Chapter 64

"Mrs. Huayang likes handsome, obedient, and talented children. Prince Zhu has a gentle personality, but as a prince, you must not be rude."

Prince Chu sat on the golden road and gave orders to Prince Zheng.

This is the first time that Zhao Zheng went to see Prince Zhu and Mrs. Huayang, and it was also the first time that Zhao Zheng took the Golden Road.

Different from the folk name for chariots, the emperor's chariots are called "roads". The "Book of Rites of Zhou" stipulates in detail that roads are divided into five categories according to different occasions of use, namely jade roads, gold roads, elephant roads, leather roads and wood Road.

The monarch usually takes the Jade Road, while the royal relatives take the Gold Road.

Because Zhao Zheng successfully gathered Xunzi and others and passed the test of King Qin and Prince Chu, he was able to visit Prince Zhu.

Prince Zhu had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. When Prince Chu saw Prince Zhu and Mrs. Huayang, he seemed to be a completely different person, his eyes filled with Confucian admiration.

Mrs. Huayang is well-maintained and extremely beautiful.

She gently called Zhao Zheng forward: "Is this Gong Zizheng? You have been a hostage to Zhao for many years, and you have suffered."

Zhao Zhengzhou's temperament suddenly softened: "Greetings to the eldest mother."

Zhao Zheng, who had softened, was handsome and well-behaved. His usually sharp eyebrows became like a clear spring. He looked at Mrs. Huayang with trust, which almost melted Mrs. Huayang's heart.

Mrs. Huayang took Zhao Zheng's hand: "Good boy, you sit next to the eldest mother. Today is just a family dinner, no need to be polite."

Prince Zhu looked at Mrs. Huayang fondly. Whoever wins Mrs. Huayang's heart will be his legitimate son and grandson.

Zi Chu and Zhao Zheng performed superbly, playing the role of loving mother and filial piety, coaxing Mrs. Huayang into smiling faces.

However, at this moment, the attendant trotted in hurriedly: "My lord, the king has summoned me."

The smile on Tai Zi Zhu's face froze, and he seemed to be a little reluctant and afraid. He said to everyone: "Zi Chu, you are so lucky to be with your mother."

After Prince Zhu left, Mrs. Huayang lost interest and soon asked Zi Chu and Zhao Zheng to return home.

At this time, Prince Zhu was in the Qin Palace, shrinking his neck like a quail.

The King of Qin was furious in the palace: "The Zhao family is capricious and has not sent an envoy for peace talks so far. Do you want to break your promise?"

Fan Sui just handed him a secret letter from Huan upstairs: "The King of Zhao was instigated by Yu Qing and wanted to donate six cities to the Chu State to join forces to fight against the Qin Dynasty."

King Qin's face was very ugly. Firstly, Zhao Guo was treating him like a fool, and secondly, when Bai Qi insisted on attacking Handan, how could he have any dignity as a king?

It was October, and the King of Qin was angry and ordered: "Order Wang Ling to lead an army of 20 to attack Handan!"

After a short period of training, Da Qin's cavalry once again entered Zhao's territory.

From top to bottom, Da Qin didn't think this would be a tough battle.Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao's ten houses have been empty, and Qin has occupied Shangdang. When the Qin army entered Zhao, it was like entering an uninhabited country.

Everyone thought so, except Bai Qi and Zhao Zheng who were sitting in Wu Anjun's study.

Zhao Zheng was worried, so the king sent Wang Ling to go on an expedition, but Wang Ling was only the fifth official. Is King Qin too trusting?

While Bai Qi carefully read Duoyu's letters, he explained Zhao Zheng's doubts: "It is difficult for the Qin army to win this time. It has been nearly a year since the Battle of Changping, and Zhao has a chance to breathe."

Meng Tian, ​​who was shrinking in Bai Qi's arms, was very puzzled: "In just one year, Zhao State can have 20 more soldiers?"

