[Qin] Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate

Following the team with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes all the way, the little fish demon was very well-behaved for a while.

After entering the East Side Hall, dishes of delicacies were placed on the chopping board.

The little fish demon raised his head and turned around quietly while the others were cautiously making sure that there would be no mistakes.

Wangcheng is indeed different, with carved beams and painted buildings, extremely exquisite.

It's just a pity that the king of Qin he wanted to see wasn't there.Moreover, King Qin's distinguished guests were not there either.

Probably chatting elsewhere.

Seeing no one, the little fish demon lowered his head in disappointment, lined up with the others after putting down the plates, and filed out.

At this time, a series of high-profile footsteps came from behind.

The little fish demon could still hear the voice of a servant saluting and calling "King Qin".

However, he had already stepped out of the gate of the East Side Hall, and it was impossible for him to turn around abruptly to look at it, and it was even more impossible for him to use his demonic power casually and willfully on such trivial matters.

They can only continue to move forward.Thinking about taking another look at it later.

Soon, the figure of the little fish demon completely disappeared outside the door.

What he didn't know was that King Qin who entered the hall also saw him.

Although there was only one figure from the back, Ying Zheng felt a little familiar, and couldn't help but want to call the other party to come over and have a look.

"Wang, why don't you leave?"

Meng Tian, ​​who was following Ying Zheng, looked puzzled.The wooden case is still ahead, how did it stop?

After being asked by Meng Tian, ​​Ying Zhengcai controlled the order he almost blurted out.

This place is not suitable.There are so many people, if, if it is really the person you think, you must not expose it like this!

Find another opportunity later and let that person come and take a look.

"Nothing. Come, take a seat."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to signal, and he also came to his place.

……

It was late at night when Ying Zheng pushed away the state regulations in front of him.

Although he does not have the power to make decisions about these state affairs, whether it is Lu Buwei's request or his own request to himself, he has to go through it carefully before resting every day.

"What time is it?"

"Go back to King Qin, it's almost midnight. Are you going to sleep?" Zhao Gao waited by the side and asked cautiously.

Ying Zheng paused, then suddenly remembered the figure from the back that he met today.

"I'm a little hungry, let the dining room prepare some food." After Zhao Gao responded, he pretended to mention it casually, "Let the shorter one among the servants in today's dish come, it looks more pleasing to the eye. "

"Yes."

Zhao Gao responded and left.

In the kitchen, even at this hour, there are people on duty overnight, just in case some nobles suddenly propose to eat.Now that he received the news, he fired without haste.

"It's good luck for him to wake up Xiao Lizi. King Qin asked him to deliver it." The cook shook the rice spoon in his hand while ordering.

The one who was waiting at the side responded and went to Xiao Lizi's residence.

The little plum they were talking about was the little fish demon.

At this time, he was sleeping soundly in the warm blanket.

However, no matter how soundly he slept, the sound of unfamiliar footsteps outside the door soon woke him up.

When the people from the kitchen knocked on the door, he was already fully awake with clear eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"Xiao Lizi, the person in the East Side Hall wants to have supper, and the kitchen is already making it. They have asked you to deliver food by name." The visitor explained the whole story.

Send supper?this late?

The little fish demon felt a little unhappy in his heart.

No matter what supper you eat at night, you are not afraid to sleep into a big fat man after eating.I haven't had supper yet.

If you have time to deliver food, it's better to sleep beautifully.

Thinking in this way, the little fish demon nodded in response, and when the people at the door were waiting for him to clean up, a wave of demonic power sent it over, and quickly took it back without arousing any suspicion.

"Okay, let's go."

The man turned and left.Even the people who were following him didn't come and didn't notice.

When he got to the kitchen, no one noticed.

"Little Lizi, you are here. This time, the King of Qin has an impression of you. If you behave well, you may be able to win the favor of the other party. When the time comes, don't forget to wait for me." While talking, the cook put the Put the supper in this person's hand.

"Then I'll go."

……

Ying Zheng spit out his tea slowly, not knowing what he was expecting.

Soon, he heard what he wanted to hear.

"Serve--"

The waiter who was carrying the dishes came forward respectfully like everyone else, with his head lowered and his movements cautious.

Ying Zheng's eyes filled with anticipation froze.

Not the person I thought... No!

The disappointment hadn't reached its peak yet, and Ying Zheng suddenly noticed something unusual.

This person's figure is completely different from what I saw during the day!

The man in the daytime was petite and well-proportioned, although his movements were the same as those of the other servants next to him, he was always active.Wearing the same inner servants is like a child stealing an adult's clothes, and it also gives people the impression that some naughty nobleman is out of curiosity and wearing a servant's clothes to make trouble.

