The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 309: Heaven’s will!

Ying Zheng begged for mercy: "No, no, it's my fault. It's all my negligence."

Zhao Ji snorted and turned her head away from Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to hold Zhao Ji's shoulders and turn her to face him, but Zhao Ji faced him and her pretty face still didn't look at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng tried to coax her for a long time, but Zhao Ji still ignored him.

Ying Zheng had no choice but to pull Zhao Ji over, and her head lay on Ying Zheng's legs. There was nothing he could do now.

Ying Zheng hugged Zhao Ji's delicate head and begged for mercy in a gentle voice: "Mother, it was my fault. I will never do it again. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Ying Zheng lowered his head and looked directly into Zhao Ji's eyes, his eyes were extremely gentle. Zhao Ji looked at Ying Zheng's eyes, tilted her head slightly, snorted softly, and said proudly: "I'll forgive you this time, but you are not allowed to do it again. If there is a next time, I will never forgive you easily."

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Thank you, mother."

Unconsciously, he stroked Zhao Ji's pretty face. Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at Ying Zheng and said, "Help mother up quickly."

Ying Zheng helped Zhao Ji up, and Zhao Ji said unhappily, "Turn around, and I have to personally tie your crown for you. You are really hard to please."

Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing.

Although Zhao Ji was talking, she did not stop her actions. She carefully fastened the golden crown for Ying Zheng and quickly got out of bed to take a look. He was not even wearing shoes.

Three steps away from Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji looked left and right, nodded with satisfaction, and thought to herself, "Zheng'er is really a rare handsome man, and he is also heroic and majestic."

"Yes, mother's craftsmanship is indeed good. After mother's personal work, you become even more handsome."

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly: "That's natural."

Ying Zheng walked out of the hall, let out a long sigh, and returned to Zhangfa Hall to handle government affairs.

There wasn't much time for sentimentality.

A few days later, Ying Xin gave birth to a boy. Ying Zheng named him Zi Du, which was derived from Jiao Liao.

Ying Zheng bestowed upon Ying Xin the title of Lady Huiyi and rewarded her with many treasures, but nothing else.

The Xuanniao Six-Phoenix Crown that Ying Xin had been looking forward to the most was not there at all. This made Ying Xin feel as if a knife was stabbing her heart.

Ying Xin and all the scholars of Zhao State lamented and lamented, just a few days away! The king's eldest son will be from the Zhao family!

No matter how kind and simple Ying Xin was, and no matter how strong her character was, she felt extremely uncomfortable and could not sleep or eat.

After all, just these few days have made a world of difference.

Mi Yun and Chu Xi were even more excited. This was destiny, this was destiny!

Some officials have already submitted a petition requesting the establishment of a queen, especially those from the Chu faction. In their view, the overall situation has been decided, and who else could be the queen except Lady Yunmeng?
It is true that Ying Zheng now has a son and a daughter. Although there are not many women in the harem, there are several of them with noble status. It is time to establish a queen.

Moreover, they thought better of it. As long as they established a queen, the eldest son would be the eldest legitimate son, and there would be no more suspense.

Even if the eldest son died young, as long as she took the throne as queen, the next son born would be the legitimate son.

However, no one has submitted a petition yet. After all, the way they eat is too ugly, and the king may not agree.

The infant mortality rate was extremely high in this era, even in the royal family. Before the hundred-day banquet, no one would submit a petition to establish a queen. But after the hundred-day banquet, it is estimated that no one would dare to do so.

Changping Jun and others were not in a hurry either. In their opinion, victory was a sure thing.

King Kaolie of Chu finally had some conscience. In order not to completely implicate Lord Changping, he never told Lord Changping about his plan to attack Qin.

In addition, Ying Zheng himself was also blocking the news, so only a few top people and his absolute confidants knew about this matter, and the rest of the people were just following orders.

Moreover, although Changping Jun was named the second prime minister, the work assigned to him by Ying Zheng were all infrastructure projects, road construction and water conservancy projects. These were both important and lucrative, but he had no say in national policies, let alone military affairs.

Changping Jun is still dreaming.

Mi Yun was deeply thankful for this. It was almost there! Just almost there!
Just a few days later would make a world of difference. Mi Yun also became more confident. This is destiny!

Fate allowed her to give birth to the eldest son for the king. Fate allowed this son, who inherited the noblest bloodline of the Qin and Chu royal families, to inherit his father's royal power!

The king’s son and I are destined to be the most noble people in the world!

Everything is just right!

A few days later, Gongsun Li also gave birth. This child was born after torturing her mother for nearly two hours in the dark, and Ying Zheng almost had to rush in to save her.

When the child cried, the night ended and the dawn came.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the Xianyang Palace, on Ying Zheng's stern face, and through the window onto Li Ji and the child's faces.

Mother and son are safe.

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Destiny, I am destiny!

When Ying Zheng walked into the hall, Gongsun Li, who was already exhausted, looked at Ying Zheng who seemed to be walking in with the sunshine.

He was still as majestic and stern as ever, but his eyes showed obvious concern and joy.

Gongsun Li looked at the man and smiled slightly, like a blooming night-blooming cereus, and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

She knew that Ying Zheng had been guarding her outside the palace.

Ying Zheng strode forward to supply Gongsun Li with true Qi and regulate her breathing. Then he asked the maid and midwife to help Gongsun Li rest.

Only then did Ying Zheng have time to look after the child. The child was born with extraordinary courage and spirit. He cried when he was born, and immediately drank with big gulps when the wet nurse fed him.

After drinking, he didn't sleep. He stared around with his big eyes, and no one knew what he was looking at.

When Ying Zheng took her over, she didn't cry but grinned instead. Ying Zheng laughed heartily.

I can't hide my excitement. In this life, I have everything.

"This boy's name is Tianming."

"Beautiful Lady Liji, Madam Jin."

Today, thanks to Nian Duan, no one would have thought that Gongsun Li would be more dangerous than Mi Yun. It's simply outrageous. We can only say that this child is too troublesome.

For Gongsun Li, Ying Zheng postponed the morning court for the first time.

After seeing to the child and settling Nian Duan down, he hurried to court.

It would not cause much commotion if Gongsun Li gave birth to another prince, after all, her status was too far behind that of Chu and Zhao, and this child was only the third child.

Since ancient times, most of the people who get into trouble are the eldest or second oldest children.

But Gongsun Li should not be underestimated.

Gongsun Li was the wife of a man who served under Qi and Wei.

Zhong Cang was Kang Shu from the Wei State, and Meng Ao was from the Qi State.

Qi had neglected its military affairs for nearly twenty years, and Wei was annexed by Wei, becoming a state in name only.

There are many talented gentlemen in these two countries, and many of them defected to Qin.

Gongsun Li's low profile and silence doesn't mean she has no strength or wisdom.

Gongsun Li’s childbirth made Mi Yun more confident. Destiny is destiny!

I won’t talk about the women who gave birth before me, but the two women who got pregnant in the same month and gave birth in the same month, within half a month of each other, both gave birth to boys, so I ended up being the first!
If this isn’t destiny, then what is?
