Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

Qingshuang was a little anxious, fearing that she was too stupid and might mess things up, but this was exactly the effect Shen Yangui wanted.

She seemed to be unable to control herself and said excitedly: "My silver needle!"

"Silver needle? Huh? Oh oh!"

Qingshuang then noticed the thin needle on the prince's shoulder. She was brave enough to reach out and pull it out.

Mo Chengying, who was standing with his back to them, of course knew that Qingshuang was reaching out to him.

But he was only thinking about his daughter and didn't care about anything else, so he didn't turn around.

"Qingshuang!"

Just as Qingshuang was pulled off, Fangyin spoke unexpectedly, and the rash girl's hand trembled, and the silver needle fell to the ground.

"The prince and princess are here, what are you yelling about?"

Qingshuang glanced at the ground and wanted to bend down to pick it up, but Shen Yangui pulled her. She then reacted and stood up immediately.

Mo Chengying turned around at this time and said impatiently:

"What's the noise about?"

Fang Yin bowed to her and said, "When I was going up the stairs earlier, I was so focused on the young lady that I didn't notice Sister Qingshuang. That's why I accidentally bumped into her. I hope you won't blame me."

He bowed to Shen Yangui again and said, "It was an unintentional mistake. Please don't take your anger out on my young lady, Princess."

Mo Chengying glanced at Shen Qingyue and explained gently:

"Jingning doesn't want to see anyone except me and her mother at night. If you want to see her, go to the Pepper Room during the day."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"There will be fireworks later. You can stay here and watch them. After they are over, the palace servants will take you back."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, two green horses were led over, and Mo Chengying and Shen Yangui mounted the horses one after another.

The entourage and guards ran all the way to catch up.

A maid like Qingshuang who had no martial arts skills fell to the back.

The sound of horse hooves and footsteps aroused the curiosity of the guests, and they saw the second daughter of the Shen family sitting alone in the regent's seat.

So there was a lot of discussion.

Some people said: "Miss Shen is so lucky. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, she will definitely be the imperial concubine second only to the queen."

Some people also disdain this, saying, "You are already wearing red and green, with your hair covered with pearls and jade, and walking around the city in a hurry to get married. This is really a misfortune for the family."

Poshan came specially to inform Princess Lin'an, and Shangshu Ling Cai Chong, Yushi Doctor Zou Zhengyan and servants of several other adults also came over.

They all asked why the prince and princess left suddenly, but what happened?

"Please rest assured, my lords. It's just that the princess woke up and didn't see her father throwing a tantrum in the palace. The prince and princess were worried and went back first."

Everyone saw that the Regent held his daughter tightly in his arms throughout the entire banquet and refused to let go. The court officials also knew that he had suspended court many times before for the princess.

She was in a bad mood in the middle of the night, so it was normal for him, a father who loved his daughter so much, to ride his horse past.

The servants went back and reported to their respective masters.

The adults in each family did not suspect anything after hearing this, but the direction of their discussion changed.

——"Given the current situation, Princess Jingning will most likely become the Crown Princess in the future."

——"Not necessarily. It was just said that the princess is pregnant again, with a little prince."

——"Crown Prince? The princess is truly blessed. He is the eldest princess and the legitimate son. As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, he will definitely be the queen who rules the country in the future."

——"I'm afraid the princess is ambitious, and it's only a matter of time before she makes a big mistake."

I don’t know who started talking about the princess’s ambitions and achievements.

This year was the first imperial examination for women in Daxia. There were five people taking the spring exam. They took the same questions as men and all their answer sheets were placed together with men. Most civil officials did not want to see women win, so they tried to identify the women's handwriting. Three of them were recognized, and their mistakes were picked out, so they were eliminated in the first round.

The remaining two people went through a rigorous selection process, but one of them had a narrow scope and lacked strength, so only Cheng Yijin stood out.

When the imperial edict was posted, she, as the only female Jinshi, shocked the court and the public.

With her appearance, women's education in Beijing began to flourish.

The princess not only supported girls' education and promotion, but also promoted agriculture and commerce.

