"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny? " Be serious, or else how can you be my bodyguards? When you get home, you two better face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for a day." Ying Zheng instantly regained his dignity, and after a round of criticism, the two women did not dare to breathe loudly.
After that, he turned around and smiled at Liji." Of course I know you don't. I'm just joking with you. Don't take it to heart. Let's go to Linzi City as soon as possible and I'll find you the best nurse. How about that?"”
" Yes, Brother Qin, you're right. Let's go to a nearby town so that the child won't have to starve." Li Ji also wanted to find a place to feed the child. Otherwise, she would feel sorry for the child if she had to starve at such a young age.
Seeing that she had agreed, Ying Zheng immediately set off for the capital of Qi State, Linzi.
At this moment, there were no longer three people, but four people. Three women and one man, no…Including a baby boy, there were five of them. Ying Zheng never lacked money, so he found a luxurious and clean courtyard for the three girls to live in.
At the same time, he went to the Royal Palace of Qi State. With the seal of Qin State that he carried with him, he entered the Royal Palace unimpeded. No one dared to come forward to stop him. The deterrence of Qin State was so powerful.
Originally, Ying Zheng wanted to go to the city to find them himself, but unfortunately, they were all women who were farmers, and he did not like them at all. Therefore, he decided to go to the palace to get them. They were clean and beautiful, and could not be compared with those rouge powder outside.
In the grand hall of the Qi Palace, the fifty-year-old King Qi sat high on his throne, his deeply furrowed brows faintly revealing a restless anxiety. His deliberately straight and upright body intertwined to form an absurd and comical air of a king.
Ying Zheng stood in the hall with his head held high, his whole body exuding a fearless air. He was a man with the seal of the King of Qin, so his posture was not ridiculous or funny at all.
"How may I address this hero? If there is anything that the King of Qin needs my help with, please feel free to speak." King Qi seemed to have put down his imperial aura and asked as an equal.
This was not strange. Those who had the seal of the King of Qin were the emissaries of the King of Qin. It was fine if they offended him, but they were afraid that he would gossip in the King of Qin's ears in the future. What if he got angry and directly sent troops to flatten the Qi Kingdom?
"You don't need to know my name. I'm here to find a woman who has just given birth and can feed you. I hope to borrow her water.”Ying Zheng said arrogantly, not putting King Qi in his eyes at all.
King Qi was clearly taken aback, and the officials below looked at each other, secretly discussing something.
King Qi clearly hadn't expected such a thing. He was already fifty years old, so he didn't have any desires. Even his concubines in the back of the palace despised him for not being able to walk properly, and he felt extremely ashamed.
One of the officials below seemed to understand King Qi's difficulties, and he was also a loyal official of Qi. After thinking for a moment, he finally came forward and reported,"Your Majesty, my bride has just given birth to a child. Perhaps she can meet this hero's needs."
Let me explain. The bride here refers to the ancient people who called their son's wife a bride. Don't get the wrong idea.
"If that's the case, then bring this hero over to retrieve my beloved subject." King Qi smiled. Finally, someone had helped him through this crisis. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
Ying Zheng also knew that King Qi was in a difficult position. Moreover, the baby was still starving, and he could not afford to waste any more time. Therefore, he might as well buy him a favor." Alright, I will remember this favor, and I will repay you handsomely in the future."
"Where, where?"
....
Ying Zheng followed this minister to his own living room. Everything here seemed very plain, which made him admire it very much. He reckoned that this was a good official who was not greedy for money.
If it was a corrupt official, this place would definitely be magnificent. The courtyards of some officials could even be compared to the imperial palace.
"Hero, please have some tea. I'll go in and inform my bride. I'll inform you then, is that okay?”The minister personally cut a cup of tea and placed it in front of Ying Zheng, then asked him what he meant.
Without even thinking, Ying Zheng said," It's my duty. You can go. I'll just wait here for a while."
After receiving her consent, the stone in the minister's heart was relieved. He was really afraid that this person was a pervert or something. What if she forcefully barged into her room and wanted to do that thing with her?
After the minister left, Ying Zheng took a look around the plain courtyard and found a few old women who were smashing things and sweeping the floor. In addition to the few guards who entered the courtyard, there were no other maids in the courtyard.
It could be seen how clean he was. If he was born in a peaceful era, he would definitely be a good official and famous throughout the world. Unfortunately, what was the use of such an official in this chaotic world?
Perhaps after he unified the world, he would take him into the Qin country and let him continue to be an official.
The scene turned to the minister. He stopped in front of a door and knocked on it. A woman's voice came from inside." Who is it?" I'm feeding the child. I'll be right there."
"Qingqing, it's me. I have something to ask of you."
"Ah... Is there anything Ah Qing can share your worries with?”The woman inside was dressed in lingerie. She put down the child who was a few months old in her hands, tidied her clothes, and put on a coat before slowly opening the door of the boudoir.
" Father, come in and talk." Ah Qing pushed open the door and warmly invited the minister to come in. However, the minister also knew that this world's etiquette, justice, and shame had to be avoided. He could not go in, or else he would be misunderstood.
Ah Qing said it casually, but in her heart, she did not want the minister to enter her boudoir.
The minister quickly shook his head and said,"Father came this time to tell you..." this... This..." Ah Qing's face turned red when she heard that." That won't do. If he uses all of it, what will your granddaughter eat?"”
" What's so difficult about that? Just go outside and find a few mothers to feed her. Ah Qing, this isn't child's play. This person is the ambassador of the State of Qin. If we anger him, I'm sure our entire family will be executed." The officials were now beginning to regret why they had to come out of the court. They really had nothing better to do.
" Okay, I'll try. Dad, you can ask him to come over and get it." Ah Qing also knew the seriousness of the matter. Anyway, it was just a little food. It was not like there was nothing.
" Alright, then I won't bother you anymore." The minister asked after his well-being and then turned around to leave.
