Qin State, Xianyang.

"Father-in-law."

Ying Zheng, dressed in a black royal robe, came to Li Hao and said respectfully.

Li Hao looked at Qin Wangzheng, his face full of relief.

Ying Zheng, who is thirteen years old, although his childishness has not completely subsided, he finally looks like an adult. Perhaps because of the influence of the external environment since childhood, although Ying Zheng is only thirteen years old, he is far more physical and psychological than children of the same age.

Today is a big day for Ying Zheng to ascend the throne as the king of Qin, and it is also a big day for Li Hao to get history back on track.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Okay, good, Zheng'er has grown up." ”

Ying Zheng's face was slightly red, I don't know if it was because of shyness or excitement. He looked at Li Hao expectantly and said, "Can my father-in-law come to the palace tomorrow to watch the ceremony?" ”

Since coming to Xianyang, Li Hao has lived here.

However, because of his identity, he did not accompany Yingzheng to the palace, but chose a random mansion in the city.

Of course, there is also the meaning of avoiding Zhao Ji.

It's okay for the two to live in the same courtyard in Handan, but if they still live together in Xianyang, it's really inappropriate.

Under the melon field and plums, it is inevitable that some bad rumors will arise. Li Hao didn't care about other people's opinions, let alone whether Prince Qin Chu would feel the green grassland on his head. But he had to think about Yingzheng, not for the history that had already been deflected.

Li Hao groaned, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Ying Zheng personally came to invite, and it was difficult for him to refuse.

And witnessing Yingzheng ascending the throne and becoming king is also a thing worth remembering for Li Hao.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Hao agree.

Since coming to Xianyang, he and Li Hao have gathered less and separated more. After all, he is the son of Qin, and he is the future prince of Qin, and he has a lot to learn, and he can't do it like in Handan.

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Is your queen mother okay recently?" ”

Ying Zheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he sighed: "The queen mother's life in the palace has not been good all these years, and she doesn't even have a body person who can speak. Since entering the palace, the queen mother has only met her father a handful of times, and each time it ended in displeasure. Especially in recent years, my father's health has not been good, and he is not in the mood to meet his mother. ”

Li Hao sighed in his heart, not good to evaluate.

When Zichu abandoned his wife and son and fled Handan, the mother and son were almost harmed and were eaten alive by Zhao Sheng. To say that Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng have no hatred in their hearts, it is naturally impossible.

And Zichu was ashamed and didn't dare to see Zhao Ji, but he could understand it.

As for whether it will make Zi Chuqian angry with Yingzheng, thus delaying Yingzheng's future, Zhao Ji is not worried at all. As long as Li Hao is in one day, no one in this world dares to move the government easily. Otherwise, Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji would not have been directly canonized as queens and princes when they had just entered the Qin State.

In fact, until now, Yingzheng's attitude towards Zichu has not been good.

It's just that this is Yingzheng's family affair in the end, although Li Hao is Yingzheng's father-in-law, it is inconvenient to interfere.

Ying Zheng paused and said in a low voice: "Zheng'er hopes that her father-in-law can go to see her mother tomorrow, and she has missed her father-in-law very much in the palace over the years." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Zheng'er, there are some things that can't be said, let alone from your mouth." You are the king of Qin, and your mother is the queen mother of Qin. If these words are spread, you will let the world see you and your mother. Remember, don't say that again, you know. ”

Ying Zheng bowed down and said, "Zheng'er understands." ”

It's just that his expression is calm, his eyes are deep, and how to think about it, but Li Hao can't figure it out.

Li Hao sighed silently in his heart, Zheng'er has really grown up, and he can't even guess his thoughts. It's just, Zhao Ji?

Li Hao shook his head silently in his heart, without words.

On the second day, Ying Zheng officially ascended the throne as king.

The accession to the throne did not encounter any obstacles and went very smoothly.

After the enthronement ceremony, the royal palace.

Zhao Ji was dressed in a gorgeous and solemn queen mother costume and a delicate and gorgeous phoenix crown.

Years have passed, and time has not left a trace on her, but has made her more and more coquettish, as well as noble and dignified that she did not have in the past.

It is the so-called 'residence and migration of qi, nourishment and migration of the body'.

The personal living environment creates the unique temperament of each person.

Zhao Ji has been in the palace for four years, and his son Yingzheng is the prince of Qin, and his living environment is very different from the embarrassment in Handan.

Four years is enough to change a person.

Now Zhao Ji's every move is full of self-contained atmosphere and extravagance.