But this person is completely different.Ying Zheng noticed that this man had a slightly sloppy back, just like those servants who were bent over all the year round.

"What's your name?" Ying Zheng picked up the chopsticks, tasted the food in front of him, and asked casually.

The waiter who delivered the dishes put his knees on the ground and replied cautiously: "My slave's name is Xiao Lizi."

little plum...

However, Ying Zheng noticed sharply that the person in front of him had his name embroidered with thin thread on the hem of his clothes, but it was not the little plum he was talking about, but a "expensive" one.

"Little Takako."

"The slave is here."

"It seems that some of you servants embroider your names on the corners of your clothes in order to avoid confusion?"

"Exactly. I don't know the king...?" Zhao Gao didn't understand what the King Qin suddenly asked about this matter.

"Go, check this little plum's clothes for his name. I don't want to be fooled."

When he said this, Ying Zheng kept his eyes on the kneeling people, but he didn't notice any signs of fear from them.

Either, this person accidentally wore the wrong clothes, or, this guy's acting skills have already been perfected.

However, Ying Zheng never imagined that there was a third direction for things to develop.

"My lord, this person also has a name on the hem of his clothes." What Zhao Gao held in his hand was the hem that Ying Zheng saw.

Looking at the normal performance of the two people in front of each other, Ying Zheng suddenly felt strange.

"Xiao Gaozi, what's the word on it?"

I don't know why the king of Qin asked such detailed questions, maybe he was curious, but the word is too small, so he couldn't see the other party's position clearly in the dimly lit hall.

Zhao Gao respectfully replied: "Back to the king of Qin, it is exactly the word Li."

Ying Zheng's eyes tightened!

In his line of sight, it was clearly "expensive", but the scene in front of him was different from what he had seen.

At this moment, his mind went back and forth a thousand times.

However, he didn't show it at all.

"Nothing, you go down."

That "little plum" left respectfully again, and Zhao Gao returned to his place.

Ying Zheng continued to eat supper, but he couldn't taste it anymore.

……

The next day, after meeting Zhong's father, Ying Zheng went to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji for dinner as usual after listening to the state affairs that he should know.

"By the way, Xiao Gaozi, those who pass on the dishes today, let's use yesterday's batch, it's easy."

On the way in the past, Ying Zheng ordered "at will".

Zhao Gao responded by calling a servant and ordering him to go down.

Soon, the place where the empress dowager arrived.

"Mother."

When Ying Zheng stepped into the hall, Zhao Ji was already sitting upright waiting.

"King Qin, come and talk."

Ying Zheng stepped forward and sat beside Zhao Ji.Only then did I realize that the other party's hand was on his forehead, and he seemed to be uncomfortable.

"Is the queen mother in poor health?"

Zhao Ji sighed in vain: "This huge royal city is boring. At this time, the empress is alone in this hall, and you are busy with state affairs. These little girls can't play together because of the identity of the empress. Like this For a long time, I was really bored in my heart, and I didn't want to be sick like this."

Ying Zheng probably knew what Zhao Ji wanted to do.Followed the words and asked: "Why don't the empress go out for a walk? I think this disease will get better soon."

"Hey, the big and small gardens in the royal city have been wandering around many times since then. It's really boring. Why don't you go to Zhangtai to recuperate for a while after the King of Qin sends you the book. How about it?"

Ying Zheng nodded quickly.Anyway, it's no big deal for Zhao Ji to stay in this royal city, as long as it's time for political discussions, he and Lu Buwei can go to Zhangtai without any trouble.In case this kind of thing will happen in a few days.

"Then after the meal, I will send my mother to the queen."

"Why don't you go to Zhangtai and eat again. The scenery there is beautiful, and you will feel more comfortable. Maybe you can eat more."

Now that Zhao Ji has said so, Ying Zheng can only obey.

Soon, the main hall became busy, quickly packed up the things, and went to Zhangtai by chariot and horse.

However, things are not as the Queen Mother said.

When we arrived at Zhangtai, the next day there was news from the little maid beside the queen mother that the queen mother had fallen ill.

This disease lasted for three to two months one after another.

During the past few months, Yingzheng upheld his filial piety and went to Zhangtai to serve the queen mother during the day. It was late in the evening before he hurried back to Wangcheng to read the day's state regulations.

As for the back view, it was also squeezed into a remote corner by this busy day.

One day, the imperial physician made a routine diagnosis for Zhao Ji.

"How?" Ying Zheng stood aside.

"The wind and cold have improved, but the mind is depressed. Why don't you let the Queen Mother go to a beautiful and familiar place to relax. Maybe you will get better soon."

After hearing what the imperial physician said, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Ji where she was going.

Zhao Ji recalled for a moment and thought of a place.

"There is a place, Liangshan."
