The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 738 Jingshu has an appointment
Since the last time Ying Zheng talked to Ying Jing, Ying Jing finally persuaded Wei Xianxian. Wei Xianxian was helpless and pestered Ying Zheng crying, so Ying Zheng favored her for several days before he gave up.

Unconsciously, Wei Xianxian has been the beauty who has been with him for twenty years. How could Ying Zheng not like a beauty as gentle as a lotus like Wei Xianxian? After so many years, how could the feelings not be deep?
As for Ying Jing, she has been busy with many things in the past year or so. She has to move to the new princess's mansion, and Liu Ji is even more busy with the adjustment of the official system. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to go home.

We haven't had much time to meet in the past year, and I haven't had a chance to be honest with you.

Moreover, although Ying Jing acted tough in front of Ying Zheng, she was actually a little nervous inside.

Just a few days ago, Ying Jing made up her mind to arrange a meeting with Liu Ji and forced Liu Ji to come, which was why Liu Ji was so conflicted.

Being such a smart man, he could roughly guess what was going on. After all, the princess was already quite old and it was not good to delay any longer.

Liu Ji dressed up, bathed, changed his clothes, washed his face, and even changed his crown to a more beautiful one. He was already quite majestic, and after dressing up, he looked even more handsome and heroic.

He arrived at Qingmingju half an hour in advance and ordered a pot of good tea on the second floor to drink alone. Even Liu Ji was a little nervous now. While waiting, his fingers tapped the table unconsciously. Unconsciously, he had drunk several cups.

As for Ying Jing, although she had spoken confidently in the past, it would be a lie to say that she was not panicking today.

She asked Ying Yi to accompany her, but of course, she had to talk about things by herself, Ying Yi would not accompany her.

On the way here, inside the carriage, Ying Yi covered her red lips with her slender fingers, her fingers were as white as jade, she yawned weakly, and lay lazily on the soft couch.

Yesterday, Zhao Ji asked her to come to the palace to play polo, and then they played mahjong for half the night. She went straight to sleep at Zhao Ji's place and almost forgot about the appointment she had made with Ying Jing today.

I finally got up in the morning and rushed to meet Ying Jing. Now they were riding in the same car. One was nervous and uneasy; the other was so sleepy that her beautiful big eyes had to close from time to time.

Ever since these princesses left the palace and moved to their own homes, everyone knew that they were the most favored. Countless people had their eyes on them in order to get ahead of others through roundabout means.

It doesn't mean that he must marry her home. As long as he can be on good terms with her, say a few good words to her when she enters the palace, and leave a good reputation in the eyes of Ying Zheng, that would be enough.

I don't know how many noble ladies and young ladies tried their best to get close to these princesses. In front of their princess mansions, there were endless embroidered carriages and a constant stream of people.

Seeing that her elder sister was about to fall asleep, Ying Jing hurriedly pushed Ying Yi and said, "Sister, please don't fall asleep. Stay alert."

"You said you would accompany me to calm my nerves, but you fell asleep right away."

Ying Jing was full of anger, Ying Yi smiled guiltily and blinked quickly to cheer himself up.

"No, no, I'm not asleep." There was a hint of laziness and confusion in his voice.

"By the way, why don't you call your second sister to join you? Why do you have to pester me?" She tilted her head and asked curiously.

Ying Jing rolled her eyes, speechless at her elder sister's abrupt change of subject.

But she still said, "My second sister is working hard to train a white eagle. The white eagle is very spiritual and very handsome. My second sister wants to present it to my father. She has spent three or four months on it and it is almost done. I don't want to disturb her."

Ying Yi nodded repeatedly: "Oh, I see. No wonder my second sister hasn't been out for some time, this is the reason."

Ying Jing poked Ying Yi's majestic peak that made her envious and jealous, just like Aunt Nian Duan, and then said: "Sister, no matter what, my lifelong event has come to an end today. If Liu Ji is willing, I will ask my father to grant me marriage."

"If he doesn't want to, then I will choose Meng Yi. Meng Yi is a gentleman with a gentle personality, and he is also a good choice. Even though I told him not to wait for me a long time ago, he still keeps waiting for me. I can't delay it any longer. Either he gives up, or I give up."

Ying Yi casually slapped away Ying Jing's Lushan Claw, yawned and nodded to show his approval.

Ying Jing narrowed her eyes, looked at her elder sister's chest, then looked down at her own little hill and curled her lips.

After she finished talking about herself, she asked Xiang Yingyi: "Big sister, what about you? You should also think about it. Aunt Nian Duan must be worried, right?"

Then he casually said, "Speaking of which, what do you think of that handsome man named Zhang Liang and the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, Gai Nie?"

Ying Yi shuddered, and his sleepiness was mostly gone, but he still pretended to be very sleepy and laughed.

"How do I see? I see with my eyes. What's there to say? Just mind your own business."

