Group Outing

Listening to Wang Er's words, everyone present could not help but feel their blood boil with excitement.

Even civil officials like Li Si and Feng Quji were infected by the enthusiasm, wishing they could immediately mount their horses and ride into battle.

"Good, good, good!"

Qin Shi Huang looked at Zhu Di. "Watering horses in the vast sea, conferring honors at Mount Langjuxu—if I had a son like this, I would surely entrust the Great Qin empire to him. It is a pity that Fusu..."

"Brother Zheng... uh, no..."

Zhu Di spoke up, suddenly feeling that calling him Brother Zheng was a bit inappropriate. He had previously heard Xia Fei say that his own imperial father addressed the other party this way. If he also called him brother, wouldn't the generational hierarchy be a mess?

Wouldn't that be the equivalent of calling his own imperial father a brother?

If his imperial father found out about this, he would probably whip him again.

He hastily corrected himself, "Your Majesty the First Emperor, although Fusu is influenced by Confucianism, he can still be changed; it is just a matter of time. If all else fails, you can send him to my Great Ming to learn how to govern a country from my eldest brother."

"I have noted this down. I will definitely have Fusu take a trip to the Great Ming," Ying Zheng nodded seriously.

Then he looked at Wang Er again. "Sir, I remember you mentioning before that after Qin comes Han. The Han Dynasty must also have many incredible figures, right? Just like the General of Hussars, Huo Qubing, whom you just mentioned. I wonder where he is now?"

Obviously, Qin Shi Huang was once again moved by his appreciation for talent.

Previously, Qin Ning had given him a list, and he had already sent Zhang Han to personally look for Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and the others.

Now it seemed that he could not miss out on this Huo Qubing either.

"Brother Zheng, you can forget about the Marquis of Champion. He is a figure from the era of Emperor Wu of Han, separated by almost a hundred years," Wang Er said.

"That is truly a pity."

Qin Shi Huang sighed slightly, then continued, "Please, sir, tell us more about the events after the Great Qin. I am very interested in this."

"Sure, if Brother Zheng wants to hear it, I will tell you," Wang Er said with a smile.

That night, the lights in the hall did not go out. Starting from Qin Er Shi, Wang Er discussed the subsequent history in detail with everyone.

When he learned about Zhao Gao and idioms like pointing at a deer and calling it a horse, Ying Zheng flew into a rage and immediately ordered someone to go to the death row cells to give Zhao Gao a severe whipping.

...

The next day.

In the modern-day villa.

Early in the morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma arrived excitedly at Qin Ning's place. "Sir, she gave birth, she gave birth! Girl Chang has given birth, and thanks to the amulet you gave, both mother and son are safe and sound."

"That is good." Qin Ning, who was having breakfast with Qin Fei and the others, smiled and nodded.

"Old Zhu, Auntie Ma, have you eaten yet? Why don't you sit down and have some with us?" Jiang Yanran offered.

Empress Ma politely declined, "No need, dear. Chongba and I have already eaten. We just came over specifically to thank the sir."

"Auntie, are Xiongying and Gaochi awake yet? Today is Children's Day! Last night, Sister Yanran and I discussed it, and we plan to take Sizi, Xiongying, and the others out to play," Qin Fei said.

"They are already awake, and I just saw them packing candies into their small backpacks. So it turns out they are going out to play with you all," Empress Ma said.

Jiang Yanran said, "Why don't you come along? You have been to the future so many times, but it seems you have never left this villa area. You might as well take this opportunity to go out and have fun with us. I will go call Empress Zhangsun in a bit."

"This..."

Empress Ma hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I won't go. Girl Chang just gave birth, so I need to go back and take care of her."

"It is fine, Auntie. Go and bring Sister Chang along too. She has never been to the future yet, right? Later, I will have my brother send over some tea leaves. A couple of cups and she will be fine. Besides, she still has the amulet my brother gave her, so there won't be any problems," Qin Fei said.

Hearing this, Empress Ma fell slightly silent before finally nodding. "Alright, Girl Chang has also mentioned a few times before that she wanted to come and see the future. Since that is the case, I will go back now and bring her over."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ning took out some tea leaves and handed them to Empress Ma, telling her to take them back and brew two cups for Lady Chang. After drinking it, she would be full of vigor and vitality.

Not long after Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang left, Li Lizhi arrived with Sizi, Chengyang, and Ying Yinman, the three little girls. Accompanying them was a young girl about the same age as Li Lizhi.

"Yuzhang greets all the older sisters." She bowed politely to Qin Fei and the others.

This was Princess Yuzhang. She had just come over from the Great Tang for the first time last night. Having slept here for one night, she felt that everything was incredibly novel.

Yuzhang was unfortunate. She was born to a concubine, and her biological mother had died of complications during childbirth when she was born.

But at the same time, she was fortunate.

Because Princess Yuzhang was deeply loved by Empress Zhangsun, she had been kept by the Empress's side and raised personally since she was a child, treated no differently than a biological daughter.

"Little Mister."

Ying Yinman came to Qin Ning's side and reached out her hands, asking for a hug.

Qin Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He casually picked her up and then said, "Why has Yinman started copying Sizi? You have to call me Big Brother from now on, understand?"

"Understood, Little Mister," she nodded obediently.

Compared to Ying Yinman, Sizi and Chengyang had their eyes fixed on the breakfast on the table, which included steaming hot steamed buns and lean meat porridge.

"Little Mister, Sizi wants to eat."

"I want to eat too," Chengyang chimed in.

Li Lizhi spoke up, "Sizi, Chengyang, didn't you just eat? You can't eat too much in the morning, or you will get a stomachache, and then your older sister will have to take you to get a shot."

Hearing this, the two little ones almost burst into tears.

Recently, Li Lizhi had taken them to the hospital a few times to get vaccinated, so they certainly knew what getting a shot meant.

"It is fine, you can eat a little more."

Qin Ning smiled and brought over three small bowls, serving a small portion of meat porridge for Sizi, Chengyang, and Yinman respectively.

And just as the three little ones were happily eating, Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun also arrived.

Following closely behind them was Old Zhu's family, namely Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Lady Chang, and the newborn Zhu Yuntong, as well as Zhu Gaochi, Prince of Xiang Zhu Bai, Zhu Xiongying, Xu Miaoyun, and her younger sister Xu Miaojin.

"You guys are going too?" Qin Ning was taken aback for a moment, looking at Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Of course. It is rare to go out, so we definitely have to look around at the sights of this future era. Over in the Great Ming, the Grand Secretariat and Biao'er are keeping an eye on things, so as the emperor, I am quite idle every day now," Zhu Chongba said with a chuckle.

Qin Ning shook his head helplessly. "In history, Zhu Biao was worked to death. Even now that you have the Grand Secretariat, you still haven't let him off the hook."

"Don't worry, he won't be overworked. Compared to before, Biao'er has it very easy now," Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Li Shimin asked, "Sir, where are we going to play today? Are we taking an airplane again this time?"

When he had first arrived, Qin Ning had taken him out to play once, and they had taken an airplane.

"We are taking an airplane, but I am not sure about the itinerary. It was all planned out by Xiao Fei and the others; I am just tagging along," Qin Ning replied.
