Chapter XVII
"Ying Zheng?"
The carriage was sparkling, the white peach was washed fragrantly, wrapped into a small pink ball, she asked, "Then I won't call you Zhao Zheng in the future, will I call you Yingzheng?" β
Ying Zheng was dressed in black, looking calm and condensed, "It's okay." β
"Yingzheng."
Bai Tao said again, she was really bulky to be wrapped, and the two of them were dizzy, more like a small bun, and it was gone after a bite.
Bai Tao leaned her head on Ying Zheng's knee, "Ying Zheng, I miss my brother so much." β
β.....β
Ying Zheng touched her head, during the period from the escape of Zhao State to the Qin State, she never said that she missed her brother, only when the crisis was resolved, she would say that she was sensible and distressing, "In the future, I will take good care of you like your brother." β
The girl rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Okay." β
The soldiers accompanying the carriage were all old men, and they would not comb the hair of a young daughter.
So she has always been wearing long and thin soft hair, especially if she hums so softly, she is even more obedient.
Ying Zheng touched her head without a match, and the time shuttled between her fingers and black hair, which seemed extremely soft.
Fan Yuzhi, who was ignored in the carriage, held a stalk of grass in his mouth, leaving them one big and one small, without saying a word.
At the end, he spit out and said, "Raising a little daughter-in-law here?" β
Ying Zheng: "....."
The grass stalk in Fan Yuqi's mouth turned, and then he hunched his back and lifted the curtain and went out.
As soon as his bull went out, even the horses pulling the cart could catch their breath.
Fan Yuzhi, who went out, opened his chest, exhaled and exhaled, and after the white mist pumped back and forth a few times, he rode around to Zhao Ji's carriage.
It's strange to say, this little one doesn't look like a ruthless person, but how can he be so alienated as a son and a mother?
Zhao Ji was protected by the dead in the blizzard at that time, which can be regarded as a great blessing.
This Zhao Zheng, bah, should be called Yingzheng, even if he doesn't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he has to be called Wang.
This Yingzheng ah, the situation was not much better at that time.
When I was at the city gate with the girl, it was really like a big escape, and as a result, the thin son and the miserable mother met at once.
Fan Yuzhi thought it was a mother-son meeting, even if he didn't cry bitterly, he would have to shout from his mother and son.
As a result, he thought too much.
It's cold, colder than the ice of dog days.
It's better to be his mother, beat him three times a day, and the pauses are not the same, not to say that it hurts or not, at least it's humane.
Fan Yuzhi shivered in the cold wind, not cold, but this escort was meritorious, and King Qin had to give him a big reward, excited.
Thinking of this, Fan Yuzhi rubbed his fingers and took the reins to Zhao Ji's car curtain, "Madame auspicious." β
The curtain moved, and Zhao Ji inside pinched the corner of the curtain with her hand.
To say that it is only the spirit of this poor woman who is stumbling in Zhao Kingdom, although those days are hard, but she doesn't have to do laundry, cooking, and rough work, but she can't see any suffering.
Her demeanor, which was once the No. 1 singer in HD, is still there.
Especially Zhao Ji, who was wearing gold and silver earrings, dressed luxuriously, and had lipstick in her mouth, was even more beautiful, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed, "General Fan, escorting our mother and son has meritorious." β
Hey, people have changed.
This is also a sharp rope.
Fan Yu was happy: "The last general will do things like this, don't dare to do it." β
Zhao Ji didn't say anything and let go.
The curtain of the car swayed down, and it also blocked the rich smell of fat powder.
The guard of honor who returned to China continued to drive towards Xianyang Palace, and the white peach pillow in the carriage in front of him was sleeping sweetly on Yingzheng's lap.
Ying Zheng nodded the tip of her nose, "Taotao, it's coming." β
Bai Tao was woken up, pulled his sleeve and wiped a little saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Ying Zheng: "Do you remember what I told you?" β
"I know, I can't remember saying it seven or eight times."
Bai Tao felt that his long-winded posture was comparable to that of his brother.
At this moment, the swaying carriage suddenly stopped, and a eunuch shouted outside in a long, sharp tone, "Madame Zhao and Wang Zizheng pay a visit to King Qinβ"
So fast?
Bai Tao patted the pastry dregs on the little skirt, she didn't need to bow her head in this carriage, she could just step on it.
Ying Zheng returned to Qin and became a prince, since ancient times, there has been a tradition of establishing a prince and a chief, maybe he is still a prince, and now his status is not the same, and it stands to reason that he can't lead her down.
But below is a human stool, even if the human stool is arched with a white peach, this little short leg can't reach it.
She was waiting to jump neatly from the carriage.
Ying Zheng sighed, hugged her with her long arms, and thought that she really couldn't leave him.
Bai Tao felt that it didn't matter if he was hugged down or jumped, but when his feet landed, he found that there was a row of brocade clothes standing in front of him.
