CHAPTER XIX

Sending away the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, King Zhao rarely stayed in Zhengyang Palace, and said to Liang Wan and Empress Dowager Zhao with some annoyance: "Winning politics is too much to bully people, there is no one in the eyes of the young age, and it should be ...... back then."

"Please be cautious." Liang Wan knew what he wanted to say, but if the overlord is already in the bag of the Qin State today, it is definitely not a good thing to offend the Qin State.

"Yes, Dan'er, even if you are not afraid of what King Qin will do now, it is not the time to offend." Empress Dowager Zhao is not old-hearted, and she understands everything she can see. It's just that Ying Zheng just mentioned Crane and Poxi, and she was actually very nervous. Although looking at King Qin's meaning seems to be just a casual question, I have always felt anxious recently, and even the pear moon in my chest has a burning pain from time to time. Isn't it...... She sighed secretly, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and they can only be arranged by God.

"Father, mother, I want to marry King Qin, even if I want to stay away from my parents and Zhao Kingdom, I will marry."

Xi Mo has no other intentions, her heart and mind are the position of the queen of the Qin Palace, and she thinks that she is qualified for that position. Looking at the world, who else can dominate the princes like the King of Qin? can be the most important woman around him, not to mention staying away from his parents, it doesn't matter if he cuts off contact.

"You think you can marry if you want, stupid."

King Zhao looked at his daughter impatiently, when she was a child, she was loved by everyone and spoiled her too much, causing her to develop a pampered and selfish personality, and the older she was, the more she couldn't hold her breath. In his opinion, even if his daughter can be a woman who can win politics, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch his heart. Looking at Yingzheng's attitude towards Ximo, it is simply ignorance. It seems that counting on this daughter to win over and stabilize King Qin is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, and it will be unreliable.

"I don't care, where am I not worthy of King Qin, even the daughter of the little Korean prince was directly accepted into the Qin Palace, I am one section higher than her in terms of status and status, why doesn't she need to be a fortune-teller to be King Qin's woman?"

"Presumptuous, what King Qin does or doesn't do is something you can talk about." Liang Wan looked at her daughter fiercely, and lamented in her heart: How can such a daughter be worthy of the King of Qin, who commands the world?

After listening to Xi Mo's words, King Zhao reminded him of an important point: at the beginning, he thought that King Qin personally ventured to Zhao, and King Qin seemed to attach more importance to the relationship with Zhao than to directly accept the marriage of Korea. But now it seems that King Qin has no intention of marrying at all. If so, who else can better represent the combination of Zhao and King Qin besides Xi Mo? Why did Ying Zheng blatantly refuse to accept the foam? What else did he do?

Seeing his daughter's childish performance, he pressed his eyebrows together, and suddenly remembered that Ying Zheng mentioned his sister's daughter Poxi for no reason. I vaguely felt that something was about to happen, but he couldn't find a breakthrough, what was the problem?

Because he was too annoyed, he comforted his daughter and left. Leaving Liang Wan's mother and daughter and Empress Dowager Zhao.

"Mother, what do you think of the current King of Qin?" Liang Wan asked Empress Dowager Zhao.

"Alas, what can I, an old man who is about to enter the earth, see? It's just that who would have thought that the proton that everyone looked down on back then would be the ambitious King Qin today? No matter how much people fight, it is in vain. ”

"Grandmother, queen mother, you help Ximo, Ximo is not the king of Qin and will not marry. Besides, if I successfully marry into the Qin State, it will be beneficial to our Zhao State, won't it? The immortal Ximo interrupted the conversation between her grandmother and her mother, hoping that they would focus on whether she could marry the king of Qin or not.

"Ximo, do you know that King Qin doesn't have any thoughts about you, if he doesn't marry, how can you marry?"

"Queen Mother, didn't King Qin say that he just couldn't bear to see me separated from my parents......"

