Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 190 King Zhuang Xiang is dead

Although Chu State is very friendly to Qin State now, the Chu rice for Qin State is the best, especially the fragrant rice for the palace.

To Chu State, he really felt disgusted!

Sooner or later, he will destroy Chu State, and it will never exist in the future!

However, if Li Jiyang's master was from the state of Chu, it would be difficult to handle.

"When I was young, I liked to eat meat." King Zhuang Xiang drank rice wine.

"I like to eat meat too, Father!" Ying Zheng took a bite of the meat as he said it.

Standard people's preferences in the Warring States Period.

"Both of you don't know how to eat it. Braised pork with fermented bean curd is perfect with rice; braised beef is best served with white-faced steamed buns; stewed mutton is best served with radishes or green vegetables, and yellow-faced steamed buns are the best match." Li Jiyang Pull the braised pork steak into a bowl, and make some soup, and eat it with bibimbap.

This is what he learned from his classmates from the Northeast. They don’t eat this way on weekdays. They only eat it this way when they can’t eat oil and water for a long time. Today he suddenly wants to eat it once.

Seeing how big and delicious he was eating, King Zhuang Xiang even got an appetite.

"Really? Then give me a bowl too!" Ying Zheng saw that Li Jiyang was eating well, and he became interested himself. He brought a bowl of rice and learned from Li Jiyang.

Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang accompanied King Zhuang Xiang to eat, and the food was delivered to Zhao Ji, who sent them three plates of green vegetables back.

Zhao Jiren didn't go, she ate alone in the harem, not every time Li Jiyang came, she could go to eat in front, that's unrealistic, after all, it was more time to talk about political affairs, it was not convenient for her to be there.

While eating, a waiter came over.

"Ma'am, there is some movement at Madam Wang Jiao's side." As soon as the maid came in, she knelt and sat beside Madam Zhao Ji, lowering her head and reporting in a low voice, "What's the movement?" Zhao Ji casually asked while eating, as if chatting with her mouth.

It didn't show that she valued her at all. The current Wang Jiao made Zhao Ji look down on her at all. She was just a bereaved bitch.

How boring is it to kill him all at once?

Just torturing her slowly like this made her live an unhappy life, and she wanted to die!

"Her old mother came and gave her something. She said it was a tonic. We also looked at it. It was indeed some medicinal materials such as ginseng. Now she is very poor and there is not enough money for rewards. She has given away all the tonics given by the palace, and the ones from the Wang family are not very good." The servant had already paid close attention to Mrs. Wang Jiao's side, not to mention giving tonics, even a piece of cloth, he had to look at it.

"Tonic?" Zhao Ji took a sip of the soup: "I don't give it in winter, but at this time?"

It's almost May, and the weather is getting hot. Do you want to take tonic?Don’t be afraid to overdo it!

"Yes, Mrs. Wang Jiao has been a bit emaciated recently." In fact, it is more than just emaciated?Almost skinny.

Fortunately, Mr. Cheng Jiao has a fierce reputation and some contacts, so the two of them persisted in the harem, but they don't know when they will lose it.

The servants have been in the palace for many years, this kind of situation has been seen a lot!

Especially in the era of King Zhaoxiang, Prince Zhu only favored Mrs. Huayang, and other women were full of resentment!

How many women who dared to seduce Prince Zhu were secretly dealt with by Mrs. Huayang!

Mrs. Zhao Ji's matter is not enough in the harem, but Mrs. Zhao Ji is more scheming than Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang kills the other party, while Mrs. Zhao Ji makes people suffer.

"It's not been a day or two since she's been sick. She doesn't take supplements in winter, and it's hot these days, so she's not afraid of overbreeding and nosebleeds?" The maid beside Mrs. Zhao Ji curled her lips.

"Just you know?" Mrs. Zhao Ji smiled lightly and glanced at the palace maid.

The palace lady immediately understood, and continued to ask the servant: "What else did she do? Did Mr. Cheng Jiao give me anything?"

"Madam Wang Jiao took those medicinal materials herself, and didn't give them to Mr. Cheng Jiao." The servant replied.

