Ying Zichu wanted to say some warm words to Ying Zheng, a son who had not seen him for a long time.

However, Zhao Ji was stuck like a silk flower on the side, so she had to give up.

He instructed the palace people to take Ying Zheng and Bai Tao into the palace, and then went hand in hand with Zhao Ji.

Looking at it this way, it really looks like an ordinary folk couple.

Bai Tao was also happy for Aunt Zhao, she pulled the sleeve of Ying Zheng next to her, "Ying Zheng, are you happy to go home?" ”

"Happy."

Ying Zheng rubbed her head.

Bai Tao also touched the top of her hair, but she didn't feel any difference.

So why does he always like to rub his head?

He is now scurrying, he can rub his hands together, and in a year or two, he will probably have to bend down and rub his head, and if he bends down, it will seem that she is a fox spirit who is so faceless.

No, you have to help him get rid of this bad problem.

After Bai Tao finished thinking about it, he was a little unhappy and covered his head, "Don't rub it, it won't grow tall if you rub it again." ”

"Eat more and you'll grow taller." He said.

Bai Tao remembered that Brother Ah had said the same thing before, and his eyes were a little gloomy: "Why are you the same as my Brother, Brother also said that I can grow up if I eat more." ”

Ying Zheng found that she was reminded of her sadness, looked at her with lowered eyes, and her cold eyebrows and eyes instantly melted, only to see that the warmth that her relatives did not have was rippling at this time.

He took her little hand and clasped it a little bit, "In the future, I will be your brother." ”

"Are you trying to trick me into calling you Brother Zheng again?"

Bai Tao tilted his head to look at him, and the sunset at this time was rubbed into his eyes, like a layer of floating light and gold.

Ying Zheng lowered his eyelashes: "It's just a title, Tao Tao can call it whatever she wants." ”

"Then if I call you Brother Zheng, will you be a little happier?"

"Yes."

Bai Tao showed a small expression of "sure enough", "Actually, you weren't very happy just now, you were forcing a smile and making a scene, you people are just strange." ”

Ying Zheng didn't speak, just rubbed her head again.

"......" came and came and came and went.

Bai Tao puffed out her face and glared at him, in her own eyes, she must be fierce, as fierce as a tiger, but unexpectedly in Ying Zheng's eyes, he reached over and pinched her cheek, "Taotao, be good." ”

White Peach: "....."

Bai Tao, who was angry, pulled out his hand and put it all the way in his sleeve, wanting to tickle him and make him look good.

Unexpectedly, after a few scratches, Ying Zheng didn't even mess up his breath, and the glow stagnated in his eyelashes like a resting golden thread butterfly.

Bai Tao's scratching hand was tired, and he put it down, he was a little frustrated, "Don't scratch you, my hands are still tired." ”

Ying Zheng pursed her lips, put her free hand in the palm of her hand, and held it well.

He didn't say a few words during the whole process, and Bai Tao had her little temper, and there was a kind of drowning tolerance.

When Bai Tao was led by him to the residence, he watched the rows of palace lamps being lit by the palace people, far away, as if they were gathered together by the wind, and there was a kind of dreamlike ripples.

She tugged at the sleeve of Yingzheng beside her.

When he lowered his eyebrows and looked at her at the same time, Bai Tao covered his face with his sleeve, and his voice was not too loud, "Brother Zheng." ”

His arm was visibly stiff.

Bai Tao wanted to run away.

Ying Zheng squatted down, Bai Tao was a little afraid to look at his eyes, those eyes were as white as ice and snow, black as dark clouds, and the haze inside seemed to have been washed away.

"Call again." He said.

Call it, call it once, and don't be afraid to call it twice.

Bai Tao opened his mouth and came, "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng..."

Ying Zheng hugged her in his arms, "Taotao, I'm happy, really." ”

The little boy's arms were really warm, Bai Tao felt like she was staying in the stove, she rubbed his youthful vigor and human emperor breath, and squinted her eyes comfortably, "I feel happy if you're happy." ”

Ying Zheng hugged her tightly, ignoring the eyes of the palace people in front of him, as if there should be only the two of them in this world.

How can there be such a pleasing person.

Ying Zheng thought to himself, her every move, word and smile was like a spring water soothing his old wounds and pains, and he just wanted to hold her in his arms and protect her.

"Let's go, Momo, go back to our home."

