As soon as she saw her father, Ying Yinman couldn’t help but grumble, her voice full of anger:
“Father, what’s wrong with you?”

She blinked her lively eyes, looking helpless?
“You’re already such a grown-up, how could you still get lost?”

After Ying Yinman finished speaking, she sighed softly. Her little adult-like appearance made people laugh.

The three of them were having a great time, but who could have thought that their father would disappear inexplicably.

It would have been fine if they just got lost, but we couldn’t even find them. In the end, we had to trouble others to bring them to our father.

When Qin Shihuang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he was speechless for a moment.

He was complaining in his heart: Please!

How could I get lost?

It was clearly you three little guys who disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Black Ice Guard led the three little guys to Qin Shi Huang and then quietly retreated.

Before they had walked far, they heard Her Royal Highness the Princess complaining to His Majesty. They staggered and almost fell, thinking in their hearts: Her Royal Highness the Princess is so brave.

Qin Shi Huang rolled his eyes helplessly at the three little guys, his tone somewhat amusing:

“It’s not me who got lost, it’s obviously you three little guys who ran away!”

He paused and explained patiently:
“I just took a second look at the performance over there, and you guys disappeared in an instant.”

The three little guys looked at each other, and then they said in unison, in a childish but extremely firm voice:

“It’s obviously you who got lost!”

Little Sizi pouted her pink little mouth and said seriously:

“Uncle Zhao, even though we are still children, please don’t try to fool us.”

“We just stood there without moving at all. How could we be lost?”

Ying Yinman quickly agreed:
“That’s it!”

“We stayed there the whole time and didn’t go anywhere!”

Zhu Wanqing stuffed the food into her mouth while speaking incoherently:

“Lunjia has been eating and has not been walking around!”

Qin Shi Huang opened his mouth and wanted to argue, but when he met the innocent yet stubborn gazes of the three little guys, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Forget it, forget it. Let’s not bother with these three little guys. If you continue arguing, you’re sure to make them cry.

Crying babies are the most troublesome. They are noisy and hard to be comforted.

“Okay, I was wrong, I apologize, okay?”

Qin Shi Huang looked helpless and raised his hands in surrender.

When the three little guys heard this, they immediately smiled and said in unison:
“We forgive you!”

The corner of Qin Shihuang’s mouth twitched. He raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his left wrist.

Seeing that it was almost noon, it was time to take these three little guys back to the palace.

“Okay, let’s go back.”

he said gently.

“I’ll take you shopping tomorrow, okay?”

When the three little guys heard this, their faces were immediately filled with disappointment and reluctance.

Ying Yinman raised her head, looked at her father eagerly, and said in a coquettish voice:
“Father, please play for a while longer, just a little while.”

“We still have a lot of places to go and a lot of things to buy!”

Little Sizi was not to be outdone, pouting and begging in a baby voice:

“Uncle Zhao, please take us to some other places to play!”

“Sizi, I heard that the accessories sold on the other street are very beautiful!”

Zhu Wanqing said vaguely while chewing something:

“Hmm… that place… tastes good… I want to… buy some…”

Qin Shi Huang was so cruel that he rejected them mercilessly:
“It’s almost noon. Let’s come back tomorrow.”

“Are you in no hurry to return to the Immortal?”

“If you’re in a hurry, we’ll take you to another street after lunch.”

When the three little guys heard this, they shook their heads like rattles.

“Not in a hurry!”

“Not in a hurry!”

“Uncle Zhao, let’s go back to the palace!”

Xiao Sizi said quickly.

“Uh-huh!”

“Father, we are not in a hurry. We can come and shop tomorrow!”

Ying Yinman also said the same thing.

“Come tomorrow!”

Zhu Wanqing swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty and spoke loudly.

After hearing this, Qin Shihuang couldn’t help feeling a little confused. He always felt that these three little guys seemed to be hiding something from him.

He looked at the three little guys again with a probing look.

The three little ones, Xiao Sizi, Ying Yinman and Zhu Wanqing, blinked their big watery eyes and looked at him without blinking, looking well-behaved and cute.

Qin Shihuang looked at their innocent appearance, and the doubts in his heart disappeared instantly.

What could these three little guys be hiding from me? Even if they were, it must not be a serious matter.

“Okay, let’s go back to the palace.”

Qin Shi Huang said with a smile.

“it is good!”

The three little guys responded happily.

……

Store of All Worlds.

After Liu Bang and Lu Zhi finished their shopping, they left in a hurry. They looked so flustered, as if they were afraid that others would find out that they had bought things here.

On the sofa, Ye Jiangnan gently hugged Yu Shu, and the two watched TV together.

