The next morning.
Zhao Ji rushed over early.
Compared to yesterday and the past, the current Zhao Ji could be said to be as beautiful as a flower. Her face was filled with joy and happiness.
After six or seven years of emptiness, he was satisfied once. Naturally, his entire temperament was different.
The more charming she looked, the harder it was for her to look away.
"Zheng 'er, it's time to get up and enter the palace to pay respects to the Queen.”
Sitting on the bed, Lady Zhao shook Ying Zheng.
Although they had already met yesterday, they were only officially meeting today. It was similar to the principle of a newcomer having to serve tea and greet each other the next morning after entering the sect. Although she had a son, it was her first time returning to the State of Qin, so there was not much difference between her and a newcomer.
"Mother."
Ying Zheng opened his drowsy eyes. He had been reading until very late last night, and he had also been cultivating until midnight, so he was still very sleepy. But now, after being shaken up by Lady Zhao, he had just sat up when he fell into her soft arms again, looking listless.
"This child is really…"
Zhao Ji shook her head helplessly." Looks like you were really tired yesterday. Mother helped you get dressed.”
Although she said that she was dissatisfied, her words were filled with love as she helped Ying Zheng put on his clothes.
Not long after, Ying Zheng and Lady Zhao went straight into the palace after meeting Ying Zichu.
……
Outside Huayang Palace.
The relatives of the Mi Clan stood on both sides with their heads lowered, holding their breaths and not daring to make a sound.
And in the palace.
Madam Hua Yang was kneeling in the hall. In front of her was a brazier, and she was holding a few tortoiseshells in her hand.
Lady Hua Yang closed her eyes and chanted for a while. Then she let go of the turtle shell and threw it into the brazier in front of her. Soon, the smoke curled up and gradually twisted into a few runes.
Obviously, Madam Hua Yang was not simple.
At this moment, Madam Hua Yang suddenly opened her eyes and took out the turtle shell from the brazier at a very fast speed and placed it on the table.
"Hmm? This divination?"
Seeing the turtle shell notification, Madam Hua Yang frowned and pondered.
At this moment,
"The Crown Prince's wife, Zhao Ji, has brought Zi Zheng to pay respects to Mother.”
Outside the palace, Lady Zhao appeared with Ying Zheng. She looked at the people on both sides with confusion, then said,"
"How dare you! Don't you know that the Queen is not allowed to be disturbed during her divination?”
Lord Yangquan, who was already unhappy, immediately shouted.
The others were also aggressive.
After all, Lady Zhao and her son had a weak background and were of low birth. It was normal for them to not take them seriously.
Confronted with this scene, Lady Zhao's face changed, and she could not help but pull Ying Zheng into her arms, as if she was trying to block all the threats.
Just like back in Handan, this delicate body blocked all the damage for Ying Zheng.
At the same time, he didn't have a good impression of Lady Hua Yang and her relatives.
Ying Zheng frowned as well, feeling dissatisfied. He naturally could not allow others to threaten him like this.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to speak, Lady Huayang's calm voice came from the hall," Let them in.”
"Yes."
The anger on Lord Yangquan's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by flattery. When he turned around to look at Ying Zheng and his mother, he became arrogant again." Go in."”
"Humph."
Noticing the change in the other party's expression, Ying Zheng gave a cold snort. Beside him, Lady Zhao's face turned dark as well. She hated Lady Hua Yang and Mi Shi even more.
However, the two of them still suppressed their dissatisfaction and entered the hall. They shouted again,"Greetings, Queen. Greetings, Queen."
Ying Zheng greets Grandmother, Queen."
Ying Zheng also bowed slightly. No matter what, Madam Hua Yang was his elder, and he had to show her the respect that she deserved.
Moreover, he was also very clear about Ying Zhu's feelings for Madam Hua Yang. Even his father, Ying Zichu, was supported by Madam Hua Yang.
Although this was only a transaction.
However, no matter what, the other party had still done their family a favor. Of course, Ying Zheng did not care about those Mi clansmen, as there was no relationship between them.
When he stepped into the Huayang Palace, the system's notification sounded again.
"May I ask if the host has signed in at the Huayang Palace? Yes/No?”
"Sign in."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. Reward: The Book of Victory."
"Get up."
Lady Hua Yang's gentle voice came. At this time, the palace maids also entered and rolled up the gauze curtain, revealing Lady Hua Yang who had just finished divination.
The special incense was mysterious.
"Since the king has already allowed you to acknowledge your ancestors, then I won't say anything more. However, Zhao Ji, you are now the wife of the Crown Prince, so you should learn more etiquette. Don't bring your uncouth behavior into the palace and lose the face of the royal family.”
Madam Hua Yang glanced at Zhao Ji with contempt and said indifferently.
"I…"
Lady Zhao's eyes were filled with humiliation. It was one thing to be humiliated in the State of Zhao, but she didn't expect to be humiliated again after returning to Xianyang. This made Lady Zhao furious.
But facing Madam Hua Yang, even her husband Ying Zichu couldn't help her.
It seemed like she could only endure it.
"Grandmother, Queen, that's not true. Mother is Zheng 'er's mother. Without Mother, there would be no Zheng' er. Mother abandoned etiquette and became extreme in order to protect Zheng 'er's safety. Only by doing so could she bring Zheng' er back to Qin from the State of Zhao, which was surrounded by enemies.”
Ying Zheng took a step forward and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
No matter what the future was like in the dream or what history was like, the current and past Zhao Ji indeed deserved the name of 'Great'.
He would also let Zhao Ji continue to be 'great.'
"Hmm?"
Madam Hua Yang's face darkened.
At this moment, Lady Zhao, who was standing behind Ying Zheng, was deeply moved. Her son had protected her so much, and it really made her feel that her son had grown up.
Although she was touched, for the sake of her husband and son's future, Lady Zhao had no choice but to take a step forward and pull Ying Zheng behind her, saying in a low voice,""I hope that Your Majesty will not blame me. Zheng 'er is still young. If he offended Your Majesty, it is all due to my improper education.”
"Mother and son are really close!"
Hearing these words, Madam Hua Yang did not get angry. Instead, she looked at the two of them deeply.
"BenGong is not so petty to be calculative with a child, not to mention that I have already recognized Zichu as the Di son, his son is my grandson. Since you are his wife, there is no need to address me as queen, just call me mother.”
After Madam Hua Yang glanced at the results of the turtle shell on the table, she seemed to have figured something out and suddenly said calmly.
"This, thank you, mother."
Concubine Zhao was stunned. She clearly did not expect that this cheap mother who looked down on her would accept her so easily. After she reacted, she suppressed her doubts and quickly said.
"Zheng 'er, come over."
At this time, Lady Hua Yang's gaze fell on Ying Zheng, and she waved at him.
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Lady Zhao. Seeing his mother's encouraging gaze, he stepped forward.
Seeing the interaction between mother and son, Madam Hua Yang only raised her eyebrows a few times and didn't say much. However, she looked at Zhao Ji with a more serious gaze.
According to the current situation, Ying Zheng was very likely to inherit the throne in the future, and Lady Zhao would undoubtedly become the queen or empress dowager.
Therefore, even if she was unhappy, she had no choice but to restrain herself.
She didn't care because she was old, but the Mi Family was still in the State of Qin.
