empress and princess

Turning his head along the fingers, he saw a woman in black clothes standing by the window with her hands behind her back. Although only half of her body was protruding, her eyes were spirited and her appearance was dignified. At this time, she smiled and cupped her hands: "Your Majesty, don't come here without any harm."

Qin Tangjing opened his eyes wide, rubbed his eyes and looked again, the woman was still there, he was taken aback and immediately jumped up from the bed.

"Female look?!"

"Keep your voice down, walls have ears." Qin Jiufeng quickly covered her mouth, and by the way glared at the woman by the window, even though she was so startled that she jumped on the spot when she first saw this woman.

Qin Tangjing pushed the little emperor's uncle's hand away, and ran to the door in two or three steps, "Miss, why are you here? The queen mother..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Empress Dowager is fine." Li Shizhou took a small step back and saluted in an orderly manner, "I pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Women are exempt from courtesy. We are in the state of Chu. Be careful, so we won't serve the emperor and his ministers." Qin Tangjing was half surprised and half happy, and hurriedly helped Li Shizhou up, and dragged her into the house to serve tea and water.

"Your Majesty has been in Chu State for less than two months, why do you look so thin?" Li Shizhou sat down, looked carefully and said, turning his eyes to look at Qin Jiufeng sideways with a trace of blame in his eyes.

Qin Jiufeng rolled his eyes and turned his face away: "Jihuang is not acclimatized, and doesn't eat much." But he thought in his heart that it wasn't that she didn't take good care of it, why did this person grab her and ask her when he came.

Li Shizhou turned to look at Qin Tangjing, Qin Tangjing knew that the two had always been at odds, so he nodded for the little emperor's uncle and said:

"The lonely king doesn't accept the water and soil of the state of Chu, so he eats less. It's none of the little emperor's uncle's business."

She was puzzled, and asked again: "My lady, why did you come to Chu?"

"What else can she do, it's nothing more than slipping around."

The woman is from the queen mother's side, and "slipping the circle" alludes to supervision.

Qin Jiufeng didn't give face to bickering, Li Shizhou glanced at her, and said with a half-smile: "Lord Nine, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, but you are insinuating in front of the king, what is your intention?"

"What do I have to do with you, do what you are supposed to do."

"The Ninth Prince has a problem with me?"

"This king is open-minded, unlike your villain who always takes revenge."

"What an open-minded person. When I return to the Daqin Dynasty Hall, the ministers will be in front of the emperor and ministers. I will read you a copy. Do you think the Queen Mother will believe you or me?"

"……you dare!"

"Why don't you dare, I went to the border with the Queen Mother's order to listen. I heard that the king gave away twenty cities of the Great Qin for the eldest princess of Chu, so I came to find out. If there is such a thing, I, as the daughter of the Great Qin, must be truthful. Confession."

It was fine to quarrel in the courtroom, but also in private, Qin Tangjing felt a headache rubbing his forehead while listening.

From that night palace banquet, she thought about it for two days, but she still couldn't come up with a way to explain to her mother that she was leaving for the country tomorrow, and this upright female figure also came to make things difficult for her, so she simply ignored the two of them, Qin Tangjing went out Continue to think about it.

"The king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the minister is to solve the king's worries and problems, and you are useless except to lead troops to fight." Seeing Qin Tangjing leave, Li Shizhou's sonorous tone gradually softened, staring at Qin Jiufeng deeply, and sighed, "You, Qin Jiufeng, can't escape your crime even if you return to Daqin."

There were only the two of them in the room, Qin Jiufeng withdrew his stern expression, and said softly: "I will bear all the crimes alone."

"How do you bear it? Twenty cities are only for one woman. What do you want the queen mother to think? Where do you put millions of soldiers? It is really not wise for you to pamper the king like this."

Qin Jiufeng was silent.

Li Shizhou stood up and put his hands behind his back: "The women of Qin State have only been king for a few years, and there are worries about the enemy from Chu outside, and worries about the palace walls inside. By doing this, you just give those nobles and nobles a chance to attack."

Although it will be calmed down by force in the end, it is not a small wave.Women are kings and break the rules, and have long been regarded as a thorn in the side of some people. No matter how hard they try to rule and strengthen Qin, they still cannot get their respect and recognition.

It can't be killed, can't get rid of, those nobles of the public family who value etiquette and law are the important hidden dangers of Daqin.

Li Shizhou turned around and asked: "I know that you treat the king as if you were your own, and you have no second thoughts, but have you ever thought about the Queen Mother?"

"She..." Qin Jiufeng hesitated to speak.

"A companion is like a tiger." Qin Jiufeng, who was born in the palace, understood this truth best. Li Shizhou's eyes darkened, "You hold the military power in your hand, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you."

