    Reader note

    In the historical fiction category, I strongly recommend this book as the first one. The writing is excellent and has the style of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. The logic is strict, the plot is compact, and it is very realistic. War, economy, politics, and resources are very closely intertwined. No time travel, no brainless fun, no cheats, no wisdom, no romance, no system, and avoid all vulgar plots. The current main plot trend of the first volume: The first volume is about watching a tall building rise and collapse, and then in Chapter 10, under the guidance of an expert, a reasonable reversal of tactics is completed. The second volume is full of the bitterness of workers at the bottom of the workplace who are squeezed but find ways to work their way up. The third volume begins with a battle volume, and begins to enter the violent aesthetic of blood and flesh. So far in the fourth volume, the worldview has once again been upgraded, with the map of East Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia being fully expanded to include multiple countries and multiple forces, forming a multi-polar geopolitical game pattern.

    It will be Wang Ziwei's birthday in a few days, and Ding Dali and his wife came to the palace together. Ding Dali wore a sixth-grade official robe. I was a little curious, and after asking, I learned that Feng Baizhan had given him a false position as a military guard. "It's the Duke of Qin who treats you well. Neither I nor your brother thought of finding an official position for you." I said to Ding Dali teasingly, "Don't let down his good intentions. Work hard!" Ding Dali was still as simple and honest as before. Even if he put on official robes, he still didn't have much majesty and bearing. He said to me with a smile: "Hehe" "Mother, what a joke! It's just a casual job, running errands for convenience. There are so many snobberies in the capital, so there is nothing we can do about it." Ding Dali has not changed much, but his wife Ding Feng has lost the simple and shy look of the past, and her words and deeds are quite like an official wife. They told me that they had not seen me and her sister for a long time, and they were really worried about us, so they came to visit me specially and also to send Wang Ziwei a birthday gift. I took a look at the items they gave me, which were filled with several boxes, and my face darkened. I told them that I missed Ding Xiaomei and I, so they could come over at any time, but they had to take the gifts back. Wang Ziwei is a child, and it's just a birthday, so there's no need to send so many congratulatory gifts! Ding Dali was a clumsy talker and would just keep saying that I must accept it. His wife, Ding Feng, was more eloquent than him. She asked me to accept it because they were not the only ones who gave the gifts. Many of them were purchased by Wang Ziwei's nanny, Sister Feng. She pointed to the things in the box and told me that what she gave me were clothes and materials for Wang Ziwei and the little prince, as well as some toys and jewelry, just to make them happy. Sister Feng is Wang Ziwei's nanny, and she has always regarded her as her own daughter. Thinking that it was her birthday, she asked them to bring her here. In addition, she knew that the empress could not eat authentic Yunzhou food in Beijing, so she specially arranged for the Yunzhou chef in the mansion to make some snacks and give me a taste of the food. If I like it, Sister Feng will arrange for someone to send it to me regularly. After listening to what Ding Feng said, I knew that they were just standing in front of Sister Feng to pave the way. Sister Feng knows that I don't like her. If she rashly says she wants to see me, she may not be able to see me. However, people said that for this reason, it would seem a bit unkind for me to refuse again, so I had to reluctantly accept it. He also told Ding Dali and the others that it would be Wang Ziwei's birthday in two days and Sister Feng would invite her to come with her if it was convenient. When these two people heard what I said, they immediately beamed and said many beautiful words. I dealt with them casually for a few words, then excused myself and walked away, letting them have a good chat with Miss Ding. For Wang Ziwei's birthday, I originally just wanted to make her a beautiful outfit and cook some of her favorite dishes. Now that we are being treated like this, it seems that it is impossible not to put a table on the table and entertain them. An Chunhai asked me how many people I wanted to invite so that he could let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare a banquet. "They are all female relatives. I will invite the Queen Mother and