Over the next two days, the situation in Beijing remained relatively stable.

The court's main job is just one thing.

That was in preparation for Su Pingbei's expedition as the commander.

The Qin Empire's national strength had declined. In recent years, under Emperor Da Xing's policy of appeasement, it rarely used force abroad. It wasn't that Emperor Da Xing was weak, but the country simply couldn't afford the upheaval.

But Li Chen's thinking was different. The poorer they were, the more they had to fight. Even if they tightened their belts, as long as they won a war, the wealth it brought would be several or even dozens of times that of peaceful development in the same amount of time.

Looking at history, almost all of the powerful and suddenly wealthy nations relied on plunder.

Though this battle was fought to aid the Xian Dynasty against the Japanese, it served as a crucial demonstration of the Great Qin Empire's power.

Therefore, within the court, regardless of their intentions, no one dared to act recklessly under Li Chen's watchful eye.

The imperial court was preparing for Su Ping's northern campaign, but Li Chen came to the royal hunting grounds outside the capital.

The vast royal hunting ground was incredibly large, encompassing lakes, forests, fields, and plains. It could be said to be the finest natural environment near the capital city.

As its name suggests, this place belongs to the royal family. In the past, emperors and princes would come here to hunt for leisure and relaxation when they were not busy with state affairs and practicing martial arts such as horseback riding and archery. However, in recent years, the country has been burdened with heavy affairs, Emperor Daxing's health has not been good, and there have been natural disasters year after year, so it has been slightly neglected. Nevertheless, the daily management is still as usual.

Like the Imperial Stables, other departments responsible for managing and caring for horses used by the royal family were also established here for convenience.

At the time, the manager of this enclosure was a retired official from the Zongren Mansion, holding the position of Zheng Wu Pin. Besides overseeing the daily maintenance of the enclosure, he had no real power, but technically speaking, he was Li Chen's uncle.

"We, your humble servants, pay our respects to His Royal Highness, the Prince."

Li Ke shou, leading some officials from the enclosure, bowed respectfully to Li Chen as he descended from his sedan chair.

This time, Li Xing not only came himself but also went to great lengths to invite Su Jinping out.

He raised his hand to Su Jinpa, who was carefully getting out of the palanquin, her skirt held up in her hands.

Seeing Li Chen's hand, Su Jinpa subconsciously wanted to refuse.

With so many people around, Su Jinpa couldn't possibly disregard Li Chen's face.

Glaring hatefully at the sly Li Chen, Su Jinpa handed her hand to him.

Supporting Su Jinping down, Li Chen then addressed Li Ke Shou: "Uncle, no need for formalities. Have you prepared everything I sent people to ask for"

Li Ke Shou replied busily, "Everything is ready."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Li Chen smiled brightly, taking Su Jin's hand and leading her deeper into the enclosure under Li Ke's guidance.

Up until this point, Su Jinpa still had no idea what Li Chen was mysteriously bringing her to see today.

"What on earth is going on Are they hunting here in the middle of winter" Su Jinping asked.

"The weather is so cold that all the wild animals have gone into hibernation for the winter. There's nothing to hunt." Li Chen replied.

Seeing Li Chen still playing coy, Su Jinpa let out a light snort, but didn't say anything more.

She felt that the more she pressed for an answer, the more this bad person seemed to enjoy keeping her in suspense. He just wouldn't let her have the satisfaction of knowing. Therefore, Su Jinpa had to grit her teeth and stifle her curiosity.

This line, stepping out, didn't go far before arriving at a field that had been plowed.

A group of people, under the direction of Liu Sicun in a hemp robe, are busily constructing something.
