Chapter 82: A Reply Against Your Will
The maids had already lit the stove and baked the room very warmly, making the already joyful king's bed even more warm.
After entering the door, Ying Zheng retired the maid and pulled Princess Nansu to sit down.
"What Grandmother Fang Cai said, it's best not to mention it to outsiders, including Grandmother Wang." Ying Zheng said in a low voice.
Princess Nansu nodded and said: "Nansu is not a person who tells right and wrong, she must know how to distinguish between right and wrong, not to mention that grandmother can say this to the king alone, the reason why she said it in front of Hu Yu and her concubines is naturally not to treat us as outsiders." β
"Tomorrow, the widow will tell Hu Yu again." Speaking of Hu Yu, Ying Zheng seemed to realize something, and instead said, "However, are we a little too much about Hu Yu." β
Princess Nansu said with some guilt: "At first, the concubine wanted to see her, but she just wanted to explain to her about the king and the concubine, but she didn't expect that the king would bring her into the palace. β
"You have also seen that there is more than one thing that the widow wants to say to her, not to mention that if you bring her into the palace, you can also try to preserve your honor. If anyone knows about this now, they will only think that the widow asked you to enter the palace. Ying Zheng said calmly.
Ying Zheng still hasn't said half a sentence, that is: this is also done to balance Mrs. Huayang and the snobbery of the Chu family.
Princess Nansu sighed and got into Yingzheng's arms, like a coquettish kitten.
No matter which country the princess is, although she was born with a noble status, she is almost destined to her own fate, nine times out of ten due to political marriages must marry to other countries, and most of the monarchs are very old, and they may be bullied by other concubines after entering the palace.
But none of this exists here in Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng is just over twenty years old, in her prime, handsome and mighty, and she is Ying Zheng's first woman, whether she can be made a queen for the time being, at least she will not be bullied, if she works hard, she will give birth to Ying Zheng's first child.
Everything is developing in the best direction for Princess Nansu, and Ying Zheng takes such care of her, how can she not be moved.
However, deep down in her heart, she still subconsciously regarded Princess Hu Yu as an opponent, but she didn't even notice it.
The two indulged for a while before parting. Princess Nansu said slowly: "The concubine serves the king with the king's grandmother presiding, but Hu Yu's sister has no one to help, she can say such things, it is also rare, the king will leave her with her grandmother, aren't you afraid that she will be sad?" β
"The widow thinks it would be most appropriate to leave her with her grandmother for the time being." Ying Zheng paused and said, "It doesn't matter if you stay there, but if the widow brings her back, it will be extremely embarrassing, and it won't make people mistakenly think that the widow is a womanizer." β
Princess Nansu covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Since ancient times, the emperors of various countries, which king is not lustful, otherwise it will not be cut off the incense." β
Ying Zheng's eyes widened and explained: "It seems that the incense is strong and the lustful is not the same thing, right?" β
Princess Nansu not only covered her mouth, but also covered her stomach and laughed.
"Laugh if you want." Ying Zheng also smiled, and then took off the hand that Princess Nansu had covered with her mouth and put it on Nansu's stomach.
Princess Nansu laughed again at Yingzheng's actions.
Ying Zheng seemed to think of something, let go of Princess Nansu's hand, and said, "I almost forgot something, the widow still has to reply to King Zhao." β
Princess Nansu knew that the matter was important, so she stopped laughing, and then said: "The concubine is the king's inkstone." β
Ying Zheng grabbed Princess Nansu and said, "There is Zhao Gao in this matter, the widow should go to the study, you can rest for the time being, and the widow will go back." β
Princess Nansu nodded lightly and sent Ying Zheng out of the bedroom.
Zhao Gao prepared the pen and ink and brocade silk, put it on the desk, and asked Ying Zheng if he needed to ghostwrite.
Ying Zheng shook his head, and then wrote to King Zhao in person.
Since King Zhao's letter is a handwritten letter, and the letter is also referred to as Weng's son-in-law, if the reply is ghostwritten, it will be rude.
Ying Zheng thought about it for a while and wrote a letter to King Zhao with a lot of content.
