my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 438 Queen Zheng’s reminder

When Mi Ji heard this, her eyes instantly lit up.

"Yes, Ying'er has always had a big appetite. You might want to eat more when you come back. You should ask the kitchen to pick up some of your little master's usual favorites and prepare them..."

Mi Ji was happy, and the other girls were also delighted.

Especially a group of concubines brought from the Western Regions, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

On weekdays, with Wang Nan and the others around, they have fewer opportunities to serve the emperor's eldest grandson. Therefore, they can only watch as Yu Ji, Wang Nan, Li Shu and others become pregnant one after another, while they themselves I can only envy you.

But now, the opportunity may have arrived.

After Mi Ji left, they went back and hid in their rooms to dress up carefully.

They, who came from the tribes in Hexi, knew better than the women in the Central Plains how important a child was to their future. Only Xubu Yunduo felt a little confused when he looked at the happy women around him.

Among this group of people, she and Zhao Ying spent the shortest time together.

To say that there are feelings is pure nonsense.

Just because I had a dream and said I would come back, I still marched in a hurry.

Zhao Ying stepped forward and held the First Emperor's arm, smiling naturally.

"Okay, not bad! Just come back!"

I heard that men in the Central Plains are often curious, and they might like this kind of style.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, seems to be gentle and affectionate, and is kind to everyone, but in fact, he has a heart of iron. He probably married us just to appease our Xiongnu tribe. He never valued us women on the grasslands, those poor people in Hexi. Yes, we are too..."

Hei looked at the emperor's eldest grandson, who had been separated for several months and looked thinner but more energetic. Hei couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile on his face.

Xu Bu Yunduo did not look back, but waved his hand in a somewhat disappointed manner.

"Can……"

A hint of sadness flashed through Xu Bu Yunduo's bright eyes. She hesitated slightly, then shook her head gently.

"When he comes back today, he will definitely go to Mrs. Wang's place first. As for us?"

Looking at the First Emperor who could not wait to stand at the door of the hall, Zhao Ying could not help but feel warm in his heart. He walked a few steps quickly and bowed deeply to the First Emperor.

I don't know how ridiculous this nonsense reason would be if told, but the First Emperor was very happy to hear it, coughed a few times, then looked at Zhao Ying with a smile, and cursed with a smile.

The maid, who had untied her pigtails and put on the clothes of a Central Plains woman, wanted to say more, but found that Xu Bu Yunduo had already turned around and went straight to the bedroom.

"I'm tired, please go down..."

Having said this, Xubu Yunduo turned around, his tone a little erratic.

Zhao Ying naturally didn't know the messy little thoughts of the woman in his backyard. At this time, he stood outside the palace gate, raised his head, looked at the high steps of Zhangtai Palace and the majestic palace in front of him, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Take a breath.

The scene of him risking his way into Zhangtai Palace in order to win the First Emperor's attention is still before his eyes. Even an ordinary guard dared to block his way.

"Your Highness, let's go quickly. Your Majesty has been waiting in the palace for a long time..."

Because she had such thoughts in her heart, this girl ran out of the gate countless times in the afternoon.

The maid looked at Xu Bu Yunduo with some confusion.

If he could successfully attract the attention of the emperor's eldest grandson, he might be able to help his master get a chance. Among His Highness's wives, only the princess is the only one who is not pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson's child.

"My lord, you are the brightest clouds on our grassland, the most dazzling pearl on our Xiongnu land, and you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Why don't you learn from them and dress yourself up beautifully?" His Highness will stay overnight today..."

"Chen Hei, I respectfully welcome His Highness back to the palace——"

maid:……

"It won't come..."

The person who spoke was the personal maid she brought from the grassland.

I can only retreat sadly.

"No need, the emperor's eldest grandson won't come..."

At this he sidled out of the way.

"Thank you, old black man——"

Now, it's really different.

"The speed of coming back is a bit fast. I'm afraid my eldest father hasn't received the letter I sent you yet..."

"Your Highness, the etiquette cannot be discarded..."

Seeing Hei standing at the foot of the steps and saluting from a distance, Zhao Ying couldn't help but show a sincere smile in his eyes. He walked a few steps quickly, went up to meet him, and held Hei's arm with his own hands.

Having said this, Zhao Ying scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hei Lao, what are you doing? You must not be so polite..."

Looking at the emperor's eldest grandson standing in front of him again, the First Emperor couldn't help laughing, and patted Zhao Ying's shoulder hard with his big hand.

