The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 164 Princess Ying Xin
"I agree." A calm and firm voice sounded.

"Da Zhao"

"Huh?" Guo Kai was very surprised. I haven't even finished speaking yet, and you agreed?
Ying Xin smiled and said, "Why? Didn't Lord Guo hear clearly?"

"I agree. I am willing to marry the King of Qin."

Guo Kai quickly bowed and said, "Princess, you are very wise and righteous. I admire you very much. Thank you very much, Princess."

Ying Xin returned the greeting and said solemnly: "Although I am a woman, I also know the righteousness. As a member of the royal family, how can I shrink back for my own selfish reasons when my country is in danger?"

"I also know about Lord Guo's entry into Qin. Lord Guo did not fear danger and went deep into the enemy country. He argued with the fierce Qin and won peace for Zhao. What does my honor and disgrace matter?"

"Lord Guo, you came here today. I already know why. I also know that I am the most suitable candidate for the royal family of Great Zhao. For the sake of Great Zhao, I am willing to go."

Guo Kai was so moved that his eyes filled with tears: "Princess, you are loyal to the royal family and you are willing to endure for the sake of the country. I admire you!"

"I am sorry for wronging the princess. The king is also saddened and has specifically instructed me that it must be the princess's own will."

"The king said: As a brother, how can I not protect my sister? I would rather go to war with the powerful Qin than force my sister to do something she is unwilling to do!"

Ying Xin said decisively: "I know that my brother loves me, but how can I ignore the people of Zhao and the foundation of our ancestors because of me? As a member of the royal family, now is the time for me to contribute to Zhao. I am willing to marry into Qin to maintain the friendship between the two countries."

"Ying Xin has only one request. My father has just passed away and I am still in mourning for a year. Ying Xin cannot enter Qin during this year of mourning."

Guo Kai was deeply impressed and praised: "The princess is righteous and filial! It's natural!"

"That's what the king meant. Please rest assured, princess. Royal marriages are complicated and cannot be accomplished overnight. Just delay it a little."

"In addition, the king specifically instructed that if the princess is willing to go to Qin, then she will not be wronged."

"In order to make the princess' life better in Qin, I will give her the Heshi Bi and five cities as her dowry, plus five hundred carts of rare treasures."

"The king knows that the princess is best at martial arts, so he gave her the world-famous sword, the Yuchang Sword, as a dowry."

"I will never let the princess bring disgrace upon the great Zhao, and I will never let the princess be overpowered by the southern barbarians of the Chu State."

Ying Xin bowed to Guo Kai and said, "Please tell my brother, I know your love for me. I will follow your arrangements on all matters."

Guo Kai quickly responded: "Princess, your words are too kind. I will report the truth to you. The princess and the king will surely be very pleased."

He hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Princess, I have something else to say. Should I say it?"

"Master Guo, please speak."

Guo Kai sighed, "The two countries of Zhao and Qin have been enemies for many years. Now the King of Qin is willing to make peace with Zhao, which is not easy. This is also the first marriage between Zhao and Qin."

"After the princess entered Qin, the peace of Zhao and Qin all depended on her."

At this point, Guo Kai bowed and said, "Princess, please serve the King of Qin carefully after entering Qin and maintain the peace of the two countries. For the sake of Zhao and the people, I beg you to do this!"

Ying Xin hurriedly ordered the maid to help Guo Kai up, and said, "Master Guo, why do you have to perform such a grand ceremony? I also know the importance of this. Please rest assured, I will do my best to maintain the peace of Zhao Qin."

Guo Kai was still afraid that the princess would do something stupid. After all, she didn't look like a smart person. She was too naive and simple.

The king has given the sword Yuchang to this silly princess, so don't do anything stupid. A war between Qin and Zhao is a small matter, but I can't bear the responsibility if it involves me. Thinking about it, he painted a big pie for Ying Xin: "The princess is of noble status. The King of Qin has no heirs yet. If she gives birth to a son of the King of Qin after entering Qin, and if it is the eldest son, then if the princess's son ascends the throne of the King of Qin in the future, then the generations of hatred between Zhao and Qin can be completely resolved. Not to mention eternal peace, at least there will be no major conflicts within three generations."

When Guo Kai saw the light in Ying Xin's eyes, he knew in his heart that the pie was set. As long as he didn't act too stupid, there would be no problem. This princess was just naive and simple, but not really stupid.

Ying Xin nodded heavily: "Thank you Lord Guo for your advice, I understand. Please report back to my brother, Lord Guo. Thank you Lord Guo for your help."

Guo Kai bowed and said, "I am sorry to trouble you, Princess. I will take my leave for now and report to the King."

After Guo Kai left, he thought to himself, "How deceitful can a woman be? Why does she need to get involved in the affairs of the court?"

"I have done my best so far. What happens after that is not my business."

"Anyway, we have established a good relationship. We will have a connection when we go to Qin in the future. I hope the princess will manage the Qin King's harem well and don't do anything stupid."

Guo Kai went to report the good news to King Zhao Daoxiang. King Zhao Daoxiang was overjoyed and praised Guo Kai again.

Guo Kai is really capable. I don’t even ask for the whole court to be filled with ministers like Guo Kai, a few more will be enough.

The State of Zhao hurriedly prepared a letter of alliance, but of course the letter only mentioned the alliance.

The Qin State needs to propose marriage and go through the marriage process, which is not Wei Xianxian's situation.

Ying Xin is of noble status and has a generous dowry, so there must be some formalities involved and it cannot be sent directly over.

King Zhao Daoxiang urged Lord Jianxin and Guo Kai to act quickly as he was also anxious to attack the State of Wei.

Let’s talk about Ying Zheng again.

The news of the marriage with the State of Zhao spread to the harem. Although there were only a few people in the harem, each of them had different thoughts.

Nian Duan was fine. She was a caring elder sister and didn't say anything. No matter what Ying Zheng did, she would not oppose it, even if she didn't support it. Of course, there was no use opposing it.

It has been inconvenient since she became pregnant, so she entered the palace a long time ago and told the outside world that she was in seclusion.

It's not that no one knows about Nian Duan's affairs. There is no wall that is impenetrable. It's just that Nian Duan's identity is so extraordinary and special that no one dares to make up stories about King Qin. Some people who know the inside story just turn a blind eye.

Random arrangement of things is harmful and useless, and everyone knows the seriousness of this.

As for the Imperial Hospital, doctors, and farmers, those who had subordinate relationships with Nian Duan, many of them became even more fawning towards him.

Let’s talk about Mi Yun. She has been pregnant for the past few months and everything has been fine, but unhappy things have also happened one after another.

The first one is that little bitch Mi Yan. Didn't she say she was going to travel? Why did she stay in Xianyang Palace and not leave?

You said you would spend more time with me, but you didn't. However, every time the king summoned you, you were very active.

And she dresses more and more seductively every day?
Are you really asking the king to teach you martial arts?
My king, my king, please don't be fooled by this little bitch!

That woman is a deep-minded person. She is not a good person. She is not like me. I am the one who truly loves you!
