"Husband, Zheng 'er is still young. He's only eight years old this year.”
When she heard that her husband had sent Zheng 'er to reward the army, she felt that it was somewhat unbelievable and advised softly.
"As Zheng 'er's father, I'm very clear about his background.”
"Don't worry, Zheng 'er will complete the reward for the army. I believe in his ability.”
Ying Rui understood that Mistress Zhao was acting out of her mother's instinct. She wanted her eldest son to grow up without any worries. She didn't have any intention of accusing him, so she explained patiently.
"Husband, you shoulder the heavy responsibility of Great Qin's hegemony. Zheng 'er needs to share some of the burden, and I know I shouldn't say it.”
After hearing this, Zhao Ji's heart ached for her husband, and her pretty face was filled with obvious apology.
Her husband was born in an ordinary family. His current status was achieved through his military achievements. He rose step by step from the battlefield and changed his fate.
"It's fine. There's no need to say too much between us.”
As they spent more time together, Ying Rui's opinion of Lady Zhao changed, and his tone became much gentler.
He trusted and supported her unconditionally at all times. What was rare was that she could understand everything. With these, it was enough for him to dote on her.
"Husband…"
Back then, she felt that meeting her husband was her greatest fortune. Her phoenix eyes were filled with endless gentleness.
"Young Master, that is the temporary encampment of the 5,000 palace guards.”
Wang Ben stopped in front of the encampment, probably afraid that he would scare the young master off.
After all, he was the eldest son of the Crown Prince. It would be difficult to clean up the mess.
"General Wang, this time, I have come to reward the soldiers on behalf of my father. It is unreasonable for me to stand here.”
Although he did not want to use his father's name, Little Ying Zheng knew that if he did not say so, he would not be able to go to the camp to reward the soldiers of the Royal Forest Guards.
Therefore, at most, they would take him to other places to take a look. They couldn't directly face the main soldiers in the camp.
"Alright, since Little Lord insists on coming to the camp, this way please.”
Wang Ben had to follow the Crown Prince's instructions, so he had no choice but to bring the young master into the camp.
"Thank you, General Wang."
Seeing this, Little Ying Zheng did not retort like a child, for the truth was the truth.
"I hope you won't be frightened by the soldiers 'imposing manner.”
All of the Imperial Guards were elite soldiers, and they had been on the battlefield at least ten times.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
When they arrived at the camp, thousands of soldiers were training their fighting skills. The sound of the word 'kill' was like a real killing intent that struck a person's heart.
"This palace guard is indeed worthy of being father's direct army!”
Before he could see it, a biting cold aura had already swept over him. Little Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and held on, not wanting to go back with a disheveled face.
She had not only lost her own face, but also her father's.
"This young master seems a little different.”
Wang Ben noticed that his young master was still holding on and didn't say anything. He was surprised that he wasn't scared by the murderous intent.
Since no one was sent to inform the soldiers who were training, the killing intent released was real. Even ordinary soldiers could not withstand it.
However, the eight-year-old young master actually managed to endure it without being shocked. His willpower could be said to be quite strong.
"Perhaps, this is the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince sent the Little Lord here.”
Wang Ben was impressed by the fact that the young master remained silent as if nothing had happened to him, even though he was being assaulted by the murderous intent.
"Soldiers, this is the eldest son of His Highness the Crown Prince, the Little Lord. He has come to reward you on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince.”
Standing on the platform, Wang Ben made an empty seat and introduced the young master to the soldiers.
"Greetings, Little Lord…"
Hearing that it was the eldest son of the Crown Prince, the soldiers stopped what they were doing and said in unison.
Although it sounded polite, it was not the slightest bit different from the usual calmness. It was obvious that it was for the sake of the Crown Prince.
"Soldiers, even though I haven't come into contact with the army, I know what it means to be a soldier. They are Great Qin's weapons for the country and the people.”
Facing thousands of eyes, Little Ying Zheng, who had never seen such a scene before, tried his best to maintain his composure.
In fact, his palm had already been squeezed into a ball under his wide and long sleeves.
"Little Lord, you have the demeanor of a Crown Prince. You didn't have any stage fright in front of so many people.”
Great Qin's Refined Weapon represented too much honor and meaning, and it caused all the soldiers present to change their views of the Little Lord.
At the very least, they would not be as polite as before. They all said this in their hearts.
"There is a limit to his words and actions. What kind of teachings did the Little Lord receive to be so mature and steady?”
Wang Ben found it hard to believe that an eight-year-old young master would say something like this to improve his relationship with the soldiers and elevate his status.
Even among the officials in the court, a small number of people might not know how to respond and use the simplest words to close the relationship.
"Today, I represent my father to reward all the soldiers for their recent arrival.”
Even though he was extremely nervous, Little Ying Zheng did not panic after letting out a breath. Instead, he spoke clearly.
"We thank Your Highness the Crown Prince and the Little Lord for their rewards. It is our duty to enter the Eastern Palace.”
Wang Ben took the initiative to lead the rest of the soldiers to receive the reward from the Crown Prince.
"Zheng 'er did it, he did it, father.”
Listening to the shouts ringing in his ears, Little Ying Zheng's body and mind relaxed completely. He had completed the task of reward beautifully on his first occasion.
"Little Lord, the matter of rewarding the soldiers on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince has ended. I will escort you back.”
After his outstanding behavior, he had won the basic respect of Wang Ben and many other soldiers, and he was no longer overly polite.
At the age of eight, facing thousands of soldiers alone without stage fright, and even withstanding the killing intent condensed during training, it was indeed impressive.
"Thank you, General Wang. I should go back and report to my father.”
After the intense mental stress, Little Ying Zheng had grown up quite a bit. In the future, when he saw similar situations, he would not be able to maintain his composure like today.
"Little Lord is too polite. Please."
Wang Ben and a few soldiers escorted the young master back to the Crown Prince's residence.
"Little Lord is already like this now, let alone when he grows up. He's really amazing.”
"Like father, like son. How can the descendants of the Crown Prince be inferior?”
"That's true. The Crown Prince is not like the other royal children. He relied on his military achievements to rise bit by bit.”
When Wang Ben escorted Little Ying Zheng away, the soldiers of the palace guards who witnessed the whole thing discussed among themselves, and they realized that the young master was not as simple as he seemed.
Come to think of it, His Highness the Crown Prince was such a person, and the Little Lord was not much worse.
