The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 268: Lively Ganquan Palace (Additional chapter for Alliance Leaders Er and Er Bu Er)
As Wei Yong expected, when King Jingmin of Wei revealed his idea of ​​taking advantage of Qin's temporary peace to negotiate peace with Qin, Lu Liao immediately agreed and volunteered to be in charge of the matter. King Jingmin of Wei naturally handed the matter over to him.

However, he was deliberately not given the right to sign the contract, and the terms of the negotiations were made vague. It was said that land could be ceded if necessary, but it did not say how much land to be ceded, let alone where.

When Lu Liao encountered problems, he could only ask for instructions. The journey was long and took a long time.

But Lü Liao was so happy that he didn't think much about it. He just thought that the king had figured it out. Since the alliance could not be reached, they could only talk about peace.

After all, Qin was too strong, and there was nothing shameful in negotiating peace. It was a chance to catch its breath and recuperate. Only with time could one have the opportunity to wait and see how things would change. The countries were in conflict, and one could not rush into it. No one knew when the great changes would come.

Which country has not been strong for a while? Oh, South Korea has not. South Korea does not count.

It's all gone in a flash, but it's just a matter of time before you take over. Don't be impatient. The more impatient you are in an unfavorable situation, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Lu Liao happily went to Qin to negotiate peace. This time the king was willing to cede land for peace, and he was sincere. Since such an important task was entrusted to him, he must negotiate well. The smaller the loss to Wei, the better.

Before we knew it, it was already the autumn of the fourth year of Qin Shi Huang's reign.

Thanks to Ying Zheng's greedy and hard work, Mi Yun has become pregnant again, and it has been two months now.

This time, Mi Yun was both happy and upset, and she wanted to cry but had no tears. She had just been with the king for a short time and she was pregnant again.

Is it really useful to drink more?

Besides her, there was also Ying Xin. After trying various positions, this silly girl finally got what she wanted.

The two of them arrived almost at the same time, with only a few days' difference.

Now she felt at ease. Ying Xin had great expectations for this child. She firmly believed that this was the beginning of peace between Qin and Zhao.

There is also Gongsun Li, her pregnancy was a little earlier, but almost the same. The three women should have become pregnant in the same month.

During this period, Ying Zheng was not very busy. After all, there was nothing big to do, and the big things were yet to come.

Ying Zheng watched coldly as the various countries jumped up and down. Every time he saw the latest intelligence, he would laugh at their ulterior motives.

Once again, it proves the truth that even destruction cannot unite everyone.

It is impossible to start a war this year. First, things are difficult to discuss, and second, we have not yet recovered from the disaster and do not have the energy to launch a large-scale military operation.

Humph, if you don’t fight, I won’t let you go.

Or I'll add fuel to the fire. When will you guys unite and come over to get beaten?
Now we are just waiting for the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and the opportunity will come when Yan and Zhao go to war.

It was at this time that Lü Liao came as an envoy of the State of Wei to promote a friendly alliance between the two countries.

Ying Zheng understood what this meant after a brief thought.

This time, Wei Yong did not send any news, and Ying Zheng could guess what his plan was.

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart, you are a fence-sitting idiot, full of selfishness. It’s up to you. When the time comes to punish you, I won’t even give you the chance to cry.

As for the King of Wei, I will give you enough face for the performance. Anyway, I am bored, so I will play with you in Wei. Ying Zheng received Lü Liao with high standards, but he felt sorry for him. Although this person was pro-Qin and advocated peace, he was loyal to Wei. It was a pity.

I will not kill him. Let him die at the hands of his own people.

Ying Zheng's reception gave Lu Liao a great illusion that Qin was also willing to negotiate peace. After all, Ying Zheng's reputation was quite good now, which made him extremely encouraged.

Next, let Lu Buwei play with him and have fun.

I have already given you enough face by receiving you with such high status. How could I have time to accompany an old man like you? I still have state affairs to attend to. Even if I am not busy, wouldn’t it be nice to accompany a beauty?
I feel a little unhappy when I talk about this. Some of my favorite beauties are pregnant, and there are not many people who can accompany me.

Did you guys discuss this?
Alas, there are still too few beauties in the harem. We should bring in more beauties.

During this period, the beauties who have not yet become pregnant are very happy, especially Chunhua Qiushi, Xiayue Dongxue. They originally could not get much rain and dew, but fortunately they can still serve the king. As a result, now they are the first to get the moon because they are close to the water. During this period, except Master Nianduan, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Jiang, there is no one else.

Master Nian Duan has things to do after all. Concubine Wei is delicate and weak. Oh, and there are the Qiang people, but they don’t count. The Qiang people are not human beings, they are just the king’s toys.

As for Sister Li Wu, she is useless, just a companion.

This period of time was a good opportunity for them, as it also allowed them to deeply understand what it meant to have few enemies and enough food.

Ying Zheng thought about finding a beautiful woman who could serve him well in bed, but he lost interest in her.

It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I might as well go and see what my mother is doing. I haven’t been to Ganquan Palace for a long time.

What else can Zhao Ji do? Play.

Pregnant or not, those who were qualified and had time all rushed to Ganquan Palace. No one was stupid, and everyone knew the importance of making themselves known to Queen Dowager Zhao. Especially after the matter of Mi Yun was somehow leaked, they all went there more frequently.

Of course, Ying Zheng did not forget the Queen Mother Huayang and the Queen Mother Xia. Since having children, Ying Zheng also instructed Mi Yun and Wei Xianxian to visit them often. The elderly will inevitably feel lonely as they get older, and having children to accompany them can make them feel comfortable in this boring palace.

Of course, there were also children with Nian Duan. In addition to being taken care of by Queen Dowager Zhao, they were occasionally given to Queen Dowager Xia. Queen Dowager Xia loved this eldest daughter of Ying Zheng to the core of her heart.

As for the matter between Ying Zheng and Nian Duan, Queen Dowager Xia didn't care at all. She had seen and heard everything about the palace, so what was this matter?
Since the three children were born, Mi Yun and Wei Xianxian came to Zhao Ji's side the most often. The two queen dowagers also often came to Zhao Ji's side because they missed their children.

Ying Zheng was also very pleased about this. The harem was harmonious and the elders had no intention of interfering in politics. Everything was good and everyone had a bright future.

It's very lively here at Zhao Ji's place today. There are two mahjong tables and one card table. It's quite noisy. Even though Zhao Ji likes lively places, she's not in high spirits now.

Ying Zheng heard the noise in the hall from a long distance away and couldn't help but twitching his lips.

After stopping the eunuch from passing the message, Ying Zheng quietly walked into the hall.

Looking at the scenery in front of me, I feel speechless and yet I like it.

There are now several tables in the main hall of Ganquan Palace. The sounds of people playing cards can be heard one after another at three tables. Behind each master stands at least one personal maid. There are also several other tables filled with gambling money, fruits, cakes, fruit juices and candied fruits, etc. There are also more than a dozen maids waiting on both sides of the hall. Such a large main hall even feels like there are too many people.