"Okay."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he restrained her and let her go, took her hand and walked in.

*

The snow falls on winter nights, the snow melts in spring, and it is a hot summer day in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Ying Zheng worshiped the Taimiao, recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and Lü Buwei officially became his teacher, and the recognition of this identity made him the eldest son of Qin, the prince of Qin.

But the attitude of the Empress Dowager Yang in the palace is really elusive.

Ying Zichu's second son Cheng Jiao is only three years younger than Ying Zheng, and he has been raised by the Empress Dowager Huayang since he was a child, and he is very pampered.

But the Empress Dowager Huayang showed an attitude of ignoring the fact that Yingzheng was made the crown prince and Zhao Ji was made queen, and let the other faction in the court and the central government pull up.

That is, the faction of foreign ministers bound by Lü Buwei Yingzheng and Zhao Ji.

Cheng Jiao's biological mother, Mrs. Han, has repeatedly come to make trouble for this, but it is useless for her to cry with a handkerchief.

To say that the direction of the wind in the palace has changed like this, Mrs. Huayang has a cold face towards Zhao Ji Yingzheng, she has never appreciated a good face, and even ridiculed Zhao Ji on the bright side.

One sentence is from a hook column, one sentence is not very useful, and another sentence is to corrupt the royal atmosphere, and finally a sentence directly to sell oneself and do business.

The sentences were heart-wrenching, which directly embarrassed Zhao Ji and made her untenable.

The contest between the harem and the previous dynasty is not to mention the turbulent waves, at least the situation is tense and on the verge of breaking out.

In this situation, only Zi Chu, as the king of Qin, did not participate in the peace.

In fact, Ying Zichu stayed in other countries for more than ten years, and once he returned to China to become the king of Qin, most of them relied on Mrs. Huayang and Lü Buwei, who had real talent and learning.

The most urgent need for him is merit, and only merit can give him the weight to speak.

How did this feat come about?

The only way to do it is to fight.

The head of Yingzi Chu had already sent troops to take Chenggao and Xingyang in South Korea, and changed it to Sanchuan County.

After the eldest son Yingzheng returned to China, he no longer cared, and went to crusade against Zhao again, captured a full thirty-seven cities of Zhao State, and changed it to Taiyuan County.

The Qin army is brave and good at fighting, and its morale is boiling, and it is not over after taking so many cities, and the unlucky Wei State is also beaten, but this time the Qin army, which is like a bamboo, has fallen a big heel.

Wei Wuji of Wei was the king of Xinling, and his reputation and status among the countries were quite high, and in order to resist the Qin army, he provoked the response of the four kingdoms of Yan, Han, Chu, and Zhao.

Except for the Qi State, which did not dare to fight, the five countries finally got together, directly cut off the Weishui, and ambushed and attacked in Shaohua Mountain.

The Qin army was defeated and fled back to China.

After the generals of the Qin army returned to China, Ying Zichu did not pursue his mistakes, and was very tolerant and generous.

Unexpectedly, within half a month, Ying Zichu fell ill.

The so-called illness is like a mountain, this illness is very strange, the Empress Dowager Huayang bowed down to visit, angrily reprimanded Zhao Ji, saying that she did not know how to measure, hollowed out the body of King Qin, and punished her for half a month.

Zhao Ji was so indignant that she had to respond.

The harem woman is short-sighted and only cares about the gains and losses in front of her, and only Lu Xiang and Lu Buwei know that this is a heart disease.

Ying Zichu is making great achievements, but he has never suffered a miserable defeat, and behind his humility is nothing more than depression and sorrow that cannot be stretched.

This kind of accumulated sorrow and disambition is the blood that has flowed in Yingzichu for more than 30 years, and Lü Buwei can't resolve it at one time, so he has to offer a buffer strategy.

Lü Buwei said: "The five countries are now through this battle, faintly emerging the trend of merging, as the saying goes, the tiger is also afraid of wolves, it is better for us to use a divisive strategy to frame the leader of Xinlingjun, so that he and the king of Wei can be separated from Germany, and then the situation of the alliance will be broken." ”

What Lu Buwei thinks is exactly what Yingzi Chu is worried about.

"Yes."

The divisive plan is very bad, and the Qin State has been used up in the Battle of Changping, but it can't stand it.

The minister of Qin sent letters to the mansion of Xinling Jun every day, which means one: You and I have a leg, you and I have a leg, everyone look, he has a leg with us!