Ying Jing raised the corner of her mouth, smiled secretly, frowned, and said to herself with an embarrassed look: "It is indeed difficult to choose." "Zhang Liang has been a scholar for generations, and he studied under Mr. Duanmu Jingde. In fact, he is Sister Rong's senior brother. In terms of family background, he is also a family friend of Sister Rong."

"As for himself, he is a rare handsome man in the world. He is not only beautiful on the outside, but also beautiful on the inside. He is talented. His temperament is gentle and elegant. He is truly a gentleman worth a thousand gold and gentle as jade. His character is so noble that even my father has praised him more than once."

Ying Yi kept his head down as if he was asleep and didn't say anything, but he was actually listening attentively.

Ying Jing naturally knew this, so she continued, "As for Gai Nie, he is even more extraordinary."

"He is a disciple of Guiguzi. He joined the emperor's army when he was young. Over the years, he has fought in many battles and made countless contributions. Now he is the commander of the Yulin Left Guard, protecting the palace. He is deeply trusted by the emperor and is his most trusted confidant."

"Gai Nie is also a rare heroic man. Although his temperament is different from Zhang Liang's, they are not far behind."

"As for his talents, he is a man of both civil and military abilities. He is proficient in both civil and military tactics, and his cultivation is unfathomable, and his swordsmanship is superb. What is rare is that he has always cared about the people, is benevolent and righteous, and is selfless and dedicated to the public. He is a true hero."

"Although he is a little older, it doesn't matter. He has always been clean and self-disciplined. For such a great man, age is nothing. And he is really a man who makes people feel safe."

Seeing that Ying Yi didn't move, Ying Jing's eyes turned quietly and continued:

"Oh, yes, there is also Gai Nie's junior brother Wei Zhuang. He was transferred back two years ago and is now the Longwu General of the Longwu Right Army. Wow, his future is really limitless."

"Wei Zhuang has a tough personality. He is similar to his senior brother Gai Nie in appearance and ability, but he looks a little colder on weekdays. Although he is also very handsome."

"But unfortunately, he is a bit old. It's interesting to say that although Wei Zhuang is my junior brother, he is actually one year older than me."

Ying Yi waved her hands, glared at Ying Jing fiercely, and blamed her: "How come I didn't know that you were such a nosy person? Take care of yourself, do you need to care about me?" There was a hint of shame in her voice.

Ying Jing shrugged and spread her hands: "Big sister, I am just concerned about you. You know, when the world is peaceful, it is difficult to tell what kind of new people are. These are the good men who have been proven, and one less is the less."

"There are even fewer people who haven't married yet at this age. People like them who are single and haven't married yet have already violated the taboos in the officialdom. If it weren't for the great favor of the emperor, how could he let them hold high positions? And let them lead the army?"

"Now that everything has been decided, if they don't get married, they can forget about getting into the officialdom."

"For people like them who have already established a career before starting a family, I wonder how many people are eyeing them? Big sister, you should act early. If someone gets there first, it will be hard to break them up."

Ying Yi buried herself in the couch again, not looking at Ying Jing, and said in a muffled voice: "You are really talkative and troublesome." Her voice came from the couch, with a hint of ambiguity.

Ying Jing snorted: "Big sister, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have told you! I'm telling you, I heard that the fourth sister is choosing between these three people. If you're late, it will be too late to regret it!"

"Ah?!" Ying Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Jing in shock.

Ying Jing snorted twice and said, "This is reliable information. Fourth sister has always been thoughtful and resourceful. The person she likes will not be bad. Thirteenth brother is already fifteen years old, and she wants to do more for him."

"Ah?!" Ying Yi was even more shocked.

Ying Jing shook her head helplessly and pouted, "Oh, my dear elder sister, you are the only one who is blessed by nature and doesn't have to worry about anything. Look at all your brothers and sisters, who doesn't have a deep mind?"

Ying Yi was confused and hesitant, "Third sister, you are probably overthinking it. Although Fourth sister has always loved Thirteenth brother the most, he is her biological brother from the same mother, so it is normal. Fourth sister has always been gentle, virtuous, amiable, and treats everyone very well. She never conflicts with anyone."

"Even if she wants to help Thirteenth Brother, she wouldn't sacrifice her own life's happiness, right?"

Ying Jing poked Ying Yi again and said, "Big sister, the fourth sister looks approachable on weekdays, but in fact, she is very arrogant and has very high standards. You see that she is gentle and kind to everyone and gets along well with everyone, that's because everything is under her control."

"Fourth sister doesn't look down on ordinary people. What they look up to must be the best among men, the first-class heroes. Such heroes are powerful helpers in themselves."

Ying Yi shook his head and said, "That's even more wrong. The two from the Zongheng family can only support Aunt Zi Nu. How could they support others? Zhang Liang is a possibility, but the Zhang family is nothing. Zhang Liang has no military power or connections in the army, so it's not worth mentioning."

"Speaking of which, Aunt Xianxian and Mr. Wei Liao also have a good relationship. It would be appropriate for you to marry someone from the Zongheng family."
