The fact that Princess Nansu was pregnant was hidden, but Yingzheng didn't dare not report it to Huayang Palace.

Mrs. Huayang couldn't be happier, she stroked Princess Nansu's hand, refused to let go, and asked for warmth, and couldn't close her mouth happily.

Mrs. Xia was also on the side, and her soft gaze was inseparable from Princess Nansu.

Princess Nansu's face was delicately red, her eyes were slightly evasive, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

Zhao Gao leaned over and walked in from outside the door, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Lu Xiangbang, please see you." ”

Ying Zheng looked at Mrs. Huayang and said, "Presumably, the middle father is here to say goodbye." ”

Mrs. Huayang nodded and said to Zhao Gao, "Let him come in." ”

Zhao Gao responded, leaned over and stepped back.

After a while, with a loud laugh, Lü Buwei stepped into the door: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the queen mother." ”

Mrs. Huayang raised her hand and said with a smile: "Xiangbang is polite." ”

Lu Buwei saluted Mrs. Huayang, Mrs. Xia, and Yingzheng respectively, and nodded to Princess Nansu: "Congratulations to Princess Nansu." ”

Princess Nansu's already ruddy face became even more shy, and she returned the salute: "Nansu thanked Lu Xiangbang. ”

Lü Buwei took out a brocade box from his bosom, opened it, and took out a piece of jade from it, which looked like it was refined by high-grade jade.

"This is a little bit of the minister's heart, please smile at the princess." Lü Buwei handed the jade pendant to Princess Nansu.

Princess Nansu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "How can this be done." ”

Lu Buwei laughed: "The old minister is the king's middle father, the princess conceived, but the grandson of the old minister, this jade pendant should be given by the old minister to the future grandson." ”

Mrs. Huayang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Nansu, you can accept it." ”

Only then did Princess Nansu salute: "Then Nansu thanked Lu Xiangbang." Then he reached out and took the jade pendant.

Lu Buwei joked with a smile: "Why is the princess still so angry." ”

Ying Zheng took over the conversation on the side: "It should be called the middle father." ”

Princess Nansu said with some embarrassment: "Xie, Father Xie Zhong." ”

The crowd laughed.

After sitting down, Lü Buwei said: "Speaking of gifts, the old minister remembered that the national gifts that the king ordered the old ministers to prepare for various countries have basically been on the road, and they have all made full preparations, and they will not be easily broken." These national gifts are really outstanding. ”

When it comes to porcelain, Lü Buwei still relish it.

Mrs. Huayang asked: "What does Xiangbang mean, is this national gift different from the past?" ”

Lu Buwei asked with some doubts: "Could it be that the Queen Mother still doesn't know about this?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "Grandmother Wang really doesn't know, because the widow wants to surprise the palace, so the matter about porcelain has not been announced in the palace." ”

"Porcelain?" Mrs. Huayang asked, "What's that?" ”

Ying Zheng explained: "Porcelain is a much more exquisite utensil than pottery, and it is the method obtained in an ancient tomb when the widow was held hostage. ”

This statement was thought of by Yingzheng a long time ago, and he also said this to Lu Buwei before.

Mrs. Huayang's eyes lit up and asked, "How exquisite is that?" ”

Of course, Princess Nansu had seen the porcelain in Yingzheng's bedroom, and said beside her: "Those porcelains are indeed very exquisite." ”

Looking at Princess Nansu's expression, Mrs. Huayang became more and more interested, but she also said angrily: "Nansu, you have already seen it?" ”

Ying Zheng hurriedly came out of the round: "The widow didn't let her say it, in fact, it's time to change some objects for the palace." ”

"Isn't the king going to buy some porcelain for the palace?" Mrs. Huayang asked.

"Not bad." Ying Zheng nodded, turned back to Zhao Gao and said, "Zhao Gao, pass on the widow's order, take all the existing porcelain in Jingyao to the palace and the ancient Cheng Palace, and fill in the color for the widow's wedding." ”

"Honor the king's orders." Zhao Gao responded, and then exited the palace gate.

