It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 518: Conspiracy, Top-notch Green Tea

Finally, we arrived. We saw the black and red silk ribbon hanging in a huge space, the moonlight pouring down from the hollow space, the reflections from the gold and silver utensils flowing, the wind blowing, the silk cloth fluttering, shimmering like water.

Xu Zhi said, "It's already late at night, and there is a constant stream of guests outside the Sanchuan County Magistrate's Mansion. There are no fewer guests, and there are many more people than before."

"Five years ago, the Xianyang magistrate issued a new order. If there are weddings or funerals, they can be registered with the government in advance and the curfew can be postponed for one hour."

"five years ago?"

Meng Yi paused when she asked, "Your Highness, you forgot. You said that the wedding should not be too dull or depressing, and should be prepared for a happy event."

Xu Zhi was puzzled. "Really? I can't quite remember. What happened next?"

Meng Yi said, "Later, you asked the musicians to accompany you on your journey, and the sound of drums and flutes continued for three days. The people of Qi thought that there was some great joy in our dynasty, and they even sent envoys to us."

The seven countries have been fighting each other for nearly a hundred years, and princesses marrying into other countries usually have bad results. This kind of wedding, which is purely for political reasons, is no different from a diplomatic alliance, and must be solemn and serious.

However, the powerful Qin State was also asked to marry its princess to form an alliance, which inevitably made people think that Qin was afraid of Chu.

At that time, the King of Chu was over 30 years old, and Ying Hehua was only 16 years old. For her, it was not a happy event.

She just waved her hands and said, "Of course this is a happy event." She raised her eyebrows again and said with a smile, "Not only did the Chu State fail to make its plan, they didn't even have time to change the King of Chu before the country was destroyed."

Meng Yi thought, she was so forgetful that she had forgotten how she was almost crushed to death in Bolingsha.

"Meng Tingwei." This was the voice of the Li Mansion's housekeeper.

Meng Yi glanced at her and said, "The urgency of Chu's demise is due to the great blessing of Your Highness the Princess."

Ying Hehua's dark eyes were filled with a smug smile. "I don't have such good luck. If anything, it should be General Wang Jian's credit. It's also true that my father and I cooperated well."

It was exactly what he thought. Ying Hehua was definitely not the kind of person who would sit back and wait for opportunities. How could she obediently marry the King of Chu?

Meng Yi was too lazy to talk to her, "Your Majesty the Emperor and the princess are related by blood, and this will surely be a groundbreaking event."

She smiled, "Sometimes I feel that Lord Meng and General Meng are quite different. If it were General Meng Tian, ​​he would definitely not be able to perfunctorily answer me with such words. No wonder father made you a close minister and sent your brother to station troops outside the Great Wall."

"..."

Just as Meng Yi reached the gate of Li Xian's house, her voice came faintly from beside him, "If Lord Meng and I cooperate properly, it will surely be an unprecedented achievement."

Meng Yi looked at the plaque. He was not here to cooperate with her.

The rules and regulations that Li Si left behind when he was the Minister of Justice were so strict that they were shockingly strict, especially when it came to crimes committed by officials. The slightest violation would result in the death penalty.

If Ying Zheng had not spoken, it would be a miracle that Li Xian was still alive given his frequency of committing crimes.

Li Si approached him privately and asked him to thoroughly investigate what Princess Yong'an had done in Chu.

Meng Yi knew that Fusu took the blame for the book burning for her, so Ying Hehua's words were not very credible.

What exactly did she want to do, and the truth behind Li Xian's blindness, he must find out tonight.

The lively atmosphere next door seemed to be blocked here.

The attendant in Li Xian's mansion saw Meng Yi and said, "Sir, this is..."

Xu Zhi took off her veil, and the attendant immediately choked up, "...Please wait a moment, I will go and fetch you, my lord."

Li Xian's residence was just across the street from Li You's. Xu Zhi brought Meng Yi with him, so this time he could only go through the back door.

Before she stepped into the door, a general's voice came from not far away.

