When he walked into the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Min Ruoying paused for a moment, relieved her decadent mood for a moment, forcibly gathered a little smile on her face, and then she stepped in.

The Empress Dowager's health has been getting worse every year. Now she basically doesn't leave the bedroom. Only when the weather is sunny can she slept in two circles in the small garden outside the bedroom. Her favorite now is to stay with her grandchildren, but Min Ruoying's eldest son is fifteen years old and has already entered school. Not only do she have to follow the prince's tutor to learn to govern the country, but she also has to follow the martial arts master to practice martial arts. She only comes to the Queen Mother's bedroom to pay tribute every day in the evening. Fortunately, the youngest son born by the Imperial Concubine is now learning to walk, so she has become the happiest thing for the Queen Mother to pass the time.

The most regrettable thing about the old lady was that she never saw her grandson and granddaughter again. The two little guys were both born in Shangjing City, but after going to the Ming Dynasty, it took seven or eight years to see her again.

In ordinary families, such things are rare, but between the royal families who are in harmony with each other, this situation is no longer ordinary. The Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Wu, is the only son of Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to come to Chu State.

The only thing that comforted the old lady was that her daughter had found an excellent home. Emperor Ming Qin Feng had not even accepted a concubine so far. Min Ruoxi could be said to have been pampered with thousands of people and had a son by her side. The old lady was not worried about whether she was doing well.

This time, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Shangjing. Although the envoys were harsh and ruthless in the court, they were very obedient when they arrived in front of the old lady. The envoy brought the filial piety of his daughter and son-in-law, from some rare treasures to flavored snacks, there were all kinds of things.

The old lady felt very satisfied. Her son was the emperor of Chu and her daughter was the queen of Ming. They were all the most noble people in the world. The old man had passed away for a long time. The old man thought that his son and daughter were living well, which was the happiest thing.

As for the state affairs between Ming and Chu, the old lady didn't want to know or didn't want to know. She was born in a royal family and was not unfamiliar with things between the country. Her only hope was that in her lifetime, there would be no big fight between her son and daughter.

Everything seems to be fine now. The Ming Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty formed an anti-Qi alliance. In recent years, the Chu State has not been in good condition. On the one hand, it is necessary to recover the six eastern counties, and on the other hand, it is necessary to deal with the endless rebellion incidents in China. From the words of the palace servants, the old lady probably knew that the Ming State had been strongly supporting the Chu State, from money to weapons, everything. This made her feel very comforted. Ruoying and Ruoxi were still brothers and sisters after all, and their blood was thicker than water.

The envoy sat quietly at the lower head and carefully answered the Queen Mother's question. Before going out, he naturally did his homework. Min Ruoxi also knew that the old lady was most concerned about now, probably her grandson and granddaughter, so she made some arrangements for the envoy. At this moment, under the description of the envoy, a lively and active prince and a quiet and elegant prince appeared in front of the old lady, and the old lady was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

"I don't know if I can see these two good grandchildren of mine!" The old lady sighed and turned to look in Yuejing City, with sadness in her eyes.

"Empress Dowager, before leaving, the Empress Dowager specifically instructed him that if the Empress Dowager is willing, the Ming Dynasty would welcome the Empress Dowager to stay in Yuejing for a while." The envoy bowed with a smile.

"Go to Yuejing to live?" The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, "Do your Majesty agree?"

"When the Empress ordered the minister, Your Majesty sat aside and said that a son-in-law was half a son, but he had never fulfilled his filial piety. As long as the Emperor was willing, Your Majesty would not be able to ask for it!"

"Jia'er and good wife!" The Empress Dowager smiled happily, but her smile lasted for a short moment: "It's a pity that the Ai family's body can't stand the long journey. They can only stay in the bedroom every day. If they just walk a few more steps, they feel that their body can't stand it."

"It's okay!" The envoy smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know anything. This time, there is a carriage among the tributes brought to the Empress Dowager by the foreign minister. This carriage adopts the latest technology of our Ming Dynasty. People can't feel much bumpy when sitting in it. Moreover, this carriage requires eight horses to be dragged. It is huge, just like a small room, and all the living things can be prepared very well."

"You are a person who can speak, but the Ai family knows that no matter what kind of carriage it is, you will feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time." The Empress Dowager laughed: "But the Ai family has won the hearts of their husbands."