The mighty Qin people, there are men and women, old and young.
The color of the sky was as thin as paper, and they were wearing the heaviest clothes, standing under the palace of the Qin Palace, above the thick soil, and even the corners of their eyes were full of countless curiosities, pickiness and scrutiny.
"Is it the king's wife, has he Zheng'er returned?"
The King of Qin, who was surrounded by a crown and wore a crown, took the lead in speaking, his voice did not have the majesty of the king, only a deep longing and urgency.
"King!"
Zhao Ji's cry was as graceful as a warbler, she ignored the eyes around her and the shackles of the world, as hot as a poplar forest.
She pounced and hugged King Qin tightly, "King, the concubine misses you so much." β
King Qin also burst into tears: "Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji of this king, you have suffered." β
Bai Tao, who was led by Yingzheng, witnessed everything and smelled the fragrance of her daughter's fat powder in the wind. She sneezed a little, and looked at King Qin and Mrs. Zhao Ji who had reunited after a long absence.
King Qin's name is Yingzi Chu, he is in his thirties, and he looks good....
Bai Tao compared it with Yingzheng in his heart.
She glanced sideways at Yingzheng, who was silent as the background, and found that this father didn't look like his son at all, and he didn't look much like him, even in temperament.
"The king woo woo woo woo ...."
"Madame, you have suffered."
King Yingzi Chu of Qin was still holding Zhao Ji sadly, completely ignoring the faces of the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mrs. Han around her, as well as a few ministers of the humerus.
His temperament is relatively weak, as if he is holding up a wooden stick, if he doesn't hold it like this, he may collapse immediately.
And it seems that he won't live long, maybe not for a year, which is even more miserable than Zhao Ji in his arms who can live for several years.
Bai Tao blinked.
I saw a noble woman standing next to Ying Zichu again, this woman had been staring coldly at Zhao Ji and Ying Zichu who were hugging each other.
This woman's background is not small, Bai Tao once heard Fan Yuzhi and Yingzheng talk about it.
This is the powerful Empress Dowager Huayang of the Qin State.
Behind the Empress Dowager Huayang is the State of Chu, the faction of the State of Chu stationed in the State of Qin, and the Empress Dowager Huayang is the mother of Yingzi Chu and the grandmother of Yingzheng's relatives.
Because the national filial piety is not over yet.
She combed her hair in a high bun, inserted a few white pearls, and only wore a pair of peacock beads on her ears, but as simple as a decoration, it showed an unattainable dignity.
Compared with Zhao Ji, who was still holding King Qin and crying, I don't know how many times better.
"Enough!"
The Empress Dowager Huayang couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded King Qin and Zhao Ji who were hugging each other, "This is the royal family, not a song and dance workshop, what kind of system is it to cry and sing." β
As soon as these words fell, it was like a slap in the face of Zhao Ji, and it hurt hotly.
The middle-aged man next to him had a kind face, and even his eye lines showed that he was approachable.
He is Lu Xiang Lu Buwei, he stood up and said, "Hehe, the Queen Mother is angry, the king and his wife are a husband and wife in distress, this long-term absence has become an encounter, it is excusable, it is excusable." β
Saying that, LΓΌ Buwei glanced at Yingzichu, who was still crying, it can be said that without LΓΌ Buwei's original daughter who rescued Yingzichu from Zhao, where would Chu Zichu be the king and hegemon today.
Yingzi Chu immediately understood, and the Empress Dowager of Chao Huayang respectfully admitted her mistake, "The queen mother is angry, it is the sons who have lost their proportions." β
Empress Dowager Huayang straightened her sleeves, "Since Zichu knows the measure, don't mess up." β
"Yes, the sons obey the teachings of the queen mother."
"Hmm."
The Empress Dowager Huayang is satisfied with this son's obedience.
She glanced at the childish Zhao Ji, and then looked at the Minister of State Lu Buwei, and said with a little bit of sharpness and grace, "Lu Xiang, still don't take care of it?" β
"Yes! Dowager. β
LΓΌ Buwei gave up his hand.
LΓΌ Buwei was born as a businessman, he didn't have so many shelves, and he was sleek all over his body.
He had already seen the little boy and girl who had not come not far away.
Facing the daylight, he smiled and beckoned, "This is Wang Zizheng, right?" Come over and see the Queen Mother and the King soon. β
Ying Zheng stiffened his face and saluted with a white peach, "Erchen has seen his father and grandmother." β
Ying Zichu saw that his eldest son was born so straight and extraordinary, looked him up and down, and happily stretched out his hand to help him up, "My son.."
"Waitβ" Mrs. Huayang raised her hand and stopped, "Raise your head." β
Ying Zheng raised his head.
Bai Tao was still obediently making an ornament next to Yingzheng, and suddenly heard this somewhat fierce woman say that she raised her head.
