Early in the morning, the rising sun rose from the east and shone on the earth, dispelling the night and the cold wind. A new day had arrived as scheduled.
On the steps outside the main hall of Ganquan Palace, a figure in a eunuch's uniform stood quietly in the middle of the steps. He sat still like an old monk.
He was none other than Zhao Gao, who acted as the goalkeeper and duty officer.
There was no doubt that Zhao Gao had been waiting outside the palace for the entire night.
When the sun was bright enough to see the sun from the horizon, Zhao Gao opened his eyes. His two eyes shone with a golden light that was extremely soul-stirring.
Looking back at the majestic palace beside him, Zhao Gao muttered to himself,""Why aren't you coming out yet? Could it be that the man and the concubine are in love and have already entered a state of being inseparable? They don't want to be separated for a moment…"
In his opinion, his nephew was eighteen years old, but he had yet to taste what a woman was like. He had wasted his good looks, and Zhao Ji had not slept with anyone for nearly ten years.
His nephew was a handsome young man, and Zhao Ji was a charming empress dowager. The two of them were in love, and it was not too surprising that they would ignite when dry wood met fire.
In the main hall, in front of the phoenix bed, Zhao Ji's long hair fluttered in the wind. Her expression was cold as she stretched out her arms. Jiang Ming was helping her change.
After helping Empress Dowager Ji put on the robe embroidered with golden phoenix, which was mainly black and supplemented by red, Jiang Li walked behind her and smoothed her hair with his fingers. He then hugged her from behind and said in a low voice with a smile,""Sister Ji, your body smells so good that it's difficult for me to control myself…"
Hearing this shameful address again, Zhao Ji undid the dog paw on her waist and turned around to look at the daring dog. She scolded coldly,"If you continue to spout nonsense, bengong will immediately summon the palace guards into the palace and drag you out to be torn apart.”
" Che Lie…" Jiang Li gulped. A chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head. His entire body was cold.
Empress Dowager Ji was obviously not speaking her mind. Due to her identity, she could not maintain her face, so she obviously liked to hear these words, but she had to pretend to hate them.
Jiang Li suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. When Empress Dowager Ji mentioned the word " car crack," he thought of the poison. This guy had died from a car crack.
The death penalty for ordinary people was usually to cut off the head first and then dismember the body by four horses. However, the poison was to cut off the head and then dismember the body by five horses. This was the origin of the story of five horses dismembering the body.
"Five horses to dismember…"
Jiang Li's cheeks trembled. He was a little flustered.
Even though in history, Poison was killed because of his rebellion, Ying Zheng had never interfered with Empress Dowager Ji's private life.
Now, he was pushed into the fire pit by his cheap uncle and became the concubine of Empress Dowager Ji at a young age. History had already crossed paths. Who knew if the future Ying Zheng would not be able to stand it and tear him apart.
Now, if he wanted to rest easy and live a good life, he could only hold onto Empress Dowager Ji tightly. This was the greatest life-saving talisman.
While Jiang Li was thinking about all kinds of things, Lady Zhao saw that his face was slightly pale. She thought that Jiang Li was frightened by the word " broken car."
She raised her chin slightly and said proudly,"Now you know fear? Don't think that bengong will be bewitched by you just because you know some flowery words. If you dare to speak nonsense again in the future, bengong will definitely let you taste what the torture of being torn apart by a car is.”
Zhao Ji's slightly arrogant voice brought Jiang Li back to his senses. A playful smile appeared in his eyes.
He had only known her for a day, but he had already roughly figured out Empress Dowager Ji's personality.
Empress Dowager Ji was a tsundere, and at the same time, she was clingy and lacked a sense of security.
Last night, in the second half of the night, Sister Ji hugged him very tightly like a kitten, almost fusing with him.
Glancing at Empress Dowager Ji's gaze, Jiang Li took her hand and walked toward the dressing mirror.
Combing a woman's hair was one of the essential skills of a good man. Since he was prepared to live off a woman, he had to be 120% alert.
