Guard of His Majesty the First Emperor

"The king is ten and seven years old now, but there is no queen yet. Not to mention the queen, there is not even a woman in the palace. The old minister thinks this is really inappropriate." Lu Buwei once again made a statement when he was in court.

Ying Zheng said: "Why does Xiangbang always ask about the widow's private affairs? Has the widow been delayed in the past few years?"

"This—the king is diligent in government affairs, and has never delayed anything. It's just—"

"Just what?" Ying Zheng said, "It's just that I don't have a queen?"

"I'm just thinking, if the king never has a queen, how can we inherit it in the future?"

"Inheritance? Are you worried that there will be no successors for my Great Qin?" Ying Zheng smiled, "Don't worry, Xiangbang, if the widow really has no son in the future, he can pass on the Great Qin to the future."

"But Your Majesty—" Lu Buwei wanted to say something more, but Ying Zheng was already impatient.

"The widow said that it is not the time yet. When the time comes, the widow will give you a queen." After saying this, Ying Zheng directly announced his retirement.This group of old ministers had nothing to do, so they just held on to his little things all day long.

Ying Zheng returned to his bedroom angrily, and waved away before entering, leaving Arthur alone.

Arthur looked at the lock of hair on Ying Zheng's forehead that was slightly shorter than other places, and seemed to finally understand what it meant to "hair with anger".

"Your Majesty—"

"There is no need to persuade the widow!" Ying Zheng said angrily, "Just let the widow get angry for a while."

"The minister is afraid that the king will be angry."

"Then tell me, what does it matter if the widows get married or not, whether they have a queen or not?" Ying Zheng complained to Arthur after he didn't want to talk about it.

Arthur lowered his head to change Ying Zheng's clothes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.In a blink of an eye, Yingzheng has grown so big that he should have a queen.But obviously I thought so clearly at the beginning, my thoughts will only be a hindrance to Ying Zheng, so what reason do I have to stop Ying Zheng?

"Actually, Xiangbang and the others are right. You should have a queen, my lord." Arthur didn't expect that one day he would say such words, "Actually, the most lacking thing in Xianyang Palace is not a queen, but a queen. A person who can manage affairs. Now the queen mother has gone to the old palace of Yongcheng, and the old queen Huayang is too old to manage the Xianyang palace. And you are busy with government affairs every day, my lord—"

"Do you think the widow can't restrain the people in Xianyang Palace?"

"I don't mean that." Arthur quickly explained, "I just don't want the king to be too tired."

"I know it, and I don't want to blame you for such things." Ying Zheng said, "It's just that now that Cheng Yu is acting in the court, he is more willing to form a party for personal gain. I can't worry about it."

"In that case, I have an idea," Arthur said.

"What do you think."

"Your Majesty's doing these things is not as useful as keeping Mr. Chengyu away from the court. But now the officials in the court are most concerned about the Queen's affairs. Your Majesty sent Mr. Chengyu to pick all the women from all over the world and bring them back to be the queen. Compared with no one opposing."

"...You ask the widow to think about it again."

In fact, Ying Zheng has been resisting the Queen's matter in his heart.Those ministers were all talking about Qin's inheritance, but who knew that he was not Zi Chu's biological child? If they knew, would they still persuade him to find the queen again and again?Besides, Ying Zheng couldn't imagine himself living with a stranger, which is fine now.

......

There is a house outside Xianyang Palace, just under the city wall.A few years ago, when this house was first built, the people in Xianyang City felt very strange: who dared to build their house here, wouldn't they be afraid that the king would send his own guards out and burn the house with them?

Later, when people saw that no one had any reaction, they felt that this should be approved by the king.People's desire to explore has also faded.After all, casually inquiring about the royal family would cost one's life.

This house was really built by Ying Zhengrang.When Arthur brought Bai Xiaoqiu and his mother to Xianyang City, it was not appropriate to live in a wine shop.During that time, Arthur and Ying Zheng had conflicts again, and they really didn't have time to find a suitable place to live, so they kept procrastinating.

There was another time when Bai Xiaoqiu pestered Bai Shilin to go to the palace to see Arthur, but unfortunately ran into Ying Zheng.Ying Zheng looked at the tender and lovely Bai Xiaoqiu, and for some reason felt a little love for him.But it is absolutely impossible to leave such a child of non-royal blood in the palace, and knowing that they have nowhere to go for the time being, Ying Zheng ordered to build a house and gave Bai Xiaoqiu the privilege of entering the palace at any time.Of course, if Bai Shilin brought Bai Xiaoqiu in without permission, he must be punished. Because Bai Xiaoqiu is still young, let Bai Shilin bring him along.

As for the house, it's all because Ying Zheng is here at this moment.

