In the fifth year of King Zheng of Qin, King Zheng of Qin was already eighteen years old. In this era, although there is a tradition of men getting crowned at the age of twenty, in the face of reality, it is not impossible to get crowned in advance.
The 18-year-old Qin Wangzheng has reached the age of being able to win the championship, and he is about to get married. Getting married is also one of the important symbols of a man's adulthood in this era.
Therefore, in this wedding of King Zheng of Qin, all the important officials and relatives of Qin were watching the wedding with their own thoughts.
The king’s wedding was very grand, and the entire Xianyang City was decorated with lights. With the arrival of dusk, the wedding was entering the central part.
Zhao Ji, wearing a formal palace dress, is the biological mother of Qin Wangzheng, and ranks first in the palace hall of Xianyang Palace. Next to her are Empress Dowager Huayang and Empress Dowager Xia.
These three women are the three most powerful women in Qin State today. As the biological mother of King Zheng of Qin, Zhao Ji has the real power to regent and control the tiger talisman of Qin State. The appointment of officials of more than 1,000 stones in Qin State must be stamped with Zhao Ji's empress dowager seal before it can take effect. Their power is so great that if Zhao Ji can have enough ability to control this power, although it cannot reappear the great authority of Queen Xuan back then, it is enough to become the most powerful existence in Qin State.
As the leader of the Chu system, which has an important position in the power structure of Qin, Empress Dowager Huayang has become increasingly low-key with the expansion of Lu Buwei's power in recent years, but no one can underestimate this woman who once had an important position in the first two dynasties.
As for Empress Dowager Xia, although she does not have great power like Zhao Ji and Empress Dowager Huayang, she naturally has a strong appeal to the Qin royal family in her identity and slightly embarrassing position.
The three women looked at the bride in royal clothes and dressed in costumes, but their thoughts were all under the joyful expression.
"My Zheng'er is leaving me." Zhao Ji looked at her tall and upright son Qin Wangzheng, who had grown up at some point, and while she was happy, she also felt empty.
Zhao Ji was actually not satisfied with the bride. She didn't like the Empress Dowager Huayang very much, nor did she like the people of Chu, but there was no way. The bride was chosen by King Zheng of Qin himself. She, the mother, was unwilling to go against the intentions of King Zheng of Qin, so she naturally agreed.
However, in order to promote this marriage that Zhao Ji himself was not satisfied with, Zhao Ji took the initiative to move out of Xianyang Palace and into Ganquan Palace.
You should know that from Xianyang Palace to Ganquan Palace, it is not just a simple move. Why was Zhao Ji able to become the most powerful woman in Qin? One of the important reasons is that she lives in Xianyang Palace, can control the Xianyang Palace palace and control the power center of Qin.
Zhao Ji moved out of Xianyang Palace, to some extent, had given up the control of the Xianyang Palace palace.
But after paying the price, Zhao Ji felt that her son was drifting away from her. As time passed, Zhao Ji had gradually figured out why her son chose to marry the princess of Chu who she didn't like, especially after making a marriage contract, those people in the Chu clan, such as Changpingjun and Changwenjun, seemed to have shown signs of being more active.
Yang Ming didn't know the joys and sorrows of Xianyang Palace. At this time, he was in charge of night shifts in Ganquan Palace.
Qilin Pavilion, the place where Yang Ming worked for the first time in Ganquan Palace, had almost become Yang Ming's private territory at this time.
Yang Ming stayed on the top floor, with windows open around, a banquet spread beside the window, a small table, and a set of tea sets, and the two of them had formed a wonderful picture.
It is too simple for Yang Ming, the captain of Ganquan Palace, to pretend to be public and private.
"You can't drink too much tea at night, otherwise you will not be able to sleep. The next day, you will have two big dark circles." Yang Ming snatched the teacup in front of Jingluo and slapped it all in one sip.
"Then aren't you worried about yourself?" Jingyu obviously had been accustomed to Yang Ming's behavior at this time, but instead asked seriously.
Jingyu obviously has his own experience in how to cooperate with Yang Ming's prank.
In the eyes of others, Jingyu is cold-hearted and not good at speaking, and is a woman who is difficult to contact, but in Yang Ming's view, it is completely different. Only Yang Ming can experience the fun of Jingyu.
Jingyu is not good at speaking. Many times, when Yang Ming says ten sentences, Jingyu will reply to the previous sentence, but it is often this sentence that can make Yang Ming feel happy.
To a certain extent, the simplicity of Jingyu's personality and the changeable thoughts can constitute a rare harmonious picture between men and women.
"Of course I'm not worried. I'm about to achieve my magical skills. Not to mention not sleeping all night, even if I don't sleep for ten days, it will not have any impact." Yang Ming said with a smile.
