Chapter 89 I Will Watch You
Zhang Liang stopped thinking about what had just happened and started pulling the rod for her.
In the morning, Zhao Yuanxi caught two bass and three carp, all of which were huge.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled until his eyes narrowed, and said boastfully, "It seems my skills haven't regressed. You're lucky today, kid. You're in for a treat!"
Zhao Yuanxi kept one sea bass for himself and asked Zhang Liang to take the rest of the fish back for the people in Canglang Pavilion to eat.
Zhang Liang was caught off guard by four big fish. He was splashed with water and was a little dazed. He returned to Canglang Pavilion with the fishing bucket, but was stopped by someone at the door.
"We have fish to eat again today." Ling Yin clapped his hands with laughter. He quickly took the bucket of fish from Zhang Liang, counted the fish in it, and licked his lips happily. "This fish is obviously the work of the Queen Mother."
In the entire Liyang Palace, only the Empress Dowager has the leisure to go fishing. If there is fish in the dishes served in Canglang Pavilion one day, it is likely that it was sent by the Empress Dowager.
"Master Mao, we're going to add more dishes today!" Ling Yin's shouting was heard by many people.
Xu Yi poked his head out and saw Zhang Liang still standing in the courtyard. He smiled and beckoned him over, "Just leave the fish to the governor. We'll just wait and eat it!"
Xu Yi was already accustomed to Ling Yin's noisy behavior.
Zhang Liang nodded and walked towards Xu Yi, but after only two or three steps, he felt someone was staring at him.
Zou Heng raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised that the Queen Mother did not punish Zhang Liang.
Although there was no evidence, it was not difficult for Zou Heng to guess that Zhang Liang was related to the accident a while ago. In this case, he might have to re-evaluate this person's position in the Queen Mother's heart.
Zou Heng could see that he had the talent to assist the king, but anyone who was unwilling to contribute to the Qin State would be a threat to the Qin State, even if he had great talent.
The Queen Mother is still too soft-hearted.
The hostility in Zou Heng's eyes was too obvious for Zhang Liang to ignore even if he wanted to.
The two men looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes. Zhang Liang curled the corners of his mouth. This was the attitude a normal person should have towards him.
Xu Yi ignored their veiled rivalry and pulled Zhang Liang over to look him up and down. "Why are your clothes wet? The weather has gotten much cooler. Go back and change your clothes!"
Before Zhang Liang could say a few words, Xu Yi pushed him back into the house.
"The Queen Mother protects him, and you protect him too!" Zou Heng said coldly.
Xu Yi chuckled, "Brother Zou, don't be so harsh on young people! Zhang Liang may have a stubborn temper, but he's a very kind person. If you spend more time with him, you'll definitely like him."
Although Zhang Liang was born into a noble family, he was very hardworking.
From the beginning when she was almost fainted after being exposed to the sun for several hours, to now being able to work with him from morning to night, Xu Yi saw it all.
Xu Yi really likes this intelligent young man.
"He doesn't need my like, nor does he need your like! Xu Yi, I advise you to keep your distance from him, otherwise you won't know how he killed you." Zou Heng spoke in a warning tone this time.
Seeing his serious expression, Xu Yi suppressed his smile and said sternly, "Although I don't know where Brother Zou's hostility towards him comes from, I only care about having a clear conscience. He sincerely regards me as his brother, and I also regard him as my own brother."
Zou Heng looked at Zhang Liang who was walking up behind him, his eyes still tinged with coldness, "As you wish."
He passed by Xu Yi and when he met Zhang Liang, he suddenly said, "I will keep an eye on you."
Zhang Liang lowered his eyes, "I won't implicate others."
"Ha! That's better." Zou Heng sneered and walked away.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the courtyard, "It's snowing!"
Winter comes especially early today. The first snow has already fallen in early November.
When Zhao Yuanxi came to pick someone up, he was amazed to see the snowflakes all over the sky.
“The snow fell so early this year!”
Fortunately, she had people plant the winter wheat early, and the corn seeds were dried and stored in the warehouse, waiting to be sown next year.
"Grandmother doesn't have to come today. Ziying and I can go back by ourselves." Fusu felt a little embarrassed when he saw his grandmother coming over with an umbrella.
A year later, he and Ziying were already four years old!
There are many things they should learn to do by themselves.
Zhao Yuanxi put on fluffy hats for them and said with a smile, "Are you starting to dislike me now? Wait until I can't walk anymore, then you can say that!"
She has finally raised two such adorable children, so what's wrong with taking extra care of them?
"Grandmother will never be unable to walk!" Ziying pouted, obviously not liking what his grandmother said.
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are part of everyone's life. We're not immortals, so how can we avoid aging?" Zhao Yuanxi smiled calmly. Then, as if remembering something, he said seriously, "You two, don't be like the King of Qin. If I ever find out you're seeking some elixir of immortality, watch out for your butts!"
"Isn't it good to be immortal?" Fusu tilted his head, a little confused.
"Then have you ever seen anyone truly immortal?" Zhao Yuanxi asked back.
Fusu really couldn't answer.
Ziying raised his hand, a little excited. "I know, I know. Grandmother said before that those elixirs are fake and poisonous! What those sorcerers said is also false!"
Fusu's eyes widened. "Is this true? But many ancient kings had the habit of taking elixirs!"
"So that's why! They don't live long even after taking the medicine!" Zhao Yuanxi complained.
Except for King Zhaoxiang of Qin who lived longer, the kings of Qin did not live very long.
"Then this must be told to father!" Fusu said anxiously. Although his father had not taken many elixirs yet, it was true that his father liked those sorcerers.
Little Fusu has begun to worry that one day Ying Zheng will have a change of heart and be tricked by those sorcerers into taking medicine, and his father will be poisoned to death. What if?
Zhao Yuanxi didn't intend to stop him, "Then you can write to him."
After knowing that Changping Jun was Ying Zheng, Zhao Yuanxi contacted him more frequently, but most of the time she asked Ying Zheng for money, land, and people, and he gave them according to his mood.
Zhao Yuanxi got a lot of benefits.
Fusu would always add a few words of greeting in the letters sent by Zhao Yuanxi, but Ying Zheng rarely responded.
In Zhao Yuanxi's opinion, the relationship between father and son is really ordinary.
But after all, they are father and son. When Fusu heard that Ying Zheng might be in danger, he became anxious for a rare time.
Zhao Yuanxi was quite happy to see the two of them having a good relationship. For some things, if you don't fight for them, others will. If it were just some gold, silver and treasures, it would not be a big deal for Fusu, but the king's favor could be something that could cost a person's life.
If Fusu did not fight, others would have fought for it, and it would most likely have cost him his life.
