Daqin Baizhisheng
Chapter 36
Bai Xiaosheng reached out to help him, and then he found that Ying Zheng's back was soaked with sweat, and the dark prince's clothes were soaked with a darker mark, looking very embarrassed.
After checking his pulse and breathing, he confirmed that he was just exhausted. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile:"This Huayang Queen Mother is a little partial."
Eunuch Gao picked up Ying Zheng and sent him to the back hall to rest. Before leaving, he thought again and again and said:"The Queen Mother is also a woman. How can she not love her grandson? It's just that the way is different from others... Last time, Prince Chengjiao fainted directly in the bedroom. In comparison, Prince Zheng is much luckier."
Is it lucky? Bai Xiaosheng doesn't think so. Ying Zheng has suffered a lot since he was a child. He doesn't have the delicate air of a prince's son, but the air of an emperor's noble is no less than that of Prince Chengjiao. Although his behavior was a little inappropriate at the banquet, the bloody aura from fighting with the wolf tribe, mixed with the pride in his bones, made all the civil and military officials look at him with awe. The fact that
Ying Zheng was able to walk out of Huayang Palace safely and insisted on finding Bai Xiaosheng before fainting was enough to show that he was stronger than Gongzi Chengjiao.
"Go ahead, don't let the Queen Mother wait any longer." After saying this, Eunuch Gao went straight to the back hall without looking back, leaving Bai Xiaosheng with a bitter smile, thinking about how to deal with the Queen Mother Huayang.
…………
A young palace maid with a cold look led Bai Xiaosheng into the Huayang Palace.
Yellow gauze, countless yellow gauze hung from the beams, floating a few inches above the ground, not stained by the dust on the ground.
Bai Xiaosheng was a little surprised and pushed aside the yellow gauze curtain in front of him.
He felt strange.
Unlike the solemn atmosphere of Xianyang Palace, the layout here looked like a young woman's boudoir, not a place where a grandmother should live.
Through the layers of gauze curtains, he saw a bright yellow bed, and there was an even brighter woman lying there.
The woman on the bed was wearing a dark long skirt, supporting her chin with one arm.
Her phoenix eyes were like pictures, but she exuded an overbearing temperament of a superior.
What a Queen Mother Huayang!
This was the first time Bai Xiaosheng had seen a female ruler. The ones he had seen before, such as the King of Zhao, the King of Chu, the King of Qi, etc., were all inferior to her. Like everyone else, Bai Xiaosheng was a little dumbfounded. Obviously, Prince Chu of Qin looked like a middle-aged uncle, but he did not expect that the Queen Mother Wang was so young.
The Queen Mother Huayang glanced at Bai Xiaosheng with appreciation, indifference, confusion... This glance contained too many things, and she said with her thin lips lightly touched with rouge:"Come here, please sit down."
She said sit, but in fact she just gave him a kneeling cushion. Bai Xiaosheng did not pretend, and just"sat down". Then he heard the Queen Mother Huayang say softly:"I heard that you are Zheng'er's teacher? It seems that you have taught Zheng'er very well."
Bai Xiaosheng said lightly:"Your Majesty, you are too kind. The teacher is attentive and the student is studious, so naturally the teaching will be successful."
"Oh?" Queen Mother Huayang asked again,"I heard that you are also a businessman, a businessman who dares to do business with kings and generals?"
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and said,"That's right, doing business in business and doing business in the court, isn't it interesting."
The two"doing business" in this sentence are also quite interesting. Queen Mother Huayang smiled lightly and a gentle atmosphere suddenly emerged. Although the princes of the seven countries looked down on businessmen, no one dared to offend them. Bai Xiaosheng was even more proud of being a businessman.
"How much did you receive from Zhao Ji, or how much did you receive from Lu Buwei?" The Queen Mother Huayang did not ask anything else, but was entangled in the word"money","No matter how much they paid, I will pay ten times on behalf of Cheng Jiao's grandson and hire you as a teacher."
It turned out that he was here to poach people. Bai Xiaosheng lowered his eyes slightly, and after concentrating his mind, he said:"I am afraid that I will disappoint the Queen Mother's kindness. Merchants have their own principles and pay attention to"integrity". Doing business pays more attention to first come first served. Since I have received this order, I will not go back on my word."
The Queen Mother Huayang's eyes lit up, and she was slightly surprised and said:"It seems that you are still a businessman with principles."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded:"Only a businessman with principles can do business all day long."
At this time, two or three palace maids brought incense burners and tea. The air was filled with fragrant air. Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath to calm the slight ripples in his heart and tried to keep himself as rational as possible. The
Queen Mother Huayang seemed to be lying stiff. She stood up with the help of the palace maids, put on a long-sleeved palace robe, and sat down in front of Bai Xiaosheng with a dignified posture.
The two looked at each other, drank tea and
"Luo Wang's two attempts to assassinate Ying Zheng were unsuccessful. Was it because of you?" She asked casually, her eyes half open and her peripheral vision fixed on the tea on the coffee table.
"It's not because of me, but because Luowang's killers are too bad. The highest they can do is just kill, which is too contemptuous."Bai Xiaosheng didn't look at her either, but followed her example, looking at her nose with his eyes and tea with his nose.
"You are quite arrogant. Next time, let the top killer play with you."
The Queen Mother Huayang said"play with you" out of the blue, which really scared Bai Xiaosheng.
He was not afraid of the top killer, but he was afraid of a group of top killers.
Imagine that everyone around you may be here to kill you.
If they can't scare you to death, they can annoy you to death.
He doesn't want to be the second Donghuang Taiyi.
There was silence in Huayang Palace.
The Queen Mother Huayang suddenly said:"If you want to continue to teach Ying Zheng, you must make him forget about the assassination!
"
Bai Xiaosheng slid his fingers and quietly retracted his sleeves with five fingers. It seemed like an ordinary action, but in fact he had touched the Spring and Autumn in his sleeves.
After a long silence, he gave up the idea of taking action and said lightly:"Don't worry, I will teach my students a good lesson."
"You are a really attentive teacher." The Queen Mother Huayang smiled, with a beautiful arc at the corner of her mouth, and seemed very satisfied with the tactful young man in front of her.
…………
"In fact, I really want to kill you."The slightly harmonious atmosphere just now was suddenly transformed into the wind and snow outside the northern border because of the cold words of the Queen Mother Huayang with a smile, covering everything in Huayang Palace. The yellow and white gauze curtains around also turned into white gauze as if they were stained by the wind and snow.
"I know you won't kill me. And you can't kill me either." Bai Xiaosheng still maintained his most gentle smile, looking confidently at a certain place in the palace. A woman with a strong murderous aura was standing there with a frosty face. With just one glance, Bai Xiaosheng could conclude that this woman was a member of Luowang, and a killer of the emperor.
