Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 237 Mandate from Heaven

Dawn breaks.

At 3:45 AM, the sky was already bright.

The seventy-two white jade steps of the Xinzheng Royal Palace were all gilded by the rising sun, radiating a dazzling light.

Nine bronze tripods with black bird patterns are arranged along the central path. Inside the tripods, burning mugwort mixed with agarwood incense produces blue smoke that rises like dragons and snakes coiling around the pillars.

Ying Jing then led all the women to watch the ceremony below, surrounded by envoys from various countries, Korean officials, and members of the royal family.

Yan Dan, Longyang Jun, Zhang Kaidi, Bai Yifei, and even Mingzhu, etc., basically all came.

"Is that Lord Longyang?"

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, Ying Jing glanced at a "beauty" with great interest out of the corner of his eye.

I must say, he is indeed a very handsome man.

She was eight feet tall, with a well-proportioned figure, red lips and fair skin, arched eyebrows, eyes like peach blossoms, and a high nose bridge. The little bit of rouge she wore was just right, not at all making her seem seductive.

Her skin was delicate and fair, like a woman's, and her long legs were accentuated by an exquisite blue and white robe...

If they hadn't known his gender beforehand, who knows how many men present would have been completely captivated.

Gee!

No wonder King Wei was so inhuman; he had three thousand concubines in his harem but chose to favor one man.

This man is just too devilishly handsome!

Moreover, although Lord Longyang was famous for his beauty and the favor he received from the King of Wei, he was by no means a simple character who merely entertained people with his looks.

At least his senses were very sharp, and he seemed to have already noticed Ying Jing's gaze.

He suddenly turned to look at Ying Jing, his pair of expressive peach blossom eyes blinking gently, and a smile as gentle as a spring breeze blooming on his face.

"I have no homosexual inclinations!"

Ying Jing did not dare to respond to Longyang Jun's overture, as it would be difficult to explain if it caused any misunderstanding later.

Ying Jing didn't care about being a womanizer, but he absolutely couldn't accept such a reputation.

"Fortunately, I've seen all sorts of storms and waves, and I'm surrounded by countless beauties..."

To firmly express his affection, Ying Jing suddenly embraced Hong Lian with his left hand.

The latter did not resist; instead, she habitually moved even closer, tiptoeing to whisper playfully in his ear, "Longyang Jun is so beautiful, doesn't my husband find you attractive?"

Ying Jing didn't speak, but simply patted the girl's ample bosom to show his attitude.

Lord Longyang also witnessed this intimate scene, and his smile immediately became even more enthusiastic.

Ying Jing felt somewhat bewildered, so he simply ignored it and casually put his right arm around the beauty beside him.

Hmm... the feel seems a little off?

"Lord Changxin?"

The sky-blue veil covering the moon goddess's face could not conceal the strange light in her eyes, and the warmth emanating from the heavy hand on her waist made her delicate body tremble slightly.

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

"Finally...is Lord Changxin finally going to make his move against me?"

"Senior sister, you're still going to lose."

Without any resistance, the Moon Goddess even wished that Ying Jing could go further.

Unfortunately, now is not the time.

Ying Jing swore that he did it on purpose...

The moon goddess followed him all the way to Hanoi and then to Korea; he couldn't let her follow him for nothing...

Even the strongest conviction needs to be shown to her, right?

The two young masters of fate, one in black and one in white, were getting a little impatient.

They were acting on the orders of the Eastern Lord!

But so far, not only have they made no progress, but the Moon Goddess has also taken advantage of their weaknesses?

Absolutely not!

"Changxin-jun, could you please continue reading my palm reading from last time?"

"Your Majesty, you said last time that my sister and I were destined to die young, and that only by following this calamity could we be spared from it. Is that true?"

The two sisters were really going all out, and without a care in the world, they squeezed themselves against Ying Jing's chest.

The two young ladies-in-waiting were quite young, and being petite and delicate women, they looked exactly like the two daughters of the benevolent Jing Da...

On one side is the Red Lotus, on the other is the Moon Goddess... and in the middle is the Black and White Shao Siming.

Countless eyes had already gathered around, some curious, some envious, some disdainful, and so on.

"What kind of behavior is this? It's an insult to civility!"

Some of the older scholars' eyes turned red; if it weren't for the vast difference in their social status, they would have rushed forward immediately to stop them.

Of course, not many people share this idea.

"Lord Changxin is truly a man of strong emotions; this is true elegance..."

Lord Longyang clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

Even if they didn't know how to praise someone, they still racked their brains to try and win their favor.

Yan Dan has been very quiet all day.

He frowned silently, looking somewhat melancholy, clearly not in the mood to deal with these trivial matters.

Whether it was due to excessive pressure or being plotted against, Yan Dan noticed something amiss this morning after waking up...

That rumor has come true!

This was a huge blow to Yan Dan, and she remained in a daze ever since.

Regardless of whether anyone else adds fuel to the fire, the fact that he openly flirted with the beautiful woman beside him in this setting completely cemented Changxin Jun's reputation as a womanizer.

It suddenly got a bit chilly around Madam Mingzhu's place, causing Hu Meiren to instinctively wrap her coat tighter around herself...

Fortunately, Jing Dashanren's unbridled indulgence in the pleasures of the land did not last long.

"Dang~"

In front of the main hall of the Han King's Palace, a newly cast bronze bell has been rung.

Its sound was deafening, and the sound waves reverberated for miles around.

Play the Yellow Bell, sing the Great Lü, and dance the Cloud Gate!

As the shaman chanted ancient verses, Han Fei accepted the crimson jade tablet presented by the Imperial Clan Head.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, including Ying Jing.

Countless eyes were already focused on the front of the seventy-two white magnolia steps.

Han Fei, dressed in a black ceremonial robe with twelve symbols, stood on the altar. Nine jade tassels hung down in front of his forehead, covering the usual playful and frivolous look in his eyes, leaving only his solemn, white jade-like chin.

From this moment on, he was no longer the Ninth Prince Han Fei, nor the Legalist Han Fei.

Rather, it is a new king who belongs to the King of Han.

King Han is not!

At the same time, it also destined him to be the last king of the Han Dynasty, and the king with the shortest reign.

In fact, according to Ying Zheng's original plan, the day Han Fei ascended the throne should have been the day he offered up the country!

However, Ying Jing and Han Fei persuaded him against this idea.

Han Fei still had some things to finish. He hoped to achieve a smooth transition and ensure that the state would not be exploited by ambitious individuals to pursue the idea of ​​restoring the state...

Meanwhile, Ying Jing's side...

It wouldn't be good to have Ying Zheng do this job since he wasn't here!

From dawn to noon, the ceremony was completed before we knew it.

Just when Ying Jing thought that today was just a formality and there wouldn't be any major problems, an unexpected incident still occurred.

Wisps of blue smoke rose from the bronze cauldron, rising in the wind.

This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, but when the wisps of smoke drift into the air and transform into words, it becomes something else entirely.

"By the mandate of Heaven, we will forever resist the tyrannical Qin."

Han Fei's expression changed slightly, and the faces of the spectators, including high-ranking officials and members of the royal family of South Korea, turned deathly pale in an instant.

Only Ying Jing.

He stared at the smoke-like characters floating in the air, and suddenly smiled brightly.
