In the second year of King Yanxiao, on April 3, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the royal palace.

When Zhou Tianzi Ji Yan sent out the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes of the world to attack Qin together, all countries reacted.

After Qin Wang Yingji got the report from the spy personnel of the Black Ice Terrace, he was very angry.

Holding the spy in his hand, Zhou Tianzi copied the edicts of the kings of various countries, and said to Qin Xiang Fan Ju:

"Xiangguo, look at it, look at it, this Zhou Tianzi really takes himself as a business. The kings of all countries were sent to the Son of Heaven and united the princes to meet with Wang Ji to discuss the attack on Qin. ”

"What else will not destroy the evil Qin, and I will not give up. What is for the sky, there is no way to cut Qin. Bullshit! Now this old man Ji Yan is not small, how dare he issue such an edict? This is not taking my Qin State in your eyes at all! ”

Qin Xiang Fan Ju frowned, a little worried in his heart. said to Yingji: "King, although Zhou Tianzi has long been in name, the princes of all countries no longer take the Zhou family in their eyes. But Zhou Tianzi's issuance of such an edict still has appeal. ”

"The princes of the world, if they are really ordered by the Son of Heaven this time. Once again, I will join forces and attack my Qin State, it can be said that I am famous! Our king must not neglect this. ”

Yingji angrily threw the silk silk in her hand to the ground, stood up, and stepped on it twice.

Said loudly to Fan Ju: "Let them come!" Let them all come! The widow is not afraid. ”

Then he walked to the map in front of the inner wall of the hall, looked at it for a while, and said to Fan Ju:

"Xiangguo, you say, how should I deal with this matter now?"

Fan Ju stepped forward, bowed down to Yingji and said: "King, from the perspective of Weichen, all the princes in the world may not all obey this edict, but I am afraid that this matter will come true!" This matter has to be guarded against by our Qin State. ”

"After the defeat of my army in Handan, there are less than 300,000 elite soldiers left. In addition to the 200,000 elite divisions taken away by Wang Yi and Zhang Tang, there were only nearly 100,000 troops left in Hangu Pass. ”

Yingji thought for a while and said to Fan Ju: "Xiangguo, you can draft an edict and order all the counties and counties of my Qin State to start recruiting troops immediately." All men over the age of 15 and under the age of 50 are required to enlist in the army. ”

Fan Ju was really anxious when he heard this, and immediately said to Yingji: "Your Majesty, no, don't do this!" My Qin Kingdom is about to reach the summer harvest season. Our Qin State has been fighting for many years, and the people's livelihood has long withered. If the summer grain is not harvested due to conscription, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"King, what Weichen means is not not to recruit soldiers, but to recruit less. Our Qin State still has 100,000 troops in Hangu Pass, plus the 200,000 troops led by Wang Yi and Zhang Tang, and the total army of our Qin State is as much as 300,000. ”

"Wechen asked my king to issue an edict to recruit another 100,000 troops in the counties and counties of my Qin State. Such a force is enough to prevent the countries from colluding. In this way, the impact on the summer harvest of our Qin State is also limited. ”

Yingji walked back and forth twice in the hall and said to Fan Ju: "Xiangguo's words are the words of the old man. Xiangguo, you will draft the edict and handle it according to this intention. Ordered the newly recruited soldiers to gather in Xianyang, and then select the outstanding generals of our Qin State to lead them. ”

Seeing Fan Ju's sad face, this was something he had never seen before.

Yingji wanted to inspire Fan Ju and said to him: "Xiangguo, this time Ji Yan'er went to the Son of Heaven, which is the strategy of the Chu State. After the Battle of Handan, the State of Chu saw the death of Wu Anjun of our Qin State, and Zheng Anping surrendered to the State of Zhao, thinking that my Qin State could be bullied. ”

"The iron sword of Chu is sharp, and the singing and dancing skills are clumsy. Chu Guo's iron sword is sharp and brave, and his singing and dancing skills are clumsy and far-reaching. Chu Guochun Shenjun is far-reaching and good at leading troops, and few people think that Chu is going to make up his mind about my Qin State. ”

"I, the Qin State, faced the princes of the Chu State and even the world, if I didn't prepare in advance, I wouldn't be able to cope with the sudden changes. If you don't believe it, the state of Chu can replace my state of Qin and become the lord of the world? ”

Qin Xiang Fan Ju came out of the palace and looked back at the palace, pondering the words of King Qin Yingji in his heart.

suddenly remembered what Wu Anjun Bai Qi said to himself when he was leaving: "Xiangguo, Bai Qi will leave Xianyang immediately." You are wise, do what you want! That's all for Bai Qi. ”

Thinking of this, Fan Ju shook his head lightly and said to himself: "Wu Anjun, you are also a wise man!" It looks like it's time for the rapids to retreat. ”

April 18, Jigong East Palace.