the Queen, but they should be busy and may not be free. The wife of Duke Qin, as well as Sima Zhaoyi and Bai Zhaoyi, General Ding's wife, I will go and invite Aunt Liu..." I thought for a moment and said to An Chunhai: "There is also Sima Zhaoyi's aunt, please help me send an invitation. Make it clear to her that it is just a small gathering, and it would be best if it is convenient for you to come. The rest are the people in the palace. If the Queen Mother is busy, then the palace door will be closed, and the family will not engage in such frivolous formalities." ****** The Empress Dowager Lafayette was not feeling well and no one came over, so she asked Aunt Liu to bring two jade ruyi and gave them to Wang Ziwei and Xia Zhengwu. Wang Feng'er flatly rejected my invitation. Which is fine, because I didn't even want to invite her over. When Sima Ai heard Wang Ziwei's invitation, she gladly accepted it at first. But when I heard that I also invited Sister Feng and Bai Ling'er, my face became a little unnatural. "I also invited your aunt." I told her with a smile, "She is my mentor and helpful friend. I often write to her to ask for advice on many things. You are Wang Ziwei's teacher, and she is my teacher. This can be regarded as a thank you banquet for our mother and daughter." As for the two people outside the palace, the invitation was sent by An Chunhai. According to his description, the reactions were completely different. Sister Feng immediately beamed when she saw the invitation I sent her. The dignified wife of the Duke of Guo, greeted An Chunhai, a sixth-grade eunuch, and showed her hospitality. When it came to the emotional part, she even told An Chunhai with tears and snot in her eyes, asking him to convey her gratitude. It was Wang Ziwei's birthday, and the empress still remembered her as a nanny, and she was so happy. Even if there was a knife outside that day, she would definitely come over to spend this birthday with Wang Ziwei. Compared with the big drama played by Sister Feng, Mr. Sima was very calm. After receiving the invitation, apart from asking An Chunhai to thank him on his behalf, he said nothing else. ************ On her birthday, Wang Ziwei was rarely so proud. She dressed in new clothes and accompanied me to greet every guest who came. In addition to giving her a precious inkstone and a brush, her teacher Sima Ai also gave her a set of unique books that he had treasured for many years. But compared to these gifts, Wang Ziwei was more concerned about the child in Sima Ai's belly. Looking at her unswelled belly, she asked Sima Ai anxiously: "Aunt Sima, why is your belly still flat? When can you have a baby? And Aunt Sima, how do you know you have a baby in your belly? Where did the baby get into your belly?" Wang Ziwei's words made Sima Ai look shy, and her face suddenly turned red. Seeing everyone laughing from ear to ear, Wang Ziwei became even more confused and anxious. She asked loudly, "What are you doing? Did I just ask because I didn't know?" I pulled Wang Ziwei aside with a straight face and asked her to calm down. Seeing Sima Ai's embarrassment, Bai Ling'er joked about Wang Ziwei, "I can't tell you where Aunt Sima's children come from now. When you grow up to Aunt Sima's age, a man will tell you where there are children." "Man? Which man?" Wang Ziwei asked her seriously. Seeing this girl Bai Ling'er and Wang Ziwei making such silly jokes, my face suddenly became ugly. Probably sensing my displeasure, Bai Ling'er quickly went back to make amends, "You're still young, now is not the time to ask about this." She was about to get up and leave, but Wang Ziwei suddenly seemed to realize something and said loudly to Bai Ling'er: "Do I know who I should ask?" "Who?" I asked her. "Ask Your Majesty." Wang Ziwei said to me with some pride, "Your Majesty is the only man in the palace." "Your Majesty told Aunt Sima where the child was, but did not tell her." Then, Wang Ziwei raised her finger and pointed at Bai Ling'er and said, "There is no child in your belly, and you don't know." As soon as Wang Ziwei finished speaking, Sima Ai, who had been extremely embarrassed just now, suddenly had a look of gloating on his face. She tried hard to restrain her urge to laugh, and pretended to glance at Bai Ling'er beside her casually. At this moment, Bai Ling'er's face couldn't be told whether she was embarrassed or sad. Anyway, she was trying her best to hide her unhappiness. Finally, she calmed down her mood, knelt down and said to Wang Ziwei with a smile: "You are right. Auntie doesn't know now, but I will definitely keep an eye on Your Majesty and ask until Your Majesty tells me where the child is." ... (Your Majesty said: Why do I deserve this? I have told you countless times!)
