Outside Ganquan Palace.
Ying Xiu recalled the reluctant look in Empress Dowager Qin's eyes and felt very upset.
"If father can come, I think grandmother will be very happy.”
Ying Xiu muttered to himself.
However, it was unrealistic to think about it. Everyone in the world knew that the King of Qin and the Empress Dowager of Qin had always been at odds.
The grudge between the two of them could be traced back to decades ago.
At that time, the King of Qin had just ascended the throne. Because he was too young, the power of the court was controlled by the Empress Dowager.
In addition, the Empress Dowager of Qin placed great importance on her relatives and gave them great authority, but she neglected the King of Qin.
Later on, when the King of Qin personally took over the government, his relatives restricted him in every way because of their excessive power, causing the King of Qin to blame the Empress Dowager even more.
It was not until three years ago that the King of Qin completely eliminated his relatives and took all the power into his hands.
However, the King of Qin was almost sixty years old.
In other words, he had been a puppet for decades!
How could the King of Qin not blame the Empress Dowager?
However, it was undeniable that the Empress Dowager's political skills were tyrannical. It was under her management that the Qin country could develop so rapidly!
It didn't matter who was right or wrong.
At the very least, the current strength of the State of Qin far surpassed that of the six states of Shandong!
He was the true number one overlord of the Nine Provinces!
……
Not long after Ying Xiu returned to his Young Master Manor, a servant came to report.
"Young Master, His Highness the Crown Prince is here."
"Why is Brother Wang here?"
Ying Xiu was puzzled.
Then, he quickly walked out of the house and saw a plump middle-aged man standing there.
"Brother Wang, why are you here?"
Ying Xiu's elder brother, the current Crown Prince of Great Qin, Ying Zhu of the An Kingdom.
"What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?" Although Ying Zhu's face was stern, he couldn't hide the love in his eyes.
Ying Xiu scratched his head and said awkwardly," That's not it. I was just thinking that Brother Wang, you've been helping Father deal with state affairs all day long, so I rarely get to see you."”
"However, I still miss brother Wang.”
"Hahaha, you're really thoughtful.”Ying Zhu seemed to be very happy. Although he knew that Ying Xiu was just being polite, he still felt very happy.
Even though he was thirty years older than Ying Xiu, the two of them were brothers from the same father and mother.
Ying Xiu had been living in his mansion until he was four years old, and was taken care of by his wife, Madam Hua Yang.
Both Ying Zhu and Madam Hua Yang loved Ying Xiu very much. They treated him like their own child.
It was said that an elder brother was like a father and an elder sister-in-law was like a mother.
"Brother Wang, let's talk inside."
Ying Zhu shook his head." I won't go in. This time, I'm here on my father's orders.”
"On my father's orders?" Ying Luo was stunned.
Ying Zhu looked at Ying Luo with a smile," Haven't you always wanted to practice martial arts? I'm here to bring you to see your teacher.”
Hearing this, Ying He was overjoyed.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!”
Looking at Ying Xiu's impatient expression, Ying Zhu couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
In fact, his thoughts were the same as Qin Wang Ji's. They didn't agree with Ying learning martial arts.
After all, with Ying Xiu's talent in literature, if he were to cultivate the Imperial Way, he would definitely have great achievements in the future, and he would be able to assist him in governing the State of Qin!
However, when he thought about how Ying He had carried the cauldron with all his might, Ying Zhu was shocked, but at the same time, he felt conflicted.
"Xiu 'er is extremely talented in both martial arts and literature. Moreover, this kid is smart since he was young.”Ying Zhu thought.
……
In the carriage.
"Brother Wang, are we going outside the palace?”Ying Xiu looked at the palace gate and asked.
Ying Zhu nodded and smiled." Your teacher lives in Xianyang City.”
"Who is it?" Ying Xiu's face was filled with curiosity.
"You'll know when we get there." Ying Zhu didn't say anything, which made Ying Xiu even more curious.
"Who could it be?"
Ying Xiu's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ying Zhu, who was beside him."For Brother Wang to personally bring me there, it seems that my teacher's identity is not simple.”
However, Ying Xiu didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he would be able to see it later. It would only add to his worries if he thought too much about it.
The carriage drove out of the palace and headed straight for the western part of Xianyang City.
As soon as they entered the streets of the western district, they heard a wave of noisy shouts.
"Sesame seed cake! Freshly baked sesame seed cakes!"
"Come and take a look. It's good meat!"
……
Ying Xiu lifted the curtain and looked outside. What greeted his eyes was a bustling scene.
The streets were filled with people and vehicles. There were many vendors on both sides of the road trying their best to promote their goods.
The taverns, teahouses, and other leisure places were also bustling with noise.
There were even performers on the streets who spewed fire from their mouths, crushed rocks on their chests, and walked barefoot on the edge of a knife.
The onlookers cheered.
Ying Xiu wasn't surprised by this. After all, he had already visited Xianyang City in the past few years, so he didn't have the same sense of novelty as before.
"I remember that you used to like to pester your Aunt Wang and ask her to bring you to the city to have fun.”Ying Zhu's voice rang in Ying Xiu's ears.
"How is Aunt Wang doing recently?" Ying Xiu asked.”
"It's alright. I just often sit alone and don't have many people to chat with.”
Speaking of his wife, Ying Zhu couldn't help but sigh.
Ying Xiu opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.
His sister-in-law Wang, who was also Ying Zhu's wife, Madam Hua Yang, had been unable to conceive for so many years because she had suffered a disaster when she was young and had a hidden danger in her body.
This also became Madam Hua Yang's heart disease. She was depressed all day long, and she had aged a lot.
"Actually, your Aunt Wang misses you a lot. Go and accompany her when you have time.”Ying Zhu reached out and stroked Ying Xiu's head.
Ying Xiu naturally understood Ying Zhu's meaning. Not long after he was born, his mother passed away due to illness, and it was always Madam Hua Yang who took care of him.
In other words, Ying Xiu was brought up by Madam Hua Yang.
In Ying Xiu's heart, he had long regarded Madam Hua Yang as his closest relative, and her status was equal to his mother.
"I will!" Ying Xiu nodded heavily.
Ying Zhu smiled in relief.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
"We're here."
Ying Zhu held Ying Xiu's hand as they got off the carriage. The two of them raised their heads to look at the mansion in front of them.
The mansion wasn't big, and there weren't even any guards guarding the entrance. However, the floor was very clean, and it should have been cleaned frequently.
There was a plaque hanging above the gate of the mansion.
When he saw the plaque, Ying Xiu's expression froze.
Wu An Jun Manor!
