Before dinner, Ying Zheng led the two princesses to meet Mrs. Xia, and when Mrs. Xia was happy, she cooked some snacks herself.

When eating, Mrs. Xia also looked at this and that, one was as tender as water, and the other was full of heroism with clear eyebrows, and she liked it very much.

Although she also lost a grandson and was still a grandchild, Mrs. Xia looked at it much less than Mrs. Huayang, because there were many fewer gains and losses.

Ying Zheng didn't hide anything, and told Mrs. Huayang's decision to Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia didn't have any comments, just listened, and sometimes nodded slightly, as if she was listening to a story.

After listening to Yingzheng tell the story, Xia Fu said slowly: "In this matter, although your grandmother's approach is a bit overbearing, it is not too reasonable, not to mention that the wood has been completed, so she has fulfilled her wish." ”

"Zheng'er didn't care, but he was afraid of provoking criticism." Ying Zheng had an innocent expression.

"Your wedding is close at hand, even if there is any criticism, it will not be more than a month at most, and besides, other people's daughters are not afraid of being criticized, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Xia said.

"What the few people are afraid of is that Nansu will be criticized." Ying Zheng said.

Princess Nansu looked at Ying Zheng with burning eyes, and said with a lot of emotion in her heart: "Before, the whole world criticized the king's life experience, and the king was not afraid, how could the concubines care about this criticism." ”

"That's it, my sister is not afraid, and Hu Yu is not afraid." Princess Hu Yu clenched her pink fists and said, "If anyone dares to criticize, I will shoot his mouth." ”

Mrs. Xia was amused by Princess Hu Yu's expression: "Girl's family, don't fight and kill, let's just take care of our man, if my grandmother was like you back then, I'm afraid she won't live today." ”

Princess Hu Yu bowed her head slightly and said in a low voice, "Hu Yu has remembered his grandmother's teachings. ”

Princess Hu Yu was born with a competitive personality, but from the moment she set off from Zhao Guo, she realized that she needed to change, but it still needed time.

Mrs. Xia looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, you have fulfilled the requirements of the Queen Mother, but can you fulfill Cheng Chan's last wish?" ”

Ying Zheng was asked a little suddenly, and asked back: "Grandmother is saying?" ”

"The king doesn't remember, Cheng Chan asked the king for a piece of white silk, and wrote heartfelt words on it to advise future generations not to commit rebellion." Mrs. Xia said.

"Of course the widow remembers that the white silk has been collected by the widow." Ying Zheng said.

"The king collects it, but how can he warn future generations?" Mrs. Xia asked.

"This ......," Ying Zheng paused and said, "the widow has ordered Zhao Gao to copy Cheng Xuan's masterpiece in a book and circulate it to the important ministers of the court." ”

"The purpose of the toad is to warn the present world, not the hereafter." Mrs. Xia said, "The king has no royal power now, although it is not called a crisis, but after all, he is controlled by others, and Cheng Chan also wants to use his death to warn those with ulterior motives, don't make mistakes, right?" ”

"But so." Ying Zheng replied.

"Then the king, who do you say are these people with ulterior motives?" Mrs. Xia asked again.

"There are no outsiders, so the widow speaks directly." Ying Zheng cleared his throat and said, "The widow is past the age of the crown ceremony, but he has not yet reached the crown ceremony, and he has neither royal power nor military power, so Lu Xiangbang should be the first person with ulterior motives." ”

Mrs. Xia didn't have any change in her expression, as if she had known that Ying Zheng would say this. The two princesses were startled and looked straight at Yingzheng.

Yingfu subconsciously looked out the window and said, "The old slave went outside to guard." ”

Mrs. Xia nodded.

Ying Fu went out, closed the door from the outside, and then made rounds around the house.

Ying Zheng continued: "In addition to Lu Xiangbang, his henchmen are also a trouble. ”

"Does the king think that these are the only people?" Mrs. Xia asked again.

"As for the royal clan, the widow thinks that it will not be as rebelling as Cheng Chan, after all, the truth of the widow's life experience has been revealed." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

Mrs. Xia shook her head slowly and said, "If the king thinks like this, I'm afraid it's one-sided. Not to mention it from afar, just say that when the king ascended the throne, how many pairs of eyes stared at the throne, and when your father ascended the throne, how many people were unwilling, otherwise, how could my grandmother live in the palace. ”

Ying Zheng was silent for a while, and said: "What grandmother said is reasonable, the prince and brother of the widow can be opposed under the instigation of others, not to mention other people, it seems that the princes and nobles should not be despised either." ”

"It's not just the princes and nobles." Mrs. Xia added, "As long as it is a fief and a knight, you have to beware." ”

"Grandmother means that the widow wants to use this incident of Cheng Chan to warn all the powerful people in the territory of Great Qin?" Ying Zheng asked.

"According to the old man, this is the true intention of Cheng Chan." Mrs. Xia said, "Only in this way can his death be more meaningful to the king and to Daqin." ”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Zheng'er understands, presumably the spirit of the toad in the sky, and I also hope to see the effect of killing a hundred people." ”

"You have to let Cheng Cheng help you again." Mrs. Xia said.

