"Squeak!" The door was pushed open, and several pretty maids carried a wooden basin in.
Steam rose from the wooden basin, and the fragrance of flowers assailed the nose. It was actually filled with hot water and scattered with many flower petals.
"Miss, please wash your hair!" The maids bowed.
The snow maiden nodded and walked over.
A servant girl closed the door and windows, and two servant girls came to the snow maidens 'side.
The snow maidens lowered their heads and placed their hair into the wooden basin. Immediately, the water vapor dispersed, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.
The snow maidens 'hair was long and slender, about three meters long. Half of it was soaked in warm water, and the other half was outside of the wooden basin. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
The snow maiden raised her hand and scooped up some clear water before sprinkling it on her face.
She opened her beautiful eyes slightly and her red lips parted slightly."Tomorrow, I'm going out for a bit.”
"Yes, sir!" The maidservants bowed and accepted the order.
Fei Xue Pavilion was one of the branches of the Mo family, and the snow maidens were the bosses here. The maids all followed her lead and obeyed her orders.
————————-
Late at night, Lao Ai arrived at Yaoyue Palace and pushed open the door of Zheng Huan's bedroom.
"Greetings, Lord Jiao!" The palace maids on duty knelt on the ground and respectfully called out.
"You may leave now!" Lao Ai smiled. I'm here to see the Queen."
"Here!" The palace maids bowed and left.
When he arrived at the inner room, Zheng Huan did not sleep. Instead, he was wearing pink pajamas and sitting in front of the desk, slightly lost in thought.
Zheng Huan's hair was like a waterfall, black and shiny. His face was peerless and could topple a country.
When Lao Ai came, she heard the commotion. At first, she was very excited, but when Lao Ai entered the room, she felt a little sour in her heart, and felt very uncomfortable.
A woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Who knew what the Queen of Great Qin was thinking?
"Empress!" Lao Ai sat behind Zheng Huan and said gently,""You're not asleep yet?"
"The night is long and I can't sleep alone. How can I sleep?”Zheng Huan turned around, looked at Lao Ai with his beautiful eyes, and said faintly,""Lord Huan, you finally thought of coming to see me.”
" Zheng Huan, I know you're angry that I didn't come to your place last night, but I'm really busy…" Lao Ai said.
"Busy? Did he go to Weiyang Palace to work? Humph!" Zheng Huan pursed his lips, both angry and amused.
Lao Ai gave a dry laugh and said," You know about it?”
"Many of the palace maids are my subordinates. Why didn't I know?”" Lao Ai, let me tell you a secret." Zheng Huan sighed softly." Actually, I'm not a citizen of the State of Zheng. My previous identity as a descendant of the State of Zheng was a fake. My real identity is the Princess of the State of Chu. My original surname is Mi."”
Lao Ai's eyes widened in shock.
So Queen Zheng was the princess of Chu State. This, this was interesting…
" The reason why I was able to marry into the State of Qin was because of my two uncles, Lord Chang Ping and Lord Chang Wen. As of now, the King of Qin doesn't know about it…" Zheng Huan said softly, telling Lao Ai everything about his background.
Lao Ai sighed for a long time.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Zheng Huan gently stroked Lao Ai's chin with his jade-like hand and said in a low voice,""Because I want to tell you all my secrets…In this way, I have no secrets to hide from you. Even if you have something to use against me, you don't have to hide anything else from me, like last night when you went to Weiyang Palace to talk to Empress Dowager Zhao, okay?”
Sensing Zheng Huan's deep affection, Lao Ai sighed softly and said,""Good! Let me tell you, I am indeed with Empress Dowager Zhao.”
"Then tell me, do you like me more or do you like Empress Dowager Zhao more?”
"Idiot, of course it's you!"
"Why? I'm as beautiful as her…"
"This question is very simple!" " That's because you're an innocent and pure girl," Lao Ai said with a smile." That's why I like you more!"”
"Hehe! Thank you so much! Lord Yao, I only like you!”
——————————
The next morning, Lao Ai first chatted with Zheng Huan for a long time before bidding her farewell. After that, he went to Weiyang Palace to bid farewell to Lady Zhao for a few days.
"What is it? Going to war again?" Zhao Ji grabbed Lao Ai's arm and shook her head firmly.""No! The war between Yan, Zhao, and Qin had a total of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Every moment, people died. It was very dangerous! I don't agree with you going! If you want fame, I'll immediately ask Ying Zheng to confer it on you!”
As she spoke, she was about to drag Lao Ai to see Ying Zheng.
Lao Ai pushed her away abruptly, almost causing her to fall down. Fortunately, Xue Qi and Lu Yao, the two maidservants, held her up.
Lady Zhao let out an 'aiyo', then glared at Lao Ai with her beautiful eyes and said angrily,""You, what are you doing? You want to kill me?"
“嫪毐! Don't go too far!" " The Empress Dowager treats you like a mountain," Xue Qi chided." She gives you whatever you want. How could you hurt her?"”
Lao Ai looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh." Empress Dowager, it's not like I haven't told you before that I like fame and fortune, and I also covet wealth and honor. But, I admire the fame and fortune that I have earned through hard work more! Blindly demanding and rewarding will only make my heart ache! Therefore, from this moment on, I hope that you will never order Ying Zheng to confer me with a title!”
"I, I…"
"Aren't you going to apologize to me?" Lao Ai snorted.
Lady Zhao's heart trembled. Under the dumbfounded gazes of Xue Qi and Lu Yao, she bowed to Lao Ai and said softly,""ChenQie knows her mistake. Please forgive her!”
"Haha! That's more like it! Beloved Consort, please rise!" Lao Ai stepped forward and helped Lady Zhao up, chuckling.
Seeing this scene, Xue Qi and Lu Yao's eyes were dull, and their souls flew out of their bodies.
Heavens, this was too shocking.
The Empress Dowager and Lao Ai were lovers?
Fortunately, there were only a few of them here and no outsiders. Otherwise, if word got out, especially if Qin Wangzheng heard it, there would be big trouble!
He had to admit that Lao Ai and Lady Zhao were really capable!
