After the New Year, I lived a quiet time for the time being. Under the instructions of the first emperor, the queen was helped by the third lady and the nine concubines to prepare what the queen should do in mid-spring, personally went to the suburbs to pick mulberry leaves, and taught the folk women to pick mulberry and raise silkworms. Zhao Xiner has a plug-in that is open, and she is also from a professional class, and her acting skills are proficient. She did a great job of performing and was respected by the world. People praised her for her beauty and virtue, sang "Shuoren", and changed the sentence related to her identity and lineage to "The son of King Jing, the wife of the emperor, the mother of the East Palace, the sister of the Marquis of Changxin, and the king of Xiangzi." ", "Shu is iniquity, Shu Shi has mis". There are more good people who are good at poetry who think that changing the words is suspected of being rigid, and picking up people's teeth and wisdom is not enough to show their merits, so they rewrite poems and songs for her, so that the queen is famous and famous, although such poems are impossible for future generations to see.

After the busyness, the daily life is like a white horse, and it is the middle of summer in a blink of an eye. The concubines offered the cocoons of the silkworms raised in the middle of spring, and began to collect the cocoons. The great things that the queen should do have been done, and soon after, Masami decided to go on patrol again. This time, the route is basically the same as last time, starting from Xianyang, taking the straight road, all the way to the coast of the East China Sea, and then along the coastline, to Huiji, and staying in Xiang's family for a while, even if it is to personally send the queen back to Ning. According to folk tradition, three days after the bride gets married, she and the groom go back to her parents' house for one night, which is called "Guining", also called "Huimen". A woman like Zhao Xin'er who marries far away, or who is dedicated to the aristocracy, if it is not for the very loving husband and wife, she may not have the opportunity to return to her parents' home in her life. Now, Zhengshen personally accompanied the empress back to her mother's house with the dignity of the emperor, which was a supreme honor for the Xiang family. In a place like Huiji, which is far away from the capital, there is an excellent queen, and for the locals, it is also invisibly improving their own status.

There are some changes in the entourage. Compared with last time, I brought more female dependents, and the male side is basically the same as last time, only adding some people who have only returned this year and the queen's dowry. The eldest son Fuxu stayed in Xianyang, temporarily acting as an agent for daily affairs, assisted by Shi Mengtian in Zhisu, and all the sons obeyed the orders of the eldest son except for the eighteen sons who accompanied him. Zhengshen asked Fuxu to take the woman and the child to live in the queen's palace temporarily, and was taken care of by Shangqing Luo and Mrs. Qian. Zhao Zheng, Marquis of Changxin, took Ge Tianming, who did not return to Ge Tian's clan for the time being, to live in his home in his fiefdom. The queen mother said that the emperor and the empress were not in the palace, and it was not interesting to live by herself, so she wanted to go to the house of the Marquis of Changxin. Zhengshen let her go, and Zhao Zheng couldn't refuse. Zhou Wangji and Xiang Zi were matched by the emperor and empress, and the Xiang clan was notified to conclude a marriage contract, and this time Wang Ji and Xiang Zi returned to their hometown to hold a wedding together.

The three ladies beside the queen only walked with the pregnant son who entered the palace with the queen. Huaizi is the half-sister of King Chu Huai, and now she is also an old woman, although she can't see signs of aging, but she doesn't have the aura of her youth. She became a goddess of Wushan when she was young and never had a marriage match in her life. King Huai's son, King Xiang, once wanted to pursue her, but she refused on the grounds that she "can't betray the ancestors". So there is a story of "King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no heart", which will be passed down to future generations as a myth. In her old age, she lost the divine power of a goddess and became an ordinary old woman. She couldn't worry that the granddaughter of the king would marry far away, so she took up the quota of young girls with a cheeky face and accompanied Zhao Xin'er into the palace. The emperor asked her to fill the gap of the third lady, because she was the sister of King Huai, and she was a goddess who had broken away from her surname, and called her Huaizi.

The lady Song Concubine after Yu Shun was at her mother's funeral, and the queen asked the emperor to let her go home. She is the daughter of the original Song Kingdom, and she is not too young. It is said that the family found a husband for her, and the marriage was completed after the mother's funeral. When the queen learned about it, she told her to stay at home and not have to go to the palace to serve anymore. The vacant position of the third lady was replaced by Yu Ji, a wife who served the Queen Mother. This Yu Ji was the Duke of Qin Muji, and she also served in the palace for a long time. Originally, the vacancy of the third lady should have been filled by her, but the Queen Mother was like-minded with her and happened to have the same surname, and she hoped that she could always serve the Queen Mother. At that time, there was no queen, and it was also appropriate that the third lady had vacancies, and there should always be some places for the people brought by the newly married queen. This time the queen is on the throne, and after the personnel arrangements are in place, there is a vacancy, and the young woman is overwhelmed by the responsibility, so she can only take the top.

