Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

130

At noon the next day, the interior of Lu's restaurant.

It is still the backyard of the restaurant, and it is still the long table sitting face to face.The difference is that the simple environment in Handan in the past has become luxurious decoration today, and the immature child opposite Zhao Weizhen is now a grown-up youth.

Yan Dan still looked the same - although she was taller and more mature, her slightly round face and harmless expression remained the same.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is zoomed in!

Over the past ten years, the current situation in the world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

But when sitting opposite Yan Dan, Zhao Weizhen felt as if he had returned to the past.

"The crown prince hasn't changed at all." Zhao Weizhen sighed, "It's still the same as when I was a child."

When Yan Dan heard this, she rolled her eyes with a smile.

He smiled and replied: "Ma'am still talking about me? Ma'am has not changed, how can she look like a mother with a child and Xia Yangjun who is in a high position? If you want to go back to Handan, the neighbors in the past will think you have taken the medicine of elixir. "

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing: "It's your sweet mouth."

Yan Dan let Zhao Weizhen tease him, but looked down at the long case with a bowed smile.

Touching the dishes in the utensils, Yan Dan couldn't help sighing: "After Madam and King Qin left Handan, I miss you all the time, and Madam's cooking skills."

In front of the two of them was a charcoal-burning pot, and what was gurgling inside was exactly the moromi hot pot.A few small dishes and a pot of steamed wine were placed beside the pot.

When he was in Handan in the past, every festive season, Zhao Weizhen would prepare pots for Yingzheng and Yandan to eat.

Back then, a few people gathered in the backyard of Lu's restaurant. Even though it was cold, the courtyard was still hot from the steam from the pot, and the two boys were laughing and playing. Although it was simple, it was full of fireworks.

Now the people are those people, and the restaurant is also the restaurant of the Lu family, but the situation is quite different.

"you……"

Looking at Yandan's pleasing face, Zhao Weizhen opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, she chose to pick a few pieces of chicken for Yandan herself as she did back then.

"Eat quickly." Zhao Weizhen said with a smile, "Try it and it still tastes the same."

When Lord Xia Yang invited the Prince of Yan to a banquet, Yu Li definitely could not share the food with him.But none of the two in the restaurant cared.

Yan Dan happily put the chicken into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then his eyes lit up.

"The flavor of the sauce is stronger than the original one," Yan Dan said, "Did Madam improve it?"

"Yes and no."

Zhao Weizhen smiled: "Nowadays, the grain is more finely ground with water, so there are fewer impurities."

Yan Dan suddenly realized.

"I think Xianyang is very lively," he said, "and it looks very different from Handan. He is a very qualified monarch."

The "he" here is naturally Ying Zheng.

Zhao Weizhen's eyes flashed.

The two moved their chopsticks slightly, and after two more rounds of wine, seeing that it was almost done, Zhao Weizhen lowered his eyes while pouring the wine for Yandan: "You are in Handan, are you okay?"

Yan Dan paused.

But he still answered Zhao Weizhen's question calmly: "Nothing has changed. Crown Prince Yan has become Zhao Wangyan. No matter how messy he is, he is still a monarch, and he will not embarrass me on the face."

The two countries of Yan and Zhao have been fighting for many years, and I think life in Yandan will not be too easy.Not being embarrassed on the face, Zhao Weizhen can probably think that he may be struggling in life and the conditions are not good.

"Fortunately, it's over."

As if afraid of Zhao Weizhen's embarrassment, Yan Dan took the initiative to laugh and said: "Everyone is dead, it can be regarded as a bad breath."

"What about King Yan?"

Zhao Weizhen asked again: "How is your relationship with your father?"

Yan Dan nodded, then shook his head again.

"No matter what, I'm the crown prince." Yan Dan said, "Nothing will happen."

After speaking, he raised his eyes slightly.

The young man's round eyes touched Zhao Weizhen's sight, he considered for a moment, and then said with determination: "Ma'am, do you know what his plan is?"

The question was about the purpose of King Qin's official Yan Dan's entry into Xianyang.

Zhao Weizhen quietly looked at Yandan's face.She didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "What does the prince think?"

Yan Dan smiled bitterly in embarrassment.

"I know Qin State will destroy Zhao State sooner or later," he sighed, "Dan is not surprised by today's situation."

Zhao Weizhen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why?"

Yan Dan took it for granted: "Zhao Yan has always had a bad relationship with him. He has never suffered a loss, and he will definitely get revenge."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

To be honest, when she heard Yan Dan say that Qin Mie Zhao was not a surprise, she felt a little bit of hope in her heart.

Maybe Yandan understands the future situation very well, maybe he can understand Qin Wangzheng's ambitions.Zhao Weizhen is not afraid that former friends will eventually become enemies. They are both sons. If Yandan is half of Han Fei, the two will compete as countries and countries, and even if they lose, they will cherish each other.

But Yan Dan said that he thought Qin destroyed Zhao because Ying Zheng had a feud with Zhao Yan.

In his eyes, the affairs between countries are the grievances and grievances between people.

Zhao Weizhen closed his eyes.

