Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 51 Zhao Ji is angry
"Go back to the Queen Mother."

"I have been very busy recently, so I haven't come to visit the Queen Mother."

Xu Lin explained.

Zhao Ji snorted when she heard this and naturally didn't believe it.

Who in Xianyang doesn’t know that Xu Lin only works four hours a day?
you busy?

I'm afraid no one in the entire Shadow Secret Guard has it easier than you!

"How is the Queen Mother these days?"

Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and changed the subject.

Then he took a few steps forward and poured a bowl of cold tea.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Ji slowly raised her wrist, but who knew that Xu Lin did not pour tea for her. This made Zhao Ji so angry that her chest heaved violently!

After a few breaths, Zhao Ji suppressed her displeasure and coughed forcefully twice.

"Is the Queen Mother thirsty too?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile, squinting his eyes.

Then he poured a bowl of cold tea for Zhao Ji.

"Asking questions knowingly!"

Zhao Ji said angrily.

After she finished speaking, she opened the curtain, took the tea bowl, and took a sip of the cold tea.

At this moment, how could Zhao Ji still have any dignity as a queen mother?

If this was not Ganquan Palace, if someone saw this scene, they would definitely think that Zhao Ji was Madam Xu Lin.

After chatting for half an incense stick, Zhao Ji lifted the curtain, patted the phoenix couch a few times, and asked Xu Lin to sit over and talk.

Xu Lin readily agreed.

As soon as he sat down, Xu Lin smelled a familiar fragrance.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Zhao Ji became more graceful and charming than before.

"What does Mr. Xu think of Gai Nie?"

"I heard that not long ago, a disciple of the Zongheng School named Gai Nie moved into Zhangtai Palace."

"Is your name Gai Nie?"

Zhao Ji asked, blinking her eyes.

She was less than half a step away from Xu Lin, and her phoenix eyes were full of Xu Lin.

She has been dreaming about Xu Lin recently. The Xu Lin in her dreams is very rude, completely different from the Xu Lin now!
"His name is Gai Nie."

"But he is not a disciple of Guigu, but a successor of Guigu."

"The Queen Mother is actually interested in this?"

Xu Lin asked curiously.

"This matter concerns Zheng'er and the survival of the Qin Dynasty. As the Queen Mother, how can I not care?"

Zhao Ji gave Xu Lin a blank look.

It seemed as if in Xu Lin's eyes, she was just a stupid woman with big breasts and no brains!
She is the Queen Mother of Qin, okay?

"Gai Nie studied under Guiguzi and his swordsmanship is outstanding."

"Your Majesty is as perceptive as a firefly. I believe he will not make a mistake in judging people."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about that."

Xu Lin comforted.

Zhao Ji nodded and sat up on the phoenix couch.

Xu Lin was too close to her now, and it was inconvenient for her to look at him while lying on her side.

"Sir, what do you think of the eunuch Zhao Gao?"

"I've heard that Zhao Gao is very good at flattery. Zheng'er won't be influenced by him, right?"

Zhao Ji pulled up the brocade quilt embroidered with intricate patterns, covered her waist and abdomen with it, and asked in a deep voice.

She had met Zhao Gao several times and did not have a good impression of him.

"Zhao Gao liked to flatter, but he was not completely incompetent."

"I believe he is nothing more than a sword, or to put it bluntly, a dog of the king. If he obeys, you can use him; if he disobeys, you can kill him."

"As for whether the king will be affected by it, I don't think so."

"Because Your Majesty is surrounded by not only Zhao Gao but also me. What I hate most in my life is flattery."

Xu Lin smiled. Then he tilted his head back and drank the remaining herbal tea in the bowl.

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Lin's calm expression.

Ying Zheng had not yet been crowned, and she was afraid that Ying Zheng would be influenced by Zhao Gao, and would get used to hearing flattery and would not be able to listen to honest advice.

Now it seems that she was overthinking it!

"It's still early, sir, would you be willing to play chess with me?"

After a few breaths, Zhao Ji asked with her eyelashes curled.

There were not many ways to entertain yourself in this era, unlike in later generations, so Zhao Ji also liked chess very much.