Suddenly, Yu Shu spoke softly, breaking the silence:
“Sir, do you think Chenxiang can save his mother?”

Ye Jiangnan was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and asked in confusion:
“Why are you asking about this suddenly?”

“You think he can’t save his mother?”

Yu Shu nodded gently, looking serious:
“Ah.”

“I talked to Chenxiang while you were away.”

“I’ve thought about it carefully. If Chenxiang wants to rescue his mother, he can’t rely on force alone.”

“Even if he really rescued his mother from Huashan, isn’t his mother still a prisoner in Heaven?”

“That is to say, even if Chenxiang saved someone, his mother would become a fugitive.”

“I think that only by removing the hat of a prisoner in heaven can we truly rescue him.”

“Sir, do you think I’m right?”

The corners of Ye Jiangnan’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile of approval, and he nodded gently.

Then, he turned around to look at Chenxiang who was sitting next to Moyu, and after retracting his gaze, he slowly said:
“You’re right.”

“Even if Chenxiang rescues his mother, she is still a sinner who has violated the laws of heaven.”

“Unless the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother modify the Heavenly Law and pardon his mother, he cannot be truly saved.”

“It’s just… modifying the Heavenly Law is much more difficult than rescuing his mother.”

The reason he said this was because in order to rescue his mother, he only needed to practice hard and have enough strength to split Mount Hua.

However, any modification to the Heavenly Rules requires the consent of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.

In order to make them give in, one must have a cultivation level far superior to the two of them, defeat them, and force them to agree.

But how easy is it to surpass their cultivation?
Moreover, even if he really did it, he would still have to face the mighty heavenly soldiers and generals.

Take Sun Wukong for example, he once wanted to be the Jade Emperor himself and fought his way to the Heaven.

But the result?

They only reached the Lingxiao Palace and could no longer advance any further.

Moreover, he started the fight from the Tushita Palace of Taishang Laojun, instead of flying directly to the Heavenly Palace from the Flower-Fruit Mountain to challenge.

Yu Shu frowned and said worriedly:
“If that’s the case, won’t Chenxiang’s mother be a sinner for the rest of her life?”

Ye Jiangnan smiled, his expression gentle:
“What about the body of a sinner?”

“If he really rescued his mother, and found a remote place for the family to live in peace, who would know that his mother had violated the laws of heaven and was a prisoner in heaven?”

After listening to this, Yu Shu was thoughtful and pondered over Ye Jiangnan’s words carefully. She felt that there was some truth in them.

Seeing that Yu Shu stopped talking, Ye Jiangnan continued:

“I don’t know what Chenxiang is thinking.”

“But I know what the Third Holy Mother is thinking.”

“Even if Chenxiang really split Huashan Mountain and rescued her, she would not go with Chenxiang.”

“She doesn’t want to bear the crime of being a prisoner in the Heavenly Court forever, and she doesn’t want Chenxiang to violate the Heavenly Court rules again because of her.”

“She only hopes that Chenxiang can live a peaceful life and not offend too many people because of her affairs.”

This is what the Third Holy Mother thought, but it is not known whether Chenxiang thought the same way.

……

Great Qin.

Inside the palace.

After lunch, Qin Shihuang ordered the palace servants to take the three little ones to take a nap.

When the three little girls disappeared from his sight, Qin Shihuang slowly exhaled, and he seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden.

Fusu looked at his father’s slightly tired look, and doubts arose in his heart. He couldn’t help but ask:
“Father, you seem to be quite tired?”

Qin Shi Huang heard this and glanced at him, with a look of helplessness and emotion in his eyes:
“What do you think?”

“This is much more tiring than reviewing memorials.”

Fusu looked at Qin Shi Huang with suspicion, thinking to himself: It’s just taking care of a few children, how tiring can it be?
There is no need to work, just play and chat. How can such an easy thing make people so tired?

Qin Shi Huang keenly caught the undisguised doubt on Fusu’s face, and with a slight curl of his lips, he said:

“Fusu, I have a few questions for you.”

When Fusu heard that his father wanted to test him, he immediately became alert, straightened up, and said respectfully:

“Father, please speak.”

Qin Shi Huang raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were deep, and he asked slowly:

“Where does the north wind come from, and where does it go?”

When Fusu heard this question, he was stunned at first. He thought quickly in his mind, but he had no clue for a moment and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Qin Shi Huang did not stop and continued to ask a series of questions:

“The stars in the sky are blinking in the cold, why don’t you wear cotton clothes?” “How dark can the night be?”

“Where does the sun in the dream come from?”

“How vast is the world?”

“What exists beyond the sky?”

