"This…"
Madam Han hesitated.
"If you have any thoughts, just say it."
"Yes."
Madam Han nodded slightly when she heard this." Now that the position of Crown Prince has been decided, I just want to plan for Cheng Jiao's future. I want him to make some contributions so that he can have a piece of land that belongs to him in the future.”
"Your Majesty is still young, so there is no need for you to be so anxious. The matter of King Han's succession is a matter of state. This matter cannot be done just because we say so.”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang shook her head slightly and continued,""Moreover, you don't have such a deep relationship with this brother of yours that he would send someone to inform you, right?”
"This…"
Madam Han was stunned and raised her head in shock." Mother, you mean?”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang didn't say much and just shook her head slightly." I can't say for sure about this, but I will ask the King's opinion."”
Not long after.
Lady Zhao had also brought Ying Zheng to the Palace of Hua-Yang.
This wasn't them taking the initiative, but was invited by Empress Dowager Hua Yang. Other than that, there was also Ying Zichu.
"Mother invited me here today?”
Ying Zichu asked directly after they finished eating.
He knew that Empress Dowager Hua Yang would not gather the whole family together for no reason.
"There is indeed something. I heard that the new King of Han has ascended the throne and invited the people of the six countries to celebrate.”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang smiled and asked Ying Zichu.
"It seems that mother knows about this matter."
Ying Zichu shook his head slightly and sighed softly,""We haven't made a decision yet."
At this moment, Ying Zheng also raised his head, showing an interested look.
"That's right. Last year, our Qin Country only seized two cities of the Han Country. This year, the new Han King has ascended the throne. It's not safe for an envoy to go, but if he doesn't go, or if the person who goes has a low status, it will bring down our Qin Country's prestige.”
Empress Dowager Hua Yang looked at Madam Han." Madam Han, you were born in Han Country and are the younger sister of the current King of Han. What do you think?"”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Hua Yang was questioning Madam Han, Lady Zhao's face darkened.
"Old woman, you're embarrassing me again!"
Lady Zhao cursed in her heart. She was the queen, but Empress Dowager Hua Yang did not come to ask her but asked Madam Han directly. This made Lady Zhao feel that the other party was doing it on purpose.
After all, Empress Dowager Hua Yang had targeted her many times.
Although it wasn't obvious in the few times they met, Zhao Ji could still feel the alienation and arrogance.
She was born in a humble background, so she was very sensitive to such things.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Hua Yang had created an opportunity for her, Madam Han quickly raised her head, looked at Ying Zichu and said in a low voice,""Great King, it's a letter from my elder brother. He says that he wants to see Cheng Jiao.”
Looking at Madam Han's delicate and pitiful appearance, Ying Zichu's heart warmed, and his gaze became slightly warm." So that's how it is. However, Chengjiao is too young. If he goes, wouldn't the six countries feel that our Qin country is neglecting him?"”
"I see."
Ying Zheng, who had been silent all this while, also turned to look at Cheng Jiao, who was standing beside Madam Han, and his eyes began to sparkle." Last year, the Han Kingdom lost two cities to the Qin Kingdom. I'm afraid that the Han Kingdom is now filled with anger. But, what is the purpose of sending Cheng Jiao there now?”
" Although Madam Han and King Han are siblings, they share the same father but different mothers. Their relationship isn't that close. Such actions…"
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes. He did not believe that things could be so simple.
The six countries 'desire to mess with Qin had never died out.
"Father, I can definitely do it.”
In more than a year, Cheng Jiao had also grown. It was unknown if someone had taught him or if he had some idea, but he suddenly said with an excited expression.
"Confidence is a good thing, but you can't be blind.”
Ying Zichu neither refused nor agreed. As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Ying Zheng and asked gently,""What is Zheng 'er thinking?"
Hearing the question, Ying Zheng raised his head and said solemnly,""Father is polite. No matter what, the Han Country is one of the seven heroes of today. Courtesy cannot be abandoned. One must have sufficient status to send an envoy to the Han Country. However, who is sent as an envoy is an internal matter of my Qin Country.”
Ying Zheng's words were calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, Empress Dowager Huayang and Madam Han could not help but raise their heads to look at him, their faces filled with astonishment.
The smile on Ying Zichu's face grew wider. He was increasingly satisfied with this son of his," Zheng 'er, tell me in detail.”
Beside her, Lady Zhao also revealed a smile on her face. The unhappiness she felt because of Empress Dowager Hua Yang's neglect had long disappeared. No matter what Empress Dowager Hua Yang did, it could not change the fact that she had a good son.
His biological son.
Seeing that her son was able to catch the attention of the king, Lady Zhao became even happier.
"Yes, Father."
Ying Zheng bowed slightly, raised his head and said loudly,""Qin seized the land of Han, and the King of Han has just succeeded to the throne. Even if he wants to stabilize the throne and win over his subjects, he still has to respond to Qin.”
"Thus, this time, when the envoy travels, he will definitely encounter difficulties. The envoy cannot bring down the prestige of my Qin country, nor can he lose his manners. Thus, the person who sends Han must have a high enough status to display the might of my Qin country.”
"Oh?"
Ying Zichu's eyes lit up, and his interest was piqued." Then Zheng 'er, who do you think we should send?”
This son of his had really surprised him time and time again. The words he had said today were no less than those old foxes in the imperial court. If he passed away in the future, he could really trust Ying Zheng to teach the Qin State.
Empress Dowager Hua Yang, Lady Zhao, and Madam Han also noticed.
Even Cheng Jiao was staring at Ying Zheng with his eyes wide open. He was still so young, and although he was more mature than ordinary children, he still did not understand what he was saying. He just looked so powerful.
"It's me."
Ying Zheng looked around, and finally met Ying Zichu's eyes, and uttered a single word firmly.
"What?"
As soon as he said that, Lady Zhao's expression changed drastically. She was immediately shocked and furious." No! Nonsense!"”
Zhao Ji's heart ached for her son.
Cheng Jiao was not her son, so she did not care. Moreover, Cheng Jiao was the nephew of King Han, so even if he was humiliated, he would not be in danger.
But Ying Zheng was different. Ying Zheng was his son, and had nothing to do with the Han Kingdom. He was also the Crown Prince of the Qin Kingdom. What if the Han Kingdom's people suddenly lost their minds and attacked Ying Zheng? Wouldn't they be in a life-and-death crisis if they were in an enemy country?
This was even more dangerous than supervising a battle on the battlefield.
Lady Zhao did not expect Ying Zheng to be so capricious, and always liked to run to dangerous places.
Empress Dowager Hua Yang was also surprised, and she looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated gaze.
She believed that with the wisdom that Ying Zheng had shown all this time, he must have known the danger of her trip.
Even if this possibility was very small and Han Country did not have the courage to do so, there was always a chance.
And Ying Zheng was now the Crown Prince of Qin State, so there was no need for him to do this.
But…
Ying Zheng had done it, and his courage was truly astonishing.
Even Madam Han's red lips parted slightly.
Cheng Jiao, who was standing at the side, was stunned. His mood was low, and at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable.
