Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Walking in a hurry in the huge Xianyang Palace, although until now, Li Si didn't know which queen mother was going to see him, but he knew it very well in his heart.

The Queen Mother of Qin has never been easy to deal with.

Following behind the eunuch who sent the message, the deeper you get closer, the more confinement the deep palace becomes. Outside the palace is full of green leaves, and there is a sense of desolation and desolation everywhere in the palace walls.

The current king of Qin, Yingzheng, has not yet married. Most of the palaces in the harem are idle. Walking through the empty palaces, the eunuch finally stopped outside a palace.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager welcomes you."

Li Si looked up and saw three large characters written in seal script on the plaque outside the hall: "Side Palace"

Li Si's heart sank slightly, the one who wanted to see him turned out to be the Empress Dowager Huayang.

The Empress Dowager Huayang, a native of the state of Chu, originally had many beauties in the state of Chu, and the Empress Dowager Huayang was also the most beloved woman of King Xiaowen.In order to please her, Yingzheng's father changed his name to Zichu, because of the support of Mrs. Huayang, Zichu became the prince and later the king of Qin.

Li Si still remembered that in his previous life, when he was just a little guest, it was because of the support of the Empress Dowager Huayang to Cheng Yu that King Qin Yingzheng was almost forced to step down from the throne.

Although the Chengyu incident was finally calmed down, the prestige and status of this woman who had lived in the deep palace for a long time in Qin State can also be seen.

Now that King Qin's biological mother has passed away, the power of Qin is actually in the hands of Lu Buwei and the Empress Dowager Huayang.The Empress Dowager Huayang's current power is much greater than before.

Knowing that what he was going to meet was such a powerful person, and when Li Si met the Empress Dowager Huayang in his previous life, it was when he persuaded the Empress Dowager for the King of Qin. In his memory, the Empress Dowager was indifferent and cruel, and her words Li Si couldn't help but feel a little nervous about taking someone's life in no time.

Unknowingly, Li Si walked into the main hall of Side Palace. Although it was not evening yet, the hall was extremely dark, and it was almost difficult to see the way forward, which made Li Si feel even more uneasy.

Just when Li Si was hesitating what to do, a candlelight appeared in front of him.

"Is it Master Han? Please follow me."

It turned out that it was the maid in the palace.By the dim candlelight, Li Si followed the maids in the palace to the inner room of Side Palace.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the maid leading the way stopped suddenly, and the only ray of light in front of him disappeared. Just when Li Si was about to speak out, dozens of candles were lit at the same time, and the dim inner room was instantly lit. brightly lit.Then, a female voice sounded in the room: "You step back first."

The maids withdrew one after another.

It was only then that Li Si noticed that the voice came from behind a white curtain in the inner room.

In the bright inner room, Li Si was the only one standing there soon. While he was still standing there, a slender jade hand stretched out from behind the curtain, and the voice came from behind the curtain again: "Emissary Han please Come here."

With a soft tone and a pleasant voice, you can tell without looking that there must be a peerless beauty behind the curtain, but after thinking about it, this peerless beauty should be nearly forty this year, Li Si raised his hand and wiped his forehead In a cold sweat, he continued to walk into the inner room.

But when Li Si opened the curtain and saw the woman lying sideways on the couch behind the curtain, to his surprise, there should be the Empress Dowager Huayang who should be in her 40s, but now she looks like she is only in her early twenties, with the same face. It is so beautiful, not inferior to the past.

Hearing the sound of Li Si walking in, the Empress Dowager Huayang didn't even open her eyes. She continued to lie on her side and said, "When is the envoy Han going to return to China?"

Li Si understood that the Queen Mother, who represented the interests of the clan, came to tell him that this foreign courtier, it was almost time to get out of Qin, the position of Prime Minister had already been taken by a foreigner, Lu Buwei, and he should not compete with the clan of Qin rice bowl.

And leaving Qin as soon as possible was exactly what Li Si wanted.

Although he knew that the Empress Dowager Huayang didn't even look at him directly, Li Si still cupped his hands and said respectfully, "I will leave whenever the Empress Dowager wants me to leave."

The Empress Dowager Huayang's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, propped up on the soft bed, she stood up slightly, looked coldly at Li Si in front of the bed with a pair of beautiful eyes, and her voice suddenly became colder: "Emissary Han is confident, mourning Don't you dare to do anything to you?"

Li Si realized that the Empress Dowager Huayang had misunderstood him, so he hurriedly bowed and explained: "Although your country is good, it can't match the yearning for your homeland. It's also Si's wish to return home as soon as possible."

The few short words of sincerity reminded the Queen Mother Huayang of her hometown that she hadn't returned to for a long time. Looking at the person in front of her who bowed her head respectfully, the Queen Mother Huayang asked, "I heard that you are also from Chu State. ?”

"Siben is a native of Shangcai, Chu State."

The Empress Dowager Huayang sighed slightly, and her tone eased a lot: "I haven't seen Chu people in this palace for a long time, you should come closer."

Li Si took a step forward.

The Empress Dowager Huayang raised her eyes to look at him, the man in front of her was dressed in blue, with picturesque features, as delicate and soft as the Daishan Xiushui in Chudi, he was completely different from the people she usually saw.

Looking at it like this, my heart, which has been lonely for four years, suddenly skipped a beat at this moment.

Hua Yang looked at Li Si for a long time and couldn't help but soften her eyes a lot. She sat up upright, with her coat hanging loosely on her body.

"Emissary Han, come and sit down."

