The love of Daqin

Chapter 13; Book as Princess

The world is connected by the city and the road. If you have power, I will follow you; if you have no power, you will go. This is the principle.

——Historical Records

Zhang Yi spoke boldly and impassively. He said: The world is connected by the city and the road. If you have power, I will follow you; if you have no power, go away.

It means that he came for power and money, and for the Qin State to give him a high-ranking official title.

As the winning concubine of the King of Qin, Zhang Yi was only given the status of a guest minister, allowing him to go to court.

Zhang Yi's expression expressed dissatisfaction, Gongsun Yan said; "Why don't you give up my position to Zhang Zi."

Zhang Yi looked at his fellow countryman Gongsun Yan, who was so prosperous in Qin country, and envied very much in his heart, but said, "How can it be done, then the guest can be the guest." Everyone laughed again.

Ying Si said; "Shang Yang started his career in Qin when he entered Qin, so don't dislike him, sir."

On the other side, in the Palace of the King of Chu, Mi Xiaoya entered the palace to reunite with Zheng Xiu.

At this time, Zheng Xiu was already the favored concubine of the King of Chu, and she was dressed in splendor and was very bright.

Mi Xiaoya looked at the palace where Zheng Xiu lived. Even the walls were carved with frescoes, the screens and floors were extremely luxurious, and there were a lot of incense and jewelry and antiques from the palace.It made her dazzled, which showed that the King of Chu was fond of Zheng Xiu.

Mi Xiaoya asks Zheng Xiu how to stand out?Become the favorite concubine of the King of Chu.

Zheng Xiu said: "Men, especially men who are kings, must worship him, praise him, and praise him for everything."

Mi Xiaoya told Zheng Xiu; Zhang Yi said that the official and the prime minister would come to pick up her business.

Zheng Xiu said, "It's a pity that the state of Chu has Yin Zhaoyang under the control, and it's hard to tolerate scholars from other countries, otherwise I can ask him for an official position in the state of Chu."

Later, when Zheng Xiu and Mi Xiaoya were hanging out in the palace, they happened to meet the King of Chu.Mi Xiaoya naturally asked about the smell of sweat.

The King of Chu was a few steps away and shouted affectionately, "Concubine Ai has a guest."

Zheng Xiu kindly pulled Mi Xiaoya over and introduced to the King of Chu, "This is the good sister before the concubine entered the palace."

Mi Xiaoya bowed to the King of Chu and raised her head to meet the gaze cast by the King of Chu.

The King of Chu stared at Mi Xiaoya fascinatedly, and was extremely amazed, thinking to himself; there are people in Chu who are even more beautiful than Zheng Xiu.

The King of Chu said for a while; "The girl is so beautiful, why don't you stay in the Chu Palace and serve the widow together with the concubine?"

Mi Xiaoya was shocked. She didn't expect that the King of Chu was overweight, lustful, and had body odor. How could Zheng Xiu'er endure this?

"Reporting to the king, the people's daughter has already betrothed to someone else, and the king is not bothered." Mi Xiaoya quickly refused.

"There's no reason for this," the King of Chu said angrily when he saw that Mi Xiaoya didn't give him face.

Zheng Xiu'er smiled softly and said, "Does the king really want to keep both of our sisters in the Chu Palace? The king should not be too greedy, so as not to hurt the feelings between our sisters."

The King of Chu's expression softened, and he looked at Zheng Xiu'er with a smile; "Concubine Ai is right, the banquet will be enjoyed with the widow."

Then he continued to cast his eyes on Mi Xiaoya, and said, "What's your name?"

"Report to the king, my name is Mi Xiaoya." Mi Xiaoya looked at the king of Chu and said clearly.

I saw that the King of Chu was stunned, and continued to ask Mi Xiaoya's father and grandfather's name, and then he suddenly knew.The one in front of him is also more or less blood related to him.

It's no wonder that when I see Mi Xiaoya, my heart is pounding, and a strange feeling arises spontaneously. It turns out that she is the daughter of the royal family surnamed Mi.Then the King of Chu came into Mi Xiaoya and asked her how she had lived these years, and he was very concerned.

Mi Xiaoya was not used to it. Being so close to the King of Chu, Zheng Xiu'er was also very unhappy about the behavior of the King of Chu towards Mi Xiaoya.

But this time, the King of Chu canonized Mi Xiaoya as a princess and insisted on keeping her in the Chu Palace to make up for the suffering she had suffered over the years.
