In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

After two years of development, the He family's business in the capital has established a foothold in the important industries of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Thanks to the technology and eye-catching points provided by Akihiko He, the business is doing well.

He Qiudi is in charge of the He family's money, and a large portion of it is given back to society.

Set up charitable organizations, medical clinics, schools, and donate to the army as military pay.

The He family had previously established a women’s college.

The main teaching content of the school is to promote girls' literacy and learn knowledge other than books such as "Female Commandments".

The school also recruits students from more than a dozen counties within the jurisdiction of the capital. Those from poor families can enroll for free and have their food and accommodation provided as long as they can pass the school's assessment.

After the Chinese New Year, a new round of spring examinations is about to begin. It happens to be the time when the learning atmosphere is the most intense throughout the year. He Qiudi simply takes the title of a teacher and goes to the girls' school to teach.

She teaches medicine, focusing on the treatment of gynecological diseases, delivery and surgery.

In addition to teaching medicine, mathematics is also taught.

I come to school three times a day and attend four classes each time.

The rest of the time, she managed her dowry and the royal estates and shops.

The various advanced technologies that had been given to the He family were no longer used by the He family. Instead, they were transferred to the royal family in the form of dowry, and the money earned also belonged to the royal family.

They still know the truth that a tall tree attracts the wind and possessing a treasure is a crime.

It would be best if these important industries were handed over to the royal family.

The He family only needs to get the first-hand new goods, open their own shops, and ensure that their business is prosperous.

Western Chu and Western Rong had been completely subdued, but Northern Di, Eastern Qi and Eastern Yi, who had taken advantage of the situation two years ago, were still anxious.

Feng Lie will personally lead his troops to the east after the palace examination next year.

The Ministry of Revenue cried poor.

The royal family will have to make up for this money itself.

He Qiudi could subsidize her own dowry, but it was not justifiable to spend the Crown Princess's dowry on a war. So, she simply integrated the royal assets, adjusted the management, developed new products, and helped increase the royal industry's income.

To this end, a development plan for the next ten years has been made.

The people of Western Rong and Western Chu were brave and good at fighting, but their land had a monotonous topography, a monotonous climate, a scarce food supply, and a sparsely populated area. They were hampered by drought and were unable to continue their efforts, and were soon destroyed.

The three countries of Beidi, Dongqi and Dongyi cover a vast area, have complex landforms, high population density and a large total population.

Even Dongqi was richer than Dazhou.

If we want to take over these three countries, we have to fight a protracted war.

He Qiudi had no ability to give commands, so she could only find ways to help with logistics.

In just over a month, she made up the shortfall in military funds for the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.

This year, people inside and outside the court lived a much more comfortable life.

She was a new bride, and the empress took her to entertain the wives of ministers in the court, the ladies with royal titles, and the daughters of various families.

Rong Fangfei was betrothed to Feng Shiling at the end of last year, and she had married to Feng Shiling's fiefdom at the beginning of this year. She was unable to return for Feng Shiyan and He Qiudi's wedding, saying that she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to travel far.

No one inside or outside the palace dared to cause trouble for He Qiudi anymore.

This year.

I am living a more comfortable life than last year.

At the palace banquet, He Qiudi gave He Qingya some rewards and urged her to get married as soon as possible. He Qingya took the opportunity to announce to the public that she and Chen Rongjing had chosen an auspicious date to get married, which would be after the New Year.

years later.

He Qingya married Chen Rongjing.

After the palace examination, Chen Rongjing was going to go on an expedition to the east with Feng Lie. He Qingya wanted to get pregnant as soon as possible, so she came to learn from He Qiudi.

He Qiudi had originally not recommended that she have a baby so early, but Chen Rongjing was about to go on an expedition to the east, and He Qingya was the only child in the Chen family. He Qingya was particularly concerned about the child, so He Qiudi had to lend her a hand and explain to her the usefulness of the dangerous period.

Sure enough, good news came not long after.

Let Chen Rongjing follow Feng Lie to the Eastern Expedition with peace of mind.

Feng Lie was appointed to lead the Eastern Expedition, and Feng Shiyan was appointed as the Regent.

He Qingya could still come to see He Qiudi often, and seeing that He Qiudi was not pregnant, she couldn't help but feel a little concerned.

"Aunt, you and His Highness have been married for nearly half a year, why haven't I seen any good news from you?"

He Qiudi didn't mind and said, "I don't want to have a baby so early."

He Qingya sighed and said, "You don't know. A while ago, Uncle Six wrote home to announce the good news that Aunt Six had given birth to a daughter. He mentioned that He Qingshu and Zhang Qianhao returned to Ningyuan after your wedding to His Highness, and not long after, she became pregnant again. If you give birth later, she will definitely make fun of you behind your back."

"If she wants to laugh, then let her laugh. In this life, she will never be able to leave the Western Border Province. In the future, there will probably be no chance to see her again, so let her think whatever she wants. By the way, is there any news about your uncle and aunt?"

He Qingya sneered, "It's just like that. The two of them quarreled all the time. Uncle blamed Auntie for offending you, and Auntie blamed Uncle for being useless and not knowing how to please you and Grandma, which led to them having to stay in that remote place in Ningyuan County."

"Oh, right. Uncle Six and Aunt Six have just given birth to a daughter. What gift do you plan to give the child? I'll bring it back to the He family for you and send it together with the gifts prepared by Grandma and the others."

"Okay. At the end of last year, your father had a big fat son. I named him Da Jinsuo. I also named Da Jinsuo for Sixth Brother's daughter. I've been ready for a long time."

last year.

When He Qiudi got married, He Huaiping brought his pregnant wife back with him.

