Great Zhou Empress

A high platform was set up on the border between the two countries. Today, the ceremony of worshiping heaven will be held here, and the covenant between Dazhou and Liao will be concluded.

Before this, the two countries signed a lot of agreements, most of which were aimed at some small aspects, such as trade in a certain direction, etc., but this time the covenant is probably equivalent to a comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation for later generations Such a covenant.

The courtiers of the two countries were separated within the borders of the two countries, and the princes and princes of various countries who lived in the city of Wanguo were also invited to watch the ceremony, and they stood in a place farther away.

The signing of the covenant between the Great Zhou and the Liao Kingdom is a preview of the conclusion of various covenants among the nations in the future.

For Xue Zhijing, the current era is like an enlarged Spring and Autumn Period. The Ten Thousand Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period were only concentrated in the Central Plains, while the current Ten Thousand Kingdoms are located around the entire ocean.

Xue Zhijing looked forward to establishing a new era of alliance order of all nations, just like Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong established the order of the first-generation alliance of nations in the Spring and Autumn Period, and this alliance must first start with the Great Zhou and Liao.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege wore heavy ceremonial attires and went up the steps of the two countries respectively, and reached the highest point, where the sacrificial supplies had already been arranged, and there were two ceremony officials holding two covenant books in their hands.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege smiled at each other, followed the guidance of the ceremony officer, worshiped the heavens and the earth one by one, and made a blood alliance according to the ancient rituals.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege felt redoubled excitement when they drank the wine that contained the blood of both parties.

At the same time, this feeling became stronger when the respective jade seals were stamped on the covenant of the two countries.

Xue Zhijing leaned closer and said softly, "I always feel that the canonization ceremony in a few days doesn't look like your wedding, but today it does."

Xiao Liege raised his eyebrows, "The canonization ceremony in a few days will be you canonizing me as the Queen of Great Zhou, and there will be another canonization ceremony at the beginning of next month, you will come to my Liao Kingdom and canonize you as my son-in-law."

Xue Zhijing nodded as if suddenly enlightened, "No wonder, as expected, today is the wedding day."

Xiao Liege knew that she was acting again, so he gave her a blank look.

The Ministry of Rituals also arranged some activities such as religious ceremonies, and the two stood firmly on the high platform, watching the colorfully dressed wizards dancing to the beat of the drums.

Although Xue Zhijing doesn't believe in mysticism, he also feels that watching such a wizard dance beating to the beat of the drums does bring people a sense of clarity of mind, and the covenant ceremony between the two countries looks even more sacred.

With the completion of the covenant, Dazhou and Liao have become one in terms of etiquette.According to the information obtained by Xue Zhijing, the big food countries are now a group of small countries, and there is no unified country in Europe farther away, let alone Africa. In the whole world, only Dazhou and Liao are huge and unified countries. The formation of an alliance between countries is to form a more stable and powerful national alliance entity in the East.

After the covenant ceremony was over, Xue Zhijing received good news when he returned to the palace. Yuan Jin found Sun Miaoer and brought her all the way back.

Xue Zhijing specially hosted a banquet and asked them to have dinner together.

Sun Miaoer seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the coolness on her face was even more obvious.

Yuan Jin has been angrily talking about Sun Miaoer's disappearance.

"What's the matter? It's really a high mountain and the emperor is far away. He dares to do anything." Yuan Jin's face was filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, do you know what's going on? It's just a useless son trying to hide himself He made a mistake, so he attacked Miaoer. That idiot was put on high hopes by his parents since he was a child, and they wanted him to take the scientific examination. Since he got the fame of a scholar, he has been full of self-confidence. A young girl in the village worried about damaging her image after making her belly bigger, so she asked someone to abort the girl, but she almost killed her. After the operation, it is estimated that the person would have died long ago.”

Yuan Jin said, feeling thirsty, picked up the bowl of wine at hand and drank it down, only to realize that it was actually Xiao Liege who poured it for her, Xiao Liege poured it for her, then turned his head away One side does not look at her.Yuan Jin looked at the empty bowl where he had finished drinking, and said dryly, "Thank you, Your Highness the Queen."

Since Yuan Jin said so

Having said that, Xiao Liege didn't respond well, so he hummed.

Xue Zhijing was quite happy to see that the two of them were getting on good terms.

After drinking the wine, Yuan Jin continued, "Then the son was afraid that this matter would be exposed, so he planned to find someone to take Miao'er away on the road, because Miao'er often went to the nearby forests to collect herbs, and they wanted to I disguised Miao'er as if he went up the mountain to collect medicine and fell to his death. Fortunately, Miao'er was alert and escaped. If you say that guy is fat or not, it doesn't matter if Miao'er is not an official of the court. I asked the local officials to arrest his whole family. He’s all tied up, what should I do, if it weren’t for the law of the state, I would have put a sack on him and beat him up.”

Sun Miaoer, who hadn't spoken much, said, "Thanks to General Yuan for saving me this time, I was injured at that time. If General Yuan hadn't arrived in time, I would have been caught up by those people."

Hearing Sun Miaoer's praise, Yuan Jin looked at her with a bright smile, her face flushed red.

