She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Then a small figure ran in. It was the eldest prince, Cao Hongyi.

He is one and a half years younger than Yu Yuanzheng's three children and is already over eight years old.

She has a fair and clean complexion and looks 50% like the emperor.

A handsome and cute age.

Following behind was the second prince, who was also six years old.

Then there are Shangguan Changyu and the other three.

As soon as the children came in, the hall immediately became much more lively.

"Why don't you call me aunt?" The queen pulled the eldest prince and the second prince over and brought them in front of Yu Yuanzheng.

"Aunt." The two children called out in unison.

Emperor Qiming named Yu Yuanzheng the Princess Zhenguo, so it was appropriate for the two princes to call her aunt, and it seemed more intimate.

"After not seeing you for a few months, the two princes have grown taller and look stronger."

"Recently, their father has changed their martial arts master, who has stricter requirements and is training them." The queen explained with a smile.

"That's right. Boys need to move more so they can grow strong. The Queen was very active back then. Look at how healthy she is. She's already given birth to three children in just a few years. Why didn't you bring the little princess with you?"

"She was afraid of the cold and didn't want to come out, so she wasn't brought to the Queen Mother."

The little princess born to the queen is almost four years old.

time flies.

At this time, Emperor Qiming also arrived and they greeted each other.

Emperor Qiming sat in the main seat and was very happy to see the children.

"Your Majesty, the goods we brought back will soon be shipped to the capital. What are your plans next?" Yu Yuanzheng knew that Emperor Qiming was a person who could not sit still.

"I have arranged people to continue placing orders with various merchants, and am preparing to go to Estria with the foreigners. You should go with us this time. I will feel uneasy without you." Emperor Qiming made another reservation for Yu Yuanzheng in the future.

Is he treating her as his personal doctor, or does he want to take advantage of her luck?

But it doesn't matter.

"This time I plan to bring the eldest prince with me, so that he can go out and see the world, and not be a frog in the well." Emperor Qiming waved to the eldest prince and called him over.

"You will have to shoulder the responsibility of the Great Wei in the future. You can't be too ignorant. You have to know what the outside world is like. Only then will you know the gap between our Great Wei and others. Don't let your guard down just because there is no threat from Canglan."

Emperor Qiming taught earnestly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take note of it." The eldest prince nodded solemnly.

The emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, but everyone knows that there will be no one else except him.

So he began to receive education as a future monarch at an early age.

"Princess Zhenguo, you played an indispensable role in Yan'er's escape from danger this time."

"What are you talking about, the Emperor? She is my dearest sister-in-law."

"Yes. You deserve the title of miracle doctor."

"Your Majesty, are the foreigners who came this time still the same group as Edward?" Yu Yuanzheng changed the subject and stopped talking about the dangerous incident.

As soon as she came back, she encountered the incident of the Eighth Princess, and she didn't even know about the foreigners entering Beijing.

"No, the one who came this time is Edward's son, Jack. They are all young people."

Yu Yuanzheng thought about it and understood. Edward was already in his forties, and his wife probably didn't agree with him running around anymore, so it was his son who came out this time.

"Then when do you plan to set off again?" Yu Yuanzheng also needed to make a plan.

It was impossible for her to stay with Emperor Qiming for a long time. She had to train more people so that if Emperor Qiming went somewhere else in the future, she could leave him alone.

Just let her lead the way this time.

She also wanted to visit the country of Estria.

As they were chatting, the emperor also arrived, followed by Shangguan Ziqi.

The two had just been discussing state affairs in the imperial study.

The main discussion was what to do with the goods they brought back.

We will be able to enter Beijing tomorrow.

Another round of greetings.

"Is the Eighth Princess okay?" Although the emperor knew that the Eighth Princess had a difficult delivery and that Yu Yuanzheng had performed a caesarean section on her, he was not clear about the details.

Yu Yuanzheng told the story of the Eighth Princess again.

The emperor raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Princess Zhenguo's medical skills are truly unmatched in the world. If you can spread this technique, my Great Wei will have many more children."

"Your Majesty, I will have to try this again. That day, I had no other choice. I was determined to die. I didn't have a 100% chance of success at that time."

Yu Yuanzheng was still very scared afterwards. Not only was she her brother's sister-in-law, but she was also the daughter of the retired emperor and the empress dowager.

But if she doesn't take action, the Eighth Princess will have no way out.

"You saved her, that's a fact." The emperor affirmed her contribution.

"With the precedent of the Eighth Princess, you should try again and strive to perfect this technique. Then teach more people how to do it. Then, women in the Wei Dynasty will no longer have to die in childbirth.

Regarding this, I once asked the Ministry of Revenue to do statistics. Every year, nearly 10,000 women in our Great Wei die from childbirth complications.

This number may not seem large, but year after year, it is a terrifying number.”

There is no war in Wei now, and the emperor focuses his energy on people's livelihood, so he pays more attention to these data.

He hoped to increase the population of Wei by more than half during his lifetime.

By then, Da Wei will be able to create more wealth.

If we want population growth, medical care is the key.

Of course, this view was conveyed to him by Yu Yuanzheng, and he agreed with it very much.

"Yes, your Majesty will obey." Yu Yuanzheng stood up and bowed.

In fact, as long as the anesthetic is effective enough, there will be no problem in spreading this surgery.

It currently requires more practice and further improvement.

"By the way, Changyu and Changrui will be ten years old in three months. They can be crowned as Crown Princes. Let them come to the palace to accompany the eldest prince in his studies. It's time for them to focus on their studies."

The emperor glanced back and forth between the children.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng looked at each other and both knew what the emperor meant.

The emperor may be about to appoint a crown prince.

Now the eldest prince and the second prince are both born to the queen. Although there are other concubines who have given birth to princes, they can never be compared with the two legitimate princes, so there is no need to drag it out like Emperor Qiming did back then.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country, so the sooner he is appointed, the better.

The court officials can also feel at ease and have fewer ulterior motives.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, father, news has come from the north that an iron mine has been discovered there." The emperor talked about a memorial he received this morning.

"Really? Where is it?" Emperor Qiming's eyes lit up when he heard it.

The only bad thing about Wei is that it has few iron mines.

“It’s the Dayin Mountain outside Jingkai City.

The mountain is not small. The reason why iron ore was not discovered before is because the trees are quite dense.

In recent years, a group of craftsmen went into the mountains to quarry stones. After mining the surface layer, they found that the color of the underlying layer was very similar to iron ore, which attracted the attention of the prefect.

I asked the blacksmith to collect some and try to refine it, and the result was that the iron yield was quite high."

Shangguan Ziqi knew where it was as soon as he heard it.

This was exactly the place where they found the iron box.

It is also the place where Prince Liu of Southern Shu fell off the cliff.

Yu Yuanzheng also thought of it.

Then I couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Mother, what are you laughing at?" Shangguan Yajing was standing next to Yu Yuanzheng and was very surprised to see her laugh.

"Haha..." Shangguan Ziqi laughed out loud.

Everyone was even more confused.
