Chapter 67 Protection
Zhao Ying stood up abruptly and looked towards the courtyard with surprise.

Shi Huangdi, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, appeared in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking leisurely, followed by Hei Bingtai, who was also dressed in ordinary clothes, like an old housekeeper.

"My daughter-in-law, Mi Ji, welcomes Your Majesty—"

Seeing the arrival of the first emperor, Mi Ji hastily put down her chopsticks, led her younger sister, and rushed out to welcome him.Zhao Qi also woke up suddenly, hurriedly put down the chicken bone in his hand, and ran out to salute the first emperor.

They could hardly remember how long it had been since Emperor Shi Huang had not visited their home.

In the past, I didn't come here many times. Ever since my husband (A Weng) had a disagreement with the first emperor, the first emperor's footprints have completely disappeared in Fusu's mansion.

Of course, what disappeared was the favor from the First Emperor.

Ever since Fusu angered the first emperor at the beginning of the month and was completely expelled from Xianyang, Mi Ji's family had no more thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Shi Huang appeared in their courtyard like this.

Mi Ji burst into tears of excitement.

"In your own home, just call me Aunt—"

The First Emperor waved his hand casually, gave a little support, and motioned for Mi Ji to get up.

Then he turned his head to look at Zhao Ying who was surprised, and scolded with a grumpy smile.

"Stinky boy, what are you looking at? I don't know how to send some delicious food to my father, and I even made my father come here by himself——please help me in..."

"I'm afraid you're too busy today, old man—"

Zhao Ying cheerfully stepped forward to help the Shi Emperor's arm. Seeing this, Zhao Qi was hesitating whether to also go forward to help the Shi Emperor's other arm. The Shi Emperor had already waved his hand and ordered lightly.

"Let's all go in and talk—"

Zhao Ying skillfully pulled a small chair, let Shi Huangdi sit on it, and then went to greet Hei. Hei was about to decline, but Zhao Ying dragged him to Shi Huangdi's side.

"This kid asks you to sit down, so you sit down..."

The First Emperor waved his hands with a smile, stopping Hei who was struggling to stand up and refuse.

Only then did Hei sit down with his buttocks half tilted.

"The old man would like to thank His Majesty for his grace and the young master's love..."

"How can you be so polite. You serve my father with all your heart and soul every day. You can't find a chance to thank you on weekdays. Now that you're here, let's have a drink together..."

While Zhao Ying was talking, he arranged for servants to serve two new bowls and chopsticks.

Zhao Ying was calm and composed, but it made Mi Ji nervous.

She couldn't even think about why Emperor Shihuang came to her home suddenly.You must know that in my family, whether it is the new-style tables and chairs, or eating together, it does not conform to royal etiquette at all.

On weekdays, the family closed the door, and it didn't matter what they wanted to eat and use, but if it fell into the eyes of the first emperor, it would be a big problem.

If Emperor Shihuang really wanted to punish her, she would never be able to get away with a crime of disrespect.

If this is the case, it will be worse for the current Fusu Mansion.

The first emperor shook the small chair under him curiously, and then tentatively leaned his back on the back of the chair. This leaning, he found out the beauty of this chair. His back, which had been sore for many days, There was an instant of relief.

His eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Then, he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Ying on the back of the head.

"Stinky boy, I don't know how to send something good to my father..."

Zhao Ying chuckled and shrank his head.

"I'll send it to you later—"

He really prepared a set, but he had some preferences of the first emperor in his heart. If the first emperor was very resistant to these things, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

However, it seems that this may not exist anymore, and he can even get people to get out the recliners.

"This is also what you ordered..."

The first emperor knocked on the round table where he was eating.

When Emperor Shi Huang asked about this, Mi Ji was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.

"Yes, how about it? Does it feel more lively than the original way of eating with one person and one table for a few days? I just thought that there are few people in the family, and it would be too deserted to eat separately. It's better like this, a family People get together, lively and affectionate - not much better than those cumbersome rules..."

"It has nothing to do with Ying'er, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault, it's all my fault for being confused..."

Next to him, hearing Zhao Ying still unconsciously bragging about the benefits of the round table, Mi Ji was so frightened that her body went limp, and she knelt down with a plop.

The First Emperor glanced at the nervous Mi Ji and waved his hands casually.

"I said, just come here and walk around..."

It was only then that Mi Ji returned to her seat in shock. Although she could tell that Emperor Shi Huang had a special attitude towards her son, she had a long-standing awe of Emperor Shi Huang, and she did not dare to relax in the slightest.

"Father, father, do you want to eat chicken butt..."

At this time, Mi Ji was terrified, and she didn't realize that when her youngest daughter ran to Emperor Shi Huang's side, she was still holding up a chicken butt, she was almost terrified.

Then I saw Shi Huangdi suddenly smiled, bent down and hugged the little girl onto his lap.

"Thank you, Daddy won't eat it, you can eat it yourself—"

While talking, he stretched out his chopsticks, begging himself to pick up a piece of chicken for the little girl, so happy that the little girl's nose almost popped out.

"Girl, don't rub your hands against Eldest Father, come to Auntie's side..."

Seeing this scene, Mi Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed the kindness of the first emperor, and relaxed her behavior a little.He stretched out his hand and hugged the little girl back from Shi Huang's body.

"I don't usually see you give me these dishes..."

While enjoying the delicious food, the first emperor complained that Zhao Ying had no conscience.Zhao Ying didn't take it seriously either, and cheerfully served the first emperor some food while showing off triumphantly.

"I want to give it away too, but I can't. The main reason is that I don't know what to cook, and I suddenly think of what to cook. Let me tell you, Daddy, you will come to eat every day from now on. The family is together and it's lively. —nothing better than being alone in the palace by yourself..."

Shi Huang glanced at him sullenly.

I really think that I am the eldest father of ordinary people, how can I have that time?But for a moment in my heart, I was quite moved by Zhao Ying's proposal.

He himself was taken aback by his sudden thought, so he coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"The imperial court announced today the order to change defenses around the country - Meng Tian will go to Lingnan to take over from Ren Xiao, Meng Tian's mission will be replaced by Wang Ben - all this is due to you, but I haven't mentioned your name to the outside world... ..."

Having said that, Emperor Shi Huang calmly picked up a piece of waist flower and put it in his mouth, while chewing slowly, squinting his eyes, paying attention to the subtle reactions on Zhao Ying's face.

When Zhao Ying heard this, he happily picked up a chopstick mushroom for Shi Huangdi.

"Thank you, Father, for protecting—"

As soon as Zhao Ying said this, a happy smile appeared on Hei's face.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? I'll say that the young master is smart, so he must be able to understand His Majesty's good intentions..."