Before meeting Xu Lin, Zhao Ji hated using her brain. After meeting Xu Lin, Zhao Ji discovered that it was not good to not use her brain all day long, as she would be easily deceived!
For example, a few days ago she heard Hongzao say that more than a month ago, Lu Buwei had thought of letting a man named Lao Ai enter the palace to serve him. Although it was said to be serving, in fact he was mostly using Lao Ai to control her. Later, for some unknown reason, Lu Buwei killed Lao Ai.

If it had happened in the past, Zhao Ji probably wouldn't have cared after learning about this.

But after she heard Hongzao talk about this a few days ago, she quickly thought that Lu Buwei wanted to use this to make her continue to be a pawn like he did a few years ago, and then control Ying Zheng.

Zhao Ji is not good at planning, but she is not a fool!

You want me to be a pawn?
impossible!
Only recently did Zhao Ji discover that Lu Buwei had been using her in the past few years, or in other words, he had been using her since more than 20 years ago!
What you said about not giving Zheng'er a crown is for Zheng'er's good, bullshit!

It's obvious that the old villain Lu Buwei doesn't want to give up power!

Zheng'er is well-read in the books of sages, and has the help of Xu Lin, Meng Yi and others in literature, and Meng Ao, Wang Jian and others in military affairs. How could he fail to govern the Qin Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's chest rose and fell violently with anger, which was quite spectacular.

Xu Lin looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Then he picked up the teapot and added some cold tea for Zhao Ji.

"What unhappy things are you thinking about again, Queen Mother?"

"If the Queen Mother trusts me, you can tell me."

"What I'm best at is analyzing and then comforting others."

Xu Lin smiled calmly and suggested.

“There are so many unhappy things!”

"If I were to tell you, I'm afraid it would take a whole day and a whole night to finish."

"Let's play chess."

Zhao Ji shook her head.

After finally meeting Xu Lin, she didn't want to always talk about business or unhappy things with Xu Lin.

"it is good."

Xu Lin nodded.

Then he sat cross-legged in front of the table.

Zhao Ji raised her white wrist, tied her hair into a high bun with a jade hairpin, and sat down opposite Xu Lin.

She doesn't like kneeling because it's too tiring.

She felt tired even sitting sideways, so she would often rest her wrists on the table.

Although Xu Lin rarely flattered her, his words made her feel like spring breeze and very comfortable.

Chatting with Xu Lin made Zhao Ji feel that time passed very quickly.

No matter what you talk about with Xu Lin, Xu Lin can talk about it, and he can talk about it very interestingly. How can Zhao Ji not be happy?
When she thought of this, Zhao Ji frowned slightly and looked at Xu Lin.

Xu Lin and Ying Zheng are of similar age and build.

It’s just that Ying Zheng talks less and is colder, while Xu Lin talks more and is more gentle.

Because Ying Zheng rarely came to Ganquan Palace after he ascended the throne, Zhao Ji sometimes had the illusion that Xu Lin was her son.

She is more than ten years older than Xu Lin and is indeed old enough to be Xu Lin's mother, but she doesn't want to be Xu Lin's mother!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji smiled gracefully, and when placing the chess pieces, she deliberately put her hand on Xu Lin's hand.

Xu Lin didn't mind it, and when Zhao Ji took the chess piece, he deliberately put his hand on Zhao Ji's hand.

Xu Lin doesn't like to suffer losses, so he must take advantage of it!

"When do you plan to get married, sir?"

Seeing that Xu Lin was even more excessive than her, Zhao Ji pretended to be angry and asked.

She is the queen mother, and only she can take advantage of Xu Lin. How dare this kid Xu Lin take advantage of her? He is so bold!
Do you believe that if I get angry, I will strip you naked, hang you up and beat you?

"In a few years."

Xu Lin said without hesitation.

He said it with a serious face, as if he was not lustful and had no interest in women.

Zhao Ji was displeased when she saw Xu Lin pretending to be serious, and then she stepped on Xu Lin's right foot.

Why are you pretending to be a gentleman in front of me?
Who doesn't know that you, Xu Lin, are lustful and that there are so many beautiful women in your house?