"Nonsense, you obviously haven't succeeded yet." Jingyu said with a smile on her eyes. This was one of her new fun. She could occasionally hit Yang Ming slightly.
"It's almost done, it's almost done." Yang Ming said indifferently.
"If I remember correctly, you said so two months ago." Jingyu was not at all understanding at this time, and only cruelly revealed Yang Ming's old background.
"I can now achieve 'harmony' and can use the three-mart martial arts at the same time. I am very close to success." Yang Ming said.
"Is that right? But I remember the last time we were fighting, when we used the Yunzhi Phantom and attacked the Frost Scarlet Scarlet, we were not lucky, which made Xuyunjin and Tianshuangjin conflict with each other. Before I could do it, you fell down by yourself." Jingyu chuckled, and she would never forget Yang Ming's embarrassment in her life.
"Jingyu, you are getting worse and worse." Yang Ming shook his head and laughed, but there was no look of anger in his expression, just because the woman in front of him was Jingyu.
"Is there any?" Jingyu said with her cold and deceptive expression.
"But there are bad things, but bad things are good." Yang Ming held Jingyu's little hand and said in his soft and slightly cool palm.
"Don't worry about practicing, we can take it slowly. Now you can perfectly combine the Shenfeng Jin and Xuyun Jin. It is only one step away from success. We still have a lot of time in the future and will definitely be able to practice it." Jingyu put his other hand on the back of the hand that Yang Ming was playing with his palm, and his words were full of concern.
"Time is very important. Next year, I hope to take you away from here and let you truly live in the sun, not like you are now." Yang Ming pondered.
"It's actually very good now, much better than before." Jingyu comforted.
"It's a pity that it's not good enough. OK. The night is long and I'm starting to practice. I hope this time I can make a breakthrough." Yang Ming picked up the tea cup and drank it all, cheered up his spirits, looked at the distance and the lights dotted in the vast night, and his mood became more pleasant.
"Well, I'll be with you." Jingyu replied, his eyes full of encouragement.
The next time is a boring and exciting training session.
In the top floor of Qilin Pavilion, there is a beauty standing against the railing, and the wind that seems to be there and not be there blows inside and outside.
The wedding of King Zheng of Qin lasted for three days before it officially ended. When Yang Ming saw Zhao Ji again, the Empress Dowager Zhao, who had only completed the "promotion" not long ago, looked tired.
Looking back on the wedding and everything after the wedding, Zhao Ji was not in a good mood. This was a stage that most women had to go through. In Zhao Ji's opinion, the princess of Chu, who is Zhao Ji's current daughter-in-law, was not so pleasing to her no matter how she looked at it.
Unfortunately, looking at Yang Ming excitedly bidding farewell to Jingyu in the evening and riding a horse, Zhao Ji's feeling of being abandoned because of the wedding became deeper and deeper.
Looking back at the huge Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ji sadly discovered that she didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Zhao Ji returned to her bedroom with a depressed look and felt boring for a moment. Looking at her bedroom, the curtains made of red silk floated around. The valuable furnishings made the entire bedroom exude a luxurious atmosphere, but it was such a bedroom that made her feel an empty feeling.
Then he flipped through the bamboo slips on the desk. Zhao Ji, who used to hate reading these things the most, actually wanted to use these bamboo slips to pass the boring time.
"Empress Dowager Xuan?" Zhao Ji's eyes subconsciously condensed when she opened the bamboo slips. The bamboo slips in her hand were actually a piece...
Zhao Ji looked at the words in the bamboo slips and the image of a woman appeared in front of her. What is this?
Of course, Zhao Ji didn't understand something called "Diary", but in this era, although there was no such name, it had something similar.
In the words in front of Zhao Ji, the image of a woman gradually appeared. Unlike Queen Mother Xuan recorded by the historian of Qin, the owner of this bamboo slip was Queen Mother Xuan himself, or a woman.
"On the day of Ziwu, I met the King of Yiqiu in the court..."
"This?" Zhao Ji looked at the bamboo slips in her hand, and a solemn expression gradually appeared in her expression, which then became a feeling of fear. She was curious, she was puzzled, she was afraid, but she seemed to have a vague expectation.
A world that made Zhao Ji tremble and full of temptation is unfolding towards her Xu Xun. When Zhao Ji opens that world, what will it release? Is it devouring her flames? Or is it an opportunity to bring her a new life?
Meng Tian, who had experienced a war in the Meng family mansion in Xianyang City, seemed to have grown a lot. Although Meng Tian used to be tough and persistent, she still imitated her grandfather Meng Ao more. Although she could imitate her, she turned that imitation into something that truly belonged to her, but she always felt a little vain.
But Meng Tian in front of him was different. A war seemed to have made him grow a lot, making him transform from a teenager to an adult.
