In the afternoon, Sun Sansan and I removed the weeds in the courtyard again, and Cai Xue boiled water for us to make tea.
Under our management, the entire courtyard gradually showed its original outline.
Because I had to go to the Prince's Mansion to meet the Prince in the evening, I ended my work early, and Caixue prepared hot water for me to take a bath.
Qin is not as good as Dakang.
When I take a bath, I don't need others to wait on me.
There are a lot of blood bubbles on my palms.
It takes a lot of effort to bathe.
Putting on clean underwear and robes, a feeling of comfort arises spontaneously.
The comfort and ease after work cannot be described in words.
Sun Sansan rinsed it with the bath water I had washed.
After washing it, he said humorously: "I am indeed right to follow Prince Ping.
I will be able to bathe in the emperor's grace every day from now on."
I laughed, even though I was already in The prison is far more open-minded than in Dakang.
I found a gift for the Crown Prince of Qin from the gift list.
They were a pair of ingeniously crafted emerald horses.
The two horses were galloping with their hooves spread out.
They were in good shape, with their heads held high and their tails flicking.
Their heads were slightly to the left, and their three legs were in the air. , only the right hind foot landed on the back of a flying dragon bird.
The horse's thick and round body is full of strength, but its movements are so light and full of pride.
Feiyan seems to be looking back, shocked by the unexpected encounter with the same galloping horse.
It is a metaphor for the transcendental state of "raising a whip and only birds competing to fly".
Both Sun Sanfen and Caixue couldn't help but admire: "It's really a work of art."
I nodded.
With this jade carving, I should be able to gain a good impression on Prince Qin.
At dusk, the Yan people sent a car to pick me up.
I boarded the carriage with a carefully selected brocade box.
Sun Sanfen and Caixue stayed at the Zhizi Mansion according to my instructions, and two guards accompanied me.
The Prince of Qin, whose surname is Yan, whose given name is Yuanji, whose courtesy name is Chuqiu, is now twenty-nine years old.
He is also the commander-in-chief of the Qin Navy.
He is one of the most powerful figures in the Qin State.
Yan Yuanji is a hospitable person and has three thousand guests at his door.
Because of his generosity, And famous all over the world.
The carriage that picked me up was much shabbier than the one that first arrived in Daqin.
The carriage was broken in many places, and cold wind blew in from time to time through the cracks.
It seemed that Yan Yuanji's generosity was not used on me.
The Prince's Mansion is located in the east of Qindu City, less than three miles away from the Zhizi Mansion where I live.
It was completely dark when I got off the car, and there were many nobles and nobles around who were walking towards the Prince's Mansion.
It seemed that Prince Qin had invited many people to tonight's dinner.
Accompanied by two guards, I arrived at the door of the mansion.
I first identified myself to the doorkeepers, and then walked in with gifts in their contemptuous eyes.
I am used to seeing the splendor of the Dakang Palace, but the Prince's Mansion of Qin State only gave me the impression of being ordinary.
The only praiseworthy thing is that the building is surprisingly tall, but the entire mansion does not have any exquisite decorations, which further proves that the Qin Dynasty pragmatic point of view.
When I walked into the banquet hall, I met Yan Zimin, the seventh-grade deacon.
He led me to sit down at the last seat on the left, but he had no intention of introducing Prince Qin to me.
Prince Qin Yan Yuanji walked in from the side door in front of everyone.

He was more than seven feet tall, with a strong build, bronze skin, handsome face, and full of strong masculinity.
He nodded to everyone one by one, but his eyes never fell on me.
The servants in the mansion served us wine and food.
There were only four kinds of food, three vegetarian and one meat.
The wine was the most common sorghum roast.
As the prince of the Qin Dynasty, it would seem a bit shabby to hold a banquet of this size.
I raised my glass and toasted with the crowd.
It seemed that I had no chance to talk to the prince tonight.