"I believe her."

Those three simple words immediately left Li Shizhou speechless.

Qin Jiufeng frowned: "If she didn't believe me, she wouldn't have kept me until today."

"You are the great general of the Qin State. She kept you for the sake of the Qin State and the king. From ancient times to the present, a king is a king, and a minister is a minister. No one can bridge the gap, and neither can you."

Li Shizhou hit the nail on the head, and every word pierced Qin Jiufeng's heart, causing her to tremble violently, clenched her hands, and remained silent for a long time.

Back then, because of the dispute over the status of the monarch and his ministers, she was helpless in the face of being missed.

Then, when Qin Tang turned around, he saw the little emperor uncle and the female minister sitting alone, ignoring each other, and their expressions were also calm.

"Why, you haven't finished arguing yet?"

Li Shizhou looked at her: "Where is the king? Why is there dust on his clothes?" She got up and went to wipe off the dust on Qin Tangjing's sleeves, and taught softly, "Your Majesty, the king of a country, no matter what, pay attention to your dignity. That's good."

"The lonely king just walk around casually." The female minister's tone was gentle, except for the little emperor uncle and the queen mother, only female relatives in this world treat her sincerely, Qin Tangjing smiled lightly, "Thank you, female minister."

She rolled up her sleeves casually, and looked up at Qin Jiufeng.

"Uncle Huang, why are you sitting silently?"

Qin Jiufeng drank tea and glanced at Li Shizhou, "Someone is here, it's an eyesore."

Li Shizhou also ignored her, and looked at Qin Tangjing with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I am very curious about the virtues and abilities of the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom in exchange for twenty cities, so she is favored by Your Majesty."

"I advise you not to be curious, the eldest princess is smarter than you."

"I've heard a thing or two about the eldest princess's virtuous name."

"As the saying goes, it's better to see once than to hear a hundred times." Qin Tangjing sat down, frowned, showing a standard smile, "Tomorrow, we can see the lady with us."

……

The next day, the sun rose, dispelling the slight chill of autumn.

Yes, it is a good weather for traveling.

When the Qin envoy came, he was unknown, but when he left, he wished to announce it to the world.

But for those Chu people in the street, it is a great shame.The princess of a country is supremely honored, but was snatched away by the Qin people. They cursed the king of Chu for being cowardly and incompetent, and wantonly criticized the king and ministers of the state of Chu.

What's more, the people went to the government in groups to cry and plead for mercy, they just wanted to keep the eldest princess who was diligent and loving.

However, everything was in vain.

At the corner of the street, the three of them stood silently, looking at the official office in front of them.

"Seeing once is worth hearing a hundred times. It can be seen how popular this eldest princess is." Li Shizhou sighed after a long while.

"Being defeated means being bullied." Qin Jiufeng said bluntly.

A hard fist is the king in troubled times.

The world has been in chaos and strife for many years, stained with countless blood, and she has long been used to the cruelty of the world. From being oppressed and beaten to fighting for hegemony, this scene is not enough to move her.

"Jihuang, my Daqin has the capital to be proud of the world, but this is a bloody lesson, and Daqin should learn from it." Qin Jiufeng was serious.

"Okay, the lonely king will remember it in his heart." Don't dare to forget at all times.

Qin Tangjing shook his head and said pitifully, "The people are suffering."

"Yes, those who suffer will always be ordinary people."

"My lady, is it true that the world must be unified so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Well, at least there is no war, the people don't have to live in fear, and the soldiers don't have to die at any time on the battlefield. Then, my lord, do you want the people to live like this?"

"How could the lonely king not want to, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Although Daqin is powerful, the world is too chaotic."

Li Shizhou smiled lightly: "I'm not afraid of chaos, but I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic."

"What does the lady mean by this?"

"We can use it while we are in chaos, what does your majesty think?"

"It makes sense." After thinking for a long time before returning, the seventeen-year-old King Qin seemed to have opened his mind.

Li Shizhou smiled softly: "Let's start with the Song Dynasty."

Guided by a female figure, Qin Tangjing comprehended the extraordinary, rolled his eyes, and understood clearly.

Once King Song died, the prince was still young, the princes were ambitious, and the surrounding powers were eyeing each other, the Song Kingdom would be in chaos, and it was unknown who would get the throne in the end.

Looking back to his eyes, Qin Tangjing also had his own feelings in his heart when facing this scene.

Silently read a few words 'Chu Huaimin' ah 'Chu Huaimin'.

So what if you have the common people in your heart, trying to change the chaotic world for a hundred years with one person's power, it's a fool's dream.

The world is in chaos, and the people are suffering.

