The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 739: Jade Steps Marriage
Ying Jing spread her hands and said, "It's a pity that my personalities are really incompatible with theirs."

"And you are wrong, elder sister. How can we only support Aunt Zi Nu? Can the relationship between senior brothers and sisters be closer than that between husband and wife? As long as the two sides are not enemies, no one can say anything if you support your wife's brother."

There was one more thing Ying Jing didn't say, which was that it was precisely because Wei Xianxian and Zi Nu had a good relationship that she could not marry anyone from the Zongheng family.

Ying Yi nodded and asked, "What you said makes sense, but what about you? Don't you think about your twelfth brother? He will be fifteen soon, right?"

Ying Jing narrowed her eyes for a moment, shook her head gently, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She said with a smile: "Shi Yao has an honest personality. Mother and I just hope that he can live a safe and happy life."

She sighed softly, her tone full of worry, "I don't want him to get involved in those fights. None of our brothers are easy to deal with. With his small body and small mind, if he really gets involved, the end will not be good."

"When my father makes Shi Yao a king in the future and allows him to live a life of wealth and honor, that will be enough. I dare not ask for anything else."

Ying Yi shook his head and sighed: "Alas, why should we fight over brothers and sisters?"

Ying Jing rolled her eyes silently, thinking to herself, 'Big sister, not everyone is like you, destined to be a favored daughter of heaven from birth, destined to spend life with a smile, destined to have everything.'

"My father's kingdom and people will not fall from the sky if you don't fight for it. It's the same as being crowned king, but it doesn't matter where you are crowned. You also need to cultivate your own team."

"I'm afraid that in two or three years at the latest, some people will start to be eliminated."

Ying Jing waved her hand and then asked, "Sister, please tell me. I have told you everything. You already know my feelings. What do you think now? Tell me quickly. Don't think I don't know. You have been meeting Zhang Liang quite often recently."

Speaking of which, Wei Zhuang has been coming back to his senses too often recently. He has always been loyal to his duties and loves military affairs. On weekdays, he would rather live in the army and not go home. He usually only goes home once every ten days or half a month, but recently.
Ying Yi laughed dryly and said, "No, it's just that there is a small matter that needs his help, it's nothing."

Seeing Ying Jing's face full of disbelief, she was about to ask, but she hurriedly said, "By the way, instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about your second sister. Even though your second sister has left the palace, she still lives in seclusion. She is the one worth worrying about."

Ying Jing opened her mouth, about to speak, but stopped herself. She pinched her waist and said, "Big sister, don't change the subject! Let's talk about your business and Second Sister's business. Let's talk about it when Second Sister is here."

Ying Yi yawned and said vaguely: "Oh, I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap first. We'll be there soon. You should get yourself ready first." She closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep in an instant.

Ying Jing curled her lips and was too lazy to ask any more questions. Her elder sister was too frank!
But she didn't let Ying Yi have an easy time either. She lay on Ying Yi, with her pretty face resting on Ying Yi's breasts.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It felt really comfortable. No wonder Aunt Nian Duan was so favored.

Ying Jing looked at herself from the corner of her eyes, her face bitter, she hoped that she could grow up a little more, not asking to be like the eldest sister, but like the second sister would be fine! If that doesn't work, then like the fifth sister would be fine!
When Ying Jing arrived at the teahouse, Ying Yi was waiting in the car. She entered the teahouse with two eunuchs and two maids, wearing veils on their heads.

When they reached the second floor, they saw Liu Ji staring into the sky in a trance. Ying Jing walked towards Liu Ji lightly, but before she got close, Liu Ji came back to his senses in shock.

Seeing that it was the graceful and elegant Ying Jing who was walking towards him with light steps, he smiled unconsciously, waved hurriedly, and stood up to greet her.

Liu Ji bowed his hands in a common greeting and said softly, "Hello, young lady."

Ying Jing also turned sideways and bowed in return, and the servants behind him also bowed.

