Chapter 388: Leaving the Palace incognito



He traveled to several cities in the Maurya Empire and sold all the goods he brought with him.

Ying Zheng and his men also decided to return to Daqin, otherwise they would not be able to attack the Maurya Empire in time.

He had originally planned to go to the grassland to take a look, and Ying Zheng was also planning to go there next time, but now he just wanted to return to Daqin as soon as possible.

Not only did he learn from Zhao Qingrui that Daqin had changed a lot and was now more prosperous, but he had also met many Daqin businessmen during this period. Their descriptions of Daqin made him eager to return home.

"This steamship is really great and it's so fast. Next time we go out to travel, we will replace all the big ships with steamships." Wang Jian looked at the large steamship with envy in his eyes.

The imperial court and the Maurya Empire have had some transactions in recent years, and this large ship is also part of the imperial court's fleet.

"Well, this ship is really good." Ying Zheng looked over.

On the way back, they still took their own fleet and did not board the court's ship, and did not even reveal their identities to them.

If they revealed their identities, those people would definitely invite them over and serve them comfortably.

The return journey was much faster, not only because of the wind direction, but also because they had been away for several years and had longed to go home.

Knowing that his father was coming back, Zhao Qingrui told his brothers and sisters about this matter, and also sent someone to go to Afang Palace to tell the concubines about it.

There are not many people left in Afang Palace now.

Now that the First Emperor has abdicated, they can go out freely, do what they are interested in, and even become officials.

After the passing of the First Emperor, the women here initially thought that life was just so-so and that life was not as good as it is now.

But after he had been gone for a while, he felt bored with such days and wanted to find something to do.

In this way, some people started their own businesses, some went to work in factories, some became teachers, and some entered the court.

Some people were happy about the news that the First Emperor was coming back, while others felt confused.

They used to think that His Majesty was their heaven, but now as they have integrated into society, they have discovered that they can live well on their own, even better than when they were in the palace.

The First Emperor suddenly returned, and they were all a little unsure how to get along with him.

Zhao Qingrui didn't have time to care about what those people thought. They had to get together anyway.

Shusun Tong has already prepared all the ceremonies and is now waiting for the First Emperor to return.

Zhao Qingrui finished reviewing the government affairs, stretched himself, and finally finished the revisions. He could take a rest tomorrow.

"Shang Lian, get ready and go out with me in disguise tomorrow." Zhao Qingrui called Shang Lian and asked her to go out with him tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, where do you want to go for fun?" Shang Lian asked softly as she helped organize the memorial.

"Let's go and take a look at the suburbs. I haven't left Xianyang for several years." Zhao Qingrui looked a little dazed. After becoming an emperor, life seemed to have nothing except eating well and having power.

"Your Majesty will be going on tour next year, and you can travel around then." Shang Lian looked at Zhao Qingrui who was in a low mood and comforted him.

"How can I just have fun? I have to intimidate those people and still have daily government affairs to attend to." Zhao Qingrui curled her lips and did not have high expectations for the tour.

After all, she had accompanied her father on tours before, and those tours were even more tiring than attending court.

Although she could see the scenery outside, she didn't like the grassland and desert areas very much.

Back in the Xianyang Palace, Zhao Qingrui rubbed the fur of the two tigers, but she still felt a little lonely.

At this moment, a strong fragrance came over, and Zhao Qingrui instantly felt that her depression was cured a lot. She had collected a lot of good things a few days ago and asked the cook to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

The two tigers also looked at the palace maids who were carrying the meals. They had been wandering outside for several years and had never eaten cooked food.

After returning, Zhao Qingrui pampered them and asked the imperial chef to prepare a lot of delicious food for them.

"Greedy cat, greedier than dough." He rubbed Xiaobai's head hard.

Dough has grown into a big cat now. Maybe the food is too good. Now it is fat as a ball and doesn't like to move.

Hearing his owner calling him, Dough came over with his short legs and a body like a gas tank and rubbed against Zhao Qingrui.

The food smells delicious, so I’ll try to please my owner today.

He picked up the dough and weighed it. It seemed to have gained a little weight. Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. This won't do. He needs to exercise the dough to lose weight.

While eating delicious food, Zhao Qingrui looked through toys for cat exercise. These things were not expensive, so Zhao Qingrui bought a whole set.

His eyes fell on two big tigers that were eating voraciously not far away. It seemed that they had no need to exercise.

After a few years of being out, the muscles all over the body don't need any exercise at all.

With the new toy, Zhao Qingrui asked the palace maid to take the cat to exercise for a certain amount of time every day, in an effort to make the cat lose weight.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qingrui changed into men's clothes, held a folding fan, and turned around in the mirror. What a handsome young man he was.

"How is it? Does it look good?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian in a good mood.

"Your Majesty is handsome, elegant and suave. If you go out now, you will surely charm thousands of girls." Shang Lian said seriously.

Zhao Qingrui came over and placed the folding fan on Shang Lian's chin. "Miss Shang, have you been charmed?"

"If Your Majesty is truly a man, I am willing to serve Your Majesty for the rest of my life." Shang Lian said gently.
