Sure enough, the stable bed was much more comfortable than a moving carriage.
The next day, Zhao Jun, who had eaten and slept well, got up and stretched.
She walked out of her room and came to the railing outside.
The morning light rises again, and crowds of people flock to the streets.
Ganquan Palace was very high. When she stood there and looked out, she could see the towering shadow of Xianyang Palace in the distance.
Closer up are the cultivated lands and a group of people standing not far away.
"What are you standing here looking at?"
The low voice coming from behind startled Zhao Jun. She knew it was Ying Zheng without turning around.
Zhao Jun patted his chest, put on a fake smile and turned around.
"Good morning, my king. Why are you here alone?"
Why was Ying Zheng not staying in his room early in the morning and wandering around?
"My room is upstairs. I was planning to go downstairs when I saw you. What are you looking at?"
Ying Zheng walked up to her from the wooden stairs at the corner.
"I didn't watch anything. I just woke up to breathe some fresh air, look at the morning sun, and reflect on life."
Zhao Jun laughed and joked.
She felt much more relaxed after calming down, and saw that Ying Zheng was no different from before.
He can barely be considered a boss who treats his subordinates well.
"You still have a life to reflect on. You're a fairy, aren't you?"
Could Ying Zheng actually joke?
Zhao Jun looked at him in shock!
She said this subconsciously as a joke in her panic when she first arrived.
She didn't expect that Ying Zheng would use these words to tease her.
Is this guy so good now?
Zhao Jun turned his head and coughed twice.
"Ahem, who says fairies can't feel the emotions of life? How do you know if fairies also have many troubles?"
The two of them stood side by side, gazing into the distance.
"Oh, do gods also have worries? What worries can they have if they can live forever?"
Ying Zheng asked.
Zhao Jun was speechless.
Sure enough, this person is still thinking about immortality.
"Well, immortals are also transformed from humans. Although their lifespans have increased, as long as their emotions and desires remain, they will still have troubles."
"For example, you're not an immortal now, so you think you'll have no worries if you just live forever. But if one day you achieve immortality, will you have new worries? Will you want to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning again?"
“As long as desires do not disappear, troubles will not disappear either.”
Zhao Jun spoke quietly. She was not saying that those who had desires were bad, but once they had desires, the pursuit would not stop.
Just like now, just like the Warring States Period, just like Ying Zheng.
"You're right, desires never cease, troubles never cease."
"I now wish to unify all the vassal states, later to occupy the lands beyond the Great Wall, and finally to rule the world. I want the name of the Great Qin written on every inch of land."
"If I want to live forever and become a god, I must become the most powerful god."
"For me, it's never about stopping. I enjoy the thrill of the chase."
He calmly expressed his ambition, his eyes still looking into the distance.
Through the towering palace building in the distance, one can see the confidence and determination in front of one's eyes.
Zhao Jun turned his head and looked at him. He was not surprised that he would say such a thing.
Ying Zheng's ambition is written on every page of history I have ever studied about him.
"What about you? What do you want now?"
Ying Zheng spoke, glancing at her.
She didn't seem to care about anything, and until now she had never really sought anything for herself.
"Haha, me."
Zhao Jun thought for a moment.
"I have obtained the official position I wanted."
Zhao Jun said jokingly.
"Official position, this position has not brought you much benefit."
"Well, didn't you say I was a fairy? Then what I want most should be peace in the world."
"Would that make me seem a bit whimsical?"
Zhao Jun chuckled, as if laughing at himself.
"Well, although this official position hasn't brought me much, it allows me to do what I want to do."
"What I want to do is to change the backward production so that most people will not starve to death, so that all children can receive an education, and so that the eyes of suffering will be far away from us."
"I also want to change unequal treatment so that women can have the same rights as men."
"You say the position I've obtained is useless, but the truth is that without it, nothing I want to do can be accomplished."
There was one more thing Zhao Jun didn't say.
Without your support, what I want to do would just be a daydream.
"Um."
After a long time, just when the King of Zhao thought that Ying Zheng was going to give another long speech.
He just nodded and said yes.
What do you mean by "um"?
Don’t revert to your calm and dignified persona, let’s talk about this again!
There was silence for a moment, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.
"My Lord, there you are."
Fortunately, Zhao Jun didn't feel embarrassed for too long, Qingliu saved her again.
"The king is here too. I pay my respects to the king."
Qingliu hurriedly saluted.
"What's wrong."
"Oh, breakfast is ready, and it's getting late."
Zhao Jun looked back at the sun in the sky. It was indeed getting late. He had actually been talking to Ying Zheng for such a long time.
"Your Majesty, let's go have breakfast. Time is urgent. I have to leave as soon as I finish my meal."