Ying Zheng first also referred to Weng as his son-in-law, and then mentioned that the Qin and Zhao families were originally the same clan, one was surnamed Ying and the other was Zhao, and they must not encroach on each other. As for the Battle of Changping, the first king of Zhaoxiang had already killed Bai Qi, who was angry for Zhao and calmed the people's grievances.
Ying Zheng also mentioned that he grew up in Zhao when he was a child, and he was very grateful for the care of the Zhao royal family, and now he is fortunate to be accompanied by Princess Hu Yu, and he is extremely happy.
As for the matter of Fan Yu this time, it was also sudden, if Zhao Guo could find it, he would be escorted back to Qin State, if he lost the message, he would go, and Qin State would find a way.
Wang Ben has been repatriated, the border has returned to normal, and the border and commerce between the two countries have returned to normal.
At the end of the day, Ying Zheng did not forget to praise the prince of Zhao and Guo Kai, the minister of Zhao State, saying that as early as when Ying Zheng was a proton, he heard that the prince moved to the house with a benevolent heart and great ambitions, and Guo Kai was a virtuous minister and a good talent, the pillar of the country.
In the end, he also said that after the wedding, he would take Princess Hu Yu back to Zhao Kingdom.
Ying Zheng did not say a word about the abolition of Chang Liyu by King Zhao, nor did he mention General Li Mu at all. There are really a lot of disobedient words in the letter, and there is a great intention to praise King Zhao, and such a diplomatic strategy is actually a plan to delay the army and stabilize the army.
In order not to fight with Zhao Guo within ten years, Ying Zheng must do this. What's more, King Zhao is old, if he is driving a crane, then the next King Zhao's attitude towards Daqin is very important, so it is very necessary to let Prince Qian know that Yingzheng appreciates him.
Ying Zheng finished writing the letter, and did not let Nansu look at it, but handed it to Zhao Gao, and asked Zhao Gao to hand it over to Li Si to take a look at and give advice.
Zhao Gao sighed secretly, but he couldn't think of why Ying Zheng was so interested in Li Si, and as soon as he turned around, Ying Zheng stopped him again and turned back into the inner room.
Ying Zheng found out the white silk used by Cheng Chan to hang himself, handed it to Zhao Gao, and said: "Find more people, transcribe the content on it, and then send it to various places, to ensure that all state capitals or fiefs are handed over, and pass on the order, no matter what official rank and title, all of them will be circulated." β
"The slave obeys." Zhao Gao took the white silk and said.
"Also, hand over the invitation to the widow's wedding." Ying Zheng added.
"Is this all right, Your Majesty?" Zhao Gao frowned and said.
"It's a little inappropriate, but it saves manpower, so you don't have to be constrained." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Gao stepped back and walked towards Li Si's residence.
Ying Zheng didn't go straight back to the bedroom, but sat there and thought for a while, then turned around and walked into the back room of the study. Opening the dark grid, Ying Zheng took out the upper and middle parts of the Book of Changes.
Ying Zheng wiped the bronze covers of the two books with both hands, and pondered: "If the Jingyao side moves faster, you can immediately enter the third layer of the Mausoleum of King Wu of Zhou, will it be the same as the first two floors?" Is the lower part of the I Ching there, and what is the task of this third layer? If the lower part of the Book of Changes is not at this level, then the search for the 'self-instrument' will not be delayed again, and the secret of Jiuding does not know when it will be progressive. Jiuding is still in LΓΌ Buwei's hands, and his grandmother said that she wants to warn the world, presumably for LΓΌ Buwei to see, but at present, he is quite obedient, has he found out something, deliberately behaved like this? β
Cheng Cheng's matter is over, and Princess Nansu is in the boat again, and Ying Zheng's mind is back to his own affairs.
Ying Zheng was afraid of seeing the "Book of Changes" and was fascinated, so he couldn't help but didn't open the copper cover, but when he put the two "I Ching" back, he picked up the Xuanyuan Sword again.
The golden light comes into the eyes, which makes people feel beautiful and dazzling. Ying Zheng carefully stroked the carved patterns on the scabbard, looking at the curved graphics, and the patterns that resembled wild beasts, but he didn't know what kind of divine beast it was, so majestic and sacrosanct.