“did you know?”

After hearing this series of bizarre questions, Fusu was stunned for a moment, looking at a loss.

He couldn’t help but mutter to himself: What kind of questions are these?
All the questions my father asked seemed to be related to physics.

Although I have read some physics books from the immortal and have some basic knowledge of physics, these questions… are really confusing.

Why did my father suddenly ask such a strange question?

Are you trying to use this opportunity to compare your recent learning outcomes?
Fusu opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Qin Shihuang spoke first:
“You can’t answer that, can you?”

“These questions were all asked to me by your sister and the other three little ones.”

“I have thought about it, but I can’t give an answer.”

“Now, you should understand how tired I am…”

After hearing his father’s explanation, Fusu breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart instantly dissipated.

Originally, he was full of worries, thinking that his father wanted to use this opportunity to test his recent learning achievements. Those strange questions left him confused for a moment, but he did not expect that they were raised by his sisters.

“Father, you can’t answer this, but your sisters didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?”

Fusu asked cautiously with a hint of concern.

In his opinion, his sisters were still young and innocent after all, so even if their father could not answer, he would not do anything extreme.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at him, snorted, and said:

“It didn’t embarrass me.”

“She just told me to tell them the answer when she wakes up from her nap.”

Fusu was speechless for a moment, with a helpless look on his face, and then he said:
“Then please take a rest first, Father. I will take my leave now.”

After saying this, Fusu turned around hurriedly and walked quickly, obviously fearing that his father would assign him another task.

But as soon as he turned around, Qin Shihuang’s big hand pressed firmly on his shoulder.

Fusu froze for a moment, the smile on his face froze instantly, he turned around slowly with a bitter face, forced out a smile and asked:
“Father, do you have any other instructions?”

Qin Shi Huang looked at Fusu’s unwilling expression, pretended not to notice, and said leisurely:
“I’ve been tired all morning and feel very exhausted.”

“Go and help me find the answers to these questions later.”

Fusu met his father’s unquestionable gaze. Although he was reluctant, he could only nod helplessly.

He secretly regretted it in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked that question.

When Qin Shi Huang saw Fusu agreed, he showed a satisfied smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder gently, and said earnestly:

“I am very pleased that you can share my worries.”

“Then I’m going to rest. You should hurry up and find the answer.”

After saying this, Qin Shihuang turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back to Fusu and said:

“Your little sister only takes a half-hour nap, you have to hurry up!”

Fusu forced a smile that was uglier than crying and nodded stiffly.

Qin Shihuang left satisfied.

In fact, the three little guys gave Qin Shihuang two hours, but he deliberately said it was one hour because he was afraid that Fusu would procrastinate. What if Fusu found the answer in two hours? How would he have time to remember the answer?

Fusu walked out of the room feeling depressed. As soon as he walked out, he ran into Meng Yi and Hu Hai.

Fusu, who had a gloomy face, suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes when he saw them.

“Your Highness, what did His Majesty say to you?”

Meng Yi asked with curiosity on his face.

“Brother Crown Prince, is Father going to send you to lead the troops to fight?”

Hu Hai also hurried over and asked anxiously.

“Can you take me with you? I want to go too!”

The reason why Hu Hai was so eager to go with the army was because he was determined to achieve great things and atone for his sins.

Trapped in the palace all day, with no other opportunities except boring studies, he was really unwilling to live in mediocrity.

Only on the battlefield did he feel he had a chance to clear his “sins” and change the impression he had in his father’s mind.

“Uh……”

Meng Yi glanced at Hu Hai and explained patiently.

“Your Highness, now all the countries surrounding Daqin have been incorporated into Daqin’s territory.”

“If we want to fight, we have to go further away.”

“It would probably take one or two months just to drive there.”

Hu Hai was slightly startled, and after a brief hesitation, he said firmly:

“One or two months is just one or two months. As long as I can fight, I am willing to do it!”

In order to realize his ambitions, Hu Hai has made up his mind and is unwilling to miss any opportunity.

Fusu looked at the two of them, a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly:
“You all misunderstood.”

“Father is not sending me to fight, but Yang Zi and the other two asked him a few questions, and he couldn’t answer them, so he told me to let you find the answers to these questions within half an hour.”

Meng Yi and Hu Hai were both stunned, with doubts written all over their faces, and asked in unison:
“what is the problem?”

Fusu cleared his throat and said slowly:

“Where does the north wind come from, and where does it go?”

“The stars are blinking in the cold, why don’t they wear cotton clothes?”

“How dark is the night?”

“Where does the sun in the dream come from?”

“How big is the world?”

“What’s outside the sky?”

