Chapter 55 Snow Maiden
Ying Zheng didn't know the plot that happened in Handan, but he wouldn't care even if he knew it. The princess of Zhao was just a big shot to confuse Zhao Yan and avoid any changes in Li Mu's affairs.
Zhao Yan's reaction was indeed as Ying Zheng expected, and he focused all his thoughts on his sister, but instead he was indifferent to Li Mu, who should really pay attention to.
While Zhao Yan was planning, Lu Buwei, who was far away in Xianyang, also received the order from Ying Zheng.
"Xianyang just got the news that Zhao Wangdan died, and the king had already made a deal with Zhao Yan. How did the king do it?" As Lu Buwei's confidant, when Lu Buwei received the king's order, he naturally would not hide anything from Yao Jia.
"This is the king's secret, we'd better not be too curious."
Lu Buwei also looked at the words on the secret scroll with a strange expression. In fact, he was also very curious about how Ying Zheng did it? Xianyang just received news from Luowang, and there had already negotiated a deal to seek the country.
"What does the Prime Minister think about this matter?" Yao Jia suppressed his curiosity and asked.
"Do as the king wants." Lu Buwei replied.
"Don't the Prime Minister think this deal is too much? Li Mu and a Zhao princess can be worth a Zhao?" Yao Jia asked.
In his opinion, there is obviously more that can be obtained in this transaction, but not the rest. The Taiyuan County, which has gained and lost again, can get it back in this transaction, not just two people.
"You have never been in Zhao State and don't know the situation in Zhao State. The king's business is a sure profit. Not to mention that he can get a princess of Zhao State, he has made it with just one Li Mu." Lu Buwei smiled.
"I have also heard of Li Mu. He has been stationed in Yanmen for many years, so that the wolf clan dare not spy on Zhao. He is considered a famous general, but it is not worthy of the king's like this." Yao Jia said inexplicably.
"You misunderstood what I mean. It doesn't matter who Li Mu is. The key is Zhao Yan. Not to mention that the king can still get a princess of Zhao and Li Mu. Even if he can get nothing, the king will help Zhao Yan." Lu Buwei explained.
"Prime Minister, don't say that the king has a good relationship with this young master Zhao, that would be too funny." Yao Jia joked.
"If the king had the chance, he would definitely kill Zhao Yan without hesitation. How could he be so pretentious?" Lu Buwei said with a laugh.
"I'm becoming more and more confused after hearing what the Prime Minister said." Yao Jia said in confusion.
"Is it because Zhao Yan has a problem?" Yao Jia said suddenly.
"You have figured it out, the key is Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan inherited the throne of Zhao, which is a good thing for our Qin State. How can the king not help Zhao Yan?"
"So, Zhao Yan is smart this time."
"If Zhao Yan had not been a smart person, how could the king help him?" Lu Buwei had already contemplated silently for Zhao State and Zhao Yan at this time.
Zhao Ji from Zhiyang Palace also received news from Xinzheng.
"Princess Zhao?" Zhao Ji looked at the words in the bamboo slips and shook her head and smiled: "Zheng'er, you don't really think that my mind is so dark. Even if you want to take revenge, there is no need to bully and target a little girl."
Zhao Ji read the words in the bamboo slips word by word, and said to the palace maid beside her: "Little Mingzhu, do you think I am very bad?"
"How could there be? There is no better person in this world than you, the Queen Mother." The palace maid called Little Mingzhu said with a compliment.
"I'm not a good person after that, I'm just not that bad." Zhao Ji denied, but there seemed to be a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, which was obviously very helpful for Xiao Mingzhu's words.
"Good people and bad people, from different positions, they see differently, but at least from my standpoint, there is really no better person than you, the Queen Mother."
"This statement is interesting. It's good or bad based on your position. However, according to your statement, do you think Zheng'er is a good person or a bad person?"
"The king is naturally a good person too." Mingzhu looked at Zhao Ji sincerely and said.
"Good guy... I remember that Zheng'er almost killed you. The person who wanted to kill you was considered a good guy based on your position?" Zhao Ji's smile disappeared without a trace.
