Qin Xiang

As the big event of worshiping ancestors and ghosts and gods approaches within a year, the whole family is busy.Only Gan Luo was young, and he had nothing else to do except to help write a few sacrificial texts and burn them to the ancestors.When he wants to help, the capable Yu'er will let him play on the sidelines.

But what he didn't expect was that King Qin, who had already forgotten about him, actually summoned him again.This made Gan Fei so excited that he quickly asked people to take out the new clothes that Yu'er and Gan Zhao made for Gan Luo and put them on in advance.

It was late in winter, Gan Luo put on his new clothes, and Yu'er tied his hair in a loose bun, which was tied only with patterned fur cloth strips.This kind of hairstyle has never been seen in Qin State, but it makes Gan Luo more unrestrained and wild charm.Although Gan Zhao felt a little weird, such a son looked really handsome.

Gan Luo looked up at the sky, the dark blue sky was full of stars, and the cold wind made a small humming sound.He shrunk his hands back into the warm jacket, felt the warm temperature, and then let out a satisfied sigh.Originally, the whole family wanted to wait here with him, but Gan Luo persuaded them to go back one by one with his penetrating tongue.

"Fortunately, I persuaded my mother, sister, and the others to go back. Otherwise, in such a cold day, I would have to freeze. I said don't be so anxious, but my father and sister Yu'er value it so much." Gan Luo said to himself, he I completely forgot how I was cold before.Because of Gan Mao's previous affairs, Gan Fei was extremely in awe of the status of King Qin, while Yu'er was influenced by later generations and overestimated the power of the princes.

After waiting for a long time, no chariot from the palace came, and his legs were numb from the cold.Gan Luo yawned and sat on the threshold sheltered from the wind.The only warmth in his arms was the warm bag Yu'er made for him, which made people sink involuntarily.Gan Luo's upper and lower eyelids are like lovers separated by thousands of miles, trying to close together.

He struggled a few times, but unfortunately the child was still defeated by the Sandman, so he closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

"Wake up, wake up."

Gan Luo was playing chess with Duke Zhou when someone pushed him awake.He raised his head in a daze, and saw a very well-behaved child.The child was about the same age as Gan Luo, but compared to Gan Luo's round, white and fat appearance, he looked more like a teenager.

"You are Gan Luo, the grandson of Gan Mao?" The child showed a kind smile, as if he had confirmed Gan Luo's identity, and introduced himself, "I am the son Cheng Yu, and I have specially asked my father to pick you up this time. I thought you could sleep a little longer. Forget it, I kept you waiting, let's go." Cheng Yu stretched out his well-maintained hand to Gan Luo, and pulled Gan Luo who was sitting up.

At this time, it was already daylight, and Gan Luo twisted his face, and the feeling of numbness all over his body was really uncomfortable.

"But it's numb? Let me help you get into the car."

"Thank you son, I'll just take my time." Gan Luo politely declined Cheng Yu's offer, stood and waited for the numbness on his body to pass, and then followed Cheng Yu into the bullock cart.

Although the ox cart is not as powerful as the horse-drawn cart, it is a common vehicle for the imperial court. It is stable and comfortable, with a lot less bumps.Cheng Yu wanted to talk to Gan Luo several times on the bullock cart, but because Gan Luo was unresponsive just after waking up, he didn't go on, and soon he had nothing to say, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Cheng Yu was also born as a favored son. After being cold-hearted by Gan Luo several times, his arrogance came up, so he kept a straight face and pretended to close his eyes to rest his mind.He snorted coldly in his heart, this kid really deserves to be a dog by Ying Zheng's side, he is really loyal enough.

The bullock cart slowly drove into Xianyang Palace, and the two got out of the cart one after the other. Ying Zheng had been waiting there for a long time.After saying hello to his second brother and Gan Luo, he walked to the harem with the two of them.It is not every day that the King of Qin attends the court, and today happens to be a day of rest.

"Are you still awake?" Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Gan Luo's eyes.The other party paused for a moment before turning his head to look over, his round eyes were full of confusion.Ying Zheng raised his lips and grabbed Gan Luo's little hand.

The cold made there no greenery in the palace, only the red plums and Aoxue branches blooming in full bloom.The entire plum garden is like a cold and lonely beauty, just one glance, it makes people intoxicated and unforgettable.Gan Luo's heart trembled, he was fully awake, his mouth and nose were filled with the cold fragrance of plum blossoms, sweet but not greasy.

Hidden in the depths of the Plum Garden is a simple yet exquisite pavilion. There are already several people sitting in the pavilion. They are drinking hot tea soup, eating pastries, and talking warmly and intimately.

"Zheng and Gan Luo came to visit the Queen Mother." Ying Zheng finally let go of Gan Luo's hand, and said kindly to Lu Buwei, "I didn't expect Wen Xinhou to be here too." With Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei around, Cheng Yu He didn't dare to be too presumptuous to his father, so he had to follow Ying Zheng respectfully and salute.

