Chapter 31: Marrying a Daughter
"Madam, the king pleases."
This is the first time that Ying Zheng has summoned me since I fell into the lake, although he has come to see me once before, but when I was bedridden to recuperate (I admit that I deliberately pretended to sleep), he looked twice and left, never entering Qixi Palace again.
I think he must have thought that his daughter had suffered enough and couldn't bear to spend it with me anymore, so he thought of excuses and excuses to help his daughter get out of prison.
Huayang is innocent, she is the grand princess of Qin has been imprisoned for a few days, and she must have suffered a lot of unbearable suffering on weekdays, think about it from another perspective, if it were me, I would also be very painful, so it is also my thought that she can come out.
The side hall of Qiongyang Palace, the door of the palace is open, and Yingzheng in the hall sits in front of the bookcase and writes something. Zhao Gao made a gesture to me who stopped outside the temple gate to invite me in, I took a deep breath and walked towards Yingzheng.
Zhao Gao closed the door of the hall tightly outside.
Yingzheng didn't raise his head, and I didn't want to quarrel with him, so he silently bowed up, and then stood quietly in the center of the hall.
Ying Zheng's eyelids seemed to pick a little, and then the movement of his hand accelerated, and he wrote hard, raised the pen, and exhaled heavily.
I knew that Ying Zheng was going to start talking about us, so I stood more upright and listened.
"It was Ejing who asked the widow to find you."
Ejing is the name of Mrs. Jing, the surname is Lu Ming, the word is quiet, so when she was canonized by Yingzheng, she directly took the word "Jing", it is said that this name was given by Lu Buwei, the father of Qin Guozhong, which means the beautiful artistic conception of "being good with the king".
Ying Zheng was still looking at the silk silk he wrote, and when he spoke to me, he seemed to be talking to himself, and said: "Huayang lost his mother since he was a child, and was fostered in the Ejing Palace. When this kind of thing happened, E Jing was ashamed of you, and she blamed herself, she said that you are straightforward, and ask the widow to talk to you, so as not to have any suspicion between you. ”
Moving out of Yingzheng to be a lobbyist in the middle, how ashamed is Mrs. Jing? The eight sons and daughters in the palace of King Qin dare not have a direct conversation with my little young envoy's wife, am I strong?
Be fine!
A wave of disdain welled up in my heart, my nose was stuffy, and a snort overflowed over my closed mouth.
In the side hall, Ying Zheng and I were two people, he didn't make a sound, I didn't speak, this nasal voice was extraordinarily clear, and the words he just said coincidentally contributed to the fact that I sneered at Ying Zheng and Lu Ejing's behavior.
Ying Zheng raised his head at this time, and his angry gaze came, forcing me to not raise my head.
After a long time, Ying Zheng opened his mouth again, and although his voice was not as cold as I predicted, it was much colder than his previous self-talk.
"As a mother, although Huayang's bad deeds are hard to blame, she loves her son very much, and she is afraid that the punishment will hurt Huayang, and she feels that the punishment is light, and she doesn't want you to feel wronged in the Qin State, so she can only make a decision after thinking about it, so she can only make a decision to eliminate your misunderstanding of her Jingshu Palace."
Ying Zheng continued to stare at me, and the pressure from his eyes made me feel at a loss, and I could only listen to him in a restrained manner.
"Not long ago, Li Xin led 200,000 Qin soldiers to retreat from the Chu front, and the Chu general Xiang Yan was treacherous and ghostly, with an unknown temperament, and the widow intended to use the veteran Wang Jian to fight against him. Wang Jian is one of my great Qin generals, but he is over the age of age, Ejing in order to eliminate your hatred, relieve the siege of Huayang, and beg the widow to marry Huayang to him, and follow him on an expedition to Chu. What do you think? ”
It is not an exaggeration to describe Ying Zheng's aura when he said this, I think his complicated mood at the moment must be contained in it, but I bowed my head intently against his aura, and I didn't have the energy to savor his words.
