After Ying Zheng worshiped Liu An, he didn't stay too long, said goodbye to Ji Fa, and returned to Xianyang with Li Si.

When I returned to the palace, it was just getting dark.

Although Zhao Gao had already informed several ladies that King Qin had an urgent matter to go to Lishan, several ladies were still quite worried.

"Your Majesty, why are you walking so eagerly, but you don't even say hello?" Hu Yu pursed his lips and complained.

"yes, our sisters thought something was wrong in the army." Lan Ting hugged the child and said.

"Hehe, what could be a big deal?" Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face, "The widow forgot that today is Liu An's sacrifice day, so he rushed over to pay respects."

"Is everything going well?" Nansu asked with concern.

Ying Zheng nodded, and said with a smile: "Worship an old friend, and you won't encounter any trouble, besides, there is still a widowed Meng family army in Lishan, nothing can be solved."

"Yes, I say don't worry about it, let the king go into the house and rest." Min Ruo said with her stomach straight, I don't know if she wants Yingzheng to rest, or if she is tired of standing up.

"Okay, let's see the queen mother together, and then we will eat together." Ying Zheng said.

The ladies answered, and followed Yingzheng to the queen mother's bedroom.

Without the palace wall in the middle, it was much easier to walk, but Yingzheng still called two sedan chairs and carried the two pot-bellied women who were about to give birth forward.

Since talking freely with Lu Buwei, Zhao Ji has opened her heart and gradually forgotten the sad past.

"Mother, the widow has something to discuss with you." After please, Ying Zheng said directly.

"Oh? What is the king's business?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Well...... Yingzheng looked quite hesitant, "Widow, this time I have to go on a long trip, and it may take a little longer, so I hope that the queen mother will help take care of the court."

Before Zhao Ji could speak, Wen Xuan on one side covered her stomach and exclaimed, "The king is going out again?"

"How long do you have to go?" Min Ruo also said while holding her stomach.

Obviously, these two big bellies don't want Ying Zheng to be around when they give birth.

Looking at the two wives with a little lost eyes, Ying Zheng also said with a lot of guilt: "Yes, the widow wants to go to the Western Regions and invite a few masters to come and help us build the royal tomb, otherwise, the construction of the royal tomb will be stopped halfway through."

"Then the king should send an envoy, why bother to go in person." Nansu said.

Hu Yu pursed his lips and said, "You don't want to think about it, the difficulties encountered by the king can't be solved by the whole of Great Qin, and the people invited must be outsiders, so they must only send envoys to go, I'm afraid they won't move."

The other three ladies looked at Hu Yu in unison, all with a little hostility in their eyes.

"All right, in front of the queen mother, don't talk too much." Ying Zheng straightened his face and said, "The widow's trip this time is something that has been scheduled for a long time, and I am not here to discuss with you, you just need to take care of your respective children."

When the ladies saw Yingzheng's cold face, they were silent.

Zhao Ji hurriedly came out of the round and said, "Zheng'er, look at you, how can you be the same as your father, if you say you lose your temper, you lose your temper, you are all the ones who are fathers, and you don't say anything about changing them."

Ying Zheng sighed and softened his tone: "In fact, every time the widow travels, the most worrying thing is the safety of the harem, and he is always thinking about it. But the widow is the king of a country, and he can't be stumped by the harem, isn't that a joke for the world."

When Nan Su, Wen Xuan, and Min Ruo heard this, they all lowered their heads slightly.

In fact, they all know this truth, but they don't want to be separated from Ying Zheng all the time, especially in the competition in this harem, they can't wait to tie Ying Zheng to their side.

Competing for favor is an eternal topic in the harem.

Only Hu Yu raised her eyebrows on the side, because she was the only one who fully supported Yingzheng no matter what she did.

"Alright, alright, you just know what to expect." Zhao Ji diverted from the conversation

The question said, "You want the queen mother to take care of the government, but I'm afraid that the queen mother can't do it now."