In ancient times, women's hairstyles were very complicated, especially Empress Dowager Ji's hairstyle. She needed to wear a phoenix crown and a golden hairpin. Her hair needed to be coiled on the top of her head, and it also needed to fall behind her back and ears.
In front of the bronze mirror, Lady Zhao stared at the mirror in front of her quietly. Jiang Li's reflection was reflected in it.
He was holding a jade comb, combing and braiding his hair very skillfully, as if he had practiced hard for a long time.
Zhao Ji was surprised. This dog was still a virgin yesterday and had never even had sex with a woman. How could he be so skilled?
Could it be that he used to comb his mother's hair often?
Not understanding the reason, Zhao Ji glanced at the reflection of a certain someone in the bronze mirror and said coldly,""If you lose a single strand of hair, Bengong will order the palace maids to shave you bald.”
Jiang Li said as he combed," Confucius said,'The body, hair, and skin are given to your parents. You dare not hurt them. This is the beginning of filial piety.'”
"Confucius said…"
" You claim to have learned from a hundred schools of thought." Lady Zhao scoffed and said sarcastically," Confucianism is a prominent school of learning in the world. It pays attention to the five cardinal guides, which are divided into benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith. How much of the five cardinal guides have you learned?”
" I…" Jiang Li opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Rites were the principles and moral norms that maintained society and must be followed. However, he had slept with Sister Ji, so the rites were gone.
In silence, Jiang Li spent an hour combing Empress Dowager Ji's hair.
Lady Zhao stood in front of the bronze mirror and walked around. She couldn't find anything wrong with it. Then she looked up at Jiang Li for a long time. Finally, she sighed."You can leave. In the future, you are not allowed to take even half a step into the Ganquan Palace. Otherwise, this prince will expel you from the State of Qin.'
Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes dimmed. He put on his acting skills, and a look of despair appeared on his face, as if the world had lost its color. Then, he forced a smile."Empress Dowager, can you let me finish that unfinished painting? This is my last wish.”
" No..." Zhao Ji wanted to say no, but when she saw the pitiful expression of this dog in front of her, her heart softened and her heart ached. In the end, she changed her words coldly."I'll give you an hour."
"Good!" Jiang Li smiled and walked to the easel that he had set up yesterday.
Zhao Ji also came over and stood in front of the pool, looking like she was admiring the flowers and fish.
When Jiang Li began to paint, Lady Zhao gritted her teeth. She was in a terrible mood, and she had a feeling that she was about to lose something.
"What happened to me?"
She was shocked. Even if she did not want to admit it, that dog had indeed left a very special mark in her heart that could not be erased.
An hour later, Jiang Li put away his brush and examined it carefully. He didn't find any problems. Then, he raised his head and bowed to Lady Zhao."The ends of the earth and the sky are endless, only endless longing. Empress Dowager, I will take my leave!”
With that, he walked out of the hall with a strong smile, leaving behind a lonely back.
Outside the hall, Jiang Li secretly admired his acting skills. It was indeed very good. It seemed that Sister Ji would be sad again.
But it's okay. I'll be back tonight. It's impossible for Mr. Li to leave.
At the entrance of the hall, Zhao Gao, who had been guarding the door for the whole night, saw Jiang Li coming out of the hall. He sized him up and said with a faint smile,""Uncle won't harm you. The Empress Dowager's beauty is peerless like a divine flower. Uncle doesn't believe that you won't like her!”
Jiang Li was too lazy to argue with his uncle. He ignored him and walked away.
Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Ji was really unlucky. Her number one confidant was loyal on the surface, but she was secretly one of the ultimate B00s. That was not the case at all.
Looking at Jiang Li's receding figure, Zhao Gao rolled his eyes and the smile on his face grew wider.
Obviously, in order to save his life, his nephew had no choice but to rely on Lady Zhao. After all, he was being held accountable later, and his goal was successfully achieved.
