Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 342 - 156: Ying Zheng: If He Were Her Son, I Would H

Ying Zheng believed it when others said he feared death, but he did not believe it when Zhao Feng said so.

"I truly fear death," Zhao Feng said, looking as if he were about to cry.

He charged into the fray to collect Attributes. He also had his own formidable Strength to rely on; otherwise, he never would have charged. After all, the feeling of collecting Attributes and Lifespan was one that Zhao Feng enjoyed far too much.

"Now that I have arranged a marriage for you, when do you plan to hold the wedding? In Xianyang or your hotown?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.

"My mother dislikes traveling. Naturally, the wedding banquet will be held in my hotown," Zhao Feng replied.

"That’s a pity. Then I cannot attend. Shaqiu is more than a thousand miles away from Xianyang," Ying Zheng said with a hint of disappointnt.

Clearly, had the wedding banquet been held in Xianyang, Ying Zheng would have attended. But as the king of a nation, such a long journey was ultimately inconvenient.

"If the Great King wishes to attend the wedding banquet, how could I refuse?" Zhao Feng said with a chuckle. "I can hold one in Xianyang and another in my hotown."

He had promised Wang Yan the greatest wedding banquet the world had ever seen. Without the Great King’s attendance, how could it be called the greatest?

Listening to Zhao Feng’s words, Ying Zheng smiled faintly, "That would be acceptable."

"If the Great King agrees, that would be wonderful," Zhao Feng said, genuinely happy. "Then, in the next two months, the Great King will have to attend three wedding banquets."

If he could connect to the future right now, Zhao Feng would have wanted to start a live broadcast: ’Emperor Qin Shi Huang Attends a Wedding Banquet!’

"To be honest," Ying Zheng said, his voice filled with emotion, "had you not been engaged to Wang Jian’s daughter, I would have considered giving you my daughter in marriage."

"The Great King should keep his daughter. I have no desire to serve an ancestor," Zhao Feng replied with brutal honesty.

Hearing the word "ancestor," even Ying Zheng laughed in amusent and slight annoyance. "Do you think all my daughters are unreasonable creatures? To think you would even disdain a daughter of mine."

"I’m marrying a wife to build a life with, not so my mother has to face a princess every day—one she can’t offend and can’t touch. So, the Great King’s daughters should be left to those other young and talented n."

Accustod to the Great King’s tone, Zhao Feng had completely relaxed and was no longer afraid.

"Others can’t beco my son-in-law even if they beg for it. You, kid, are really sothing else," Ying Zheng said, shaking his head and feigning extre frustration.

"Haha, Great King," Zhao Feng quickly changed the subject, raising the wine jug in a toast to Ying Zheng. "Let’s drink! We’ll drink our fill today. We won’t stop until you are thoroughly drunk."

"Good," Ying Zheng laughed heartily. "I’d like to see which of us gets drunk first today."

In the steaming hot spring, Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng drank wine and ate at, conversing in a very harmonious and pleasant manner.

At this mont, Ying Zheng had also rarely set aside his kingly majesty, and Zhao Feng no longer treated him as the one and only Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Instead, he treated him like an ordinary friend, chatting and drinking wine. Ti quietly slipped by.

「Outside the Hot Spring Pavilion.」

Zhao Gao, along with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, was still waiting in silence. The loud bursts of laughter that occasionally ca from within the pavilion startled Zhao Gao and all the attending servants, leaving them speechless with shock.

Especially Zhao Gao, who had always served him closely. He would never mistake the sound of Ying Zheng’s hearty, genuine laughter.

"Director," an eunuch said in a low voice, bowing, "the Great King seems different today than he has in the past."

As soon as the words were spoken, Zhao Gao shot him a chilling glare. "Do you dare to gossip about the Great King?" Zhao Gao asked coldly.

"This servant wouldn’t dare," the eunuch who had spoken exclaid in fright, hastily kneeling. "Director, please forgive ."

Although in the eyes of the court’s many powerful ministers, Zhao Gao was just a servant, a eunuch, to the servants within the Royal Palace, he was an existence that held the power of life and death over them.

"Go tell Mrs. Hu," Zhao Gao said to the kneeling eunuch, "the Great King will not be coming over tonight."

"Understood." The eunuch imdiately scrambled away.

Only after he had left did Zhao Gao turn his gaze back to the Hot Spring Pavilion.

Indeed, the Great King today is different from the past. This Zhao Feng has received such generous favor from the Great King; not only bathing together in the hot spring but also preparing to drink and talk all through the night. If Prince Hu Hai could gain the support of this Zhao Feng, he alone would be worth more than the many ministers who support Fusu. But how exactly can Zhao Feng be won over? He already has power. Could it be that he desires beauty?

As the one who had served the King of Qin the longest and knew him best, he naturally understood that the Great King’s favor toward Zhao Feng today was unprecedented. This made him place even greater importance on Zhao Feng.

「The Eldest Imperial Son’s Mansion.」

"Chancellor," a subordinate ca before Wang Wan to report, "news has co from the palace."

"What is it?" Wang Wan asked imdiately.

"The Great King and Zhao Feng went to the Hot Spring Pavilion to bathe together. Not only that, but the Great King also had several jugs of wine and so at sent over. His laughter has been heard from within the palace frequently. It is clear how much favor the Great King shows this Zhao Feng," the subordinate reported respectfully.

Wang Wan nodded with a complex expression, then waved his hand. "You may leave."

"Understood." The subordinate imdiately withdrew.

It seems I still underestimated the Great King’s favor towards Zhao Feng. The Great King not only allowed Zhao Feng to stay in the Royal Palace but has also kept him there now that night has fallen. This is a privilege that no one has ever been granted before.
