The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 539: Children who skipped classes
Ying Zheng thought that when spring came, if there were no problems, he would hold a grand ceremony to enthronize the queen.

Having already annexed the two countries of Han and Zhao, it is time to liven up the society and take the opportunity to grant amnesty once again, and give the people a break.

Although Qin law has become less cruel and harsh in recent years, there have been no major changes. There has not been a general amnesty for six years, and it is time to let the people breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if you want to give the people a break, there must be a reasonable reason for a general amnesty, otherwise it would destroy the foundation of order.

Establishing a queen is a suitable reason. The day when the whole country celebrates is also a good day for the people of the entire Qin Dynasty to take a breath.

Kill two birds with one stone, win mahjong, win mahjong.

When Ying Zheng was walking in the snow, he saw from afar that his beloved daughter Ying Yi was walking in front of him with her head down, followed by a group of younger brothers and sisters, some of whom were also dejected, while others were laughing.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but frowning. He already knew what had happened.

This eldest girl must have seen that it was snowing today, so she took her younger brothers and sisters to skip classes and play in the snow.

Looking at Duanmu Rong, who was standing beside Ying Yi with a cold, serious but helpless expression, Ying Zheng knew that Duanmu Rong was going to capture her again.

Ying Zheng suddenly felt a headache and rubbed his brows.

He walked towards him with an expressionless face.

Naturally, Ying Yi saw her beloved father first. She secretly groaned in her heart and her face became even more bitter.

"It's over, it's over. Why is my luck so bad today? How come I ran into my father? Shouldn't my father be handling government affairs at this time?"

It was too late for her to run away now.

The children behind them naturally saw it as well. Some were scared, some were nervous, and some were gloating. Anyway, it was the eldest sister who took the lead, and they were all accomplices. It was also worth being happy to see the eldest sister get into trouble.

When he got closer, Ying Yi immediately showed a bright and lovely smile, and while calling "Father", he strode to Ying Zheng and was about to throw himself into his arms.

But it failed, as Ying Zheng stopped her by putting his hand on her forehead, and Ying Yi immediately pouted.

Duanmu Rong and the many princes and princesses behind her now walked in front of Ying Zheng and saluted obediently.

"Greetings to Father (the King)."

Ying Zheng glanced at the children and said to Duanmu Rong, "Rong'er, get up."

The other children didn't dare to move.

Ying Zheng looked around and saw that among the children who had already enrolled in school, except Ying Hua, Fusu, Zidu and Yude, all the others were present.

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and asked Ying Yi gently, "Yier, why didn't your father know that you don't need to go to school today?"

Ying Yi looked embarrassed and tried to throw himself into Ying Zheng's arms again, but was blocked by Ying Zheng again. He could only whisper back, "Father, I was wrong. Please punish me."

"It has nothing to do with my brothers and sisters. It's all my fault."

Ying Zheng then smiled and asked gently: "What's wrong? How come father doesn't know? Tell me."

Ying Yi pursed his lips and knelt down obediently: "Father, I shouldn't skip classes, and I shouldn't force my brothers and sisters to skip classes together. It's all because of my playfulness. Please punish me, Father."

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "That's quite a feat. It's quite a feat to take so many brothers and sisters to skip classes by yourself."

At this time, Tianming said, "Father, I have something to say."

Ying Zheng looked at Tianming, expressionless: "Speak."

Tianming is already over six years old. The child is in good health and tall. He is already five feet three inches tall. At such a young age, it can be seen that he will definitely be a handsome man and a top-notch heroic man in the future.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel satisfied in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being my offspring.

Tianming looked at his father's stern face and was afraid, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Father, it's not just my elder sister's fault, it's mainly my fault. I saw the heavy snow and wanted to have fun, so I encouraged my elder sister to take the lead in skipping classes and going out to play."

Ying Zheng sneered: "That's great, another capable person, and a loyal one at that."

"Does anyone else have anything to say?"

At this time, Ying Jing's eyes turned, and a clear voice rang out: "Father, I also have something to say."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and Ying Jing said, "Father always said that as children of the royal family, we should have a broad mind and embrace the four seas and eight wildernesses. Today, it is snowing heavily, and the sky and the earth are pure and beautiful. Such a rare beauty, how can we, the sons and ministers, not enjoy it to our heart's content?"

"Sister, this is also to practice father's teachings."

Ying Zheng snorted and said, "Slippery tongue."

"Does anyone else have anything to say?"

Dayou said, "Father, I have something to say."

Ying Zheng looked at Dayou and said, "Go ahead." Dayou said obediently, "Father, my sister is wrong. As a younger brother, I did not stop her and followed her in making trouble. I am guilty of an even greater crime. Please punish me and let my sister go."

Yun Xu also said, "Father, I have made a mistake. I admit it and I deserve the punishment. Please punish me. But this is not just my eldest sister's fault. Please don't punish her alone. I believe that my eldest sister has already known that she was wrong, and my brothers and sisters also know that they were wrong. I promise you that I will never make the same mistake again."

