Chapter 492 Invitation

"Zheng'er pays homage to his mother!"

Behind Zhangtai Palace, in a palace room, Ying Zheng came with two concubines, and the three of them knelt down in front of Queen Mother Zhao Ji at the same time.

In this era, there is no kneeling ceremony in the court hall like later generations, but the kneeling ceremony does exist. The difference is that it is the etiquette used to treat parents and the elderly.

Although Zhao Ji has made thousands of mistakes and has become the laughing stock of others, in the final analysis, she is Ying Zheng's mother.

Zhao Ji seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and she hadn't seen A Yao for several days when she came to the palace.Today, the heart-to-heart talk between the mother and daughter made her feel relieved a lot.

Seeing Ying Zheng, Mi Rou and Han Ni kneeling in front of her, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed.

Once, she hated the three people in front of her to the bottom of her heart.

His son Yingzheng threw his other two sons to death.

As for the two women in front of her, when the King of Qin was choosing a concubine, she firmly opposed them.

In the year when Yingzheng chose a concubine, all countries offered their own princesses in order to make friends with Qin.

However, at that time, there were three forces in the DPRK and China, among which the forces of foreign relatives headed by the Empress Dowager Huayang.

At that time, the two generations of King Xiaowen and Ying Yiren left successively, and it was the time when the Queen Mother Huayang needed to consolidate her power.

Her heir is Chu State, and Chu State is the only one she can rely on. Of course, she must find a way to arrange for the princess of Chu State to marry Qin Wangzheng.

Therefore, in order to get Mi Rou to take over, the pressure exerted by the Empress Dowager Huayang was not ordinary.

As for Zhao Ji, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was already at odds. After so many years of suffering, she was targeted again and again when she returned to Qin. How could she want to let others control the overall situation?

So she also contacted her natal Zhao Guo.

Although Zhao Guo and she also have a deep blood feud, and all the sufferings they have suffered are in Zhao Guo, but in the final analysis, she is from Zhao, and Zhao Guo is the only one who wants to find someone to join forces.

So her choice was Princess Zhao.

According to reason, Lu Buwei at that time should have united with her.

But in the end, Lu Buwei supported the Korean princess instead.

This is simply unreasonable.

Under the endless fighting among the three parties, in the end, Ying Zheng married the two princesses supported by Lu Buwei and the Queen Mother Huayang. On the contrary, the princess of Zhao Guo he supported was humiliated by Ying Zheng and beat back.

This once made Zhao Ji very angry, so she didn't like these two women.

It's just that these years have passed, and now when we meet again, she finds that all the resentments in the past seem to have disappeared.

Time is like a supreme magic weapon that can erase everything, even hatred can slowly disappear in the erasure of time.

"Zheng'er, get up!"

"Han Ni, Mi Rou, get up too!"

With a sigh, Zhao Ji's tone was unprecedentedly gentle, and she said softly.

"Thank you mother!"

The three kowtowed and got up one after another, kneeling and sitting in front of Zhao Ji.

"Zheng'er, why are you here this time?"

Although the mother and son have reconciled, but these days after returning to the palace, the mother and son basically seldom see each other. After all, there is still a layer of estrangement after all.

"After I informed my mother, Zheng'er decided to worship the heavens on Lishan Mountain today, and I have ordered all the officials and princes of the Manchu Dynasty to come here to invite my mother!"

"This important event of offering sacrifices to the heavens must not be sloppy. As an elder, the queen mother should be present!"

Ying Zheng bowed his hand and said solemnly.

"What, invite me to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?"

Zhao Ji was taken aback for a moment, seemingly incredulous.

Although these days, as the empress dowager, she should be present.

But now she still has another identity, the sinner of Daqin.

This identity, from the day of Lao Ai's rebellion, she was destined to be unclean.

Even if Ying Zheng wanted to cleanse her up, how could she go to sacrifice to heaven with such an identity?Isn't that making a joke for Qin and causing dissatisfaction?

"That's right, the queen mother is getting ready, let's go!"

Ying Zheng bowed his hand and responded again.

Zhao Ji's heart warmed, and she couldn't help but be moved, after all, she was still her own son.

"Okay, but today doesn't seem like a good day to sacrifice to heaven!"

Zhao Ji nodded quickly, seeming to think of something while speaking.

But before Yingzheng could answer, she shook her head again and said with a smile: "My son is the King of Qin and the Son of Heaven. Since we have decided to sacrifice to the heavens today, it must be a good day to worship the heavens. Wait a moment, the queen mother will come soon." !"

With that said, Zhao Ji got up and started to prepare.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng said his farewell, and left one after another with his two wives.

Soon, the couple came to Huayang Palace and met the Empress Dowager who had been imprisoned in Huayang Palace for a long time.

"Zheng'er pays homage to his grandmother, the Queen Mother!"

"Han Ni pays homage to the grandmother and queen mother!"

"Mirou pays homage to grandmother and queen mother!"

The three of them knelt down one after another, and started another greeting ceremony.

In today's world, there are only two women who can make Ying Zheng and others kneel down and worship. They are all sinners of the Qin Dynasty.

Except for these two, even the old master Guan Neihou would not be successful.

Zhao Ji is Ying Zheng's biological mother. Although Hua Yang is not Ying Zheng's real grandmother, she is his nominal grandmother after all.

If it hadn't been for the Empress Dowager Huayang to take him in back then, how could he have the day when Yingzheng is king today?

"Zheng'er, Rou'er, why are you here?"

Seeing the three people in front of her, the Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes lit up, and she hurried forward to support Ying Zheng and Mi Rou one by one. After a moment of hesitation, she raised her hands and said, "Han Ni, get up too!"

Unlike Zhao Ji, although the Empress Dowager Huayang had dealt with Ying Zheng before, she had no hatred for the two women beside him.

Once, his stepson Ying Yiren married two women, one was Zhao Ji, and the other was also a Korean princess.

The Korean princess gave birth to a son named Chengyu.After Ying Yiren's death, what she wanted to support more was the son of the Korean princess, Cheng Yu, as King Qin.

But in the end, the palace change failed, and everything was out of her control, which made her end up where she is today.

But over the years, Ying Zheng has never neglected her. Over time, the relationship between her and Ying Zheng has gradually eased. At this moment, she is very happy to see three juniors coming to visit her.

"Reporting to my grandmother, the Queen Mother, Caizheng'er decided to offer sacrifices to the heavens on Lishan Mountain, and has sent orders to all the princes and ministers to prepare. I miss my grandmother, who has been alone in this Huayang Palace for many years. She has not seen any strangers, and she has not participated in many sacrifices to the heavens. I am here to invite my grandmother. Empress Dowager, I hope Grandmother Empress Dowager will participate!"

Ying Zheng bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"What, sacrifice to heaven?"

Hua Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, looked Ying Zheng up and down, and said, "Zhenger, you have really grown up, and you are becoming more and more kinglike. This is what a king should be like. When the heaven and earth are auspicious, the king will decide!"

"But Zheng'er, grandma won't go. It's a big event to sacrifice to heaven. After all, grandma is a sinner. If she goes with her today, she will inevitably be criticized, which is not good for Zheng'er. Understand?"

While speaking, the Empress Dowager Huayang shook her head and declined Ying Zheng's invitation.
