Chapter 40: Staying Overnight with the Princess
"What if I say that my surname is Ji instead of Jin?" Jin Yao didn't want to hide it from King Xiaocheng of Zhao anymore.
The Jin clan was originally descendants of the State of Jin, which is why Jin Bi was killed by King Anxi of Wei and the Jin clan was destroyed. This is also what Xiang Fuzi told him before his death about his true identity and why the State of Wei was hunting him down.
King Zhao Xiaocheng's eyes suddenly fixed, and he looked at Jin Yao, "Are you descendants of the State of Jin?"
"Yes!" Jin Yao did not hide.
King Xiaocheng of Zhao watched Jin Yao close his eyes and took a deep breath. "The three families divided Jin, and Jin later seized Zhao. This is the way of heaven, and it should be so!"
"Okay, okay, if you really have the ability, then what if Zhao is returned to Jin!" Zhao Dan said domineeringly.
"Your Majesty, Princess Qian'er has arrived!" The people around him reported in a low voice, interrupting their conversation.
They could only pretend that they couldn't hear or see what they heard and saw, otherwise the sun of the next day would shine on the corpses of their three tribes. As the king's attendants, they were very clear about this.
"Call!" Zhao Dan said nothing more and ordered someone to bring Princess Zhao Qian in.
An eight or nine-year-old girl wearing a fuyao headdress, led by her attendants, trotted into the bedroom and threw herself directly into the arms of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, calling coquettishly, "Father!"
"You are so grown up, yet you still act like a spoiled child. Don't you see that Brother Yao is here?" King Xiaocheng of Zhao caressed the girl's head lovingly.
"Ah~" The girl then noticed Jin Yao sitting next to Zhao Dan. She stuck out her tongue, jumped out, and saluted gracefully, but she looked at Jin Yao with curiosity and hostility.
"Who are you? Why can you sit next to our father?" the girl asked with hostility. No other brothers can sit in this position, it is hers. Where did this wild child come from and how dare he snatch it from me!
"This is Jin Yao, father Xinshou's adopted son, and your elder brother!" King Xiaocheng of Zhao introduced him lovingly, but he looked at Jin Yao meaningfully.
Jin Yao knew the reason why King Xiaocheng of Zhao asked Zhao Qian to come, so he bowed silently, "Yao greets the princess!"
"You are the Shangqing that my father has just appointed!" Zhao Qian also heard from her mother about the turmoil in the court today. There was a young Shangqing who reversed the negative and country-losing words of the court officials with just one word. Therefore, she was very curious about what this person looked like.
"Zhao Qian greets Shang Qing. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for helping my father and the State of Zhao overcome the difficulties!" Zhao Qian saluted gracefully.
Jin Yao looked at Zhao Qian in surprise. Although she was eccentric, she was very clear about right and wrong.
"I dare not!" Jin Yao shook his head.
"Go ahead, play more with Brother Yao in the future, and forget about your brothers!" Zhao Dan smiled and let the two leave together.
"Your son is leaving!" Zhao Qian and Jin Yao bowed and left the bedroom together.
"Please come in, young master!" The waiter walked to Jin Yao and took him to a palace in the royal palace.
"Chonghua Palace, my father actually gave Chonghua Palace to you!" Zhao Qian looked at the magnificent palace in front of her, looked at Jin Yao in astonishment, and walked around Jin Yao, looking him up and down.
"Is there something wrong?" Jin Yao asked in confusion.
"Chonghua Palace was the bedroom of our great-grandfather King Wuling. No one was allowed to live there for so many years, and yet my father gave it to you as a reward!" Zhao Qian explained in shock.
Jin Yao then understood that King Xiaocheng of Zhao was serious and was trying to win him over in an upright and honest manner.
"I don't want to be cheated either, but this pie is too big!" Jin Yao did not doubt the courage of King Xiaocheng of Zhao. If he really demonstrated his ability, he was sure that King Xiaocheng of Zhao would really dare to kill the eldest prince Zhao Yan, who later became King Daoxiang of Zhao, expel the other princes, make him the crown prince, and even help him restore the State of Jin among the Three Jins.
"Brother Zheng!" Jin Yao suddenly thought that at that time Ying Zheng was still a hostage in Zhao State. Never underestimate the First Emperor, he is an emperor of all ages.
Thinking of becoming an enemy of Ying Zheng in the future , Jin Yao felt a headache again. The life and death of Zhao State was uncertain now. Who knew whether his arrival would cause any changes in the war between Yan and Zhao.
Originally the main general who led the troops to the battle was Lian Po and the deputy general was Le Cheng. Now Lian Po is still the main general, and the deputy general has become the mascot himself.
"Let's take it one step at a time!" Jin Yao calmed down and continued to bury himself in the scriptures. Only powerful martial arts and profound knowledge truly belong to him.
"You..." Zhao Qian felt depressed when she saw Jin Yao ignoring her, but her good upbringing told her not to disturb Jin Yao who was buried in scriptures.
"So this is why my father asked me to spend more time with him. I was overthinking it!" Zhao Qian guessed what her father meant when King Zhao Xiaocheng asked her to spend more time with Jin Yao. But when she saw Jin Yao, who valued time like gold, she felt that she was overthinking it.
"Father probably just wants me to learn more from him!" Zhao Qian thought.
Bored Zhao Qian could only squat beside and pick up the remaining scriptures that Jin Yao was reading. Unconsciously, she also calmed down and started reading the scriptures.
The servants around were all stunned. The lawless little princess could actually read quietly. Was she blind?
There is no sun or moon in the book. Jin Yao is used to reading all night and can be full of energy again after a simple breathing adjustment. But Zhao Qian is not like that. She fell asleep holding the book a long time ago.
"Take the princess downstairs to rest!" Jin Yao did not wake up Zhao Qian, but signaled the servants to take Zhao Qian to rest. In a palace as big as Chonghua Palace, there must be plenty of rooms.
"Ah?" The attendants looked at Jin Yao in shock. As palace attendants, they naturally knew what King Xiaocheng of Zhao meant. However, was it really okay to let the princess stay overnight on the first day?
" What ?" Jin Yao frowned.
"Yes!" The servant did not dare to resist and could only order the maid to carry Zhao Qian to the palace to rest.
Jin Yao didn't say anything more. He took out Ling Xu and continued to practice Mozi swordsmanship, Hui sword and Yu sword.
"Keep the princess overnight?" After receiving the report from his attendants, King Xiaocheng of Zhao was also shocked. He frowned slightly, thinking that he had misjudged the person. Why did he look so hungry?
"What is Master Yao doing?" King Xiaocheng of Zhao asked angrily.
"Read books and practice sword skills!" the left and right people answered.
"You watched it all night and practiced it all night?" King Xiaocheng of Zhao continued to ask.
"Yes, I have never seen such a hard-working young man!" Zuoyou said, and then added a compliment.
King Xiaocheng of Zhao let out a sigh. He was overthinking. What could two little kids do? He was right about him. He was a disciple of the Mohist school. How could he be that kind of playboy?
The next day, Jin Yao left Chonghua Palace and the palace to look for the Six-Fingered Black Knight. He needed the training of Mohist scriptures and mechanical arts. Most importantly, he had to kill Lord Chu Nan and the Yin-Yang School!
"You're so brave to let the princess stay overnight!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight said playfully as he looked at Jin Yao who had returned.
The news of the princess staying overnight had long spread throughout the palace, so it was no surprise that Mo Jia knew about it. After all, everyone in Handan was trying to find out about the new prime minister and the adopted son of King Zhao. But no one expected that such a big thing would happen on the first day, and the king actually condoned it!