One thing is for sure, he is angry with me about Lu Ejing's helpless marriage to Huayang's miserable marriage.
Wang Jian I know, it is said that he is a half-old man in his forties, Huayang is in his prime, and he has not passed the double ten, and the delicate princess of the invincible and powerful country is ordered to return from illness in the wind and rain, and Huayang is indeed wronged when he marries him.
It's just that what does it have to do with me if Qin Guo wants to marry a daughter and destroy Chu, not to mention that this is obviously Mrs. Jing's plan to send Huayang far away for the defeat of the matter, in a sense, I am the one who suffers, right?
"The king said that he didn't like women to talk about politics, Wang Jian was a general of the Qin State, if marrying is a policy to consolidate the country, it is inconvenient for the slave concubine to say more." If I say that I don't want Huayang to marry, then wouldn't I have to do a lot of things to blame for the crime of influencing the battle situation in Qin and Chu, or it would be better to have less things.
"The widow once said that he didn't like women to be too shrewd, and Mrs. had ever forgotten?"
I was speechless when Ying Zheng asked, and we returned to the scene where he sat on the high platform and looked at me, and I looked down at my shoes.
"Since Madame doesn't object, the widow will let Huayang go first. Wang Jian is sick at this time, and it is not far from Pinyang Fangzheng, it is a good time to add color, and the widow wants Huayang to prepare makeup immediately. Ying Zheng shouted to Zhao Gao outside, "Welcome Huayang back to the palace", and continued to look at me.
"Your Majesty," my throat is dry and my lips are dry. It is not appropriate to persuade Ying Zheng to give up this idea and make me completely involved in the battle network of the palace; Support Yingzheng's decision, I can't get used to seeing a young woman being arranged for a lifetime like this, so I was entangled, swallowed my saliva and didn't speak again.
"Madame, still don't you feel relieved?"
Ying Zheng thinks of me like this, what else do I have to be kind enough to think about him?
"It is said that General Wang Jian is brave and good at fighting, but his injuries and illnesses are accumulating, and when the Chu State is proud, how can the king let him willingly re-enter the mountain by marrying the princess?" Since I can't be a kind fairy who is otherworldly and doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and everyone regards me as a vicious Qi country, then I'll satisfy my curiosity a little more.
"The women in the widow's palace are not all like Mrs. you, such as Ejing, she is capable and tight, and she cares about the safety of the widow and the Qin State, and has no distractions."
Ying Zheng is blaming me for being disloyal to the State of Qin?
Originally, for Yingzheng, Lu Ejing and I are not the same, and we are more than 108,000 miles away.
"The king said that Mrs. Jing is all for the slave concubine, this head slave concubine can't afford it, the Qin State is the benefit of the hegemony of the Qin State is the army and the people of the Qin State, and the fruits of victory cannot fall on the slave concubine alone."
When I didn't know that Mrs. Jing was unhappy because Huayang provoked me, so in order to expel her from her own burden and please Yingzheng, did she ask Huayang to marry the old man Wang Qian?
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, perverse and cold wisdom." Ying Zheng was displeased to judge me, and said: "The matter you are worried about has also been expected, so she is indebted and declares to the outside world that marrying Wang Jian under Huayang is the country's pro-policy and has nothing to do with you." ”
It's Mrs. Jing again, she is really thoughtful and does things well.
If it is claimed to the outside world that Ying Zheng married a daughter for me, then the outside world must think that I have successfully confused Ying Zheng, and the reputation of Qin State's royal government will be unstable; On the other hand, when others use this matter as a topic for after-dinner conversations, if I refute that it was Mrs. Jing's idea, it will cause Huayang to question her, and it will also arouse outsiders' ** views on her adoptive mother, so she hides it.
According to Mrs. Jing's strategy, Huayang will marry far away after being released from prison, it is difficult not to let the outside world associate with me, she can also achieve the goal of separating me from Yingzheng's father and daughter, monarch and minister.
