Chronicles of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 37 36. Hibernating Beast
Qin Shi waited until noon before coming to see the King of Qin.

She was going to offer delicious food. If she came too early, the emperor would have finished eating and would probably not have much appetite. If she came too late, it would inevitably affect dinner.

Now Ka arrived at Zhangtai Palace before 11 o'clock, and Zhou Ju came to greet him with a particularly deep smile on his face.

She hadn't brought any cooking dishes—the journey from Lanchi to Zhangtai would take half an hour without a galloping horse. So she said to Zhou Ju, "I'll ask Your Majesty to taste two of my dishes. If you like them, I can have the Shaofu forge another iron wok."

Zhou Ju paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Shi again with a meaningful expression: "Qin Qing, Your Majesty is rich throughout the world. What in this world is not yours?"

The smile on Qin Shi's face slowly faded, and he bowed to Zhou Ju: "Thank you for the reminder."

She was too proud of the king's reward.

He took two steps back, his smile returning to his face. "Mr. Zhou, I'd like to invite the king to try two stir-fried dishes. If you find them appetizing, I'll present you with a newly cast iron wok."

Zhou Ju was confused for a moment, then he was amused by her reaction of "going to reverse what she just said". He shook his head and said: "Qin Qing, there is no need to be so reserved. The king will not blame you."

Qin Shi knew.

But the king will not blame her, and whether she should do it or not is another matter.

At this moment, he accepted Zhou Ju's kindness and said, "I also brought the table and chairs I usually use. I don't know if the king likes them, but it is also a token of my appreciation."

The king loves it best.

Otherwise, she couldn't sit high on the chair while the king knelt low on the table.

She was eagerly looking forward to it, and even when she entered Zhangtai Palace, the emotions in her eyes were as clear as a spring.

Ji Heng put down the bamboo slips and keenly noticed that the other party's eyes were staring at him again. Fortunately, it was fleeting and he didn't feel offended.

So he jokingly asked, "Do the ten beauties I gave you yesterday win Qin Qing's favor?"

When Qin Shi mentioned this, he thought of the gifted Li Jiu. He looked up at Ji Heng and asked seriously, "Were those 10 beauties specially selected by the king?"

Ji Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "I only ordered that you select those with beautiful fingers and palms and beautiful muscles."

The rest was naturally up to the Minister of the Imperial Household to do as he pleased. Although he felt that he had done the right thing, he still needed to show some concern when he heard that Qin Shi had not enjoyed it.

Qin Shi bowed openly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your thoughtfulness! I have never seen a ruler like you! Your Majesty is so sincere and kind to others. You must be a sage ruler unparalleled throughout the ages!"

End the chaotic dynasty and root the belief in great unification in everyone's soul.

Although this unified monarch from another time and space was not the same person as the one she remembered, their achievements and policies were basically the same.

She truly admired him and was sincerely grateful for his tolerance, so she expressed herself with particular sincerity.

Seeing this, Ji Heng couldn't help but relax his expression.

A Saint King who will never appear in the ages...

I am just like this!

As for "genuine sincerity"... when dealing with people with great talents, he should naturally show love and respect to them.

He put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at the other party with a smile: "Do you have any treasures to offer today?"

Zhou Ju was beside Ji Heng and couldn't help but look at Qin Shi with mixed emotions.

I don't know whether the other party is really natural and unrestrained, or is just smart.

Every word, every action, every expression and every thought can sincerely make the king happy!

You know, the six kingdoms were destroyed by the king, and he has never been an easy monarch to deal with.

Qin Qing has such ability, no matter what she does, the king will love and tolerate her. Her previous reminder was really superfluous and unnecessary. Qin Shi didn't know Zhou Ju's complicated thoughts, she just tried her best to recommend the table and chairs to the king -

Nowadays, the seats of the Hu people have not developed to this level, so she can promote it openly. The most sincere passage is:
"Your Majesty, the entire Xianyang Palace is so vast and magnificent, and the halls and pavilions of the Zhangtai Palace are so tall and wide. With such a grand space, it's not beautiful to always kneel and sit in a small group. Would you like to try sitting?"

"This way, Your Majesty's back will be supported, and the bamboo slips can be placed on the table without you having to hold them or bend your head. This will also be beneficial to Your Majesty's health."

She had raised so many banners, but in the end it was just for her own little lifestyle habits, so she smiled sheepishly after she finished speaking: "It would be wonderful if Your Majesty was in good health and lived a long and prosperous life."

After these words were spoken, the entire Zhangtai Palace fell silent again.

Zhou Ju quietly looked at Ji Heng who had an unpredictable expression on his face.

The smile on the other person's cheek slowly faded, and he fell into deep thought.

His heart couldn't help but beat wildly: he had just praised Qin Qing for being able to make the king happy, but now after hearing what the other party said, he couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.

What does it mean to be a king who lives a hundred years? Shouldn't it be a king who lives a thousand years?
The king sought immortality, but even named the island he built in Lan Chi Penglai!

If we hadn't been able to take care of it now, and if Qin Qing hadn't said that cinnabar and lead were extremely poisonous, I don't know how many alchemists we would have gathered now.

He was feeling uneasy, and Ji Heng's long eyes looked down quietly.

However, Qin Shi did not notice that his words were unusual, but continued to look at him warmly and earnestly.

Candles were still burning in Zhangtai Palace during the day, and the gauze curtains on all sides were blowing the faint cool air from the ice mirror. She was still wearing her strange clothes, with a bunch of thick black hair tied into a bun at the back of her head, looking like a teenager.

At this moment, he was standing at the steps with ease, and even the sincerity and confusion in his eyes seemed unpolished.

In her eyes, these insignificant so-called tables and chairs were like extremely serious matters.

Ji Heng then slowly relaxed his frown and said calmly, "Do you think it would be good for me to live a hundred years?"

Qin Shi nodded naturally: "The king is so good to me, I naturally want to stay by his side for a long time."

It’s true that it’s not easy to find a honest boss nowadays, but they don’t care about their lives, so the employees can be more picky.

Now, we can only rely on fate.

Then, the tolerant king nodded again and said casually, "In that case, let's try the table and chairs you mentioned."

Zhou Ju, standing beside him, almost let out a sigh, but then held it back. Slowly and slowly, he finally let go of his worry.

Qin Qing, ah Qin Qing!
How could this always make the king happy? It was clearly holding their lives in thrall, pulling all sorts of strings!

It is said that serving a king is like serving a tiger. With Qin Qing here, it is not like serving a tiger, it is like serving a king on the edge of a cliff!

Ji Heng stood up.

It was as if a dormant beast suddenly opened its invincible body.

His tall, muscular figure cast a deep, dangerous shadow against the candlelight, seemingly pulling at the tall, spacious halls of Zhangtai Palace, causing Qin Shi to sigh softly.

Apart from athletes on the basketball court, she had never seen anyone with such a figure in daily life.

Even the wide robe can't hide his muscular body. He looks really healthy and strong!
She couldn't help but follow with envious eyes.

The palace servants quickly removed the table and placed tables and chairs.

Here we go! The update time is still not guaranteed to be fixed, the default is 12 o'clock in the evening.

Hour: Love all healthy bodies!

A healthy body is everything! The king looks like he can fight well...