"This is the best wedding banquet. Princess Yong'an is right. It's so nice to have a joyful atmosphere. After the change, it's not as dull as before."

Yang Duanhe was supported by someone and vaguely saw something on the side. "Meng Yi's carriage. How come he is also at the banquet? Why can't I see him?"

Li Xin shook his head, "Hush. The Meng family has always been at odds with Prime Minister Li's family."

"What's the disagreement?" What Yang Duanhe remembered was that when they attacked Zhao, Wang Jian was the commander-in-chief, and Meng Tian and Li You were in the same army, and they were quite harmonious.

"How could there be none? Maybe... he and his brother really have a grudge against each other for stealing his wife. It would be strange if Meng Yi could come." Yang Duanhe paused and waved his hands in the air. "That's not something we can talk about. Hahaha, I don't know what those people are plotting all day long. Now we have nothing to do." There was inevitably a bit of idleness and loneliness in his laughter.

Li Xin also fell silent and changed the subject, "I thought Li You was a civil official and couldn't compare to us. I didn't expect the wine that Prime Minister Li sent was quite strong."

When Meng Yi heard what had happened before, he was stunned. They did not know the details of the marriage agreement and always spoke in a military style. They were worried that Li Xin, this reckless man, would say something without thinking and offend Ying Hehua.

She didn't mention it, and smiled, "Both generals are so drunk. Li Siding took out the distilled liquor."

"Distilled spirits? What does this have to do with alcohol?"

"I think Li Xian has some here too. You can have a couple of glasses later."

As he spoke, the light in the south study was already lit.

The attendants around him retreated voluntarily.

This was the first time Meng Yi saw Li Xian like this.

Although it was night, he still had a silk ribbon covering his eyes, a long cloth hanging down in front of him, a lantern in his hand, and a thin pole of medium length in his left hand. He took off his official robes and his long sword, which had lost a lot of its edge.

Surrounded by bamboo forest, the light is dim.

He knew she was coming.

"Why did the princess leave the palace?" He asked calmly with a helpless smile.

"I'll tell you later." Ying Hehua said, and placed the strange-looking red-painted wooden box in his hand on the stone table.

Then she took two steps very naturally and took the cane from his hand. "You finally listened to me this time. Martial arts should be used where the blade is the best. If you have nothing to do, you should cultivate yourself and don't do anything that wastes your energy."

"I will obey the princess' request."

What did he say? Be obedient? ... He really gave in to Ying Hehua.

After Li Xian returned to Xianyang, the door of his residence was tightly closed. It was not until this moment, when Meng Yi saw it with his own eyes, that he believed that he was really blind.

"You sit down first." She held the bottom of the bamboo stick.

Meng Yi was thinking that the layout of the stone pillars in this mansion was strange. Why were there four sitting desks next to the same round table?

The next moment, Li Xian was guided by Ying Hehua to sit next to him.

Meng Yi turned around to speak, only to see Ying Hehua making a hushing gesture.

He came for questioning according to the law, and the officials who were supposed to record his words and deeds were kept outside. Meng Yi had endured it again and again.

Then, Ying Hehua brought a pot of wine and placed it on the table. Then she actually sat down at the round stone table in front of the table.

They ignored all etiquette, faced each other, and acted as equals. How could this be?!
He was horrified and wanted to stand up immediately, but soon he received an oppressive look.

Ying Hehua spoke to Li Xian again, smiling the whole time and speaking in a very gentle tone, as if she didn't even exist.

Now Meng Yi knew that Li Xian's eye injury was real, but the degradation of his perception to what he showed was too fake.

There was only one reason why he made this gesture - to win Ying Hehua's favor.

Meng Yi suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.

The behavior of being humble and submissive, the attitude of being humble and submissive.

This is exactly the same as when Li Si ran to Ying Zheng and pleaded for his senior brother.

No wonder Li Si said his second son was most like him.

After all, Ying Hehua is ambitious, so why should he risk his entire life on it?
Meng Yi was confused and curious about why he had such a self-degrading colleague, and in the end he could only remain speechless.
