Chapter 89 Totem
"You Zhao family enjoyed the treatment of a royal family in Qin State, but you didn't even know the ancient totem of the Qin tribe, so you came to offer a gift rashly. Are you confused or ignorant!"
Zhao Ying's proud expression fell into Meng Tian's eyes, angering the anger in his heart. In Qin, the Meng family was low-key and did not easily compete with others, but it did not mean that the Meng family was easy to bully.
"Why am I confused?" Zhao Ying did not understand what Meng Tian said. "My descendants of the Huaxia clan inherited Yanhuang. When Huangdi ascended to immortality, they descended from heaven to welcome him. Since then, the Huaxia clan has used dragons as the totem, and my jade pendant has circling with a dragon-shaped totem."
Zhao Ying originally wanted to say that the jade pendant with a dragon-shaped totem would be bestowed on Ying Yan. But he found that the guests in the hall were silent, and some people had an indescribable smile on the corner of their mouths.
"Brother, stop talking!"
Zhao Hai quietly pulled Zhao Ying's sleeve and felt very ashamed. When Zhao Ying went to trouble Meng Tian, Zhao Hai couldn't stop it, but he didn't expect that Zhao Ying would say such words. It was just that Zhao Ying was not acquainted with the customs of Qin.
"The historical records of Qin State, female cultivators swallowed the black bird egg and made great achievements, which led to the Qin tribe. The so-called black bird is the swallow. For generations, the Qin people have regarded the totem of the tribe. The men and women of Qin State gave each other jade pendants, and the appearance was all the figures of swallows. The dragon-shaped jade pendants were popular in the Yanzhao. As the saying goes, you often wear the dragon-shaped jade pendants on your body. I am afraid that people are concerned about Zhao in Qin State?!"
"You're swearing!"
Zhao Ying's face was pale and he was so scared that he took several steps back. He did like Zhao State more, but he didn't dare to let outsiders know about it. Unexpectedly, Meng Tian's guess hit his weakness.
Meng Tian only wanted to suppress Zhao Ying's arrogance, but did not want to cause trouble. The Qin people ruled over the law. If Meng Tian wanted to sue Zhao for his unfaithfulness, he had to come up with practical evidence and go to the Xianyang government to report to him personally.
"Princess Yan has just become an adult. If you are not sincere, don't continue to get entangled!"
Meng Tian laughed in his heart. Zhao Ying was really scared. Standing with his younger brother Zhao Hai, it formed a sharp contrast.
"Forgive me"
Zhao Hai dragged and pulled Zhao Ying away from the hall. Before leaving, Zhao Ying glared at Meng Tian fiercely, looking quite dissatisfied.
After Zhao Ying left, the hall returned to peace. The guests withdrew their gazes to watch the excitement and continued to praise each other with one word and one word.
"Brother Meng, even if you don't stand up, I will politely reject Zhao Ying's." Ying Yan and Meng Tian chatted while walking: "The jade pendant he took out has a slight mark on it, and I think I have been wearing it for a lot of time."
"It's my fault, I've found you such a fool."
Meng Tian smiled bitterly in her heart. She really didn't read Japanese books when she went out. She got into someone like Zhao Ying, and she was gossiping behind her back and was rather unreasonable.
"Forget it, the forest is too big, there are too many people in Xianyang, so it's better not to say it." Ying Yan shook her head and pointed to the box in Meng Tian's hand: "My gift is still inside, right?"
"May Princess Yan see it!"
Meng Tian knelt on one knee, holding the box with both hands, and holding it high over his head, which was quite like a knight.
"Hmph, I hope it's better to have the eyes of this princess!"
Ying Yan took the box made of nanmu and opened it gently, and couldn't help but scream softly.
"So beautiful!"
I saw a short sword lying quietly inside the box, about one foot, shining with golden light. Above the scabbard, there was a beautiful picture of the flying swallow.
"I hang it in my clothes like this, no one can see it."
Ying Yan picked up the dagger and hung it around her waist. Her wide dress was wrapped around her outside, so there was no trace of the dagger.
"Just play with it yourself, don't wear it next to the king and the queen mother!"
