Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 338 The Sad Rain
Xu Zhenqing knew everything that happened in the capital, and also knew what Liu Jin was doing. The huge Forbidden City was dead, and the sky was drizzling. Xu Zhenqing walked out of the Imperial Academy with an oiled paper umbrella, with loneliness in her eyes. Liu Jin finally came to this step. This day has changed.

Yan Song stood on Donghaiwei, which is called Zhoushan according to the local residents. When he came to the beach, Yan Song opened a chart written in Japanese characters. This was taken from the Japanese pirates by Tang Bohu at the beginning, and it has been kept until now. Has Tang Bohu planned to plot the East China Sea since ten years ago?
Behind Yan Song is a project in full swing, with the sea breeze blowing head-on. Today's Donghaiwei needs to be remodeled. Tang Bohu wants to build a big harbor city, and at the same time, he wants to build a huge fleet here, called the East China Sea Fleet.

Tangzhuang
In the quiet Tang Mansion, Qiuxiang was changing the children's new clothes. The children had already learned to babble, although they still couldn't speak well. The four children were lying on the small bed and taking a nap. Tang Xin, Tang Xue, Zhu Yi, Tang Cheng, three boys and one daughter, Qiuxiang frowned unconsciously looking at the drizzle outside, and closed the door for fear that the cold wind would disturb the children's rest.

Tangzhuang Academy was still buzzing with books, Yang Tinghe looked at Wang Shouren and said, "It's a pity that you don't become an official."

"Maybe I'm not an official." Wang Shouren continued: "I like this academy more. There is no intrigue in the officialdom here, and more of the children's innocent smiles and children's desire for knowledge."

Yang Tinghe has already become a member of the academy, looking at the roster in front of him, "Are there so many students going to Donghaiwei?"

Wang Shouren nodded, "According to Bohu, this is an internship to test the children's learning achievements and let the students go out to practice."

"It's a good idea." Yang Tinghe nodded and sighed, "I remember that the academy was just a small dormitory at the time, and in a few years this academy has become a university campus no less than that of the Imperial College, but the Imperial College has withered into what it looks like now. "

"You have a grudge against Liu Jin." Wang Shouren stood up and said, "I have an idea that I haven't told you, but Tang Bohu told me that students from Tangzhuang Academy may become officials in the future."

"To be an official?" Yang Tinghe said doubtfully, "Tang Bohu wants to turn this place into an official school."

"More than that?" Wang Shouren said: "After a hundred years, this academy will become the number one institution in the world. Students can finish their studies here and become officials, of course, they don't have to be officials. The meaning Tang Bohu wants to explain is to choose two words, Students can choose the path they want to take, and they are no longer an official. Many people say that being an official can make you stand out, but Tang Bohu wants to break the stereotype, and also wants to break a bigger stereotype."

"College students become officials?" Yang Tinghe gasped, "There are only a few Tangzhuang Academy today, women who are about to finish their studies, does it mean that Tang Bohu wants to create women to be officials?"

"That's right." Wang Shouren replied.

"This Tang Bohu is really bold." Yang Tinghe smiled wryly, "Isn't he afraid that scholars all over the world will poke his back?"

Wang Shouren also shook his head and smiled helplessly, "Do you think Tang Bohu cares about the eyes of the world? Did you find out? The children in this academy are full of arrogance. They learn knowledge that the world has never seen before. They are so unique. It’s different, one Tang Bohu is enough to cause headaches, and there will be tens of thousands of Tang Bohus coming out of this academy in the future.”

Forbidden City Harem

An imperial physician was taking the queen's pulse. Empress Xia calculated that it had been three months since Zhu Houzhao came to her. At the beginning, she was counting on the auspicious day of conception, "How about the imperial physician?"

Hearing the queen's words, the imperial physician stood up and said with a puzzled expression: "The queen has eaten anything strange these days."

"My palace's meals have always been prepared by the imperial dining room." Empress Xia asked, "Prince doctor, how is my pulse condition? Is she pregnant?"

"I also ask the queen to make amends." The imperial physician suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and said, "The queen is not pregnant."

Empress Xia turned pale when she heard the answer, and her eyes were full of disappointment.

The imperial doctor continued: "The queen is not pregnant now, and the queen may not be pregnant in the future. The queen can no longer be a mother."

"What did you say!" The queen suddenly stood up and said, "Please tell me clearly."

The imperial doctor said in a difficult way: "I don't know what the queen has been eating today, but the queen can no longer bear children because she ate some cool and evil food, so I invited the queen to get hangover."

"How...how did this happen." Empress Xia said loudly, "You said that I ate something unclean?"

"Yes!" the imperial physician replied, "If the queen's meals are arranged by the imperial dining room, you might as well ask the imperial dining room."

When Empress Xia traced all the way to the imperial kitchen, she found that a group of people in the imperial kitchen had been replaced a month ago. It was said that the empress dowager replaced all the people because she was not satisfied with the previous imperial chef. All the servants of the materials have been changed.

Queen Mother...

The Queen's heart felt chilly, it was the Queen Mother who was causing the trouble!

"I want to see the queen mother!" Empress Xia went crazy. If this matter is really what the queen mother said, this old woman will make herself unable to be a mother.

"The Empress Dowager has gone to the ancestral temple to worship the Buddha, and she will not return to the palace for a few days." Someone reported.

Empress Xia cried and knelt on the ground weakly, "Why! Why are you treating me like this! I'm just an ordinary woman, why do you push me to this point? I can't do it if I don't want to be a queen! Why, Queen Mother, why are you so vicious!"

The little palace maid who has been serving the queen mother said: "It was your blessing that you were a queen in the past. The reason why the queen mother has not let you contact your majesty, and your majesty has not contacted you, wouldn't the queen think about the reason?"

"What did I do wrong?" The queen's hair was disheveled in the rain, and she knelt in front of the queen mother's palace gate.

The little maid said again: "You are just too stupid. Your queen status was determined by the late emperor. Even His Majesty can't refute the late emperor's will, so you can only be a queen. Now you can be a queen quietly. Come to deal with you, but you are not satisfied, if you want to unite with Liu Jin, if you want to make progress, there will be due consequences."

"There are dangers in the world, and this danger will be magnified countless times in the palace." The little maid continued: "What you have never figured out is that you are the queen, or the wife of your majesty! You are already the mother of the world." The queen wants to push forward, and she has spoiled everyone's good deeds, but she has to press every step of the way. To be kind, you have to know how to give in. Do you know now?"

The queen knelt in the rain without saying a word.