And it worked, King Wei became suspicious, Xinling Jun was so angry that he vomited blood, and he successfully fell ill.

The external worries were solved, and the position of the head of the Seven Kingdoms of Qin was indestructible, but the body of King Yingzi Chu of Qin did not improve in the slightest, but intensified.

Zhao Ji and Mrs. Han rushed to serve him at the bedside, and Ying Zheng would also greet his teacher Lu Buwei after finishing school.

The palace was full of shadows, and everyone seemed to be busy.

Only Bai Tao is different, she now enjoys the princess's example, she eats well and uses well.

The key is not to say hello to Yingzi Chu and the Empress Dowager Huayang, and don't care about the things that shake your lips and puff out your tongue and twist your belly.

"Whoa—"

When Bai Tao was still swaying on his stomach for leisure, there was a beaded curtain rolled outside, and a palace maid who was twenty-eight years old came in.

She held the lacquered mahogany plate, saw the white peach sitting on the jade mat, put the jade light cup on the long table, and said in a light voice, "Back to the little master, the ice cube is finished, this is the last one." ”

It's hot in the middle of summer, it's noisy outside, and it's stuffy inside.

White peaches are often greedy for cold, and they have to hold the ice drink every day to drink quickly before stopping.

Hearing what the palace maid said, she was not happy, "Last time I told Brother Zheng about this, didn't he say that he would take his monthly salary to a private company outside the palace to buy it?" Could it be that there is no ice in the private sector outside? ”

The palace maid immediately said, "Your Highness said so after all, but how can there be a prince and grandson who go to buy ice cubes privately, and others don't poke at the backbone and say that they are greedy for pleasure, and they don't look good." ”

"Besides, Your Highness never arranges things when he travels, nor does he covet pleasure, so you have to share one or two for Your Highness, little lord."

"What do I share?"

The palace maid said casually: "If you want to share the burden for Your Highness, you must first not pester Your Highness, just so that Your Highness can let go of his hands and feet to do great things." ”

Bai Tao frowned at her.

The palace maid still grovels, but her hair is divided equally from side to side, and she is wrapped in ornaments, which can be seen differently, because ordinary palace maids will not be a little embellished.

This palace maid's name is Die'er, and she is a person sent by the Empress Dowager Zhao to serve the King of Qin.

Since Empress Dowager Zhao entered the palace and stayed with King Qin all day long, she was like a spring rain roaring and a great show, and she completely changed her appearance.

He also began to discipline his son, who had not been paying attention before.

But he didn't know what books his son read, what swordsmanship he practiced, what he liked and didn't like, Zhao Ji thought about it a few times, and sent the trained Die'er over and put it next to King Qin.

Bai Tao originally didn't have any ill will towards Aunt Zhao's people, but she always had a tone of order, so she felt uncomfortable, "What do you tell me, the ice cube is what Brother Zheng wants to give, and the moon is also his intention to spend on me, and he is also happy to play with me." ”

"If you want to persuade him, persuade him, tell me this, just to see that I am a bully, hum, nasty ghost."

With that, Bai Tao got up and left.

Die'er didn't expect her to say this, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly came up to stop her, "Little master, where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to find Brother Zheng."

"His Royal Highness is still with Lu Xiang, learning how to govern the country in peace, and the little master will never go."

Bai Tao raised her eyelids slightly to look at the butterfly who was blocking her way, and then at the flowers on her sideburns, "I'll go to Brother Zheng, and I don't blame you, as a palace maid, you dare to stand in my way?" ”

Die'er knelt on the ground with a "flutter", and spoke earnestly, "Little master, the slave maid should do her best to serve His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is in Lu Xiang's place, it is really not good to bother, little master, if you want to punish me, the slave and maid are willing to die for the future of His Highness!" ”

In the end, her tone was raised, and she had the momentum of being generous to death, and she seemed to be white and unrecognizable.

This movement has brought the inner servants who are serving outside.

The beaded curtain swept in, and a waiter with shrunken shoulders and arched back and white skin walked in.

This life's inner servant is called Zhao Gao, because of his martial arts, although his posture is quite magnificent, but he doesn't look honest, but his eyes are smart, and he looks like a smart person.

Zhao Gao saw the white peach with his brows twisted, and said respectfully: "The slave has seen the little master." ”