The three of them did not go back until the attendant reported that everything was ready and they could leave for the country, ending their trip to Chu.

And behind the unknown street corner, a touch of white clothes emerged.

Where the sun can't shine, his expression is as cold and indifferent as before, except that the corner of his mouth is slightly raised.

There was no smile, just for a moment, flattened for those pleading common people.

I don't know when and how long she stood there, Chu Huaimin looked forward, saw the people in the government office, and also saw people who shouldn't be seen, but at the place where she stood, there was a towering tree behind her, and when the wind blew the fallen leaves, , A few pieces fell off on the shoulders, but they were never brushed off.

The 'uncle and nephew' were superb in martial arts, Chen Hao didn't dare to move, and only gasped after they left, his face was full of shock.

"Princess, this..." He seemed to understand something.

"It's time, let's go." Chu Huaimin turned his hands behind his back, and walked in the opposite direction of the three people, step by step firmly and steadily.

According to the agreed time, the eldest princess's phoenix driver drove out of the city to meet the Qin envoy on time.

Qin and Chu are separated by thousands of miles, and the roads are boundless. They arrived in half a month at a fast pace. The group of people calculated carefully and took no time to rush, and they also walked for a full month.

A lot of interesting things happened this month. Qin Tangjing couldn't stand being bored, and always found the eldest princess Fengjia in the dark. There is also the matter of throwing the collar out of the carriage.

However, she is not in the nature of admitting defeat, the less Chu Huaimin cares about her, the more frustrated and courageous she becomes, always trying to provoke her.

So much so that Chu Huaimin was extremely vigilant, until the afternoon of this day, when he realized that the curtain had been raised again, Chu Huaimin preemptively grabbed the man's wrist, and said coldly, "What kind of tricks are you playing?"

"..." Qin Jiufeng scolded someone several times in his heart.

When someone sneezed over there, Chu Huaimin realized that it was not Qin Jihuang who came, so he let go of her hand immediately, and heard her say, "It's me, Qin Jiufeng."

Chu Huaimin was a little surprised, he seldom met them Qin people along the way, but seeing that they were approaching King Qin City...

He ordered someone to raise the curtain of the car, and the two of them looked at each other inside and outside the car.

"Is the Ninth Prince okay?"

"It's nothing serious, I'm here just to tell you, it's almost here."

"Thank you Ninth Prince."

"My family, you're welcome." Qin Jiufeng put on an old face.

Chu Huaimin smiled lightly.

Qin Jiufeng cleared his throat and continued: "Did Ji Huang tell you that when you arrive in Qin State, the Queen Mother wants to see you."

Chu Huaimin shook his head: "I never said that."

"This girl must be playful." Qin Jiufeng frowned, met Chu Huaimin's eyes and immediately explained with a smile:

"You are the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom. Because of your different status, Ji Huang might have neglected you, so I discussed with the King of Qin and the Queen Mother in advance. We will discuss your wedding in the future. The eldest princess will settle down in the palace with the treatment of a princess. What do you want?" How about next?"

Chu Huaimin nodded, "Thank you."

"Okay, you take a break." Qin Jiufeng immediately looked for someone after finishing the solution.

When she found Qin Tangjing, she was discussing state affairs with Li Shizhou, and the two chatted about each other, and immediately lost their temper, so they had to sit and listen.

"Look, the world is like a game of chess, and our state of Qin is in the middle of the game, with Zhao Weiyan on the top and Chu, Song and Qi on the bottom." Li Shizhou drew a map of the countries at random, "The other six countries are so strong, so strong that two If there is an alliance of nations, Qin will struggle. However, we can defeat them one by one."

Qin Tangjing frowned: "Chu and Song have already formed an alliance. Although Chu lost this battle, we have nothing to do with Chu."

"Isn't this robbing an eldest princess?" Li Shizhou laughed teasingly.

"It was exchanged for twenty cities." Qin Jiufeng answered.

"I think it's worth it."

"The lonely king thinks so too."

Seeing that they changed the subject, Qin Jiufeng asked:

"Ji Huang, have you thought about how to arrange where the eldest princess will go?"

"Just live in the palace first, she is under the eyes of the lonely king, so the lonely king can rest assured."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"It's not that the lonely king can't get on the stage, so why worry about it."

"Don't forget, you married Princess Chu as your wife as the Princess of Qin, and when you arrive in Qin, you..."

"Since she is the queen of my Qin Jihuang, just hide it."

"Where to hide?"

"Harem."

Qin Jiufeng: "..."

Li Shizhou: "..."

Kings have always had special hobbies, and it is understandable for Tibetan beauties to appreciate them alone in the harem.