In exchange, the Queen Mother asked the Empress for a concubine to serve her. This lucky woman is called the Infant. She was raised as an orphan by the Xiang family and had a twin brother. They don't know which family they are and they can't be sure of their surnames. only knew that his mother was a concubine, and he didn't even know who his father was. The mother didn't want the child to become an official, so she said that their father was a man from the Xiang family. The man died of illness just a few months before they were born, and the mother died shortly after giving birth to them. This kind of thing that has no proof of death is also very difficult for the government to do.

At that time, Xiang Zi said that he wanted these two children, so the officials decided: the children belonged to the Xiang family, but because the mother was a concubine, the father could not be sure, the children were still subordinate ministers and concubines, and their father, brother or son needed to return the first-class title to redeem one. At that time, Ji's father Xiang Liang happened to have a title, so he recognized them as sons and daughters, returned the two-level titles, and removed them from the status of subordinate ministers and concubines. The brother and sister remembered Xiang Liang's kindness in their hearts, and never dared to treat themselves as Xiang Liang's children, serving Xiang Liang like ministers and concubines. Ji's father really regarded them as his own children, he had never married a wife and had no heirs, and he adopted a pair of children. It's just a concubine, it doesn't matter if you have biological children or not, as long as the bloodline of the concubine continues, it's enough.

When Xiang adopted them, they were just swaddling babies, and the girls were called babies and the boys were called babies. Now the infant is the wife who serves the queen mother, and the baby is the yuan who serves the emperor. As the queen's dowryman, Shu Shiying was valued by the emperor, and ransomed the baby to the queen with a pair of jade bibs, as the emperor's majesty warrior, to pass the word for the emperor and officials. In the past, Qin Mugong ransomed his wife Qin Muji to his wife Qin Muji as a doctor, "Five Doctors" passed on as a good story, and today the first emperor ransomed the queen with a pair of jade to be a warrior of His Majesty, "Your Majesty's Bi" has become a new story, which is widely spread but not to future generations. On this tour, "Your Majesty" naturally followed the emperor, and his sister and infant son also got the permission of the queen mother to follow the queen back to their hometown. The Queen Mother is still taken care of by Mrs. Yu Ji, and she will be replaced when the Queen Mother returns.

The nine concubines, the world wife, the royal wife and other generations also only brought the original ones, and the rest stayed in the palace to temporarily obey the dispatch of Yayu, the wife of the eldest son. Yayu is a Qin person, and her ancestors are nobles of the ancient Ya Kingdom, surnamed Yu, which is pronounced "nothing", so people call her Yayu. At the time of her birth, the person surnamed Yu was already a Qin person, and her customs, clothing and language were different from her ancestors, and she became a complete Qin person. Her mother is a woman surnamed Ying, and she is the wife of her eldest son, so it is only fitting for her to act as the queen's agent.

The affairs related to silk printing and dyeing are in charge of the world woman Ba Qing. She was the widow of Badi, and the people called her Ba Widow Ching. Now she is a woman in the palace, with the name of chastity, and the people in the palace call her "virgin". She was employed by the First Emperor and had some of the resources and technology needed by the Qin Empire, and people respected her, even the Empress loved her. She was the only female official who was not under the authority of the empress, and the only one who lived in the palace all the time and never returned home or traveled with a car.

The wife Meng Jiang is the daughter of Wenxinhou's eldest brother, she has been raised in Wenxinhou's family since she was a child, and she has a deep relationship with Wenxinhou. This time, at the age of 84, Marquis Wenxin insisted on accompanying the emperor to inspect the country, and Meng Jiang was very uneasy. When the queen learned about it, she asked her to accompany her to take care of Wen Xinhou, and she didn't have to come to serve the queen. After all, Wen Xinhou was 84 years old, and no matter how energetic he was, he couldn't walk that far, so he was left halfway when he arrived at Hangu Pass, and Meng Jiang accompanied him to wait in the camp of the Hangu Pass garrison, and his doormen came to pick him up with a cart. After obtaining the consent of the emperor and the empress, Meng Jiang followed his middle father home to marry and no longer entered the palace.

