Chapter 2: Grandfather Qin Shi Huang [Jinjiang genuine exclusive release· Unlucky relatives...
Qin Ying's face was filled with horror. Just at this moment, a team of eunuchs in black came quickly carrying a sedan chair. After Qin Ying was carried into the sedan chair by her mother, she was still staring at the surrounding palaces, trying hard to figure out whether she was in Qin or Han.
Wang Ling held her chubby son in her arms. Seeing the little guy looking around, she worriedly whispered, "What are you doing?"
"Ying, let's go to see your grandfather first. Be good and don't offend him." (Ying, we will go to see your grandfather first. Be good and don't offend him when the time comes.)
Qin Ying nodded obediently. Having realized that his grandfather was likely a powerful ancient monarch, he understood the principle that serving a monarch is like serving a tiger. Mother and son rode in a sedan chair all the way to the center of the palace complex.
A huge and majestic palace stood proudly in the open space. Below the palace were thousands of steps. Seeing the tall and heroic soldiers wearing black armor and holding sharp spears standing on both sides of the steps, Qin Ying, who was being held by her wet nurse and following her mother carefully up the thousand steps, suddenly felt a sense of solemnity and awe in her heart.
The temperature in early summer gradually rose, and the golden sunlight became a little dazzling. After climbing about a hundred steps, there were several tall stone pillars standing on both sides of the steps, with tall black flags flying on the stone pillars. Qin Ying tried to look up with squinted eyes, and faintly saw wave-like water patterns and black birds that looked like swallows on the black flags that were shaking in the breeze.
[Water ripples? Black bird? Water ripples and black bird!]
Qin Ying, realizing what the pattern on the flag meant, immediately stood up straight, holding onto the wet nurse's shoulders.
Chun, who was holding the little boy, felt the little boy's sudden surprise and astonishment. He looked down at the baby in his arms in confusion. Worried that the little boy would fall, he hugged him tighter.
Little did he know that at this moment, Qin Ying's heart was filled with huge waves!
The only dynasties that believed in Xuanniao were the Shang Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. He knew very well that the current environment was much more developed than that of the Shang Dynasty, so the only explanation was that he was in the dynasty ruled by the Qin Dynasty!
But the Qin Dynasty was also divided into the "Qin State" before unification and the "Great Qin Empire" after unification!
Just by looking at the surrounding palace complex, he still couldn't be sure which monarch with the surname Ying lived in this solemn and majestic palace in front of him.
When he was finally carried by his wet nurse onto the spacious platform at the entrance of the palace, Qin Ying tried hard to look up to see whether the plaque hanging above the palace was written with "Da Zhuan" or "Xiao Zhuan". Unfortunately, the plaque was hung too high and the light above his head was too dazzling. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a tall young man in black with a gentle smile, dressed like a eunuch but not quite like a eunuch, step over the threshold, quickly come out from the inside, and walk towards him and his mother.
Seeing the eldest son's wife and son, the young man stepped forward with a smile and bowed, saying:
"Greetings to the eldest lady, **is waiting for you and the young master*, ###@come on." (Greetings to the eldest lady, His Majesty is waiting for you and the young master inside, please come in quickly.)
Wang Ling knew that the man in front of her was the one who had just passed the extremely difficult county-level examination with first place in the spring and successfully entered the Zhangtai Palace to work as a "Shangshu Zushi". Because of his dazzling first-place result in this year's examination, and his background as a member of the Zhao royal family and who had fought his way out of the hidden palace, this extremely inspiring experience had been briefly spread among the nobles in the royal city for two days. She had also heard about it and had seen him in the palace before, but when they met again, she had forgotten the young man's name and only knew that his surname was "Zhao".
Qin Ying's focus shifted. Hearing the young man in front of him addressing his mother as "Madam Chang", he couldn't help but blink his almond-shaped eyes. It turned out that his father was the eldest son of his great-uncle!