Ying Zheng said thoughtfully, "This is what if

In the past, when the middle father was here, the widow would definitely not have any worries, but now that Changping Jun has just taken over the phase, many things are not familiar, and besides, there are great changes in the personnel of the DPRK and China, and the dynasty is not stable, so I hope that the queen mother can help the widow."

Zhao Ji saw that Yingzheng said so earnestly, so she no longer shirked: "Okay, the queen mother will do her best."

"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Ji agreed, Ying Zheng said happily, "That widow ordered Wei Yu to guard the safety of the palace, let Wang Jian take charge of the city defense of Xianyang, and if the queen mother has any problems, she can find Li Si and Sima Jie."

"What, didn't you take Liss with you this time?" Zhao Jihu asked suspiciously.

Even Zhao Ji knew that Ying Zheng and Li Si were almost inseparable.

"No." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "This time, the widow left him in Xianyang to help with government affairs, and over there in the Western Regions, there are Meng brothers who accompanied the widow with our army."

"Your Majesty, is the Western Regions fun?" Hu Yu asked curiously.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "The widow has never been there, but I heard that the people there ride camels, drink mare's milk, and eat big and sweet watermelons."

Wen Xuan held her stomach, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Really? Then the king brought some to taste."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the meat of the beef and sheep is more tender and delicious than ours, and the fruit is also very delicious." Hu Yu said.

"Hahaha...... Ying Zheng laughed, "You guys, you know that you don't do business with widows, besides, if you want to buy other people's things, you have to use their money, our money won't work with them."

"You can exchange your things." Hu Yu said, "Hu people all exchange things for things, exchange their excess with each other, and exchange them for what they need."

Ying Zheng's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "Don't say it, your words really remind the widow, along the way, it is not bad to do some business with those states in the Western Regions, and after getting acquainted with each other, it must be very beneficial to diplomatic relations."

Isn't today's Yiqu Gongyu Tu a relationship gradually established by taking advantage of the opportunity to do business with neighboring countries?

Although the previous battle of Longxi had a really good effect, it only subdued the hearts of the Yiqu and Qiang people, and the other Rongdi states did not cause much turmoil.

What's more, in addition to Rongdi, there are also the countries of the Western Regions, and in the north, there is also a powerful Xiongnu.

When attacking the six countries in the east, there must be no chaos in the northwest.

When Hu Yu heard Yingzheng say this, his heart was full of joy: "Your Majesty, do you see any jewelry, porcelain, or anything in my palace that can be used, take everything you can, and exchange it for some specialties from the Western Regions for your concubines."

Hu Yu's joke really reminded Ying Zheng of the awakening.

"Speaking of porcelain, the widow should really bring some with me." Ying Zheng said thoughtfully, "It's a pity that the Jing family class has been making 'my ware' and flying crossbows during this time, and there is no extra time to make porcelain, you must know that using this thing to exchange goods will definitely make a lot of money."

Several ladies looked at each other, it seemed that Hu Yu's thoughts were not quite the same, and they were all a little reluctant to give up their hearts, so let's each choose some porcelain from the dormitory and hand it over to the king, if it is exchanged for something from the Western Regions, it is naturally good, if it can't be exchanged, then ask the Jing family class to make up for us."

The four ladies felt that what the Queen Mother said was reasonable, so they nodded in agreement.

The next day, Ying Zheng took Zhao Gao and began to select porcelain among the various dormitories.

And every time he took one, Zhao Gao recorded it in the book so that he could add it back later.

After selecting a sufficient amount of porcelain, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gaocai to buy a lot of cloth, silk and tea.

After everything was procured, it was the full moon of the little princess Yuting, and Yingzheng closed the palace door and made a lot of noise in the palace.

Although Lan Ting was happy, she was inevitably a little more disappointed in her heart.

Mother is more expensive than child, this sentence is indeed true, this birth is a man

The difference between giving birth to a daughter is really not small.

