Seeing that Yingsi had already been dazzled by the early victory and could not even listen to a word, Chuiliji sighed in his heart, but did not dare to show it on his face, let alone forcefully give advice to Brother Jun. He felt: "Since

If you can't listen, why should I say more? If it's like you said, the Qin army conquered and occupied Mianchi in one fell swoop, why wouldn't I be happy?"

"But, if I'm convicted for forcibly admonishing, what else can I gain besides showing that I'm more correct than you? On the contrary, I'll lose the chance to save the situation."

Qili thought about it for a long time, but he finally endured it, burying all his unhappiness in his stomach, and quietly watching the next development of the situation.

Mi Bazi took the carriage used by the humble eunuchs in Xianyang Palace and went to Chuli to visit Chuliji. She did not send anyone to deliver a message in advance to inform her that she would visit Chuli. Therefore, Chuliji was there.

While reading in the study room of the mansion, he heard the concierge coming in a hurry to report the visit of Mi Bazi, your beloved concubine, but he did not react for a moment.

Chuiliji asked the porter: "Have you inquired clearly? The person who came is indeed the Mi Bazi who is favored by the emperor today?" The porter nodded vigorously and replied conclusively: "You are really asking me.

, it is indeed that Concubine Mi, but she is riding in an ordinary carriage, which is not very eye-catching."

When Qi Liji heard the concierge mention that Concubine Mi was riding in an ordinary carriage, he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation, because Mi Bazi was so respected and favored in the Qin Kingdom, how could she just ride in it casually?

Coming with such a carriage?

Qi Liji ordered the porter: "Go and invite Concubine Mi to the central hall. I will wait for her there." After receiving the order, the porter immediately turned around and went to greet Mi Bazi.

Qiliji put on the deep-dressed court clothes worn only for national ceremonies. He wrapped himself up layer by layer with a foot-long skirt, and then tied a foot-wide belt around his waist.

Finally, he carefully hung the jade ring, jade pendant and other jade pendants on the belt hook.

He wore a crown on his head, with six strings of beads hanging from his front and back, which was in line with his rank of Duke and Viscount, a direct descendant of the Qin Kingdom.

Chuiliji seemed extremely serious, as if he valued Mi Bazi particularly and wanted to treat her with the most solemn etiquette. In fact, he had other considerations in his heart. Chuiliji heard that Mi Fei was a woman with great respect, and almost

You can have fun day by day, and you can spend your days and nights as much as you want, but you are so tired that Brother Ying Si deliberately dodges.

She is always charming and eye-catching, and she is Brother Jun's favorite concubine. As a younger brother, of course he must maintain appropriate discretion and stay away from her.

If it weren't for this reason, he and Mi Bazi were in an uncle-sister-in-law relationship, just like family members, so why should he be so careful? Qiliji patiently put on his dark clothes and kept thinking about how to talk to Mi Bazi for a while.

He packed up, and when he arrived at the reception hall of the mansion, Mi Bazi was already waiting there. Chu Liji hurriedly bowed to salute, and at the same time secretly glanced at Concubine Mi, thinking in his heart: "I let the favor of my beloved brother Jun...

My beloved concubine has been waiting in the hall for a long time, will she get angry?"

He saw that Concubine Mi had very plain makeup today, no makeup on her face, and her clothes were very simple, so she was not dressed up. Qili quickly saluted, feeling strange in his heart: "She usually puts a lot of emphasis on clothes and appearance.

Why are you so simple today?"

Qili Ji thought to himself, and apologized: "It's all my fault for being slow in my actions. I kept my wife waiting for so long. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

I saw Mi Bazi also bending down to say a thousand blessings to Chu Liji, and said: "Brother Ji is exempt from the courtesy, why should we be polite between our sisters-in-law and uncles? It's also my fault that I came too suddenly and disturbed the house."

Chu Liji was secretly surprised. He found that Mi Bazi's attitude was more polite than ever before, which was completely opposite to her past style. In the past, Mi Bazi relied on herself to get the special favor of the monarch Yingsi, and ordinary ministers simply did not

Take it seriously.

Moreover, Concubine Mi has always been a determined woman. She always speaks her mind and rarely talks to others in a low voice. Of course, except for Brother Jun Yingsi, that is her whole support. Of course she serves carefully, deliberately flatters, and does everything.

Extremely.

Because Qi Liji deliberately kept a respectful distance from Concubine Mi, coupled with his noble birth and high reputation in the Qin State, Concubine Mi did not dare to cause trouble for him easily. There was a strong relationship between the two sisters-in-law.

The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, so we can live in peace and harmony.

Chuiliji suddenly came to visit from Concubine Mi, and found that she was so humble and polite. He had already guessed that she probably didn't come to visit for no reason. It was not a big deal. She didn't have to go all the way to Chuili to visit her.

of.

Qiliji calmed down, and first said hello to Concubine Mi: "Madam Sister-in-law is here to visit our house, and she is very happy. Brother Jun and Madam Sister-in-law are both well recently. My brother is suffering from a small illness and has not had any symptoms for a while.

I went to court and was unable to say hello to Brother Jun and Madam Sister-in-law in time."