"The envoy said that if he didn't want to imprison me in Xianyang as a hostage, he would not ask me to come." Yan Dan said again: "Now that King Han is in Xianyang, maybe I will end up with him."

"Do you want to go back to China?" Zhao Weizhen asked softly.

Yan Dan smiled.

He raised the wine vessel in front of him and stared at the clear liquid in the glass: "Madam, to be honest, I don't want to either."

"I want to choose by myself. I don't want to be the prince of Yan at all. I want to be a swordsman like Gai Nie you invited to Handan." friend, isn't it good?"

"However, how many people can you defend against the injustice of one person?" Zhao Weizhen questioned.

"One sword can save one person, but I am in Handan as a hostage, but I can't save anyone."

Yan Dan was not angry either, and retorted: "Ma'am, I have been in Handan for so many years, and the friction and war between Yan and Zhao has never stopped. Do you think I have failed as a hostage?"

Zhao Weizhen: "That is the failure of King Zhao and King Yan, not your responsibility."

Yan Dan was very grateful after hearing this: "Madam is still thinking of me."

Zhao Weizhen felt a little sad all of a sudden.

Before traveling, she read historians' records and evaluations of Prince Dan, and she only felt that this person had narrow vision and short-sightedness, and asking Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Dynasty seemed to be righteous, but in fact it was for the sake of temporarily disregarding his family and country.

But now, Zhao Weizhen has seen Yan Dan when he was a child, taught him, and understands what kind of environment he lives in.

It also deeply understands why Yandan is like this.

More than ten years have passed, and the young children in Handan have grown into today's youth.

But in Zhao Weizhen's view, time seems to have stagnated on Yandan.

His character has not changed, his demeanor has not changed, even his ambition and vision have not changed.

But who can blame him?

He has been hostage in Handan all year round, without the guidance of an excellent teacher, unable to touch the corresponding political environment, and he is not a genius.A person always needs conditions to move forward, and there is no environment around Prince Dan, so what should we do?

He couldn't change the situation as "Prince Yan", so he pinned his hopes on the knight-errant swordsman. Although he was extremely naive, no one had ever told Yan Dan that it was wrong.

Time is not kind to anyone.

Zhao Weizhen couldn't blame him for not making progress.But he can't keep up with the times and is destined to be abandoned by history.

"Father doesn't need a prince at all, he just hopes that I will be more important as a hostage in other countries. But since Madam asked, and I have no choice...

"Then I still want to go back home."

After Yan Dan finished speaking, she brought the wine vessel to her mouth and sipped it lightly.

"After all, I'm from the country of Yan." He said softly, "I don't want to be a hostage anymore. After returning to China, no matter what, it's better than being a hostage."

Zhao Weizhen nodded: "After returning to Yan, you are the crown prince, so your status will naturally be very different."

"Sure enough, Madam thinks so too."

Yan Dan looked very happy: "Madam thinks he will send me back?"

Zhao Weizhen didn't answer but asked instead: "The envoy told you that he wants you to be a hostage in Qin Dynasty, what do you think, Prince?"

Yan Dan's straight body immediately collapsed.

"I...I don't know."

He was silent for a long time, and said helplessly, "I haven't seen you in so many years, madam."

Even though Yan Dan tried to hide his emotions as much as possible, Zhao Weizhen still found some tension and embarrassment in his vision.

No matter what, he came as the Prince of Yan, and he represented the country of Yan, which shouldn't be the case.

"When I was in Handan, I would hear Zhao Yan scolding him from time to time." Yan Dan seemed to be amused, but also seemed to be terrified: "It is said that Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. , ruthless and unjust, he should not have been released back then."

"Everyone in Handan is afraid of him, and fears and reprimands him like a monster."

Yan Dan paused, and then said: "But he is not like this in my memory, I don't believe it, but I'm also afraid that so many years have passed..."

After so many years, Yandan and Zhao Weizhen have not changed, but the coup has happened.

Zhao Weizhen took a deep breath.

"Now he is King Qin." She said flatly, "Prince, it is impossible for a person to remain unchanged. You and I are actually the same."

"Is it?"

Yan Dan was noncommittal, he tilted his head: "But I claim I didn't offend him, maybe because of the past years, he can forgive me and send me back to Yan Country. What do you think, ma'am?"

Zhao Weizhen didn't answer.

She looked past Yandan to the door of the inner room.

Yan Dan, whose back was facing the main entrance, stopped because of Zhao Weizhen's gaze, and then heard an extremely strange voice behind him: "Why don't you come and ask me yourself?"

At that moment, Yan Dan's expression suddenly lit up.

He got up with a whimper, and said in great surprise, "Ah Zheng!"

Salutation first, Yan Dan then turned around.

However, Yan Dan was stunned when he touched the figure of the young man who entered the room.

The smile on his face stopped when he saw a completely unfamiliar figure.But when Ying Zheng walked in, when he heard the voice of "A Zheng", his cold and sharp phoenix eyes instantly turned into a clear heat.

Ying Zheng eagerly stepped forward and grabbed Yan Dan's arm: "Dan!"
