36 Chapter 36
◎The truth was revealed.◎
The result of being woken up by himself in the middle of the night was that Fusu suffered from insomnia.
As a result of insomnia, Fusu did not wake up until noon the next day.
After asking about the time, Fusu himself couldn't help but sigh, "I can really sleep."
Fusu woke up just in time. At noon, everyone came to see him while they were free, so he met everyone while eating so as not to delay them from going back to take a nap.
The princesses and princes had never come across the new term "nap". After asking about Fusu's illness and learning that he had recovered, they asked him what a nap was. Fusu was eating and couldn't open his mouth, so Meng Hua gave them an explanation.
After hearing that their father used to take a nap when he was a child, the little ones all said that from today on, they would also take a nap every day.
After dinner, Fusu put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked curiously at Mi Qing. Mi Qing was the only one of his companions who wasn't talking. Fusu smiled at him and said, "My father told me to rest and recuperate, so I can't see you. Thank you for coming every day."
Mi Qing smiled and replied, "We already have some free time, so this trip is nothing. As long as the eldest master can recover safely, I'm glad."
"It's not a serious illness..." Fusu smiled and said impatiently, "So, you really believed me? I thought you were just trying to fool me."
Mi Qing asked in confusion, "What do you mean by perfunctory? Young Master, what are you talking about?"
Fusu smiled and said, "That day I told you that my father was the best man in the world, and you thought so too, right?"
Otherwise, how could they dare to come every day to ask about Fusu's condition? It was simply because they thought the king would not vent his anger on them because of such a small matter.
Mi Qing laughed: "Of course, Your Majesty is wise and intelligent, and has a broad mind. Our views are the same as yours."
Fusu nodded proudly: "Yes!"
Most of the time, Fusu would make people ignore his age, but he was always so cute when talking about his father, just like every five or six-year-old child, who was full of admiration for his father and thought that his father was the most powerful person in the world.
Many children will one day realize that their fathers are not that powerful, but Fusu is different.
Mi Qing lowered her eyes. The eldest son's father would only become more powerful.
Seeing that it was getting late, Fusu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
After asking everyone about their studies and daily lives, and knowing that everyone was doing their homework and that no accidents had occurred, Fusu said, "Alright! Go back and take a nap. You still have classes in the afternoon when you wake up!"
Everyone stood up and walked out together.
Ying Gao asked, "Brother, will you come over to watch us in class this afternoon?"
Fusu said apologetically, "I have other things to do this afternoon. I'll go there tomorrow."
When the little ones heard this, they immediately said in unison, "Brother, you must come!"
"Brother, I brought you some snacks!"
"Brother, I wrote a very good calligraphy!"
"Brother, I learned a set of punches!"
Fusu agreed to all of them and praised them from time to time.
As they were about to reach the door, Meng Hua hurried over and asked, "Young Master, when are you moving back?"
Fusu replied, "Maybe in a few days. I'm not sure."
Meng Hua pouted, but he also knew that Fusu had no say in this matter and could only obey the king's orders.
Fusu patted his arm and said with a smile, "Although I can't move back home for the time being, I'm well now. If there's nothing else to do, I'll naturally go back and start attending classes with you guys."
Hearing that Fusu could go back at any time, Meng Hua immediately became happy again.
Jiang Lu was walking beside Fusu. Seeing this, he took Fusu's arm and said, "Brother, will you come to see us first?"
Meng Hua looked at him with his bright eyes. Obviously, he also cared about the answer.
Fusu: “…”
Fusu spread his hands and said, "I'm alone and can only go one place at a time. How about you split me in half and share my belongings?"
Realizing that he had put Fusu in a difficult position, Meng Hua immediately said, "Young Master, please go to the academy first!"
Meng Hua spoke with great righteousness, which perfectly demonstrated his magnanimity!
Jiang Lu was not willing to be outdone and also said, "Big brother, go wherever you want!"
Fusu laughed out loud: "You are so considerate, thank you very much."
Fusu only sent them to the steps at the palace entrance and said, "Okay, go slowly on the way and go back."
Everyone waved to him and left, looking back every few steps.
…
What Fusu doesn’t know now is that everything that happens here is being broadcast live to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng was bored while eating, and knowing that Fusu was going to meet many people today, he asked the eunuch serving Fusu to listen to the message and relay it to other eunuchs, who then sent it to his table.
Thanks to Qin Fa, all the monks were on high alert and no one dared to say a wrong word, so no joke was made.
Ying Zheng originally planned to spend his time listening to children's talk, but he unexpectedly got an unexpected gain.
So, Fusu, who was invited over, heard his father say, "Is it because I take a nap every day that I grow taller?"
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, who was frozen in place, with great interest, and said with a smile, "Fusu, how come I didn't know about this?"
Fusu: “…”
"Father, how could you eavesdrop on our conversation?" Fusu took the initiative.