She thought to herself that she couldn't say anything clearly, and she didn't call her head up without naming her name, and she didn't know which one to call to raise her head.
Never mind.
No matter what, Bai Tao also raised his head.
Mrs. Huayang's demeanor seemed to have been measured with a ring ruler, and she walked over step by step.
Stopped in front of them, the skirt behind it rustled against the ground of the white jade plate.
This is the first time that the Empress Dowager Huayang, who is in power, will speak to Ying Zheng, the son of King Qin who is in exile in HD, and her attitude represents the attitude of the deceased King Qin Xiaowen, but also the attitude of the entire Qin State.
Everyone held their breath.
"Not bad."
The Empress Dowager Huayang spoke.
This is good to some people to breathe a sigh of relief, and it makes others lift their hearts.
But they didn't expect the situation to change in an instant, and when everyone carefully saw the eyes of the Empress Dowager Huayang, they were collectively stunned.
Bai Tao, who looked at the fierce woman, was also stunned, thinking why did she keep looking at me, did she have any bad intentions for me?
The Empress Dowager Huayang was looking at Bai Tao, her gaze was a little sharp, as if she was going to dissect her, take a closer look, "This face, the daughter of destiny, will be unspeakably expensive in the future." β
The daughter of destiny, unspeakably expensive?
Everyone looked at the white peach in unison.
Powdered peach cheeks and apricot eyes, especially the whole looks innocent and soft and glutinous, there is no need to guess that it will definitely be a peerless beauty in the future.
But is it time to look at faces?
"Queen Mother, this..."
Ying Zichu didn't come forward, Lu Buwei hurriedly came over to save the situation, he said respectfully, "Queen Mother, next to this is your grandson, Ying Zheng, take a look...?" β
"Yingzheng."
Empress Dowager Huayang's face may not be so cold, but it does look as pale as water, she said, "Too stubborn, too ambitious, unruly, what's the point." β
It seemed to be "snapped" again, and another slap came out.
Heavy, painful.
Zhao Ji's face turned pale, and Ying Zichu's face was not very supportive.
Mrs. Han, who was beside her, couldn't hide the schadenfreude on her face, she took Ying Zichu's second son Cheng Jiao, and looked down at her son, Cheng Jiao was still yawning inconsequentially.
The relatives of the Chu family, that is, Mrs. Huayang's faction, are all secretly having fun, like villains.
Only Lu Buwei was present who could hide his face.
There is also Yingzheng.
Xu is humiliated a lot, this is not painful for him, and even when the Empress Dowager Huayang is gone, Yingzheng can't fault the etiquette all over his body, compared to this group of people, he is more like an undercurrent.
Turbulent undercurrents.
As soon as Mrs. Huayang left, even the sense of oppression in the air was reduced, and Yingzi Chu hurriedly helped up her son, "Zheng'er, in Zhao State, I have been wronged." β
"Father Xie"
Ying Zheng got up with Bai Tao, and his tone was not warm or cold.
Yingzi Chu had already noticed that there was a puff girl beside her eldest son, so it was difficult to ask, but now she opened her mouth to ask, "This is..."
Bai Tao immediately took out the wording of Ying Zhengjiao before, his eyes were wet, and he said in a soft tone: "King, you may not remember, my brother is from Qin, when he was doing business in Zhao State before, the carriage rolled over in the snow and was rescued by you, my brother can't find you, so I will repay Ying Zheng more." β
"Now he knows how many miles, knows the art of war and swordsmanship, but my brother is trying to help Yingzheng escape, and now he doesn't know how life and death are, woo woo..."
Bai Tao squeezed out two tears, crying and crying and feeling that Brother was really sad that he was not there, and she had to learn to lie, she hugged Yingzheng and cried, "Woo woo woo woo...."
Ying Zheng pursed his lips and patted her on the back without saying a word.
Carriage rollover rescue, is there such a thing?
Ying Zichu looked a little puzzled, he really couldn't remember.
But I don't want to recall the days under the fence of Zhao Guo, and every page taken out and turned over in those days was painful.
Seeing the girl crying so sadly, he was a little at a loss, "Don't cry, since your brother's life and death are unknown in order to save Zheng'er, and he is also a warrior of the Qin State, and I see that you and Zheng'er are suffering together in the Zhao State, and the friendship is deep, you will live in Xianyang Palace in the future and enjoy the princess's share." β
It just so happened that he didn't have a daughter, and seeing that this girl was really pleasing, he was also quite soft-hearted and pityful.
Moreover, this is the daughter of destiny that the Empress Dowager Huayang said, no matter what the purpose is, he is also giving the Empress Dowager Huayang.
This move is poking Ying Zheng's heart, and he is grateful, "Thank you, father!" β
Bai Tao felt his hand patting her back poking her waist, she stopped crying and hiccuped softly, "King Xie." β