"Accepted all by yourself? Didn't you? Normally, you look at Mr. Cheng Jiao like an eyeball, but this time you don't even give me any tonic?" The palace lady was surprised.

"Really, I dare to swear!" The servant raised his hand, and he was close to really swearing.

"Okay, don't tease him anymore, go down and continue to look at Mrs. Wang Jiao." Mrs. Zhao Ji continued to eat without affecting her appetite at all.

"No." The waiter kowtowed.

Mrs. Zhao Ji picked up a piece of pork. Seeing this, the grand maid immediately took out two gold pieces and stuffed them into the servant's hand: "Madam rewards you."

"Thank you ma'am! Thank you ma'am!" The servant was really overjoyed, and kowtowed a lot, and when he left, he even touched the gold.

It is said that Mrs. Zhao Ji has always used gold to reward people. The rumors are true, and he really made money by coming here!

"Ma'am, he's gone." The grand maid went out with the servant, and didn't come back until the servant left their territory.

"Well, pay more attention these few days." Although Mrs. Zhao Ji didn't want to kill Mrs. Wang Jiao and wanted her to suffer, she didn't want her to have a chance to turn around.

She knew what King Zhuang Xiang was like, and now she was just playing with him as a family, not love, and those women who did not have children were naturally more delicate than her, and King Zhuang Xiang also liked those women.

Since he likes it, she recommends it to him. Wang Jiao just cares too much about King Zhuang Xiang. In this Palace of King Qin, jealousy is the worst thing to do.

"No!" The grand lady went down to arrange the manpower.

But Mrs. Wang Jiao kicked out all the serving people at this time, and she crushed the medicinal materials sent by her mother's family in a medicine pestle.

"Aniang, where is the person?" Cheng Jiao came in at this time, and found that there was no one waiting inside and outside, so he couldn't help but angrily said: "These damned people are going to be lazy again?"

"Jiao'er, it was Aunt who asked them to go out." Mrs. Wang Jiao was exhausted, how could she have done such tiring work before!

Can't help panting: "You help Auntie make medicine."

"Aniang, let the servants do it, are those servants dead?" Mr. Cheng Jiao didn't want to make medicine, and he was still very puzzled: "What is this thing? Why is it so strong?"

"It's a secret medicine." Mrs. Wang Jiao wiped off her sweat, "Your grandmother got it with great difficulty. Putting it in the incense burner is very beneficial."

"Very good?" Mr. Cheng Jiao didn't believe it: "When grandma came last time, she gave me ten gold as pocket money."

In the past, it was a hundred gold. Since the Wang family lost power, the money has become more tense.

"Aniang still has a hundred gold, if you need it, you can spend it, and soon, Aniang will return to favor!" When Mrs. Wang Jiao said this, a dreamlike brilliance flashed across her face.

In order to regain her favor, she has endured it for so long, and when she is favored by the lord again, those women will not be spared!

"Then Aunt, you can do whatever you want!" Mr. Cheng Jiao took the money and left. He wanted to go out and make friends with some people, and reward some people, otherwise their life would be difficult for both mother and son.

If it weren't for his help to communicate, Aniang wouldn't be able to see grandma, and grandpa is now decadent. Of the three uncles, only the third uncle treats him as before.

Cheng Jiao didn't make medicine for his old lady, and Madam Wang Jiao didn't get angry, and continued to make it herself. She has been favored these years, and she has also received many rewards. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and now she still has a little foundation. Fight, she won't be bullied by those women anymore—King Zhuang Xiang didn't know that someone was plotting against him. In the past two days, because he was in a good mood, the people in the court obeyed a lot, so he went to the garden at leisure son.

The garden in the Palace of King Qin is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Because it is late spring and early summer, the flowers are in full bloom and the scenery is very beautiful. King Zhuang Xiang walked in front, followed by a large group of people.

The fragrance of flowers in the front is strong, and there is a burst of piano sound, a beautiful woman is playing the piano!

King Zhuang Xiang walked over with interest...

