The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 157 Yan Dan Yan Fei Fei Yan
Ying Zheng's words made Yan Dan's eyes warm, and Yan Dan quickly lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has been fine in recent years. After returning to Yan State, he was named the prince, and everything is fine."

Yan Dan remained strong and maintained his dignity in front of Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng smiled lightly and did not dwell on this topic:

"Dan, don't blame me. You know your father and what he has done. If the alliance between the two countries does not have a hostage, Daqin will not be able to rest assured."

"I originally just wanted Yan to send a random royal family member, but I didn't expect your father to send you directly."

"We have known each other since childhood. You are my only good friend in Zhao. Don't worry when you arrive in Qin. I will do my best to be a good host."

"Tell me what you need in Qin, and I will not be stingy."

Yan Dan nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I understand Your Majesty. Thank you for your care. I am grateful."

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Over the years, I have often missed the king. I am happy to learn from the correspondence that the king is doing well."

Ying Zheng laughed: "Don't be shy when you arrive in Qin. Have fun and experience the customs and practices of Qin. They are definitely very different from those of your Yan State."

"It is a good thing that you came to Qin. First, we can talk about our old friendship. Second, it will be good for you to return to your country."

"Don't worry, when the time is right, I will send you back."

"You and I have been friends since childhood. I know you well. You will be a good king and will be good for both our countries."

"As for your father, let's not talk about him." Having said that, Ying Zheng sighed slightly.

"It would be great if you were the King of Yan. The two countries of Qin and Yan would surely have a lasting friendship."

Yan Dan also spoke solemnly: "I am honored that the king values ​​me. I also feel the same way. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely make friends with Daqin."

"Haha, of course. You've been traveling so long, so why don't you go back and rest for a few days? Have fun in Daqin. It's the same in Daqin as it is at home."

"Come to the palace more often to accompany me when you have time. You have no idea how many things I have to deal with every day since I ascended the throne. Even getting a good night's sleep is a luxury for me."

Yan Dan smiled and said, "You are the head of a country, so you have a great responsibility. Your Majesty is able to handle the state affairs with ease, which fully demonstrates your ability. Since your accession to the throne, the Qin State has been thriving, which fully demonstrates your diligence. This is truly a blessing for the people of Qin."

Ying Zheng also smiled helplessly: "Yes, but sometimes I really want to be lazy, haha."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Ying Zheng sent Yan Dan away.

They both knew in their hearts that things would never be the same after this meeting.

Everything is different.

After Yan Dan retreated, Ying Zheng ordered Yan Jin to keep a close eye on Yan Dan.

If my guess is correct, the Yin-Yang School has not given up on the State of Yan.

In the State of Yan, there were many Mohists, so the Yin-Yang School had little chance, or perhaps the time had not come yet.

But when he arrived in Qin, Yan Dan was only followed by a few people from the Mohist school, which was a good opportunity for them to nail down his chess piece.

Since Zou Yan entered Qin, the Yin-Yang School has developed very well in Qin because of Qin Shi Huang's attention, and the cooperation and exchanges with farmers and doctors are also very good.

However, Xuanyuwei had already discovered that the Yin-Yang family had some other plans in secret.

Although he did not take any action, he continued to develop secretly in Chu and Yan after joining Qin, and already had considerable power.

Ying Zheng did not take any targeted measures, but just had people keep an eye on their movements.

Of course, not only the Yin-Yang School, but also all the schools of thought and the governments and people of the seven countries are watching their actions.

No matter what, intelligence is king.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Only with sufficient intelligence can you make correct judgments and decisions.

Any strategy must be based on the information obtained.

In this regard, Ying Zheng's support for Xuanyuwei was extremely firm, and his investment was also huge.

Of course, what it brings is the benefit of mastering the world's information. Compared with this, any small investment is worth it.

Ying Zheng never took the Yin-Yang School seriously. The Yin-Yang School took an unconventional approach and placed the most emphasis on talent, not state of mind or tempering.

Although shortcuts are quick, they have serious side effects.

They are all too emotional and have extreme feelings.

In addition, too much emphasis is placed on talent, there are too few core disciples, and geniuses are not everywhere.

This group of people have hidden dangers in their cultivation, so you don't have to take them seriously. Instead, they are better tools.

At all times, people are the foundation, and nothing can be accomplished without people.

They should poach people and bring them here to see what else they can do without anyone else.

Just when Ying Zheng was handling state affairs, in the evening, a maid from Ganquan Palace came hurriedly to report that Xiao Huang had died, and the Queen Mother was very sad.