Mrs. Bai has long been used to Ying Zheng coming to the house to sit and sit from time to time.From the beginning of panic, to now Bai Xiaoqiu dared to sit on Ying Zheng's lap, it can be seen how often Ying Zheng came.

But that's the case, every time Ying Zheng came over, Mrs. Bai was still busy, for fear that she might not be attentive.

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be busy. The king said that he won't eat here today. He will go back to the palace later." Arthur said when he helped Mrs. Bai move things.

Mrs. Bai said: "How can this be done? Even if you don't have to eat, you have to drink a cup of tea before leaving. Please don't dislike this simple tea and light food. The tea was given to your elder brother last time. I have been saving it. Let Bai Xiaoqiu drink it. That child obviously can't drink anything good, so he just likes to waste it."

Arthur put down the box in his hand with a wry smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want Xiao Qiu to drink, you can let him drink it. Although those teas are served from the bottom, can there still be shortages in the palace?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Bai nodded and agreed, "Then I'll find something that I haven't seen before, so you can try something new."

Arthur was about to say no, but then he thought of Mrs. Bai's temperament, forget it, let her go.

Seeing Arthur enter the house alone, Ying Zheng asked, "Didn't you tell Mrs. Bai to come back and rest? Why did you come back alone?"

"My sister-in-law said to go out and get some fresh things for the king. You know, I can't persuade her, so let her go."

"Then come and take a look at Xiaoqiu's handwriting. Regardless of his young age, his handwriting is much better than yours." Ying Zheng picked up a bamboo slip and handed it to Arthur.

Arthur took the bamboo slip with tears in his chest: Can you stop making fun of this matter, if you can't write, you can't write.

Bai Xiaoqiu looked at Arthur's flushed face, and said in amazement: "My lord, look quickly, Uncle Arthur's face is as red as if he had been scalded by boiling water."

"Pfft—" Ying Zheng couldn't help but laughed.

"..." That whoever, it's good to know, why did you say it.And you, what are you laughing at?

Of course, Arthur only dared to think about these words in his heart, but did not dare to say them.Otherwise, not to mention Ying Zheng, even Bai Xiaoqiu couldn't afford to offend him.

After the three of them played around, Arthur and Ying Zheng got up and wanted to leave.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Arthur, wait until you leave!" Bai Xiaoqiu called to stop the two of them, "Mother is going to make sweet oil tea."

Yingzheng drank sweet tea, and Yingzheng tasted oil tea.But what this sweet oil tea is, Ying Zheng really doesn't know.

"Is it good?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Of course it's delicious." Bai Xiaoqiu said confidently, "Others don't dare to say, but my mother's is the best."

Arthur saw that Ying Zheng was salivating, and knew that he couldn't save face and said that he wanted to stay for tea, so he said, "Your Majesty, it's also a wish from my sister-in-law. Let's stay and taste it!"

"The widow will leave later." Ying Zheng really sat down again.

After a while, Mrs. Bai really came in with a big pot: "Xiaoqiu, hurry up and find some teacups, and make tea for the king and Arthur."

Xiaoqiu went out bouncing around.

Mrs. Bai put down the pot and said, "This child is not up to snuff."

"Sister-in-law Bai, don't say that. Isn't it the time when such an older child likes to play so much. After all, Xiaoqiu is not yet seven years old?" Ying Zheng remembered before he was seven years old, "At this time, the widow is still with a group of Children play in mud, and no one says otherwise."

"How can Xiaoqiu compare with you, the king?" Mrs. Bai said as she took the teacup from Bai Xiaoqiu, "Taste it and see if you can tell what it's made of."

Ying Zheng picked it up and took a sip. He seemed to understand why this tea was called "sweet oil tea". It was definitely not what he thought at first. He simply mixed sweet tea and oil tea together. The sweetness of this tea was very pure.

"Good tea, good tea. It's just that I really can't taste it."

Arthur took a sip curiously, it was pretty good, but he could still taste it, it should be the sweetness of honey.Hasn't Ying Zheng ever had a drink?

Mrs. Bai's words quickly resolved Arthur's doubts. At this time, there is really no honey, or ordinary people really don't know that honey can be drunk.

"This is a can of sweet water that Uncle Zu got by accident. It has a light color and is thicker than ordinary water, but it tastes sweet when it melts in your mouth. Uncle Zu gave some, and I have been using it to make tea."

"I see, it's not bad!" Ying Zheng raised his head and drank the cup of tea, "I've finished the tea, I'm leaving first."

Now Auntie Bai didn't stop her anymore, she just said: "If Your Majesty likes it, come here a few more times."

......

The author has something to say: I forgot to mention that this honey is recorded in a lost medical book, and that book is from the end of Han Dynasty.There should have been honey before this, but I don’t know how to call it, so let’s pretend that they don’t know this kind of thing
