After being read by the First Emperor, I became the favorite of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 32 Zhao Gao becomes an official
After hearing what Yun Jiao said, Ying Zheng was not surprised. He just remained silent for a moment and then smiled softly: "With an open mind, it's no wonder that he can raise such an amazing woman as Jiao Jiao."

Yun Jiao's cheeks heated up and she whispered: "I'm not."

[Oh, I'm just an ordinary little girl. How can my ancestors say she's so great? 】

Ying Zheng laughed out loud and rubbed Yun Jiao's head: "It's late at night, let's go and rest."

Yun Jiao nodded, and the two returned to the palace together.

After returning to his dormitory, Ying Zheng took out the notebook and read it carefully.

The edge of the notebook had been worn very smooth. Ying Zheng turned over half of it and landed on the last few pages. He carefully rubbed the words on it with his fingertips.

After a moment, he carefully put the notebook away.

On the other side, after Yun Jiao returned to the house, Zhao Gao brought her hot water: "Sister, the foot bath water is ready."

"Ah... you go and rest in Chang'an, I'll do it myself." Yun Jiao was studying her newly found unofficial history of the Warring States Period. When she saw Zhao Gao's move, she hurriedly spoke.

My dear, I don’t dare to let future powerful ministers wash her feet.

"There are some medicinal materials added to this water. Sister has been busy all day today, so a quick dip can relieve fatigue and keep the body healthy. What's more..." Chang An spoke softly,
"Didn't I help my sister prepare these before? Does she dislike me?"

Having said this, Zhao Gao raised his peach blossom eyes and looked at Yun Jiao without blinking, looking pitiful.

Yun Jiao coughed: "No, no."

It’s not that I dislike it…

Zhao Gao observed Yun Jiao's face again and again, and after confirming that she was telling the truth, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised a high smile on his lips, then took out a food box, opened it, took out a plate, and presented it like a treasure. He handed it to her and winked at her: "Sister, look, what is this?"

Hearing this, Yun Jiao subconsciously lowered her head and looked over, her eyes suddenly brightened: "Braised chicken legs!"

After getting acquainted with everyone, Yun Jiao tried her best to make modern delicacies for them, among which her favorite was chicken drumsticks.

Fried chicken legs, grilled chicken legs, steamed chicken legs, braised chicken legs, braised chicken legs, white-chopped chicken legs...

Basically, Yun Jiao could think of all the ways to make chicken drumsticks, and she had tried them all, so everyone learned it through their own eyes and ears.

But Zhao Gao remembers being the most serious and often making delicious food for Yun Jiao.

"I borrowed the stove from the imperial dining room to cook it. I don't know if it tastes good. Sister, try it." Zhao Gao looked at Yun Jiao expectantly.

It was supper time now. Yun Jiao picked up a chicken leg and took a bite. Her eyes widened the moment she took a bite.

Don't say it, really don't say it!
Not bad!

"It's delicious! Chang'an, you want one too, I can't finish it!" Yun Jiao picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into Zhao Gao's mouth.

Seeing Yun Jiao eating with crooked eyebrows, Zhao Gao also raised the corners of his lips, bit the chicken leg and started eating with her.

After a while, Yun Jiao soaked her feet. She was so sleepy that she lay down on the bed in a daze, covered her with the quilt haphazardly, and fell asleep.

Zhao Gao tucked the quilt for Yun Jiao, looked down at Yun Jiao, and slowly stretched out his hand towards the delicate face, but paused in mid-air, and then retracted after a moment.

The young man's peach blossom eyes sparkled with tiny glints.

They said that Yun Jiao came to this world for the sake of the king, for the great land of Qin, but here with him——

His life for the past ten years had been gloomy and gloomy. Living in the mud, he had never expected anyone to give him a hand.

Until that year, the little girl who suddenly broke into the courtyard, drove those people away, and pulled him out of the swamp.

The cluster of light that fell in the courtyard that year was so beautiful that it still seemed like yesterday to him and was still fresh in his memory.

So he no longer drowns in the dark and boundless deep sea of ​​despair, he can have friends, and he can not be called a eunuch.

In order not to be disliked by others, he was cautious for a while, fearing that he would fall back to the bottom of the sea again.

Now he no longer has such worries, but at the same time, that dead heart is like weeds meeting the spring breeze, and the expectations and desires that cannot be expressed in words are growing crazily like weeds meeting the spring breeze.

He hoped that his sister could look at him more, whether it was for a moment, a breath, or even a moment.He was satisfied with just one more look at him.

But my sister always seems to focus on others.

The king, the eldest son, the Meng brothers, the great sons of the Mohist family...

If... if one day, he could be powerful, he could be like those people, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain...

"Sister...will you look at me more?"

The young man's murmur drifted away in the evening wind, and no one knew about it in this corner.

After gathering his thoughts and seeming to have made up his mind, Zhao Gao took a deep look at the sleeping person on the couch, picked up the food box and turned to leave.

……

June [-]th.

The air was particularly dull today. Fusu, Mengtian and his party thought it was going to rain, so they did not practice martial arts in the courtyard. Instead, they sat together in the corridor, making tea and chatting around the stove.

Hu Hai felt bored and ran to the next yard to play alone.

The grass beside the pond was particularly slippery today, and the dragonflies on the grass suddenly caught Hu Hai's attention.

The little boy looked at it curiously for a moment, then walked over with his short legs to pounce on the dragonfly.

Ying Zheng and Yun Jiao were sitting under the corridor here. When they heard the children's giggles, they both looked over.

Yun Jiao used her hands as a pillow and lay on the railing, looking at the little carrot head, her heart filled with maternal love.

[Ah, the little cub is so cute! 】

[His face looks so soft, I really want to pinch it. 】

[Hey, why did the kid run to the pond? The ground there is slippery! 】

Noticing something, Yun Jiao immediately stood up and ran over——

But at this moment, Hu Hai failed to hit the dragonfly, but he slipped into the pond due to inertia, and immediately began to flutter and cry loudly.

Yun Jiao: "!!"

Ying Zheng also shrank his pupils, stood up and shouted sternly: "A Xiao, save people!"

As soon as Ah Xiao took a step, someone jumped into the water first, swam towards Hu Hai, picked him up in his arms, and took him to the shore.

It is Zhao Gao.

Yun Jiao hurriedly ran over to catch up, but she didn't expect that she also slipped and almost fell.

She looked down at the grass and frowned.

[This grass... is ridiculously slippery. 】

Over there, Hu Hai had been brought ashore. When Fusu and his party heard the sound, their expressions changed.

When Hu Hai saw Fusu, he immediately threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.

Fusu comforted him with a distressed look on his face, and took his younger brother to change clothes.

Yun Jiao pulled Zhao Gao up and looked him up and down: "Are you okay?"

Zhao Gao felt warm in his heart and shook his head.

Yun Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to speak, but Ying Zheng had already come over and took her away from this dangerous place. She turned her head to look at Zhao Gao with a pale expression: "You saved my son, what do you want?"

Zhao Gao suppressed the flash of light in his eyes, knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed and said, "I know a thousand characters and understand the laws of Qin. I don't seek glory and wealth, but I hope I can repay the kindness of the goddess in upbringing me."
