Chapter 25 This time Ying Zheng wins
Ying Zheng's expression didn't seem to change, but his voice softened considerably. "Since the Queen Mother has spoken, I naturally won't refuse."
Tsk—Zhao Yuanxi was full of disbelief. This eldest nephew had a very bad temper. Even if she really acted like a queen mother, she probably wouldn't be able to convince him.
After all, it's because she gave too much! She got the advantage and still acted like a spoiled brat!
"The man I sent is called Gao Sheng. Although he is a eunuch, he is smart and can handle things in a safe and reliable manner."
Eunuch? As far as he knew, all the palace servants serving Queen Dowager Zhao were sent by him, so they were people from the Qin Palace.
Ying Zheng was in a rather subtle mood. This person was obviously not stupid, but rather had great talent, but he seemed to be too gullible.
Anyone who comes out of the Qin Palace is his. Doesn’t she have any defense against him?
Thinking of her acting without any concealment, Ying Zheng suddenly laughed.
This person is so bold, maybe he is really not afraid that he will find out something is wrong.
Ying Zheng was being a little unfair to Zhao Yuanxi.
Although she acted a little out of line these days, nothing she did harmed the interests of the Qin State.
Who would care if a retired old lady farms and runs a small business?
Who would have thought that the King of Qin would not be busy destroying the six kingdoms, but would come to Yongcheng and approach her with a fake identity.
"Gao Sheng, I'll remember his name. Ask him to go to Lord Changping's residence. Others will take care of the rest."
"happy!"
Although Zhao Yuanxi was surprised that someone would call her mansion by its full name, the joy of the cooperation made her ignore this abnormality.
As it was getting dark, Zhao Yuanxi wanted to see the guest off, but he saw that he had no intention of leaving.
She pretended to be polite and said, "It's almost time for dinner. Do you want to stay and have dinner before leaving?"
"Then I'd better obey your command!" Ying Zheng bowed to her.
Zhao Yuanxi complained in his heart, then you'd better be more respectful!
The dinner was mainly made of pomelo, and Zhao Yuanxi only made the red bean buns with fresh milk that he had promised to give to Ziying.
Ziying likes sweet food, so Zhao Yuanxi stuffed the buns full of red bean filling.
The outer skin of the bun exudes a strong milky aroma, and inside is sweet and dense red bean paste. One bite will make you feel very satisfied.
Ziying ate two in a row, and even Zhao Yuanxi ate one more.
Ying Zheng was also given two big buns.
Too sweet! Ying Zheng frowned slightly. He still preferred the oil-splashed noodles from before.
Unfortunately, she refused to do it again.
Even so, Ying Zheng still ate it all. Don't think he didn't see it. The little brat finished eating the one in his hand and then set his eyes on the one in his hand.
Even if he doesn't want his things, he won't give them to others.
There was one bun left on the table. Ziying straightened up and reached out to take it, but Zhao Yuanxi held his arm and poked his nose. "You've eaten enough today. If you eat any more, I'll have to rub your belly again tonight."
"But I can still have another one!"
If he doesn't eat it, he will be eaten by that bad guy!
As the two were talking, Ziying saw that the buns had been taken away. He pouted and looked at his mother pitifully.
Ying Zheng spoke cheerfully, "I have a young son at home who is about the same age as Ziying. I think he would also like this snack. I'd like to bring it back for him to try. I hope the Queen Mother doesn't mind!"
Can Zhao Yuanxi say he minds? Obviously not!
What's more, Ziying had indeed eaten enough.
"It's okay. There's still some in the kitchen. You can take some back for the child."
In this round, Ying Zheng won completely!
Before leaving, Ying Zheng had a food box in his hand. In addition to the big buns made by Zhao Yuanxi, the box also contained some small snacks that Ziying liked.
Ziying had a gloomy face and stared at the food box, wishing he could snatch it back.
Hearing that the bad guy was leaving, he became happy again. He said, "Go quickly, go quickly. Don't come back once you leave." As for those delicious foods, hum! Grandma has promised to make him new flavors tomorrow!
The little guy thought he hid his emotions very well, but Ying Zheng saw it very clearly.
He smiled maliciously, "Ziying should be three years old now! It's time for him to start learning. Has the Queen Mother found a teacher for him?"
There was one before, but he died!
Zhao Yuanxi didn't want to talk about this matter anymore. No matter what the inside story was, Ji Sheng couldn't get rid of the label of being a rebel, and Ziying shouldn't have anything to do with him anymore.
She really should find a new teacher for Ziying.
"Not yet. Does Changping-Jun have a suitable candidate?"
"There are indeed a few. Xianyang has many talented scholars in Confucianism and law. I will draw up a list for the Queen Mother someday. If there are any that the Queen Mother likes, I will write to them and ask them to come and teach Ziying well."
Ziying shrank his neck, tugged at the corner of Zhao Yuanxi's clothes, and pleaded weakly, "As long as I have the Great Mother to teach me, I don't need anyone else to teach me!"
"Of course, the Great Mother will teach you, but Ziying must also learn with other teachers."
Zhao Yuanxi doesn't want to be careless about his child's education.
She was very confident in her professional abilities, but she also understood that she only knew how to farm and knew nothing about teaching children. It would be more appropriate for Ziying to study with teachers of this era.
"Thank you very much for your help." Zhao Yuanxi expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.
Ying Zheng had made the suggestion with the intention of teasing the child, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. Glancing at the child's aggrieved face, he chuckled and said, "It's okay, at least Ziying calls me uncle."
No matter what, he is a prince of Qin. We can't just watch him become an illiterate and ignorant playboy.
At the gate of Liyang Palace, Lu Le was waiting.
"Your Majesty!" He hurriedly took the food box from Ying Zheng's hand, and smelled the faint sweet aroma, and Lu Le was puzzled.
The king had been in there for most of the day, and not only did he not quarrel with the queen mother, the queen mother even gave him food?
Is this forgiving the Queen Mother?
"Go back to the palace!" Ying Zheng ordered.
At the same time, Gao Sheng, who had just returned, passed by the King of Qin's carriage. He seemed to see the figure of Eunuch Lu in the crowd.
Gao Sheng's face was filled with surprise. Wasn't Eunuch Lu always by the King of Qin's side? How could he appear in Yongcheng?
When he hurried back to Liyang Palace and asked around, he heard that only Changping Jun had been there.
Could it be that he really saw it wrong? Gao Sheng muttered in his heart.
Lu Le, who was in the carriage, smelled the aroma coming from the food box, swallowed his saliva, and poured a cup of hot tea for Ying Zheng. "Your Majesty, is this the snack that the Queen Mother prepared for you?"
Ying Zheng hummed softly, leaned back on the soft seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Lu Le became more and more confused. This calm appearance did not seem like a sign that the mother and son had reconciled.
However, he could see that the king was in a good mood at the moment, and he thought that there would be no new conflicts between them, which was always a good thing.
"After returning to the palace, let Fusu come to see me." Ying Zheng opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the food box.
