"In this case, I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the unborn child." Qin Yu'er buried her head in Li Feng's arms and immediately raised her head again: "Your Majesty, I remembered something but didn't tell Your Majesty."
"What's the matter with you? You're so surprised." Li Feng's eyes widened: "Don't you know that you are a big-bellied woman? What should you do if you hurt my prince?"
"I am also thinking about your majesty!" Qin Yu looked aggrieved.
"That's it. Li Ji has left the palace and Yu Ji has also left. I am pregnant now. As a queen, I have to think about Your Majesty. I have a cousin in my hometown who is dignified and beautiful, well-educated and graceful. She is
A famous lady in Sichuan, I was the best friend with my cousin when I was a child. We often..."
Qin Yu talked a lot to himself, praising his cousin like an endless river. Li Feng looked at her salesperson look and finally grasped the key point.
"Stop, after talking for a long time, you just want to call your cousin into the palace to make me my concubine, right?"
"Yes, yes, your majesty has no one to sleep with you recently. I just want to call my cousin to accompany you. Don't let the wealth go to outsiders, hehe! My cousin is very beautiful, and she is also very good at getting things done. She will definitely be able to please your majesty.
Happy."
"You...you..." Li Feng was speechless for a moment, stunned for a moment, and vomited: "You are really pregnant!"
"So, His Majesty agreed?"
"Let's check it out later. I've been quite busy recently."
........
"We're recruiting workers, we're recruiting workers, the government is recruiting workers, go build the river embankments, you can get 5 coppers every day."
In a place called Maple Leaf Village below Liyang County, the police chief and three people beat the gong and held notices while looking for a suitable place to post them.
According to the purchasing power of the 21st century, 5 copper coins in the Qin Dynasty were equivalent to 500 yuan.
Such a high salary immediately attracted many people to watch.
"Hey, Yue Laosi, are you going to sign up? Take me with you," a young man with dark skin and a simple face shouted after catching up with a lean man in front of him.
"Xusun, what are you doing? You don't have any legs, so you can't go. You still want me to take you with you?" Yue Laosi looked unhappy and walked forward quickly after speaking.
"I heard that your brother Yue Buqun has gone to save money to marry Miss Li. As the elder brother, can't you help me?" The honest young man caught up with Yue Laosi and put his arms around Yue Laosi with a playful smile.
Yue Laosi rolled his eyes: "Don't mention Yue Buqun. That boy has no eyesight. Then it seems that Miss Li is not an ordinary person. Is this what he dares to think?"
"Besides." Yue Laosi approached Xu Sun and said, "I heard that Mrs. Li is pregnant a long time ago, so don't worry about her."
"Who said I care about it? I don't care about it." Xu Sun's face turned red, he raised his neck and argued loudly.
"Haha!" Yue Laosi was amused when he saw him like this, but he didn't say anything after seeing through it: "Since you don't care about it, just sign up and make money. Later, I will introduce you to a good wife."
"Well then, let's go quickly. We won't fill up the place later. You don't want us if you want to go."
The folk customs of the Qin Dynasty have always been simple and honest. Since Qin Xiaogong, private fights have been forbidden among the people, but they are very brave. Occasionally there will be some friction between neighbors, and they will stop at chatting.
Over time, most of the men have a good relationship, and there is no intrigue. After all, most men still don't like to quarrel.
The government affairs quickly spread throughout the village. When they learned that even women could go, the aunts and uncles in the village quickly became active.
Now the seedlings in the fields cannot survive, and everyone is helpless and worried. They are all worried about the food rations for the second half of the year. I heard that they can earn wages, and everyone is very happy.
"Sister-in-law Xiao, everyone is going to work, are you going or not?" A middle-aged woman with a face full of enthusiasm shouted towards a mud house not far away.
She was a daughter-in-law from another village who returned to her parents' home a few days ago. She didn't know much about the situation here. She saw that there was an earthen house not far from her that was the best in the village, so she got to know the owner of the earthen house.
After spending a few days together, I found that there was only an old woman and her daughter in the mud house. It was strange that this family neither farmed nor did business, and there was no man in the family, but they never seemed to lack money in life.
Life is much better than that of ordinary people.
Hearing shouts in the earthen house, he stuck his head out and said, "I'm not going. You go ahead. My daughter is not in good health and I have to take care of her, so I won't join in the fun."
"You have wages, but you won't go? Then I..." The middle-aged woman was about to continue shouting and walked towards the earthen house, when suddenly the sound of Zhuge's crossbows was heard all around.
Sister-in-law Xiao from Tsuchiya grabbed a gong in front of the door and knocked it. The sound of the machine inside disappeared.
Her sister-in-law appeared at the right time and stopped her: "Don't look for trouble, my sister-in-law Xiao is not a person who is short of money."
"Why?"
"Oh, please stop asking. It's not good for us to ask too many questions like this. Normally, if Sister-in-law Xiao is willing to contact us, we should be more enthusiastic. If she is not willing, let's not try to get in touch with her, ah."
"oh oh!"
"Ugh! Ugh..." In the earthen house, a stunning beauty with a childlike face was covering her mouth and vomiting. Sister-in-law Xiao on the side quickly fetched hot water to rinse her mouth.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
"Mommy, it's much better. I didn't expect this little guy to be so noisy."
"Mother, this is a good thing. Let me tell you, if you vomit a lot, it means it is a son. If you give birth to a prince for your majesty, your majesty will definitely be very happy."
"Really!" Li Yanran looked in the direction of Xianyang Palace with a smile on her face and murmured to herself: "I just don't know when he will come to pick me up."
Aunt Xiao saw her thoughts and comforted her: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is not a forgetful person. He will arrange everything and take you back."
"I heard Commander Liu (the head of the bodyguard arranged by Li Feng to protect Li Ji) say that His Majesty has been dealing with the severe drought in Guanzhong recently and has been quite busy. Maybe he will come right after he is done."
"Yeah, I believe him!"
........
On a ten-mile slope outside Jiangling Zhangye County, the moon and stars were sparse. Even without a torch, every tree and plant on the road was extremely clear. A rich man and several guards were standing on the roadside, walking up and down, anxiously waiting for something.
.
It was obvious that they were very nervous. The rich man clenched his hands and was sweating slightly. He thought it was not enough, so he grabbed the guard's torch and held it up, and finally he felt more at ease.
After a while, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from far and near, and a motorcade came slowly. There were about fifty people walking in front of them, but these people were sturdy and full of murderous aura. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.
"You're here, I've been waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour. You guys are too late."