"Then the widow ordered people to copy more books and send them to every fief and every official." Ying Zheng said.

Mrs. Xia nodded and said, "In that case, the king might as well set the date for the wedding, and then hand over the invitation together, and do the two things together." ”

"Grandmother's idea is good." Ying Zheng said with a slight upturn in his mouth.

Princess Nansu and Princess Hu Yu listened to the conversation between their ancestors and grandchildren, and they didn't interject, but when they heard that they were going to set a big wedding date, they all set their eyes on Yingzheng.

"Still." Ying Zheng turned to say, "It's best to let the Queen Mother and Lu Xiangbang discuss this matter together, as for the Queen Mother's side, ......."

"Your mother can't help you with this." Mrs. Xia paused and said, "The old body thinks that when you get married, your queen mother may not be present. ”

"How so?" Yingzheng was really taken aback, "Why did grandmother say this, the widow's wedding is not a trivial matter, she is the widow's mother, the current queen mother." ”

Looking at Ying Zheng's rare excitement, Mrs. Xia smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Maybe the old body is too worried, but the old body suggested that the king should be mentally prepared for this." ”

Ying Zheng was silent, Mrs. Xia and the two princesses did not speak, and they seemed to be tacitly giving Ying Zheng a buffer time.

In fact, the reason is very simple, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji left the palace before Yingzheng chose a concubine, so at that moment, Zhao Ji must have known that Yingzheng's wedding day was not far away, and if she didn't even want to wait for this time, then when Yingzheng got married, it was really unknown whether Zhao Ji could come back.

Ying Zheng is actually aware of this, but he just doesn't want to think about it or believe it.

After relieving for a moment, Ying Zheng smiled and said: "The queen mother has been in poor health recently, and the road is far away, if you can't rush back on the day of the widow's wedding, the widow will not force it." However, the number of etiquette is indispensable, and the widow must use the highest specifications to welcome the queen mother back to the palace, as for whether to come back or not, it depends on the queen mother. ”

Mrs. Xia smiled with relief and said, "It would be great if the king could figure it out." ”

"Well, Zheng'er figured it out." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If the queen mother doesn't come back, the widow will take the princesses of various countries to visit the queen mother." ”

"That's fine." Mrs. Xia said, "However, the old man suggested that the king should invite your queen mother this time, and also bring a copy of Cheng Cheng's last words, so that everyone can be treated equally." ”

"Oh? Grandmother means that even the queen mother has to warn her? Ying Zheng asked puzzledly, if it was before, it was right to guard against Zhao Ji, but now Zhao Ji is no longer in the palace.

"Have you forgotten that there is a Changxin Marquis by your mother's side, and you personally canonized it." Mrs. Xia said in a low voice.

"The widow hasn't forgotten this matter, but with his mother here, how dare he make a mistake." Ying Zheng said.

"Zheng'er, maybe when you learn to guard against everyone, you will truly become a qualified monarch." Mrs. Xia said in a low voice, "People with ill intentions often use their relationship with you to relax your vigilance, so that they can take advantage of it. Including your mother, but also your old body. ”

After speaking, Mrs. Xia slowly closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something, and seemed to be giving Ying Zheng time to think.

If you want to say that in the whole world, the one who cares most about Yingzheng and has no interests is none other than Mrs. Xia. At the moment, Mrs. Xia is using her decades of accumulated experience and experience to help Yingzheng and remind Yingzheng.

In order to let Yingzheng really grow.

Ying Zheng's heart was no longer entangled in why his mother was so ruthless, but was moved by Mrs. Xia's words.

"What my grandmother said, although Hu Yu can't understand everything." Princess Hu Yu said, "But it seems to make sense. ”

Ying Zheng's brows relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Grandmother has a lot of truths, you have only seen a few." ”

"How can Wang Shang and his sister take turns bullying Hu Yu." Princess Hu Yu pursed her lips, and she didn't have the posture of a heroine at all.

Mrs. Xia opened her eyes and said with a smile: "It's not too early, the old body is ready to rest, you should go back early." ”

Ying Zheng was just about to get up to say hello, but he heard Mrs. Xia say: "Your Majesty, the two princesses are very fond of the old body, and the king has not yet got married after all, it is better for the king to choose one princess to serve the king, and the other will stay here to accompany the old body." ”

Ying Zheng knew that this was Mrs. Xia looking for the bottom of the stairs for herself, so as not to embarrass the three of them when they went back, especially for Princess Hu Yu.

However, Yingzheng couldn't speak, leaving one was the best policy, but no matter which one he brought back, the other would have some ideas.

"Hu Yu stayed with his grandmother, or Hu Yu went back, and he would be bored in the house." Princess Hu Yu also found a step for herself.

Although he said that he wanted to help Yingzheng "pay off his debts", at the critical moment, it was not like that.

"Why don't you two take turns with your grandmother." Ying Zheng smiled a little.

Princess Hu Yu blushed, turned her head sideways, and stopped looking at Yingzheng.

"Just let Hu Yu accompany the old body, you go back and rest early, and come here for breakfast tomorrow morning." Mrs. Xia came to the round again.

Ying Zheng and Princess Nansu saluted separately, greeted each other, and walked towards their bedroom.
