The day after the Lantern Festival ended, Su Ziheng, Zhong Qinghan and others embarked on a sea boat back to Donghai County.

In addition to Zhao Wan'er's family, there are also the current Royal Highness of the Crown Prince Yao Fusu and the Crown Princess Beigongqing.

Although Su Ziheng didn't understand why Yao Fusu insisted on going to Donghai County? It stands to reason that he came to Jiangnan this time to comfort Zhong Qinghan, so after the two met in Jiangning Mansion, they could go back to Chang'an. I can't go to Tokai County at such a dangerous time.

But after all, Yao Fusu is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is above 10,000 people under one person, and the things he decided are naturally not something that Su Ziheng can easily change. In desperation, he had to ask Leng Huo and Tieshan to protect Yao Fusu's safety, otherwise once he had an accident in Donghai County, it was estimated that Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan would have to die in the world, or hide directly on an unknown island in the East China Sea, and they would not be able to show up easily for the rest of their lives.

Beigong Qing was not used to taking a boat, and she was a little seasick not long after she got on the boat, so Yao Fusu had no choice but to accompany her back to the cabin.

Beigong Qing was lying on the bed weakly, Yao Fusu sat on the edge of the bed and gently held her hand, chatting with her, "Qing'er, how are you feeling these days?" ”

Beigong Qing's face was pale, leaning on a soft pillow, and said with a wry smile: "Son, you should also know about the problem of the concubine's seasickness." If it's on calm water, it's fine, but it's because the current on the river is too fast, even if it's a big boat, it's still a little uncomfortable. ”

Yao Fusu looked at her distressedly and comforted: "It's okay, hold on a little longer, I asked Su Ziheng just now, and he said that there is still one day at most to rush to Donghai County, or you can sleep first, if it really doesn't work, just use your true qi and see if you can get rid of seasickness." ”

Unexpectedly, Yao Fusu's suggestion was rejected by Beigong Qing, and a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and she hesitated: "Son, the concubine's menstrual affairs this month did not come on time today, I am worried about ......."

For Beigong Qing, who has been practicing since she was a child, from the time she was fourteen years old, the first movement of the meridians, the beginning of the heavenly decay to the first menarche, the menstrual affairs of each month have been extremely regular, and there has never been a time to arrive early or postpone. But last night she was surprised to find that the menstrual event that was supposed to come on time did not come.

What this meant, she naturally understood in her heart. This made her very nervous in her heart, on the one hand, she hoped that she could get pregnant, but if she was really pregnant, she was a little overwhelmed and scared, just like Ye Gong was a good dragon.

It was her anxiety and inability to get up and down that made her seasickness worse.

Yao Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this, held Beigong Qing's soft hand tightly, and said in surprise: "This is true, if this is the case, it is not in vain to delay time." Just ......"

He paused, hesitating, "But can you be sure?" This is not a trivial matter, once it is determined, we will go back to Chang'an to recuperate and recuperate. ”

After speaking, he sighed again, "It's a pity that you and I are still a few days apart, otherwise Lone can also judge by his own prediction." ”

Beigong Qing slowly shook his head and said: "The concubine is not sure, maybe it is a misjudgment, maybe it will be more certain after a while, if not, find a Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse." ”

Yao Fusu said speechlessly: "You have just conceived, and the fetus in your body has not yet formed, even a divine doctor cannot determine it by diagnosing the pulse, so it is better to wait until you return to Beijing to recruit an imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment." ”

Beigong Qing also smiled shyly, but his right hand was unconsciously quietly placed on his lower abdomen, showing a touch of tenderness on his face.

Yao Fusu leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Qing'er, when you go out, you must control your emotions when you face Su Ziheng, and you must not leak anything in the slightest, otherwise it will not only cause disaster for us, but also for him." ”

Beigong Qing nodded with a fixed expression and said: "The concubine knows that if he is really pregnant, he is also His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will only be His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

……

……

The fleet docked at a temporary wharf in Donghai County, where a stone and cement wharf had been built with Zhao Chengming's support for ships carrying goods and workers from Jiangning Province.

The reason why Zhao Chengming refused to go to Jiangning Mansion to celebrate the New Year with his brother Zhao Chengwen was to stay and test whether the effect of cement was as good as Su Ziheng boasted?

In the process of building the pier, he was surprised to find that it only took a few days to neatly pile up the original unformed gravel and stones, and make them glue together seamlessly, even stronger than the original whole stone.

This allowed Zhao Chengming to find a new direction in his career in an instant, as long as there is enough cement, he can build any majestic city according to his own wishes.

Even if the gambling contract with Su Ziheng has not ended, Zhao Chengming has already made up his mind to stay in Donghai County and be responsible for the construction of the city together. For this reason, he has written to the court and officially resigned.

The fleet stopped at the dock, and Leng Huo had already arranged for the Crow Army to temporarily expel unrelated personnel from the dock, and then reopen after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had settled down.

After getting off the boat, Yao Fusu helped the weak Beigong Qing to step onto the dock. He looked at the sizable dock in front of him in surprise, and there was a hint of wonder in his eyes.

Before deciding to come to Donghai County, he naturally did some research in Donghai County, and clearly knew that there was no such wharf a month ago. Unexpectedly, in less than a month, a wharf with a scale not inferior to the Jiangning Mansion Wharf was built, and looking at this still expanding frame, this Caoyun Wharf in Donghai County is obviously still under construction.

Yao Fusu's eyes were very sharp and he saw Zhao Chengming standing in the crowd, he was naturally no stranger to this former waiter of the Ministry of Works, and he had a lot of dealings with him. In the past, the repair project of the East Palace Prince's Mansion was presided over by Zhao Chengming himself, and he knew that he was very good at engineering construction.

Yao Fusu knew that Zhao Chengming was demoted to Donghai County, and to his surprise, his father gave Donghai County to his sister-in-law Zhong Qinghan as a fiefdom, and the imperial court had already issued an order, and after Zhao Chengming and the Donghai County Lord were handed over, they could return to the capital and transfer to another position.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengming did not return to Beijing, but stayed in Donghai County, and also presided over the construction of the wharf.

If his decision to come to Donghai County was an excuse to delay time, now he is really curious.

As the prince of Great Xia, he will inevitably be in charge of the Great Xia court in the future, and he has also begun to learn how to govern the country and the country since he was a child. It's just that what I learned in the past was the experience of my predecessors, and I didn't actually manage the specific things of a state or a government.

Not to mention a city like Tokai County that was built from scratch. A leopard can be seen in the tube.

Yao Fusu suddenly realized that his trip to Donghai County might add a lot of experience to his future administration of Great Xia.
