Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 727  Chapter 298: Zhao Feng: How Am I Emperor Qin Shi Huangʼs Son? Iʼm Stunned! (2)

Xia Dongʼer took one step at a time, moving up the steps.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The Empress of Qin ascended the altar.

As if she was stepping up to the supreme position of Empress of Qin, the mother of the kingdom.

Finally!

Xia Dongʼer walked step by step to the top of the altar.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and tightly held Xia Dongʼerʼs hand.

”Efang.”

”I finally did it.”

”Heavenʼs protection, I havenʼt lost you.”

In front of everyone, Ying Zheng gazed passionately at Xia Dongʼer.

Even though Xia Dongʼer was no longer the teenage girl who had once returned to Qin with Ying Zheng, even though the woman before him was in her mid-thirties with her appearance having changed, and even though she was not among the rare beauties of the world, in Ying Zhengʼs eyes, his Efang was the most beautiful, the best.

And she is his most cherished wife.

In the next moment.

Ying Zheng hugged Xia Dongʼer tightly.

Not wanting to lose her again.

Seeing the two people on the altar embracing each other.

Zhao Fengʼs expression was complex.

”Thinking back and forth.”

”I am actually the son of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, with the blood of the Qin Royal Family.”

”Oh God, youʼve played a huge joke on me.” Zhao Feng thought helplessly.

Yet seeing his mother and Emperor Qin Shi Huang embracing earnestly on the altar.

Their affection was evidently profound.

At this moment.

Zhao Feng finally understood why his mother had always been so resistant to Xianyang, because she had originally escaped from there.

If she hadnʼt fled from Xianyang, perhaps Zhao Ying and he wouldnʼt exist.

Over ten years of upbringing.

The Zhao Feng siblings wouldnʼt have grown up.

”Brother.”

”How can our father be the First Emperor?”

”How is this possible?” Zhao Ying still couldnʼt quite believe it.

Suddenly.

She and her brother had become part of the royal family?

Their mother turned out to be the childhood sweetheart and wife of the First Emperor.

”I didnʼt think of this either.”

”How could anyone have thought of this?”

Zhao Feng also displayed a bitter smile.

Of course.

Besides the two siblings.

Wang Yan, as well as Zhao Fengʼs many concubines, all widened their eyes in disbelief.

”Mother is actually the wife of the First Emperor? The Empress of Qin?”

”Then wouldnʼt my husband be the legitimate eldest prince of Qin?”

”The legitimate eldest prince, and given my husbandʼs military achievements, isnʼt he bound to become the Crown Prince?”

”I actually became the wife of the eldest prince?” Wang Yan was astounded.

It wasnʼt until now.

She understood her fatherʼs peculiar words at times, saying that her good days were yet to come.

And around Wang Yan, the many concubines were also completely overwhelmed by this surprise.

They became the concubines of the eldest prince of Qin, future Crown Princeʼs wives?

This leap in status was immense.

Even though their husband was originally the top military official of Qin, holding high rank and power, subordinate to none but the Emperor, he was ultimately just a subject.

However, with this identity transformation, their husband had turned from a subject into royalty.

”Father.”

”Is this not a joke?”

”Your Majesty became the eldest prince? Doesnʼt that mean Yingʼer is...?” Li You looked dazedly before turning to his father.

”So, you see, youʼre lucky.”

”Thanks to your persistence, otherwise you wouldnʼt have a chance to marry a princess.”

”Moreover, this princess is a legitimate princess; marrying Princess Ying will certainly place our Li Family at the forefront in Qin.” Li Si stroked his beard and smiled.

”Father, you knew all along?” Li You looked at him aghast.

”The day I took you to the palace to meet the Emperor, requesting the First Emperorʼs approval for your marriage, that day, the First Emperor informed me.”

”Otherwise.”

”Why do you think the Empress suddenly agreed to let you into the palace for a proposal, because Princess Ying is the daughter of the First Emperor, her marriage must naturally be authorized by the Emperor.”

”Youʼer, from now on you must treat the princess well, and never forget your promise to the First Emperor, or our family is finished.” Li Si spoke earnestly to Li You.