Zhao Ji didn't have the slightest sadness about Zichu's death, and there was a spring love between her eyebrows, and there was a little resentment: "The real person hasn't come to visit our mother and son for several years. ”

Li Hao was speechless in his heart, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

The way you look, it's as if we have some ulterior secret.

Of course, he must have complained silently in his heart, and he would never say it directly.

Zhao Ji complained, but was soon replaced by the joy of reunion, and the white plain hand lifted the lid covering the meal, expectantly: "This is a dish made by the concubine herself, whether the real person tastes it is the same as back then." ”

There weren't many dishes, just three or four side dishes.

But all of them are exquisite, both in terms of presentation and workmanship, which are almost impeccable. As the lid covering the dish opens, the tangy aroma fills the palace.

Li Hao used chopsticks to clip a piece of bamboo shoot, which was crisp in the mouth and had a faint fragrance.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Queen Mother's craftsmanship is better than in previous years." ”

Zhao Ji's eyebrows were full of smiles, and her charming face had a faint flush, and said, "The concubine has learned a few new songs recently, why don't you play a song for a real person?" ”

Although Li Hao felt that it was a bit unceremonious to let the dignified Empress Dowager Qin play for herself.

But if you think about it, it's actually a little cool.

Who is this, Yingzheng's wife, the Empress Dowager of Great Qin. Besides, the queen mother is kind, and if she refuses like this, it doesn't seem to be good.

After half a second of thought, Li Hao said, "Then there is the Empress Dowager Lao." ”

Zhao Ji waved her hand and retreated from the palace maids, dancing in the hall in gorgeous and solemn queen mother clothes, and her sexy figure was difficult to hide even if she was in a wide queen mother's court dress. Its chest is towering, the snake waist is slender, and the line of the waist and crotch is beautiful like a bright moon, and the legs are slender and graceful.

She sang in a beautiful voice: "The woman is called the rooster crows, and the scholar is called the Dan." Zixing looks at the night, and the stars are rotten. Will soar, and the geese will fly. Yi Yan added, and Zi Yizhi. It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with children. Qin Se is in the palace, don't be quiet....."

The corners of Li Hao's eyes jumped slightly.

The poem sung by Zhao Ji is from the "Book of Songs", called "The Female Says the Chicken Song".

As for what this poem is about, the sentence of growing old with the son has already explained everything.

Up to now, Li Hao still doesn't know Zhao Ji's purpose today. was just confessed by the dignified Empress Dowager Qin, but his mood was a little complicated.

As the saying goes, Zi said.

Forget it, the son must not have said it.

Li Hao is still thinking, and Zhao Ji's song has ended.

She came to Li Hao's side with grace, poured him a glass of warm wine with her own hands, her bright eyes were full of infinite charm like autumn water, and she said softly: "The concubine respects the real person." ”

Li Hao finished drinking it in a complicated mood, but there were some complaints in his heart.

Yingzheng, this stinky boy, etc.

This stinky boy has been a ghost since he was a child, and Zhao Ji is not a person who is good at hiding. The three of them had lived together for six years, and he wouldn't not be blind to something so obvious. Even if you didn't see it back then, you should understand it now.

Zhao Ji refilled another cup for Li Hao, and the graceful delicate body became closer and closer, and a pair of towering and majestic murder weapons wrapped Li Hao's arms, and said expectantly: "Can the real person live in the palace for a long time in the future, so if Zheng'er has doubts in the future, he can also ask the real person directly." ”

Faced with the seduction of the Empress Dowager of Great Qin, Li Hao couldn't wait to hold his forehead with his hand and look up to the sky and sigh.

This little goblin, really!

Li Hao was speechless, as if he heard the green grassland dripping on Zichu's head. As for Zhao Ji's proposal, he did not give a clear answer.

This meal gave Li Hao a headache.

At the same time, he had to admit that Zhao Ji is more tempting now.

On the third day of Ying Zheng's ascension to the throne, Li Hao was named the prince of the dynasty by Ying Zheng, and worshiped as his middle father in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. Zhong, the father's brother also. The meaning of the middle father is self-evident.

Half a month later, Li Hao was invited by Yingzheng into the palace to teach him cultivation and knowledge.

From then on, Li Hao began his life in the palace.

However, he kept in mind the purpose of this trip, and in addition to teaching Yingzheng cultivation and knowledge, he rarely interfered in the military and politics of the Qin State. Except for a certain stunner queen mother who often comes to the door, Li Hao's life is quite peaceful.

Until, in 227 BC, Jing Ke entered Qin.