Ying Zheng frowned, feeling uncomfortable, and hurried to Ganquan Palace. When he arrived, he saw Xiao Huang lying quietly on the ground, without breathing or heartbeat.

Zhao Ji was crying, Geng Ying and Han Lu were trying to comfort her, but they couldn't stop her.

After entering Qin, Hanlu was arranged by Zhao Ji to be the head of Ganquan Palace. The little girl Xue was delicate and cute, and Zhao Ji liked her very much. It was great to have a child in this deep palace, so she raised her by her side.

Over the past few months, Xiao Xuenu has become very familiar with Xiao Huang, and now she is also lying on the side crying.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and ordered someone to take Xiao Huang away and bury him properly.

This dog was given to Zhao Ji by Ying Zheng in Zhao State. It stayed with Zhao Ji for more than ten years and was very well-behaved. Now its life span has come to an end.

How could she not be sad when someone suddenly passed away after so many years of companionship? Zhao Ji was just a little woman and she cherished everyone around her.

This dog was raised since childhood and has always been by his side. Every time he sees Ying Zheng, he will excitedly circle around him and wag his tail.

Dogs are not like humans. They don’t have so many thoughts. They are always loyal and do everything for their masters.

Even Ying Zheng felt a little uncomfortable now.

Life, once lost, can never be recovered.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. He stepped forward and held Zhao Ji's hand. While injecting his true Qi to calm her down, he consoled her, "Don't cry, mother. Little Huang's life span has come to an end. He died without any illness or disaster. This is a good thing. He followed you all his life and never suffered. Don't be sad."

"I will prepare another puppy for you, just keep it."

Zhao Ji threw herself on Ying Zheng and cried, her eyes wet and her hair a little messy: "No, not anymore. If I raise another one, I will have to send another one away."

Ying Zheng had nothing to say, as a dog's lifespan was only a dozen years.

Permanent separation is always painful, and this kind of pain can only be buried by time. Even if it is buried, when memories of the past are evoked, the pain will hurt the heart again.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to let Zhao Ji cry. He took out a silk handkerchief and gently wiped her tears. Her tears had ruined her makeup.

After a while, Zhao Ji was tired of crying and slowly fell asleep under the warmth of Ying Zheng's true Qi.

Ying Zheng gently carried her to the couch, laid her head flat, took off the gold, silver, pearls and jade on her head, gently and slowly helped her wipe away the tears, and personally took off Zhao Ji's red stiletto sandals with hollowed-out sides. As expected of a pampered person, her jade-like feet without stockings were spotless, slender, beautiful, petite and crystal clear; her arch was as soft as the moon, with smooth lines, and her cute little toes were as round and smooth as jade beads, now slightly curled up, without any peculiar smell, but with a faint fragrance.

Ying Zheng covered her with a quilt, held her little hand and channeled his inner energy into helping her sleep and calm down. He sat aside and watched quietly, looking at the rising crescent moon outside the window with an expressionless face.

Time passes too fast. This invisible force turns the sea into mulberry fields and the mountains into deserts, and no one can stop it.

One day, everything will pass away and change.

Seize the moment, seize the moment, seize the moment.

ten thousand years is too long, fight for now.

When Zhao Ji's breathing became slow and she gradually fell asleep, Ying Zheng rushed to Zhangtai Palace to continue processing the memorials that had not yet been processed.

Even if you are feeling depressed, you must not slack off, but should work harder and faster.

Alas, it’s a pity that Nian Duan is pregnant and wants her elder sister to accompany her.

There are only two people of real status in the harem now, and if Nian Duan is included, there are only three people. Mi Yun is already pregnant, so only Wei Xianxian can sleep with her, and of course there are also Xia Yue and Dong Xue.

Wei Xianxian was very surprised. Happiness came too suddenly and she became particularly favored all of a sudden. She also knew that it was because there were not many people in the harem now. This was also a good opportunity and she must seize it!

As long as I have a child, I will have someone to rely on and I will no longer be afraid.

When Mi Yun was pregnant, Ying Zheng planned to give a position to the sisters Xia Yue and Dong Xue, but they refused it and only wanted to stay by Ying Zheng's side. It would not be too late to wait until she was pregnant. Ying Zheng was aware of their thoughts and thought it was no big deal.

As for Mi Yun, she was so angry that she almost died. Ever since he found out she was pregnant, the king only visited her occasionally in Yunmeng Palace, and the two of them had nothing else to do except whispering to each other.

Of course not. Ying Zheng was very concerned about his nominal first child, and this child could be of great use.

Her spies told her every day that Wei Xianxian was very favored and was treated with great care. Although Mi Yun knew there was nothing she could do about it, she was still very angry.