"I was a Korean at that time, and it was understandable that the king wanted to kill me. Now I am a Qin country. From this standpoint, the king is of course a good person." Faced with Zhao Ji's questioning, the little Mingzhu, who was mentioned by Zhao Ji, had a very stable mentality.
"You are indeed very good at pleasing people. Although you can only believe 30% of your words, you still can't help but want to believe them all." Zhao Ji sighed.
Zhao Ji liked the gift that Ying Zheng gave her very much. She was very conscious and knew the times. She was beautiful and spoke more beautifully.
When Mrs. Mingzhu faced Zhao Ji, she could only smile awkwardly.
In my heart, I actually wanted to ravage Ying Zheng. If Ying Zheng hadn't told Zhao Ji about her black history, she would have become Zhao Ji's confidant by her means, rather than being beaten from time to time like now.
Mrs. Mingzhu's thoughts seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space. At this time, there was also a woman in Handan City.
Although Feixue Pavilion, a place of popularity and popularity in Handan City, has not been opened for a long time, it has become a leader in the industry. At this time, a female guest came, and the female guest was even received by the host of Feixue Pavilion.
"My sister means to pick a girl from the Concubine Snow Pavilion and be given to the King of Qin when pretending to be a princess?" The owner of Concubine Snow Pavilion asked, looking at the former sister who had already climbed up to the high branch.
"Please help me, sister." The woman who was called Lian'er by Zhao Yan begged.
"Since my sister has something to ask for, I can't help you, but this person cannot be a snow girl." The owner of Concubine Xue Pavilion replied.
In the entire Concubine Snow Pavilion, there is only one who is similar to the age of the little princess of Zhao. It would be fine if it were someone else, but Xuenu is her apprentice whom she values very much. How could a girl who wants to inherit her legacy in the future be willing to send Xuenu to Qin?
"Sister, if it weren't for Xue Nu, how could I beg for my sister like this?" Lian'er was embarrassed.
Since you want to cheat Ying Zheng, you must do things carefully. If you are just an ordinary woman, how can you let Ying Zheng look at him differently?
"Sister, you are making things difficult for me. Do you know that Snow Girl is my apprentice?" said the owner of Concubine Xue Pavilion.
"Sister, sister beg you." Lian'er said as she bowed to the ground.
"Sister, it's not that my sister won't help you. Anyone in Shifei Snow Pavilion, no matter which one you like, I can give it to you, but Xue Nu can't." The owner of Feixue Pavilion refused.
"Sister, as long as you can promise me, my sister, I am willing to pay any price." Lian'er begged.
Any price. The owner of Feixue Pavilion, who heard this, couldn't help but feel cold in his heart. She knew that any price was both an inducement and a threat.
"Is this really the case?" The owner of Feixue Pavilion hesitated.
Although she valued Xue Nu, she did not dare to really offend her sister. Zhao Yan might not be anything to Ying Zheng's opinion, but in Handan, she could decide the life and death of the Concubine Xue Pavilion in just one word.
"Sister, I know that snow girl is very important to you, sister, but this matter is related to the throne of your husband, and I have to do this." Lian'er said guiltily.
If possible, she would not want to threaten her good sister who was already in the same brothel when she was young.
But it is not easy to find a girl who is about the same age as Zhao Yan's sister and can still make Ying Zheng moved. She dare not look for it with great fanfare, so as not to risk leaking the news.
Therefore, the snow girl in Feixue Pavilion became the best candidate, with the right age and good appearance. The most important thing is that no one in Handan knows the snow girl.
The helpless owner of the Concubine Xue Pavilion could only find the snow girl who was practicing dancing and told the girl who had just celebrated her ninth birthday.
"Xue'er, are you willing? If you don't, I'll find another way." The owner of Concubine Xue Pavilion looked at the snow girl in front of him and said guiltily.
"Master, I do." The snow girl said with her head down, but in her eyes there was a lot of loss.
She thought she already had a home, but in the end she was just a mirror and she became an orphan again.
She also knew that the person who could make his master say those words was obviously the one who could not afford to offend him. Although she liked Feixue Pavilion and this family, she could not make the master embarrassed.
As for where the master was going to send him, Snow Girl didn't care, so she just treated it as a reward for her kindness.
