Chapter 145: Even in the Qin Dynasty, are you still forced to get married?
Forced marriage, induced childbirth.
Why have I traveled to the Qin Dynasty and still have to face this kind of problem...
"Xiao'er, are you annoyed with my mother? She will go back to Chang'an Palace right now and won't bother you here anymore."
Ying Chengyu showed a reluctant smile and squeezed Han Ji's shoulders with the unique Ying Chengyu internal massage technique.
"Mom, I didn't mean that. I have a bet with Zhao Xianglu that we cannot have any offspring."
Han Ji threw away Ying Chengyu's hands and stood up suddenly, her face filled with aggrieved words, "You lied to me."
Ding Xiang, who was waiting beside Han Ji, lowered her head slightly and intertwined her little hands.
Why is my mother looking at me like this?
My mother was not present when the bet was signed, so she probably didn’t know the specific content of the bet.
Ying Chengqiu accompanied him with a smile.
"Mom..."
"Ten years ago, Zhao Ji seduced Lu Buwei's confidant Lao Ai and launched a mutiny in Qinian Palace. This disrupted Lu Buwei's plan and forced Lu Buwei to launch a mutiny in advance without being absolutely sure.
"Meng Ao, who Zhao Ji had found in advance, killed them all, and this allowed His Majesty to secure his position as King of Qin. Then Zhao Ji wanted to kill my mother and son, but His Majesty firmly opposed it. Meng Ao, Wang Jue and other senior ministers also turned against them on the spot.
"Zhao Jiyan said that as long as you live, you will always be a threat to His Majesty's throne, and she is afraid of your power. You retorted, saying that defeating Lu Buwei has added a relative from Zhao, and Your Majesty is still a puppet.
"Zhao Ji then made a bet with you. She asked you to ruin your reputation, not to participate in politics, not to marry and have children. As long as you do these three things, she will imprison herself in Yongdi with the power of Zhao State and never return.
Xianyang.
"Now that she has returned to Xianyang, the bet between you has been broken. Why do you still use the bet to prevaricate my mother? You fooled me when you were a child, and you still fool me when you grow up. You and the deceased king like each other.
Fool me, father and son team up to bully me."
Han Ji was about to cry, and there were many crystal tears in her already watery eyes.
"Mom, don't cry, I will get married and have children in the next two years!"
Hugging her biological mother Han Ji who was wiping her tears, she let Han Ji's tears wet her shoulders and clothes.
Ying Chengyu stared at Lilac, who was dressed in a palace maid's attire and was pink and tender.
Han Ji was able to describe the situation as if she was present at the scene, so someone who was present must have told her.
Among them, Ding Xiang, who was Ying Chengyu's personal maid at that time, is the most suspicious.
Ding Xiang looked like she had done something wrong, and she also looked like she was about to cry, wiping her tears with her jade hands.
She has grown up with Ying Chengyu since she was a child.
In the eyes of others, Ying Chengyu was sinister and treacherous, but in her eyes, he was always the sunny Mr. Chengyu.
"Qingmei, take Dingxiang away and arrange the room. She's here, I'm annoyed."
My maid is reluctant to scold her.
Ying Chengxuan called out to Qingmei, who was newly promoted to the housekeeper of Chang'an Junfu.
After Han Ji enters the Chang'an Palace, she no longer needs to worry about safety, and Ding Xiang, who has been protecting Han Ji, can be freed.
The extremely beautiful Qingmei entered and guided Dingxiang out with a charming smile. Dingxiang looked at Qingmei's true face and followed Qingmei out of the house in surprise.
Before the two girls left, Han Ji's nagging voice could still be heard.
"After this year you will be twenty-seven, and in two years you will be twenty-nine. No, we must get married before this year. You see His Majesty has dozens of heirs, and you will have so many heirs. By then,
Piles of grandchildren are spinning under my knees, all coming to play with me..."
The two girls drifted apart.
The sound gradually became fainter.
The roads are intertwined and the mansion is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Chang'an Junfu is like a mini Xianyang Palace.
On the top of the octagonal pavilion are shining golden cornices, and a road is paved with blue bricks of exactly the same size.
The houses are all painted in black.
Because the diners have different temperaments, the houses include wooden houses, brick houses, and thatched houses.
Traveling maids, mobile servants.
They all had faint smiles on their faces and chatted while walking, without the usual caution of servants from wealthy families.
When they see Qingmei, they will take the initiative to say hello and say housekeeper, but they will not salute strictly.
In Chang'an Jun's Mansion, as long as you do your own thing well, there is no need to be frightened or to pray.
According to what Ying Chengxuan said, everyone is born equal, so there are not so many red tapes.
Qingmei led Dingxiang along the way, which made Dingxiang, who had lived in Xianyang Palace all year round, very uncomfortable.
The rules of Xianyang Palace are very strict. Don't say that you can't do things like worship. Just chatting on the street will still be punished by the imperial cane according to the rules of the palace.
"Sister, don't you like it? Just take off this mask."
Qingmei and Dingxiang walked to the foot of a large locust tree whose trunk could not be hugged by five people, and reached out to touch Dingxiang's face.
"After staying in the palace for so many years, how can I adapt to it when I leave the palace? Don't make trouble, how can the secret guard show his true colors to others. I'm not like you who follows the young master and also travels with the Queen Mother."
Ding Xiangjiao smiled and patted Qingmei's outstretched hand, then touched Qingmei's beautiful face and teased with envy:
"I feel pity for this woman's charm. No wonder the young master stays on the balcony all the year round and doesn't want to go back home. If I were the young master, I would be willing to have such a charming and charming beauty by my side."
Qingmei sighed and pretended to be sad:
"Oh, it's just a training cauldron. The manager and I are both miserable people."
"You get a bargain but still act nice!"
Lilac's slender fingers touched Qingmei's smooth forehead again and again.
Qingmei smiled and avoided, circling around the big locust tree with light steps.
The two girls played around for a while, and the crisp laughter and the rustling of the locust tree leaves in the wind added a touch of color to the already warm Chang'an Junfu.
"Is this "Yellow Emperor" skill an evil skill? It is an orthodox method of dual cultivation, which uses essence to transform Qi and essence to improve the internal strength of both. Your body is deficient because you must not have eaten the ginseng, deer antlers and other foods that can replenish Qi and blood that the master gave you."
"...It doesn't taste good, don't talk about me anymore. My sister just took off her mask. Now that she has entered the house, she will no longer be a secret guard."
Hearing this, Ding Xiang was obviously moved, but still hesitated and said:
"The Queen Mother Han is safe..."
"My sister has been in the palace for a long time and doesn't know the master's strength. Now the master is no longer the same as you and I were protecting him at the beginning. The servants in the house are all wearing armor and have practiced kung fu and are invulnerable. The maids are all proficient in weapons, swords, and combat.
Formation, a warrior whose martial arts skills are not inferior to those of the Iron Eagle Swordsman.
"Look at the houses of the Six Kingdoms, each with its own different architecture and Qin Kingdom. Each of these houses has an extraordinary guest living in it. Among them, a person with high martial arts skills can kill you and me within five moves. In this way, Lord Chang'an
Fufu, do you still have concerns, sister?"
The young master has grown to such an extent despite being idle for ten years.
Lilac thought to herself.
At that time, Ying Chengyu had great power in the Qin State, much larger than the current Chang'an Junfu.
Empress Dowager Huayang's relatives from the Chu family, the aristocratic forces of the old Qin people, the royal family of the Ying family, and the court forces headed by Lu Buwei all stood behind Ying Chengyu.
But those are all external forces. They can be loyal to Ying Chengyu or Ying Zheng.