Ying Jing's identity had not yet been revealed, and she was wearing a white dragon fish costume with a veil covering her face, so both of them were treated equally.

Liu Ji raised his hand and invited Ying Jing to sit down. The seat Liu Ji chose was a table near the window facing the street in the teahouse, and he also booked four tables around it.

Qingmingju is the largest and most elegant teahouse in the capital. The tables are far apart, giving a sense of distance. Although there are still other guests on the second floor, they are still a little far away from the two of them. They can talk quietly so that others won't hear them.

After Ying Jing sat down, she waved her hand gently, and the movement was natural and elegant. The four people behind her sat at the table beside them, two at a time. However, their attention was still on Ying Jing, and they were paying attention to everything around them.

Ying Jing spoke first, her voice very gentle: "Brother Liu must have waited for a long time. Please don't blame me for keeping you waiting."

Her voice was like a spring breeze, gently brushing through Liu Ji's heart. Through the thin gauze curtain of the veil, Liu Ji could see that Ying Jing's smile was quite sweet, and even a little apologetic.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ji hurriedly waved his hands and smiled cheerfully: "I just arrived too, and I just wanted to have a cup of tea to quench my thirst. Before I even finished this cup, the girl arrived. What a coincidence."

Ying Jing had just sat down, and just by looking at the table she knew that Liu Ji had been waiting for a long time, but she didn't say much. She didn't feel like talking nonsense today. She was also a decisive person and would never drag her feet.

Ying Jing looked at Liu Ji and smiled slightly, then raised her jade-like hands painted with light red nail polish, took off her veil, and ruffled a few strands of her hair.

At this time, there was a breeze blowing by the window, and the beautiful woman's hair fluttered gently in the breeze, adding a bit of charm to her, which also made Liu Ji's heart a little confused.

Even though it was not the first time he had seen Ying Jing's face, he still didn't dare to look at her closely.

Now in her twenties, Ying Jing has fully demonstrated her charm.

She was wearing a pale blue silk palace dress, embroidered with more than a hundred light-colored peonies, all of which were lifelike. Although the palace dress was beautiful, it only served to highlight the beauty's graceful figure.

A pair of fair wrists, each wrist wearing a Lantian jade bracelet that is enough to buy ten houses in the capital. But although the jade bracelets are beautiful, they are far less pure than the fair wrists.

She sat quietly and elegantly, with an upright posture, slender and beautiful, a slender and white jade neck, and a thousand-thread hollow gold willow bead necklace. Her pretty oval face was beautiful, her cherry-like mouth was painted with pink rouge, and her high and beautiful nose bridge made her temperament even more extraordinary.

A pair of phoenix eyes, now with a dignified and upright look, are extremely beautiful, and also have an extraordinary sense of oppression, like the twinkling cold stars in the night sky, making people dare not look directly at them.

Each of her facial features is like a carefully crafted work of art, and when put together, they are breathtakingly beautiful.

Just sitting quietly by the window is like being in a painting, a scene in itself. Looking around, everything around is eclipsed. As Ying Jing took off her veil, not only Liu Ji's heartbeat quickened, lowering his head and not daring to look directly, but also several guests on the second floor were lost in thought.

Ying Jing didn't care at all. She just looked at Liu Ji who was staring at the teacup with his head down, smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Brother Liu, am I beautiful?" Her voice was soft and a little playful.

Liu Ji's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to answer, but he nodded quickly. His movements were a little flustered, and at this moment Liu Ji was just like a child.

Ying Jing smiled, a smile that was like spring water reflecting pear blossoms, a new moon breaking through the clouds. She continued, "Then why doesn't Brother Liu dare to look at me?"

Liu Ji laughed dryly twice, still not daring to look directly at him. He looked to the side and whispered, "Don't look at what is inappropriate, don't look at what is inappropriate."

