Chapter 408 Voyage
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, little Weiwei is three years old. He is as pretty as a piece of jade, with red lips and white teeth. When he looks at you with a pair of big eyes like black grapes, your heart will be melted by him.

Xiao Weiwei perfectly inherited the beauty and intelligence of Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen, and also has the ability to remember everything he sees like them.

This made the Emperor very happy, and she began to teach him to read when he was two years old. Xiao Yichen was even happier to take him to the morning court every morning.

Shen Jia was strongly opposed to it at first, but when she saw that Xiao Weiwei seemed to be enjoying it and was sitting upright and listening very seriously, she had no choice but to surrender and let it develop freely.

In addition to telling him stories every night, she took him to the playground every five days.

Shen Jia had the playground built in the palace so that children could have a happy childhood.

On the day when the imperial palace amusement park was open, many children of royal relatives and important officials of the court brought their children into the palace.

In recent years, the Great Zhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.

All official and village roads in the Great Zhou Dynasty were paved with cement, every household's granary was filled with grain, and everyone was no longer illiterate...

The engineering college has developed machines that have greatly improved productivity in all walks of life.

Students from other colleges will graduate next year. After graduation, they will go to various parts of Da Zhou to contribute to the construction of Da Zhou.

The Jinyiwei were now spread all over the Great Zhou, intimidating many local officials and reducing the number of corrupt officials who were just sitting there doing nothing.

The old ministers who originally had some complaints about Shen Jia became completely silent after the three brothers Shen Hao and the three brothers Zhou Sizheng all passed the imperial examination and became Jinshi last year.

Shen Hao is the battalion commander of the Shenji Battalion. He is busy studying weapons with his subordinates every day, and he passed the imperial examination and ranked last.

Although Zhou Sizheng was a fifth-rank military officer, after returning from the northern border, he devoted himself to studying at the Imperial College and became the top scorer in the imperial examination, while Shen Yun became the third place in the imperial examination at the age of sixteen.

When the news came out, it shocked the entire court and the country. It was amazing for an ordinary family to have one Jinshi candidate, but the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion actually had six candidates at once. What a glorious occasion!

Some people even questioned whether they had cheated in the imperial examination, but before the doubts could spread, they were criticized and made to question their lives.

If Shen Hao and Zhou Sizheng had not gone to fight in the northern border, they would have taken the imperial examination long ago. Shen Yun and the other younger ones were only thirteen years old when they passed the examination, and Shen Jia and the others were still in the northern border, which shows that they have always been excellent. Besides, their achievements in the Imperial College are obvious to all, so how could there be any accusation of cheating?

After Zhou Sizheng passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he married Su Hao's granddaughter.

Shen Hao and Wei Xuanxuan gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, last year.

At the beginning of this year, Chiang Sanlang handed over two large steam treasure ships and two hundred sea vessels.

Xiao Yichen was very pleased. In addition to giving him and other shipbuilders generous rewards, Jiang Sanlang was promoted to a fourth-rank official. Other shipbuilders were also all included in the official system and received monthly salaries and subsidies after retirement.

After Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen took the time to see the big ship, they immediately decided to send people out to sea.

Shen An was the first to sign up to go to sea. This was his wish, and for this reason he even followed the foreigners who came to Da Zhou and learned their language for several years.

Although Shen Zhuoyun and Gu were reluctant, they did not object to his decision.

In the spring of the fifth year of Shengyuan, Shen An and others led a fleet of 200 ships and more than 13,000 people on their first long voyage.

Their fleet was well-equipped, and all the soldiers were familiar with water. Each of them was equipped with a pistol and life-saving supplies. Most of them were retired soldiers who participated in the Northern Frontier War. They were all strong and smart people.

Xiao Yichen's purpose of sending people out to sea was very clear, which was to promote the national prestige and culture of the Great Zhou, establish peaceful diplomacy with overseas countries, and build an international order centered on the Great Zhou.

At the same time, learn the good aspects of other countries, take their essence and discard their dross, and turn the good into the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou developed steadily in the direction planned by Shen Jia, and she and Xiao Yichen began to consider having a second child.

Half a year after Xiao Yichen stopped taking the medicine, Shen Jia successfully became pregnant with her second child.

Shen Jia was worried that little Weiwei felt insecure, so before telling stories every night she would pull his little hand and put it on her belly so that he could interact with his sister.

"Mother, my sister is in your belly?" Weiwei asked in a soft voice, blinking his big eyes.

Shen Jia gently kissed his little face, with a soft glow on his face, "Yes! My sister is in mother's belly, and Weiwei also came out after growing up in mother's belly."

Little Weiwei looked expectant: "How long will it take for my little sister to grow up?"

"In seven months, your sister will be old enough to come out and play with you."

"I want to make a gift for my sister myself."

"it is good!"

Shen Jia waited until he fell asleep before leaving the side hall. At night, he had a wet nurse, palace maids, and eunuchs to serve him and keep watch, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

Xiao Yichen already has his eldest son, Xiao Weiwei, and he longs for his second child to be a delicate and soft daughter.

When Shen Jia was four months pregnant, the imperial physician told him that she was pregnant with twins.

This means that Shen Jia is pregnant with more than two children, possibly three or four. This news scared Xiao Yichen, the Emperor, and the Queen Mother.

Shen Jia became a national treasure and all her work had to be stopped. Even if the ladies of the court had something important to do, they were not allowed to disturb her pregnancy, and all the banquets in the palace were cancelled.

Except for the time when he was in court, Xiao Yichen stayed with Shen Jia in Fengyi Palace. He only dealt with the government affairs that needed to be handled after she fell asleep.

Li Yue and Liu Xiaoying put aside everything they had and moved into the palace next to Fengyi Palace with the Queen Mother, Gu, the midwife, and the wet nurse when Shen Jia was six months pregnant.

Even though everything was ready, Xiao Yichen was still very nervous. Sometimes, an unintentional moan from Shen Jia would scare him so much that his face turned pale.

Little Weiwei would stroke Shen Jia's towering belly every day, coaxing softly, "Brother and sister, you must be good and obedient in mother's belly! Don't make trouble for mother! Otherwise, when you come out, brother won't play with you."

Shen Jia was so touched by Wei Wei's cuteness that his heart softened like cotton. He felt warm and comfortable. He gently kissed his little face and said, "You are such a good son to me. I love you!"

Little Weiwei blinked her eyes that were exactly the same as Xiao Yichen's. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her little face flushed. She said shyly, "Weiwei loves mother, too."

As the due date got closer, Xiao Yichen only attended the morning court once every five days and would not leave Shen Jiasanmi at other times.

Seeing that he looked like he was facing a great enemy, Shen Jia couldn't help but shake his head and laughed, and gently comforted him: "Ah Chen, this is my second child. I have magical medicine and a gynecological expert to protect me. I will definitely give birth smoothly. You really don't need to be too nervous."

Xiao Yichen hugged her gently, his voice gentle and tender: "Okay, I'm not nervous."

On the tenth day of October, at dawn, Shen Jia suddenly felt a familiar sharp pain and she couldn't help but gasp.

Xiao Yichen, who was already a light sleeper, opened his eyes and asked anxiously, "Jia Jia, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah Chen, I'm about to give birth."