"Empress Dowager, our Majesty and Empress Dowager are very sincere. In the past, we were very tired when riding a carriage. In addition to the factors of the carriage, another reason was that the roads were bumpy. Now, the main transportation roads in our country in Ming Dynasty have been prepared to harden them with cement. Your Majesty said that if the Empress Dowager is willing to go to Yuejing, then put down other roads and not repair them. First, build such a main road, and build them from Yuejing to Shangjing." The envoy said with a smile.

"What is cement?" The Queen Mother was puzzled.

"When I go back to the Queen Mother, cement is a building material invented by our Ming Dynasty craftsmen. Usually, it looks like something like ash powder. However, after mixing it with sand, small stone seeds and water, it can solidify in a very short time. It is harder than stones. What's more important is that it can shape it at will. Now the roads across the capital are as flat as the stone slabs in the Taihuang's bedroom!"

"There are such good things?" the empress dowager asked in surprise: "That must be very expensive. How much would it cost to build a road from Yuejing to Shangjing? For the sake of the Ai family's little wish, it would not be possible to spend so much money on national efforts."

"The Empress Dowager is too worried." The envoy said with a smile: "Since this thing is used to build roads, how can it be expensive? It is very cheap. Now our Ming Dynasty is ready to use this cement to build all the main roads in China. In one sentence, the Empress Dowager was just to modify the original order of road construction. Even in the Great Chu country, our Majesty said that we are willing to build it for free. As long as we can make the Empress Dowager happy, everything is worth it."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was very moved.

"Empress Dowager, every time the foreign minister comes to Chu, I feel the most inconvenient is that the traffic on this road is too far from that of my Ming Dynasty. As the Queen Mother said, riding a horse and a horse is really a chore. As the Queen Mother said, riding a horse and a horse is a man, but the two sides cannot bear it. Every time I come, I will suffer once! If the Queen Mother agrees to live in Yuejing, the Ming Dynasty will be willing to build a great road for the Chu State. Not only can the Queen Mother travel without any burden, but it can also benefit the millions of people in the Chu State. This is also a merit!"

"This is a good thing." The Empress Dowager said happily: "But it is not a small matter for the Ai family to leave the capital. You need to discuss it with the emperor! Let's talk about it, let's talk about it!"

"Yes, the empress is obeyed the order, and the foreign minister will report this matter to His Majesty the emperor and ask His Majesty to consider the feasibility of this matter." The envoy achieved his goal and smiled happily.

Min Ruoying, who had been listening outside the door for a while, could no longer listen. What was Mingguo trying to do, what was Qin Feng and Min Ruoxi trying to do?

Seeing Min Ruoying coming in, the envoy quickly stood up, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed deeply: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor."

Min Ruoying looked at him squintedly and said coldly: "The envoy was both harsh in the court earlier, but at this time he was humble. Why did he take over and then respect him?"

The envoy stood up straight: "In the court, the foreign minister was the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and asked Your Majesty for national affairs. Now in the empress dowager's bedroom, the foreign minister is on behalf of the empress to pay tribute to the empress. This is a family matter. Your Majesty is the brother of my empress, and the foreign minister must of course be respectful."

"Clever words make people look good!" Min Ruoying said angrily.

"Okay, Ying'er, this is the harem, not the front hall. If you want to talk about state affairs, you can go to the front hall and say, don't make noise in front of the old woman of Ai's family." The empress dowager said a little displeased.

"Yes, mother!" Min Ruoying bent down to greet the queen mother, "The state affairs are complicated and difficult, but it is because her son is in a mess."

"Is the war ahead unhappy?" The queen mother said with some concern.

Min Ruoying glanced at the Empress Dowager, then looked at the empress dowager's eyes, Ma Ying, who was holding her youngest son next to the Empress Dowager. Her heart suddenly felt a sting. His brother was killed, but he still had to smile in front of the Empress Dowager, which was difficult for her. But now she still had to punish her for this matter and let her take the blame to destroy the anger in the hearts of the Ming people. How could he feel?

"Everything ahead will go well. Within this year, Bian Wushuang will be able to recover the six eastern counties."

"Okay, okay, I finally didn't ruin my ancestors' family business. You have worked so hard. Look at your appearance, you are so thin that you are too thin." The Queen Mother looked at her son happily and pity and said, "It is the right thing to do to have a good idea, so don't be too nervous."

"Thank you, my mother, for your concern, my son knows." Min Ruoying said.

"Okay, okay, the Ai family knows that you are very busy and won't keep you anymore. You go. I will talk to the envoys of the Ming Kingdom again." The Emperor smiled.

"My mother, don't be too tired." Min Ruoying glanced at the envoy of Ming Kingdom.