Ying Jing smiled more and more brilliantly, her smile dimples spread out like icy silk, her beauty was more beautiful than clouds, and then she said: "What if I force you to see it?" There was a hint of mischief and cunning in her eyes.

Liu Ji made up his mind, raised his head, and smiled casually: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse!" Before he finished speaking, he was already looking straight at Ying Jing. His eyes were full of amazement and admiration, as if he wanted to engrave Ying Jing's face in his heart.

The beauty in front of him was so beautiful that his heart was beating fast.

Ying Jing covered her lips and smiled, her pair of phoenix eyes narrowed up. This laughter, like the sound of silver bells and sparrows, made Liu Ji's heart skip a beat again.

Ying Jing put down her delicate hands and let Liu Ji look at her gracefully. She then asked the question softly, "Brother Liu, am I beautiful?"

Liu Ji exclaimed in admiration: "It is so beautiful. A goddess descending to earth could look no more beautiful than this." At least at this moment, he was truly sincere in his words.

Ying Jing smiled again, and she was even more pleased with Liu Ji's praise.

She gently opened her mouth and asked, "Brother Liu, you should know my identity, right?"

Liu Ji nodded silently.

Ying Jing smiled even more deeply, and then asked: "Then do you know why I invited Brother Liu today?"

Liu Ji nodded and said, "I have some guesses."

Ying Jing nodded, very satisfied. She stopped smiling, looked at Liu Ji seriously, and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Liu?"

Liu Ji asked back: "Miss, do you know my identity?"

Ying Jing nodded seriously: "Of course I know."

Liu Ji nodded and said, "I know that you are very smart, heroic, and resolute, but I want to ask you one more question, will you really not regret it?"

Ying Jing looked at Liu Ji seriously, her voice soft but firm, she smiled and said softly: "I won't."

Liu Ji suddenly raised the cup and drank a cup of tea with a heroic movement, just like drinking a glass of wine.

Liu Ji put down the teacup, stood up straight, looked at Ying Jing seriously, and said with a firm and serious look: "Princess, I am unworthy of your kindness."

"But Ji Yougui also wants to accept the princess's love. Ji swears to heaven that he will never let the princess down in this life. If he breaks this oath, he will not die a good death."

Ying Jing also stood up, looked at Liu Ji and said with a smile: "I will never regret it in this life. The husband sings and the wife follows, and you are the leader."

"Of course, if you betray me, I will make sure you die a miserable death."

There was a hint of coldness in her stunning phoenix eyes, which made people shudder. As soon as she finished speaking, Ying Jing's slender jade hand gently scratched the corner of the mahogany tea table, and the three-inch thick solid wood fell to the ground quietly under the air blade.

The "thump thump" sound of the solid wood falling to the ground made Liu Ji's heart jump. His eyes were full of shock, and he looked at Ying Jing as if he saw a brand new her.

Ying Jing said proudly: "I am Ying Jing, the third daughter of His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, and the current Princess Jingshu."

"I am the daughter of the Emperor! No one can betray me!"

Her voice was high-pitched and full of majesty, and the entire teahouse echoed with her voice.

She has an upright posture and a superior attitude, with an inviolable nobility and exudes an awe-inspiring temperament.

Ying Jing said this last sentence with a firm tone, which made Liu Ji feel a little flustered. But he was completely attracted by Ying Jing's majestic appearance, and he stood there in a daze, staring at Ying Jing infatuatedly.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including awe, appreciation, and even love.

When the people who were drinking tea on the second floor of the teahouse heard Ying Jing's identity, they all hurriedly prostrated themselves. Soon, the entire second floor was filled with people kneeling on the ground.

Ying Jing waved her hand casually, and everyone stood up and moved respectfully to the corner.

Since Ying Jing didn't let them leave, they bravely stayed, but they became more careful even with their words.

The manager of Qingmingju also ran over swiftly, but was stopped by the eunuch. He understood what he meant and went to appease other guests.