Ying Zheng looked at the divine beast on the scabbard, but he didn't dare to make eye contact with it, and then looked away, but his fingers still caressed those strange patterns.
"The Book of Changes has not yet been completed, and these patterns must be the same text as Jiuding, and now it can be partially unraveled, but if you leave what you don't understand and don't decipher, it will be more memorable, it's better to wait. This Xuanyuan sword is an ancient divine weapon, in addition to sharpening iron like clay, I don't know what other uses it is, just unraveling these carvings, I guess I won't know too much, the last time I saw Li Si's appearance, it didn't seem like I knew too much, it seemed that I could only wait for the white-clothed senior to come to guide. Ying Zheng thought in his heart, and unconsciously pulled up the Xuanyuan sword a few inches in his hand.
The golden glow is dazzling and intimidating.
The light of the blade is fierce, and the light of the scabbard is intertwined like a dream.
Ying Zheng was in a trance, but he still didn't dare to look at it for a long time, and put his sword into the sheath.
After settling down, Ying Zheng put the Xuanyuan Sword back into the dark grid, glanced around for another week, and his eyes fell on the box containing the Xuantie snail again.
"This dark iron snail, except for opening the mechanism of King Wu's Mausoleum, has not been used much, so it doesn't matter if you open it and take a look." Thinking of this, Ying Zheng took out the Xuantie snail box, put it on the table, and opened it to see.
Ying Zheng took the conch in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then twisted the bulge on the lower part of the snail to change the shape of the snail.
What is the principle that can make such a thing change shape, Ying Zheng has also considered it before, but there are a lot of strange things that he got before, so it is not strange, and now he holds it in his hand, but he also thinks it is very interesting.
After playing for a while, Ying Zheng put the dark iron snail on the compass, but unexpectedly, the dark iron snail moved slowly, first trembling a few times, and then turning clockwise.
Ying Zheng was taken aback, staring intently at the dark iron snail, observing the changes.
After a short spin on the compass for half a week, the snail stopped, and there was no movement.
Ying Zheng suddenly remembered the usefulness of the dark iron snail that the old man in white said, and randomly looked at the tip of the black iron snail, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
What the Xuantie snail is pointing at is where the dark grid is, and it must be the Xuanyuan Sword and the "Book of Changes" that caused the reaction of the Xuantie snail, thus pointing to the direction.
Ying Zheng was curious, picked up the conch again, changed the angle, and put the conch on the compass, as expected, the tip of the conch pointed in the direction of the dark grid.
Ying Zheng picked up the compass and walked around the inner room for a week, never leaving the dark iron snail. And no matter how Yingzheng walked around or changed his position, the tip of the dark iron snail pointed to the position of the dark grid.
Ying Zheng is overjoyed, the heart of this dark iron snail is really useful, if you look for some ancient treasures in the future, it will definitely come in handy.
Putting down the compass, Ying Zheng restored the shape of the dark iron screw, closed the lid, and put it back in the dark grid, and then locked the dark grid. There are more people in the dormitory now, and although no one will come to steal anything, it is better to be careful before moving into the ancient Cheng Palace.
When he slowly returned to the bedroom, the picture in front of him made Yingzheng seem to be back to yesterday.
I saw that Princess Nansu was combing her hair, and it seemed that she had just finished bathing. Nansu deliberately didn't let the maid come to help comb her hair, as if she was waiting for Yingzheng.
Ying Zheng's heart was suddenly stirred with a thousand tenderness, and he walked over quickly, holding up Nansu Youxiang's hair with his hand.
The golden sword and the black hair, one rigid and the other soft, have different feels. But what is more silky is Princess Nansu's Yiyi.
Princess Nansu stretched out her hand and held Yingzheng's hand, turned around, looked at each other, the honey was overflowing, and the spring in the room suddenly became stronger.
Although it is not the first night, whether it is Yingzheng or Princess Nansu, the sweet feeling in his heart is better than yesterday. It was as if he had poured oil on dry wood, and made the flame burn more vigorously.
