The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 63 Zhao Ji and Mi Yu's Different Daily Life
Gongshu Chou opened his mouth and praised: "You are truly a god, destined to save the world. I am honored that you have not abandoned me. I, Gongshu Jia, can follow you.

Ying Zheng said modestly: "No, no, everything depends on human efforts, and it is inseparable from the help of you gentlemen. Zheng and you gentlemen encourage each other."

He asked, "Mr. Gongshu, now that you have seen this paper, what do you think of printing technology?"

Gongshu Chou replied confidently, "I have already called together my disciples and prepared the workshop equipment. All preparations are complete. I have also conducted experiments and there are no mistakes. Now I just need to listen to your orders and set the size and specifications. We can make the templates and start printing at any time."

Ying Zheng nodded and said okay.

"Please leave this box of paper here with Zheng first. Gentlemen, please go back and wait for Zheng's notification. I will notify you two gentlemen in the next few days to discuss important matters."

After the two of them left, he thought for a moment and realized that Chang Lu and Qing Qin were currently waiting in Qin State. He gave an order:
"Come here, tell Chang Luqingqin not to go out these few days and wait for my order."

In the afternoon, Ying Zheng went to Zhao Ji's bedroom. As expected, Zhao Ji was not there. She had gone to play mahjong with the queen.

Ying Zheng asked Zichu to come to Zhao Ji's place tonight to ask his father for advice, and then waited in the palace for Zhao Ji to come back after playing.

In recent days, Zhao Ji has been active in the Xianyang Palace with her excellent card skills. She often visits the queen and Madam Xia, and gets to know many royal ladies.

During these years in Zhao State, with the company and guidance of Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji's daily life was comfortable. Ying Zheng's company improved Zhao Ji's personality very well. In addition, with her many years of experience in dealing with many noble ladies in Zhao State, she was like a fish in water in Qin State.

What's more, Queen Huayang treated her very closely, and her attitude was even better than that of her junior Mi Yu. This attitude was also intriguing.

From the current perspective, Zhao Ji's status is as stable as Mount Tai. As the prince's wife, naturally there are many people willing to get close to her.

The palace of Zhao Ji had long been replaced by people brought back from the State of Zhao, and the entire Prince's Palace was well managed. After all, Zhao Ji in this world was not some abstract anthropomorphic creature. With the help of Ying Zheng, Mi Yu's right to speak was limited to her own bedroom.

Speaking of Mi Yu, she hasn't been feeling well lately. She is currently recovering from an illness because she is anxious and angry.

Since Zhao Ji came back, her good days were over. As soon as she came back, she took away all the favors of Zichu, and took back all the power in the palace in a few days. As a result, no one knew where she got the superb skills to govern the palace in a few months. In the whole palace of the crown prince, except for Zichu, Zhao Ji was the most respected. This happened too quickly.

Zichu hasn't come to visit Zhao Ji in the past few months since she came back. She is such a vixen, seducing men to death.

She went to complain to the queen, but the queen not only did not support her, but also advised her not to fight or compete and not to do stupid things.

My aunt, whose surname is Mi? Now that you have been promoted to a full-time employee, do you no longer care about the younger generation?

Not only that, Queen Huayang also repeatedly admonished and warned all the people of the Chu clan in the court, asking them to do their work steadily and do less unnecessary things.

He even praised the little Ying Zheng in front of everyone, saying how smart, wise, talented, humble, polite, and tenacious he was. He almost praised him to the sky.

Why don't you praise Jiao'er? After all, our family is closer. Jiao'er has been studying very hard recently and has made great progress. He is also very smart.

Speaking of Jiao'er, it makes me even more angry. He is not as smart as Ying Zheng. This is a talent, not Jiao'er's fault; he cannot study as well as Ying Zheng, because after all, Ying Zheng is a few years older than Jiao'er, so that's fine.

But why are you so close to Ying Zheng? Did a mechanical white tiger take your heart away? You don't even listen to your mother. All you say after school is how good your big brother is. Silly child, do you know that your big brother is your biggest rival?

Also, you listen too much to your older brother. You do whatever he tells you to do. No matter how much homework the teacher assigns you every day or how late you have to stay up, you just complete it. You have never been disobedient even for a single day.

And that mechanical white tiger, he didn't let you play for more than 25 minutes every day, but you didn't play more than 25 minutes. You either don't play, or you play more. What's wrong with that? He doesn't know. Do you have to be so obedient? I've never seen you listen to your mother so much since you were a child. Silly child, do you know how hard your mother works for you?
There are also relatives from the previous dynasty, a bunch of insects. No matter how good your husband is to you, you must find a way to help our own people. I don’t understand why you are not anxious. The child is five years old, and you are not anxious. How can you not be anxious?

Thinking about Queen Dowager Xuan, Queen Huayang, and then looking at himself, Mi Yu thought more and more during this period, and became more and more annoyed.

I was so anxious and angry that I had been lying in bed for half a month. My husband only came to visit me once in this half month, which made me even angrier.

Back to Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji didn't come back dejected until it was getting dark. Judging from her appearance, she must have lost a lot.

Before Zhao Ji even sat down, Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Look who's back. It must be Madam Zhao, the unrivaled card player. She came back so late today, she must have won a lot. I wonder if she can share some with her son."

Zhao Ji was so angry that she went up to Ying Zheng and grabbed his ear, saying, "What a sarcastic remark, you rebellious son, what good will it do you if your mother loses money?"

Ying Zheng dodged it with a flick of his wrist and said with a smile, "Oh, no, it's natural that a child would be unhappy if he lost money. Didn't he think that his mother won money?"

"Mother, don't you always boast that you are the best card player in the world? Naturally, I thought I won money, but I never thought I would lose money. Why, mother, was my confidence in you wrong?"

Zhao Ji coughed a few times, forcing herself to save face, and raised her head and said, "You are right. I just had bad luck today. Besides, my mother always beats them. I am sorry, but for the sake of friendship, I deliberately let them win."

Ying Zheng complimented, but his tone was a little off: "Yes, yes, that must be the case. I immediately thought that mother lost on purpose, otherwise how could she lose?"

Zhao Ji was so angry that she shouted, "Don't move!"

Ying Zheng really stopped moving and teasing her no more. He let Zhao Ji grab his ears and beg for mercy repeatedly. Only then did Zhao Ji proudly let go.

"You disrespectful and rebellious son, be more respectful to me in the future, or else, hmph."

Ying Zheng nodded repeatedly, indicating that you are the best.

After playing around for a while, Zhao Ji sat down and asked, "What happened today? Why are you here so late?"

"There are some issues I need to discuss with my father."

Zhao Ji lost interest as soon as she heard it: "Some big event again."

Ying Zheng nodded gently: "I guess so."

Zhao Ji said: "There are so many things to do every day, so much fatigue, and I am exhausted but I still enjoy doing it. I really don't know why."

Ying Zheng laughed and asked, "Yes, why?"

Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm asking you, but you ask me."
