Great Zhou Empress

Xue Zhijing always said afterwards that that little girl was actually Xiao Liege's eye, because she had a predestined relationship with him.Xiao Liege wasn't very happy at first, thinking that he was obviously trying to find a child with a good eye for Xue Zhijing.

But what Xue Zhijing said next made her go along with it instantly.

"The child who is destined for you is destined for me."

The children in the Salesian House were named, and the surnames were arranged in turn according to the surnames of hundreds of families. The first name was a character selected by the officials of the Salesian House from the thousand-character prose and other primitive works to give to the other party.

The little girl was named Zhao Xuan.

Xue Zhijing pondered for a while, and realized that the black color was black with red in it, so he renamed the little girl Xue Mo.

Xiao Liege naturally didn't have any opinions, and happily brought the child back to the palace with Xue Zhijing, arranging this and that.

The maids in the palace are naturally keen. Seeing their Majesty and Princess Raging Fire brought a cute little girl back, they all wondered if it might be the adopted daughter brought back by His Majesty, although His Majesty just ordered them to clean up. When they came out of the room, they all took care of the child enthusiastically.

The palace of Wan Guo City was not very big, except for the three main halls in a straight line, there was only one palace where Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege used as study and bedroom all the year round, and a few empty yards around it.

Arranging Xue Mo in any courtyard, walking to the imperial study room is just a matter of going through two doors.

Xue Zhijing thinks that living in such a palace is kind.

Here, the maids were arranged to clean up Xue Mo's room, wash his hair and take a bath, and over there, Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege also went to the room to take a bath.

The weather is hot recently, and the palace has the conditions to keep hot water on hand, so both of them have the habit of taking a bath every day, but it is too troublesome to dry their hair after washing, so they wash it every two or three days.

Shower facilities have recently been installed in the bathroom.

Xue Zhijing was troubled by the bucket bathing every day, and she didn't like people to wait for her to take a bath, she had to scoop up water by herself every time, although she and Xiao Liege could help each other, it always felt troublesome.

She wondered if there was any way to form tap water. She mentioned a few words to the students of the engineering school. The stones are raised to become the second floor, and the hot water flows directly to the bathroom next to it through the pipes, isn't it all right?

A few students from the School of Engineering enthusiastically came over to help His Majesty renovate the bathroom. It is estimated that the inventions and creations of the School of Engineering are very popular now. After all, Gong Xuyang Zhuyu is in front. Not only did she improve and invent the steam engine that can go down the mine, She also transformed a locomotive to replace the horse-drawn carriage based on the steam engine, and became the head of the Dazhou Royal Machinery Manufacturing Bureau by virtue of her technology. The pinnacle of life, who wouldn't want to be like her.

Don't look at it as remodeling a bathroom. It seems like an inconspicuous thing, but isn't invention a different way of thinking from others? Maybe after the bathroom is remodeled, it can stimulate their thinking and let them invent What's new?

The building of the water heating room was also done by these students themselves. Even the boilers were carefully considered by them. Almost all of them were made by themselves. They also treated the water pipes. But it is waterproof.

The water channel is divided into hot water channel and cold water channel, which meet together near the water outlet to form mixed warm water.

At the same time, in order to ensure that His Majesty can adjust the temperature by himself when taking a bath, they also built a mechanical structure on the wall of the bathroom. Through the gear structure, the water intake of the two water channels can be adjusted. If the temperature is high, it will cool the water channel. Enlarge the opening of the hot water channel, if the temperature is low, enlarge the opening of the hot water channel.

When Xue Zhijing used it for the first time, he was almost moved to tears.

Finally, I can take a shower with running water.

But this means that the conditions in the palace are good. Someone can boil water in the water heating room, and they don't care about the consumption of fuel and water. Ordinary people still can't do it.

While taking a shower, Xiao Liege said happily, "After two years, when Xiao Derui succeeds in his studies with you, I will completely hand over the government affairs to you."

He, I will play with Xue Mo when the time comes, she looks too thin, she should ride horses and hunt since elementary school, I can guarantee that within three years, I can make her fight invincible all over the two countries. "

Seeing Xiao Liege's high spirits, Xue Zhijing still wanted to pour cold water on her, "Are you sure that Invincible is not because others will let her go?"

Xiao Liege choked, "Some people will let it go, some people won't."

"So you still know that when you were young, many people let you go?" Xue Zhijing asked with a smile, and rubbed bath beans on her back by the way.

Xiao Liege turned sideways and said, "There must be someone letting me go. They said so before wrestling with me, but I will deliberately provoke them and let them use their true strength with me, and then I will win against them."

Xue Zhijing smiled and exclaimed, "Wow, so amazing!"

"Of course." Xiao Liege continued to be proud, as if he didn't realize that most of Xue Zhijing's voice was coaxing her, "So don't worry, my strength is enough, and the children I teach must be the most powerful .”

