Qi State.
Zhao Rao was reading the memorial, when suddenly, the sound of a child crying came from behind, she hurriedly put down the memorial in her hand, and walked back with her skirt in hand.
"Your Majesty, the little prince has woken up." As soon as he walked to the back, he happened to see the mother in the palace walking out with the child in her arms.
"You're hungry!" Zhao Rao looked at her son tenderly. The child was six months old and it was time to recognize someone. If he woke up and didn't see her, he must be about to cry.
Mammy smiled and said, "I've already breastfed, I only cry when I see His Majesty."
Zhao Rao took the child from Nanny's hand, and gently tapped the tip of his nose, "Little guy, you really don't stop for a moment."
"My servant thinks that the little prince is too smart." A crying child has milk, and at such a young age, he knows that as long as he cries, he can see his mother.
The little prince looked exactly like Cheng Zheng, with black and bright eyes, he was sucking his fingers and tilting his head, looking at Zhao Rao with a smile, he didn't look like he was aggrieved and crying just now.
Zhao Rao's heart was broken by his son's sight.
She carried her son outside, and read the memorial while holding him. The little prince was well-behaved, just leaning quietly in Zhao Rao's arms, not making any noise.
"Your Majesty, the second princess is here." The palace man came in and said in a low voice.
"Let the second princess come in." Zhao Rao raised his head, with a slight smile in his eyes.
Zhao Xiang walked into the main hall and saw Zhao Rao hugging the little prince with one hand and watching the memorial with the other, she chuckled softly and said while saluting, "Brother Quan is going to cling to you again."
"It's good that you come, besides Zhen, he likes you the most." Zhao Rao said with a smile, and gave Zhao Xiang the son in his arms.
When the little prince saw Zhao Xiang, he didn't reject him at all, and leaned his limp body in Zhao Xiang's arms.
Zhao Rao said, "There are more and more memorials these days, and I can't even read them."
Since the natural disaster happened, there have been more and more problems in Qi country. Sometimes Zhao Rao can't help but wonder, is this God's punishment for her? However, apart from Qi, several other countries also encountered the same situation. She couldn't just be defeated like this. This Qi was saved for her by Cheng Zheng. For Cheng Zheng and for her son, she couldn't fall down.
As long as she doesn't fall, no one can push her down.
"Now that all the places are slowly recovering from natural disasters, you should also take a good rest." Zhao Xiang said, holding the little prince and sitting down beside him, familiarly picked up the rattle on the table to tease him.
"I haven't had time to rest yet." Zhao Rao said without raising her head, "The natural disaster came out of nowhere, and I can't feel at ease all the time. I always think it's a warning."
"Even if it's a warning, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with our country of Qi. The natural disasters in Jin and Beiming countries are not small." Zhao Xiang said, "You have sent troops to save the people in time, your majesty, you have done enough. "
Zhao Rao shook his head and smiled, shaking the memorial that he had reviewed in his hand, "Many places are still suffering from drought."
"Your Majesty, even when the late emperor was here, there were disasters of drought." Zhao Xiang said, and couldn't bear to see Zhao Rao always blaming himself.
"Is there any news from Beiming Kingdom?" Zhao Rao saw another memorial, which was related to Beiming Kingdom, "Jin Kingdom has already put Beitang Yu back."
When mentioning Jin Guo, Zhao Rao's eyes flashed with hatred.
Zhao Xiang said, "Beitangyu has already gone back, and Yuan Kingdom seems to have sent troops to Qingyuan as well."
"It seems that Shui Yichen also wants a share." Zhao Rao stood up with a sneer, and said to the palace man, "Go and invite General Song into the palace."
As long as it involves Jin Guo or Lu Yaoyao, Zhao Rao becomes another person, full of hatred and anger, and her hatred for Lu Yaoyao has not been eliminated.
After Cheng Zheng's death, Zhao Rao only wanted to kill Lu Yaoyao, so she was defeated by Jin Guo. If she hadn't almost lost her child, she would not have been able to calmly raise the baby. What made Zhao Xiang feel relieved was that since giving birth Little prince, Zhao Rao's heart seems to have calmed down a lot, and a smile gradually appeared on her face, thinking that she had let go of her hatred.
But when it comes to Jinguo, she still goes back to the hatred-filled Joong-ah.
Song Hongao came soon.
As soon as Zhao Rao saw him, he asked, "What's the situation in Beiming Kingdom now?"
"Northern Kingdom?" Song Hongao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhao Rao to suddenly care about the Northern Kingdom. Since signing the non-war agreement with Jin Kingdom, Qi has almost no diplomatic relations. All Zhao Rao's thoughts are on the little prince. , "... Beitang Xuanwei is missing, Beitang Yu has just returned to Dingdu City, if the news is correct, Shui Yichen is also there now."
"Where are Murong Zhan and Lu Yaoyao?" Zhao Rao asked, she didn't care about others, she just wanted to know Lu Yaoyao's whereabouts.
All her life, she must find a chance to kill Lu Yaoyao.
Song Hongao could have avoided what Lu Yaoyao didn't want to say, "I heard that they are also in the capital city, but I don't know what it is."
"What can they do? It's just for Beiming Kingdom. General Song, you once said that Beitang Yu's two sons are not great, and Beiming Kingdom is doomed to perish." Zhao Rao said in a low voice. , "In this case, why don't we send troops to Beiming Kingdom?"
"Your Majesty?" Song Hongao looked at Zhao Rao in surprise.
Zhao Rao said, "Shui Yichen has also sent troops to the Beiming Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom will definitely carve up the Beiming Kingdom. I can't just watch them grow up."
Qi State used to be the most powerful country in the world, even if she was not as good as her father, she still couldn't make Qi State the weakest country, and would only be bullied by others.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to send troops?" Song Hongao asked in a low voice. They had fought against the Kingdom of Jin before, and the treasury was consumed a lot. There have been natural disasters in the past year, and they should actually continue to recharge their batteries.
"Yes." Zhao Rao nodded resolutely. She signed a non-war agreement with Jin Guo, but she didn't say that she couldn't send troops to attack Beiming Kingdom. "You take troops to Chanzhou. If Yuan Guo doesn't move, we won't move either."
It all depends on what happens in Dingducheng in the end.
Song Hongao thought about it silently, knowing that Zhao Rao's decision was not a whim, she must have considered it for a long time.
If the Beiming Kingdom is really subjugated, the Jin Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom will definitely divide up the land. If the Qi Kingdom does nothing, then... maybe it will become the second Beiming Kingdom.
"I would like to lead the troops to Chanzhou." Song Hongao said, this is for Qi.
Zhao Rao smiled faintly, turned her head to look at her son, she must take revenge, but she will no longer be as impulsive as before, she has no right to be desperate, because she still has to protect her son, he is the most important person in this world to her up.
"Shui Yichen leads the troops in Qingyuan, Ye Chunnan is in the wasteland, and we are in Chanzhou. Now Beiming Kingdom has been surrounded. If there is a real fight at that time, find a way to join forces with Yuan Kingdom." Zhao Rao turned around and said Song Hongao said, "Shui Yichen will join hands with us."
