After dinner, only Ying Zheng and Meng Yi were left in the study.
"Meng Qing, how long can we keep this secret from that girl?" Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with smiles. He didn't plan to keep it a secret for long. Once a date was chosen, he would take her back to the palace.
He had already had someone clean up the palace for her to live in. He also sent someone back to Jingshui Pavilion to take some time to find out more, and planned to decorate the palace according to his daughter's preferences.
"The little princess is very smart. I'm afraid she can't keep it a secret for long. Besides, this is Xianyang. Accidents can happen at any time." Meng Yi replied helplessly.
"That's right, let's keep it a secret from her and give her a surprise."
Bringing so many people to Xianyang, Zhao Qingrui called Zhou Shen and Yuan Shenbai over.
Zhou Shen is good at arithmetic. Even Zhao Wen thinks he is very talented because he has never made any mistakes in his calculations.
Yuan Shenbai is good at socializing and was taught by Zhao Wen himself. Zhao Qingrui naturally trusts Zhao Wen's judgment.
"I plan to stay in Xianyang for a longer time. I want you to find a way to enter the court." Zhao Qingrui looked at the two of them. They were the most capable people she brought with her. She hoped that they could bring greater value.
She didn't have anyone she was familiar with in the court, and she hoped that when the Qin Dynasty really fell into chaos, she would have someone she could use to take control of the situation as soon as possible.
These two people can be said to have grown up with her since childhood and were raised by the Zhao family. She doesn't have to worry about them betraying her.
"Don't worry, miss. I will definitely live up to your trust." Yuan Shenbai said respectfully.
"I am willing to do so."
As Zhao Qingrui's few confidants, the two knew about the arrangements Zhao Qingrui had made over the years. Chu Yan and others were sent to the military camp.
Those who were not good at fighting were left behind.
Now, the lady is finally going to assign them tasks.
She had confidence in the abilities of these two people, otherwise she would not have brought them to Xianyang.
"I don't ask much of you. Just do your best to climb up the ladder, and also, win over..."
"Don't worry, miss." The two responded respectfully.
Zhao Qingrui arranged the other guards in this yard.
The small yard seemed to be filled up all of a sudden, and it was not as deserted as before.
After arriving in Xianyang, Dough adapted faster than Zhao Qingrui expected.
Ying Zheng was riding in a carriage heading towards Xianyang Palace early in the morning, and the kitten jumped onto his carriage at some point.
A man and a cat staring at each other in the carriage was so funny.
Meng Yi was also a little dumbfounded. They were about to enter the palace when the cat suddenly jumped down from the roof of the car and landed on Ying Zheng's legs. It rubbed its soft body against his legs twice and looked at him coldly, as if to say, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and stroke my fur."
"Your Majesty, I will immediately send someone to send the dough back to the little princess." Meng Yi said as he prepared to take the cat away.
Dough nimbly jumped onto Ying Zheng's shoulder and looked down at Meng Yi.
"Forget it. Send someone back to tell Qingrui that if it wants to follow, then let it follow." Ying Zheng picked up the kitten.
The kitten is well taken care of, with smooth fur that feels very comfortable to touch. No wonder my daughter likes to hold it.
"Meow." The kitten rubbed Ying Zheng's hand with its head.
Ying Zheng smiled and looked at the kitten, suddenly thinking of his daughter. The girl used to be so naughty, but she was very well-behaved in front of him.
At today's court meeting, the court officials kept looking at His Majesty unconsciously. A certain daring kitten was walking lazily on the table with cat steps, then suddenly jumped onto Ying Zheng's shoulder, and then jumped from the left shoulder to the right shoulder.
I've never heard that Your Majesty has this hobby. He even brought a cat to the court meeting.
Fusu also took a few quiet glances. His father had not returned home at night again, and now he had brought back a cat.
Ying Zheng looked calm and didn't pay much attention to the dough. The kitten just wandered in front of him and didn't run around, so he just let it play.
As for the strange looks from the people below, Ying Zheng ignored them.
When Zhao Qingrui heard the guard report that the kitten had run away with its father, he didn't pay much attention to it, as long as it didn't run around and get lost.
After knowing that Zhao Qingrui had returned, the Wang Yuan brothers came again, this time with a little girl named Wang Xian, who was their cousin.
"Hello, Miss Zhao." Wang Xian nodded.
"Miss Wang, you're welcome."
"Sister Zhao, you don't have many friends in Xianyang. Look, I brought my cousin to play with you." Wang Wei said proudly.
Wang Xian smiled awkwardly at Zhao Qingrui. Who was the real relative? This damned boy always had his elbows bent outward.
During this period, this kid kept talking about how great his sister Zhao was every day, and his ears were callused from hearing it.
She was curious about Zhao Qingrui, so she came as soon as Wang Wei invited her.
"Thank you so much." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
Wang Xian looked about the same age as her. He was wearing simple riding clothes, with handsome features and a heroic air.
"You're welcome. Just give me some more dried fish." Little Wang Wei said seriously.
The dried fish he brought home were all confiscated by his grandfather and he didn't eat any of them. During the few days that Zhao Qingrui was away, he felt that life was extremely difficult and he was looking forward to Zhao Qingrui's quick return every day.
"We're out of dried fish, so I brought some pork jerky." Zhao Qingrui smiled and invited Wang Xian and the others to go into the yard.
Wang Xian looked at Zhao Qingrui calmly. Her two cousins had been talking about this girl all the time during this period, and she was worried that her two silly brothers had been deceived.
Following Zhao Qingrui, I came to the yard, which had been renovated by Zhao Qingrui and planted with many flowers and plants.
"Please sit down. The house is a bit simple." Zhao Qingrui invited them to sit down.
"This is still very simple. I'm afraid there are not many families in Xianyang that can compare with it." Wang Xian smiled. The girl in front of her had a clear and upright look, which gave her a good impression.
The Meng family's house is close to the center of Xianyang. It has a good location and the house is spacious. The Meng family is not short of money, so the layout of the house is naturally not bad.
She grew up in Xianyang, so she naturally knows the situation here better.
Would the Meng family actually sell such a nice house? It was really unbelievable.
She remembered that her good sister Meng Yu seemed to have said that this house was the dowry left to her by her father.
Wang Xian looked at Zhao Qingrui with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. When she returned, she went to ask Meng Yu.
Chunxi brought up snacks and tea. These days, snacks and tofu have become popular in Xianyang. The prices are not expensive, and many people go to buy them.
Wang Xian had naturally eaten it and liked it very much.
"I heard that Miss Zhao just came to Xianyang. Today, Miss Zhao and I hit it off right away. There are many fun things to do in Xianyang. I will take Miss Zhao out to play next time." He picked up a piece of pork jerky and tasted it. The taste was better than he had imagined. No wonder the two silly brothers kept thinking about it.
