After smiling for a while, Chu Yuening looked at the affectionate mother and son, and suddenly felt emotional.
Everyone in the world cares about face. Meng Tian is a general and is deeply favored by the emperor. Who among the officials in the court does not respect him?
Faced with everyone's strange looks, he did not stop his mother. Instead, he looked calm and composed, without a trace of embarrassment or discomfort.
Such a pure heart is rare.
She put away her smile, showed appreciation on her face, then looked at the calm man and asked worriedly.
"A Zheng, do you think it would be inappropriate to continue calling Zhao Zhao by his nickname when he grows up?"
"No, he will only be happy to have his mother loving him."
Ying Zheng put his arm around his wife's thin shoulders and comforted her softly, his expression very determined.
With the little boy's clingy nature, he just wants his mother to be with him every day and call him by his nickname.
This sentence made Chu Yue smile, and she stopped worrying about it. Instead, she moved closer to the man and whispered in his ear.
"A Zheng, I think this Madam Meng is a wonderful person."
"He has a clear vision, handles things tactfully, and has a straightforward and sincere personality. It's a delight to be around him."
"Oh? Yue Ning is full of praise..."
"Could it be that you want to recruit him?"
Ying Zheng lowered his eyes to meet her beautiful eyes as bright as stars, and accurately guessed her little thoughts.
In addition to the fact that the two of them have a tacit understanding, this is not the first time Yue Ning has done this.
Not to mention the female students in the academy, all the female officials in the palace were highly valued by her.
"Hey, make the best use of everything and everyone."
Chu Yuening smiled playfully, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and continued to talk.
"Besides, isn't it a pity for a talented and capable woman to be trapped in the harem?"
"If everyone can display their strengths, they can not only realize their own life values, but also make a contribution to the construction of Daqin."
"Well, Yue Ning is absolutely right."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, caressing her little face with his warm fingertips, tenderness hidden in his deep almond-shaped eyes.
As the king of a country, for him, no matter whether they are men or women, as long as they can create value, they are all citizens of the Qin Dynasty.
However, the world is not as tolerant to women as it is to men. Yue Ning is kind-hearted and wants to help women, so he will fully support her.
After half a round of drinking, Chu Yuening could no longer sit still. She pulled the man's sleeve and whispered something.
"A Zheng, I'm so bored. I'll just have a toast and then go back to the palace."
Ying Zheng understood, but did not nod in agreement immediately. Instead, he ordered the palace servants to bring more honey water and pour it for her.
Chu Yuening felt the warmth at her fingertips, and a hint of sweetness rose in her heart. Her eyebrows and eyes were filled with happiness, which was carefully watered by love.
However, she did not forget her business. After tidying up her appearance, she stood up slowly, picked up the wine cup, and looked around at the civil and military officials.
Seeing that the queen looked serious and seemed to have something to say, everyone hurriedly stopped drinking and chatting, sat up straight, and listened quietly.
"For many years, the Xiongnu have harassed our Great Qin, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of atrocities. The people living on the border have suffered greatly from them."
"Now that our Great Qin is peaceful and prosperous, and our military is strong, we must completely eradicate the Xiongnu."
"Whoever offends the Great Qin will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
The woman spoke in a sonorous voice. Her seemingly fragile body contained a powerful strength that could shock people.
Everyone present stared up at the queen in amazement. The bright yellow candlelight shone on her face. Her eyes were firm and resolute, and her tone was passionate and inspiring.
In an instant, a feeling of admiration arose in their hearts.
A few moments later, deafening shouts resounded through the clouds.
"Whoever offends the Great Qin will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
"Whoever offends the Great Qin will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"
“…”
At the banquet, everyone's face was flushed, their blood was boiling, and their eyes were full of loyalty and fanaticism for the empire.
Chu Yuening nodded with satisfaction, then raised her wine cup to General Silver Armor and congratulated loudly.
"Tonight is the swearing-in banquet. I wish General Meng a successful start and a swift return with great triumph!"
"I will annihilate the Xiongnu without a single survivor, and live up to your Majesty's expectations!"
Meng Tian stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, his face solemn, and made a solemn promise. Then he picked up the full wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"General Meng is so heroic!"
"General Meng is so brave and powerful that he can easily defeat the Xiongnu."
"Hahaha, I'm waiting for news of victory at the border in the capital."
The ministers cheered and complimented each other, and the atmosphere became more harmonious as they drank and chatted.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Yuening planned to leave and return to Qinian Palace, but she did not forget to give her husband some instructions.
"A Zheng, please drink less alcohol later."
"Okay, don't worry, Yue Ning."
Ying Zheng kissed the side of his young wife's face, his voice a little hoarse from drinking.
It was still early and the oath-taking banquet was important. As a monarch, he naturally wanted to enjoy it with his subjects and boost morale, so it was not appropriate to leave too early.
After the ministers respectfully sent the Queen off, they continued to drink and have fun, enjoying the delicacies. As they drank cup after cup of wine, the atmosphere was very lively.
On the other side, Chu Yuening returned to the bedroom. She sniffed the messy smell on her body, frowned, and immediately ordered someone to prepare hot water, intending to take a bath and change clothes.
After taking a comfortable bath, she leaned lazily on the soft sofa, enjoying the attentive service of the palace maid.
The crescent moon outside the window slowly hid in the clouds, and finally only a hazy shadow of the moon remained.
"A Zheng, you're back?"
There were hurried and familiar footsteps outside the hall. Chu Yuening looked up in surprise and exclaimed.
"Hmm...Yuening, Yuening..."
The tall man strode closer, murmuring to his beloved, and occasionally waving his sleeves as if trying to drive away an annoying fly.
(Zhao Gao: Then I leave?)
Chu Yuening showed a worried look on her face and hurried forward. She hugged the strong body and patted his back gently to comfort him.
"A Zheng, I'm here."
"Well... my little moon, I found it..."
Ying Zheng was half drunk and half awake, his consciousness was clear, but his body followed the instincts deep in his heart.
He hugged the warm and soft girl tightly in his arms, buried his head in her neck, greedily absorbing the fragrance that fascinated him.
Chu Yuening, who was suddenly suspended in the air, smiled helplessly. She stared at a big cat sniffing around, feeling like she had turned into catnip.
"Yeah, I know. Let's sit on the sofa first, okay?"
She spoke softly, as if coaxing a naughty child.
Ying Zheng raised his head reluctantly, but did not let go. Instead, he picked up the woman and sat on the sofa.
Feeling the strong restraint around her waist, Chu Yuening gave up the idea of struggling and had to call the palace maid to prepare sobering soup.
She was not idle either. She took off the man's crown and held up his handsome face with both hands to check his condition.
His handsome face was covered with a light blush, his phoenix eyes were clear and watery, with shimmering light, and his former sharpness and coldness faded, making him look more exquisite and perfect.
He has clear outlines, deep facial features, and an air of dignity and majesty surrounding him. His expression is proud and unrestrained, and he looks like a person from a noble family.
For a moment, Chu Yuening was a little dazed and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"It is as solid as gold and as smooth as jade, as strong as crane bones and as strong as dragon tendons. Nothing could be better than this."
