Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful

Ziwei then detailed a list of common genetic diseases, such as congenital heart disease and hemophilia. With a solemn expression, she explained, "These diseases not only cause immense pain and severely impact the individual's health, but they often lead to premature death. Furthermore, inbreeding can also lead to a host of other risks, such as intellectual disability, developmental delays, and immune system deficiencies. Even worse, some children are born with disabilities, facing a lifetime of unending suffering."

Finally, Ziwei took a deep breath and solemnly advised, "Therefore, for the sake of our dynasty's continued population growth and the healthy birth of newborns, Your Majesty, please consider issuing an edict to prohibit marriages between close relatives. This will ensure the prosperity and longevity of our Qing dynasty's descendants."

Qianlong simply shook his head in disapproval of her words. After all, for thousands of years, it had been common practice for nobles to maintain family ties through close-kin marriages, and no one had ever publicly claimed that this form of marriage had any drawbacks.

Ziwei naturally noticed the look of distrust on Qianlong's face, but she knew in her heart that it would be difficult to convince him with just a few words.

Ziwei then spoke again, "Your Majesty, please send someone to the capital and surrounding areas to conduct a detailed investigation. You know, a country's prosperity is closely related to its population, and the many problems caused by inbreeding are truly a matter of great concern to the national economy and people's livelihood. Your Majesty, please pay close attention to this matter!"

At this moment, Ziwei had a solemn and dignified look on her face, and even Qianlong couldn't help being moved.

This daughter, whom he doted on, had always been regarded as a fairy sent down from heaven. Perhaps she had really learned these little-known secrets from the fairyland?

Although this traditional custom has been followed for thousands of years, nothing is absolute, and perhaps there are indeed errors in it. Rather than stubbornly insisting on one's own opinion, it would be better to send someone to conduct an in-depth investigation, which would be more convincing.

Thinking of this, Qianlong made a quick decision and said, "Okay, let's do as Ziwei says. Li Yu, go and invite Prince Heqin here quickly!"

After Li Yu took his orders and left, Ziwei turned to look at the empty courtyard, a faint smile on her lips, and said, "Father and Mother, I have carefully collected many rare and precious things recently and brought them here especially for you!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand gracefully, and in an instant, as if by magic, a multitude of objects appeared out of thin air. The sheer number of objects was astonishing. This sudden scene left the emperor and empress stunned and dumbfounded.

"Then...are those all pearls?" The queen's eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the mountain of objects before her. Her voice trembled with astonishment. She pointed with a trembling finger at the mountain-like pile of pearls, her face filled with astonishment, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

Qianlong, standing by, was even more exaggerated. He stared intently at a strange creature several meters long, his face pale and his whole body trembling. He stretched out a finger, tremblingly pointing at the wriggling creature, and shouted at the top of his voice, "What kind of monster is that? It...it can actually move!"

Hearing Qianlong's cry, the empress quickly turned her head to look. When her eyes met the strange creature, she was immediately terrified and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, fearing that she would scream. In extreme fear, she subconsciously hid behind Qianlong, her body trembling.

Seeing the panicked look on the Empress's face, Ziwei, who was standing nearby, quickly explained, "Don't be afraid, Empress Dowager. This isn't a monster, but a kind of edible fish from the depths of the ocean called tuna. Not only is its meat incredibly delicious, it's also incredibly nutritious. It's rich in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and various minerals, all beneficial to human health."

"This kind of fish is perfectly fine for pregnant women to eat, but remember not to eat too much! The unsaturated fatty acids it contains play a vital role in the development of the fetus's brain and retina. Not only that, eating it can also significantly enhance your immunity."

After hearing her detailed explanation, the Empress, who had been hiding behind Emperor Qianlong, finally couldn't contain her curiosity. She slowly stepped out and asked in amazement, "Oh, this fish is so handsome! Look at its back, it's a deep, charming blue. Compared to the common fish we eat every day, the difference is so huge! Ziwei, are all the fish in the underwater world so beautiful and charming?"

Facing the Queen's question, Ziwei couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in her heart - she should have gone to the bottom of the sea to explore it herself earlier. Fortunately, she had a rich experience in her previous life. She had read a lot of information about the underwater world and even visited an aquarium herself.

After a moment's thought, Ziwei began to answer methodically, "The seabed is actually a wondrous world overflowing with vitality and filled with endless mysteries. The terrain there is incredibly varied and rich, with towering mountains and deep, precipitous canyons; vast plains and bottomless trenches."

"And those magnificent coral reefs are countless. The enormous coral ornament in your palace is made up of the skeletons of countless coral polyps accumulated over time. Deep in the vast ocean, these magnificent coral reefs are not just beautiful sights to behold; they are also warm homes for countless marine creatures."

"As for marine life, there are countless varieties. From tiny plankton to giant whales, there's everything. They come in all different shapes and colors. The seabed is really beautiful."

After hearing the vivid description, the emperor and the empress could not help but yearn for what Ziwei said. They looked at Ziwei with eager and pitiful eyes, like two children longing for candy.

Being stared at like this, Ziwei felt a little uneasy, but at the same time, a wonderful idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

Now that she had successfully established her foundation, she could soar freely in the sky. If she could take these two noble people on a trip together to broaden their horizons, especially to allow Emperor Qianlong to gain some knowledge, wouldn't that be a wonderful thing?
