The queen was delighted and said hurriedly, "Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The four of them stood up and stood respectfully aside.

"Why did Zhe'er and Xin'er come into the palace today?" the queen asked with a smile.

"I have recently developed a new firearm, and I would like to invite the emperor to come and see it, but I am afraid that the emperor will not be willing to show his favor, so I specially invited a few more people to go with me."

He Yingzhe smiled and said, "I was originally thinking of paying my respects to the Queen after I finished my work, but I didn't expect to meet the Queen here, so I'll pay my respects to her first."

As he spoke, He Yingzhe bowed deeply again and asked, "Is the Queen in good health these days?"

"It's all good. Just don't worry." Seeing that He Yingzhe was becoming more sensible and understanding, the queen smiled even more. "Since you are going to see the emperor, I am also going to Chongyang Palace now, so let's go together."

"Yes." The four agreed and followed the queen one by one.

With the four people accompanying her, the queen no longer sat in the sedan chair, but led Qin Suxiao slowly to Chongyang Palace with the four people.

"How are your great-grandmother and grandmother doing these days?" the queen asked. "When your mother came to the palace a few days ago, she mentioned that your great-grandmother had a poor appetite these days and had a cough in the morning and evening. Are they feeling better now?"

"She's well now." He Yingzhe answered truthfully, "My mother examined my great-grandmother carefully and said it was caused by the hot weather. She has asked someone to prepare some medicinal food to clear away heat and relieve internal heat for my great-grandmother to take on a daily basis."

"As for great-grandmother's cough..."

He Yingzhe paused, speaking a little embarrassedly, "My mother couldn't find out the cause at first, and when she checked my great-grandmother's pulse, she found that she had a lot of dampness in her body, and that she had caught a cold, which caused her cough. She became more and more curious, until two days ago when my mother and grandmother went to pay their respects to my great-grandmother in the morning and found that she had secretly eaten an ice bowl in the morning, and even ate two bowls in one go..."

Queen: "..."

It's something a mother can do! "When they say old kids are old kids, it means that when an old person reaches a certain age, he becomes as greedy and playful as a child. I thought your great-grandmother would be different from ordinary people, but I never thought she would be like this."

The queen laughed in silence, "I'll have to go over there when I have time and talk to her properly."

"My mother and grandmother also said the same thing. They said that if the queen had time, she would talk to my great-grandmother about this matter. However, after my great-grandmother was discovered, she felt a little embarrassed and stopped eating cold food. She also took the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by my mother."

He Yingzhe smiled and said, "He has gotten much better in the past two days, so there is no need for the Queen to worry too much."

"Your mother is an excellent doctor, so I am naturally very relieved." The Queen nodded repeatedly and looked at Lou Zhixin, "Xin'er, what have you been busy with recently? It's been a long time since I saw you in the palace."

"I have to go to the Imperial Academy to study every day, and after school I have to practice with my uncles in the training grounds." Lou Zhixin replied, "My grandfather would teach me a thing or two when he had time. My riding and archery skills have improved during this period. When the autumn hunting season comes, I can let the Empress take a look."

"You are the only grandson of your grandfather, so he naturally taught you meticulously. You have received your grandfather's personal teachings, so naturally you will be good too."

The queen smiled and said, "I'll wait and see if you come out on top then."

"Grandmother, you can't let this help boost my new brother's ambitions." Qin Zeyuan interrupted, "My grandson's riding and archery skills are no worse than my new brother's."

Su Yunruo is a person who is extremely good at both civil and military affairs, and although Qin Peiyou is more talented in learning than in martial arts, he does not relax in this aspect. Qin Zeyuan has inherited almost all the martial arts skills of the two, and his talent points in martial arts are extremely high. He has shown great intelligence and outstanding martial arts at a young age.

Especially in the aspect of horse riding and archery, Qin Zeyuan has the ability to learn without any teacher. With a little instruction from his master, he can shoot his arrows without missing a target.

In last year's autumn hunt, Qin Zeyuan won first place at a young age, which was very impressive.

"Yes, yes, absolutely." The queen laughed, "You, don't you know how to be humble in front of your brothers?"

"It's okay to be modest in front of others, but not in front of Brother Xin." Qin Zeyuan took the opportunity to make an invitation, "Master Wu will take us to hunt wild ducks in the western suburbs tomorrow. Brother Xin will go with us?"

It is hot in the summer, but the western suburbs are quite cool. Wild ducks like to look for ponds in groups in the summer, and they are very agile in the ponds. It is not easy to hunt wild ducks in the ponds.

Lou Zhixin was immediately interested and nodded quickly, "Okay."

"Then it's settled." Qin Zeyong's face was also full of excitement, "We will gather outside the West City Gate at the beginning of the morning hour tomorrow."

"It's a deal." Lou Zhixin nodded.

"You three are having such a great time together, have you forgotten about your brother Zhe?" the Queen reminded.

The three of them smiled when they heard this. Qin Zeyuan even smiled and said, "Grandmother, it's not that we forgot about Brother Zhe. It's just that even if we invited him, I'm afraid Brother Zhe would not want to go."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He Yingzhe touched his nose and said, "That does make sense, but if you are willing to throw a few firearms to fry the wild ducks, I should be very interested."

Three people, "..."

I hope that doesn't interest you!

When the queen saw the complicated expressions of the three people, she laughed again, but tilted her head, "Speaking of firearms, I have wanted to ask you for a long time, why are you so interested in firearms?"

"This..." He Yingzhe scratched his ear a little embarrassedly, "I really don't know how to answer for a moment."

"Why don't you know how to answer? If you can't answer, then I'll help answer it." Qin Zhiyuan on the side chuckled, "This story starts when Brother Zhe was five years old. It was the Lantern Festival at that time. Brother Zhe was playing with fireworks and firecrackers. He used the incense stick to light the firecrackers and hid far away. As a result, he encountered a dud. There was no movement for a long time. Brother Zhe was curious and went to see, but the firecracker suddenly exploded, and his face was covered in black."

"Brother Zhe has been very interested in firecrackers since then. He would take apart the firecrackers to look at the gunpowder inside, study the proportions inside, and start trying to make various firearms."

"So this is the interest that comes from playing?" The queen tilted her head.

"Not entirely." He Yingzhe smiled awkwardly, "I can only say that it made me curious about gunpowder. As for my interest in it, it was because I read a book."

"What book?" Everyone was curious.

"I have completely forgotten the title of the book, but I only remember that it said that the foundation of a strong country lies in its weapons. As long as a country has lethal weapons that other countries do not have, other countries will not dare to act rashly."