Xue Zhijing looked at Yuan Jin's expression curiously, as if he understood something.

After eating, Yuan Jin and Xiao Liege were asked to go outside to practice archery. Hearing that Xiao Liege was going to participate in the archery competition of the World Congress, Yuan Jin didn't want to participate, so he yelled that she would also participate.

Xue Zhijing asked the maids to tidy up, served tea, and she talked with Sun Miaoer.

Asked how Miaoer's previous injury was going, Sun Miaoer said that she had already given the medicine herself, and she would recover in a few days.

After asking, Xue Zhijing said, "Actually, I came back to you in a hurry this time because I want to ask you for something. If I want to come to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, I guess only you can do it."

"What's the matter?"

"I once remembered that you and Tian Shouyu performed artificial insemination on the cattle of the Agricultural College. I don't know, is it possible to artificially inseminate humans?"

Sun Miaoer's brows moved slightly, but she was very smart and understood Xue Zhijing's meaning immediately.

Although she has been in the country all the time, she also knows about the affairs in Beijing. The courtiers have great opinions about Xue Zhijing being a female emperor, but she wants to be a queen. The biggest opinions are concentrated on the issue of heirs.

Xue Zhijing asked this, not about her scientific experiment of artificial insemination, it should be that Xue Zhijing needed her to do artificial insemination for her.

Sun Miaoer always knew everything about Xue Zhijing, "Your Majesty, I have only done it for cattle, but never for humans. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful."

Xue Zhijing quietly waited for her next sentence. If someone had done it and succeeded, how could she think of asking Sun Miaoer at this moment.

Sun Miaoer looked at Xue Zhijing and said seriously, "In the past few years, I have performed many operations on rural women in the countryside, and I am very familiar with the internal structure of women's bodies, and many women also ask me to recuperate their bodies. I want to conceive, sometimes I can't shirk it, and I will take a look."

Xue Zhijing laughed when he heard it.

Sun Miaoer said, "I need more experiments."

Now that Sun Miaoer has accepted this new project, she will naturally find a way to do it. Xue Zhijing asked her what she needs to cooperate with. Sun Miaoer said that she still has to go back to the countryside, and first find families without children to do experiments , believing that they are most in demand.After all, this matter has a bit of impact on people's ideas in this era, and the experiment should be done in the countryside first, so as not to arouse a lot of public opinion.

Xue Zhijing also suggested that there are many maids in her palace who can also be used as the second batch of test subjects. I believe these court ladies will be very willing to participate after hearing the news. With too much knowledge, most of them can't find a suitable marriage partner. For them, having a child is a blessing from heaven.

In the evening, Xiao Liege asked her what she said to Sun Miaoer today, Xue Zhijing thought about what had happened before, so he didn't tell her about it, and asked her if she had reconciled with Yuan Jin.

Xiao Liege never got to the bottom of Xue Zhijing, so he followed Xue Zhijing's question and said, "That guy Yuan Jin has such a bad temper, I don't care about her now because I am His Royal Highness the Queen. , I want to be more magnanimous, or you will lose face."

"..."

Xue Zhijing suddenly burst out laughing, you are the one who is obviously good-looking.

Then I saw Xiao Liege excited

Leaning on her shoulder, she leaned on her shoulder and said with a strange smile, "I'll tell you a secret."

Xue Zhijing smiled and nodded at her.

Xiao Liege said excitedly like a kindergarten kid who got a new secret, "I found out that Yuan Jin misses and is afraid of Dr. Sun Miaoer. When we practiced arrows outside, her eyes would look into the palace from time to time. , I asked her why she wasn't paying attention, and she still talked about him with me. And when she was at the dinner table, her eyeballs were all stuck to Dr. Sun Miaoer, ouch, tsk tsk."

Xue Zhijing scratched her nose, "You observe very carefully."

"Of course, I'm the number one hunter in our Liao Kingdom, and I know it by seeing it."

"Then what about fear?" Xue Zhijing led Xiao Liege to speak with some pampering indulgence.

"I saw it. When she peeked at Dr. Sun Miaoer, Dr. Sun Miaoer glanced at her, and she immediately avoided it like a frightened cat. Haha, it's so interesting. I want to write it down. As Yuan Jin's handle, if she argues with me again in the future, I will use this matter to mock her."

Xiao Liege laughed while laughing, and put himself into Xue Zhijing's arms. Xue Zhijing held her in his arms, stroked her hair and asked, "Then what do you think, Miaoer? Do you have any thoughts about Yuan Jin?"

"Doctor Sun Miaoer?" Xiao Liege thought about it seriously, "I don't see it clearly."

It was only today that Xue Zhijing found out that Yuan Jin liked Sun Miaoer, but Sun Miaoer was too cold, she had a feeling of being obsessed with academics, and she really couldn't tell from her face.

A few days later, Sun Miaoer said that she was going to the countryside again, and Yuan Jin came over and said that she wanted to go with Sun Miaoer and take a group of guards to protect Sun Miaoer.

Regardless of Yuan Jin, Xue Zhijing would arrange a team of guards for Sun Miaoer. If it was Yuan Jin, it would be better, now is not the time for storms, and she doesn't need to be a town general in Wan Guo City. Lifetime matters are important.