On this day, the thistle is blue and white, and the spring is bright. In the courtyard of the palace where Su Ya lived, it was quiet.

There was just a light rain last night, and there were still traces of water on the paved stone road in the Thistle Palace. The trees and flowers in the courtyard have been moistened by the spring rain, and under the light of the early sun, they look even more lush.

On a bluestone-paved path on the right side of the hall, there was the sound of several people talking.

"Girl, the two sides of the road at the main entrance of the temple have been divided into several flower beds and planted with different varieties of flowers, according to your instructions. In other places, different flowers are also planted. ”

"In addition, in the corners of the courtyard and around the pavilion in the garden, flowers that are not afraid of the cold such as plum are planted, so that in winter, the prince and the people in the palace can enjoy the flowers on snowy days."

"In addition, the prince ordered to plant more trees in the palace courtyard, and I went to ask the chief manager Ji Mao about this. He said that it is better to plant as few trees as possible, and the palace has this particularity, saying that it is for the personal safety of the people in the palace. ”

But Chief Ji Mao said that the prince's words should still be respected. There are only a few gardens in the palace that can be planted with trees. In the courtyards of other palaces, a few are planted. Even if it is planted, it is necessary to choose fruit trees that do not grow tall to plant. ”

On this road, the crown princess Su Ya walked in front, and next to Su Ya's maid Xiaoyun. Now he is reporting to Su Ya about the planting of trees and flowers in the courtyards of the East Palace. Behind the two, there were four palace maids.

Walking into the hall, Su Ya sat down, took a sip of water from the cup on the table in front of her, and said lightly to Xiaoyun:

"Xiaoyun, the palace courtyard of the two side concubines of Zhu and Mei, the varieties of trees and flowers planted should be consistent with those in the courtyard of my palace, and they should not be biased. Also, ask them about their own personal preferences. ”

Xiao Yun stared at Su Ya with big eyes, and said to Su Ya: "Girl, Xiao Yun has already done this according to your instructions, you can rest assured." Girl, I'll tell you! It's really as good as the name suggests. ”

"The bamboo concubine family likes green bamboo, and the flower beds in the yard are all planted with bamboo. Mei Fei likes plum blossoms, so among the flower varieties selected, plum blossom varieties are the majority. ”

Su Ya, who was wearing a pale white dress embroidered with floral patterns, smiled faintly after listening to Xiaoyun's words.

Su Ya's appearance is beautiful and refined, and after becoming the crown princess, she has become a woman, and she has taken off her immature color in the past.

Under her beautiful appearance, her temperament is more peaceful and magnanimous, coupled with her meticulous mind and shrewd means, the entire courtyard of the East Palace, including the waiters and palace maids, are well organized by her, and she is deeply loved by the Queen Ji Zhao.

After marrying Ji Kang, it is not easy to do this in such a short period of time.

"Xiaoyun, since Zhu and Mei have their own preferences, you can just handle it according to their thoughts. In addition, you should also ask the boss more to see what kind of flowers the queen mother likes, and take advantage of this time to handle it together. ”

"No." Xiaoyun agreed with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll go and ask the queen mother in person!"

Su Ya stood up and prepared to walk out of her palace door and go to the place of Queen Ji Zhao.

After walking a few steps, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face was pale, his right hand stroked his stomach, and he retched with a "wow" sound.

Seeing this, Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to support his own girl, and said loudly: "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Are you not feeling well? ”

Then, he turned around and instructed a palace maid beside him: "You hurry up and ask the medical officer to come, the crown princess is a little unwell." ”

Su Ya had a little guess in her heart, but she wasn't sure, so she just nodded and asked the palace maid to go and ask the medical officer to come.

After a while, the palace maid took a medical officer with white hair and beard and entered the palace where Su Ya lived.

This matter has already alarmed Queen Ji Zhao, as well as Qingzhu and Qingmei.

When they heard the news, they all hurried to the palace of Suya.
