Chapter 144: Seeking Skin with the Tiger (1)
"Empress Dowager Qi, Lord Xiangguo asks to see you outside the palace. The maid knelt on the ground and reported to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
In the old palace of Yongcheng, the queen mother Zhao Ji and her favored ministers were on a comfortable couch**, and there was a curtain hanging in the middle of the house, and the maids kneeling outside could not see the situation behind the curtain at all. and the Queen Mother were half-naked, drinking a glass of wine mouth-to-mouth.
Hearing the maid's recital, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Who is here?"
The maid knelt outside and said softly: "It's Lord Xiangguo, Lord Xiangguo came from Xianyang City and said that there is something important to discuss with the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother Zhao Jiyu hit her hand on the chest, and said in a coquettish voice: "Look at what scares you, you have a little ability." Then Zhao Ji put on the clothes that slipped on her back and said to the maid kneeling outside: "Yu'er, you go and invite Lu Xiangguo to the front hall to watch tea in the front hall first, and the mourning family will come out." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother. The palace maid named Yu'er stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Observing Yu'er outside, she let go of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji in her arms, and then began to put on her own clothes. "How did Lü Buwei find here? Could it be that the king knows about the good things of the two of us, and he came to arrest the two of us with the king's will?"
Zhao Ji got dressed, tapped her jade finger on her forehead, and said as she walked out: "Why are you afraid? Why were you so smart when you seduced the mourning family, but now you are so stupid?"
Buckling the jade belt around his waist, he looked at the Queen Mother and asked, "What do you say?"
"If Lu Buwei is here to arrest you and me, then what is he waiting for outside, wouldn't it be good if he rushed in directly with soldiers and horses, and he could also arrest us. Zhao Ji said and then hooked her finger at the dressed, hurriedly ran to Zhao Ji's side, and helped her to walk outside. "Besides, you were recommended by Lü Buwei to the mourning family, if our matter is discovered, do you think Lü Buwei can get rid of it? Don't worry, he is not so stupid. ”
Holding one of the arms of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, he walked out of the palace gate and walked towards the main hall in front, "But I always feel that something is not right." ”
"Rest assured, with a mourning family, you will be absolutely fine. ”
Helping the Queen Mother into the front hall, Lu Buwei bent down and saluted after seeing it, "Minister Lu Buwei has seen the Queen Mother." ”
"Lord Xiangguo doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly. Come and sit for Lord Xiangguo. After the Queen Mother sat down, she asked the maid to sit for Lu Buwei to watch the tea.
After the palace maid finished serving tea to Lu Buwei, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji looked at Lu Buwei with an inexplicable look in her eyes. "I don't know if Lu Xiangguo came to Yongcheng to accompany him today
What is the matter with the mourning family?"
Lu Buwei looked at the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, and then saw Zhao Ji standing next to him, and found that he was also looking at him. Lu Buwei smiled slightly, and said to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, the king is about to get married soon, and it coincides with the reconstruction of Huayang Palace, and the Queen Mother is not in the palace, so for the marriage of the king, the prime minister has something to discuss with the Queen Mother, so he came non-stop after the dispersal of the dynasty." ”
Zhao Ji sighed, and then said to Lu Buwei with a smile: "Didn't the king's marriage have been discussed half a month ago, and the mourning family also agreed." Although the king is about to get married, he is only ten ** years old after all, so this marriage still depends on you, Lord Xiangguo. ”
Lu Buwei smiled and continued to say to the Queen Mother: "The king's wedding, this is a major event in our Qin State, and the prime minister naturally has to worry about it. However, the prime minister is now more worried about what will happen after the king's wedding, otherwise why would the prime minister go on this trip. ”
The Queen Mother Zhao Jimei looked at Lu Buwei with beautiful eyes, as if she was a flood of autumn water, and Lu Buwei was a little uncomfortable when she saw it. You go out first, the mourning family has something to say to Lu Xiangguo. ”
The "Queen Mother...... "I don't know what Zhao Ji wants to discuss with Lu Buwei, so she actually wants to drive herself out."
"Get out. Zhao Ji only said one word, so he had to go out obediently, and when he exited the main hall, he looked in the direction of Lu Buwei, and it happened that Lu Buwei also looked at him, his eyes were full of disdain.