It is true that Chuiliji did not go to court for more than ten days. He asked Brother Jun Yingsi for leave, saying that his old stomach disease had recurred and he always felt uncomfortable in his stomach and did not want to eat or drink, so he wanted to rest at home for a while.

.

It is true that Qili Jida has a stomach problem in his little body, but it is also a chronic disease that will grow up. It will become bigger when it is big and small when it is small. Now, this serious illness has become a good reason for him to avoid Qingjing. Chaozhong

If necessary, he would certainly do his part. However, if a fight was involved, Qiliji would wisely avoid trouble at home.

Of course, he would inevitably feel aggrieved at times, feeling cold and lonely, with feelings that no one could understand. But when he thought about the tragedy of brothers or fathers and sons fighting for the throne, brothers, fathers and sons fighting each other, he was glad that he could understand it.

He will not easily let Ying Si become jealous of himself, and he can still maintain a relatively stable and safe position in Qin.

Chuiliji took leave because of stomach problems. In fact, he was not idle at home. He took advantage of Brother Jun's temporary victory in winning Si and was immersed in the temporary victory of Mianchi battlefield, ignoring his younger brother who opposed sending troops. He helped Zhang Yi marry the Qin clan.

The woman Ying Xi is his wife.

Chuiliji was enthusiastic about this matter, mostly out of gratitude to Zhang Yi, thanking him for secretly coming up with ideas and showing the way out for the Qin army in the battle of Anyi, so that he could lead the Qin army in distress to retreat.

.

Of course, from Yu Gong's point of view, Qiliji also believed that Qin should keep Zhang Yi. Qiliji carefully thought about the so-called strategy of combining vertical and horizontal lines, which is related to the trend of the world and seems like a child playing a game.

Divide and combine, but if you let it go and let Su Qin dominate the situation, once the situation is achieved, Qin will be extremely passive.

This hidden worry is also an important reason why Chuiliji is determined to retain Zhang Yi. Chuiliji is not as resolute as Yingsi. He feels that Su Qin's alliance is childish, so he ignores it. Chuiliji has his own thoughtful thoughts.

On the one hand, my heart is much more humble.

Mi Bazi didn't know what Chu Liji was doing during this period. She didn't care what his purpose was at the moment, so she avoided going to court. For her, her husband Ying Si's current worries were the most important thing.

What a huge problem. She was originally a little woman who was not willing to be a man's personal and doting wife in the harem.

When she thinks about the government affairs of the imperial court, her heart can't help but beat wildly, her mood is also very excited, her heart is full of longing, and she can't control herself. However, after all, she is a foreign surname who married from Chu State and is not a direct descendant of the Qin family.

It is not easy for a woman who has no relatives in the Qin Kingdom to reach this stage and become the "eighth son" in the harem, whose title is second only to the queen.

Compared with the battlefield in the harem, the danger can only be far more dangerous than in combat. However, on the battlefield, there is a fight with open swords and guns, but in the harem, there is a turbulent undercurrent, which is difficult to guard against. If you are slightly negligent,

If something went wrong, of course she would be thrown into the cold palace as a prisoner for labor, or at worst she would be executed immediately.

This kind of danger is naturally unparalleled on the battlefield. Throughout the ages, how many women have been able to end up happily and smoothly in the palace!

Mi Bazi was worried about her husband's incomprehensible mood, and was also concerned about the safety of Qin. At this critical moment, she could not restrain herself and went out to find a way out of the predicament herself. This might arouse the jealousy or gossip of many people. She

Naturally, she has anticipated these unfavorable factors in her heart, but if she is allowed to watch the situation become more and more unfavorable, how can she be willing to do so?

Mi Bazi said to Chu Liji: "Brother Ji has never been in good health. You should pay more attention to his health. I came to the house today to ask Brother Ji about his health. I also want to ask for your help."

Let me try to persuade your brother."

After listening to Mi Bazi's greetings, Chuiliji replied: "Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law, for caring about me. I bothered you to come all the way out of the palace to visit. My brother feels deeply guilty and uneasy."

Chu Liji was polite and chatted with Mi Bazi, but in fact he had already thought in his heart: "The so-called visit by Concubine Mi is a lie. It is true that you ask me for help. Otherwise, between you Mi Bazi and my brother Jun,

How can such a heart care about my life and death for no reason!"

Mi Bazi was not a woman who liked to be secretive. When she saw that Chu Liji was reluctant to bring the topic to the government affairs, she simply said: "I came to the mansion today to ask Brother Ji Yuji, what are you doing?"

My brother is now worried about the war in Mianchi, and has not had a proper meal for two days. He locked himself in the dormitory and refused to come out. He wandered around in the palace alone, sighing. "

Qiliji had recently been busy serving as a matchmaker for Zhang Yi's marriage and helping Zhang Yi organize the marriage ceremony, so he didn't worry about the war in Mianchi. He thought that the Qin army was in a favorable situation in the battle of Mianchi. He thought to himself

: "Even if the war is unfavorable, wouldn't it be over if the Qin army retreats to Hangu Pass?"

However, now Brother Jun is having trouble sleeping and eating because of this, which is beyond Chuiliji's expectation. He hurriedly asked Mi Bazi: "Please forgive me for being stupid, but the situation in Mianchi is not good for our Qin army."
