Although Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Chu State, there are not many Chu people in Xianyang. Even in the court, there are several loyal ministers who came from Chu State, such as Yangquan Jun, Changping Jun, Changping Jun
Jun is Michan's half-brother.
However, those relatives were only related to her by blood. As for the others, they probably only valued her future status in Qin.
Even Michan's brother Changping Jun, in her communication, asked more about her views on Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng's attitude towards her, but never asked her what her true thoughts towards Ying Zheng were.
As for the Queen Mother Huayang who truly cared about her and her thoughts, even Mi Chan knew that the Queen Mother Huayang's concern could not change anything, but she still felt that the Queen Mother Huayang was kind.
Ying Zheng ranked second.
As for the reasons, firstly, she knew that she could not change her future and that she was destined to stay in this palace. Naturally, she had complex feelings for Ying Zheng. Although they were strangers, after all, they
It's different from strangers.
Under this premise, as long as Ying Zheng is not an annoying person, Mi Chan can easily accept her future destiny. In fact, Ying Zheng is not only not an annoying person, but also a very likeable one.
Humans, at least for Michan, are like this.
As for the third reason. Thinking of this, Mi Chan couldn't help but glance at Ying Zheng who was leaning on the railing and looking at the sunset. The future seemed very good, although there was a deadline. Mi Chan couldn't help but lower her head when she thought of the prophecy, feeling a little shy and embarrassed.
.
Because she was seen by Ying Zheng at that time, even now, Mi Chan can still clearly remember the look of surprise and admiration on Ying Zheng's face at that time.
Mi Chan has her own vision for her future, but within this vision, there is a haze.
The Chu clan is an extremely important piece of the Qin political puzzle.
This was supposed to be a bargaining chip for Mi Chan's identity, but during her interaction with Ying Zheng, Mi Chan realized that it might not be a good thing for herself.
The power of the Chu family is already strong enough. Can Ying Zheng allow one more queen from the Chu Kingdom?
"Don't be so gloomy at such a young age." Michan, who was so melancholy that she couldn't extricate herself, didn't notice at all. At some point, Ying Zheng had turned his attention from the sunset to her.
"I didn't." Michan replied instinctively.
Ying Zheng did not argue with Mi Chan, but walked behind him and said: "It's time to go back now, otherwise, grandma will think that Gu abducted you."
Hearing this, Michan quickly followed with a hint of shyness.
Michan walked into the main hall and found that everyone was looking at Ying Zheng and herself, and subconsciously shrank her body behind Ying Zheng.
Mi Chan's reaction made Empress Dowager Huayang look happy, but when it fell in Zhao Ji's eyes, she couldn't help but frown. As for Han Ji, she smiled and said nothing. Instead, Cheng Yu's wife Bai showed her face.
A look of envy. Once upon a time, she also had such a longing.
Ying Zheng Shiran sat down and chatted with Zhao Ji and others.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the Chu clan?" Just when the atmosphere was very harmonious, Queen Mother Huayang suddenly asked a very sensitive question.
"Chu lineage? Where did grandma start talking about it?" Ying Zheng pretended to be confused and asked.
The Chu Clan, an important piece of the political puzzle of the Qin State, has been in charge of the Qin State for more than 20 years. Even now, it still has important influence, a force that even Lu Buwei must treat with caution.
"Literally speaking, Your Majesty, do you know how the Chu family came into being?" Queen Mother Huayang continued.
Ying Zheng's eyes couldn't help but fall on Queen Mother Huayang's question. Looking at the too young grandmother Queen Mother in front of him, Ying Zheng had a suspicion in his heart that this was what Dai Michan was asking.
"I know a little bit about it," Ying Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know?" Queen Mother Huayang asked in surprise.
Her real purpose in asking this question was to state the true nature of the Chu Clan to Ying Zheng, so as to prevent Ying Zheng from caring about Mi Chan. However, she never expected that Ying Zheng's answer turned out to be that she knew a little bit about it.
Based on Queen Mother Huayang's understanding of Ying Zheng, she would naturally not think that she was pretending to understand.
But, how much does he know about the things behind the Chu family?
"The Chu dynasty has existed for a long time. Since the Qin State helped the Chu State recover in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the relationship between the two countries has been very good. From the royal family to the common people, there have been many intermarriages. Even if they are orphans, in detail, there are
The blood of the Chu Kingdom family also flows. For hundreds of years, there are not a few people who have blood ties with the Chu Kingdom, whether in the court or in the countryside." Ying Zhengdao.
"So the Chu family is very powerful." Queen Mother Huayang said.
"No, it's not that the Chu clan is very powerful." Ying Zheng denied.
"Um? Your Majesty has a different view?" Queen Mother Huayang said.
Zhao Ji watched the whole discussion between the Queen Mother Huayang and Ying Zheng's ancestors and grandsons, and found that she had no room to interrupt at all.
Of course, Zhao Ji knew about the Chu Clan. She knew that the Chu Clan, headed by the Queen Mother Huayang, had great influence on the Qin court. It was precisely because of this that although she was willing to marry Michan into the palace, she was not willing to do so.
If Mi Chan is willing to become the Queen of Qin, the power of the Chu family cannot be strengthened.
"It's not so much that the Chu family is too powerful, but that my grandmother is too powerful," Ying Zheng said.
"How do you say this?" Queen Mother Huayang asked with interest.
"I have been very curious about the Chu clan for a while. I thought at that time why there was such a division between the Chu clan and the Chu clan in the Qin court, and who was the first to make the conclusion about the Chu clan." Ying Zheng said.
"Why would your Majesty think of this?" Queen Mother Huayang asked curiously.
"Because the emergence of the Chu clan in the Qin State was very different. If those people from the Chu clan proposed such a name at that time, it would be absolutely stupid. By naming the court of the Qin State with the word 'Chu', do you think you have not made enough enemies?
?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
Ying Zheng has always found it very strange about the Chu power that now has a decisive influence on the Qin court.
Why did the title "Chu Clan" appear in the court of the Qin State? This is simply to make the entire Qin State an enemy. It is weird and inconsistent with common sense. Therefore, the Chu Clan was definitely not proposed by those who were called the Chu Clan back then.
of.
"Your Majesty, that's a good statement." Empress Dowager Huayang said with a smile. With Ying Zheng's words, she already knew that Ying Zheng didn't have much prejudice against people like her, which was a good thing for Mi Chan.
Thinking of this, Queen Mother Huayang looked at Michan and saw the confused look on her niece's face. She couldn't help but shake her head, this silly girl.
