My subjects are too rebellious!

Li Qiliang wrote down everything Qin Chuan taught him, and he also tried to include both pictures and text.

He even drew simple drawings of the steps so that the craftsmen could understand each step at a glance during the future production process.

After Qin Chuan finished teaching, Li Qiliang also completed this detailed skill manual.

Qin Chuan saw this scene and said to Li Qiliang what he thought of.

"Minister Li, I want to emphasize that these skills and techniques are confidential and must not be leaked to anyone. Once leaked, it may not only damage the interests of the Wu Dynasty, but also cause unnecessary disputes and chaos."

“So you have to take good care of these materials and make sure they are safe.”

"At the same time, I want you to remember that everything made using these skills and techniques must be managed and supervised by the government. This is to ensure product quality and market stability, and to prevent private traders from using these techniques to make huge profits."

"Therefore, you must strictly enforce this regulation and never allow any private actions to occur."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiliang nodded solemnly and said that he would strictly abide by it.

..........

Deep in the palace, spring is in full swing.

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the carved window lattices onto Qin Chuan's dragon robe. He stepped lightly into the bedroom of Concubine Hui, Li Shishi.

The sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattices and falls on Li Shishi's gentle face, adding a touch of holiness and gentleness to her.

She sat comfortably on the couch in front of the window, wearing a simple and elegant brocade robe with fluttering sleeves, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Li Shishi's hand gently stroked her growing belly, her eyes filled with maternal light.

Qin Chuan stepped forward, gently took her hand, and asked softly: "Shishi, are you feeling well? Has the child been naughty? You must take care of yourself. If you need anything, just let me know."

Li Shishi looked up, tears of happiness sparkling in her eyes.

She shook her head gently and said softly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I am fine. The baby is very well behaved in your belly, and the occasional kicks are so powerful that I am very relieved. I only hope to give birth to a little prince or princess safely to comfort your majesty and add new vitality to the Wu Dynasty."

When Qin Chuan heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He reached out and gently held Li Shishi's hand, and their hands were tightly clasped.

He said gently, "Shishi, you have worked hard. You have paid too much for this child. I will do everything I can to ensure the safety and health of you and the child. You just need to rest assured and take care of the baby. Leave the rest to me."

Li Shishi felt the warmth of Qin Chuan's palm and the affection in his words, and her heart was filled with happiness.

She nodded and responded softly: "I obey your command. With Your Majesty here, I am not afraid of anything."

..........

Then Qin Chuan went to Shuiyun Palace.

In the bedroom of Concubine De Shangguan Wan'er, the light is soft and warm, and the whole space is filled with a faint scent of books.

The interior of Shuiyun Palace is decorated in an elegant and scholarly manner, with rows of neatly arranged bookshelves filled with all kinds of ancient books and classics.

The sunlight filtered through the half-open window, onto a large desk, illuminating Shangguan Wan'er's face as she concentrated on reading.

Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a light and elegant palace dress, with a simple and elegant bun. A few strands of hair gently fell in front of her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness and tenderness to her.

She held an ancient book in her hand, her fingertips gently stroking each line of text, sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes smiling, completely immersed in the world of the book.

Even during pregnancy, she still maintained her love for books.

It seemed as if books were her safe haven, allowing her to temporarily forget her physical fatigue and discomfort.

Qin Chuan gently pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom with light steps.

His eyes were instantly attracted by Shangguan Wan'er's focused and devoted figure.

He approached slowly, afraid to disturb Shangguan Wan'er.

It was not until he stood beside Shangguan Wan'er that she noticed the visitor's presence. She looked up at Qin Chuan, with a hint of surprise and tenderness in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Shangguan Wan'er's voice was soft, with a hint of laziness as if she had just come out of the sea of ​​books.

Qin Chuan smiled and replied: "I heard that you still remember reading during your pregnancy, so I came to see you. Wan'er, you are indeed a woman of outstanding talent. Even at this moment, you remember to enrich yourself."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled gently, closed the ancient book in her hand and put it aside.

She stood up and walked to Qin Chuan. They stood side by side, looking at the blue sky outside the window.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I just had nothing to do, so I casually flipped through a few books to relieve my boredom. Although there are many inconveniences during pregnancy, it also allows me to have more time to calm down and think about some issues that I don't have time to take care of normally."

After hearing this, Qin Chuan felt even more distressed for Shangguan Wan'er.

He reached out, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Wan'er, you have worked hard."

"I know your pregnancy is not easy, but please believe that no matter what happens, I will be by your side and face it with you. You are the most precious thing in my heart."

Shangguan Wan'er felt the warmth of Qin Chuan's palm and the affection in his words, and her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

She looked up at Qin Chuan, gently raised her toes and kissed him.

.....

Then, Qin Chuan slowly took out an exquisite gift from his sleeve.

A hand-made leaf bookmark.

This bookmark uses a fallen leaf with perfect shape and natural color. After his careful processing, the edge of the leaf is finely polished into smooth lines, and a touch of light golden gauze is cleverly embedded in the center, like the first ray of sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves in the morning light, full of poetry.

Qin Chuan handed the bookmark to Shangguan Wan'er with a smile, and said softly: "Wan'er, this is a small gift I made for you in my spare time. I hope you like it. Although it is not as priceless as the treasures in the palace, it carries my love for you."

Shangguan Wan'er took the bookmark, with a hint of surprise and emotion in her eyes.

She looked at the bookmark carefully and was amazed by its exquisite appearance.

She gently stroked every inch of texture on the leaves, feeling the warmth and care from Qin Chuan, and a warm current surged in her heart.

"Your Majesty, this is so beautiful!"

There was a hint of trembling and joy in Shangguan Wan'er's voice.

"The bookmark you made by hand is more precious to me than any other treasure. I will keep it with me, and whenever I read, I will think of your deep affection for me."

"Wan'er, having you by my side is the greatest happiness in my life."

Qin Chuan whispered in Shangguan Wan'er's ear, "No matter what the future holds, I will spend it with you forever."

Shangguan Wan'er snuggled tightly in Qin Chuan's arms. She knew that she had found her true home in this life.
