A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Zhao Lijiang couldn't believe it when he learned that Ying Zheng had sent away all the ten beauties he had rewarded!

She was leaning on the couch, and the maid next to her was gently shaking her fan, while Lao Ai was respectfully beating her legs as usual. Zhao Lijiang enjoyed the glory brought by this right so much that he never tired of it every day.

But when she saw Lu Buwei standing in front of her, she felt disappointed again. Ever since he sent Lao Ai to her, this old guy had parted ways with her and rarely interacted with her. Why was he here again today? Could it be that... seeing that Lao Ai, whom he favored, was so jealous that he wanted to rekindle his old love?

Lu Buwei had never thought about this. Seeing the extravagant and lustful Queen Mother in front of him, he really didn't want to have anything to do with her. But a few days ago, she went crazy and embarrassed Shimi in public, which made Ying Zheng very angry. , if she doesn't come to persuade her, this woman is afraid that she will knock off the roof of Qin Palace!

"I heard that Queen Mother, you sent ten beauties to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't keep any of them?"

Lu Buwei bowed and asked respectfully.

Zhao Lijiang was still leaning back, with no intention of getting up. She spoke slowly in a lazy tone.

"Only the most beautiful one was kept, but... she was sent to be a maid."

She looked at the eunuch serving next to her again and asked

"But you kept the beauty from Chu?"

The eunuch responded quickly

"When I got back to the Queen Mother, it was exactly that beauty named Qu Wurou."

"In the past few days, apart from calling Shimi to serve you, your Majesty has never summoned her?"

"The Queen Mother has not been summoned even once."

After hearing this, Zhao Lijiang narrowed her moving eyes, as if thinking about something, and then she said

"It's really unbelievable. Neither I nor the late king are devoted people. How could we give birth to a child who is so devoted and affectionate? It really doesn't look like my Zhao Lijiang's child."

She glanced at Lu Buwei and asked with a half-smile.

"Lu Xiangguo, what do you think we should do about this? The king of Da Qin only loves one woman. If this woman can't give birth to a child, then won't our country of Da Qin have no heirs?"

Lu Buwei heard that Zhao Lijiang was concerned about the Qin Dynasty, but he actually knew that this witch only wanted to target Shimi!

"Shimi Empress is still young. Your Majesty and Shimi Empress are now very loving. Sooner or later, we will have children."

After hearing this, Zhao Lijiang stood up and thought for a while, as if she was very concerned about the issue of Ying Zheng's heirs. Seeing him pondering for a moment, he said

"I can't let Zheng'er only favor Shimi. If she can't have children! Wouldn't she become a sinner of the Qin Dynasty! That person named Qu Wurou is also a person who is worthless and has no skin. Even a man can't handle it, so let's do this... Since Zheng'er doesn't want another concubine, then I'll send Qu Wurou directly to his palace in the name of his concubine! In this way, Zheng'er can't refuse, that way Mi, you don’t even dare to say no, do you?”

Seeing that she was messing around again, Lu Buwei quickly rejected her idea.

"The Queen Mother, if Wei Chen were the Queen Mother, she would never do this."

"What? What's wrong?"

Zhao Lijiang raised his eyebrows, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Lu Buwei lowered his head and analyzed unhurriedly

"Your Majesty and Shikiya are in a strong relationship now. If I insist on giving him a woman he doesn't love between them, I'm afraid it will arouse Your Majesty's dissatisfaction and hurt the mother-son relationship between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhao Lijiang stunned, he said again

"The Queen Mother must have noticed the last palace banquet. Your Majesty was very protective of Shimi. He did not hesitate to get angry in front of everyone to protect her reputation. He even confronted you, the Queen Mother. This matter has not been over for long. Now you It's a beautiful woman, and it's a concubine for him. It's a difficult thing to do, but it ends up being unsatisfactory in the end. Isn't it a waste of effort?"

What Lu Buwei said seemed to be to reconcile the mother-son relationship between Zhao Lijiang and Ying Zheng, and it sounded like he was also defending Shimi, but only he knew that by doing so, he was also safeguarding his own rights.

Although Shimi is a favorite concubine now, she has nothing to do with him, and she has no relatives or retainers behind her. Even if she becomes a queen in the future, Ying Zheng will not be able to promote her mother's family. Naturally, her position as prime minister can be guaranteed. As long as she is with Shimi Mi maintains a good relationship, and she will not slander herself in front of Ying Zheng at all.

As for the beauty recommended by Zhao Lijiang, who knows the details. The beauty she recommended must be her confidant. If she really becomes a beloved concubine in the future, talking nonsense in front of Ying Zheng and referring to her, wouldn't it be a big disaster? Coming soon? Lu Buwei naturally tried his best to dispel Zhao Lijiang's thoughts.

What Lu Buwei said naturally had an effect. Zhao Lijiang, who had been eager to call Qu Wurou to discuss it, had completely given up the idea at this moment, so he had to put the matter on hold for the time being.

The Qu Wurou who was left behind was a beauty, but she was particularly eye-catching. But she was once an official lady, and even though she suffered all the hardships as a singer, she was not good at this trivial matter. In addition, she talked little and had a dull expression. Naturally, she was not popular among the palace maids. Only the little eunuchs were willing to Talk to her.

Shi Yi has been taking her to do things these days. She also knows Shimi's taboos and never takes her to the inner palace or in front of the king. On the one hand, she has her own selfish motives and does not want Ying Zheng to contact her. On the one hand, I simply don't like her.

Seeing that she couldn't do things well and her mouth wasn't sweet enough, Shi Yi felt a fire built up in her heart and had nowhere to vent it. She said angrily.

What's so great about being a woman from an official family in the past! I am a former Qing Dynasty princess! If you don't touch the spring water with your fingers, won't you still do things in an orderly manner? !

But after getting along for a long time, Shi Yi still saw some clues. When Ying Zheng and Shi Mi walked far away, leaving only their backs, Qu Wurou's eyes would still follow them. She would always look blankly. Looking at the backs of Ying Zheng and Shi Mi, it's hard to tell whether it's envy or yearning in those amber eyes, but she always asks a question at this time, as if talking to herself.

"This is the first time I have seen a king who loves only one person."

Qu Wurou would not reveal her emotions and thoughts to others, but when her eyes followed Ying Zheng unconsciously, this small move was still noticed by Shi Yi.

She was definitely not as aloof as she appeared. This was Shi Yi's certainty. She wanted to understand this woman's ambitions and wanted to know whether she was willing to stay, waiting for an opportunity to get close to Ying Zheng, or willing to be a maid.

Soon, the opportunity came to test the idea.

At nightfall, Shi Yi and Qu Wurou finished their work and were about to go to rest, but they met Wang Jian, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. Although they both served Ying Zheng, Wang Jian seemed to be busy with important things recently and rarely appeared in the palace. When he met someone he hadn't seen for a long time, Shi Yi naturally wanted to say a few words to him.
