The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 148 Zhao Ji Summoned
Li Wu was distracted the whole day today and even smiled foolishly from time to time. Jing Wei was okay, but he didn't go to practice martial arts today and stayed with Ying Zheng the whole time.

What Ying Zheng wanted most was to have children with Jingwei. This beauty was so talented and had good genes. The children she gave birth to would all be extraordinary, with first-class talents in both civil and military affairs.

Combined with me, combined with my stronger seed, the child born will be extraordinary, with stronger and more extraordinary talents.

But Jingwei was of humble origin after all, and had no power in the previous dynasty.

If Jingwei gave birth to a firstborn son with extremely good talents, it would not be a good thing. Since ancient times, the first rafters to come out will rot first.

It is easy to dodge an open knife, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark.

As long as you are not the eldest son, you will not attract so much attention and will have the opportunity to develop in a low-key manner.

This is also the important reason why Ying Zheng did not ask for Jingwei first.

Don't let your good child get caught up in the ditch of internal strife.

It would be best if the eldest son in public is from the Chu family. In the future, it will take a big move to destroy Chu. Now we can effectively paralyze them, give them and the Chu State some hope, and the resistance will not be so strong.

To be honest, I haven't been to Zhao Ji for several days. I have to go there today, otherwise I'm afraid Zhao Ji will be very angry.

Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have a bad temper today.

Speak of Cao Cao and here comes Cao Cao. Oh, there is no Cao Cao in that era.

While Ying Zheng was still handling state affairs, a maid from Ganquan Palace came to report that the king should go to Ganquan Palace when he was free today, as the Queen Mother wanted to see him for something.

Well, Ying Zheng felt bitter. What could possibly happen to Zhao Ji? She must have some objection. He had just said a few days ago that he would spend more time with her.

As a result, the time I spent with her not only became less, but even less.

After today, I will definitely be in a bad mood.

Ying Zheng's guess was correct. As soon as he arrived at Ganquan Palace, he heard some sarcastic remarks full of resentment:

"Hey, isn't this the King of Qin who is so busy with affairs?"

"What's the wind like today? How come the king is blown here? It's such an honor."

"I wonder what business has the noble king come to visit me?"

Zhao Ji was full of resentment. She didn't get up, but just lay on the couch with a nonchalant and lazy attitude, with her back to Ying Zheng. She didn't even lift her eyelids, let alone turn to look at people.

In this world, only Zhao Ji dared to treat Ying Zheng in this way.

Ying Zheng raised an eyebrow: "Oh?! So it wasn't the Queen Mother who asked me to come here?"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "Then I will leave first. I have some important government affairs to deal with."

Having said that, he turned around and walked away.

Zhao Ji was furious: "Hmph! Go away, go away, it's best if you never come to see me again."

He said sadly, "I don't know who has no conscience to say that. He wouldn't forget his mother after losing his wife. It's only been a few days and he has completely forgotten his old mother."

Zhao Ji sighed deeply and said, "Just let me live alone for the rest of my life."

After Zhao Ji finished her show, she found that there was no movement. No, wait a minute, she couldn't turn around and look, because her rebellious son must be waiting to see her show.

After a few more breaths, there was still no movement. Zhao Ji carefully looked over and saw that there was really no one there! They had really left!

He turned around suddenly, waving his teeth in anger.

This rebellious son is really gone!

Ah! Rebellious son!

When Zhao Ji was making a fuss, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her, holding a peeled pear.

An extremely familiar voice sounded beside her ears, with a very obvious teasing tone that Zhao Ji was afraid she wouldn't hear. "Oh, this old mother is really agile and full of energy."

"You must be tired. Do you want to eat a pear to quench your thirst?"

All Zhao Ji's movements came to an abrupt stop. She was extremely embarrassed and her face turned red with shame.

She said angrily, "Didn't you leave? There's no one in the hall!"

Ying Zheng pretended to be innocent and spread his hands: "I have been here the whole time, but a certain old mother didn't see me. I'm afraid her eyesight is blurry."

Zhao Ji replied flatly: "Impossible, I looked and there was indeed no one."

"Tell me quickly, did you do anything?"

Ying Zheng also felt that it was about time, so he stopped teasing Zhao Ji and said with a smile: "I was indeed in the palace, I just used a little bit of the Five Elements Smudge. It's normal that you can't see it, just a little trick."

Zhao Ji then took the pear and said proudly, "I knew you must have played some tricks. I don't know you well enough."

Ying Zheng praised with an exaggerated expression: "Of course, my mother is very discerning. How could such a little trick be hidden from her?"

Zhao Ji smiled proudly and said, "Of course."

As she spoke, she slightly opened her teeth and took a small bite of the pear. She was a little thirsty, but it was quite sweet.

At this time, Zhao Ji had completely forgotten about blaming Ying Zheng, and she also forgot the purpose of looking for Ying Zheng.

But obviously, Ying Zheng wanted to turn the tables.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly and sighed deeply: "Mother, I am really disappointed."

Zhao Ji was very surprised. She took a bite of the pear and asked, "What's wrong with you? What are you disappointed about?"

"Of course it is you, my mother, who disappoints me."

Zhao Ji was stunned and said angrily, "Nonsense, by the way, I haven't blamed you yet. It's been a few days, why didn't you come to have dinner with me?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and sighed: "This is what makes me disappointed. Mother, do you know how busy I have been recently?"

"In a time of great strife, state affairs are busy, wars are constant and government affairs are numerous. Every day I have to deal with government affairs until the 10 o'clock in the morning, or even the 12 o'clock in the evening."

"But what about you? I've heard that you either play chuiwan or mahjong every day."

"Are you still blaming me for not coming to accompany you?! Wouldn't Queen Mother think of me and take the initiative to go to Lanchi Palace and wait for me to have dinner together?"

Ying Zheng said confidently, I don’t have time but you do, so you should come to me, not me to you.

Zhao Ji really believed what Ying Zheng complained about. She felt sorry for his tiredness and felt a little guilty. She whispered:

"I don't know either. You didn't tell mother earlier. It's my fault. Don't go back and forth anymore. I'll go find you and wait for you in the orchid pond."

He was a little dejected and didn't even eat the pear, but threw it on the table.

What Ying Zheng said was true, but not entirely true. Although it was hard work, he was not always dealing with government affairs.

Ying Zheng would take a break every hour to watch Li Wu's graceful dance and enjoy Jing Wei's massage service, not to mention the recent night-time activities.

Anyway, Ying Zheng has a high level of cultivation and his elixir can turn him into a dragon or a tiger, so sleeping doesn’t matter to him. He can meditate deeply for an hour every day and be energetic all day.

Moreover, Ying Zheng did not neglect his practice. He basically never missed the morning and evening meditation. Meditation and meditation were considered as his rest.

Of course, because of the early court session, I changed from getting up early to taking some time after the court session. Fortunately, my cultivation is now at a high level and I don’t need to follow a fixed time. I just need to work hard and it will be fine.

Seeing Zhao Ji feeling guilty, Ying Zheng felt proud in his heart. Zhao Ji was easy to control.

Try it again.