Looking at the history of the Qin State, the most famous eldest prince is none other than Prince Fusu, who committed suicide by drawing his sword. However, for Qin Ying, who loved the history of the pre-Qin period in his previous life, he not only knew Fusu, but also knew who the eldest sons of Qin Xiaogong, Qin Huiwenwang, Qin Zhaoxiangwang, Qin Xiaowenwang, and Qin Zhuangxiangwang were. Sometimes, knowing too much and having a wide range of choices makes it even more difficult to decide on the candidate.
Qin Ying, who was frowning and thinking, saw her mother bending down and having her silk shoes embroidered with gold thread taken off by the wet nurse. The two small shoes embroidered with tiger head patterns on her feet were also taken off by the wet nurse.
Then he looked at his mother who seemed to be under great psychological pressure. He took a deep breath, turned around, took him from the arms of wet nurse Chun, lowered his head slightly, held him in his arms with a solemn expression, lifted his legs and stepped over the palace threshold and walked slowly inside.
Seeing his mother suddenly become nervous and serious, he inexplicably clenched his two tender little fists nervously. Was his great-grandfather really that scary? Could his great-grandfather be the Zhaoxiang Great Devil with a colorful reputation, a bad temper, and an extremely long standing for fifty-six years?
If it was really Yingji, then wouldn't his father be the unfortunate Prince Dao? Would he be sent to Wei as a hostage in the future and die there early?
Qin Ying was thinking in a mess, and his heart suddenly became a little heavy. When he was carried by his mother into the outer hall, the light inside the palace suddenly became much dimmer than outside. Looking at the huge and heavy wooden pillars in the hall, there was a faint smell of decay, and it seemed that they had gone through a hundred years. On the smooth waxed wooden floor, there were many tree-shaped gold lamp stands arranged in an orderly manner, and dozens of small oil lamps were placed on the lamp stands.
Qin Ying observed carefully in his mother's arms. When he was carried to the inner hall by his mother, a huge map screen came into view. The inner hall was also equipped with several auspicious gold lamp stands like the outer hall, but the outer hall was equipped with oil lamps, while the inner hall's lamp stands were equipped with candles as thick as a child's wrist. The light was much brighter than that in the outer hall.
The temperature outside is still a little hotter in early summer, but the inner hall is cool and shady.
Qin Ying was looking at the pattern on the map with the help of candlelight when she saw her mother's footsteps sway, and then her vision suddenly became wider.
On a three-step staircase about one meter high, rolls of bamboo slips were neatly stacked on a wide black lacquered table. A tall man was kneeling beside the table, holding a brush and writing something with his head down.
"My daughter-in-law, Ying, come in and pay your respects to me." (Daughter-in-law Wang Ling, following orders, brought her eldest grandson Ying to the palace to pay her respects to her father.)
When the man heard the sound, he raised his head holding the brush.
Qin Ying, who was in her mother's arms, also looked into his eyes with curiosity. Seeing his stern and handsome face and the hilt of the bronze sword that was higher than the lacquer table and exposed at his waist, Qin Ying was shocked. Her pair of phoenix eyes, which were very similar to his, seemed to be filled with little stars and lit up inch by inch!
He stared at the tall middle-aged man on the high level without blinking. He saw a man wearing a Tongtian crown, black clothes, and a bronze sword on his waist. He stood up slowly from his seat. He was nearly two meters tall and had a sword that was estimated to be 1.6 meters long. He had dragon eyebrows and phoenix eyes, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was intimidating without even being angry, and had an unfathomable aura!
The other party was clearly walking down the stairs, but Qin Ying felt as if three sharp arrows were flying straight towards him in the air, piercing his heart at once, and the arrow feathers were still trembling.
This height! This outfit! This look!
Qin Ying wanted to control himself, but he couldn't control his body at all. His two little hands began to wave uncontrollably. He looked up at his mother with sparkling eyes, and cried out in a baby voice, excited and a little overwhelmed.
Oh my god! Mother, why didn’t you tell me that my grandfather was the greatest emperor of all time—Qin Shi Huang! ! ! !
[Then isn't my unfortunate biological father the eldest prince Fusu?!]