After hearing this, Meng Yi frowned and said thoughtfully:
“Your Highness, these questions all seem to be related to physics knowledge.”

Hu Hai’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly:
“Physics! I know the answer!”

When Fusu and Meng Yi heard this, a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in their eyes, and they looked at Hu Hai eagerly.

Hu Hai fumbled in his sleeves and pulled out a world map, saying proudly:
“Brother Crown Prince, Uncle Meng, the world is just so big!”

Fusu and Meng Yi looked at Hu Hai, speechless for a moment.

I have to say that Hu Hai’s answer was not wrong from a certain perspective.

“This problem has been solved, but what about the other problems?”

Fusu asked helplessly.

Hu Hai’s smile froze on his face and he scratched his head awkwardly:
“I do not know about this.”

Fusu imitated his father’s behavior just now, patted Hu Hai on the shoulder, and said seriously:

“I’ll leave this matter to the two of you. You must find the answer within half an hour.”

After saying this, Fusu turned around and ran away, his steps hurried, fearing that the two would go back on their word.

Hu Hai and Meng Yi looked at Fusu’s receding back and looked at each other. They felt like they had been “tricked” but could do nothing about it.

In Ying Yinman’s bedroom.

The three little guys lay side by side on the bed, their clear, bright eyes wide open, full of curiosity and agility.

“Big Sister, Second Sister, Uncle Zhao is not really angry, right?”

Zhu Wanqing frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and asked softly, her tone full of uncertainty.

“Angry? Angry about what?”

Ying Yinman blinked her big watery eyes and asked back with a puzzled look on her face, obviously not understanding what Zhu Wanqing meant.

“That’s it!”

“We asked Uncle Zhao all those weird questions!”

Zhu Wanqing was a little anxious, her little face flushed with anxiety, and her speech speed unconsciously quickened.

“If Uncle Zhao finds out that we are actually asking about the lyrics of the song and knows that we are teasing him on purpose, will he get angry and chase us away?”

As soon as Zhu Wanqing’s words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

That’s right, the questions that these three little ones had previously thrown to Qin Shihuang and gave him a headache were actually the lyrics of a song they had learned to sing.

They originally just thought it was fun and wanted to tease Qin Shi Huang, but now that they had calmed down, Zhu Wanqing began to worry about the consequences.

If they are driven away by Qin Shihuang, send them back to their master, they will be spanked when they return!
Little Sizi was very calm, without any sign of panic on his face.

She looked calm and comforted him in a relaxed tone:

“Hey, don’t be so nervous!”

There was a sly glint in his eyes as he continued.

“If Uncle Zhao really wants to beat us up, we can just run to my grandfather. He will definitely protect us!”

Ying Yinman listened, nodded vigorously, and echoed:

“That’s it!”

“At worst, we can just go hide at Senior Sister’s place.”

“Besides, with my father’s intelligence, he definitely can’t tell that those questions are actually lyrics!”

“So, don’t be nervous!”

There was still a trace of worry on Zhu Wanqing’s face, but when she saw that her two senior sisters looked nonchalant and calm, her worry gradually dissipated.

She thought to herself: My two senior sisters are not worried, so why should I be afraid?
Even if they really have to be spanked, the senior sisters will definitely be spanked first.

I am still young, so I should act more like a spoiled child to Uncle Zhao. He loves me so much, he will definitely not be willing to do anything to me!
“Okay, okay, stop thinking too much and go to bed!”

Xiao Sizi said excitedly, with a smug smile on his face.

“When I ran away, I secretly took a lot of firecrackers with me!”

“When we wake up, we’ll go set off firecrackers!”

When Ying Yinman and Zhu Wanqing heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they nodded excitedly.

On the other side, Meng Yi was frowning and writing down those strange questions carefully on paper with a helpless look on his face.

Looking at the questions listed on the paper, he felt his head buzzing and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Hu Hai was frantically flipping through the physics book he borrowed from Ye Jiangnan Bookstore.

I borrowed these books some time ago, but because I haven’t studied them thoroughly, I haven’t had time to return them.

“Master Hu Hai, have you found the answer?”

Meng Yi asked expectantly, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Hu Hai shook his head in frustration, his face full of depression:
“did not find.”

“These questions are so weird. There is no relevant content in the book at all!”

Meng Yi sighed helplessly and complained in his heart: Your Highness the Princess is really something, why did she suddenly ask such a tricky and weird question?
Can’t you just ask some simple and easy to understand questions?
For example, basic math problems like “one plus one equals how many” or classic math problems like “chickens and rabbits in the same cage” are much easier to solve than they are now. (End of this chapter)