Li Jiyang was at his home, preparing to make zongzi.

Although there is no such thing as the Dragon Boat Festival yet, he wants to eat zongzi.

"My lord, what is this?" Under Li Jiyang's guidance, Chunya made rice dumplings with jujubes inside.

"This is called Zongzi!" Li Jiyang rubbed his hands together: "Take it and steam it, it's delicious!"

"Steamed food?" Chunya carried a large pile to the kitchen.

The aunt in the kitchen was inexperienced, and after studying for a long time, she steamed it and presented it to Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang dipped them in honey and ate two, packed the others and sent them out separately. The recipe is attached. The ones in the palace were wrapped in a pot separately, and they were all the same size. After packing, Li Jiyang planned to send them in. It is good to eat as a snack, glutinous rice is not easy to digest, it is more suitable for people who go to the fields to weed for lunch!

Lijiazhuang is now at the time when the seedlings are weeding. At noon, there is a meal of hot vegetables in broth, plus steamed buns, and now there are rice dumplings. Li Jiyang just went out with the packed rice dumplings when he saw teams of soldiers walking on the street. However, the entire street is under martial law, even if there are only two families on this street, it still occupies the avenue.

"What happened?" Li Jiyang grabbed a man who seemed to be a military officer.

In the Qin Dynasty, Junhou was a military officer of the sixth rank, and his subordinates commanded more than 1000 soldiers.

"Your Majesty has received an order from above to block the streets. Young Master, please return to the mansion and sit in peace." Junhou clasped his fists, and when he spoke, he seemed polite but his tone was forceful, which was actually similar to an order.

"My lord, let's go back first!" Xin Sheng pulled Li Jiyang, fisted with each other, escorted Li Jiyang with his guards, and turned back to Qin Anjun's mansion.

As soon as he got back, he went to find Gan Jing and told him about the situation outside.

"This is Xianyang City, there are not many things that can make Xianyang City martial law!" Gan Jing frowned: "I'm afraid something big will happen."

"Fortunately, General Meng Ao and the others returned to Xianyang City because of the solar eclipse." Li Jiyang was very fortunate: "Otherwise, I would be really scared of this posture."

After the solar eclipse, Meng Ao led his troops back to Xianyang City, and did not plan to go out in the second half of the year, so the current commander of the forbidden army is still General Meng Wu.

Old General Meng Ao's soldiers are temporarily stationed near Xianyang City, and wait until next year to see where they are going to fight with people.

I have to say that Qin Jun likes to fight with people very much, and he is very ruthless when he does!

"Don't go out casually for the time being, let Xin Sheng discuss with the people outside and inquire about the situation." Gan Jing refused to let Li Jiyang go because Li Jiyang was young and afraid of danger. It's a family, ask about the situation, ask if you can, don't ask if you can't.

Xin Sheng went out for a while and brought someone back with him!

Li Jiyang knew this person, he was Gao Zhanshi's long-term follower!

"My lord, my master said that something may have happened in the palace. Now that the palace is under martial law, they are not allowed to walk around and inquire about it at will, so you must not enter the palace and stay outside!" The long follower said and was about to leave: "Little one I have to go back home and get something for the master."

The reason they are looking for is also to go back and get things.

Among other things, if the clothes are dirty, they should be changed.

"Okay, be careful too!" Li Jiyang hurriedly let him go.

Butler Li Fu sent people out, and gave Yijin a shock by the way, the chief escort took him away, and he left in a hurry, and when he left, he slipped along the wall.

After seeing off people, Yang Feiying also came: "Did you find out what happened?"

"I didn't come out from the hall, I only know that something happened in the palace." Gan Jing sat there thinking about something, what could happen in the palace?

"What day is today?" Li Jiyang had a flash of inspiration.

"Today is May, Bingwu." Yang Feiying hurriedly said, "It's not such a day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came outside: "Qin Anjun, please prepare plain clothes, the lord, you are dead."

The May Bingwu mentioned in ancient books is actually the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

And on this day, King Zhuang Sai died.
