Chapter 283: Child Labor Arrest
Seeing him like that, Zhao Yuanxi was afraid that the two of them would start arguing. If that happened, Ying Zheng would be so angry that he would die, and Fusu would really become a motherless child.
"Take it easy and talk to her nicely. After all, this isn't entirely her fault."
Apart from being a little too extreme towards Fusu, from Lady Mi's perspective, she did not make any big mistakes. It would be strange if she was indifferent to the crisis of her motherland.
Ying Zheng paused slightly and only responded with a single word. It was unclear whether he agreed or not.
This was a matter between the young couple, so Zhao Yuanxi didn't want to interfere too much. Seeing Fusu's worried look, he comforted her, "It's okay! They have to handle some things themselves."
"Father is angry." Fusu said sullenly.
"He knows his limits."
"Will I never see my mother again?" Although Fusu tried to make his voice calmer, the little tremor still revealed his sadness at the moment.
"If your father doesn't let you go, your mother can take you there secretly. Your father can't control me anyway!"
Zhao Yuanxi pinched Fusu's little nose and made fun of him.
"thank you!"
"Fusu is the eldest mother's baby, no need to thank me." Zhao Yuanxi looked at Ziying beside him, took him in his arms, and kissed his little face, "Ziying is also the eldest mother's baby!"
"Ziying was very brave and amazing today. He did a great job!"
Ziying was a little embarrassed by the praise, "I just saw them bullying my elder brother and I couldn't help it. It's not as good as my elder mother said."
"Hmm? It seems Ziying has even learned to be modest!"
Ziying's face flushed red and he shyly hid behind Fusu.
Zhao Yuanxi chuckled.
When Ying Zheng came out, his expression was calm. If you ignored the bite marks at the corners of his lips, he looked no different from before.
Perhaps it was Zhao Yuanxi's direct gaze that made Ying Zheng's expression somewhat unnatural, even his ears reddened. He coughed lightly and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to move her to another palace. If you still have something to say to her, now is the time."
Zhao Yuanxi sighed silently. If there weren't so many conflicts between the two of them, perhaps Fusu would be the happiest child in the world.
She patted Fusu's back gently and took him in to see Lady Mi.
Ziying did not follow him in. In his opinion, Lady Mi was a bad person who bullied his elder brother and was not worthy of being his elder brother's mother.
Ying Zheng crossed his arms, catching a glimpse of Ziying's gaze from the corner of his eye. He asked nonchalantly, "What do you want to say?"
"Uncle, what's wrong with your mouth?"
…
"Uncle, why aren't you saying anything? Did you bite yourself? I bite myself when I eat snacks too! It's not something to be ashamed of!"
"Shut up!"
Cheng Jiao is a nuisance, and his son is just as annoying!
Ziying snorted. His uncle, the King of Qin, was still so annoying.
The two uncle and nephew unexpectedly had the same train of thought.
After being scolded, Ziying simply stopped talking to Ying Zheng and sat outside obediently waiting for his mother to bring his elder brother out.
"I heard that it was you who protected Fusu?"
Ziying moved his little butt but didn't say anything.
Ying Zheng strangely understood what he meant and said with a smile, "You have quite a bad temper. I will allow you to speak now!"
"Humph! So what?"
"Well done!" Ying Zheng stroked Ziying's messy hair. "What do you want from me as a reward?"
Ziying's eyes lit up, "Anything is fine?"
“Within reason.”
"Then can you reward me with endless snacks?"
Ying Zheng paused. He wanted to agree directly, but the Queen Mother would definitely not agree. "This matter needs the Queen Mother's approval."
My grandmother would definitely not agree.
"Then can I be exempted from all future classes?"
…
"This one won't work either."
How could he, a prince of Qin, be so ignorant and incompetent?
"Hmph, this won't work, and that won't work! I don't want it anymore!" Ziying said angrily. He thought his uncle, the King of Qin, was so powerful, but it turned out to be so useless!
Ying Zheng licked his back teeth and looked at Ziying's little eyes. He suddenly felt a little itchy. "Don't you want a big house or gold, silver and jewelry?"
"I just want to live in Grandmother's big house! Grandmother will also give me all the gold, silver and jewelry!"
Why would he ask his uncle, the King of Qin, for something he could get from his great mother? It wasn't like his great mother wouldn't give it to him. It was a strange question.
Ying Zheng was shocked to find that he had no advantage over the Queen Mother in front of this little guy. "Then don't you want to be an official?"
"Being an official means working for you. Why should I work for you?" Ziying asked with his head tilted in confusion.
He can't even finish all the things he has to do every day! Why would he find extra things for himself? In this world, only Big Brother likes to take the trouble to find things for himself!
…
"Very good!" Ying Zheng laughed angrily.
Ziying felt a chill on his back and turned to look behind him, but saw nothing. He looked up and met the malicious eyes of his uncle, the King of Qin. He couldn't help but shrink back in fear, shouting in his heart, "Brother, mother, come out quickly! Uncle Qin is going to bully the children!"
Fortunately, Zhao Yuanxi and Fusu did not stay in the house for too long and came out after a while.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the two men, one taller than the other, facing each other, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"
"Mother!" Ziying quickly hid behind Zhao Yuanxi, looking extremely scared.
"Did you bully him?" Zhao Yuanxi asked Ying Zheng in confusion.
Although she didn't think Ying Zheng would bully a child, sometimes this guy had a bad taste, and it was not impossible that he would tease Ziying!
Ying Zheng sneered, his eyes fixed on the little guy hiding behind the Queen Mother, "How could I bully him? He defended Fusu, I should reward him handsomely!"
"Now that Fusu has become a Palace Attendant, Ziying is of similar age and equally capable. It's time for him to serve the Qin State. What role does the Queen Mother think Ziying can play?"
This sudden question made Zhao Yuanxi stunned.
Let Ziying be an official?
She really couldn't think of what this little guy could do. Although Fusu was now the Minister of the Interior, it was actually Ying Zheng who kept him by his side to take charge of government affairs, and did not leave the affairs to him.
"He's still young, it's too early for this."
You can't let Ying Zheng have two little followers around him all the time! Then he might as well stop being the King of Qin and become the King of Children!
Ying Zheng's lips curled up slightly, "It's getting late. Letting him do something within his ability will also be a good exercise for him."
Ziying was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Zhao Yuanxi's clothes, shook his head repeatedly, and called out with a strong desire to survive, "Grandmother!"
Zhao Yuanxi glanced at Fusu and then at Ziying. He felt that what Ying Zheng said made some sense. It was just some exercise and would be beneficial to Ziying.
