Chapter 497 The One-Armed Goddess



It was quite cold this morning.

Huan Yue was indoors, no longer able to practice the Eight Pieces of Brocade, so he just moved around casually.

She can lift weights like that. Even a hundred pounds feels light in her hands.

While others might find carrying ten pounds too heavy, she wouldn't complain about carrying ten pounds of gold.

Therefore, weightlifting was accomplished using two fifty-tael silver ingots.

Huan Yue placed a silver ingot on the child's stomach so the child could practice martial arts.

Madam Yang laughed and didn't care. It wasn't a problem for the Empress to have a belly that could support ten pounds of weight, nor was it a big deal for her to have such a big belly. The main problem was the inconvenience of movement.

Zichen Palace.

The Emperor has received a secret report: Prince Zhaosu of the Great Stone Kingdom has entered the Great Zhao Kingdom without a letter of credence, just as before.

Then there's no need for the Great Zhao to find a reason. If 10,000 or 20,000 people can even make a single trip around the Great Zhao, then Xie Yu is truly incompetent!

Xie Yu and Xie Zhen are close together; the two brothers weren't always that close.

It's not good now, but at least I can say a few words to my father.

Xie Zhen said, "Those arms can heal, but what if they were chopped off?"

Xie Liu asked, "Need any help?"

This is a small matter, not necessary.

Since arsenic is so powerful that even confinement can't contain her flirtatious nature, Xie Zhen should send someone to bring her here by her arms rather than by her head.

The matter was handled quickly; naturally, the arms were not retrieved, and the eunuch reported the result.

He didn't pay attention at the moment: "What did I do?"

Xie Zhen replied, "Your subject found the evil magic of the Great Stone Kingdom to be very magical, so I chopped off the arsenic's arms and waited for them to grow back."

Speechless. Perhaps there's some anticipation? What kind of medical skills does the Great Stone Kingdom possess?

Now, he called Sanlang over and asked, "Where would be a suitable location for Sheng'an University?"

Xie Yu had good eyesight: "This estate used to belong to the Dong family, and it's in a very good location."

Less than ten miles from Jinguang Gate, there is Jinming Pond not far away, and to the north is Jinniu Mountain.

The entire area was approximately 5,000 mu. The Dong family occupied about 200 mu at the time.

It looks pretty good now, let's circle around it.

Xie Yu added, "Jinniu Mountain deserves a thorough investigation."

He nodded in agreement.

The city of Sheng'an has been completely excavated, so how can we not excavate the surrounding area? Although it belongs to the Dong family, they might not be able to out-excavate as much as the Great Stone Kingdom.

As for what else the Dong family was hiding, Xie Yu didn't care at all; his surname was Xie.

Local matters are easy to handle. Right now, the only thing on my mind is the imperial physician.

For ordinary people, they will do it if there are benefits or no harm, just like there will be people who continue to do the job of coroner.

Medicine is very important, including veterinary medicine.

Raising cattle and horses is not easy, not to mention plagues.

It is unbelievable that even the Great Stone Kingdom can control some plagues, while the Great Zhao Kingdom is still helpless.

Xie Yu wondered what his father, the Emperor, was planning; perhaps this university would be even larger than he had imagined.

Xie Zhen said, "Navigation requires a set of rules, which include too many things."

From shipbuilding to naval warfare and the complexities of the sea.

Xie Zhen felt that "there are still quite a few items to collect. Some people are unwilling to hand over their own, but they can exchange them."

Once a circle or habit is formed, and they've tasted the benefits, they won't hold onto it anymore.

The imperial court was going to go to sea anyway, which would allow them to gather all sorts of information.

A palace attendant came to report: "Zeng Rongde and his group are crying outside Xuande Gate again."

The emperor issued an edict: "The entire Zeng family is to be sent back to their ancestral home."

Once you get out of Sheng'an City, you won't be able to cause trouble here and there.

Chang Zihe escorted his wife and children to Xuande Gate.

Zeng Rongde and his group were being forcibly driven away.

Zeng Rongde's eyes lit up when he saw the Chang family, and he deliberately staged an accident to extort money!

