110. Chapter 110 Pleading for the Empress Dowager
"The royal family has no family affairs, which are family affairs and state affairs. Your Majesty is the supreme king of the Qin Dynasty. If your Majesty is not filial and kind to your mother, but instead expels the Queen Mother, the consequences for the people to follow will be disastrous, and it will even damage your Majesty's dignity."
I could tell that the person speaking was none other than Prime Minister Wang Wan, and then I heard a group of ministers echoing his voice: "Please give me a clear warning! Please give me a clear warning..."
"Anyone who dares to remonstrate with the Queen Mother will be killed by me." Ying Zheng said coldly. After that, the ministers remained silent and had no objections.
"There is no further discussion on this matter, please stand down!" Ying Zheng's words were sonorous and powerful, revealing the dignity and domineering of a king. This is a side I have never seen before. In front of me, he is usually a gentle and affectionate man.
"Hi!" A group of ministers exited the study one after another, while I quickly turned my back and hid in the corner, not wanting to be seen.
"Qingchi." It was Meng Tian's voice. I turned to look at him, and the backs of the ministers gradually blurred in my peripheral vision.
"What's the matter with General Meng?" I know that he is a capable and loyal minister of Ying Zheng, but I don't want to interfere with history or have too much contact with him.
Moreover, he often made fun of me in the past, so I always avoided him and rarely spoke. Today, he actually took the initiative to call me out, which was really a bit surprising.
"Qingchi, your Majesty is furious. You are the only one who can persuade him to put the overall situation first!" Meng Tian changed his usual cheerful expression towards me and became serious.
I hesitated for a while. It was my principle not to interfere in history. This was also the reason why I repeatedly avoided political affairs. I did not rush to agree to Meng Tian. I just said: "General Meng thinks highly of me."
"Qingchi, there is no need to avoid it. All you need to do is try your best." He handed over his hand and left.
"Is this Qingchi?" Ying Zheng called me in the study. He must have heard my voice.
I agreed, "Yes!" I quickly raised my hand, lifted the curtain and walked towards the study.
"Azheng, I just made lotus leaf soup and brought it to you to try." I handed the bowl to Ying Zheng, placed the tray on the low table, and bent down to pick up the bamboo slips on the ground.
"Well, it tastes very good!" Ying Zheng praised as he drank. Just a moment after I bent down to put the tray and picked up the bamboo slips, he had already drank half the bowl of lotus leaf soup.
"It smells light, tastes slightly sweet, is smooth and not greasy, and tastes light. Qingchi, what's so special about today's lotus leaf soup?" Ying Zheng looked at me with a wooden spoon in his hand, and there was still a little residue on the corner of his mouth.
I raised my hand to wipe away the soup juice for him with a cloth.
"Lotus leaf soup can relieve heat and fever and add salt." It seems to suit his taste. I will make more for him in the future.
"Replenishing salt, clearing the pond, this word has never been heard before." He was no longer surprised by my new words, and instead asked me for advice.
"When the human body sweats, the salt in the body will be taken out of the body. The body will get tired easily due to the loss of salt. Therefore, in summer, when you sweat a lot, you need to properly replenish salt." I tried to explain to him, hoping that he would
Can understand.
"It turns out that sweat smells salty because it contains salt."
"Yeah, smart!" If I had known that his intelligence was extraordinary, it would be easy for him to draw inferences from one instance to another. At this time, he still looked like a thirteen-year-old in my eyes.
"Ah Zheng!" The atmosphere was harmonious now, and I wanted to try to persuade him.
"Huh?" He lowered his head to drink the soup and hummed in agreement.
"She is your mother." I don't know if I can persuade him, but thinking of Zhao Ji's sad expression, I can't help but want to help her.