Now that everything is going well, and Ji Fa has helped, Yingzheng is naturally happy in his heart and drinks it

Come, I didn't control the amount of alcohol, and I drank one glass after another without boundaries.

At the end of the banquet, Meng Tian, who was still sober, took Meng Yi and dragged Yingzheng to the side.

"Your Majesty, I wanted to ask you why your alcohol has increased so much, but now I understand a little, did you eat that Linggu Pill to have such an obvious change?" Meng Tian said with a wink.

"Hehe, you guessed right." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "In this way, tomorrow when I go down to the court, I will call Sima Jie and Wei Yi to come to the widow's study together."

"Good!" The brothers answered and went back to the house to rest.

On the second day, the court meeting ended, and Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Sima Jie, Wei Yi and others came to Ying Zheng's study together.

Zhao Gao and Li Si were already waiting here.

Ying Zheng led everyone to the stone tripod in the backyard.

"Before, the widow told you that the widow is practicing alchemy, and today, let you open your eyes." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

With that, Ying Zheng took out a bag of red powder, and then put the prepared charcoal fire at the bottom of the stone ding.

Everyone watched Yingzheng's every step of the operation curiously.

"Your Majesty, it turns out that this stone tripod is used for alchemy." Meng Tian said.

"Hmm."

"Your Majesty, then these red powders are the raw materials for alchemy?" Sima Jie asked.

"Hmm."

"Your Majesty, who did you learn this alchemy skill from?" Meng Yi asked again.

"I said you are not bothered, these are all taught by Li Si to the widow, you can ask Li Si any questions." Ying Zheng said angrily, "The widow still has to concentrate on alchemy."

Meng Yi stuck out his tongue, leaned over to Li Si, and muttered quietly.

Ying Zheng began to concentrate on alchemy, and every step was just right.

After a while, the danxiang floated out of the stone tripod, and after invading the heart and lungs, it couldn't help but make people feel refreshed.

With a snap, the refining of the pill was completed, and the red and round pills rolled down from the gap under the belly and fell into the wooden box placed there in advance.

Ying Zheng withdrew the charcoal fire and walked to everyone with a wooden box: "Here, you can divide it."

"Does the king mean that we can all enjoy it?" Meng Tian asked a little unconfidently.

"Of course." Ying Zheng didn't think about it, and said directly, "Since the widow has told you all the secrets, you are naturally already a person of the same lineage as Tiancheng, and in terms of name, you are called the envoy of Tiancheng, which is the same as Li Si."

Li Si nodded and said, "Yes, what the king said is right."

Meng Tian and the others looked at each other and laughed grinningly. For them, Yingzheng has given them great edification.

"Still." Li Si seemed to have thought of something, and instead said, "According to the king's thousand-year plan, the dosage of this elixir in the future will not be small."

Zhao Gao's eyes rolled and said, "Yes, just this harem, and even the king's future heirs, the number will not be small."

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and said, "This is the vein established by the widows, not necessarily everyone will lift the ban, but this low-level Linggu Pill seems to be used by everyone."

"According to Weichen, the king works day and night, and this alchemy should not be done in person, and he should find someone else." Lees said.

Previously, Ying Zheng learned to refine the pill, but he just learned a basic skill, but when it came to mass production, it was not what he should do.

Sima Jie looked at everyone and said, "Your Majesty, you are all running around a lot, only Weichen often stays in Xianyang, why don't you teach Weichen, and then this alchemy matter will be handed over to Weichen."

"Hahaha." Ying Zheng was overjoyed and said, "This is a good idea, there are still four days, and the widow will take Meng Tian and them to Longxi, during this period, it is better to move Wen Tian to the capital

Go to the Lu Mansion, combine this stone tripod and Jiuding into one, and then you will follow Mr. to learn alchemy, so that the Jiuding in the Lu Mansion will be taken care of, and the outer mansion will naturally become a new Wenzhu residence."

Sima Jie was also overjoyed, bowed down and bowed, "Weichen Xie Wang!"
