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

Chapter 29 Wine and Women Ruined Me!

The sun is rising.

Sunlight streamed through the windows into Gongzi Jia's residence.

With a slight twitch of his eyebrows, Zhao Jia instinctively placed one hand on his forehead and slowly opened his eyes.

Although he was awake, Zhao Jia still felt a splitting headache!

"Somebody come!"

Soon, a maid brought out the hangover soup that had been prepared beforehand.

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Zhao Jia sat on the edge of the bed for a long time before the headache gradually subsided.

But what immediately flooded his mind was a memory that sent chills down his spine.

Recalling what happened when he was drunk, Zhao Jia's whole body began to tremble.

"Damn it, how could I...?"

He has always been self-disciplined, but this time, while drunk, he made such a big mistake!

Without summoning any more servants to help him wash and change, Zhao Jia began searching the entire house.

"No...and not here either..."

"It's true, the marriage certificate has already been delivered to Yuki..."

Zhao Jia sat on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat lost and dejected.

He had prepared that marriage certificate beforehand, purely to please Xueji, but he never intended for it to become a reality!

As long as he can deceive her, taking a concubine is fine, since he does have some feelings for Xue Ji.

A legal wife? That's impossible!

He, Zhao Jia, is a prince of the Zhao state and the former crown prince!

Even if Yukihime is unwilling, he won't suffer any loss; he can simply deny it.

What influence could a dancer possibly have on him?

Little did I expect that what was meant to be a drunken ploy to lull others into a false sense of security would end up causing such a huge problem.

Not only did they produce the marriage certificate, but they didn't even get the person in their arms.

Most importantly, he encountered Lord Changxin and Zhao Qian of Qin, and the two of them even signed their names on the marriage certificate to be his witnesses!

He might still be able to appease Yukihime, even if it means coercion.

With those two around, he couldn't back out even if he wanted to.

"Zhao Qian, and Lord Changxin of Qin!"

Zhao Jia gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and slammed it heavily onto the table in front of him.

Unfortunately, the sword struck the sharp edge of a bamboo slip on the table, causing blood to gush out immediately.

But he no longer cared about his injuries.

That marriage certificate is the most urgent matter!

"Yukihime, why are you forcing me?"

"This marriage certificate has driven me to a dead end!"

He showed neither the inappropriate behavior he displayed when drunk, nor the usual refined and scholarly demeanor.

At this moment, Zhao Jia's face looked rather ugly and ferocious.

Although King Zhao favored Zhao Qian because of his relationship with Queen Chang, he was not entirely without a chance.

He also had the support of Li Mu and a group of people, and although he appeared to be drunk and decadent, having given up the competition for that position, he was actually secretly investigating a major scandal involving the Empress Dowager...

If he can uncover the scandal and obtain sufficient evidence, he can bring down the Empress Dowager; he still has a great chance!

But now, a marriage certificate has driven him to a dead end.

He could not possibly marry a dancer, let alone a proper wife as stipulated in the marriage certificate!

Back then, King Daoxiang of Zhao insisted on marrying a courtesan as his concubine, and eventually made her his queen. Li Mu was very dissatisfied and repeatedly advised him against it.

If he marries a dancer, will Li Mu abandon him?

Will those who still support him even after he has been crippled be disappointed?

However, if they do not acknowledge it, with Zhao Qian and Lord Changxin as witnesses, the two will surely spread the word.

With a marriage certificate as proof, and with Zhao Qian and Lord Changxin as witnesses, wouldn't he become a faithless villain who deceived women?

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost!

"What should I do... Yukihime, tell me!"

Zhao Jia growled in a somewhat hysterical manner.

a long time.

The room finally fell silent again.

The bleeding on Zhao Jia's hand had stopped naturally, but he did not choose to bandage the wound.

At this moment, Zhao Jia's expression finally returned to calm.

He carefully tidied his clothes and styled his hair, tying it up with a hairpin.

He still looks like the same refined and elegant young master.

Zhao Jia then found a small box in the room and took out a piece of beautiful jade from inside.

Then, he took off the jade pendant from his waist, stared at it for a long time, and finally crushed it in one go.

"Yukihime, please don't blame me."

"It was all Lord Changxin and Zhao Qian who misled me."

He seemed to have found a reason to convince himself.

"If you have to blame someone, blame them..."

Just as Li Wu saw, and just as Ying Jing said, Gongzi Jia did indeed have some feelings for Xue Ji.

However, having feelings doesn't mean anything.

For many, emotions must give way to power.

……

For three whole days, Ying Jing stayed in the post station and did not leave.

He was not in a hurry to see the King of Zhao.

King Zhao did not send anyone to urge him on; he was pleased with this arrangement.

As long as Lord Changxin, Ying Jing, remained in Zhao, Qin would not be able to send troops against Zhao.

Now, what the Zhao state needs most is time—enough time to defeat the Yan state and seize sufficient benefits.

Gan Luo, on the other hand, has been quite busy these days, visiting many powerful figures in the Zhao state.

However, his plans did not go smoothly. While he could get along well with other powerful figures, Gan Luo encountered a setback with Guo Kai.

"Your status is insufficient."

In the hall, facing Gan Luo's report, Ying Jing simply chuckled: "Moreover, Guo Kai is insatiably greedy; he wouldn't even look at the little stuff you brought."

"Let's not worry about it for now. I will pay you a visit in person after some time."

After Gan Luo left, the benevolent Jing returned to his lazy demeanor and leisurely returned to his room.

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

With that, Lord Changxin lay down on the soft couch.

Li Wu rolled her eyes at him, but still moved gracefully, displaying her elegant and charming figure.

Perhaps she lacks the elegance that Yukihime exudes in every move, but Liwu's dance is undeniably charming.

especially……

The dance is exclusively for Nagato-kun, allowing for greater intimacy.

For a common man like Ying Jing, Li Wu's dance was far more appealing.

"The spring night is too short and the sun rises high; from then on, the emperor no longer holds morning court."

Lord Changxin rubbed his lower back and sighed softly.

Wine and women have ruined me; from today onward, I will abstain from alcohol!

After Li Wu finished her dance, she slowly lay down next to Ying Jing, her soft body rolling gently as she snuggled into his arms.

"If Your Majesty wants to emulate King Zhou, then Li Wu is unwilling to become Daji. In that case, Li Wu would become a sinner. After being cooped up in the post station for three days, Your Majesty should go out for a stroll."

Ying Jing shook his head slightly: "I'm just waiting for news."

"Your Majesty, there's news about the matter you entrusted to us."

Outside the room, Zhen Gang's cold voice could be heard.