Ying Yan has a good sword, but unfortunately, the Qin people's bronze sword has the shortest sword body and is not suitable for women. Ying Yan has long complained that there is no suitable sword in his hand. But Meng Tian is also worried that Ying Yan is naughty and violates Ying Zheng's taboo.
At this time, Ying Zheng had no experience of being assassinated. If Ying Yan approached Ying Zheng with a short sword, he would inevitably not be used.
"Okay, I know!"
Putting the short sword back into the box, Ying Yan stuck out his tongue. In the palace ban, except for the King of Qin, others are indeed not suitable for dancing and playing with swords.
The activity continued after the ceremony. The Empress Dowager Huayang had returned to her bedroom and lay in the warm quilt.
"The Queen Mother"
Not long after the Empress Dowager Huayang was lying down, a palace maid quietly appeared, holding her mouth to the empress dowager's ear, and narrating the interesting stories about the birth of the front palace. The conflict between Meng Tian and Zhao Ying was seen by the palace maid throughout the whole process.
"Have you arrived?"
After hearing the words of the palace maid, Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes slowly closed, recalling the Zhao family in Xianyang. Over the years, no outstanding figures have appeared.
"Grandson meets the eldest mother!"
"Mi Ling pays homage to the Queen Mother!"
After the Queen Mother Huayang finished speaking, the eunuchs who were attending hurriedly ran out to welcome Ying Zheng and Mi Ling who had been waiting for a long time.
"I'm old and can't attend your wedding ceremony in person." The voice of Empress Dowager Huayang came, revealing weakness: "You're just kowtowing to me here, and I'll have no regrets."
In the swaying candlelight, the wrinkles of Empress Dowager Huayang are like hills and valleys in the wheat fields, one by one. Time is unforgivable, and even though it is well maintained, it still cannot withstand the erosion of time.
Ying Zheng kowtowed honestly. At this time, he was very complicated, a little relaxed and confused.
When he first ascended the throne and was rebelling, rumors were flying everywhere, saying that Lu Buwei's blood was flowing on his body, not the blood of the Ying clan. At that time, Ying Zheng could not eat well, couldn't sleep steadily, was frightened at night, and was frightened and trepidated inside.
But Empress Dowager Huayang stood up and chose to believe Zhao Ji, and determined that Ying Zheng belonged to a true descendant of the Ying family, which blocked the Qin people's leisurely mouth. Ying Zheng was grateful to this great mother, but was a little dissatisfied with the great mother's behavior of protecting the Chu forces.
However, Ying Zheng also needed the support of Empress Dowager Huayang to completely eliminate Lu Buwei's power and the increasingly arrogant Lao Ai.
Ying Zheng received a secret report and when Lao Ai was having a banquet, he publicly declared, "I am the fake father of the king!"
"Queen, you go back to take a shower and change your clothes first. You have something to say to the king alone."
The eyes of Empress Dowager Huayang were full of love, and Mi Ling had the same bloodline as her. Her every move, every frown and smile reminded her of her early years in Chu. When Queen Mother Xuan was in power, her family moved her family to Qin. Even though she had been in Qin for many years, she was still accustomed to speaking Chu language and wearing Chu clothes.
As the queen, the Queen Mother Huayang explained clearly what kind of responsibilities Mi Ling bears on her shoulders. Mi Ling is still so young, and the future of the Chu system is indeed a bit too early for Mi Ling.
"As a royal princess, sooner or later, you must be aware of moving in the political whirlpool. Mi Ling, Lao Shi hopes that you will firmly protect the position of the queen and choose a woman from Mi for the prince in the future, just like Queen Mother Xuan and Lao Shi do it."
Watching Mi Ling leave, Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes returned to Ying Zheng. She raised her thin arm and asked Ying Zheng to sit next to her.
No one knows his son better than his father and mother. Zi Chu died early, and Zhao Ji was addicted to Lao Ai's joy. The responsibility of teaching Ying Zheng fell more on the Empress Dowager Huayang. Seeing Ying Zheng grow up day by day, Empress Dowager Huayang can be said to be half of Ying Zheng's parents, and she knows Ying Zheng's personality very well.
This grandson has his own ideas in his heart, but he is not a ruthless person.
The Empress Dowager Huayang held Ying Zheng's hand and showed a kind smile on her face. I think Ying Zheng would not abolish the position of queen of Mi Ling.
