"If you press it again, the secret compartment will be revealed."
The queen reached out and took out the small jewelry from the secret compartment.
"This is?"
"Hey, mother, this is what I used for practice. You like sandalwood, so I asked someone to find some sandalwood for me, and I polished it into beads myself."
The queen was simply delighted that her son had grown up. The more she looked at the sandalwood beads in her hand, the more she liked them.
Seeing this, the eldest prince quickly took the bead back and said, "Mother, please look at this book of 'Physical Techniques'. I need to process this bead a little more."
When the queen read the book, she found that the sports in it were not differentiated by gender, which meant that both men and women could participate.
She turned her head and glanced at her own prince. "Prince, I have always forgotten to ask you, your academy has separate classes for men and women, right?"
The eldest prince waved his hand nonchalantly and carefully put the beads away. "Whatever the Queen Mother said, we will naturally attend class together."
"The Minister of Revenue's daughter, Li Sisi, is in the same class as me. The most annoying thing is that she learns arithmetic faster than me, and always ranks ahead of me on the quizzes."
The queen looked at the nanny beside her. The prince still didn't understand.
Forget it. The queen waved her hand and sent all the palace maids and eunuchs out, leaving only her and the eldest prince in the room.
"You all go down first!"
The eldest prince looked at his mother in confusion.
"My son, I have studied the laws of the Great Qin that you brought back last time. I want to divorce your father."
The queen gritted her teeth and expressed her thoughts, but she received no response from the eldest prince.
She looked up and saw her own prince looking at her with joy.
happy?
Why be happy?
"Mother, do you really think so?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I brought the law to you. I didn't expect you to have figured it out on your own."
"Have you told the Emperor? Does the Emperor agree?"
"It doesn't matter if he disagrees. I will go find him and convince the emperor to agree to let you leave the palace and enjoy the outside world."
"It's a pity that I have to go somewhere else to investigate corrupt officials soon. Otherwise, I could accompany you on a tour around Daqin. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The queen looked at her son with a headache. Why did he become more and more excited as he spoke?
"My son, your father and I still need to discuss the details. Please don't get excited."
"In a few days, my mother wants to visit the academy. Can you accompany me?"
The eldest prince was interrupted by the queen and was dissatisfied. When he heard that his mother was going to where he went to school, he nodded excitedly.
"Mother, you will definitely like it when you go there."
The queen also nodded.

In the cold palace, Concubine Jin sat on a chair, constantly stroking the jade pendant in her hand.
This jade pendant was given by Sang Zhen, the emperor of Sang Kingdom.
Everything is in vain, everything is in vain, she can't hold the prince back any longer.
The only way now is for her to die, then His Majesty will pity and protect the prince.
She broke the only bowl on the table, picked up the pieces, and heard the sound of the door opening.
She saw the prince she had been thinking about push the door open and come in, "Mother, what are you doing?"
When Concubine Jin heard the voice, she burst into tears and rushed forward to hug the second prince.
"It was mother who harmed you! It's all mother's fault."
The Second Prince gently stroked his mother's back, as if comforting a child, muttering, "Mother, don't blame yourself. I don't blame you."
Concubine Jin pulled the Second Prince away from her, eyes full of disbelief, "You, you know all this?"
The Second Prince gave a wry smile and said, "Those who should know probably already know."
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Jin took a step back suddenly and spat out black blood from her mouth.
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this. The prince should sit on the supreme throne, and I should use Daqin as a matchmaker to become the most noble queen in the world."
"No, what's wrong?"
"I don't understand what went wrong. The wizard's calculations never go wrong. I am the Phoenix's destiny!"
Seeing Concubine Jin becoming increasingly frantic, the Second Prince could only restrain her and shout, "Mother, don't you want to be with me? Do you really want us to be separated by the Yin and Yang?"
Concubine Jin's struggles became quieter and quieter, and a tiny voice came out of her mouth, "Is it too late?"
The Second Prince saw that she seemed to be regaining consciousness and quickly said, "It's not too late. Otherwise, my father would have quietly executed me long ago. Why would he have kept me alive until now?"
"I will not be allowed to assist the Crown Prince in researching incubation technology. This kind of technology is a top secret in any country."
"Mother, listen to me. As long as you stay in the cold palace, I can open a mansion in the capital after I have made great contributions. Then I can take you home with me."
"When the time comes, I'll marry a wife and give birth to a big fat boy for you, and you'll be responsible for raising the child."
"Don't you often say that I was the most well-behaved when I was a child? What you liked most was to stay with me every day."
Concubine Jin was stunned when she heard this, and only nodded slowly at the end.
"Okay, I'll take it."
"Then mother, you must promise me that you will hold on in the cold palace. If you are gone, there is no need for the emperor to exist."
Concubine Jin then looked at her son straight in the eye, "My son, you have changed. I am very happy with you now."
The Second Prince looked at Concubine Jin and gritted his teeth before asking, "Mother, is that so-called wizard very powerful?"
When Concubine Jin heard the word "wizard", she couldn't help but shudder, "Don't mess with the wizard. The wizard is the guardian of Sang Country. He can do anything for Sang Country."
The second prince understood what was going on. He gently coaxed Concubine Jin to sleep, and then called in his personal eunuch.
"Clean up Mother's place properly. Father will definitely not blame me."
He was the victim of yesterday's incident, but his father would not interfere too much in matters like taking care of his mother.
Qin Yuanhao in the Yangxin Palace had no time to take care of such trivial matters.
He is now working late into the night to discuss the affairs with the officials of the Hanlin Academy.
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this treaty. Isn't it too good for them? What if they can't grow crops there? Wouldn't our people suffer if they go there?"
"allow."
"Your Majesty, it must be written here that a separate courtyard must be arranged for the Great Qin envoy. If necessary, the Great Qin envoy will bring his family with him."
"That makes sense. OK."
"Your Majesty, the amount of soil to be transported needs to be clearly negotiated with the Ministry of Revenue before it can be filled in. Otherwise, if the amount is too large, our Great Qin will suffer a loss."
"Oh, sure."
The officials of the Hanlin Academy are in their best condition.
On the other hand, Qin Yuanhao was already a little drowsy, and Zhou Mian handed him the goat milk at this time.
"Everyone, let's take a break before continuing! This goat milk nourishes the brain and may increase efficiency."
