Chapter 16 Don't Let Your Nosebleed
Where did the female voice come from in the court?
Ying Chengjiao had never heard of any female official who could hold an official position in the imperial court.
So his first thought was - which minister had a problem with his voice during the voice change period?
Turning his head, he saw a plump, petite woman sitting down next to him.
The perfect August 15th fell towards the petite calves, and the buttocks court dress was stretched tightly.
You don't even need to use it, it looks very elastic, I really want to take a picture of it.
A thought flashed through Ying Chengjiao's mind and he touched his nose, fearing that he would bleed.
Is this really a woman?
Hot pot? What is that? Food?
The woman sat next to Ying Chengjiao, puzzled . "What is hot pot?"
A faint fragrance emanated from the woman. Ying Chengjiao was impolite enough to put his face close to the woman and sniffed her, then smiled.
"The girl smells so good."
The woman just watched Ying Chengjiao do this rude thing without stopping him, scolding him, or dodging.
"Hotpot is a way of eating, or food, that I invented. If you are curious, you can come to Chang'an Junfu to eat after the court meeting."
Ying Chengjiao looked at the woman. She had skin that was much whiter than that of an ordinary Qin woman, a round face, and big, innocent eyes. Her facial features gave off an alternative style that gave her a slightly charming feeling.
Tsk tsk, if this were put on a high roof, she would surely be sitting firmly on the throne of the most beautiful courtesan, and it wouldn't matter if she only sold her art but not her body!
"What a pity." Ying Chengjiao shook his head.
"What a pity?" the woman asked curiously.
Ying Chengjiao looked at the woman's bun.
"It's a pity that the girl is already married. Cheng Jiao is a step too late."
This kind of bun is a hairstyle unique to married women, and unmarried women will not wear it.
"Haha, you're such a funny person! You're so stubborn!"
The woman's eyes curved into crescents.
"Is Chang'an Jun always like this?"
"Are you asking me if I would like to have lunch while your majesty is asking about state policy? Or are you asking me if I express my admiration for you when I first meet you?"
“They all are!”
At this moment, Ying Chengjiao really wished he had a feather fan in his hand so that he could fan it in front of him a few times, so that he could speak in a more stylish manner.
"For Yu Chengjiao, what to eat for lunch is much more difficult than the national policy that Your Majesty asked about."
The woman covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing too loudly.
She understood that Ying Chengjiao was talking about Ying Zheng's difficult problems, which were not problems for him as they were too simple.
It was so simple that he thought the question of what to eat for lunch was much more difficult than Ying Zheng's question.
This person is really good at bragging, so boastful!
Seeing the woman smiling happily, Ying Chengjiao continued, "As for expressing his admiration for the girl when they first met, it's not Chengjiao's fault for being abrupt , but the girl's."
The woman glared with her eyes puffed up, she obviously didn't expect Ying Chengjiao to blame this matter on her.
You shameless fellow! I haven't blamed you for being rude yet! You blame me first!
"What does this have to do with me?"
"This girl should only exist in heaven, how can we ever see her in the world? With a beauty like this girl, anyone who sees her will fall in love with her. How can you blame me for this? I can only blame the girl for being too beautiful."
If these words were spoken in modern times, they would definitely be labeled greasy.
But in the Qin Dynasty, no one would speak like this, at least women had never heard of anything like that.
The woman was in a good mood after hearing this and smiled again.
"Blame me, blame me. I want it, I want it."
On the nine-foot high platform, Ying Zheng sat on the throne, watching Ying Chengjiao chatting and laughing with the woman, holding his forehead, feeling a little distressed.
This brat! He brought shame upon me all over Bashu!
"I haven't asked for your name yet?"
The woman smiled playfully, but with a hint of maturity in her expression, and did not answer directly.
"You can tell Lord Chang'an your name, but Lord Chang'an, please tell me how to solve your majesty's problem first."
Ying Chengjiao glanced around.
"Except for me, everyone in this room should know the girl's name, right? I can just ask anyone and they will know."
Which family is this woman from? How could she be allowed by the emperor to attend court meetings?
Just by looking at the ministers' lack of surprise towards the woman, Ying Chengjiao knew that he was ignorant.
The First Emperor and his ministers were definitely familiar with this woman; she must be a very famous person.
I haven't attended court for so many years, but my Qin State actually has a woman who can attend court, and she is so beautiful. Why didn't Fusu tell me!
"Are you bragging to me? I don't know how to solve your majesty's problem!"
Ying Chengjiao snorted coldly: "What a poor way of provoking me!"