Later, the Empress Dowager knew about Marquis Wenxin's stay in Hanguguan, and asked Zhao Zheng, Marquis of Changxin, to accompany her to pick him up. said that he would not pick it up in person, for fear that this old thing would be lost again, and he should laugh at him when he met, who told him that he was too smart when he was young, and he should make people laugh when he is old. Zhao Zheng also obtained consent through thinking sharing with Zhengshen, prepared a car that could be taken according to the current status of the middle father, and personally accompanied the queen mother to pick up the middle father. Out of the responsibility of the guardian, Zhao Zheng also brought Ge Tianming with him, and the two would still quarrel over all kinds of trivial things, but they would pretend to have a good relationship in front of the Queen Mother. The team set off from the fiefdom of the Marquis of Changxin, and met the disciples who were going to pick up the middle father on the way, and the two teams joined together and marched towards Hangu Pass together. When they really met, the Queen Mother only scolded her middle father for "old things", covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed a few times, personally helped him into the car, and tidied up his clothes for him, so that Meng Jiang could take care of him in the same car, and it seemed that she felt a little sorry for him.

There is also a woman Jing Meng who is the younger sister of Changping Jun, she was born in the Qin State and has never returned to her hometown. Her brother Changpingjun did not take her away when he was welcomed back by the Chu people to be the king of Jing, and could only stay in the Qin palace to live. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the queen also took her back to her hometown to have a look. While passing through the territory of the former Jing Kingdom, the procession stayed for a few days, and the god allowed her to pay tribute to her brother and the soldiers who died in the war. I didn't think I had any feelings for my hometown that I hadn't seen until the moment I stepped on the land of my hometown, and I realized that my hometown would always be my hometown, and it had nothing to do with whether I had lived there or not. Jing Meng's homesickness gushed out, she began to cry, and everyone persuaded her for a long time before she stopped a little. Jing Gong, who returned to her homeland, was like looking for her roots, and she proposed that she wanted to stay in Jing and did not want to return to Xianyang. The empress agreed to her request, and the emperor also gave her the place where her brother Changpingjun lived, and asked the local magistrate to take care of her and find her a good family.

The women from the old aristocracy dispersed one after another, and each had a home. Whether it's a background or a pedigree, some people care and some don't. But the joys and sorrows are always the same. As men, the princes and grandsons put down their former glory and became the subjects of the Qin Empire, and those who could not let go of it were either dead or dormant, maintaining a superficial peace. In this peaceful and prosperous world, who will let go of a good life? National hatred and family hatred are just old thoughts that can't be let go of emotionally, but these thoughts exist in people at the moment, and there is nothing left except pain. is also the grandson of the king, as women, they received their orders safely, but they lived a plain life, and they were not bound by their family and country, they were just women. Women have no country and no home, and this freedom is the envy of men; Men have power and wealth, and how many women are bent over? On the occasion of parting, "send Wang Sun to go again, full of farewell". The servants leave, but the team does not stop there.

Along the way, the emperor and the empress were in different cars, but they just asked Yuanshi to pass the word. According to Qin law, it is illegal to carry a woman in a car as a symbol of status and official position, and only a private car or a women's car can be used to carry a woman. It is also not very reasonable for a man to ride in a women's car. The emperor and empress are exemplary to all the people, and naturally they must abide by the law. The emperor is selfless, and the empress and the female officials in the palace have status, and it is inappropriate for them to share the same car with others. The officials who accompanied the car also had cars with their own identities, and if they needed to communicate on the way, they would ask the ministers to pass on the messages. Everyone sat in their own cars on the way to deal with political affairs, and the emperor was no exception. It was like a mobile office, with the emperor handling local affairs along the way, and the empress settling disputes among women, as well as indoctrining women and imparting skills that were lacking in the region.

On the coast of the East China Sea, the god held a grand sacrifice to worship the moon god Yunzhongjun of Chu on the territory of the Qi State during the reign of Zhou Tianzi. The sacrifice of Chu customs is not used in a full set, and there is no single sacrifice to a god, and there is no beginning and end of the send-off, which makes it difficult to understand why this is done, but no one dares to criticize the emperor's behavior. The sacrificial greetings used the "Yunzhongjun" in the "Nine Songs" of Qu Yuan, the late Chu Sanlu doctor, and the queen put on a costume and accepted the emperor's sacrifice as Yunzhongjun:

"Yulan soup is fragrant, and the clothes are beautiful.

The spirit is curled up, and the rotten is not clear.

Jian will be in the palace of longevity, and the sun and the moon will shine together.

The dragon drove the emperor's clothes, and talked about the Zhou Zhang.

The Spirit Emperor has descended, and he is far away in the clouds.

There is more than enough in Jizhou, and the four seas are poor.

Sifu Jun is too resting, and he is very tired."
