"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point."
Ying Zheng did not insist any further. Smiling, he opened the wooden box, revealing three jade bottles that looked like teacups.
"What a fragrant smell. What is this?”
Concubine Zhao's eyes were filled with curiosity.
After all, Ying Zheng always brought her surprises, unexpected surprises.
"This is a bath bean recipe."
Hearing that it was a bath bean, Zhao Ji's eyes were a little disappointed.
The bath bean had been around for a long time. It was a natural lotion used to cleanse the skin. Whether it was washing her face or bathing, Zhao Ji used it.
"Mother, this isn't an ordinary bath bean. I spent nearly a month selecting a large number of flower buds. I took their beautiful colors and fragrance and used the plant essence to grow hair. It can moisten the skin and add fragrance.”
"One of the bottles contains cloves, agarwood, aokie-wood, and musk-like fragrances that can be used to enhance color and fragrance. In the second bottle, I used pearls, clock milk powder, and jade chips to remove scars and make my face look better. The last bottle was used to smear on the body, which had the effect of nourishing the skin.”
"Is it really that magical?"
Concubine Zhao's small mouth opened wide in surprise. She did not expect the three small bottles in front of her to contain such good things.
"Mother, you are suspecting me!"
"Zheng 'er, you really understand mother too well. My housekeeper is indeed a genius!”
Zhao Ji was excited. There was no woman who didn't love beauty.
Especially as she got older, Zhao Ji paid more attention to her maintenance.
The present that Ying Zheng had given her was undoubtedly aimed at her weakness.
It moistens the skin, brightens it, and adds fragrance.
Which woman didn't like it?
"To give mother a surprise, this isn't much. I've already taught sister Dong 'er the method, and she will provide mother with all kinds of spices.”
"Zheng 'er, since you know so much about women, who knows how many women in the six states will go crazy for you in the future!”
"No matter how many, I only have one mother!”
"Irirreplaceable!"
"At least you know how to talk!"
Zhao Ji snorted and immediately sat up." Go wash up and sleep."”
"Women change their faces so quickly.”
Ying Zheng stood up helplessly and mumbled in a low voice.
Zhao Ji giggled and said from behind,""Zheng 'er, this is the first lesson mother will teach you. Don't easily believe a woman's words. The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is!”
……
Yin-Yang School.
"Now that he has established a relationship with the Queen and the Crown Prince of Qin State, Ying Zheng, as the heir, should be able to come into contact with that thing.”
They were both descendants of the Ji family, so the Moon Goddess asked directly.
"There's no rush. They haven't completely trusted us yet.”
Donghuang Taiyi, who was covered in a black and gold robe, said indifferently.
"Do you think they will trust us?”
The Moon Goddess's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile." Although that child is young, in my opinion, he's not much weaker than that sly old fox Lu Buwei. Even I can't tell what he's up to.”
"As for that woman, Zhao Ji, although she has big breasts and no brains, she's not a fool.”
"One day, they will take the initiative to ask us to study it.”
Donghuang Taiyi was calm, and his words were filled with certainty." In this world, other than the descendants of the Ji family, no one can open it and unravel its secrets.”
" Hehe, Lord Donghuang is still as confident as ever. But from the looks of it, Ying Zheng has placed a lot of importance on Lady Zhao. This child is not easy to scheme against, so why not scheme against her…"
"Be careful of the backlash. However, if you are really confident, you can go and try. However, you are not allowed to destroy the relationship that we have painstakingly established with the Qin country.”
Donghuang Taiyi said indifferently with his hands behind his back.
"Ha, there's no hurry."
Hearing that he wanted to push everything onto her, the Moon Goddess's eyes flashed and she chuckled. She did not reply and instead changed her tone and asked curiously,""I wonder how Dongjun is doing now?”
Because Dongjun's bloodline was purer than hers. Although he was not as old as her, his talent surpassed hers.
When he was only ten years old, he had already displayed the strength of a second-rate realm.
Furthermore, his talent in the Yin-Yang Art far surpassed hers, which made the Moon Goddess extremely wary.
"It's still early. What she needs now is to continue cultivating and become stronger. In five years, her strength will reach its peak!”
Two beams of strange light shone from under the mask. It was obvious that Eastern Emperor Taiyi had great expectations for Eastern Monarch.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to rank above the Left and Right Guardians at such a young age. His status in the Yin-Yang School was only second to his.
"Five years?"
Yueshen murmured and turned to look out the window.
However, he felt a sense of urgency.
……
Several days later.
Han's envoy arrived.
"Greetings, King Qin."
The Han Country's envoy presented the letter of credence with a sorrowful expression." Our king has decided to cede Chenggao, Gong, and other places to the Qin Country. Please withdraw your troops!”
Weakness was the original sin.
As the weakest country among the six countries, Han Country, which was close to the strongest country, if it wasn't for the fact that the other countries were worried that Qin Country would completely open the door to the East and had been supporting Han Country, Han Country would have been destroyed long ago.
But even so, in order to continue, they could only cede territory.
This was not something rare in the various countries. Even the powerful Qin country had ceded territory in the past.
"Alright, send this king's regards to King Han!”
Ying Zichu laughed and stamped the king's seal on the letter of credence.
"Prime Minister, I'll be depending on you from now on.”
Ying Zichu looked at Lu Buwei and said in a deep voice.
"I understand."
Lu Buwei bowed and replied.
A month later.
Meng Ao returned to Xianyang.
The borders of Qin extended to Daliang.
It was first established in Sanchuan County.
This line went from Hangu to the east, passing through Mianchi, Luoyang, the old capital of Western Zhou, Gongcheng of Eastern Zhou, and then to Chenggao and other important cities. It was firmly inserted between Han and Wei.
A few hundred miles to the east, they would be able to get close to the Wei Kingdom's capital, Daliang, after passing through a few important cities. A few hundred miles to the southeast was the Han Kingdom's capital, Xinzheng.
With this as the foundation, the Qin country could gradually devour Han and Wei, or attack Wei from both sides.
The Xianyang Palace was once again noisy.
"General Meng, you've worked hard!"
Ying Zichu was extremely happy and said loudly.
Meng Ao, who was over 60 years old, did not look old at all. He had seized two cities of Han consecutively, which made him even more energetic and full of vigor.”
"Hahaha!"
Ying Zichu raised his wine cup and looked around." Everyone, congratulations to General Meng!”
"Congratulations to General Meng for returning with a great victory!"
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Meng Ao raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp.
He was originally from the Qi Kingdom, and later joined the Qin Kingdom. Now, he had served as King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, and now Ying Zichu. He was the King of the Qin Kingdom for three generations, and could be said to be a veteran who had been through many battles.
Now that he was strong again, he couldn't be unhappy.
However, this was also the last battle of the year.
The autumn harvest was coming, the Qin country needed to harvest food, and the soldiers also needed to rest.
The Imperial Court also needed to rearrange their strategy.
At this moment, Ying Zheng was working at two points and one line every day.
Studying and returning to the palace.