Glancing at the vacant bed next to the Empress Dowager Huayang, Li Si suddenly had a bad feeling. He stood there stiffly, thinking how he should refuse.

"Is the Han envoy despising the old woman Aijia?"

Upon hearing this, Li Si hurriedly said:

"The Queen Mother is unparalleled in beauty, Si dare not be disrespectful..."

"Isn't it coming yet?"

The Empress Dowager's tone was already threatening, so Li Si had no choice but to kneel and sit beside the Empress Dowager. Just as Li Si knelt down, a soft body was already leaning against Li Si's arms. Li Si's body stiffened instantly, but But he couldn't move.

Then, a soft voice sounded in Li Si's ear:

"Why is Ambassador Han so stiff?"

While saying this, the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to caress Li Si's cheek. For a while, the two heard each other's breathing. Li Si lowered his head, just in time to see the raised eyes of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Those sparkling eyes stared straight at Li Si, and his unparalleled beauty was filled with a heart-wrenching and sad look.

"Although Ai's family is an empress dowager, it can't match the loneliness in this deep palace. I hope Han Envoy can understand the atmosphere and serve Ai's family on the mat."

The Empress Dowager Huayang stretched her hand towards Li Si's waist, and she wanted to undress the people around her as she spoke.

Li Si was shocked and hurriedly pushed the Empress Dowager Huayang aside.

Even though Li Si knew that the Queen Mother of Qin State had always been more dissolute, and guessed that the Queen Mother might have that intention for him, he did not expect that the Queen Mother Huayang would be so direct.

The queen mother who was pushed aside turned her head, looked at Li Si who had stood up, and said sadly: "Isn't Aijia not beautiful enough?"

The woman on the bed had blurred eyes, blushing cheeks, and a charming style. It's a pity that she is the grandmother of King Qin.

Thinking of Lai Ai who slept with the Queen Mother Zhao, and thinking about Lai Ai's later ending, no matter how beautiful the woman in front of him was, Li Si would not dare to touch it.

Seeing that Li Si was silent, the Empress Dowager Huayang continued to seduce:

"Envoy Han, don't worry, the Ai family will naturally not treat you badly, as long as you serve well, you will be rich and prosperous at your fingertips."

"Queen, I can't..."

Just when Li Si opened his mouth to refuse, a panicked and hasty call came from outside: "King Qin is here—!"

Before the sound of the whistle fell, Ying Zheng's roaring voice appeared outside the inner room: "Let the widows in!"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has orders..." The maid outside the door was still hastily stopping.

"Step aside!"

With a roar, the door of the inner room was knocked open, the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer and closer, the white curtain was forcefully lifted, and an angry Ying Zheng strode in from the outside.

Seeing Li Si standing by the bed intact, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.Hearing that Li Si was summoned by the Empress Dowager Huayang alone, he hurried over, fearing that the Empress Dowager who represented the clan would do something to Li Si, Li Si was fine, so he was naturally relieved.

But when Ying Zheng noticed Li Si's messy clothes and the Empress Dowager Huayang who was also in messy clothes on the bed, his eyes suddenly sank, but he temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to the Empress Dowager Huayang who was on the bed. Said: "The grandson pays a visit to the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat up, glanced at Ying Zheng indifferently, and said coldly: "Your Majesty will not be here for a long time, why do you think of visiting Ai's family today?"

Faced with the Queen Mother Huayang's questioning, Ying Zheng didn't feel embarrassed either. He walked up to Li Si and continued: "My grandson has always wanted to come to see the Queen Mother, but I just don't have time for a while. Today I heard that the teacher also came to visit the Queen Mother, so I decided to go with him." coming."

The Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes swept across the faces of Ying Zheng and Li Si. Li Si's expressionless face also let the Empress Dowager Huayang know that she had failed.

Waving her hand dejectedly, the Empress Dowager Huayang signaled that Ying Zheng and Li Si could step back.

If Li Si met with an amnesty, he hurriedly saluted and left the side palace like a wolf's den and a tiger's den together with Ying Zheng--for Li Si, the Queen Mother Huayang was indeed like a wolf and a tiger.

Looking at the back of the two leaving, the Empress Dowager Huayang sighed deeply, got up and walked to a bronze mirror, seeing the unparalleled beauty in the mirror, the Empress Dowager Huayang caressed her own face with trembling fingers.

She is really not reconciled to having such a beauty wither in this deep palace.

She must make the person who dares to reject her pay the price.

Following behind Ying Zheng, Li Si didn't say a word. From the young man's eyes, he had already seen something.

After walking for a while, Li Si realized that Ying Zheng was not walking towards the palace where he lived temporarily, but directly walked into the King Qin's bedroom in Xianyang Palace.

After dismissing the eunuchs and maids serving in the dormitory, Ying Zheng turned his back to Li Si and continued without saying a word.

This reminded Li Si of the time when they were still monarchs and ministers in the previous life, and at that time...he must be the one who spoke first.

Thinking helplessly like this, Li Si knew that he should be the one who spoke first this time, and he couldn't wait for King Qin to ask himself: Did you sleep with my grandma?

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and I just chatted a few words, nothing else..."

Before Li Si finished speaking, the young man with his back turned to him suddenly turned around and stared at Li Si who was standing in the hall. The handsome young man suddenly asked, "Do you have someone you like, Mister?"

Li Si lowered his head and did not reply, but he had to admit that when the young man asked this question, he was suddenly taken aback.

From the moment he was reborn to the present, from the moment he divorced, all Li Si thought about was how to reform the law and make the country rich, but he never thought about his own affairs.

When Ying Zheng said this, he didn't know how to answer.
