Chapter 274 The best martial arts club in the world
In Daxia World, in the square in front of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and the Jinluan Palace, there is a portal emitting silver light suspended.
In the square in front of the portal, Zhao Lihe, wearing black dragon-patterned casual clothes, had his hands behind his back, chatting and laughing with the woman next to him.
Although this girl wears a emerald crown of dragons, phoenixes and pearls, and a long red skirt and sleeves embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes, her temperament is heroic and heroic. She looks more like a warrior warrior on the battlefield than the empress whose mother is the queen of the world.
There is no doubt that this is Ding Baiying, the first queen of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Behind Ding Baiying, stood a younger and more beautiful woman. She was holding two beauties as delicate as rag dolls. With her slightly bulging belly, she looked at the pioneering couple in front of her with implicit reverence. A new dynasty couple.
On her right side, Princess Zhao Yining of Daxia Anning blinked her bright eyes, carefully stretched out her little hand, and while stroking the beautiful woman's bulging belly, she asked curiously:
"Aunt Qing, when will my sister be born?"
"..." Concubine Qing came to her senses and said with a gentle smile, "It will take more than four months!"
"Ah, will it take so long?" Zhao Yining looked disappointed, "Can't I give birth tomorrow?"
Hearing his sister's words, Zhao Yian next to him rolled his eyes and said angrily: "A mother can only give birth to an heir after ten months of pregnancy. Did you forget what sir said so quickly?"
Zhao Yining pursed his lips: "Of course I remember, but isn't my father the reincarnation of the Divine Lord? His bloodline must be somewhat magical!"
Zhao Yian retorted again: "That will only be more, not less - have you forgotten the story of the third prince Nezha? He stayed in his mother's belly for a full three years and six months before he was born! "
Zhao Yining thought about it and felt that this was the truth. He immediately backed down and said: "Okay, forget it, ten months is good!"
Hearing the childish but coherent conversation between the two villains beside her, Concubine Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Regarding the matter of being pregnant with Long Zi, she was more worried about the attitudes of Prince An and Princess Ning than Empress Ding who personally sent her to Zhao Li's bed. As long as they didn't object, her child's future destiny would definitely be happiness. of.
That's right, Miss Qing'er, who was rescued home by Zhao Lihe and adopted as a personal maid by Ding Baiying, was eventually admitted to the harem by Zhao Lihe.
However, this has nothing to do with Zhao Lihe's own wishes. It is mainly the wishes of Queen Ding and the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
After all, this world was built from the ruins of the late Ming Dynasty. Although it received help from many other worlds in terms of material aspects, it was still in the feudal dynasty era of the late Ming Dynasty in terms of spirit and concepts.
When the emperor of this era only had one queen and a pair of children, the issue of heirs and inheritance became the top priority of the court.
Not only that, if Zhao Lihe had always insisted on monogamy, those ministers in the DPRK who had already taken wives and concubines would also feel embarrassed.
Public opinion may not dare to blame the emperor, but it will portray Queen Ding as a jealous woman.
Zhao Lihe could ignore the court's voice, but he could not sit back and watch his wife's reputation be ruined by public opinion, so he half-heartedly accepted Miss Qing and made her a noble concubine.
After that, the Great Xia Dynasty had a queen and a concubine. If anyone dared to use this matter to attack the queen, Zhao Lihe would not be merciful.
Back to the subject, Zhao Yi'an and Zhao Yining were still whispering about their sister's future name, but Concubine Qing noticed a faint ripple on the silver light portal in front of her.
coming soon!
Concubine Qing hurriedly tugged on their little hands and whispered: "Okay, Zuo Shenjun will be here soon!"
Brother and sister Zhao Yian and Zhao Yining's eyes suddenly lit up. They quickly raised their heads and looked at the silver light portal expectantly.
Soon, a black Audi drove out of the portal.
Zhao Yian immediately cheered, let go of Concubine Qing's hand, ran over, and skillfully opened the car door for Zuo Yu.
Zuo Yu got down from the driver's seat, smiled and rubbed Zhao Yian's head, gave him a moving Gundam toy, and then looked at Duoduo, who was a little nervous in the passenger seat.
"Come down!" Zuo Yu said with a chuckle, "This is your Uncle Zhao's home!"
"..."
Duoduo blinked and got out of the car with some hesitation.
Before she could hide behind Zuo Yu, Ding Baiying smiled and took her hand, gently arranging the messy hair on her shoulders.
Duoduo had never been treated like this by a mature woman since she was born. She immediately lowered her head shyly, revealing the fair skin on the back of her neck.
Ding Baiying smiled slightly, put his hand on her back, and applied a little force: "Put your chest up and your head up. Girls, it's easy for everyone. If you lower your head and hold your breasts like this, there will be problems with your posture and temperament in the future..."