"Do you think that if King Qin wants to marry you, he will not marry you because he can't bear to see you separated from your parents? Don't you understand that King Qin just doesn't like you and doesn't mention a word? Doesn't he know that you are the most suitable person for the identity to marry? Liang Wan hated that iron could not become steel, and asked her ignorant daughter three times in a row.

When Ximo heard that her mother was not standing with her, she was aggrieved and unconvinced. She felt that it was not the time to give up, she had to find a way to find an opportunity to ask King Qin in person. Otherwise, she would not be reconciled to anything.

Thinking about it like this, she didn't care that Empress Dowager Zhao was still there, she lost her temper and left angrily. Liang Wan sighed helplessly: "The mother's forgiveness is the daughter-in-law's improper upbringing, which disappointed the mother."

"Alas, whether it is sweet or bitter, heaven has its own destiny. You do your best, what's wrong? "Empress Dowager Zhao has been prosperous and wealthy all her life, and she has experienced all kinds of life in the court, and she has long learned not to fight or rob, and to go with the flow.

And while everyone couldn't see through the true intentions of Win Zheng, the only one who had a close relationship with him, Perxi, was looking at the sash and sheepskin portrait on the table. At first she didn't see any excitement on her face, just gently touched them with her hand.

Looking at the sheepskin portrait, the sentence "Wait for a decade, Xu Shengsheng will live forever"! Looking at it, tears welled up in my eyes...... It turned out that he had come last night, and she had missed seeing him because her mother was in her room with a little cough. But he gave an invitation that only she understood, and she smiled faintly as she picked up the belt.

Unlike the calm Poxi, Princess Ximo carried out her ignorance to the end, and the next day she couldn't wait to leave the palace without permission and went directly to the palace where Ying Zheng was located.

When Ying Zheng heard Zhao Gao's report that Princess Ximo asked to see him, he didn't react much, and continued to look at the book in his hand indifferently, without saying that he would see or say no.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Gao saw that Ying Zheng seemed to have completely forgotten that he was waiting for his order, and reminded in a low voice: "King, do you see or not see the princess outside here?" ”

"Hang."

“……”

"Zhao Gao, you just go and talk back to her, the king just happened to be concentrating on studying the books of the ancients, and he didn't read it thoroughly for a while, it takes time, and he doesn't know when he will be able to see the way, she can wait if she wants to, and she will go back and forth if she doesn't want to."

Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Chang, but the corners of his mouth smiled.

Liu Chang actually didn't like that princess Ximo, when he saw it twice, he felt that it was useless, so he couldn't hold his breath, not to mention that the king didn't look down on her, and even he hated it.

Meng Yi felt that it was inappropriate: "King, this is Zhao State after all, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Princess Ximo is the princess after all, if the king doesn't want to see it, send her back, and leave her to dry will always make people feel that the king is like her." ”

"Meng Yi, you don't understand, our king doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, it's the wrong object, if it was the little fairy at the door, he would definitely go to greet him in person."

The book in Ying Zheng's hand slapped heavily on the desk, and when he heard the voice, Liu Chang reacted that he was quick and said something he shouldn't have said. He slumped his facial features and secretly looked at Ying Zheng, and found that Ying Zheng was glaring at him. was so scared that his liver and gallbladder ached, and he loved and hated winning politics in his life. It's easy to say when you love, but it's like this when you hate, the kind of cold and cold that he stares at you without saying a word is too cold.

"You go out and hang with her."

Knowing that Ying Zheng was really a little angry, fortunately, the people on the side didn't understand who the little fairy he said was, and they all thought that what he said was really a fairy in the sky.

Liu Chang didn't dare to make any more inches, and obeyed the rules and orders to meet the source that made him disliked.

