"What are they doing here?" Ying Zheng wondered. Didn't he remember his daughter trying to win over the Mohist sect? Why was she getting so close to the Gongshu sect instead?
"Miss Gongshu is the young lady's friend." The butler said seriously.
"Okay, I got it. I'll ask the people in the mansion to pay more attention later." Ying Zheng waved his hand indifferently.
In order to prevent Zhao Qingrui from discovering anything, the housekeeper came over in advance and called Zhao Qingrui over.
"Sister Gongshu, please wait a moment." Zhao Qingrui smiled apologetically at Gongshu Xue, then followed the housekeeper to see his father.
It was the first time that Dad came home for lunch, and Zhao Qingrui was very surprised.
After Zhao Qingrui left, the housekeeper went to find the two people from Gongshu's family.
"What did you say?" Gongshu Xue widened her eyes. She felt that her ears were not good and she was hallucinating.
"His Majesty will stay for lunch. Please be careful with your words. The young lady does not know His Majesty's identity." The butler said seriously.
"Miss Zhao, is she your Majesty's heir?" Gongshu Xue gasped.
"That's right."
"We understand. We won't say anything in front of Miss Zhao." Gongshu Yu responded seriously.
That was the First Emperor. Even if they had a hundred guts, they would not dare to act rashly in front of him.
Zhao Qingrui looked at his father, whose complexion seemed to be much better these days.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today? Have you settled the business matters?" Zhao Qingrui took Ying Zheng's arm and acted coquettishly.
Ying Zheng enjoyed his daughter's closeness and said with relief, "It's all settled. I heard your friend is home. I didn't expect my daughter to make friends so quickly after just arriving in Xianyang."
"Dad, I'll take you to see my friends. They're in the guest room." Zhao Qingrui happily helped his father over.
Her first impression of Gongshu Xue was quite good, and the people of Gongshu's family were her backup options, so she was very friendly towards them.
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded. He had already seen the butler coming over. He must have already talked to Gongshu Jia and the other two people, and the problem had been solved.
Although Gongshu Xue and the others were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling when they saw Ying Zheng.
The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, held a high position for a long time, and had great power. Although he tried to restrain his aura and behave like an ordinary person in front of Zhao Qingrui.
However, they could still feel endless pressure and oppression from him.
The two men bowed and didn't dare to say more.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Since we are all Qing Rui's friends, there is no need to be so reserved."
"Yes." In front of the First Emperor, Gongshu Xue no longer had the relaxation she had before. She became tense, her legs went weak, and she wanted to kneel down.
She was afraid that if she did something wrong, not only would she be in trouble, but Gongshujia would also be implicated.
"My father is a very good person, Sister Gongshu, don't be nervous." Zhao Qingrui noticed the nervousness of the Gongshu family and their partner, and felt a little puzzled.
She had met Gongshu Xue twice. Gongshu Xue was outgoing and generous. These two people did not look like timid and introverted people.
Otherwise, those people from various schools of thought wouldn't be mixing together and fighting so fiercely.
"We're not nervous, we're just a little hungry." Gongshu Xue forced a stiff smile. If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to let Zhao Qingrui stay for dinner.
"It was my negligence, Chunxi, go get some snacks." After Gongshu Xue said this, Zhao Qingrui felt a little embarrassed.
Ying Zheng looked at Gongshu Xue speechlessly. His daughter was still here, and he had already asked the housekeeper to remind them. What if he still acted like this and made his daughter suspicious?
The two men shuddered in fear at the sharp glare from His Majesty, not realizing what they had done wrong to displease His Majesty.
The snacks were brought up, and Gongshu Xue ate a little absentmindedly. His Majesty was sitting here, and his presence was too strong to be ignored.
Ying Zheng asked many questions about Gongshu's family, and Gongshu Yu answered them all.
His daughter wanted to be on good terms with Gongshu Xue, so Ying Zheng planned to have the people from the Black Ice Platform investigate Gongshu's people later to prevent any threat to his daughter's existence.
The lunch was very sumptuous. Gongshu Xue was nervous at first, but soon she forgot about her nervousness after the food arrived. The taste of the food was something she had never tasted before. It was so delicious.
If the First Emperor had not been at the dinner table, she would have been a little hesitant and wanted to ask Zhao Qingrui how these dishes were made.
There aren't many dishes in Daqin, and she had never seen the dishes here from Zhao Qingrui.
Seeing the two ignorant people of Gongshujia, Ying Zheng was secretly proud in his heart, because all these were done by his daughter.
After lunch, Gongshu Xue and the other man felt a little full.
The two men said goodbye. They felt uncomfortable being stared at by His Majesty. The oppression from His Majesty was too strong. If there was anything to say, they should wait until His Majesty was not around to discuss it.
"Take care, sister. I will visit you at Gongshu's house tomorrow." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. She could feel the restraint of Gongshu and his men since her father came back. She didn't know what they were afraid of, and they wouldn't tell her when she asked.
"Dad, Sister Gongshu and the others seem to be very afraid of you." Zhao Qingrui returned to the yard. Dad was looking through the books she had placed in the study with Uncle Meng. They were Tiangong Kaiwu and Qimin Yaoshu.
"Maybe I'm too majestic and scared them." Ying Zheng said seriously. He was also shocked at the moment. Were these two books given to his daughter by her mysterious master?
