Two months later.
"Jiang Zhuo, I hate you!"
Shen Qing suffered a severe postpartum hemorrhage and was finally brought back from the brink of death. Since then, Jiang Zhuo has restricted her from going out, fearing that she might have another mishap.
The sun was shining brightly. Shen Qing sat by the window, gazing at the scenery outside, and sighed for the nineteenth time of the day. She turned to look at Jiang Zhuo, who was sitting beside her handling government affairs, a sly glint in her eyes.
Shen Qing walked lightly to Jiang Zhuo's side and said in a gentle voice, "Master Jiang, I'm almost getting sick from being bored in this room. Please let me go out for a walk."
As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Zhuo's sleeve and shook it gently.
Jiang Zhuo didn't even raise his head, and said firmly: "No, you haven't fully recovered yet."
Jiang Zhuo had long been accustomed to her move, and he had now become a ninja.
"Oh, I'm fine now! Look, I've gained a lot of weight recently!" Shen Qing pinched the flesh on his face and mouth, looking at Jiang Zhuo pitifully.
He turned to look at her, "I don't think so!"
"You still remember that you are a minister!" Shen Qing stood up suddenly and pointed at Jiang Zhuo, "I order you to immediately prepare a carriage to take me to the restaurant for drinks and music, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
"You're welcome?" Jiang Zhuo looked at Shen Qing with a smile, "Then Your Majesty, just chop off my head."
“You…” Shen Qing was speechless.
How could he be so shameless? He wouldn't take any bait or push?
Seeing this, Shen Qing put his hands on his hips and said, "If you don't let me out, I will ignore you!"
Jiang Zhuo reluctantly put down the memorial in his hand and looked at her: "Qingqing, this is for your own good."
Shen Qing blinked hard, squeezed out two tears, and began to play the victim: "Master Jiang, you see I'm in this room every day, I'm almost going crazy, can you bear to see me suffer like this?"
Jiang Zhuo didn't say anything, as if he was moved by her words.
Shen Qing's eyes lit up, she leaned in Jiang Zhuo's arms and said coquettishly: "Master Jiang, I beg you, just for a little while, I promise not to run around."
"It's very cold outside, how about I have someone send He An over for you to play with?"
Jiang Hean is their son and their daughter is Jiang Siyao.
"Oh, I don't want to play with him. I want to go out! I want to go out!"
"No." Jiang Zhuo still refused.
"Jiang Zhuo, I hate you!"
Shen Qing returned to the couch angrily and began to read.
Jiang Zhuo stood up, walked to her side, and coaxed her softly, "I've ordered someone to build you a special carriage that can protect you from wind and cold. Once it's finished, I'll let you go, okay?"
"How long will it take?" she asked with a pout.
"It mainly requires special materials that need to be brought in from the Western Regions. Will it take about a month?"
"Haha, why don't you wait until I die before you finish it?" Chen Qing said expressionlessly, "Isn't Chun Ye in the Western Regions? Is he a waste! He hasn't even succeeded in seizing power yet?"
"On the second day after you gave birth, while you were still unconscious, the civil unrest in the Western Regions was quelled, and the Western Regions' eldest prince ascended the throne. It's just that they've been trying to restore social order these past few days, and Chun Ye is probably busy with that as well."
Shen Qing rolled his eyes.
She was so hesitant. She said at that time that she would lead the troops to pacify the Western Regions directly, so there is no need to go through so much trouble now.
"Just bear with it a little longer, dear."
…
Fengsheng has also been rebuilt. The information department is divided into four major levels, and each level is divided into seven teams, named according to the twenty-eight constellations.
Scar and his men were also arranged by Shen Qing to join Fengsheng and become intelligence agents.
Under the personal control of Emperor Shen Qing of Dongli, Fengsheng's intelligence agents covered the entire Dongli in just one year, and took another two years to infiltrate most areas of the other countries.
Chun Ye finally settled the matter in the Western Regions and came from there with great fanfare, bringing betrothal gifts and asking for Bai Runyi's hand in marriage. He also said that he would not force her, and if she did not want to go to the Western Regions, his betrothal gifts would be her dowry, and he would marry into Dongli's family.
Bai Runyi said that she didn't want to stay in one place for the rest of her life. Shikoku is so big, she wanted to travel around.
Guard Chun Ye is still a guard, and he goes out to explore the world with his eldest daughter.
Under Shen Qing's meticulous governance, the Kingdom of Dongli experienced unprecedented prosperity.
In the vast farmlands, wheat waves rise and fall like a golden ocean, and crisscrossing irrigation channels bring clear water into every inch of land.
During the harvest season, the mountains of grain not only met domestic demand, but also provided surplus reserves to prepare for years of disaster.
Shops lined the broad, flat streets. In silk shops, colorful silks and satins captivated the attention of noble ladies; in jewelry stores, dazzling gemstones captivated the senses; in restaurants and teahouses, guests filled the halls, laughter and joy filled the air.
Merchants from all over the world speak with different accents and trade all kinds of rare goods. The prosperous business activities make the city full of vitality and vigor.
Countless schools were built and completed, and brand new institutions of learning stood in the urban villages. Regardless of whether they came from poor or rich backgrounds, children could receive instruction from the teachers.
She truly made a mark in history.
…
In the Imperial Garden.
Sunlight filtered through dense branches and leaves, casting subtle shadows. Beneath a large, leafy tree, a simple swing swayed gently.
Chen Qing was wearing a green long dress, lying lazily on the swing, her eyes slightly closed, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if immersed in a beautiful dream.
Not far away, a little boy and a little girl were playing and laughing among the flowers. The little boy was holding a branch and waving it like a sword, while the little girl was carrying a small basket and picking colorful flowers.