Now that the ancient Cheng Palace has been built, Ying Zheng is trying to add some porcelain, but if it is only used for the Gu Cheng Palace, but not for the palace, after all, it is not appropriate, just take this opportunity to arrange the two palaces.

Hearing Yingzheng say this, Mrs. Huayang regained her joy: "Nansu, tell your grandmother what that porcelain looks like." ”

"Yes, grandmother." Princess Nansu imagined the appearance of the porcelain she had seen, and painted it with beautiful rhetoric.

Lü Buwei also added it from time to time, and his praise was overflowing.

Mrs. Xia nodded again and again when she heard this, and even Mrs. Huayang, who was used to seeing treasures, was amazed.

After talking for a while, two palace maids walked in outside the door, each holding a box in their hands.

"Queen Mother, what is in this box is porcelain, which was sent by Chief Manager Zhao." One of the palace maids said.

It turned out that before Zhao Gao went to Jingyao, he specially arranged for these two palace maids to send some porcelain from Yingzheng's study to Huayang Palace.

"Oh?" Mrs. Huayang got up and said, "Open it and take a look." ”

When the box opens, you can see different styles of porcelain, porcelain bowls, porcelain spoons, porcelain cups, porcelain plates, and porcelain vases.

As expected, Mrs. Huayang looked at it as carefully as she did, and admired it again and again, which was very similar to the state of Lü Buwei when he first saw porcelain.

However, now it is displayed in Huayang Palace, but it is much more exquisite than the original porcelain, no need to ask, the skills of Jingyao have been improved.

"Grandmother Wang, these are from the widow's study, so let's decorate this place first." After that, Ying Zheng ordered the palace maid to put these porcelains away, and Princess Nansu also went to help.

Lü Buwei said: "It can be seen that the Queen Mother likes these porcelains very much, and the old minister suggested that the craftsmen of the Jingyao be rewarded and ordered to improve the style for the king's wedding." ”

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Huayang said, "This craftsman who makes porcelain should be rewarded, and some more silver taels should be allocated for the king's wedding." ”

"Then leave this matter to the old minister." Lu Buwei said.

"There is Lao Zhong's father." Ying Zheng said.

If Lü Buwei allocates silver taels, Jingyao will definitely have more sufficient funds, after all, a large number of flying crossbows and "my instruments" will be produced in the future, and money will be needed, so Ying Zheng is secretly happy in his heart.

"By the way, Your Majesty." Lü Buwei turned to say, "Tomorrow, Yingcheng Taishou Li Xin will return to Xianyang, the king was quite concerned about the bandits there before, and the old minister hereby orders him to return to Xianyang in advance." ”

"Then tomorrow, let Li Xin come to see the widow." Ying Zheng said.

After a few official words, a few people chatted again, and Mrs. Huayang mentioned Gucheng Palace, mentioned the princesses and envoys of various countries, and looked at the porcelain that had just been placed from time to time, with a satisfied smile in her eyes.

That night, Mrs. Huayang left Princess Nansu in Huayang Palace, and Princess Hu Yu stayed with Mrs. Xia, and Yingzheng finally became free and hid in the inner room of the study to read the last "Book of Changes".

Ying Zheng read it and memorized it in his heart, and copied every word. Then, he took out Jiuding's rubbing and oracle bone inscriptions, and made up the incomplete parts.

On the second day, Lü Buwei came to visit him again.

"Your Majesty, the money and silver allocated to Jingyao have already been allocated." Lü Buwei said, "The old minister also deliberately allocated more, and also gave the part of making 'my utensils'." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "There is Lao Zhong's father." ”

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the old minister is also a little strange, the king has recently found a flying crossbow and 'my vessel', and also made porcelain and that kind of magical paint, the old minister also heard that the king also sent people to cultivate some strange grain seeds, could it be that these are all obtained from that tomb?" ”

Ying Zheng chuckled in his heart, as if Lu Buwei had finally noticed something strange and came here to interrogate.

Although Ying Zheng was a little nervous in his heart, he remained calm on the surface: "The middle father really has a keen sense of smell, and he can't hide anything from the middle father." ”

After that, Ying Zheng took out a box and opened the box, and there was a black iron snail inside.

