Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 403: Chapter 178: Ying Zheng’s Love for His Two Grandchildren

”Great King.”

”I’m just an ordinary woman, there’s no need for the Imperial Guard Army to escort me.” Zhao Ying immediately refused politely.

At best, she was just a physician, although her brother was a Shangjiangjun, she didn’t have much status.

”Your brother sent you to the palace to study medicine. If something happens on the way, he might resent me.”

”Despite the strict laws within Qin, there are quite a few mountain bandits, and you are Zhao Feng’s sister. If other countries know you are unprotected, it would definitely trigger intelligence actions from them.” Ying Zheng smiled slightly, his tone indicating that the Imperial Guard Army must escort her.

He did not give Zhao Ying a chance to negotiate.

Upon seeing this.

Zhao Ying could only nod helplessly, ”Thank you, Great King.”

”When are you planning to set off?” Ying Zheng asked.

”Reporting to the Great King.”

”Miss Zhao plans to set off tomorrow.” Master Chen said.

”So soon?” Ying Zheng’s expression slightly changed, surprised.

Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate a good father-daughter relationship and make up for Zhao Ying.

”This time, I’m going to the Wu’an Military Camp to serve as the chief military doctor, so I need to familiarize myself with it first.” Zhao Ying replied calmly.

She had learned medicine from her mother since childhood and was already skilled in medicine. Now having learned more in the Great Medical Hall, serving as a chief military doctor in a camp was naturally not a problem.

Of course.

The key is indeed that Zhao Ying wants to realize her medical philosophy.

”Very well.”

Ying Zheng could only nod helplessly.

At this moment!

”Great King.”

”The Shangjiangjun Madam is already waiting outside.” A temple official called out respectfully.

”Doctor Chen, you may leave now.” Ying Zheng waved at Master Chen.

Gathering with his family, Ying Zheng naturally did not want to see outsiders.

”Yes.” Master Chen nodded immediately, ready to withdraw.

”By the way.”

”Since Zhao Ying is going to Yunzhong, dispatch some capable great physicians to assist her.”

”Choose carefully.”

”If there are female physicians, let them accompany Zhao Ying.” Ying Zheng instructed again.

”Yes.” Master Chen accepted the order respectfully.

Then he withdrew.

In a little while.

Wang Yan walked into Zhangtai Palace with two little ones.

”This humble wife greets the Great King.” Upon entering the hall, Wang Yan immediately curtsied to Ying Zheng.

Seeing the two little ones beside her curiously looking around the hall, Wang Yan immediately patted their little heads.

”Have you forgotten how your mother taught you just now?”

”Hurry and pay respects.” Wang Yan whispered.

”Greet...greetings, Great King.”

The two little ones spoke in a childish tone and then bowed rather unceremoniously.

As they looked at Ying Zheng sitting above, Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling’s big eyes were filled with curiosity.

”Aunt.”

Upon seeing Zhao Ying nearby, Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling immediately couldn’t hold back, quickly running towards Zhao Ying, each hugging one of her legs.

”Hey.”

Zhao Ying first responded and then looked at Ying Zheng nervously, fearing he would be offended.

She then whispered to her two nephews, ”Qi’er, Ling’er, this is not home, you must behave.”

While saying this, Zhao Ying still glanced secretly at Ying Zheng above, fearing that he might get angry.

However, the anger Zhao Ying imagined did not occur.

Far from being angry, Ying Zheng was still watching the two little ones with a kindly smile.

”My grandchildren.”

”Eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter.”

At this moment, Ying Zheng’s heart was extremely happy.

Though he was not yet forty, with many children born to palace concubines around him, Ying Zheng didn’t feel much closeness to them.

But now.

The two little ones in front of him were his own grandchildren.

And they were the continuation of the bloodline with the woman he loved the most.

The weight of this, the feeling it evoked, was different from others.

Ying Zheng cherished it immensely.

Looking at these two grandchildren, Ying Zheng seemed to see Zhao Feng and Zhao Ying in their childhood, which made him feel even more guilty. If possible, he wanted to make up for it in these two grandchildren.

Make up for Zhao Feng and Zhao Ying.

They didn’t have a father to care for them from a young age, causing their mother to endure quite a bit of hardship.

But henceforth, that would not be the case.

”All of you needn’t be so formal.”

”No need for such restraint within Zhangtai Palace.” Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face.

”Thank you, Great King.” Wang Yan remained serious and restrained.

Belonging to the Wang Family, she naturally inherited Wang Jian’s influence and had a sincere reverence for royal authority.

Watching the two little ones hiding behind Zhao Ying.

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Zhao Gao immediately understood, hastily summoning his subordinates.

In a moment.

A small table was carried into the hall, filled with various food, fruits, and some popular snacks for children.

As expected.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling’s eyes instantly widened.

If their aunt hadn’t held onto their collars, they would have dashed over directly.

After all, they were just over three years old, not knowing much about etiquette.

”You all may leave now.”

”Bring the meal when it’s time to dine within the palace.” Ying Zheng said to Zhao Gao and the serving attendants.

”We, servants, take our leave.”

Zhao Gao, of course, bowed respectfully, then led the attendants away from Zhangtai Palace, closing the hall doors behind them.

”Qi’er, Ling’er.”

”Come here.”

Ying Zheng smiled benignly, beckoning the two little ones with his hand.

The two little ones hesitated, looking at their aunt, then at their mother, showing a very hesitant expression.