Marrying a princess can certainly elevate their familyʼs status, but at the same time, the existence of the princess is a taboo.

If the Li Family dared to mistreat, the consequences would be dire.

”Father.”

”Rest assured.”

”Yingʼer is inherently gentle; why would I ever neglect her?” Li You retorted amiably.

After a while.

On the altar.

Ying Zheng slowly released Xia Dongʼer.

Then, holding Xia Dongʼerʼs hand, he walked to the altar, with a sense of excitement and the majesty like Heaven, he loudly declared: ”Heaven bears witness, and all the people of the Daqin World bear witness!”

”Today!”

”I, today, decree my wife Xia Dongʼer as the Empress of Qin, presiding over the harem, mother of the world.”

This proclamation.

It is the first Holy Decree after Ying Zhengʼs ritual Fengshan at Mount Tai, decreeing Xia Dongʼer as the Empress of Qin.

”Ministers greet the Empress.”

Led by Wang Jian.

Along with Han Fei and other ministers, immediately shout in loud reverence to worship.

Even those ministers in the court who harbor resentment at this moment had to bow their heads, reverently worship and shout.

”Efang.”

”Did you see it?”

”The Qin of today is completely under my control, unlike thirty years ago. Now I can protect you, protect our children and grandchildren.” Ying Zheng gazed affectionately at Xia Dongʼer.

”Yes.”

Xia Dongʼer nodded.

”Come, letʼs descend.”

”Look at what expression Fengʼer has.”

With a sense of delight, Ying Zheng held Xia Dongʼerʼs hand and descended from the altar.

Under everyoneʼs eyes.

Ying Zheng held Xia Dongʼer, and step by step descended the altar.

For Ying Zheng.

Today.

He finally openly announced his wife before the world, resolving a knot buried in his heart for years.

When walking down.

Ying Zhengʼs gaze immediately fell on the peculiar expressions of Zhao Feng and his siblings.

”What?”

”I, the revered Lord Wuʼan of Qin, have such an expression?”

Ying Zheng teasingly said to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng looked peculiarly, not knowing what to say.

Regarding Zhao Fengʼs current expression, Ying Zheng was greatly pleased.

The reason for concealing this after the fall of Qi, was for today.

Always.

Before Ying Zheng, Zhao Feng was always stable and never revealed his inner thoughts, but now watching Zhao Fengʼs astonished and complex expression, Ying Zheng felt a sense of contentment.

He was waiting for Zhao Fengʼs astonished look.

”I stand before you, yet you do not call me father?”

Ying Zheng laughed, looking at Zhao Feng, continuing to tease.

Zhao Fengʼs expression became even more peculiar.

Although now it is clear that his mother is indeed the Efang Lady from unrecorded history, and he might truly be the son of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, yet calling him father at this moment, Zhao Feng couldnʼt bring himself to do it.

Right now.

Zhao Feng indeed felt a bit embarrassed.

Standing there made his scalp prickle.

”First Emperor.”

”I have prepared the water for the blood test verification.”

”Please, First Emperor, verify.”

”The Qin Royal Family must not have impure lineage.”

At this time.

Ying Xiʼs voice came up.

He directly approached with a bowl of water.

Seeing Ying Xi.

Ying Zheng furrowed his brow,

He was obviously quite displeased.

”Zongzheng.”

”Even now, you are still not giving up.”

”However.”

”I kindly remind you.”

”If you have tampered with this water in any way, I, will not spare you.”

Ying Zhengʼs cold gaze fell upon Ying Xi.

Hearing this.

Ying Xiʼs heart skipped a beat, but then immediately said: ”I dare not.”

”Everything is for the Qin Royal Family.”

Seeing this.

Ying Zheng faintly laughed: ”Well said, for the Qin Royal Family.”

”To fulfill your wish.”

”I give you a chance.”

”However, this is not your only chance.”

Ying Zhengʼs expression turned stern.

With a wave of his hand.

Ren Xiao came forward and directly took the bowl from Ying Xiʼs hand.

Then.

Ying Zheng loudly said: ”All, atop Mount Tai here is fog water, please, go together and fetch a few bowls for me.”