"Actually, what the widow found was just this dark iron snail." Ying Zheng said.

"Darkiron snails?" Lu Buwei picked up the dark iron snail and looked at it carefully.

"Not bad." Ying Zheng said, "Father Zhong, don't underestimate this dark iron snail, it is all because of it that the widow was able to enter the tomb of King Nawu." ”

"Tomb of King Wu?" Lu Buwei was surprised, "Could it be that this Xuantie snail is the key to entering the Martial King Mausoleum?" ”

Ying Zheng nodded and continued: "Presumably Father Zhong must know that for many years, the people of Great Qin have never really entered the Mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou. ”

Lü Buwei exhaled and said: "Yes, the Mausoleum of King Wu is the ancestral tomb of the Great Zhou, and it is also built extremely strong, it has been unbreakable for thousands of years, and there must be a lot of treasures left in it, but the ancestors of the Great Qin have never refused to use external forces to destroy it in order to enter the royal tomb." ”

The tomb of King Wu of Zhou is located in the Qin State, if it is destroyed by the Qin State, even if the Zhou royal family does not ask, it will inevitably attract the dissatisfaction of the countries, so for hundreds of years, the Qin State has never coveted it.

Ying Zheng pretended to be excited, and said: "The widow accidentally found this dark iron snail and how to use it, so he entered the Tomb of King Wu, and sure enough, there are really a lot of good things in it." There are ways to make flying crossbows, scrolls that record the miraculous paint, and animal bones that record divine weapons. ”

"Hahaha......" Lu Buwei laughed and said, "The king got so many strange treasures by chance, it is really a blessing for the king, and a blessing for Great Qin!" ”

"yes!" Ying Zheng also became more and more energetic the more he spoke, "Let's just say that the porcelain, although it was made by Jing Yao by mistake, but its diplomatic value is not ordinary, and the magical paint is more useful, it is painted on the arrow of the flying crossbow, but the arrow is sharper, and never rusts, according to Jing Fan's judgment, the Jiuding may be smeared with this paint." ”

"Oh?" Lu Buwei frowned, "If that's the case, it's really not impossible." ”

Ying Zheng said solemnly: "The widow also thinks that this possibility is quite large, so let's try it with a few ordinary tripods." ”

"What the king said is good, you should give it a try." Lu Buwei smiled and said, but the smile was not pretentious.

"On this trip, the widow used the tortoiseshell beast bone map to find the location of the 'measur'." Ying Zheng said.

Lu Buwei nodded: "These things found by the king are really infinitely useful." ”

"It's better to take the middle father to another day, maybe there will be other discoveries besides those terracotta warriors." Ying Zheng said.

"Terracotta?" Lü Buwei asked.

"Well, there's also rows of terracotta warriors, which seem to be guarding the formation, guarding the mausoleum." Ying Zheng said.

"It's kind of interesting." Lu Buwei stroked his beard again, "It seems that you should indeed go to observe and observe." ”

"It's great to have my middle father to help me." Ying Zheng was very happy.

"Your Majesty, if there is such a thing as visiting the tomb again, you must first ask your subordinates to investigate before you can enter." Lu Buwei said with concern.

"What the middle father reminded is that the widow remembers." Ying Zheng said.

Ying Zheng wanted to do that, but the conditions didn't allow it.

Lu Buwei nodded slightly and changed the topic: "By the way, yesterday the old minister told the king that Li Xin will return to Xianyang today, and it must be almost there, and the old minister wants to know how the king wants to solve the bandit trouble in Yingcheng." ”

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the middle father suggests?" ”

Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes and said, "Why don't you take it for your own use?" ”

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "The widow also has this intention, and he can't imagine that he coincides with the middle father." ”

"Then the old minister went to welcome Li Xin into the palace and agreed on this matter." Lu Buwei said.

"Invite Changping Jun over as well, about the affairs of the Chu State, the widow wants to hear his advice." Ying Zheng said.

"The old minister obeys the king's orders." Lü Buwei bowed his hand, and then exited the door.

Ying Zheng's brows condensed slightly, thinking about how to deal with Lu Buwei's suspicions.
