

Zhou Yingyue thought for a while before she said, "I know a little bit." But if you want to know, go back and ask him. ”

She only felt foggy on her eyebrows, but she subconsciously knew that this was a very important question, otherwise these two people would not be so vague. It's just that she couldn't figure it out for a while. But the eyebrows are not discouraged, as long as there is a clue, he can always figure out what is going on.

Anyway, there's no hurry.