Bingwei dragged the Zeng family members away. Sending them back to their hometown was giving them a chance; if they didn't want it, they didn't have to.

Imperial favor is something many people desire.

Jing Wei carried her son into the room, and then it became quiet.

Chang Zihan came over and greeted her sister-in-law and nephew.

The child looked at the pretty young lady and exclaimed, "Wow, that's my aunt!"

Chang Zihan reached out and hugged him.

Jing Wei supported herself with one hand: "Heavy."

Chang Zihan smiled and said, "I can carry you."

She's eight years old this year, and will be nine after the New Year. How can she not lift her nephew who's only a few months old? But little Chang Xiaozhong is really heavy.

Jing Wei, protecting Chang Zihan with one arm, walked towards Qing'e Palace, asking as she did so, "Didn't you study with the princess today?"

Chang Zihan smiled and said, "The princesses are all with Consort Xian."

It's not that the little princess has a lot of influence, it's that Princess Peng has a lot of influence, so everyone goes to the stepmother's place to play with the eldest sister-in-law.

Jing Wei then asked, "How is the little princess?"

Chang Tzu-han said, "Master Ku Miao said she is very lucky."

Jing Wei nodded: "To be born as a royal princess is naturally the greatest blessing."

They went to the Qing'e Palace together.

Chang Zihan was still holding her little nephew. Jing Wei, along with her cousin and niece, paid their respects to the Empress.

Aww! Baby wants to pay respects to Auntie!

How should Jing Wei, holding her son, greet them?

The child looked at the pretty aunt and stared at her big belly.

Huan Yue smiled and beckoned them all to come forward, inviting Zihan to join them as well.

Chang Zihan carefully took care of her cousin and niece.

Yu Hui and Zhai Minglan looked especially beautiful today, like two little fairies. The two sisters are also very pretty.

Little Chang Xiaozhong touched his aunt's belly and then paid his respects to his cousin, the grandson of the emperor.

Jing Wei said to the Empress, "This boy is a bit silly."

Huan Yue smiled and asked them to sit down.

Jing Wei, holding her son, sat boldly and imitated the Empress: "Yesterday, on our way to the capital, he stayed awake the whole way, even though he was so sleepy he was dying. He kept his eyes wide open, looking just like that, like a complete idiot. His uncle tried to coax him to sleep the whole way, but he wouldn't. When he finally fell asleep, he slept like a log. I tried to wake him up all night, but he didn't want to eat. I don't know how tired he was. When he finally woke up, he was crying from hunger. Tell me, isn't that shameful?"

Huan Yue said, "What's shameful about a child?"

Jing Wei said of her son, "Kids have the thickest skin."

Hehe, the little one wants to eat now, and after eating, he wants to sleep.

It took Jing Wei almost half an hour to finish her work.

She doesn't need to watch them sleep; many people in the palace have already learned this.

Jing Wei finally resolved the issue with her son and felt much more relaxed. She sat down to chat with the Empress.

Huan Yue noticed that she was in good health and hadn't gained much weight after giving birth.

Jing Wei said, "I gained weight during my postpartum period because I ate very well. After the postpartum period, plus the autumn harvest, I lost weight quickly."

Di Baose came over and asked, "Are you still in the fields for the autumn harvest?"

Jing Wei said, "I don't handle the harvesting, but there's plenty of other work to do. This year's harvest is bountiful, and everyone wants to get their hands on the harvest. Food is more important than anything else."

Di Baose nodded, not expecting that King Zheng would cut off both of Poison's arms.

This love is deeper than the sea.

It's like breaking her leg and keeping her by your side—it's a real break.

Jing Wei said, "When I do the work, Huihui and Minglan also help out, it's quite lively."

Yu Hui said, "I started working in the fields when I was three or four years old."

Huan Yue exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing! If I were in the village, I would have been working in the fields at the age of three or four."

Yu Hui covered her mouth and laughed.

There's a long-standing saying in the family that the Pei family stole the Chang family's daughter, ruining her happiness.

How wonderful are the children from our village? Unlike the Pei family's daughters, who have all brought shame upon us.

Yu Hui is quite happy at home.
