Chapter 54 Ziying's Heart Knot
What's wrong with the child!
Zhao Yuanxi curled his lips and said, "You were the one who agreed to farm with me."
Ziying hung his head and stammered, "What if I can't farm well?"
"That doesn't matter. Grandmother is the best at farming. If I can't even teach you well, then I'm pretty useless."
"It's not that my mother is useless, it's me!" Ziying raised his head, his eyes slightly red.
Zhao Yuanxi stared at him blankly, not understanding why he could see self-loathing in his eyes.
She half squatted down and rubbed Ziying's head. "Ziying, you are not useless. You are a very smart child. You will definitely be a very powerful person when you grow up."
These were not just words Zhao Yuanxi used to comfort the child; Ziying indeed grew up to be a very talented person.
After Ying Zheng's death, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne. Ziying was one of the few people who stood up to advise Hu Hai not to kill loyal ministers and survived. Hu Hai was killed by Zhao Gao, and he became the King of Qin and finally killed Zhao Gao.
Whether he was an official or the King of Qin, he did what he could. How could he be a useless child?
Of course, history can only be used as a reference. Zhao Yuanxi used her eyes and ears to get to know Ziying, and had a clearer understanding of his intelligence.
"Don't worry about not doing something well. If you don't try, how do you know how far you can go?" Zhao Yuanxi said softly.
Ziying lowered his head, tears rolled down his cheeks, and he sobbed.
Zhao Yuanxi panicked.
You were fine just now, why are you crying?
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yuanxi carefully wiped away his tears.
Ziying threw himself into her arms, buried his head in her neck, and his tears wet her clothes.
Zhao Yuanxi hugged him gently, patted his back and asked, "So why don't you want to learn?"
Ziying was not a naughty child. Although he lacked patience and was a little too lively, these did not constitute the conditions for him to dislike studying.
Zhao Yuanxi felt that she might have overlooked something, but since Ziying didn't say it, she couldn't guess it for a while.
He cried so sadly that Fusu, who was standing next to him, could hold back his tears at first, but later he could no longer hold back and started crying with him.
......
Although both of them cried miserably, Zhao Yuanxi was really innocent at this moment.
I feel the pain of those kindergarten teachers!
What did she do? Why did the two little guys act like they were about to be separated forever?
Until Ziying was tired of crying, he got out of Zhao Yuanxi's arms embarrassedly, sniffed, and said, "Grandmother, I will listen to you and learn to farm with you."
Zhao Yuanxi didn't want to force the child to learn farming from her, she wanted to figure out what was going on in the little guy's head.
"Then answer me first, why are you unwilling to study those classics, history, and miscellaneous works?"
Ziying tugged at the edge of his clothes and said hesitantly, "Zhongfu once told me that I must not let anyone know my abilities until I'm fully grown."
Could Ji Sheng have anything to do with this?
Zhao Yuanxi's eyelids twitched. Ji Sheng was determined to support Ziying to take the throne, so he had to teach him some ways to protect himself first.
If we follow Ji Sheng's idea, choosing to keep a low profile and wait for the opportunity is indeed a way out.
In history, it was because Ziying seemed to pose no threat that Hu Hai did not touch him, and he was even later recommended by Zhao Gao to be the King of Qin.
Unfortunately, Ji Sheng is dead!
There was no need for Ziying to hide his incompetence in front of her now.
Zhao Yuanxi said, "Your uncle wanted to protect you at that time, so he asked you to do this. But now your mother can protect you. You don't need to hide yourself. You can do whatever you want and learn whatever you want."
What's more, even if Zhao Yuanxi did not appear in this world, if Ziying could demonstrate his abilities in front of Ying Zheng, she believed that Ying Zheng would not exile him from the Qin court because of his father's affairs.
Ying Zheng may be a tyrant, but he is definitely not a foolish ruler.
"Really?" Ziying murmured.
"Of course! As long as Grandmother is here, Ziying has nothing to fear."
Fusu, who was standing by, took Ziying's hand and said, "I'm here too, Ziying, don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Ziying's face flushed red, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at them. He said in a voice that was almost inaudible, "I will protect you too."
Zhao Yuanxi's eyes were filled with tenderness. She really raised two of the cutest children in the world!
"Then you must remember, no matter what happens in the future, no matter where you are, you must trust each other and support each other."
The two little guys nodded in unison, causing Zhao Yuanxi to laugh out loud, and he couldn't help but rub their heads.
She looked at Ziying and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to continue learning farming from me? If you want to learn with your elder brother, that's fine too."
Ziying scratched his hands, "Can I learn both?"
"You're quite greedy!" Zhao Yuanxi poked his forehead and reminded him with a smile, "Okay, but you'll suffer a lot."
I've experienced the hardship of studying and the hardship of farming, and it's okay to have experienced both.
Zhao Yuanxi thought of herself. Didn’t she also suffer all the hardships of studying and farming?
When I was studying, I worked day and night. After graduation, I did experiments every day and stayed in the fields, also day and night.
It turns out that as long as people are willing to endure hardships, there will be endless suffering.
Zhao Yuanxi was muttering to himself, but his expression remained calm.
Ziying frowned, his expression serious, "Then I'm not afraid either."
If Grandmother can do it, he can do it too. He wants to become as powerful as Grandmother.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "Okay! When Ziying finishes his studies, he will become the Minister of Grain, managing agriculture and sericulture throughout the country."
"What about me? What about me? Mother, what can I do?" Fusu stretched out his hand.
Zhao Yuanxi blinked. This question made her a little distressed.
Prince Fusu was trained as Ying Zheng's heir. Although no one knew what was wrong with Ying Zheng to send him here, his identity as the eldest son of the King of Qin meant that Fusu was destined to be entangled with the position of the King of Qin.
"That depends on your ability!" Zhao Yuanxi sighed.
If Fusu was capable, he could naturally become the King of Qin or even the Emperor; if he was incapable, if she were still alive at that time, she would try her best to save his life.
At least he wouldn't commit suicide as recorded in history books.
Thinking of Fusu's fate, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but frown and said to him very seriously, "Fusu, the most important thing you have to remember is that nothing is more important than your own life. If anyone wants to hurt you, you must stay alive and find a way to kill him!"
Fusu scratched his head in confusion. He was the eldest son of the King of Qin. Who would dare to hurt him?
But since the grandmother had spoken, he had to agree.
"Don't worry, mother, I am also very powerful!" Fusu patted his chest, looking very proud.
Only then did Zhao Yuanxi nod with satisfaction.
If anyone wants to hurt someone around her, she will definitely not show mercy, even if that person is the King of Qin!