Poor Princess Ximo usually has to be windy and rainy. Not to mention seeing King Qin, he couldn't even enter the gate of the palace, so he could only wait. The fire in my heart is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't dare to vent it casually.

looked at the gate of the palace with anticipation, and finally saw someone come out, and my heart was full of joy. Liu Chang also saw her, the corners of his mouth twitched, and when he came down from the steps, he had already changed his normal expression: "Let the princess wait for a long time, King Qin can't help it, and specially asked me to inform the princess, saying that it is not available for the time being, let the princess either go back first, or wait for ......"

"I'll wait, I have time, when King Qin is free, let me know again."

"In this case, it is convenient for the princess, but King Qin also said that he is not sure if he can have free time today, I am afraid that the princess will wait for a long time or ......"

"No matter how busy King Qin is, he has to eat, can the general report to King Qin, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient at other times, it's lunch time soon, can Ximo eat with King Qin, so that King Qin's time won't be wasted."

"The princess is really talented and intelligent, she can come up with such a stylish method, King Zhao raised the princess really well."

"Please also ask the general to report the wish of King Ximo of Qin."

"The princess is so active, how can I not tell our king"

"General Xie is complete."

"Then go back first, and the princess will wait for good news."

Liu Chang didn't wait for her to say anything, he turned around, and looked disgusted like: how could there be such a person who doesn't know how to observe words and feelings, and still wants to have a meal with the king, but he didn't take his brain out.

What Liu Chang never expected was that when Ying Zheng heard him convey Princess Ximo's request, he didn't raise his eyelids: "Since the princess wants to have lunch here, how can you not entertain her, you go to accompany the princess to the side hall for dinner, don't be lazy." ”

"My lord, I'm not hungry."

"The princess will be hungry, you can take pity on me."

"......" Liu Chang wanted to cry without tears, he really didn't expect that Yingzheng could hold a grudge with such a bottom line.

Fortunately, when Princess Ximo heard that he would accompany her to dine instead of Ying Zheng, when King Qin was inconvenient to entertain, she flicked her sleeves and got into the chariot and left. When the chariot was far away, Liu Chang let out a long breath, almost thinking that he couldn't get out of the pit.

Princess Ximo's visit to King Qin and the fact that she couldn't see it soon became known to the entire Jinyang. King Zhao angrily scolded his daughter, and even Queen Liang Wan was implicated and reprimanded. It's nothing more than that the goddaughter has no way, which makes the Zhao royal family embarrassed.

And Ying Zheng is like nothing to do with himself, either staying in the palace every day or inviting King Zhao to go hunting. King Zhao naturally could only accompany him, and from time to time he deliberately mentioned the marriage, and Ying Zheng only said that he would be able to choose the right one, and he had already asked people to start selecting from the list and birthday provided by Zhao Guo, so that King Zhao could wait patiently for a few more days.

When King Zhao heard this, he believed it, because King Qin did personally ask him to get the list of daughters to be married by various princes and nobles. He naturally hoped that Ximo would be selected, so it would be more valuable than a weightless person casually marrying into the Qin Palace.

The people saw that the two kings of Qin and Zhao got along well, hunted and drank every day, talked happily with each other, and were in harmony. are all preaching: there will be no war for the time being, and the people can live a quiet life.

King Zhao also knew that there would be no big problems for a while, but in the long run, he knew that the situation was not optimistic. The dominance of the Qin State is no longer unstoppable, but the other vassal states are probably as jealous of the Qin State as he is. Therefore, if he fails to win over the Qin State, he must find a way to ally with other vassal states in order to have a chance to form a force against the Qin State.

Recently, King Zhao also noticed that although the important ministers around Ying Zheng would not blatantly contact the ministers of Zhao State, as long as there was an opportunity, the people under King Qin would intentionally or unintentionally make friends with some important ministers of Zhao State. Among them, Prime Minister Guo Kai talked a lot with Meng Yi of Qin, but he did not find that they had a private meeting. It is understandable that a prime minister of a country has a conversation with the ministers of another country on an official occasion, and it cannot prove anything.

King Zhao patiently waited for Ying Zheng's reply, and secretly planned the way back, and time passed day by day.