After going out, there were only two people left in the hall, the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei. Zhao Ji walked down the steps and walked in front of Lu Buwei, looking at the man who had introduced himself to the former Wang Yingyiren, now twenty years have passed, this man is the same as when he saw him, the only thing that has changed is that the beard on his chin has become more than a foot.
In Handan, Zhao State, on the day when Lu Buwei and Qin Guo's proton stranger met, the two went out after eating in the restaurant and met Zhao Ji, who was molested by the gangsters in Handan City. Lü Buwei was a businessman, and he was followed by guards, so he rescued Zhao Ji. When Zhao Ji saw Lü Buwei and Yingyiren, the first thing she saw was Lü Buwei, and she didn't pay attention to the Qin State Proton who was not very arrogant next to Lü Buwei, but just nodded her head to express her gratitude.
However, Ying Yiren fell in love with this poor woman who was bullied at first sight, and after returning to the residence with Lu Buwei, he never left the woman he saved. Lu Buwei was not a fool, so he naturally knew that Yiren had affection for the woman he saved today, so he sent someone to investigate Zhao Ji's family history, and after learning that Zhao Ji's family was also famous in Handan City, he went to the door to ask for Ying Yiren. Zhao Ji is twenty-eight years old, and she has also reached the age of marriage, but Zhao Ji is lively by nature and does not like to stay at home, so she will be in Handan City over time
No one in the family knows Zhao Ji, the woman of the Zhao family.
Lu Buwei didn't know that Zhao Ji would take a fancy to him, and in the process of getting along with Zhao Ji in the Zhao family, he slowly discovered that Zhao Ji was actually interesting to him. This discovery made Lü Buwei a little different, but he didn't take it to heart, because the most important person and thing in his heart was on that proton. So he said that Zhao Ji's parents and Zhao Ji agreed to the marriage with Qin Guo's proton, but this also laid the root of the curse. Later, at the wedding banquet of Yiren and Zhao Ji, Lü Buwei, as the biggest contributor to the marriage of the two, naturally drank alcohol, but he didn't think that Yiren was also drunk that day, when Lü Buwei sent Yiren back to the new house, Zhao Ji had already removed the bride's headdress, and her hair was draped behind her back, but she was a little bit beautiful. Lu Buwei sent Ying Yiren back to the room, he was also a little drunk, and almost fainted when he went out, Zhao Ji hurriedly went over to help him.
Lu Buwei didn't know what was going on with him, but when he woke up the next day, he found himself and Zhao Ji lying on the same bed, the two of them were naked, the room was still the wedding room of Win Yiren and Zhao Ji, Ying Yiren was lying on the bed snoring and had not yet sobered up, and he and Zhao Ji were lying on the couch in the house. In this way, Lü Buwei had a handle in Zhao Ji's hands, but Zhao Ji was also moved by Lü Buwei, so the relationship between the two was maintained, which is why Lü Buwei still insisted on rescuing Zhao Ji's mother and son back to Qin after winning a different person and marrying a wife after winning a different person and becoming the king of Qin.
In the past ten years, Lu Buwei has long wanted to break off relations with Zhao Ji, but he was afraid that Zhao Ji would shake off the affairs of the two of them, so he came up with someone to replace him. By chance, he listened to what the diners under his door said, and he thought of using this natural person to please the Queen Mother Zhao Ji instead of himself, so that he could get out smoothly, so things have developed to the present. Now that his rights are in jeopardy, Lu Buwei really doesn't want to come to Zhao Ji as a last resort.
"The Queen Mother, the Prime Minister wants to ask the Queen Mother something, and I hope the Queen Mother can give the Prime Minister a specific explanation. Lu Buwei didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother Zhao Ji who walked in front of him, lowered his head and clenched his fists and said.
Zhao Ji looked at the first man he had really liked and loved, his eyes flashed with tears, and he said, "Lu Xiangye wants to ask about the king's pro-government after his wedding." ”
Lu Buwei still didn't dare to raise his head, and continued to bow his head and said: "Yes, according to the practice of the Qin State, after the king gets married, he will start to govern in person, and the prime minister will hand over the power of Qin's ** government to me, and the prime minister of the prince should also return these rights to the king, but ......"
"I'm just afraid that the king will attack you, the Lord of Xiangguo, after he gets the power, right?" Zhao Ji said faintly, and after hearing this, Lu Buwei suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Ji.