While the two were talking, the noise in the court came to an end.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he patted the armrests, and the ministers knew that Ying Zheng wanted them to be quiet.
The previous noisy sounds disappeared in an instant, and everyone sat down.
The left prime minister, Wei Zhuang, said: "I think the policy proposed by Prime Minister Wang is the most beneficial to the development of Qin. Qi, Chu, Yan and other places are too far away. Without a king nearby to guard them, it is impossible for them to completely submit to Qin."
Imperial Censor Feng Quji also stood up and echoed: "I heard that the reason why the Zhou Dynasty prospered was because King Wen and King Wu of Zhou divided the land of the world among the people. This allowed the Zhou Dynasty to enjoy eight hundred years of fortune. Our predecessors have done a good job, and our Qin State only needs to follow suit."
Afterwards, several important officials stood up.
Everyone agreed with the feudal system proposed by Wang Wan and praised this idea highly.
"What do you think of the feudal system, Lord Chang'an?"
The woman asked Ying Chengjiao quietly.
Ying Chengjiao curled his lips and said, "Not very good."
The woman rolled her eyes at Ying Chengjiao.
"Didn't you see that all the ministers agreed? Aren't they smarter than you?"
Although this person is interesting, he is very arrogant!
"They are definitely smarter than me combined, but they will pretend to be confused."
Ying Chengjiao took the opportunity to look at the woman with admiration.
I guess this has to be a D?
This is all natural!
"Isn't it the same for the girl, pretending to be ignorant when she knows the truth?"
The smile on the woman's face suddenly froze, like a slowly flowing stream suddenly blocked by a dam.
She rubbed her face with her jade-white hands and tried her best to speak in the same tone as before: "What is Chang'an Jun talking about?"
Ying Chengjiao stopped talking and just stared at the woman's curves.
Everyone likes to pretend to be confused, so there is no reason for me, Ying Chengjiao, to be the one who understands.
In the court, ministers continued to stand up, agreeing with the feudal system and requesting the First Emperor to grant the princes the title of king.
From beginning to end, no one opposed this matter.
Ying Chengjiao took the time to look at Li Si.
Historically, it was Li Si who stood up.
He openly opposed the feudal system and proposed the county system.
But in Ying Chengjiao's sight, Li Si sat there very still, with no intention of standing up.
Li Si did not say another word until the end of the court meeting.
"You all have a point. I will think about it carefully when I get back. Let's end the court meeting here today."
"Long live the emperor" three times was a gimmick used by the Qing Dynasty. There was no such tradition during the Qin Dynasty when the court was dismissed.
All the ministers sat quietly where they were, and when Ying Zheng left the Xianyang Palace, they stood up one by one, chatting with each other and walked out.
Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi, kept staring at Ying Chengjiao, sneered, stood up and was about to go forward to cause trouble for Ying Chengjiao.
The view was blocked by a sturdy figure, it was Meng Tian.
"Brother Meng? What are you doing?"
"Yesterday, Tian was a little too drunk with Zhao's wine. I wonder if the Marquis of Longxi still has any left?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xin stood up and punched Meng Tian, then said with a smile, "Brother Meng, why are you so distant with me? Come on, come on, I don't have anything else in my house, but I'll give you plenty of Zhao wine!"
Turning his head and glancing at Ying Chengjiao with a sneer, Li Xin said with some resentment: "This fellow got a good deal!"
"Haha! Let's go, why bother with him! Yesterday we talked about how Wu Anjun defeated the Xiongnu and made them dare not invade Zhao's border for ten years. It was really exciting! I have to talk to Tian in detail today!"
As Li Xin was dragged away by Meng Tian, he said with a mixture of pride and confusion: "My uncle is naturally powerful, but why don't you admire Qin Wu'an Jun, but my uncle instead?"
"I admire them all. Have you forgotten that my grandfather was the deputy general of Wu'an Jun? I grew up listening to Bai Qi's deeds. Now I want to hear about the deeds of Zhao Wu'an Jun, who was also a Wu'an Jun. If Zhao Wu'an Jun were still alive, how old would he be now?"
The two of them walked further and further away, and their voices gradually faded away.
Ying Chengjiao glanced at Meng Tian's back thoughtfully, wondering if that old man Meng Ao had told Meng Tian all about his affairs, otherwise there was no reason why Meng Tian would help him out.
"Changan Jun, please go!"
The woman stood up from beside Ying Chengqiu, and the two monthly fifteenth packages were again something that Ying Chengqiu was tempted to pay.
Don't let your nose bleed, that's so embarrassing!
