Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Afterwards, everyone got back on the carriages and sedan chairs and returned to the palace.

After another round of warm greetings, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, which was decorated with lights and full of delicacies.

After everyone was seated, the emperor raised his glass and said:

"Today, the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager, my second brother's family, and Prince Chen have returned to Daxia. They have worked hard on the journey. I have specially organized this banquet to welcome my father, my mother, and everyone else." Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

During the banquet, there was singing and dancing. The musicians played melodious music and the dancers danced gracefully.

The princes and princesses toasted the retired emperor and the empress dowager to express their thoughts and respect.

After three rounds of drinking, the emperor raised his glass to Shangguan Chengwei and said:

"Father, I have returned just in time for the New Year. I wonder if you and Mother are still leaving?"

Shangguan Chengwei put down his wine glass, thought for a moment and said:

“This time I went to Dasheng mainly to spend more time with your second brother and to send He girl off for marriage.

In my spare time, your mother and I often traveled around the capital of Dasheng and its surrounding areas, and I learned a lot from Dasheng.

From now on, your second brother will also settle in Daxia, and your mother and I have no intention of leaving in the short term."

The emperor was delighted when he heard this, and looked at Shangguan Jing and asked:

"Second brother is finally going to return to Daxia to settle down? That's great. We can see each other more often and spend more time together in the future."

Shangguan Jing smiled and replied:

"Brother, since I am from Daxia, I must return to Daxia to learn more about my motherland.

It’s just that I grew up in Dasheng, and Qinghe is also in Dasheng, so I will have to visit Daxia often in the future.”

The emperor laughed and said, "That's great! It is a great blessing for Daxia that my second brother can come back. I wonder what plans my second brother has for Daxia in the future?"

Shangguan Jing hesitated for a moment and said:

"I want to first get familiar with Daxia's customs and culture, and then see if I can contribute to Daxia's development."

Shangguan Chengwei said on the side:

“Although your second brother has never been to school since he was young, he has mastered martial arts.

Now he is also working hard to learn classics, history, literature, riding, archery and martial arts, and is making rapid progress. In particular, your second brother is quite knowledgeable in farming.

There are still many areas for improvement in the development of Daxia's agriculture, and Jing'er will definitely be able to help Daxia in this regard."

A hint of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said quickly:

"If my second brother can help us, it will be a blessing for the people of Daxia."

Shangguan Jing smiled modestly and said, “I was able to make progress because of my father’s guidance.

Furthermore, as a member of the royal family, if I am still illiterate, it would be a disgrace to the royal family. I will need your guidance in the future."

After saying this, Shangguan Jing clasped his fists and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor stood up, walked to Shangguan Jing, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly:

"Don't be so modest, my second brother. Everyone in my Shangguan family is a top talent. You can always make a difference in adversity. I believe you can show your talents in Daxia."

Shang Yajun looked at the two of them with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Seeing you brothers working together, your father and I are very pleased.

Since Jing'er has decided to stay in Daxia and work for Daxia, he needs your help as the eldest brother. I believe that Daxia will become more prosperous with the joint efforts of you brothers. "

The emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, father and mother, we brothers will be friendly and respectful to each other and work together to make Daxia more glorious."

"Yes, my son must grow up well and assist his elder brother to the best of his ability."

Shangguan Chengwei and Shang Yajun nodded in agreement, "Then it's up to you from now on."

The emperor looked at Shangguan Jing and asked, "Second brother, what are your plans for farming in Daxia?"

Shangguan Jing glanced at his daughter Qinghe, feeling relieved, and said:

“I had been farming and hunting at home before, so I knew a little about growing crops.

This year Qinghe discovered many crops in Dasheng and the planting results were very good.

I would like to first conduct a field survey of the farmland conditions in various parts of Daxia, understand the farming rules and the needs of the people, and then combine what I have learned in Dasheng to explore a development method suitable for Daxia. I hope that my brother can give me support. "

The emperor patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, my second brother, I will give you my full support. If you need manpower and material resources, just ask."

Everyone nodded, full of expectations for Shangguan Jing's help in the development of agriculture in Daxia, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more lively.

After the banquet, the emperor and the empress asked the retired emperor and the empress dowager to stay in the palace.

The two old men agreed, thinking that they had not been in Daxia for a long time.

Regarding the residence of Shangguan Jing's family, the Queen took Qin's hand and said affectionately:

"Sister-in-law, when you returned to Daxia, Prince Jing's Palace was still under construction, but now it has been completed.

I have arranged for the servants to clean up every day, waiting for you to return to Daxia. I will go back later to see if there is anything you need, just tell my sister-in-law. "

Qin smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Queen Sister-in-law, for your trouble. Then we will go and take a look."

"Okay, once you're settled, I'll arrange a palace banquet to announce to everyone that you'll be settling down in Daxia."

"Okay. Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law."

Everyone stood up together and walked towards Prince Jing's palace.

The Prince Jing's Mansion is located in the center of the capital, occupying a vast area of ​​land. Its main gate faces south, facing a busy street with many shops on both sides and people coming and going.

Arriving at the Prince Jing's Palace, I saw the vermilion gate was extraordinary, with the three characters "Prince Jing's Palace" written on the plaque. The walls of the palace were tall and solid, made of bluestone bricks and covered with glazed tiles, which looked solemn and majestic.

The wall is surrounded by green trees and flowers, forming a beautiful green barrier.

Entering the palace gate, there is a spacious courtyard with a flat and smooth bluestone brick floor.

There is a fountain in the center of the courtyard, and in the middle of the fountain is a stone-carved Qilin, with clear spring water spewing out of its mouth.

The fountain is surrounded by various flowers, colorful and beautiful.

On the east and west sides of the courtyard are rows of side rooms. The doors and windows of the side rooms are carved with exquisite patterns, giving them an antique feel.

Behind the wing room is a garden, which is planted with various precious flowers, plants and trees. The weather in summer is as warm as spring, and only in winter is the weather slightly cold.

Therefore, you can still see a lot of green plants and flowers in the capital of Daxia.

There is also a rockery in the garden, with a pavilion on the hill, and the pavilion is surrounded by wisteria flowers.

Across the garden is the main building of the palace - the main hall.

The main hall is a magnificent palace with an elegant and solemn architectural style. The roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the ridge is carved with various mythical beasts and floral patterns.

The interior decoration of the main hall is luxurious, with carved beams and painted buildings, and it is magnificent.

The hall houses tablets and portraits of successive King Jing, which is solemn and dignified.

On both sides of the main hall are side halls, which have a similar architectural style to the main hall but are smaller in scale.

The interior decoration of the side hall is also very exquisite. It is where King Jing and his queens live.