Ying Zheng smiled leisurely and said, "They are serving you right beside you. First, they are not deaf, and second, they have not blocked their ears. It seems difficult for them not to hear what you are saying."
Fusu said: "..."
It is certainly not good to eavesdrop yourself, but is it right to instruct others to eavesdrop?
However, Ying Zheng did not think he was wrong. He calmly asked again, "Did I take a nap every day when I was young, Fusu?"
Fusu thought for a moment and replied, "I hope that when my father was young, he could have a peaceful nap every day."
Ying Zheng was stunned. He succeeded to the throne at a young age and was busy learning how to be a King of Qin and getting rid of the shackles. He worked hard every day and really had no time to take a peaceful nap.
Ying Zheng raised his hand and nodded at Fusu, saying with a smile: "I will forgive you this time, but if it happens again, I will punish you by not allowing you to eat snacks anymore."
Fusu cooperated and begged for mercy: "Father, I will never dare to do it again."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and smiled, "Since napping is so good, go back and rest. I still need to see Li Si."
Fusu didn't move. He clung to his father's arm and said, "Father, naps really are helpful. Why don't you take a rest for a quarter of an hour too?"
"I don't have the time for this..." Ying Zheng pulled his hand away, "Stop making trouble, I'm busy."
Fusu insisted, "It really works, Father. I'm not lying to you. Just try it and you'll know. It won't take much time!"
Ying Zheng saw that the matter that Li Si had to deal with was indeed not very important, and he was indeed a little sleepy because he had just finished his meal. If he became confused and made an incorrect decision because of this, it would be really not good.
Moreover, seeing Fusu was so persistent, he just went along with it: "I can't beat you, okay, father will go lie down for a while."
As Ying Zheng went into the inner room, he ordered someone to notify Li Si and ask him to come back in two quarters of an hour.
Fu Su woke up too late, so he could skip his nap today. He followed him and said, "Father, if you can't sleep, I can sing for you."
Ying Zheng, who was being helped to take off his complicated clothes, glanced at Fusu when he heard this and said, "You have delayed me for so many things."
Ying Zheng liked the beauties and music of the Zheng and Wei countries, so he kept many beauties and musicians from Zheng and Wei in the Qin Palace.
Usually before going to bed at night, he would send people over to listen to music and watch dances to relax, and then he would summon the concubines in the harem to sleep with him.
But now because Fusu was in his palace, Ying Zheng did not want his eldest son to listen to these decadent music too early, so he had to reluctantly give up and suspend his daily relaxation time.
Although his bedroom could not have only one room, the noise was so loud that it would inevitably alarm Fusu. For the sake of his eldest son, Ying Zheng had to put himself in a difficult position.
Fusu was completely unaware of this. He thought his father was talking about taking a nap, so he said, "Father, take a nap. You will be more energetic in the afternoon and it won't delay your work."
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Okay, go ahead."
Fusu had no choice but to retreat, but he was very puzzled as to why his father started to dislike him again?
Fortunately, he was just disgusted and not angry, so Fusu was not worried.
But Fusu did not leave obediently. He sat down in the outer room and carefully drew the pattern of the crossbow cart with Ying Zheng's pen and paper.
By the time Fusu put down the last stroke, Ying Zheng had already woken up in the inner room.
After washing up and changing clothes, Ying Zheng came over and patted Fusu's head in appreciation: "It's really good to get some sleep. Later...what did you draw?"
Fusu held up the paper and said, "It's a crossbow cart. Father, take a look..."
Ying Zheng took the paper, nodded as he read it, and when he finished reading the last word, his eyes were full of smiles.
"This is a sharp weapon!" Ying Zheng said with a smile, "It's too late to attack Zhao this time, but it will definitely be useful next year."
"Is this what you have been thinking about recently?" Ying Zheng asked Fusu again.
Fusu smiled and said, "Having such a sharp weapon makes me a little anxious."
Ying Zheng said: "A sharp weapon is good, but your health is more important."
"I know!" Fusu raised his head and smiled, "Father, I won't do it again just to have a snack!"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "How come my eldest son has become a greedy brat again?"
Before the father and son could continue their laughter and jokes, a eunuch came over and said, "Your Majesty, Li Tingwei requests an audience."
Ying Zheng nodded, and the eunuch left to invite Li Si.
Fusu stood up and said, "Father is busy, I'll go back..."
"Sit down." Ying Zheng said.
Fusu paused and said, "Father, you handle government affairs. I will be a hindrance to you here."
Ying Zheng raised his hand to straighten Fusu's clothes and hair. Seeing that they were neat and tidy, he said, "How much space can you take up? It won't be a problem."
That’s not what I meant…
Fusu had no choice but to stay with his father, and then he saw the change in Li Si's expression as expected.
Ying Zheng never had concubines accompany him when he summoned ministers, and he would never handle government affairs while taking care of children. It was only natural that Li Si was shocked.