"No. One year has been enough for the Zhao people to turn fear into revenge, and to have diplomatic relations with the other six countries again." Bai Qi's eyebrows became colder.

Although Zhao Zheng has been recognized by Prince Chu to a certain extent, it is not suitable to stay in Wu'an Jun's Mansion for a long time.

Zhao Zheng stood up to say goodbye, but before going out, he couldn't help but ask: "Wu Anjun, what did Duoyu say in her letter?"

Bai Qi looked calm and smiled calmly: "The fish stirred up a storm and wanted the swans to ride on the wind." Zhao Zheng seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand: "Can the swans ride on the wind?"

Bai Qi burst into tears while laughing, hiding the sadness in his eyes: "No."

Zhao Zheng didn't care what happened to the swan, he was only worried about the fish: "What will happen to the fish?"

"The fish will grow up, but whether it will swim into the fish tank or swim in the sea depends on..." Bai Qi stretched out his index finger and pointed upward.

Zhao Zheng bowed deeply and then strode away without looking back.

The cute Meng Tian blinked his confused eyes and asked: "Why does the fish help the swan to ride the wind?"

Bai Qi didn't answer, just touched the top of Meng Tian's hair, his eyes drifted outside the courtyard, as if he could see the little girl back then, raising her chin and saying proudly to himself: "Why can't the wind and waves I set off rise with the wind?"

Bai Qi used a carving knife to scrape off the bamboo slips sent by many fish, word by word.

"Wu Anjun, sister's letter..." Meng Tian watched with reluctance as the delicate handwriting on the bamboo slips was slowly scratched away. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about literacy and couldn't understand what his sister had written.

Bai Qi kept scraping off while telling Meng Tian a story in an old voice: "The tiger and the lion hunted the elephant together. The elephant told the tiger that he would give up one leg in exchange for his life, and the lion agreed."

"In the end, the elephant went back on his word and called his jackal friend. The tiger wanted to kill the elephant. Do you think the lion should help?"

Meng Tian tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said decisively: "If you can beat me, I will help you. If you can't beat me, I won't help you."

Bai Qi hugged Meng Tian and gave him a hug. His laughter shook his chest: "Heroes think alike. When you grow up, don't imitate your sister."

"What do you think, sister?"

Bai Qi's smile turned cold: "Help."

Zhao Zheng didn't know what Duoyu wrote to Bai Qi, but he could vaguely guess based on Bai Qi's few words that Duoyu was causing trouble again.

Zhao Zheng sighed softly, she loves to cause trouble, how can she do so in a fish tank?I need to be in a higher and more powerful position.

Zhao Zheng unfolded a scroll of silk painting. In order to paint the iron-eating beast, he was so naive that he spent a lot of money and was willing to take out the silk cloth to paint.

"Azheng, I heard that there is an iron-eating beast in Bashu. It is said that it was Chi You's mount, but it looks cute."

"If I can return to Qin, we will go to Bashu together."

"Hee hee, you are the prince of the Qin Kingdom. How can you, Aweng, allow you to leave Xianyang? Zheng, don't be disappointed. If I can see the iron-eating beast one day, I will draw it and share it with you."

Two little people, leaning against the door, looking at the bright moon in the sky, thinking about their futures freely.

Waking up from his memories, Zhao Zheng had a faint smile on his lips, and tapped the fat belly of the iron-eating beast in the portrait with his fingertips: "Little liar, how can you draw such a vivid iron-eating beast with your painting skills?" beast?"

After enjoying a rare moment of relaxation and joy, Zhao Zheng smoothed the silk cloth with his hands, rolled it up carefully, and placed it on the top layer of the bamboo slips.

The warmth in Zhao Zheng's eyes gradually faded, bringing his emotions back to reality.

Although Mrs. Huayang has a kind attitude today, Chengjiao's biological mother is from Chu, and Mrs. Huayang gave it to the young master Zi Chu.

Behind him is Zhao Ji. However, Qin and Zhao will go to war again...

Still need to find more help.
