"Tell my father that there is no wine." Zhao Qingrui still wanted to drink, but looked at Zhao Gao coldly.
Zhao Gao looked at Zhao Qingrui in embarrassment, "Your Highness, His Majesty hasn't had a drink this month, what do you think?"
"There's no more wine. He drank up all the wine he had for the past six months last month." Zhao Qingrui picked up his pen and continued to review the memorial.
"Your Majesty, I will report to you right away." Seeing Zhao Qingrui's stubborn look, he knew that he couldn't get any wine from Zhao Qingrui.
This is all the fault of Your Majesty. Last month, he secretly ran into Zhao Qingrui's wine cellar and took away a lot of wine.
When Zhao Qingrui sent someone to look for him, he was already drunk in Wangyi Palace.
Zhao Qingrui originally intended to give these wines to Fusu and the others, and his father also had a share, but unfortunately he couldn't wait and took most of the wine away.
This made Zhao Qingrui very angry, and she stopped giving him alcohol for half a year.
"Go and tell Father that if he's too idle, there are still many memorials that need him to handle."
"promise."
In Shanglin Garden, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed with embarrassment when he saw that Zhao Gao did not get any wine.
"This girl is so bold, huh, she makes me so angry." Ying Zheng slammed his hand on the table to express his dissatisfaction.
Wang Ben sat silently aside, pretending that he saw nothing. His Majesty was really going too far. He actually used him as an excuse just to have a drink.
Well, he also wanted to drink the liquor and licked his lips silently.
"Go ahead, Fusu should have quite a few. Go ask Fusu for two jars of wine." Ying Zheng stood up and walked around the hall twice. He clenched his fist and clapped it on his palm, then looked at Zhao Gao and said.
Seeing that His Majesty shamelessly focused his attention on Prince Fusu, Wang Ben couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"Your Majesty, why not just forget it?" Wang Ben suggested.
"That won't do. I haven't had a drink for more than half a month." Ying Zheng shook his head.
Zhao Gao took the order again and went to the Censorate.
Fusu was very surprised to see Zhao Gao.
"Why is the Zhao Mansion Governor here at the Censorate?" Fusu asked curiously.
"I'm here for Prince Fusu," Zhao Gao said, bowing.
"For me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty wants to drink some wine. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave some to the young master, and Your Majesty asked you for some." Zhao Gao hurriedly stated the purpose of his visit.
When Fusu heard the purpose of Zhao Gao's visit, he looked helpless.
"I do have some wine and drinks that my younger sister sent me, but she has already told us that since the emperor is asking for the wine and drinks, we cannot give them to him." Fusu chuckled.
His current father made him feel more like an ordinary father, rather than the aloof and unapproachable emperor.
Zhao Gao widened his eyes, speechless.
"Just tell father the truth, Zhao Fuling. Father will definitely not make things difficult for you." Looking at the shocked Zhao Gao, Fusu said gently.
After seeing Zhao Gao off, Fusu touched his chin. He didn't like drinking and would only drink a little during banquets.
He carefully hid the wine and drinks that his younger sister gave him.
Seeing that your Majesty misses it so much, how about I take some out to try when I get back?
After hearing what Zhao Gao said, Ying Zheng was completely stunned.
Now that he has lost weight and has practiced physical training, he is stronger than a bull, so he is not very restrained in eating, drinking and matters related to his harem.
Now he has to be controlled by his daughter, which gives Ying Zheng a headache.
Of course, he could directly order Zhao Qingrui to get these things, but if he really did that, his daughter would probably ignore him.
"Forget it, it's just some wine. There are other wines in the palace. Send some over." Ying Zheng waved his hand and sighed.
The wine was served. Ying Zheng picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. He frowned. The taste of this wine was far worse than the wine brewed by his daughter.
Wang Ben was not so picky. These wines were much better than those in the army, and it was good enough to just drink some.
On the other side, Zhao Qingrui was watching Li Si's report on the construction of the East Palace.
"Your Highness, the Eastern Palace is the residence of the Crown Prince. It is not appropriate for you to live in the Xuanyi Palace." Li Si said seriously. Although he admired the Legalists, he still attached great importance to etiquette.
"With a budget of over a million yuan, how magnificent is the East Palace going to be built?" Zhao Qingrui said helplessly. Even if the national treasury had money, it wouldn't be built like this. She also wanted to build a school, and her father still had to fight wars. Every part of the Qin Dynasty needed money to operate.
"This is already my best attempt to save money. The status of the Eastern Palace is second only to the Xianyang Palace, and there are many things that cannot be saved."
"Your Highness, do you have any requirements for the palace in the Eastern Palace?" Li Si looked at Zhao Qingrui and asked. These were all necessary expenses.
"Just build it according to the standards." Zhao Qingrui shook his head.
Li Si looked at Zhao Qingrui and sighed inwardly, knowing that she didn't care about the Eastern Palace.
If it were any other emperor or prince, who wouldn't want to make their residence prosperous? But this prince was fine, as long as it was livable.
Of course, although Zhao Qingrui said so, they didn't dare to be so casual.
He also asked in detail about some matters concerning the construction of the East Palace. Zhao Qingrui had to live comfortably.
After Li Si finished dealing with the construction of the East Palace, Shusun Tong came again to discuss various matters regarding the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
Offering sacrifices to heaven and announcing to the world, every step is extremely complicated, which makes Zhao Qingrui frown. After all this, even if her body is far superior to that of an ordinary person, she will probably collapse from exhaustion, right?
“So many steps?”
"These are the proper etiquettes, and not a single step can be missed." Shusun Tong instantly understood Zhao Qingrui's thoughts.
"Okay, I know everything." He nodded and put a big seal on it with a headache.
After seeing off Shusun Tong, Feng Quji brought the arrangements for official assessments and Li Xin's memorial. Li Xin was going to take the new recruits away, and there were many things he needed to take with him, all of which needed to be reported.
Things were all piled up at once. Zhao Qingrui rubbed her brows. Daddy made her the crown prince just to throw this mess on her!
In addition to these things, there are a lot of miscellaneous things.
The construction of the Eastern Palace was taken over by the Minister of Works, who quickly formed a large construction team, and the construction of the Eastern Palace began in full swing.
The day of the assessment soon arrived, and Zhao Qingrui directly canceled the court meeting that day.
The gate of the palace slowly opened, and those who came to take the exam walked into the palace in order, holding the admission tickets issued by the court.
Zhao Qingrui and Ying Zheng stood on the top of the Que Tower, looking at the countless people taking the test below.
"With so many people participating, there will definitely be more people participating in the future. Father, how about setting up a large examination hall outside the palace? If so many people come into the palace to take the exam, what if something unexpected happens?" Zhao Qingrui frowned.
