Chapter 46: Concubine Zheng meets Queen Mother Han

Why does everyone think I want to rebel?
Meng Ao is like this, Gai Nie is like this, even my mother is like this?
Do you have any misunderstanding about me?
Ying Chengjiao was extremely depressed, with his eyebrows drooping and his face frowning, and he didn't want to talk.
When Queen Dowager Han saw that Ying Chengjiao remained silent, she took Ying Chengjiao's attitude as consent and felt mixed feelings.
If I had sacrificed a little at the beginning, it would be my son who would rule the world today. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad and cry.
"Mother, don't cry!" Ying Chengjiao was in a hurry. He helped Queen Mother Han to sit on the main seat and gently rubbed her calves.
He controlled a small amount of internal energy and injected it into Empress Dowager Han's calf meridians through his fingertips, and then injected it into Empress Dowager Han's limbs and bones along the meridians.
Queen Mother Han's body was washed by thousands of warm currents, which was more comfortable than soaking in a natural hot spring.
The human body and mind are connected. When Queen Dowager Han felt better, the sadness in her heart was greatly relieved.
"That's enough." Queen Mother Han caressed Ying Chengjiao's head lovingly. "How can you use your inner strength like this?"
Ying Chengjiao is 26 years old this year and is 1.75 meters tall.
But in the eyes of Queen Mother Han, Ying Chengjiao will always be the picky eater who is less than three feet tall and has been complaining that the food is not tasty since he was a child.
Ying Chengjiao pretended not to hear what Queen Mother Han said. He carefully used his internal energy to examine Queen Mother Han's body and eliminate the evil wind toxins.
The Queen Mother Han had not suffered a serious illness for ten years, and Ying Chengjiao's internal strength examination and combing at least once a week played a great role in this.
Seeing Ying Chengjiao's usually playful and carefree face now filled with seriousness and caution, Queen Mother Han couldn't help but blame herself again, "If I had been like that woman, my son would have been the King of Qin, and I wouldn't have to..."
"Mother!"
Ying Chengjiao increased the strength in his hands.
Queen Mother Han frowned and cried out in pain, swallowing the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"I've told you eight hundred times. It has nothing to do with that or you. I just don't want to be an emperor. What's so good about being an emperor? Look at me, my brother gets up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog. How can he be as free and easy as me?"
Alas, I finally missed the opportunity.
Queen Mother Han sighed inwardly, but in order to make Ying Chengjiao happy, she said, "Okay, okay, my Jiao'er doesn't want to be the emperor. Then why did you confine Fusu this time?"
When Ying Chengjiao heard this, he became a little annoyed and regretted that he had not forcibly interfered with Ying Fusu's decision to become Chunyu Yue's disciple.
Otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened, and he is still free and easy like a god.
"That kid is like a possessed man, stuck in Confucianism. If he were to inherit the Qin Dynasty now, the second Qin Dynasty would be destroyed. I don't want the rebels to attack my Chang'an Palace while I'm eating hot pot and singing!"
Queen Dowager Han knew Ying Fusu very well and liked him very much.
Among the many princes and princesses of the First Emperor, only Ying Fusu would often come to Chang'an Palace to pay his respects to Queen Dowager Han.
Over time, Queen Mother Han became very fond of this gentle, respectful, frugal and modest grandson.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with Confucianism. After all, it's much better than those cold-blooded Legalists."
Queen Mother Han grumbled that she had no good feelings towards the Legalists.
She would feel suffocated staying in the palace all the time, and her way to relieve her boredom was to visit the six palaces and chat with the concubines and princesses of the six countries.
Queen Dowager Han learned a lot of new things from the concubines and princesses of the six countries.
For example, the drum music of Yan, the sword dance of Chu, the horse racing of Qi...
The lives of royal families of any country are much more colorful than those of the Qin royal family, and they have all kinds of ways to have fun.
To be precise, the Qin royal family's living comfort level was not only inferior to that of royal families of other countries, but even to the gentry and wealthy businessmen of other countries.
Entertainment activities such as drum music, sword dancing, and horse racing are not exclusive to the royal family.