However, I was quite dissatisfied with my master. He returned to his own room, thought about it for a long time, put on the clothes he had worn on the grassland again, and carefully braided his hair.

"Grandson Ying, please say hello to your eldest father——"

"After being away for several months, I missed my father a little. A few days ago, I suddenly dreamed that my father called me in my dream. I felt more and more anxious to return home. I couldn't stay any longer, so I simply marched back..."

Zhao Ying bowed in return.

"You brat, you just know how to mess around..."

Although he cursed, there was no intention to blame him in his tone.

"However, you still have a conscience and know how to think about your eldest father..."

Zhao Ying smiled.

"I'm mainly afraid that my eldest father will be lazy and refuse to eat on time, rest on time, and exercise on time - tell me, after I left, did you, the old man, follow my instructions to take a good rest..."

Looking at his grandson's unyielding gaze, the First Emperor suddenly felt inexplicably guilty. He coughed dryly and waved his hands pretending to be calm.

"You brat, when you come back, you want to take care of me. I - I naturally take a good rest..."

Zhao Ying:......

Father, as long as you say it more firmly, I will believe it!

However, he did not expose the Emperor's tricks on the spot, but he made plans to watch the Emperor eat and rest in person again.

"That's good, but your old man's food and rest will belong to me from now on. Anyway, I won't go anywhere in the future. I will just keep an eye on you every day. By the way, you are old. On weekdays, it's fine. Stop tossing around those concubines and concubines..."

First Emperor:……

He raised his hand angrily and slapped Zhao Ying on the head.

"You stinky boy, if you go out for a while, you will become even less mature..."

Zhao Ying shrank his neck innocently.

"Aren't I thinking about your health, eldest father? Look how long I've been out, and you've lost so much weight - eldest father, you're going to kill your soul and bones..."

First Emperor:……

He knew that his eldest grandson might have discovered his physical condition, and was afraid that he would be too preoccupied, so he deliberately took this opportunity to make jokes and make himself happy.

Therefore, he raised his palm, intending to slap it, but in the end, it turned into a slap, and he stretched out his big hand to rub Zhao Ying's head. He suddenly discovered that after not seeing him for several months, this brat seemed to be a little taller. He was almost nine feet away, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of a fatherly smile in his eyes.

"Yes, although Hei has lost some weight, his body looks much stronger..."

At this point, the First Emperor took the initiative to change the topic.

"I've seen everything you did in Jiangnan, and it's pretty good. Even if I were to go, I might not be able to do it as beautifully as you..."

Having said this, the First Emperor suddenly turned his head and looked deeply at Zhao Ying beside him.

"However, there is one thing that I have never seen you mention to me..."

Zhao Ying was calm and composed.

"My eldest father is talking about rectifying the obscene rituals in the south of the Yangtze River..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

"The rampant obscene sacrifices not only confuse the place, but are also not conducive to the unification of the people and the unity of the north and the south. Therefore, I ordered the destruction of obscene sacrifices and canonized the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

He naturally knew the greatness and brilliance of the First Emperor's decree, but the question was, how could something like faith be changed in such a hurry?

Once they are too eager, it will intensify the already tense and antagonistic emotions between the people of Chu and Da Qin.

Therefore, during his southern tour, except for some extremely barbaric sacrifices such as human sacrifice, he hardly interfered with the rectification.

"Father, haste makes waste..."

Zhao Ying explained very sincerely.

"For example, if someone doesn't allow us to hold sacrifices during the Chinese New Year, or doesn't allow us to hold Nuo performances during the sacrifices, or holds the Shangsi Festival and doesn't allow us to go out in the spring, what does the eldest father think..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Zhao Ying turned a blind eye to the change in his expression and said seriously.

"My father's ban on obscenity and sacrifice is definitely a long-term vision. Good governance after the death of the son for a thousand years is the foundation for the unity of the north and south of the Qin Dynasty and the unification of the country. However, Ying'er believes that changing customs should be done slowly rather than hastily. It requires subtle guidance, just like boiling in warm water. Being like a frog is the safest. If you interfere forcefully, you may not be able to arouse the rebellious spirit of the people..."

While they were talking, the grandfather and grandson had already reached the edge of the terrace of Zhangtai Palace.

The First Emperor opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to refute, wanting to tell the grandson in front of him that force was the fastest and most effective method, but in the end he nodded slightly and remained silent.

