big song poppi

Chapter 657 0654 [Your Majesty is so kind to me! ]

"Daddy, look, that person is so short."

Shengnu was riding on Han Zhen's neck, holding a piece of Boluo wrapped in lotus leaf in her hand. She ate it with a crunchy taste and let out a cry of surprise from time to time.

The so-called Boluo is popcorn.

Pour some sugar water on it before serving. The rice will have a light sweet taste and is very popular with children.

"Daddy, you have worked hard. Shengnu will feed you."

As the little guy spoke, he picked up a piece of popcorn and put it into Han Zhen's mouth.

Han Zhen said lovingly, "Shengnu is really filial. Daddy loves you well."

The father and daughter walked towards the palace slowly, taking turns to talk.

All the way back to Yeonbokgung Palace, I heard Xiao Heyue yelling.

"Frame it, frame it!"

"General, get up quickly and charge!"

When they arrived at the back garden, they saw a tiger lying on the ground. Xiao Heyue was riding on its back, grabbing the tiger's ears with both hands, trying to pull it up.

The tiger's ears fluttered a few times and then it nimbly dodged the little hand.

This girl inherited Runniang's looks, but not her docile temperament. Instead, she inherited Han Zhen's domineering and strong personality. She is naughty all day long and is now almost the bully of the harem.

Even the tiger was frightened by it. Every time it saw it, it would either stay away from it or lie on the ground pretending to be dead.

"Daddy!"

When she saw Han Zhen, Xiao Heyue's eyes lit up. She immediately gave up on the tiger and pounced on him with her short legs.

Holding Daddy's thighs tightly, the little guy looked up at Sister Shengnu with envy and shouted, "Daddy, I want to ride a big horse too."

"Good good."

Han Zhen smiled helplessly, put Shengnu on the ground, and then put Xiao Heyue on his neck.

Shengnu had been sitting quietly, but Xiao Heyue was different. She grabbed Daddy's hair and yelled, "Daddy, hurry up!"

After playing with her daughter for a while, Xiao Heyue came down feeling satisfied.

"Ouch!"

The tiger rubbed its head against Han Zhen's waist and growled as a greeting.

Last winter, Han Zhen found a tigress for it, which made the stupid tiger very happy. During that period, it was inseparable from the tigress.

As a result, after half a month, the stupid tiger got fed up and started ignoring the tigress.

On the grass in the flower garden, Han Zhen got ready to play and fight with the tiger.

"Daddy!"

"General, get up quickly!"

Shengnu and Xiao Heyue stood aside, dancing and cheering.

Liu Chang's eyes twitched at the side. Although he had seen such scenes many times, he still felt terrified every time he saw them.

The tiger was really too big. When a man stood up, it was nearly ten feet tall, fat and strong, with its bloody mouth wide open, it could almost bite half of a person's head to pieces. It was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, this stupid tiger knew the importance of the attack. When playing, it retracted its sharp claws into its pads and did not dare to use force with its big mouth.

But even so, not everyone can endure it. The broad tiger paw can easily break human bones. This is only Han Zhen. Anyone else would have fallen apart long ago.

After throwing stupid tiger to the ground once again, Han Zhen brushed off the grass debris on his body, held his two daughters in each hand and went to the bathing pool.

After dinner, Han Zhen accompanied Zhao Fujin for a walk in the back garden.

It has been more than six months now. My pregnancy is starting to show and I have successfully overcome morning sickness.

Seeing her vomiting so hard before, Han Zhen was really worried that the fetus might not be saved. Who would have thought that after three months, she stopped vomiting immediately. It was really magical.

Zhao Fujin touched her bulging belly with one hand and supported her waist with the other hand, and said softly: "My husband, I haven't left the palace for a long time."

After she became pregnant, she became a lot more plump, and her originally tight oval face became rounder, but her foundation was still there, and she was still beautiful.

Han Zhen glanced at the sunset in the sky and chuckled, "The weather should be good tomorrow. I'll take you to Jinming Lake and Qionglin Garden."

"My husband is so kind."

Zhao Fujin leaned her head on his arms, her eyes full of joy.

She felt that she was lucky. Although her mother died early, she had an elder sister who loved her and had a carefree childhood. After she came of age, she married and moved to Shandong, where she met a husband who doted on her and spent two happy years in Shandong.

To this day, her husband has many women in his harem, but his love for her has not diminished in the slightest.

Han Zhen asked casually, "By the way, I haven't seen Youyou and Suyi much recently. What are they doing?"

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "I don't know much either, but I heard from my sister that the two of them seem to have started a business in the city."

During this period when she was pregnant, all matters concerning the harem were handed over to An Niang.

Doing business?
Han Zhen raised his eyebrows but did not ask any further questions.

I guess Ma Shuyao can't sit still and wants to find something fun to do, so let her do it.

As for whether he will use his identity to bully the market and make huge money, there is no need to worry about that.