King Qin laughed loudly, and said: "You have kidnapped all the young concubines of the family, Wen Xinhou is not going to chase them eagerly, lest you pick the precious flower bones first."

"Your Majesty, you are really joking. The purpose of recruiting disciples is for the development of Qin. So Gan Luo is not the young son of my Lu Buwei, but the young son of Qin. If Gan Luo can help the prince, then naturally It can't be better." Lu Buwei said with a smile.

Gan Luo stepped forward generously, saluted and said, "Cao Min Gan Luo has seen the Lord, the Lady, and Marquis Wenxin."

Three and a half teenagers also sat in the pavilion, but fortunately the pavilion was big enough for six people to sit.

Before Gan Luo sat down on his knees, he was beckoned by Qin Prince Chu to let him go.He had no choice but to stand up again, and walked lightly to King Qin's side.

Qin Wang looked Gan Luo up and down with very hot eyes, which made him feel hairy, but he couldn't guess the other party's opinion.He could only keep standing upright and let King Qin examine him.

"Gan Luo, your demeanor surpasses the widow's two sons." Qin Wang said with a half-smile, but it was more frightening than the anger.Just as Ying Zheng was about to say something, he noticed the look in the eyes of his mother, Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, and he shut up reassuringly.

"I don't know if the style your majesty is talking about refers to my clothes or just me?" Gan Luo has always been bold and fearless in the face of King Qin, who holds the power over life and death.

"Although your clothes are novel, they are not worth a lot of money. Of course the widow is talking about you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise, but in Gan Luo's opinion, this style is the least valuable thing, and it's not as good as my outfit today."

"What's this saying?" Apparently, Prince Chu of Qin had been aroused by Gan Luo's curiosity, so he took the initiative to ask.

"This dress was made by my mother and elder sister. It contains a lot of caring, and it is naturally priceless. As for other things, it is more unpredictable than the moon in the sky. Confucius was born with different phases. Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was once a slave to the subjugated country, but in the end he turned defeat into victory and dominated one side. High and low, high and low, change only in a few years, so what is the so-called style?" Gan Luo's rosy mouth moved up and down. Ba Da, he refuted what the prince said, and in the end, he was complacent, "Of course, if you just look at the appearance, the boy thinks that he is indeed slightly better than the two princes."

This narcissistic little appearance made everyone burst into laughter, Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Zheng'er is indeed not as handsome as Mr. Gan Xiaolang, look at this little face that is rosy, like an apple."

Ying Zheng had a serious face. After the appraisal, he came to a conclusion that he really wanted to be bitten.

Qin Wang smiled and asked Gan Luo to sit beside him. Even Ying Zheng could only move his seat back.

"You are a very courageous child, and you are not afraid of being held accountable for your slip of the tongue." Prince Qin put on a serious face. After all, he has been the king for three years, and his aura is enough to make people tremble with fear.

Gan Luo quietly put the pastry in his hand back on the plate, and said calmly: "Because the grass people know that the king doesn't want to be King Xia Li who makes the common people dare not speak, if the king really hates me, he wants to make a random accusation If you kill me, it will be stigmatized in the history books for thousands of years. Therefore, in order to leave a good name for the king, Gan Luo must know everything he can say."

"My good fellow, from this point of view, the widow still benefits from you." King Qin resumed his smiling face. He just frightened Gan Luo, "However, the widow still wants to test you."

Gan Luo sighed quietly, and secretly withdrew his hand reaching for the plate. Why didn't the King of Qin talk to the others for a while, didn't he see that the queen and the prince were all idle?He was really hungry, because he was about to enter the palace, he didn't eat much in the morning, and he was not allowed to drink a few sips of water, at most moistening his mouth, but now his mouth is parched.

"Gan Luo would like to hear the details."

"In this way, five people, the widow, the queen, Wen Xinhou, Zheng'er and Cheng Yu, will each ask you a question. If you answer all of them, the widow will reward you; if you don't answer correctly, the widow will send you a question." You speak of guilt."

King Qin looked at the crowd, and the four agreed in unison.The king of Qin applauded loudly, gearing up to embarrass Gan Luo.

"The widow comes first, the widow comes first." Zi Chu thought for a while, and asked, "People from the other six countries say that Qin's laws are strict and not an act of benevolence. What do you think of Qin's laws?"

In fact, in Yu'er's opinion, Qin's laws are not very strict, but the laws of other countries are not strict, and many places are very loose. Without consideration, the Qin State is particularly idiosyncratic walk alone.But Gan Luo, who likes to be unrestrained, absolutely cannot directly say that Qin's laws are indeed ruthless, and Qin ruled the country by law. If he criticizes its laws for being unreasonable, he will really offend the king.

As soon as Gan Luo rolled his eyes, he became confident. He smiled and said, "This grassroots man is not easy to judge, but if I tell a story, Your Majesty will understand what I want to express."

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Ying Zichu urged.
