A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Zheng'er is twelve years old, and it's time for someone to teach him martial arts and archery."

Zichu said with some sigh

"I should have asked the master to teach me earlier."

He looked around at the guests present and asked Meng Ao

"Is General Meng willing to teach the orphan's son? The general has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has made great achievements in battle. He is no problem leading troops in battles. If Zheng'er can be taught by the general himself, he will definitely achieve something!"

How could Meng Ao shirk it? Although he didn't know whether the newly arrived Ying Zheng had the talent to obtain his true inheritance, nor did he know whether he had any talent or learning, but the monarch naturally agreed when he asked.

Seeing him stand up and clasp his fists, he said

"The king trusts the general so much. The general will do his best and give everything he has learned in his life to the young master!"

Zhao Lijiang and Lu Buwei were secretly happy. Meng Ao was highly valued by the king and was one of the most prestigious generals in the Qin State. He was specially assigned to teach Ying Zheng today. He must have taken a fancy to this child who had just arrived in the Qin State. Father and son Although they haven't seen each other for more than ten years, how can this blood relationship fade with time?

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Ao and saw that his temples were gray, but he was quite majestic. Just as he was about to stand up and say thank you, Yue Ji spoke.

Her gentle and sweet voice was particularly harmonious with the music played, but Zhao Lijiang couldn't like it.

"It's a rare opportunity for Zheng'er to be taught by the general himself, but..."

She glanced at Zichu and said softly and slowly

"General Meng is already old. Originally, Xiao'er rode with General Meng and shot arrows, leaving him to take care of the two children alone. Is it... that he is a little too reluctant to do so to the general?"

She looked at Zi Chu tenderly, and the two of them met each other's eyes. These words made Zhao Lijiang, who was relatively calm before, unable to sit still. She was about to get up to retort, but saw Lu Buwei wink at her, He signaled her not to say anything.

The anger had not yet subsided, but it was burning even more fiercely because of Yue Ji's words.

"Look at me, I forgot about this."

Zichu smiled and said pleasantly

"How can I forget that General Meng is over seventy years old? If you, General, are allowed to take care of these two young men by yourself, I am really afraid that the General will be tired!"

Then Zichu thought about it and asked Meng Tian

"Meng Tian, ​​are you willing to take Zheng'er to ride horses and practice swordsmanship with you? Although you are young, you are good at martial arts and very upright. It just so happens... you are not much older than Zheng'er, so the two of them also have something to talk about."

Originally, he could only get Meng Ao's true biography, but because of Yue Ji's words, he could only follow Meng Tian, ​​a young man, to dance with swords and guns, which made Zhao Lijiang dare not speak out.

At this time, Ying Zheng stood up. He glanced at Meng Tian, ​​saluted to Zi Chu, and asked slightly nervously in his unique low voice.

"Father...King..."

It's always a bit awkward to shout these two words.

"My son is here this time and he has brought with him a master of martial arts. If my father agrees, I can practice sword practice with him."

Zichu was slightly confused and asked

"But that young hero who protected you on the way?"

"Yes, his name is Wang Jian. He should be waiting outside the palace at the moment."

Zichu was overjoyed and hurriedly waved and said

"Look at me, how could I forget the young hero who saved my son? Quickly, let him enter the palace and give him a seat."

Wang Jian was ordered to enter the main hall. When everyone saw his majestic appearance, they all marveled. He was a young hero, so heroic!

"What's your name? Where do you come from?"

Zi Chu saw that Wang Jian was very handsome, and indeed did not have the temperament that ordinary people could cultivate.

Wang Jian showed no signs of stage fright when facing the emperor and the civil servants and generals present.

"Back to the king, the grass people were originally the people of the Qin State. They just traveled around the world with their father and were lucky enough to get to know the young master."

Seeing that he was humble and polite, Zi Chu was very satisfied.

"This time Zheng'er comes back, thanks to your protection all the way. What kind of official position do you want? If it's reasonable, I will definitely agree!"

These words made Ying Zheng feel nervous. He brought Wang Jian back, part of the reason was naturally because of what Shi Mi said, but after the two got along, Ying Zheng himself also admired Wang Jian's chivalry and courage, and hoped that he would He can stay by his side to assist him in completing his great cause, but now that his father has spoken and let him choose his official position, I wonder if he will still want to stay by his side!

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian nervously. Wang Jian was silent for a moment, then looked at Ying Zheng and saw that his smile was somewhat free and easy, and then he said

"As far as the king is concerned, the common people are not returning to Qin to ask for an official position. If the king can agree, the common people would very much like to stay with Young Master Ying Zheng."

"Is this what you want? If you want a golden official position, you can ask for it. You save the life of an orphan and you will be rewarded!"

Wang Jian's answer was beyond Zi Chu's expectation, and he thought he heard it wrong.

But Wang Jian still shook his head with a firm tone.

"Your Majesty, the common people don't want any rewards. They just want to stay with Young Master Ying Zheng and protect him."

This answer made Zichu and Ying Zheng very satisfied. Ying Zheng was very moved. Seeing that he was loyal to him, he knew that the person recommended by Shimi would not be wrong!

"He is truly a young hero!"

Zichu clapped his hands, very satisfied

"If you want to accompany Zheng'er and be his personal bodyguard, how can Gu not agree? I heard that your martial arts skills are world-class, so you can teach him. In this way, General Meng Ao won't have to suffer."

At the first banquet in Qin Palace, some people were happy and some were angry.

Tonight is Zhao Lijiang's first night back. She is no longer the former singer Zhao Lijiang who relied on her dancing and beauty to make money. In the blink of an eye, she has become the concubine of King Qin, Zhao Ji.

But on the first night back, Zichu didn't come to look for her, but went to Yue Ji's place.

This was something she expected.

The palace was luxurious, with a room full of servants to dispatch, but Zhao Lijiang's heart felt empty and uncomfortable.

The person is back, but Zichu's heart probably won't come back.

She sat alone by the table, looking at the rare treasures that had been rewarded, and she was in a daze.

Lu Buwei came to greet him. Seeing that he was in despair, he naturally comforted him with a few words.

"The monarch has always been in poor health. He is usually taken care of by Yue Ji. You have just come back and you don't know how to take care of me on a daily basis. You don't know the monarch's habits either. Just wait until you get to know him better."

Zhao Lijiang made a disdainful mocking sound in his nose, then rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Buwei, asking coldly

"Didn't Lu Xiangguo say that he should keep a distance from me when we get to Qin? Why are you coming to my palace again now? I'm not afraid... this person is too discerning..."

Seeing that his attitude was not good, Lu Buwei consciously asked for trouble.

"I'm afraid that you'll do something impulsive if you're angry, so I try to persuade you."

"Angry? You don't think that I, Zhao Ji, will be jealous of that Yue Ji?"

Zhao Lijiang sneered a few times and covered her mouth, as if Lu Buwei had just told a funny joke.