The reason for all this is the farming and warfare strategy first proposed by Shang Yang.
Therefore, Queen Dowager Han had no good feelings towards the Legalists, the culprits who caused her extremely low quality of life.
In the eyes of Queen Dowager Han, Confucianism, which taught Ying Fusu to be gentle, respectful, frugal and modest, is obviously much better than Legalism.
If Ying Zheng said this, Ying Chengjiao might consider rebellion.
But since it was Queen Mother Han who said it, Ying Chengjiao just smiled and agreed: "That's right! Mother's idea coincides with that of the ministers!"
Queen Mother Han poked Ying Chengjiao's forehead twice with her index finger.
"You, you just know how to make me happy. Your father once said that if I were to govern the Qin State , it would be destroyed in one year."
One year? Dad must be lying to you! It’s good enough if we can last three months!
Ying Chengjiao complained inwardly.
"I didn't lie to you this time, mother. That's what the ministers thought. Otherwise, why did the ministers refuse to listen to Fusu's advice when he was demoted to Shangjun?"
"Really?" Queen Mother Han was full of suspicion.
"It's absolutely true!" Ying Chengjiao said seriously.
"Come here! Hurry up! I want to see His Majesty!" Queen Mother Han suddenly became anxious and hurried to see the First Emperor. "My ministers think the same as I do. The Great Qin will be destroyed in one year!"
No, it's March!
Ying Chengjiao comforted Queen Mother Han.
"Don't worry, mother. My brother is a decisive person. How can he listen to the ministers in everything? As long as my brother is alive, the Qin Kingdom will not perish."
Inside the Chang'an Palace, a mother and her son were gossiping.
Outside the Chang'an Palace, Concubine Zheng, wearing a one-piece, wide concubine's gown embroidered with roses and pepper leaves, walked quickly towards them, with an undisguised look of anxiety on her face.
Seeing the large number of palace maids and eunuchs gathered outside the Chang'an Palace, Concubine Zheng slowed down her pace.
"Is Changan Jun in there?"
She used a declarative sentence rather than a question.
Queen Mother Han dismissed her attendants, so it was most likely Ying Chengjiao who came.
The eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads and dared not answer.
Since the matter involved Ying Chengjiao, they were afraid of being killed if they even answered.
Concubine Zheng's eyes narrowed, thinking that Queen Mother Han did not allow these eunuchs and palace maids to reveal Ying Chengjiao's whereabouts.
"I'm here to pay my respects to Queen Mother Han. Go in and pass on the message."
"only."
The palace maid who gave Xia Wuqie the golden beans responded and went in to report reluctantly.
The expressions of the palace maids made Concubine Zheng feel even more depressed.
Queen Mother Han doesn't want to see me. Could it be that Queen Mother Han also agreed to Fusu's house arrest?
Concubine Zheng is the biological mother of Ying Fusu. She came to Chang'an Palace this time because her son Ying Fusu was under house arrest.
Concubine Zheng didn't know that the maid's unwillingness was not because she thought Queen Mother Han didn't want to see her. It was simply because the maid was frightened by Ying Chengjiao and didn't want to be in the same room with him.
After a while, the palace maid returned to the palace gate.
"The Queen Mother invites you."
I was not turned away, so this matter is still up for discussion!
Concubine Zheng calmed down and walked into Chang'an Palace.
Although Ying Chengjiao thought Chang'an Palace was too small, it was actually not small. All the palaces together covered an area of ​​one thousand square meters.
Because all the eunuchs and palace maids were dismissed by Queen Mother Han, the Chang'an Palace was very deserted.
Concubine Zheng walked from the palace gate to the bedroom where Queen Mother Han lived. The only sound she could hear along the way was her footsteps, which made Concubine Zheng feel quite stressed. In addition, she had something on her mind, which increased her stress.
When Concubine Zheng finally walked into the bedroom where Queen Dowager Han lived, she saw Ying Chengjiao combing Queen Dowager Han's body and the two of them talking and laughing happily. Her heart sank.
"Greetings to Queen Mother Han."
This matter was not done by Chang'an Jun alone, but Queen Mother Han also agreed to it, which makes it difficult to deal with.
