Shen Meimei listened very attentively. She lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, she remembered that she had a modern mobile phone in her hand, so she quickly entered a few keywords to look up how the open sea policy was implemented in ancient times.

The phone is equipped with a lot of smart AI software, which can help her find relevant information in the hope of providing some constructive suggestions.

She typed "How did the Qing Dynasty implement the policy of opening the sea" into her mobile phone. Sure enough, many suggestions and reference information popped up on the screen, even mentioning the wisdom and decision-making shown by Emperor Yongzheng on the issue of opening the sea.

After checking, Shen Meimei raised her head and hid her phone:

“Your Majesty, in fact, whether opening the sea will bring more benefits or more disadvantages depends on how it is carried out and who is responsible for carrying it out.

From a philosophical point of view, everything has two sides, both positive and negative.

As the weather gets hotter, the emperor might as well go to a coastal city to escape the heat and take a field trip to see for himself whether the sea should be opened.

The emperor fell into deep thought. Some of the ministers of the previous dynasty opposed it, while some agreed. But now the treasury is empty. If another war breaks out in the northwest at this time, what will the court use to fight?

He thought about it and sighed:

"Mei'er, please let me think about it. Changing the national policy of the previous emperor may require some twists and turns!"

When Shen Meimei heard the emperor say this, she immediately understood that the emperor's inner balance had begun to tilt towards Kaihai.

The emperor told Shen Meimei to have a good rest then left Tangli Palace and returned to the Yangxin Palace.

At night, the emperor was sleeping in the middle of the night when he suddenly had a nightmare. In the dream, he saw Queen Chunyuan with blood all over her face, as if she was struggling in the water.

The emperor looked at Chun Yuan, and his heart tightened. He immediately asked:

"Chun Yuan, is that you? Are you okay over there?"

Queen Chunyuan slowly turned her head, her face covered in blood, "Yinzhen, I'm so cold! I'm so cold in the underground palace! Yinzhen, I'm so cold... I'm so cold..."

When the emperor woke up, he realized it was just a dream.

He couldn't fall asleep again after waking up. Why did Chun Yuan feel cold? She had built her coffin herself, so there was no way it could go wrong.

The emperor thought about it and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He had to get up and lean against the bright window and sigh.

"Since Chunyuan and Huan'er passed away, I haven't had a good talk with anyone for a long time! Mei'er is very sensible and special. It is enough for me to have such a person in my old age!"

Thinking of Shen Meimei, the emperor put on his boots and pushed open the door of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Su Peisheng saw the emperor coming out in his pajamas and hurried forward to pay his respects:

"Your Majesty, what's going on? Why are you out at this time in the middle of the night?"

"I want to see the Imperial Concubine. I'm going to see her now!" said the emperor, and then he went down the steps and walked straight forward.

Several eunuchs were holding lanterns to provide lighting, and Su Peisheng followed closely, instructing Xiao Xiazi to ask for the sedan chair to be brought over.

The emperor waved his hand, "Don't bother. How big can the palace be? I can get there in a few steps! Don't make such a big scene at this time. I will go there quietly."

Shen Meimei's baby was growing bigger and she couldn't sleep on her back anymore. She could only sleep on her side. The weather was hot and although she used ice, the effect was not obvious. Compared with modern air conditioning, it was still far behind.

She turned over and over, yawning, and stood up to ask, "Jinxi, what time is it now?"