Fusu had told him this truth before, but at that time, Fusu's words were so fierce that the father and son almost fell out on the spot. It was not like it is now, just like grandfather and grandson chatting about everyday things.

However, it made him really try to consider the feasibility of this method mentioned by Zhao Ying.

For the rest of the time, Zhao Ying was basically talking, and the First Emperor was listening. In fact, Zhao Ying had already mentioned many things to the First Emperor in letters before, but now when he talked about them face to face, he naturally became more and more detailed.

The First Emperor would occasionally comment a few words. Although his words were few, they were to the point, and Zhao Ying always felt enlightened.

After chatting with the First Emperor for a while, Zhao Ying stood up with a smile.

"Father, please sit here and I'll go and say hello to my eldest mother first - you called me here as soon as I came back, and I didn't even have time to say hello to my eldest mother..."

"Your eldest mother, what do you want to see..."

The First Emperor complained, but still waved his hand generously.

"Since you want to go, just get over here quickly..."

After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Zhao Ying would be left to eat by Empress Zheng, so he did not forget to give a warning.

"Don't wait too long. Remember to come back and have dinner with your eldest father. I have asked the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes..."

"okay, got it……"

Zhao Ying waved from a distance, as if he was afraid that the First Emperor would regret it, and quickly disappeared.

"Your Majesty, having a grandson like this is really enviable..."

Seeing Zhao Ying walking away, Hei, who was waiting on his side from a distance, took a few steps and came to the side of the First Emperor, sighing with a sigh on his face.

The First Emperor suppressed the smile that was about to bloom on his face and waved his hand pretending to be indifferent.

"Manager Black deserves the award, but although this kid has no other merits, he still has some filial piety..."

black:……

Ah, that crazy sun-dazzling demon is back!

……

When Zhao Ying ran to the harem, his eldest mother, Queen Zheng, was sitting beside the pedal spinning wheel, spinning fine cotton yarn in a leisurely manner. Seeing Zhao Ying come in, he stood up holding the handle of the spinning wheel in surprise.

"Ying'er, when did you come back-"

Zhao Ying hurriedly took two steps and stepped forward with a smile to salute.

"Ying'er would like to say hello to the eldest mother——"

Then he stepped forward and held Empress Zheng's arm affectionately.

"My eldest mother has not been seen for a while, and her complexion is getting better. If I go outside, I'm afraid someone will recognize me as my grandma's sister..."

Seeing that he was exaggerating, Queen Zheng immediately laughed and cursed.

"Your mouth can make people happy..."

Although she knew that this brat was talking nonsense again, Empress Zheng couldn't help but smile, and she felt more and more pleased with her eldest grandson.

"You went out for a trip, but you worked hard. You look a lot darker and thinner..."

Zhao Ying shook his head seriously.

"I can't say it's hard work here. I'm just walking around, just like going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. You don't know, I was on this journey..."

Knowing that Empress Zheng had never left the courtyard and was quite curious about the outside world, Zhao Ying smiled and picked up some interesting places and knowledge and told them to Empress Zheng. Empress Zheng couldn't help but marvel, and she would catch Zhao Ying from time to time. Ying, ask a few questions carefully.

Listening to the laughter coming from time to time in Queen Zheng's palace, some concubines who didn't know about it asked in confusion.

"Did the Queen meet something happy? Why are you so happy today..."

"My lord, it's His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson who has returned and is visiting the Queen in the palace..."

Only then did these concubines look relieved.

Since His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is back, it's not surprising.

Unconsciously, it was already lunch time, and Queen Zheng was about to leave the meal, but Zhao Ying stopped him with a smile.

"Mom, don't get ready. When I came here just now, I already agreed with my eldest father that I would go over and have dinner with him..."

At this point, seeing a look of disappointment on Queen Zheng's face, she quickly added with a smile.

"I'm looking for my eldest father, mainly because I have some things I need to discuss with him. After we finish our work in the evening, we might as well go to our place with my eldest father and have a family reunion dinner together..."

After hearing Zhao Ying's arrangement, the smile on Queen Zheng's face finally bloomed again.

When she was about to go out, Queen Zheng suddenly stopped, looked at Zhao Ying, and said something meaningful.

"Your fourth uncle is not at home. When you are free, help your fourth uncle keep an eye on the house. Don't let some mess ruin the relationship between your uncle and nephew..."
