Everyone in my harem is talented

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, may you be blessed!"

"Your Majesty, I need ice, but those damn servants withheld my ice!" Before Qin Zhi could call out, Concubine Rou Liu Yiren angrily complained to Qin Zhi.

Under the control of progesterone, she could hardly control her temper.

The palace servants from Lanlin Palace followed behind with several eunuchs.

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty, we are wronged. Your Majesty is pregnant, and the imperial physician said that it is not appropriate to use ice. Therefore, we did not send ice to Lanlin Palace and Yuntai Palace."

"Your Majesty, I can ask the palace maid to put the Bingjian away. If it is not delivered, they must have embezzled it." Concubine Rou's voice was a little sharp.

"Your Majesty, Si Yu, the commander of the Capital Region, requests to see you." Zhang Deli suddenly entered the hall and reported.

"Send him in."

"Okay, I still have government affairs to take care of. You go to Luanyi Palace to find Concubine Yi. Go back now." Qin Zhi touched her head and said gently.

"Your Majesty~" Liu Yiren grabbed Qin Zhi's sleeve and shook it.

Qin Zhi said in a hard voice: "Go back!"

He who knows the times is a hero. If you don't accept the toast, you will be punished. Liu Yiren decisively chose to leave.

"Your Majesty, I will go back now. Your Majesty, can you come and have dinner with me tonight?"

"Let me take a look."

Not getting a positive answer, Concubine Rou left Qingliang Palace with a pout.

"Zhang Deli, have someone go to Yuntai Palace to ask Yingpin if she's hot. If she is, move her and Roupin to Lanchi Palace to avoid the heat and come back in autumn.

The cool breeze from the Orchid Pond has been blowing over the Orchid Pond Palace. The Orchid Pond has always been a holy place for the emperor to escape the summer heat.

Lan Chi Palace is also in the imperial palace, beside the Lan Chi, but it is a bit far from Qin Zhi's current bedroom.

It is relatively close to Ci'an Palace, but if you want to pay your respects there, it will take nearly an hour to walk there.

They are pregnant with a royal heir, so the Queen Mother will not make things difficult for them and ask them to go and pay their respects.

It doesn't matter whether it's far or not.

In previous years, Qin Zhi also spent the summer in Lanchi Palace. However, this summer, he chose to move to Qingliang Palace near Taiye Lake because it was convenient for him to fish on the Jiantai beside Taiye Lake at any time.

"Your Majesty, I, Si Yu, the commander of the Capital Region Department, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"I beg you."

"Your Majesty, the criminal Prince Wu and his family have been imprisoned by me."

"This action of yours did not alarm Xin Yun who is beside the Empress Dowager. She returned to the capital at the same time as me, and she is probably already in the palace now."

"Your Majesty, when the people from the Capital Affairs Bureau destroyed the place where the prince of Wu raised private soldiers and forged iron to forge weapons, they found some unexpected gains. I want to present them to Your Majesty!"

Si Yu took out a stack of papers filled with words and handed them to Qin Zhi: "Your Majesty, take a look, he has been developing something called a cannon, and wants to combine it with Danshi's gunpowder to use as a weapon. However, I have seen that what they have made can only be used for deterrence, and the power is really limited. However, I think this thing will have great potential in the future.

He is a traitor and actually has such a good thing. Before your Majesty kills him, you must let me interrogate him and see if I can get anything else out of him."

As he spoke, he revealed a vicious smile.

"Okay, keep an eye on him and don't let him commit suicide. Leave these things behind, and go back to count the people first, and try to capture the remaining gangs in the capital before the queen mother reacts. As for the artillery and gunpowder, I will let the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War take over the research, so you go first."

"Zhang Deli, go to Ci'an Palace and invite the Empress Dowager to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I will be waiting for her there."

In Ci'an Palace.

Xinyun was reporting to the Queen Mother what she had seen and heard.

"My lady, I went to Qingzhou and saw His Royal Highness. He has lost a lot of weight, and he is so thin that he looks unrecognizable."

"That child must be very depressed."

"I tried to persuade the prince to leave his bloodline, but he said that he would wait until he could reach the capital and then ask your niece Lu Xinyin." Xinyun's voice was so weak that it was difficult to express.

The Queen Mother said angrily again: "What does this have to do with Xiyin? Have you asked clearly? Is she another vixen like the deposed concubine?" Xinyun's words hit the hidden pain point in her heart.

The Queen Mother loves her younger brother-in-law, Prince Wu, but both the Prince and her husband are deeply in love with Concubine Chen.

When she was about to get angry, a bucket of cold water was poured on her. "Empress Dowager, Eunuch Zhang Deli wants to see you."

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and said, "Send him in."