Some merchants brought new seeds from the Western Regions, but the people did not know what they were and did not dare to buy them. The princess stepped forward to provide funds, and General Zhongwu led the army to reclaim wasteland and plant new crops.

Those were the things that Shen Yangui brought back by the caravan that Du Qingxu sent to the Western Regions before he left Beijing the year before last.

——"It is said that there is something called ground potato, which is easy to grow and has a high yield and can replace rice. If it succeeds, the people will no longer have to go hungry."

——"Daxia is a vast country with abundant resources, but it still can't feed everyone. What good things can a small country in the Western Regions have? Maybe even poisonous."

——"When a sparrow flies to a tree, once it has power and money, it can't wait to prove itself, but it only wastes money and manpower to do evil things."

——"Will the prince allow her to do whatever she wants?"

——"So what if she is not tolerated? She has made great contributions to the epidemic control in Kijuu, and the people have built temples to worship her. Your Highness cannot go against the will of the people. Look at the officials in the princess' fiefdom this time. A tapestry painting of a thousand blessings has stolen the show."

——"You said she is just a woman, she can wield swords and guns, but how come she also knows farming?"

——"She is just an amateur pretending to be an expert. The army's reclamation of wasteland does not affect the lives of the people. The prince is probably waiting for her to make a mistake, otherwise why would he ask that female general to do it?"

——"Oh~~~ Your Highness wants to take back the military power from that female general?"

--"Yep!"

——"Other things are fine, but letting a woman lead the army to defend the country will make other countries laugh at our Great Xia for having no one?"

Women's education, imperial examinations, agriculture and sericulture... all these things can probably be debated and discussed, but only this women's army -

A grown man wants a little girl to protect him?

All the civil and military officials in the court were of one mind: No, no, absolutely not!

As the wine glasses clinked, everyone joined in the conversation.

Poshan hid in the dark and listened for a while, confirming that the sounds of the prince and princess' horses' hooves and footsteps were no longer audible here, and there was no one following them, so he used his light skills to chase after them.

Seeing Qingshuang falling behind, he put his arm around her waist and carried her up to the red wall.

He flew over the eaves and walls under the moonlight, passed through the crowd, and returned to the Pepper Room.

Yu'er was very happy today and played too hard, so she was sleeping soundly with her legs spread out. Her parents kissed her from all sides but she didn't wake up.

Just as the two were about to return to their own bedrooms, Poshan came back with Qingshuang.

He repeated the court officials' discussions word for word, including which minister said it.

Shen Yangui was not really proficient in farming, but she had eaten ground potatoes and had seen people grow them in Yongzhou. (Note: Ground potatoes were invented by the author and cannot be verified.)

Unlike rice, which has high requirements for soil, water and climate, it has strong adaptability to the environment. You can just bury it in a piece of land and put a little effort into it, and then you can harvest a large piece.

And there are two seasons in a year.

For ordinary people, silks, satins, chickens, ducks, fish and meat are not the most important things. What is most important is to have enough food and warm clothing.

If we can produce a good harvest of sweet potatoes and promote them in the future as a supplement to rice, wheat, millet, beans and sorghum, the people will have enough food and clothing, and there will be no need to worry about unrest in the summer.

It’s just that people will always be suspicious of unknown things, so it’s normal for the subjects to be suspicious.

Moreover, Sangniu led the team into the mountains, ostensibly to reclaim land, but actually to train soldiers; it did not mean that the Regent wanted to take back the military power.

Shen Yangui and Mo Chengying had already discussed these things, and when he heard them now, he didn't take those discussions to heart.

As for these court officials who are discussing this, the court needs different voices, and Shen Yangui will not retaliate against these people.

"Did Lord Cai, the Minister of the Chancellery, say anything?" Shen Yangui asked.

"Never."

"Where is the Imperial Censor Zou?"

"nor."

Shen Yangui asked several senior officials again. The higher their official positions, the more cautious they were. These people, including their children, had never publicly participated in any speeches.

She nodded and asked, "Did Zhao Qizhen go to see Shen Qingyue?"