An Ping and Lan Xu were so scared that they had to comfort her every day, fearing that she would get hurt because of the pregnancy.

I also advised her not to keep an eye on who the king favors every day. There was no other way, so why bother? If something bad happened to her, it would be a big loss.

Mi Yun also thought that if she became pregnant, she could let An Ping and Lan Xu serve her. It was always better for family members to be favored than outsiders. But when she thought about that scene, she felt it was totally unbearable and was still unwilling.

Of course, Ying Zheng might not necessarily like them, even though they were both selected from the best of the best from the State of Chu, with beautiful looks and graceful figures, and they also had the responsibility to serve the king during the mistress's pregnancy.

However, Mi Yun was not very interested in this matter and was always unwilling to do it. Ying Zheng didn't care either, as he had four beauties close to him, so it was not their turn.

However, an unexpected reward came.

Yan Jin reported that a core senior member of the Yin-Yang School had come from the State of Chu. She was from the royal family of Chu and was Mi Yun's cousin. She had just arrived in Xianyang City.

Her name is Mi Yan, with the courtesy name Fei Yan. Her internal pseudonym within the Yin-Yang family is Yan Fei. Her position is Dong Jun, and she is a core senior executive.

Although Yan Fei is not very old, she is now ranked ninth on the "Qingjun List" and can be called a peerless genius. Even on the "Wulin List", she is ranked 107th, which makes her a first-class master.

Women generally do not have courtesy names, even those of noble birth. However, Mi Yan was proud by nature and gave herself a courtesy name.

She was of noble birth, so that was nothing.

Yan Jin also reported that Mi Yan did not come to Qin secretly, but came openly.

When Madam Mi Yun learned of Mi Yan's arrival, she also invited her to the palace for a chat, just two days later.

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, now is the chance to poach someone else, isn't it?"

"Yan Dan, oh Yan Dan, I want you to lose everything."

"You are a very good wife."

"She is so young and a member of the royal family. She should not have been on the list, but she was listed under a pseudonym. Moreover, a woman named herself Feiyan, Feiyan. This woman is quite interesting."

Mi Yun invited Mi Yan naturally to show off, because if one does not return to his hometown when he is rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night.

Among the women of the same generation in the royal family of Chu, only three or four were the most outstanding.

Mi Yun is the most outstanding one. There is no other way because Mi Yun's father is the King of Chu, and the King of Chu's brothers are only granted titles as princes. This is the biggest difference.

A princess is a princess, but the daughter of a feudal lord cannot be called a princess unless she is specially canonized.

Outstanding women are all proud.

Especially royal women.

The most outstanding people can only play together with equally outstanding people, but the relationship is really fragile.

The relationship between women has always been like this, and even more so in the royal family.

Mi Yun's marriage was famous all over the world and everyone knew about it.

These little sisters of mine will definitely never be able to compare to me.

When Mi Yun thought of their envious and jealous eyes, he felt a little intoxicated.

Especially this Mi Yan, who is proud by nature and even gave herself a name. How shameful!

In order to suppress me, she practiced Yin-Yang magic diligently, and even joined the Yin-Yang family, using the pseudonym Yan Fei to gain personal connections in the family. This is the only aspect in which she could possibly suppress me.

It’s just that I’m not fully committed to the Yin-Yang technique. Besides, what’s wrong with the Yin-Yang School?
Isn’t Zou Yan, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, also a subject of the king now?

What good can it do even if you hold the highest position in the Yin-Yang School?
This lady is pregnant with a dragon seed now. When the child rules the world in the future, you will still have to kneel down obediently.

I had thought that I would not be able to leave the State of Chu again in this lifetime, and no matter how well I was doing, I could only briefly express my feelings through letters.

But since you, Mi Yan, have come to Qin State, I must invite you to the palace to see my Yunmeng Palace!

Do you know what is the most loved thing? Today, let me show you!

Good sister, come quickly.

Speaking of which, Mi Yun's anticipation for Mi Yan's arrival even temporarily suppressed the jealousy in his heart.

As for Mi Yan, she was now thinking about Mi Yun with a gloomy face.

That arrogant fool!

Mi Yan has always been respected as Dongjun in the Yin-Yang School, and her pseudonym is not something that ordinary people can call her by.

A woman who chooses a name for herself is extremely proud.

Fei is the red color of silk. The State of Chu valued red, so Fei was the noble color of gorgeous clothes.

Yan was the name her father gave her, but she wanted to be Feiyan, which means a blazing fire rising to heaven.

This is a proud woman, a typical top aristocrat.

She is of noble birth, beautiful appearance, gifted and extraordinary intelligence.
