Ying Zheng looked at the charming woman in front of him, feeling somewhat bewildered. He had been sent here yesterday, dressed in Chu clothing.
After Ying Zichu sent him here, he walked out and disappeared. When Zhao Ji sent him away in the morning, her eyes were also red, but she still smiled and touched his hair.
Chen Xuan knew who this woman was, or rather, he guessed who this woman was, and his originally wary eyes softened.
Lady Huayang looked at the bewildered Ying Zheng with an exceptionally gentle gaze. If Ying Zichu had come with a purpose at that time, then Ying Zheng at this time was probably the child given to her by the king, a child who belonged only to her.
"Zheng'er, are you hungry? Grandmother Wang has a lot of delicious food here!" Lady Huayang reached out and gently hugged Ying Zheng in her arms, and ordered the servants to bring some cakes to satisfy Ying Zheng's craving.
Ying Zheng was a little uncomfortable with this, but Chen Xuan kept pressuring him to get along well with his grandmother.
"Grandmother, Zheng'er is not hungry. Zheng'er wants to go outside and take a look." Ying Zheng snuggled in Lady Huayang's arms, reciting the words Chen Xuan taught him.
Madam Huayang felt her heart broken. Such an obedient child had been left outside for eight years, and looking at his body, he was still injured.
"Be good, Zheng'er! When your grandfather is done with the court, your grandmother will have him take you out for a walk so you can have a good look at our Great Qin." Lady Huayang stroked Ying Zheng's head and coaxed him softly, "Our Zheng'er is so precious. It would be bad if he were to be offended."
Ying Zheng really wanted to say that he was very strong and no one could challenge him, but Chen Xuan didn't let him say that.
"Can't Grandmother Wang accompany Zheng'er to take a look?" Ying Zheng lowered his head, his expression distressing. "Zheng'er always feels that Grandfather Wang is too scary."
Lady Huayang had always treated Ying Zheng as a junior, and seeing the Chu clothes on Ying Zheng, she felt a little homesick. She loved Ying Zheng so much that she regarded him as a prince's grandson. When she saw Ying Zheng's frightened expression, Lady Huayang, who was already heartbroken, could not bear it even more.
"Hey! Did I scare Zheng'er yesterday? How about I take Zheng'er out to play for a while today as an apology?"
Before Lady Huayang could say anything, King Xiaowen of Qin walked into the hall with a loud laugh, and after that he touched Ying Zheng's little head affectionately.
Lady Huayang was not in a good mood for King Qin Xiaowen. She rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "Your Majesty only knows how to show off in front of us. Look how scared your concubine's little Zheng'er is."
King Xiaowen of Qin was not annoyed. He looked at Lady Huayang with special affection. Ignoring her pouting, he pulled Ying Zheng up and let him sit in his arms.
Chen Xuan hurriedly flew down from Ying Zheng's head. If he followed Ying Zheng and lay in a woman's arms, it would be fine, but if he lay in a man's arms... let me spit first as a sign of respect.
Ying Zheng looked up at the man who had scolded his father so much that he could not speak. Somehow, Ying Zheng did not feel any aversion at all. He sniffed the scent of alcohol on King Qin Xiaowen and sat quietly in his arms.
"Zheng'er is eight years old now, right?" King Xiaowen of Qin asked Lady Huayang with a smile.
Madam Huayang glared at him angrily and said, "Zichu said he was eight years old. What? Your Majesty, you still want to compete with a child?"
"Huayang, you think I'm narrow-minded?" King Xiaowen of Qin scolded him with a smile. "It's just that Zheng'er is eight years old and needs a seal by his side."
"If the king really loves Zheng'er, then give the Heshi Bi to Zheng'er to carve a seal for him to play with." Lady Huayang looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting obediently in the arms of King Xiaowen of Qin, thinking that he was frightened and dared not move.
"If you don't dare, then return Zheng'er to me. I'll take Zheng'er out to play later!"
"Huayang, you're so good! You asked for this most precious thing right away." King Xiaowen of Qin was not annoyed. He smiled and said to Ying Zheng, "Look how much your grandmother loves you. She asked for the most precious jade in the world to make you a seal."
Chen Xuan's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't care whether Ying Zheng was in a man's arms or not. He quickly came down and pulled Ying Zheng's hair with his hands.
"Zheng boy, hurry up and agree to it, it's a good thing!"
Ying Zheng didn't know what the Heshi Bi was, so he just thought Chen Xuan wanted it, so he started to act coquettishly and said, "Zheng'er thanks Grandfather Wang for the reward, and Grandmother Wang for her love."
King Xiaowen of Qin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "This child is exactly what I like. Huayang, take Zheng'er out to play for a while. I'll have someone fetch the Heshi Bi and carve the largest seal for Zheng'er."
Chen Xuan was a little anxious. If he asked this person to carve the seal, he didn't know what it would look like. If he made a mistake, his mission would be ruined.
Although Chen Xuan also wanted to try making the national sacred artifact without the imperial seal, he didn't dare to gamble on it. If he won, there would be no loss of the beast armor. If he lost, maybe Zheng Xiao would not be able to unify the country, and he would become the biggest sinner in history.
Although Sima Qian may not have known him, who knows?
Ying Zheng heard Chen Xuan's whispers. He knelt on the ground after just coming down from King Xiaowen of Qin's arms and said, "Grandfather, please take Zheng'er with you. Zheng'er wants to carve something on it!"
King Xiaowen of Qin thought it was just a child being playful and didn't want to pay any attention to it. But eventually, his playful mood came over him and he said with a smile, "I wonder what words my little Zheng'er is going to carve on it?"
Ying Zheng raised his head, his clear eyes gazing at King Xiaowen of Qin. King Xiaowen felt dazed, as if he saw a dragon growling, "Zheng'er, I want to carve these eight characters: 'Mandated by Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper.'"
