Chapter 405 Eat Well
The Snow Girl covered her red lips lightly, she knew that this bracelet was not an ordinary thing.
But I didn't expect it to be so valuable.
In Yafei Pavilion, the famous dancers and prostitutes in Handan only earned one or two hundred gold coins a year.
This pair of jade bracelets cost three thousand gold coins, and it would take them twenty to thirty years to buy them.
The Snow Girl hesitated for a moment, then took off the bracelet and protected it carefully.
Cheng Jiao didn't expect the Snow Girl to be like this.
"It's just a pair of bracelets. There's no need to hide them."
He has plenty of money, so it doesn't matter if the bracelet breaks or gets smashed.
The Snow Girl subconsciously said, "If it breaks accidentally, the child will be gone."
Ya Fei asked softly, "What child?"
The Snow Girl's pretty face was suddenly dyed red.
"Ah, this, nothing..."
Ya Fei looked at Xue Nu suspiciously, her eyes falling on Cheng Jiao.
What exactly happened? It was only past midnight, and the Snow Girl seemed to be completely in love with Cheng Jiao.
It seems like she still wants to have a child. Is it really necessary to be so mysterious?
Cheng Jiao smiled and did not expose the Snow Girl.
The Snow Girl is still too thin-skinned.
But when I think of the snow girl with her big belly, well...she needs to work harder.
"Cheng Jiao, the king has sent someone to summon you."
Ya Fei put away the idea of teasing Xue Nu and was happy for her when she saw how happy she was.
Snow Girl asked nervously, "Does the King of Zhao want to hold the young master accountable?"
Ya Fei shook her head and said, "Definitely not. What happened last night was all caused by Zhao Qian's rudeness. My brother is not that stupid. Apart from punishing Guo Kai, the matter should be over. Fortunately, Cheng Jiao is here, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be hard to say."
Xue Nu held Cheng Jiao's hand tightly and asked, "Sister Ya Fei, can you come to the palace with the young master?"
Ya Fei said with a smile: "You know how to help your lover so quickly. Well, it's just right. I am also going to the palace. Then I will accompany Cheng Jiao for once and let you feel at ease."
The Snow Girl said shyly, "Thank you, Sister Yafei."
Ya Fei said briskly: "We have known each other for so many years, how can I let you down?"
Cheng Jiao watched with a smile, Ya Fei and Xue Nu had a really good relationship.
……
On the carriage to the Zhao Palace, Concubine Ya whispered, "I asked around and it seems that Brother Wang is planning to discuss yesterday's alliance with you."
"As expected."
Ya Fei chuckled and said, "Where did you find this little brat? He's so eloquent that he almost fooled my brother. The news has spread all over the court and the country."
Cheng Jiao explained: "He is Gan Mao's grandson, a young genius."
Ya Fei understood: "No wonder, his family is well-educated, he is worthy of being the grandson of the Prime Minister."
After thinking for a while, Ya Fei warned: "You have to be careful, Queen. Her son was treated like that by you last night. I'm afraid he won't care about your identity as the Qin envoy and will treat you... Oh! I forgot that you are a celestial being and he can't do anything to you, hehe."
Thinking that Queen Chang would be humiliated by Cheng Jiao, Ya Fei smiled heartlessly.
Cheng Jiao seemed to be thinking about something. This Queen Chang's brain was similar to Zhao Ji's. Her skills were all focused on intrigue.
The only thing that was worse than Zhao Ji was that her son still didn’t ascend to the throne.
Otherwise, he would have started playing tricks a long time ago.
Without the cooperation of the Queen, Guo Kai might not have been able to achieve such a "wonderful" result.
Li Mu and others are not here just to eat and do nothing.
Zhao Palace, a quiet and cool courtyard.
Zhao Ya waved her hand: "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."
Cheng Jiao waved goodbye to Zhao Ya and walked in, just in time to see King Zhao Yan admiring the flowers.
To his surprise, the Queen was there too. But her expression was not good, especially after he came in, her hostility was barely concealed at all.
However, it must be said that the queen, who was a few years younger than Zhao Ji, was extremely charming and was obviously the result of being pampered.
What a mature and beautiful woman.
Cheng Jiao took a look at the plump and graceful queen and made a silent comment.
A woman like this, coupled with her pair of seductive eyes, it is no wonder that King Yan of Zhao was so obsessed with her.
"Lord Chang'an, your follower yesterday was really amazing. He almost caused me to suffer a great loss."
Zhao Yan invited Cheng Jiao to sit down.
Cheng Jiao said, "Your Majesty, your words are too serious. Cooperation between two countries should be based on fairness. It is unreasonable to let a partner suffer. When I return, I will punish Gan Luo."
"Haha, it seems that Chang'an Jun is the youngest and most promising one. Let's not talk about this matter. What Chang'an Jun said, I and all the officials have agreed. I wonder when Qin will send troops?"
"The army is already at the border and can be deployed at any time."
"The Qin State is really warlike."
"In a time of strife, all nations that do not like war will become warring states."
"Warring States? That's a good name. When will Prince Dan of Yan be sent back to Yan?"
"It's time to mobilize the troops."
"Is Qin going to abandon its policy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones?"
"There is no such thing as making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones. It is just that the times are different and we are planning for the interests of our respective countries."
King Yan of Zhao had murderous intentions in his heart. If such a great man assisted the State of Qin, it would definitely harm the State of Zhao.
"What Lord Chang'an said is correct. This month I will dispatch troops and join forces with Qin to attack Zhao. However, I have one thing Lord Chang'an needs to agree to."
Zhao Yan looked at Cheng Jiao and said slowly.
"What's the matter?"
"How about staying in Handan for a while while attacking Yan?"
Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "Handan's prosperity has blinded me, so I'd like to enjoy some fun."
He had never thought of leaving during the attack on Yan, otherwise, even if Zhao Yan dispatched troops to besiege him, he could easily leave.
"That's... very good."
Led by the palace maid, Cheng Jiao left the quiet courtyard.
The Queen asked softly, "Does Your Majesty trust him so much?"
Zhao Yan said sternly: "Of course not. After attacking Yan, I will keep him in Zhao, regardless of life or death!"
The Queen smiled with satisfaction, "Your Majesty is wise. Here, Your Majesty, this is the nourishing and soothing soup that I have been cooking for three hours. It is very good for your health."
Zhao Yan's face fell, "Can you please stop drinking? It doesn't taste good."
The queen's eyes were cold, and she smiled and said, "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Your Majesty, please don't refuse it. I haven't had sex with your Majesty for a long time. Your Majesty, please get better soon."
"Alas! Queen, I am sorry for you. Drink, drink now!"
Queen Chang was very pleased. Finally, with her unremitting efforts, she had brought Zhao Yan to this point without anyone noticing.
In another year or two, he will be able to meet the King of Hell, making way for Qian'er to take the throne.
By then, she will be no worse than that woman Zhao Ji!
I thought about how I wanted to learn Zhao Wu from Zhao Ji, but was kicked out without even seeing her.
She swore that one day she would trample Zhao Ji under her feet.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji seemed to have a lucky rapport. Not only did she become the queen, she also soon became the queen mother, which made her very depressed.
This is outrageous, why is Zhao Ji so lucky!
Seeing Zhao Yan finish drinking the medicine soup, the Queen put on a smile again, "How do you feel, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Yan laughed and said, "Very good, it's not bitter anymore. This soup is delicious."
The Queen smiled and said, "I asked the imperial physician to specially prepare it and remove the bitter herbs."
In order to prevent Zhao Yan from noticing anything unusual, she tried various methods to make sure Zhao Yan "ate well" in every aspect.
