"Little Lord, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce us?”" Ji Wuchen?" a young man around 17 or 18 years old asked with a smile. His small eyes were shining brightly as he carefully sized up Ji Wuchen. The few noble children behind him were also curious.
Cheng Jiao smiled and said,"He's my brother's teacher. My brother's mother and I were able to return home safely because of him." Then, he returned and introduced,"He's my brother.""This is Hui, his father is General Bi.”
Ji Wuchen smiled politely, while the disciple named Hui said in a strange tone,""Since he is Young Master Zheng's teacher, why didn't the king bestow him with an official position? Since ancient times, I've never heard of such a thing.”
Ji Wuchen looked up at Hui, smiled, and waved his hand." Wang Ben, throw him into the Wei River. He's not allowed to come ashore for an hour. If he dares to come ashore, he'll be given an extra hour."”
Wang Ben was already displeased with Ji Wuchen's sarcastic remarks, and he thought that Ji Wuchen would be more forgiving in such an important occasion, but he wasn't as bold as he thought. He walked toward Hui excitedly, and Hui was startled. He pointed at Ji Wuchen and said,"Who do you think you are? How dare you throw it…Aiya, Wang Ben, what are you trying to do?!!!”
Cheng Jiao looked apologetic. He wanted to apologize for Hui, but Ji Wuchen had already turned around and left. He looked in the direction Ji Wuchen had gone, and his expression was a little unnatural. After all, he was a young master of the royal family, and he treated him so politely. How could he be so condescending?
Not long after, the blessing ceremony began. The king personally led the ceremony, and the nobles carried it out with courtesy. As for Ji Wuchen, he came from the technological era in his previous life. Naturally, he did not believe in these ghosts and gods, so he hid far away.
An hour later, the blessing ceremony was completed. Then, it was time for the open-air banquet." Teacher, you're here. I've been looking for you. The banquet is about to begin. Shall we sit?"”
Ji Wuchen was lying in the grass bathing in the spring. Hearing Ying Zheng's voice, he opened his eyes and asked,""Do you still remember what we said that day?”
"I dare not forget a word."
"That's good. Let's go."
The banquet was an open-air one. The King sat on a high platform, with Lady Zhao on his left. The first row below him was for Young Master Zheng and Cheng Jiao, and the second row was for Prime Minister Lu Buwei and Ji Wuchen. Further out were four rows of seats, and those seated were also the nobles and ministers, as well as the children of the nobles and their families.
According to the ranking system, Ji Wuchen, as the teacher of Young Master Zheng, was only a commoner, and thus, was not suitable to sit here. But, Ying Zheng begged his mother to plead for mercy in front of his father, which was why this arrangement was made. Of course, the other courtiers had some opinions about this arrangement, and even Lu Buwei was a little uncomfortable.
Firstly, he was the prime minister of the State of Qin. He was below one person and above tens of thousands of people. Ji Wuchen was just a commoner. It would be disrespectful to sit with him.
Secondly, deep in his heart, he thought that Ying Zheng was his son, and that he was always helping Ji Wuchen, which was a bad sign.
However, he also knew that Chu Jun's matter was the most important thing now, so he could only suppress this matter in his heart.
King Zhuang Xiang of Qin had been unwell for some time, but he seemed to be in good spirits, probably because of the unusual situation today. During the banquet, the princes and ministers toasted him many times, and he did not refuse.
"Your Majesty, you are not feeling well. Drink less.”Concubine Zhao reminded him in a low voice. Prince Zhuang Xiang nodded with a smile and put down the half-empty glass of wine. He then chuckled and said,"Drinking like this is a little monotonous. Why don't we have a drinking game?”
All the ministers agreed, and Ji Wuchen winked at Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei understood and stood up,""Your Majesty, we can have a drinking game, but there are too many people on this trip. I don't know how long it will take for us to go around. Why don't we change it to a simple one?”
King Zhuangxiang nodded. Seeing Lu Buwei mention Wang Jian, he smiled and said,""Doctor Ling, since the Prime Minister asked you, you can tell me one.”
Wang Jian pondered for a moment and said," This year is different from previous years. There are many people. No matter what game it is, if everyone does it once, I'm afraid it won't be finished even by nightfall. However, since everyone is interested, why don't we let the two young masters do it for us? What does Your Majesty think?"”
King Zhuang Xiang nodded and asked,""That's not bad, but what can the two of them do?”
Wang Jian cupped his hands and replied," A few days ago, I went to the palace to see Your Majesty. In the garden, I saw Chengjiao gongzi reciting the laws of Great Qin. I heard that Zheng gongzi is also studying the laws. The two of them are noble gongzi, and they are quite familiar with the laws of Great Qin at such a young age. This is a blessing for Great Qin. Your Majesty, why don't you use the laws as a topic to test the two gongzi? Not only can it increase the fun of the banquet, but you can also check their mastery of the laws of the Qin Dynasty. It's killing two birds with one stone!"”
