It was His Majesty who took her in and gave her a home. She will never forget His Majesty's kindness in her life.
"It seems that this young master has extraordinary charm." He narcissistically opened his folding fan and fanned it in a pretentiously romantic manner.
"It's been a long time since I saw Your Majesty so happy." Shang Lian said gently. There were more and more affairs in the court, and the smiles on His Majesty's face were becoming less and less. He often had an expressionless look, very similar to the former First Emperor.
Compared to being an emperor, Shang Lian still felt that His Majesty was more likable when he was at Jingshui Pavilion.
She only feels distressed for His Majesty now.
"Haha, really? Then I will smile more in the future. Let's go." Zhao Qingrui said indifferently, and then strode out.
Xianyang City was even more lively. Zhao Qingrui took Shang Lian for a leisurely stroll. Perhaps because her makeup was too successful today, Zhao Qingrui passed by several court officials on the street, and none of them recognized her.
There are many students coming and going in the city. Today is a holiday, and they all ran out. It seems that they are uncomfortable being locked up in the classroom.
There are many shops selling various snacks on the street, as well as many restaurants. The aroma of food is lingering in the air, and Zhao Qingrui feels a little hungry just by smelling it.
"What do you want to eat? I'll take you there." Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian.
"I eat whatever the young master eats." Shang Lian is not picky about food.
"Then let's go eat mutton." I haven't eaten mutton for a while and I miss it a little.
When we arrived at the largest restaurant in Xianyang, it was almost noon. There were many people eating and the lobby was already full.
Fortunately, there are still seats available in the private room upstairs.
It is good to build a building, as it can accommodate more people.
The fishy smell of the mutton soup was very clear and the taste was very fresh. Zhao Qingrui liked the mutton soup of this family very much.
While eating mutton soup, I enjoyed the lively scene outside.
She still remembered when she first arrived in Xianyang. Although Xianyang was the capital at that time, everything was very backward and there were few people coming and going.
It’s not like now, with people coming and going, making it the worthy center of the Qin Dynasty.
"What's the situation at Jingshui Pavilion?" Zhao Qingrui's gaze fell on Shang Lian.
"Your Majesty, Jingshui Pavilion is doing very well now. Steward Liu has taken good care of the Zhao Mansion over there. There is no grain grown on the farm anymore, but many fruit trees have been planted..." Shang Lian spoke in detail.
Jingshui Pavilion is where Your Majesty grew up. No one dares to act rashly in Jingshui Pavilion.
"I haven't been back for several years. After my father comes back, I will go back to see him." Zhao Qingrui was planning to go back to his hometown to see him. He missed it a lot.
"I will make arrangements by then, Your Majesty, please feel free to travel." Shang Lian said seriously.
"Yeah." Zhao Qingrui nodded. "By the way, regarding you and Chu Yan, when are you going to get married?"
Shang Lian and Chu Yan have wasted several years, and Zhao Qingrui really wants to act as a matchmaker.
When Shang Lian heard Zhao Qingrui mention this, her face turned red. She didn't expect that His Majesty was still concerned about her private life.
"We've already agreed to get married at the end of this year." Shang Lian said softly, her voice a little shy, completely unlike the image of a strong woman at work.
"Tsk tsk, you are finally getting married. When you get married, I will give you a big gift." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shang Lian did not refuse and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
"Eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Zhao Qingrui smiled indifferently and quickly invited Shang Lian to eat.
She actually likes to have someone eat with her, it makes the atmosphere more lively.
When I was in the palace, although there were many kinds of delicious food, it was a little too quiet.
Every time she ate, she especially missed the excitement of eating with her father.
In the past, when she was at Jingshui Pavilion, she basically ate alone. After arriving in Xianyang, she often ate with her father. She was used to it, but it was a bit difficult to go back to her old habits.
After the meal, Zhao Qingrui felt a little full.
Walking leisurely towards the suburbs, Xianyang became more prosperous. Zhao Qingrui sighed in his heart, but also felt proud. It was all because of his own efforts that the current changes have come about.
I don’t know what’s happening in other parts of the Qin Dynasty, and I don’t know if there is any deception or concealment of the truth.
Daqin has become much richer in recent years, but it has also spawned many problems. Zhao Qingrui can only make improvements bit by bit at present, not daring to do anything too drastic, and is also working hard to make the established system more suitable for the development of Daqin.
After I finish touring the grasslands and places like Gojoseon next year, I will find an opportunity to go out incognito.
If you want to go out on a secret visit, you have to choose the regent from the court.
At present, none of the descendants of the royal family satisfy her. It would be better to give the important task of regent to the six ministers and the cabinet than to let them act as regents.
Although she is still young, she feels a little anxious and worried about the future heir of the Qin Dynasty.
If those people are not capable, then I can only give birth to one myself.
However, it takes too much time to give birth to a child, raise him, and train him to be a qualified heir.
If she were asked to stay in the Xianyang Palace for another ten or twenty years, she felt she might go crazy.
After a lot of random thoughts in my mind, I finally arrived at the suburbs.
There are quite a lot of people here. Even in the afternoon, there are still many people in the small market, and everyone has a happy smile on their face.
Zhao Qingrui was also unconsciously infected. It was great that there were very few people who starved to death in Daqin now. From the summary submitted by the Ministry of Households, Zhao Qingrui knew that Daqin was developing steadily.
