Faced with the sudden question.

Zhao Feng was a bit confused.

But as he regained his composure, Zhao Feng waved his hands repeatedly.

"Great King."

"Such matters are for the Great King to ponder, your humble servant dares not speak too much."

"Moreover, I recall the Great King asked this same thing last time." Zhao Feng said somewhat helplessly.

The last time he returned and drank heartily with Ying Zheng in the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng had indeed asked once.

Though last time it was more subtle, he had asked which among his many sons was suitable.

But this time he directly asked who could become the Crown Prince.

Zhao Feng wanted very much to answer.

None of your sons are suited for great responsibility, even Fusu is no exception.

However.

Such words are best kept in one's heart, regardless of how the Qin King may seem exceedingly benevolent toward you, if you truly hit upon his taboo, it's uncertain whether he might turn against you.

"What?"

"None among my sons you deem promising?" Ying Zheng still wore a smiling face.

"Well..."

Zhao Feng could only display hesitation, this too was a form of subtlety.

Seeing Zhao Feng's expression.

Ying Zheng showed no anger: "Indeed, if only my sons had half the resolve you possess."

"Then I would not have to fret anymore."

Ying Zheng looked quite melancholy.

"Great King."

"Children have their own fortune."

"Currently, the Great King still flourishes in the prime of life, no need to worry excessively."

"For now, it's essential to keep an eye on the realm."

"The Three Jins have already fallen, only Qi, Chu, and Yan remain."

"Once those three states are conquered, the Great King will be the greatest ruler of all time." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.

Ying Zheng took a sip from his goblet and, with a mix of jest and sincerity, said: "If only you were my son, how wonderful that would be."

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng shuddered all over in surprise.

He waved his hands hurriedly: "Great King, such words must not be spoken lightly."

"Should the Imperial Censors hear of this, who knows what they might say."

Seeing Zhao Feng's openly rejecting manner, Ying Zheng felt a twinge of regret in his heart, and then asked with surprise: "What? Are you quite displeased at the thought of being my son?"

"Great King, please refrain from jesting."

"Your servant bears no royal bloodline." Zhao Feng chuckled.

If I were Emperor Qin Shi Huang's son, that would truly be a gift from heaven, wouldn't that mean that the future Great Qin Empire would belong to me?

However.

Zhao Feng was quite sure.

He definitively was not.

He was born in Shaqiu but had no connection with the Qin Royal Family.

And historically, there is no record of Emperor Qin Shi Huang having any lost children outside.

Seeing Zhao Feng in this manner, Ying Zheng chuckled, no more words needing to be spoken.

This statement, perhaps, left an impression on Zhao Feng from Ying Zheng.

The day the realm is united and they recognize each other, Zhao Feng would not be so uneasy.

"I heard."

"Li You seems to be quite close to your sister?"

After drinking a sip, Ying Zheng asked abruptly.

His words carried a hint of jealousy.

Seeing Ying Zheng like this.

Zhao Feng's heart shuddered: "Would Emperor Qin Shi Huang truly be interested in my sister? That won't do, at such an age, that's not something I desire."

At this thought.

Zhao Feng immediately said: "My sister has a discerning eye, Li You simply expresses some affection towards my sister, yet my sister has little intention."

After his sister went to Yunzhong.

Li You would almost always find any spare time to visit, Zhao Ying was quite vexed.

Of course.

Regarding Li You's pursuit.

Zhao Feng paid it no mind.

After all, his sister was of an age now.

At this time, Zhao Ying should have been a mother of several children during this era.

Still.

Everything depends on his sister's choice.

If she is unwilling, no one can force her, and as the elder brother, Zhao Feng could ensure this.

However.

What surprised Zhao Feng was Ying Zheng's attention due to Zhao Ying being Ying Zheng's daughter.

Among the accompanying military doctors.

There were Dark Guards from the Heibing Platform.

These people were ordered to protect Zhao Ying, and all matters pertaining to Zhao Ying were directly reported to Ying Zheng.

Regarding Li You's pursuit of Zhao Ying.

As an old father, Ying Zheng naturally felt a bit jealous.

Just like Zhao Feng, his son, Zhao Ying was a precious jewel to him, and Li You now seemed like a delinquent in future times bothering his pure and virtuous daughter.

How could Ying Zheng not be upset?

Yet now he mustn't show it, which vexed him further.

"You don't object then?" Ying Zheng was quite surprised.

"If Li You truly can win over Ying'er, it would be his talent."

"As long as Ying'er is accepting, your servant would naturally not object."

"Of course."

"If Ying'er is unwilling, your servant would fully support her, no one can pressure her." Zhao Feng spoke with several tones of firmness.

This statement indeed expressed the importance Zhao Feng placed on his sister.

This era was not friendly to women, ordinary commoners often sold their daughters, and families of renown frequently engaged in alliances through marriage.

Seeking one's own Prince Charming was nearly impossible.

But Zhao Feng wished to provide his sister such an opportunity.

Since becoming Protector-General, countless families in Xianyang sought unions, but Zhao Feng turned them all away and loudly declared.

His sister's Prince Charming is for her to choose, no one in the Zhao Family would interfere.

Seeing Zhao Feng's attitude.

Originally carrying some jealousy, Ying Zheng nodded approvingly: "You're right, as long as Zhao Ying likes him, that's all that matters."