Fortunately, the pregnant woman and the child were both very tough and had no problems completing the two-day journey.

After that, my second sister-in-law stayed in the capital to give birth.

When the baby was born, He Qiudi even brought the imperial physician and the female physician from the palace to assist in the delivery.

When a son was born, everyone in the He family breathed a sigh of relief.

He Huaiping has his own son now.

Jin Cui Huasheng's third son was adopted by the Meng family, not following the order of the He family. He Huaiping's son was He Jia Silang.

He Qiudi opened the box, which contained several gold locks of similar designs. She took one out and asked someone to put it in a brocade box.

Thinking that giving her daughter a gold lock still felt like something was missing, she opened a brocade box and took out a bag of pearls.

This left He Qingya completely speechless.

"I knew it. You really are mass-producing. Is it true that when my child is born, my son will only have a gold lock, while my daughter will have a bag of oriental pearls in addition to the gold lock?"

He Qiudi shrugged indifferently.

"I have difficulty making choices. Besides, as an aunt, I have to treat everyone equally, so of course I give the same gifts to everyone. Not to mention your father and sixth uncle, even when your third aunt and eldest aunt had their children, I gave them gold locks and pearls. Giving things that can be exchanged for money is the most practical. When the children grow up, they can melt the gold locks to exchange for anything they want."

He Qingya asked with a dark face: "Your gifts to the emperor and his friends are not gold ingots and oriental pearls, are they?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

He Qingya pinched her brows and said, "After I got married, Chen Rongjing handed over the housekeeping power to me. When I went to count his private vault, I saw the gold ingots and Dongzhu. I asked him, and he said that these were given to him by you and Your Highness on his twentieth birthday."

"Ahem." He Qiudi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about the details. You can use the gold ingots to buy whatever you want. And you can use the Dongzhu to make the jewelry you want."

Over the years, He Qiudi has cashed in a lot of pearls.

The price of Dongzhu has already become much cheaper, but rich people still like to collect them, so there is still a relatively large market for them.

This time, she raised military funds and donated another batch.

Hey.

When Feng Shiyan was the regent, He Qiudi often went to the study to accompany her. He would not avoid her and let her read memorials and give suggestions. He would also discuss difficult problems with her when he encountered them.

He Qiudi uses a 10-day cycle.

He would go to school for three days, look at the account books for two days, and occasionally take a day to go on a private visit with Feng Shiyan to understand the people's sentiments.

The rest of the time, he and Feng Shiyan were in the study, each busy with their own things and sharing what they had.

The couple's life is busy but fulfilling.

Just as He Qiudi expected, attacking Eastern Qi would be much more difficult than attacking Western Rong and Western Chu.

During the first Chinese New Year, Feng Lie did not come back to celebrate.

There was no second year either.

It was not until the third year that they reached the capital of Eastern Qi.

There was a flood in the territory of Dongqi, and the river passing through the capital of Dongqi surged and washed away the city walls. Feng Lie took advantage of the fact that the flood receded and the city walls had not been repaired, and rushed into the capital of Dongqi with hundreds of thousands of troops.

He Qiudi also slept with Feng Shiyan on the second anniversary of their marriage.

Not long after, she became pregnant.

When the news of the great victory of the Eastern Qi Kingdom came, He Qiudi was about to give birth.

Because she was fully prepared and had several excellent female doctors she had taught deliver the baby, He Qiudi had no worries and the delivery went relatively smoothly.

When the good news reached the palace, Feng Shiyan happened to hear the crying of a baby coming from the delivery room.

He Qiudi gave birth to a son.

The entire imperial city was filled with cheers and congratulations.

"Congratulations, Queen, it's a royal grandson."

"Your Highness, the Emperor has conquered the capital of Dongqi!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness. It's a little prince..."

Feng Shiyan's lips curled up into a smile.

"Good, good, good..."

He glanced at the child in the female official's arms, then raised his legs and entered the delivery room.

"Your Highness, this is not possible..."

Feng Shiyan looked back at the female official. When she took a half step back, he immediately entered the delivery room.

The room was filled with the smell of blood.

He walked up to her and held her hand, his eyes flickering, and when he opened his mouth, he choked with a slight trembling sob.

"Qiu Di, you've worked hard."

He Qiudi looked at him weakly, forcing herself to smile.

"Banquet, I'm fine."

Feng Shiyan took her hand, kissed it on his lips, ruffled her sweat-soaked hair, and placed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

"Qiu Di, I love you..."

"Me too."

Inside the room, everyone was so moved that they covered their mouths and turned away, afraid of losing their composure.

He Qiudi had a normal birth and recovered quickly.

After a few hours, she was able to get out of bed and hold the baby by herself.

But the palace maids certainly did not dare to tire her out, so they let her hold the child for a while and then took the child away.

He Qiudi insisted on breastfeeding.

The prepared wet nurse is just a decoration for now.

When the news of her giving birth reached the He family, Old Lady He wanted to go to the palace to see her. She was told that He Qiudi had to rest and they could not go to the palace for the time being. Then Old Lady He kept muttering at home for most of the night.

Early in the morning, he brought the women of the He family into the palace to see her.

After so many years, Old Mrs. He has lived a much more comfortable life. Time has left no traces on her face. Instead, she looks younger than she did a few years ago.

Old Mrs. He held He Qiudi's hand for a long time before she choked up with tears in her eyes and said, "Child, you have worked hard these years. You have done well enough for the country and the people. Now that you have your own child, you should put down the things in your hands and let others do it. I believe everyone will understand. It is better than anything else if you and the child are fine. Remember to have a good rest after giving birth, ah..."