Feeling the gentle strength behind her and hearing the gentle words in her ears, Duoduo raised her head unconsciously.
Ding Baiying immediately praised: "This child is so well-behaved. It will be great when my An'er can be so well-behaved..."
Ding Baiying's usual method is to distance herself from other children by belittling her own children.
Zhao Yian had long been used to it and ignored it at all. He was still happily playing with his Gundam toy, seemingly not affected at all.
Looking at the gentle smile on Ding Baiying's face, Duoduo blinked twice and gradually relaxed her guard.
Seeing this, Zuo Yu quietly gave a thumbs up. She was indeed a wife who had raised her two older children with her own hands. She was indeed experienced in dealing with children.
Ding Baiying smiled slightly, held Duoduo's little hand, looked at Zhao Lihe and Zuo Yu and said with a smile: "Leave Duoduo and the children to me. If you have anything to do, you can talk among yourself!"
After saying that, Ding Baiying took Duoduo's little hand, grabbed Zhao Yian's brother and sister and Concubine Qing with a bulging belly, and turned to leave.
Zuo Yu gave Duoduo, who was looking back, a reassuring look, then looked at Concubine Qing's back and said, "Congratulations, the little princess of Daxia will be born soon, right?"
"There are still more than four months..."
Zhao Lihe said with a smile, obviously looking forward to the birth of his little daughter.
Zhao Yian and Zhao Yining are both nine years old this year. They are a little rebellious when they were young. They are not as cute as they were when they were children. The original caring little cotton-padded jackets have gradually begun to leak out.
Some time ago, Zhao Yian even encouraged his sister to secretly shave off his beard while he was practicing.
"Fortunately, I still have some paternal authority. An'er and Ningning don't dare to take action. Otherwise, I don't know whether I should catch them..."
Hearing Zhao Lihe's depressing words, Zuo Yu laughed loudly: "Who keeps you thinking about giving them a normal family and childhood? If you had treated your family like royalty earlier, how dare An'er and Ningning do this to you? Such a thing?"
"Of course I don't dare."
Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "But it's good like this now. It's more like a family. If it really turns out to be deserted, that would be boring."
"It's already very deserted!" Zuo Yu looked at the Jinluan Palace in front of him and said with a smile, "In such a big palace, your family only lives there, so no matter how harmonious the family relationship is, it will still be deserted!"
Zhao Lihe sighed after hearing this and said depressedly: "You don't know something. I originally planned to move out of the palace and open it as a tourist attraction, but the ministers in the court, both new officials and old literati, expressed strong opposition. Even Bai Ying, who has always listened to me, started crying with me, saying that she would not allow me to turn the palace into a tourist attraction."
"I can't help it. I'm a soft-hearted person. I can't see Bai Ying like this, so I can only let her go..."
Zuo Yu said with a smile: "Take your time. It's not that easy to change your mind. Let's start with compulsory education for all."
While chatting, the two walked into the Jinluan Palace. The royal guards guarding the Jinluan Palace had already been dismissed by Zhao Lihe.
At this time, there was no one in the Jinluan Hall except Zhao Lihe and Zuo Yu.
Zuo Yu sat down on the dragon chair and curiously picked up the slip on the gold plate next to him.
"……What's this?"
"The proposal submitted by Pan Yunpeng this morning."
Zhao Lihe didn't have the image of an emperor at all. He leaned against the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Since this kid was responsible for cross-border transactions under one person, he didn't know what nonsense he read, and he actually suggested that I hold a meeting for the world's best martial arts. meeting!"
Zuo Yu looked strange: "The best martial arts club in the world?"
"That's right!" Zhao Lihe said with a smile, "As you know, the situation in Daxia is different from that of China. We were exposed to technology and extraordinary power that far exceeded this world too early, which caused the technology tree to be a bit crooked. Public opinion in the DPRK and China is also divided into two extremes, some believe that supernatural power is supreme, while others believe that technology is the mainstream in the world."
"After deliberation, the Ministry of Education decided to divide the civil and military subjects according to the old rules. Literary scholars are scholars who major in subjects such as literature, philosophy, and natural sciences, while martial arts are scholars who major in various supernatural powers in the world and minor in cultural subjects."
"The way to select liberal arts students is naturally through examinations, but martial arts is not that simple. That's why Lao Pan suggested that I hold a martial arts conference as a way to select future martial arts students..."
Zuo Yu wondered: "It should be the National Youth Martial Arts Conference. How can it be the best martial arts conference in the world?"
Zhao Lihe smiled and said: "Because this is the first class, we should flex our muscles first and encourage those talented martial arts students..."