Xue Zhijing turned her over and continued to wipe her bath beans in front of her, "But, Xue Mo grew up in a sales school. Although he is still young, he should mature earlier than ordinary children. More sensitive, if you force her to practice martial arts, horseback riding and archery, she may not be capable enough and will try her best to learn, so as to gain your approval."

As she said, she raised her body and looked at Xiao Liege, "So, don't be anxious at first, let's see what kind of temperament she is, and whether she has enough ability to practice martial arts."

"The heir you want must be both civil and military."

Xue Zhijing pinched her face angrily, "You, don't think so far ahead."

"How can you not think so far away? Without long-term considerations, there must be short-term worries. Naturally, it must be planned from the beginning." Xiao Liege said seriously.

Seeing that Xue Zhijing was helpless, he pushed her to the faucet to rinse, and said while flushing, "Let's put it this way, at least in the last year, it was the time we spent with this child, and it was the first time we did it. Parents, too, should learn from scratch."

Having said this, Xiao Liege admitted it.

"Row."

After taking a bath, they went to the middle of the main hall, where the dinner was already set up, and when the two of them sat down, they saw the palace maid bringing in Xue Mo who had changed clothes.

Xue Mo was still wearing the clothes she brought from the sales house, all of ordinary material, and a little too big.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege got up and went to bring her over. Xue Zhijing also ordered the maids behind, "Make her some clothes as soon as possible."

Xiao Liege was very happy, and kept taking care of Xue Mo on the table.

Xue Zhijing sighed inwardly, before when she asked her if she liked children, she always turned the topic to Xiao Derui, as if she only had that eldest nephew in her heart, and it turned out that this one with eyes just brought back from the sales school The little girl from Yuanyuan was completely exposed.

She no longer has to take care of her herself, she has learned to take care of others without a teacher.

Xue Mo is really a child who grew up in a sales school. Apart from his height, which looks like three or four years old, his speech and acuity are like six or seven years old, or even older.

Xiao Liege may not think it, but only thinks that this child is very good, she can respond well to any child, but Xue Zhijing can understand that she is a sensitive child, and needs more care to change.

In this way, Xue Mo lived in the palace as Xue Zhijing's adopted daughter, and Xue Zhijing officially issued an edict to confirm Xue Mo's adopted daughter's status, and also gave Xue Mo an official title of princess.

The entire imperial court suddenly erupted.

The establishment of the Great Zhou was less than three years old, but their empress is almost 25 years old. In this age when you can get married and have children at the age of 15, at the age of 25, the children can be engaged as soon as possible.The courtiers also chat about this matter on weekdays, and they are quite anxious about the fact that His Majesty is 25 years old and the dynasty has no heir.

There has been a matter of asking His Majesty to find the emperor's husband before. Their Majesty said that there can only be queens, and the reason why queens have never been found from the people, they are all from officials and noble families, but who would like to let a boy who was carefully cultivated by his family since childhood? Go to the palace as a man without any

What about the queen of power, so things have dragged on until now.

Unexpectedly, their majesty would come up with such a trick. Instead of finding a royal husband to give birth to a child, and not adopting a blood-related child from the family, he went to a nursery to find an orphan. Disabled orphan with six fingers.

The courtiers couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Not all courtiers only think about themselves, many of them also think about the stability of the court for a hundred years.Ever since Xia Qi started the family inheritance system, the world has gradually stabilized.For an agricultural society that will not change for many years, the stability of the succession of the throne has a very important impact on the stability of everyone's life.

It is recognized that after the death of the emperor, his heirs will ascend the throne, and no matter how bad it is, a blood-related offspring must become an heir to ascend the throne.

If an adopted son who has no blood relationship ascends the throne, does that mean that unrelated courtiers can also ascend the throne, and many people may be ready to move and cause chaos when the throne changes.

Xue Zhijing didn't think so deeply and far ahead of them. After all, for her, she is not yet 25 years old. She thinks that life is still long. If Xue Mo is really to be the heir in the future, it will be because Xue Mo is mature enough to have power It's time, naturally don't worry about any problems.

Therefore, she is really just raising an ordinary daughter now, even in the process of studying, how could she know that her courtiers have long thought about the unlucky thing that she may die young in her heart.

No, one day at noon, a courtier who she still thought was mature and prudent said, "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the succession of the throne has always been based on blood, and it is also for the family. Now, Your Majesty is still young. You can have your own offspring, if you don’t have a suitable imperial husband, then one or two beauties will enter the palace to serve you, and it is also possible to give birth to concubine sons and concubine daughters, so please think twice about adopting a daughter to be the heir of the emperor.”

Xue Zhijing was a little taken aback, what do you mean?

One or two beauties?Bastards and concubines?

Has my courtier's thinking changed so quickly?You let me get married before, but now you let me directly find a male pet to have a child?