At this time, the two children, Ying Yan and Ying Yue, also begged for mercy: "Father, I am also wrong. I just wanted to play, so I let my elder sister take me. Please forgive my elder sister. I am willing to take the punishment on her behalf."

Ying Zheng looked at these two little cuties and listened to their soft, timid words of pleas. His heart melted, but he remained expressionless.

Ying Zheng was quite satisfied with these children who dared to speak, and he was also satisfied with their mother, thinking that she did a good job in teaching them.

Ying Zheng smiled, this time sincerely: "Father didn't say that only your eldest sister would be punished. Yun Xu is right. If you make a mistake, you must be punished. Since you have made a mistake, you must be prepared to be punished."

"Don't feel wronged. What's the matter? Once someone instigates you, do you lose your sense of who you are? Does it mean that following the majority is right? Can you just indulge yourself?"

"You just want to have fun, too! Huh?!"

"Remember, you will reap what you sow. If you make a mistake, you must accept the price you pay for it."

"Yier, as the eldest sister, you don't set a good example. Instead, you take the lead in making mistakes and leading your younger brothers and sisters to skip classes. You are the first offender. As a punishment, you must complete three times the homework assigned by the teacher for the next month. Don't slack off."

Ying Yi's face suddenly became extremely bitter, she wanted to cry but had no tears, and she let out a weak sound.

Ying Zheng looked at Tianming and said, "Tianming, you are the same. You are still bullying others at such a young age. You are an accomplice. I will punish you the same as your elder sister. You will also have to complete three times as much homework for the next month."

"However, considering your courage, honesty, and your ability to protect your sister, the imperial kitchen will send you an extra snack every day for the next month."

Tianming had a sad face at first, but after hearing the last part, he became happy again. He was a very open-minded person and didn't take the punishment seriously. Having delicious food was more important to him.

Ying Zheng then said, "As for Jing'er, you are so slick-tongued that I will punish you by making you copy the Analects ten times."

"Dayou knows how to protect his sister, Yunxu knows how to admit his mistakes and correct them, and Yan'er and Yue'er, the four of you just need to double your homework for the next ten days."

"Everyone else, complete all your homework for the next month twice as much."

The sparse voices of the ministers obeying orders rang out. Ying Zheng frowned and scolded, "What? What are you all mumbling about? How come your father can't hear anything?"

All the children shouted in unison: "Thank you for your teachings, father. We obey your orders."

Ying Zheng snorted and told Duanmu Rong, "Rong'er, remember to tell all the teachers in the school that in the next month, no homework should be deliberately reduced. The normal amount should be the same."

Duanmu Rong replied softly: "Yes."

When Ying Zheng said this, Ying Yi's face became even more bitter.

"Father is worthy of being my father. He doesn't leave me any chance."

Ying Zheng looked at this group of naughty kids, all of them looked dejected and sad, but he felt happy in his heart.

He smiled and said, "Alright, all punishments will also start tomorrow. Since you have already skipped class today and the punishment has been decided, you should enjoy the joy of making mistakes."

"You are allowed to skip classes for one day today, so go and have fun. Jing'er is right, this vast and surging river, the silver snakes dancing in the sky are a sight you must see, the mountains and rivers covered in white, how beautiful it is, go and have fun."

A group of little people instantly cheered and shouted: "Long live father."

Run away happily to play, since things have come to this, just have fun first, anyway, there is no need to be nervous and sneaky.

At this time, Ying Yi pouted and asked for a hug. Ying Zheng had no choice but to hug her, and the little girl then smiled happily.

Ying Zheng pinched her little face and told her: "Don't be naughty in the future. As a big sister, you must set an example. You are a bad example."

Ying Yi chuckled, jumped up and kissed Ying Zheng on the cheek, and said coquettishly: "Father, father, I know, I will definitely, uh... try not to do it again in the future."

Ying Zheng shook his head, unable to do anything about her: "Okay, go play, be careful not to fall."

As soon as Ying Yi ran away, Ying Jing threw herself into Ying Zheng's arms and hugged him, giggling and kissing him, then chased after Ying Yi.

Then all the children hugged Ying Zheng one by one, kissed him and went to play. Ying Zheng also hugged them and told them to be careful while playing.

When the children were all playing happily, Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head. Although Yi'er was a little naughty, she was qualified as the eldest sister, and she had prestige among the children. Even well-behaved children like Yan'er and Yue'er would join her in playing.

Seeing the children playing in groups of two or three, Duanmu Rong watched carefully and attentively from the side.

Ying Zheng's attention gradually shifted from the child to Duanmu Rong.

Before we knew it, this girl had grown into a beauty. She was one year older than the Snow Girl.

Over the years, I have learned all the true skills from my elder sister, and my medical skills are almost as good as hers. What I lack is experience.
