Li Si got up early in the morning and came to the room as usual, preparing to 'meet' King Ying Zheng of Qin. However, he didn't expect to see Cheng Jiao standing at the door in a daze, with no intention of opening the door and going in.
"Master Qin Envoy." Cheng Jiao heard the voice, turned around, saw Li Si, and returned the greeting.
Although Cheng Jiaogui is a young master, he has stepped down from all his duties since the incident three years ago.
Therefore, from an officialdom perspective, Cheng Jiao was still a white person, so she could only call Li Si a "sir."
Li Si didn't know why Cheng Jiao stood at the door and refused to go in. He thought it was because the door was closed and couldn't be opened, so he planned to go forward and try to see if it really couldn't be opened.
"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Qin." Cheng Jiao saw Li Si's movements and hurriedly stopped Li Si.
What were the two people doing in this room? He secretly opened the crack and saw it.
If Li Si opened the door and caught them doing such a shameful thing in broad daylight, they would probably have to move their heads.
"What's the matter, young master?" Li Si was stopped by Cheng Jiao and pulled away, looking quite puzzled.
I'm saving you, do you know?
Cheng Jiao cursed in her heart and pulled Li Si further and further away from the room. She stopped and said, "Master Qin is looking quite good today."
Li Si strangely forgot about the room and glanced at the room. Although he was doubtful, he still replied, "Young Master is joking, it's just..."
Cheng Jiao saw that Li Si was still looking into the room, so she stood in front of Li Si, blocking his view, "It's really hard for the Qin ambassador to work hard for the Qin Dynasty. How about we go get some food first to satisfy our hunger. "
Li Si always felt that Cheng Jiao's behavior was very abnormal, as if she had been preventing him from entering that room.
This actually made Li Si more and more curious.
Did the young master do something in the room and didn't want others to find out?
"But I just eat it."
"I know that Mr. Qin is hungry, let's go."
Li Si:.
Cheng Jiao didn't give Li Si any chance to defend herself, and dragged Li Si downstairs.
a while ~
The desk was filled with all kinds of delicious pastries and preserved fruits, and Li Si just looked down at them in a daze.
He had already eaten, and his stomach was still feeling full.
How can I still eat it?
Li Si raised his head and found that Cheng Jiao was also looking at things in a daze, feeling speechless.
In fact, Cheng Jiao also ate after waking up, but now she can't eat either.
But in order to stabilize Li Si, he had no choice but to come up with such a temporary idea.
Inadvertently raising her head, Cheng Jiao met Li Si's eyes.
"Ahem." Cheng Jiao subconsciously picked up a piece of pastry, took a small bite, and said stiffly, "This pastry, hehe, tastes pretty good. Mr. Qin also wants to try it."
Li Si could tell at a glance that Cheng Jiao must have eaten something.
But facing the young master's invitation, he couldn't refuse.
So Li Si lowered his gaze, trying to find a smaller piece among the pile of pastries and preserved fruits.
But when the cook knew that it was Li Si and Cheng Jiao who wanted to eat, he prepared the most substantial and large portions of food for the two adults, for fear that they would not be full.
Li Si looked at the cakes of about the same size and picked up a piece resignedly. Then he looked at Cheng Jiao and found that he was looking at him.
Although he was reluctant, Li Si still had to stuff it into his mouth.
If others saw it, they would think that Li Si was eating some unpleasant food.
After swallowing it with difficulty, Li Si forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "This tastes good."
"Since Lord Qin likes it, then give it all to Lord Qin."
Cheng Jiao took the plates of pastries in front of her and carried them to Li Si.
Li Si:!
Just when Li Si was about to cry, a pleasant voice sounded in their ears.
"You had a good meal."
Li Si and Cheng Jiao raised their heads at the same time and saw Shu Li and Ying Zheng arriving beside them at some unknown time. They immediately stood up and saluted.
"Sister, Brother Wang."
"I have seen your Majesty and Queen."
Shuli nodded gently.
Ying Zheng stepped forward, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, tasted it carefully and said, "It seems to be similar to the ones in the palace."
Shu Li raised her head, "I don't even care who brought it in."
Ying Zheng immediately looked at Shu Li with a doting smile, "I would also like to thank the queen for bringing me such a delicious pastry."
"Hmph, some people only know how to deal with government affairs and never eat on time."
Cheng Jiao:.
Thank you, he is already full
Li Si:.
Why do I feel more stretched?
Cheng Jiao suddenly noticed that Ying Zheng was holding a mask and asked strangely, "Brother Wang, what are you doing with the mask?"
"Let's go for a walk. You can eat slowly." Shu Li answered for Ying Zheng, then pulled Ying Zheng and walked outside.
Li Si looked at the two people leaving in astonishment.
etc,
Is it my job to persuade the queen to return?
No, even the king has arrived in Xinzheng, so is the mission at the beginning still meaningful?
Or should I persuade the king and queen to return to Xianyang?
Wait a little longer,
"Where are the guards? There are no guards to protect the king!"
Li Si suddenly realized that only Shu Li and Ying Zheng went out, and there were no guards following them. What if something happened to them?
Cheng Jiao grabbed Li Si, who was about to follow him, and used herself as a guard.
"Master Qin Envoy, I have a sincere message for you. Don't disturb the coexistence of my sister and Brother Wang." Cheng Jiao said with lingering fear.
Li Si was stunned for a moment, then thanked him and bowed, "Thank you, sir."
street
"How do you feel about being able to go out for a walk?" Shuli said as he walked.
Wearing a mask, Ying Zheng kept looking around as if he was entering the city for the first time. "It's a different feeling from the palace, but compared to the streets of Xianyang, it's a little lacking."
Shuli just smiled after hearing this.
"Although the palace is big, even if you stop and go, you can still finish it quickly. It's not like this world, where you stop and go, and you don't know if you can finish it in your lifetime."
Ying Zheng was silent for a while and said, "So this is why Chan'er left Xianyang without saying a word."
"Are you angry?" Shuli turned her head and looked at Ying Zheng.
"."
"I can't say he's angry." Ying Zheng looked at the road ahead, turned his head and glanced at Shu Li, "It's more of a feeling of loss."
"Chan'er has closed herself in Lanchi for three years, although she has laughed and made trouble." Ying Zheng said this, and a happy smile could not help but appear on his lips.
"However, Chan'er has always had an unsolvable knot in her heart." Ying Zheng stopped and looked at Shu Li, "I know, and I try my best to help Chan'er untie it. I just hope that Chan'er won't say anything. and the land will depart.”
Shu Li raised her head and looked at Ying Zheng.
The face hidden under the veil only revealed eyes full of love.