Others may not know, but he knows it very well. Ma Shuyao is not short of money at all. When she got married, in addition to the 30 million strings of cash, the Ma family also gave her a lot of dowry as pocket money, which was at least hundreds of thousands of strings of cash. She hardly spends money on weekdays.

After walking around for half an hour and seeing that Zhao Fujin was a little tired, the two returned to the bedroom.

After settling her down, Han Zhen left the bedroom and asked, "Where are you going tonight?"

Hearing this, Liu Chang took out a memorial from his sleeve pocket, flipped through it, and replied, "Your Majesty should go to Madam Hua's bed tonight."

Originally, Han Zhen could sleep wherever he wanted, and for a while he was obsessed with Zhao Fujin.

But his fighting ability was extremely strong, and Zhao Fujin could not bear the conquest, so he advised him to treat everyone equally, which allowed Liu Chang to arrange a sleeping schedule.

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded and walked towards Congyu Pavilion.

After having a delicious Western-style rice bowl, he fell asleep contentedly.

The next day.

After practicing breathing techniques as usual and practicing with the iron spear for half an hour, Han Zhen changed into his casual clothes and went to the Chuigong Hall.

Yesterday's memorials were still piled high on the imperial desk. After taking a sip of hot tea, Han Zhen picked up the memorials and began to review them.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Chang quietly reminded, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shuye wants to see you."

"Xuan."

Han Zhen put down the memorial.

"I have met His Majesty."

Zhang Shuye bowed and presented a memorial: "This is the memorial written by Yue Fei, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

Han Zhen took the memorial from Liu Chang and began to read it.

After a moment, he closed the letter and said with a smile: "Pengju really did not disappoint me."

The expeditionary army adhered to the principle of quality over quantity, with a total of 5,000 people, all of whom were selected from the Han people in Guangdong and Guangxi and the natives who were sinicized. They trained every day, climbing mountains and walking through forests as if they were walking on flat ground. They also often suppressed bandits, using battles as training, and now they have become quite powerful.

Yue Fei said in his memorial that in another half a year, they would have a strong army that could be used in the war.

Zhang Shuye echoed, "General Yue is truly admirable in commanding and training troops."

Han Zhen ordered: "Liu Chang drafted an edict to give Yue Fei ten catties of gold, twenty pieces of brocade, and one hundred oriental pearls."

"Yes."

The servant responded.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuye asked, "Your Majesty, do you plan to take action against Lingnan in the near future?"

Han Zhen shook his head: "No hurry, Lingnan, Dali, and Jiaozhi may seem unrelated, but in fact they are one. If one move affects the whole, we need to deal with it carefully."

The strength of these three parties is not strong, but it is a big quagmire. Once you fall into it, it will be difficult to get out. Even if you want to take action, you must be fully prepared.

Today, the expeditionary army still needs to be trained, the route to America has not been opened, and the cinchona is still a long way off...

Han Zhen had enough time and patience to continue dragging things out and allow Gao Xiruo to lead the cult to continue infiltrating the Lingnan natives.

It has to be said that this cult is really good at assassination and infiltration.

According to the secret report submitted by Xiao Chong, with the secret support of the imperial court, the results in the past few months have been gratifying. Through various insidious means, either intimidation or inducement, many native chieftains have been controlled.

In fact, the real strategy for the native tribes in Lingnan was similar to the Ming Dynasty's policy of reforming the native tribes into officials.

Killing is endless and it is easy to cause ethnic confrontation. We should attack the big and let the small go, and eventually use cultural advantages to gradually complete assimilation.

This process will not be short. It will take at least thirty-five years before initial results are seen.

But it doesn’t matter, Han Zhen is still young and can definitely wait.

"That's what the military means, too."

Zhang Shuye breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Han Zhen would be carried away by victory and would send troops to attack Lingnan and Dali with a wave of his hand.

Han Zhen asked, "Is there any news from Japan?"

"No news yet."

Zhang Shuye shook his head and calculated, "It takes more than a month to go to Japan. Even if there is news, it will take at least half a month to reach the capital."

Han Zhen asked again: "Are the officials and master craftsmen going to Japan ready?"

He was not worried about Li Nanjia. Compared with the Japanese warriors, the vast ocean separating the two places was obviously more dangerous.

In addition, plans have already been made for the subsequent governance of Japan.

After conquering Japan, the chief craftsman would go there immediately to hire Japanese civilians and Ainu to mine the silver and copper mines. After smelting them on the spot, the mines would be shipped back to the country in batches.

"Everything is ready. We will set out immediately once the news of victory from Japan comes back," Zhang Shuye replied.

After discussing the affairs of the northern border with Zhang Shuye, the other party took his leave.

After reviewing yesterday's memorials in one go, Han Zhen asked, "What time is it?"

Liu Chang replied, "It's three quarters past midnight."