After three rounds of drinking, Prince Qin Yan Yuanji's eyes suddenly turned to me: "Your Highness Prince Ping, are you satisfied with your stay?"
As soon as I said this, I immediately realized that he had seen me a long time ago and was just pretending.
Just didn't see it.
I replied respectfully: "The prince's arrangements are quite thorough, Yinkong is very grateful."
Yan Yuanji burst out laughing.
He raised his glass and said, "Since you are satisfied, you will have a drink with me."
Naturally, I didn't dare to refuse his request, so I raised my glass cheerfully and drank the spicy wine in one gulp.
Yan Yuanji smiled and said: "Prince Ping is really happy.
Today is your first time in the capital of Qin.
I will wash away the dust for you with this glass."
He picked up the wine glass again.
I had to have another drink with him.
Yan Yuanji said: "Prince Ping has been holding this brocade box in his hand since he entered.
I don't know what is inside."
His words reminded me.
I stood up and said, "There is a gift from Yin Kong to the prince."
"Oh, Dakang is a rich and prosperous country.
King Ping's actions must be extraordinary.
Open it and take a look."
I felt proud in my heart.
In addition to the princes and nobles of Qin State, there were also princes from various countries present.
Displaying Dakang's treasures in front of them was also a matter of showing one's face.
I carried the brocade box to the center of the hall and took out the pair of horse-trapping swallows.
There was a burst of admiration in the hall.
It was obvious that the gift was unusual.
Yan Yuanji didn't even glance at the gift.
He said to the crowd: "Brother Jingyan, you have a lot of experience in jade treasures.
It's up to you to evaluate them."
A chubby young man sitting on the right stood up.
He was Zhang Jingyan, the second prince of the Zhongshan Kingdom.
The Zhongshan Kingdom had long been reduced to a vassal of the Qin State.
He was no different from an ordinary retainer in front of the Qin Prince.
Zhang Jingyan came to me with a smile, looked the gift up and down, and then sneered contemptuously: "Your Highness, from what Jingyan has seen, these two horses are made of flying swallows.
Although the workmanship is exquisite, they are made of colored glaze.
Crude fake."
I was shocked in my heart.
I didn't expect that he would talk nonsense.

Just when I was about to tell the difference, I saw an extremely complicated look flash in Yan Yuanji's eyes.
Could it be that they had colluded in advance to deliberately humiliate me, Da Kang, in front of others.
Among the guests, there were several impatient guests who could no longer restrain themselves and shouted loudly: "Long Yinkong, you are going too far.
You actually used such counterfeit things to deceive the prince.
Don't you want to live?"
I hurriedly knelt down on the ground, pretending to be extremely frightened.
My body couldn't help trembling, and my voice trembled: "Yinkong really doesn't know."
In other people's eyes, I was so frightened that I almost shed tears.
But Yan Yuanji laughed and said: "How can you be so rude and disturb our distinguished guests?"
He came over from the seat in person and helped me up from the ground.
I said in a trembling voice: "Prince, please don't kill me."
"You are my distinguished guest, how could I kill you?"
Yan Yuanji looked contemptuous.
He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Go back and sit down."
I walked back tremblingly, deliberately pretending to have tripped, and fell to the ground in embarrassment, which caused another burst of harsh laughter.
Yan Yuanji looked at my embarrassment and shook his head helplessly.
He picked up the pair of horses on the ground and stepped on the two swallows: "The ancients have a saying, goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away, but courtesy is light and affection is heavy.
King Ping has traveled thousands of miles to come to his heart."
It's commendable, and his intentions can be expressed.
As for what kind of gift he gave, why do you need to delve into it?"
He stared at the Pegasus: "What I care about is not these gifts, but Prince Ping's sincerity."
Everyone looked at him with respect.
My eyes were red, tears of excitement flashed in my eyes, but I scolded Yan Yuanji a thousand times in my heart.
This bastard not only insulted me and Dakang, but also treated this precious pair of horses.
Feiyan didn't let go either
