Chapter 292
When Ying Zheng paid the price for his laziness, in another place, someone was paying the price for his ambitions, and it was a heart-wrenching price for his heart.
"Cheng Jiao, what are you thinking?" The Empress Dowager Huayang, who thought she loved Cheng Jiao very much, rarely looked at Cheng Jiao at this time. It was really, Cheng Jiao's approach was too ridiculous.
"Grandmother, I saw that Huayang Palace is too deserted, so I personally selected a few women who can sing and dance for my grandmother to be my usual entertainment." Facing the questioning of Empress Dowager Huayang, Cheng Qi looked innocent and confused.
"Cheng Jiao, you must be at peace." said the Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Grandmother, what do you mean? I wonder what I did, so I made you misunderstand such a misunderstanding by Grandmother." Cheng Chuang said innocently.
"I was wrong." Looking at Cheng Qi's expression, Empress Dowager Huayang was only tired.
"I shouldn't have let you have that idea at the beginning, but now..." Empress Dowager Huayang said this, but she didn't continue to talk. Cheng Qi had grown up, so why would she listen to her? She couldn't help but feel like she was a grandmother who was not related to blood.
"Grandmother, I really don't understand what you are talking about. As for the time, I was just me when I was a child, and now I have grown up." Cheng Qiong said.
"I have accepted your gift, but I will tell the king." said Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Grandmother, what do you mean?" Cheng Qi's face changed, no longer confused, no longer innocent.
"I have no other intentions. Everything depends on how the king understands it." said Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Okay, I admit that these women are indeed what I want to give to Brother Wang by my grandmother. However, I just hope that I can please Brother Wang and hope that he can give me some errands. Ziying is about to be three years old. As a father, I can't always stay in the mansion and do nothing all day long." Cheng Qiong saw that he could no longer hide it, so he simply admitted.
However, his admission is half true and half false. He is using half truth to cover up the other half of his lies, so that people can believe the other half of his lies.
"Is that true?" said Empress Dowager Huayang.
Don’t care about him, Cheng Huai is no longer a child, he can no longer control himself, let alone Ying Zheng? You can solve your business by yourself.
What I can do may be just to come forward at the last moment to save Cheng Jiao's life.
Mrs. Huayang said secretly.
Cheng Qi's ambition made Empress Dowager Huayang helpless, but in this situation, she would not have her own responsibility. If her support made Cheng Qi think like that, the current situation would not have appeared.
She wanted to retreat, but some people were unwilling.
"Yes, who is Brother Wang? In front of such a Qin King who destroyed the Three Kingdoms in five years, not to mention me, even if anyone else did, he would not dare to have that thought that he shouldn't have." Cheng Qi smiled bitterly.
"What official position do you want?" asked Empress Dowager Huayang.
As for Cheng Huayang's words, who knows whether Empress Dowager Huayang believed it? Maybe she believed it, maybe she didn't believe it, maybe she only believed part of it.
"Now that the two places in Yan and Zhao have just decided that a large number of Qin officials are needed. I want to get a position in one of the two places in Yan and Zhao." Cheng Qi said bluntly.
"After the discussion of the great king's court is over, you will come here. You can tell the king about this matter yourself. If he agrees, I have no objection." said Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Yes, I think Brother Wang won't reject me. After all, I don't want anything that is too important to get an official position, I just want to contribute to the Qin Dynasty." Cheng Qi smiled.
In a place where Cheng Qi could not see, two women who were inseparable from each other listened to the conversation between Cheng Qi and Empress Dowager Huayang, and saw a hint of contempt in each other's eyes.
Giving to a woman? Not that.
Then one of the two hurriedly wanted to walk to the palace, but another person also wanted to know the news here.
"Senior Cang sent a maki?" Mi Ling, who was teasing the child, said with a little curiosity when she heard Nuying's oral narration.
"To be more precise, it's a group." The Niaoying replied.
"It's true that there is a group, but there is only one who really wants to give away." Mi Ling smiled.
"Sister doesn't seem to care at all?" Although Nuying was asking, she was also reminding Mi Ling that Cheng Chuang had other purposes.
"What do I care about? Just a woman, are there fewer women in the Qin Palace?" Mi Ling said indifferently.
"Chang'an Jun may have other purposes. No matter what the purpose or facts are, it is an unstable factor for Huayang Palace." Nu Ying reminded in a low voice.
"That was given to the king, not Huayang Palace, so even if it is unstable, it will no longer Huayang Palace." Mi Ling explained.
"That lady should care more."
"How could the king not see what we can all see?" Mi Ling said indifferently.
"Does the king see it? It's the king's business, but you can see it. It's your business whether to remind or not." While the two of them were talking, Empress Dowager Huayang had already walked in with another eavesdropper.
"Auntie is saying?" Mi Ling asked in confusion. Is there anything wrong with her own thoughts?
"Who is the king?" Empress Dowager Huayang did not answer Mi Ling's questions, but asked another question.
"Of course the king is the king of Qin." Mi Ling replied without hesitation.
"You are right, but not all." Empress Dowager Huayang took his grandson from Mi Ling's hand and hugged him skillfully in his arms.
"But is there something wrong?" Mi Ling asked.
"It is true that the king is the King of Qin, but that is for Qin. For you, the king is first your husband and then your child's father." said Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Am I wrong about my previous practice?" Mi Ling said.
"It's not wrong, but it's too much." said Empress Dowager Huayang.
Mi Ling pursues perfection too much and thinks that Ying Zheng likes that kind of herself, but she doesn't see that in Ying Zheng's eyes, there is no perfect woman ever, and the so-called perfect woman is shrouded under a false veil.
"For example, the king can certainly think of the matter you just said, but you can see it clearly but don't say it. You think your approach is very appropriate, but do you know what the king will think?" asked Empress Dowager Huayang.
"What will the king think?" Mi Ling hesitated for a moment, but she really never thought about this question.
"I know Ling'er, you are very smart, but a truly smart woman will hide her wisdom. A person who is too smart will make people feel a sense of distance."
“Sense of distance?”
