Quick Travel: Three Thousand Worlds Are Just Playthings

In the blink of an eye, Shi Miao was already ten years old. When he was seven years old, he moved out of Qianqing Palace and moved into the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace. Originally, Xiao Zhe wanted to choose a palace near Qianqing Palace for Shi Miao to live in. It was Shi Miao himself. She proposed to accompany the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother's health was getting worse and worse. Even if Miao prescribed prescriptions, countless precious medicinal materials, and high-end supplements continued to flow into the Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother's health was getting worse day by day.

In the past few years, the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Shi Miao brought out previously have also been recognized by the people, and the Quyuan plow and waterwheel have also been widely promoted and used. Shi Miao's reputation for being smart and caring for the people has become more and more respected. Although Xiao Zhe and the Queen Mother They didn't mind and felt proud of Shi Miao because of this, but Shi Miao was afraid of putting the truth on the record and embarrassing his uncle. After moving out of Qianqing Palace, he stopped going to court. Except for going to Qianqing Palace to study with Xiao Zhe in the morning, he did the rest. She spent all her time in Shoukang Palace with the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother was chanting sutras, Miao would practice calligraphy and reading. When the Queen Mother was embroidering and making clothes in her spare time, Shi Miao would practice martial arts and body skills in the courtyard. The Emperor also came twice a day to accompany the Queen Mother Shi Miao for a walk. Strolling around the garden, there were a few more princes and princesses added to the harem. However, Xiao Zhe focused on his legitimate son and established the upper study room when Chengyun was three years old. Chengyun is almost five years old this year and has been in school for two years. She has always performed well in school. In Xiao Zhe's mind, although she is not as smart as Miaomiao, she is still pretty good. With careful training, she can take on big responsibilities.

The Queen Mother left when Shi Miao was 11 years old. She left peacefully and in her sleep.The day before her death, the Queen Mother called Xiao Zhe and Shi Miao to her side as if she had a feeling, and told Xiao Zhe to take good care of Shi Miao, and also asked Shi Miao to listen to her uncle's words. Both of them agreed one by one with red eyes.

The Queen Mother passed away, and the bell tolled. The concubines in the harem and the ministers with great titles came to the palace to keep vigil for the Queen Mother for seven days. Xiao Zhe also did not go to court for three days to deal with the Queen Mother's funeral affairs and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the funeral. Miao stayed with them all the time, and both of them lost weight in just a few days. The queen was worried about their bodies and made soup tonic every day and sent it to Qianqing Palace and Shoukang Palace.

On the day of the burial of the Queen Mother, when the officials were walking to the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Zhe held the Queen Mother's memorial tablet in one hand and held Shi Miao in the other hand as they walked slowly towards the cemetery.When the Queen Mother was buried and the coffin was sealed, Shi Miao cried bitterly. Xiao Zhe also hugged Shi Miao with red eyes and comforted him: "Miaomiao, don't cry. You still have your uncle, and your uncle will always be with you."

"Uncle, don't be afraid. You still have Miaomiao. Miaomiao will always be here. Grandma will be with us in the sky." Miaomiao hugged Xiao Zhe and said

The queen followed behind with Chengyun and watched the two comforting each other. She felt envious in her heart. She had admired Xiao Zhe since she was a child. Six years after marrying into the palace, she also gave birth to Chengyun. In the eyes of outsiders, her mother's family was always honored and favored. She also gave birth to her eldest son and her position was stable. The emperor treated her with respect and treated her like a guest, giving her the dignity and honor that a queen should have.Only he knew that Xiao Zhe and he only treated each other as if they were guests. The relationship between the two was like a layer of separation. Even if they were close, they could not be considered close. Even if they were not close, Xiao Zhe would still give him what he should receive.The harem is also completely left to him to take care of, and he never interferes.But Princess Changle would be blocked by the emperor even if she sincerely helped.Forget it, I should have understood long ago that Princess Changle was brought up by the emperor. The two have a deep relationship and do not allow outsiders to interfere.Changle has always understood etiquette, and he has always been polite and considerate in front of him, never doing anything offensive, so he should be content with that.