In terms of time, the most accurate place in the world today is the Da Qi Palace.

Thanks to the existence of the water-powered astronomical observatory, the time in the palace can be accurate to the second and can tell time automatically.

It is no exaggeration to say that this machine condenses the essence of Chinese technology.

"almost."

Han Zhen stood up, stretched, and walked out of the Chuigong Hall.

We agreed yesterday to accompany the Queen on an outing to relax, and we can’t break our promise.

When they returned to Yeonbok Palace, Zhao Fujin had just gotten up and was having breakfast with her sister Fujin.

"Husband."

When she saw Han Zhen, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face: "Have you dealt with all the government affairs?"

"Government affairs will never be finished, but with the cabinet helping to share the burden, it's okay to take a day off."

Han Zhen came and sat down next to the two sisters, and put his arms around Zhao Fujin's slender waist.

In fact, her waist is not particularly thin. After all, she has given birth to a child, so it feels plump and soft. However, her chest is too huge, and with her raised buttocks, she looks particularly slender.

"His Majesty."

Zhao Fujin pouted and looked embarrassed.

Although they are already an old married couple, she is still not used to being affectionate in public, especially in front of her sister.

Zhao Fujin smiled and said jokingly, "Sister, don't be embarrassed. Just think of me as a blind person."

"Don't say such nonsense."

Zhao Fujin frowned slightly, stretched out her slender white jade finger and poked her sister's forehead: "You, now you are the queen, and will soon be a mother. You should be more dignified and set an example for all the women in the world. Why are you still as playful as a child?"

Zhao Fujin sipped the rice porridge that replenished her energy and retorted, “Don’t common women act like spoiled brats in front of their husbands and sisters?”

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Xun De is right."

When he was with the two sisters, he usually called them by their titles from the previous dynasty, otherwise, because the pronunciations of "Fu Jin" and "Fu Jin" were very similar and easy to confuse them.

Zhao Fujin said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please just pamper her."

After waiting for the two women to finish their breakfast, the three of them got on the carriage and left the palace.

The weather is nice today, the spring is bright and there is a breeze from time to time, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Today is a good day for flying kites."

Zhao Fujin opened the curtains, squinted her eyes slightly, and let the warm morning sun shine on her delicate cheeks.

……

Jinming Lake and Qionglin Garden are located outside the west city. After exiting the Wansheng Gate, there is Jinming Lake to the north and Qionglin Garden to the south, just across the road.

Both of these places are royal gardens. Qionglin Garden was built during the time of Zhao Kuangyin and was not completed until Zhao Ji ascended the throne, and it took more than a hundred years to build.

After the palace examination of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the emperor would give a banquet in the Qionglin Garden, hence the name Qionglin Banquet.

Compared to the closed Qionglin Garden on a daily basis, Jinming Lake is divided into an inner pool and an outer pool. The outer pool is usually open to the public. In spring and summer, it is the best choice for Tokyo residents to go on outings and date nights.

Liu Qi got up early today, dressed himself up, and rode to Jinming Lake.

He was resistant to this blind date.

But it was His Majesty who arranged the marriage, so everyone had to go and meet him.

He had already made up his mind. After he arrived, he just sat for a while and then left, and then told His Majesty that he didn't like it.

Given the close relationship between him and His Majesty, His Majesty should not make things difficult for him.

The weather is good today, and many people come to Jinming Lake for sightseeing.

There are neat rows of water willows planted by the lake, and the willow branches sway in the wind. There are many pavilions and towers built on the huge pool, and flower boats are sailing across the pool, which is a beautiful sight.

After leaving the horse at a roadside teahouse, Liu Qi came to the dock.

"Meet County Lord Liu."

A eunuch had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Liu Qi, he immediately went up to him and saluted.

Liu Qi was not arrogant and bowed his hands: "Thank you for your help."

"You are too polite, County Lord Liu. Please come this way. The young lady from the Fang family has already arrived."

The eunuch led him with a smile and boarded a pleasure boat.

After he got on the boat, the pleasure boat slowly sailed away from the dock and headed towards the depths of Jinming Lake.

"Mr. Liu, the young lady from the Fang family is on the second floor. I will not disturb your meeting."

After the eunuch said this, he turned and left the cabin.

Liu Qi curled his lips, lifted the front of his clothes, and strode up the stairs.

Going all the way up to the second floor, I saw a young lady sitting quietly by the window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside. She was holding a small cassia fan, gently resting it on her snow-white and delicate chin.

As if she heard footsteps, the young lady slowly turned her head, revealing a bright and beautiful face.

A pair of clear eyes like a deer stared at Liu Qi, her red lips slightly parted, her voice was ethereal, as moving as the sound of a piano: "My little sister has met Brother Liu."

Gudong!

Liu Qi was stunned on the spot, with only one thought in his mind.

Your Majesty is so kind to me!
