Chapter 59: Cheating
Ying Zheng didn't go to pick up the bronze medal handed over by Qin Qing, but just looked at her with puzzled eyes, not understanding why she returned it again. Qin Qing looked at Ying Zheng and hesitated for a moment before saying: "I discussed with Uncle Yu a few days ago, and I plan to go back to Tong County in a few days, so this token is not of much use to me, you better take it back, something as valuable as a token to enter the palace, don't give it to anyone casually in the future." ”
"Why are you leaving?" Ying Zheng was surprised when he heard that Qin Qing said that he wanted to return to Tong County, and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't I hear you mention it at the inn some time ago?" ”
"The matter in Xianyang has been busy, there is no need to continue to stay, and the business of the Qin family is in Tong County, there are still many things waiting for us to go back to deal with, and this trip to the palace is to resign to you and the Queen Mother." Qin Qing didn't want to tell Ying Zheng about the agreement with King Zhuang Xiang back then, but just asked him to resign under the pretext of doing business in Tongxian County.
Ying Zheng heard Qin Qing say that he wanted to go back to Tong County, he was very reluctant in his heart, and the joy of seeing her at the beginning gradually faded, his heart was full of inexplicable melancholy, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Sister Qing, I don't want you to go back." But since you have decided, I don't know when you will see you again, let me take you to see this Xianyang Palace today, and then go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye. ”
Ying Zheng got up and led the way in front, Qin Qing followed behind him, and suddenly felt that the back of the young man in front of him seemed so lonely and lonely. Maybe Yingzheng now regards her as a sister or a friend, and when he hears that she is leaving, he will be more or less sad. But that's only because he's still young, and maybe when he really grows up to be a king, he won't need her as a sister anymore.
Qin Qing didn't have the excitement he had when he first arrived, and he was no longer in the mood to visit the gorgeous palace. The two came to Zhao Ji's bedroom in silence all the way, strangely there were no guards and palace maids walking around outside the palace, Qin Qingzheng wanted to find someone to report, but saw Lu Buwei coming out of the palace.
When Lu Buwei saw Ying Zheng and Qin Qing coming here, he felt very surprised, and the look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and made a courtesy to Yingzheng, and then asked Qin Qing with a little doubt: "Didn't the young lady say that she wanted to go back to Fang County?" How can I have time to meet the Empress Dowager Zhao. ”
Before Qin Qing could answer, he heard Ying Zheng answer for her: "Father Zhong, it was Zheng'er who invited Sister Qing to come to the palace to play, and I heard that she was going back, so I specially brought her to bid farewell to the queen mother." Was the middle father just discussing things with the queen mother, and the queen mother was in the palace? ”
At this time, Ying Zheng swept away the silence just now, and his tone was slightly cheerful, like a simple-minded sunny boy. But Qin Qing knew that what he was showing now was not his original character. Although she and Ying Zheng have not seen each other for a few years, just from the short time they got along a few days ago, she can see that although Ying Zheng is young, his tone, demeanor and mind are extremely mature, how can he be like what he is doing now.
Qin Qing sensitively noticed that Ying Zheng was guarding against Lü Buwei at this time, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could he have detected Lü Buwei's intentions? But after thinking about it, he rejected the idea he had just made. Yingzheng has been living in Handan before, and may have heard of Lü Buwei and his people, but the real acquaintance with Lü Buwei is only a matter of ten days, how can he gain insight into the old fox's intentions and recognize his true face?
"The minister had just discussed His Majesty's course with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was tired, so Weichen retired first. It seems inappropriate for His Majesty to disturb at this time, so it is better to visit the Queen Mother later. Lu Buwei didn't seem to want Yingzheng to see Zhao Ji now, so he just asked lightly about the homework assigned to him, and he was a little obstructive.
Qin Qing couldn't understand why Lu Buwei wanted to stop Yingzheng, until he saw a touch of blush under his collar, and his heart suddenly understood. What is the course of discussing Ying Zheng, I'm afraid cheating is real. As early as later generations, I knew that Lu Buwei often went in and out of Zhao Ji's bedroom, but I didn't expect to let myself bump into it, but fortunately, Yingzheng had been accompanying her to visit the palace before, and she was late. If he arrived earlier and broke the adultery between him and Zhao Ji, he would secretly send someone to kill him.
Lu Buwei seemed to notice Qin Qing's gaze before, stopped talking to Ying Zheng, and looked at her. Qin Qing hurriedly turned his gaze around, pretending to be watching the palace, trying to dispel Lü Buwei's suspicions about her. Maybe Lu Buwei felt that Qin Qing was just a little girl, although she was married, she didn't have a round house, and she didn't know anything about men and women, so he relaxed his suspicions about her, and just glanced at her.
At this moment, the door of Zhao Ji's bedroom slowly opened, and a ten-year-old palace maid walked out of it, slowly came to Yingzheng to salute, and then said, "The Queen Mother, please let Your Majesty in." Lü Buwei saw the opportunity to retire to Ying Zheng first, and Ying Zheng and Qin Qing followed the palace maid into the dormitory.
The maid led the two into the house, closed the door and retreated. The doors and windows of the dormitory were closed, and light smoke emanated from the incense burner, and the dormitory exuded a fragrance and a chaotic smell. The curtain on the phoenix bed hung lightly, and Zhao Ji could only be seen faintly leaning against the bed, but he couldn't see his appearance at the moment.
Zhao Ji heard the footsteps and knew that it was Yingzheng who came in, and looked through the veil, but found that there was another one beside him. A slightly hoarse voice came from behind the veil, revealing a lazy sexy taste: "Zheng'er, who is with you?" ”
When Qin Qing heard Zhao Ji's question, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhao Ji: "The people's daughter Qin Qing has seen the Queen Mother. ”
"It turned out to be a young lady." Zhao Ji heard Qin Qing's voice and said with a little surprise: "The young lady came to see the palace today, but there is something important?" ”
"Qin Qing plans to return to Tong County in the near future, and this trip is to bid farewell to the Queen Mother." Qin Qing said the intention of this trip. Zhao Ji behind the veil didn't even show her face, so she sent Qin Qing back: "It's rare that the young lady remembers the palace, but today the palace felt a little unwell, and it was inconvenient to get up, so I had to ask Zheng'er to send the young lady back for the palace." When the young lady comes to Xianyang next time, she will enter the palace again. ”
"Since the Queen Mother is slightly ill, Qin Qing is inconvenient to disturb the Queen Mother's rest, so she will retire first." Seeing her move, Qin Qing knew that the conjecture just now was true, and she really had an affair with Lu Buwei in her bedroom. It is estimated that she and Ying Zheng came suddenly, she has not cleaned up, so it is naturally inconvenient to lift the veil and get up, and the purpose of resignation has been achieved, so she and Ying Zheng quit the palace.
After Qin Qing withdrew from Zhao Ji's bedroom, he found that Yingzheng had not said a word since he entered the palace, and in the face of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, he didn't even do the most basic greetings. couldn't help but have doubts, she looked up at Ying Zheng, but saw his gloomy expression, which couldn't help but remind her of five years ago.