After the funeral of the Queen Mother was completed, Xiao Zhe was worried that Shi Miao would be wronged in Shoukang Palace alone and he would not be around, so he discussed with Shi Miao to let Shi Miao choose a palace to live near Qianqing Palace, and he could take care of her nearby. Shi Miao, after the Queen found out about it, stopped her because Princess Changle was already twelve years old and felt uncomfortable living in the former dynasty. She was afraid that Changle's reputation would be detrimental to her. Shi Miao didn't care about where she lived because her uncle didn't care. Xiao Zhe finally made the decision to let Shi Miao live in the Zhaoxia Palace. The Chaoxia Palace was part of the harem, but it was only separated from the previous palace by a wall. Shi Miao thought it would be more convenient to come to the Qianqing Palace.

However, Zhaoxia Palace is unoccupied all year round, so Shi Miao still moved into the side hall of Qianqing Palace first, and then moved in after the renovation of Zhaoxia Palace. Xiao Zhe had already said this, and the queen no longer objected. As for the renovation of Zhaoxia Palace, Leave it to the House of Internal Affairs to handle, with Xiao Zhe supervising it himself and the Queen assisting him. After all, there are some things that his daughter’s family likes, and Xiao Zhe is afraid that he will neglect them.

After the Queen Mother left, Xiao Zhe became more concerned about Shi Miao's living conditions. Shi Miao could clearly feel that his uncle was worrying about gains and losses, and Shi Miao could understand.

For Xiao Zhe himself, he had not been loved by the late emperor since he was a child, and his mother-in-law was relatively timid, so he was only protected by his elder sister.Through repeated humiliations, he understood that he had to hold the power to get what he wanted. However, his sister passed away only a year after he ascended the throne, and he was forced to take the throne for the first time and could not vent his anger for his sister. Finally, he was able to secure the throne, and Da Xiao was also moving on. A good place developed, but before he could fulfill his filial piety, his mother passed away. He could only hug Miaomiao for warmth. No matter how smart Miaomiao was, she was just a child.At this moment, Xiao Zhe suddenly felt that even if he ascended the throne, he could not keep anything. He only had Miaomiao left. Miaomiao was not in good health, so he took care of him everywhere and never let anything happen to Miaomiao. This is also my only spiritual sustenance.

Sensing her uncle's uneasiness, Miaomiao decided to take her uncle out of the palace for a walk.So at the end of the day, Miaomiao went to the Imperial Study Room. After being ushered in by Eunuch Su, she said to Xiao Zhe, "Uncle, I want to go to the palace to play. Please go with me!"

Xiao Zhe agreed directly and did not intend to make a big fanfare. He left the palace with only Shi Miao and the escort. Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Zhe asked Shi Miao: "Miaomiao, you have never been out of the palace before. This time I’ll take you to have fun, where do you want to go?”

"Uncle, I want to go outside the city to see the scenery first. Let's go outside the city first!" Shi Miao said

Xiao Zhe took Shi Miao to the outside of the city first. It was now the time for farming, and the fields outside the city were mostly occupied by farmers. Shi Miao walked towards an old man and asked pretending to be curious: "Old man Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"Greetings, noble man, the old man is planting potatoes and sweet potatoes. Would you like to come over and have a look?" the old man explained.

"Okay, thank you, grandpa" Shi Miao thanked him

While watching the old man sowing potatoes, Shi Miao asked: "Grandpa, does everyone have something to eat now and won't be hungry anymore?"

"Yes, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not allowed ordinary people like us to pay more taxes, and has given potatoes and sweet potato seeds for free, plus tools that everyone can afford. Not only our city, but also the former president It’s a famine-ridden place and I haven’t heard of people having enough to eat for a long time. This is all thanks to our good emperor.” The old man said and saluted in the direction of the palace, his words full of gratitude.

"Everyone's life is getting better and better. This must be the direction that the emperor of our country wants to see and work hard for. Our country will get better and better," Shi Miao said with a smile.

"Young nobleman, you are right. With such a good emperor in our country, we will definitely get better and better," the old man said with a smile.
