"Then you sleep a little longer, I'll be back soon." Zhao Zheng's dark pupils were filled with soft luster when he spoke. He was used to seeing him look cold or high-spirited. Seeing him like this now, Zhao Gao looked at him. His heartbeat was actually a little faster.
"Are you going out like this?" Zhao Gao spoke very softly, fearing that he would accidentally disturb the rare beauty in front of him.
Zhao Zhengpo raised his chin in an unofficial manner, leaned over and whispered: "I don't want people to see the teacher's seductive look, so I have to go out and have someone help me wash up."
At this time, Zhao Gao only had a black undershirt on his body, with slightly messy black hair hanging down his back. There was a faint smell of laziness between his eyebrows, a touch of bright color that had not faded on his lips, and a happy look in the corners of his eyes. The lingering feelings afterwards. Looking at this scene, Zhao Zheng felt that he had no intention of attending the court meeting, and he didn't want to let people look at him in vain.
"Your Majesty, help me up. This is a rare opportunity, so let me help you." Zhao Gao said and wanted to sit up, but the burning pain in that part of his body made him break out in a cold sweat.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng supported him nervously: "Your body..."
Zhao Gao shook his head, his clear eyes full of persistence: "I'm not a woman, how can I be so delicate? I just want to help the king suddenly, but I'm afraid I won't have such a chance in the future, so let me do it."
Although he felt distressed, seeing Zhao Gao's insistence, Zhao Zheng couldn't bear to refuse and asked him to wait. He went to wash up with cold water first, then came over and carefully helped him up, and stuffed a few soft cushions into his chest. Then he sat in front of the bed and tried his best to adjust the height that would save him the most effort, and let him tie his hair.
In fact, Zhao Zheng can also pull up his hair in a bun. He usually takes care of it himself when he goes out, but this time it will be more troublesome. Even if he doesn't like to be served closely, this has to be done by someone.
I remember that when he was a child, his hair was broken up after a fight with Zhao Qian and it was Zhao Gao who combed his hair, but this time the meaning was completely different, and both of them felt a little emotional.
Zhao Zheng's hair was black and shiny. Zhao Gao felt very smooth when he held it in his hands. When he felt good, he combed it with great concentration.
With nimble fingers, he quickly separated Zhao Zheng's front hair from the middle, then braided a dark braid from both sides of the forehead to the back, braided a moderately thick braid from the neck up, and then tied all the hair together. Get up and put it on your head. Then fasten the nine crowns, and finally insert a slender gold hairpin to fix it, and this is completely completed.
In fact, despite how easy it is now, the biggest headache for him when he first came here was his hair. Later, the pattern was simple. For many years, I only used a hairpin to hold it casually. Privately, she is even more casual. She only uses a white band to tie up the thick layer of hair above her ears, leaving the rest of her hair loose. Later, when he became an official in the court and had to go to court from time to time, he could no longer be so perfunctory, so he learned from his mother, so when he was holding Zhao Zheng's hand, his hand was not obvious.
The slender fingers were intertwined in his hair, and Zhao Zheng felt a little numb and itchy. If the cold fingers accidentally touched his forehead, he would be distracted for a while.
"Is this good?" Zhao Zheng felt that such a peaceful and leisurely time passed too quickly. At this time, he turned his head and looked at him, obviously still having some unfinished thoughts.
Zhao Gao nodded and did not lower his arm immediately. Instead, he used this opportunity to touch the slightly swaying beads on Jiuzhao's crown. He then casually picked up a bunch and rubbed it slowly in his hand. He joked quietly: "It is indeed King Mu Mu Qin. Women admire it.”
Zhao Zheng raised his chin naughtily, approached him condescendingly, looked into his eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't need the admiration of others, a beauty is enough."
When Zhao Gao heard the word "beauty", he loosened his grip on the skewers and said with disgust, "It's time for the king to preside over the court meeting."
Zhao Zheng settled him down and took a few steps. He heard a sentence from behind, "It's troublesome, but I'll put on that armor from now on." He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and it took him a while to think of a "hmm" response.
If anyone pays attention, he will find that no matter how he walks, the strings on his crown are always neat and tidy, but now they are shaking messily due to his stopped movements. One can imagine how excited Zhao Zheng was after getting his wish.
After he left, Zhao Gao was in low spirits and fell asleep again.
"I heard that the king was assassinated, and I was very worried. Now I see that my lord is in good health. I am very lucky." Wang Wan, the prime minister on the right, went out to greet the ministers on behalf of the ministers.
Zhao Zheng's expression was solemn, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry for your concern, I'm very kind. However, the teacher suffered several personal injuries to protect me, which really makes me feel guilty." When Zhao Gao was mentioned, Zhao Zheng looked very worried.
Wei Liao and Zhang Cang heard that something had happened yesterday and hurried to Zhao Gao's house to have a look. They learned that the palace had left a message. Zhao Gao was left in the palace and was not sent back. They didn't know what his condition was now. Hearing Zhao Zheng say this made him even more anxious.
The other ministers all sighed when they heard this. Some people were very envious when they heard that Zhao Gao was placed in the king's bedroom at this time, and that the king took care of everything personally. And since he has served the Lord well, it will not be a problem to be given a title and an official position later. But thinking about Zhao Gao now being ranked as the Ninth Minister and moving up, I'm afraid...
Many people's eyes fell on San Gong who was at the forefront. There are currently four people in the position of the three princes, Prime Minister Wang Wan on the right, Prime Minister Feng Quji on the left, Yushi doctor Feng Jie, and Guo Wei Liao. I don’t know if they will... Of course, they may also be promoted to nobility, but I don’t know if they will be given one. What. Thinking of this, many people began to wonder whether they should go to Zhao Gao's house to send some congratulatory gifts to show their appreciation.
Seeing that the king was in a bad mood, they guessed it was because of the assassination. He praised Zhao Gao a few words and then shut up wisely.
Now the Qin State is ready to attack. As soon as the cold winter is over, a large-scale army will be launched in the spring. Because they knew this, the kings and ministers of the various countries panicked and thought of ways to assassinate him. So this assassination is just the beginning, not the end.
Anyone who is good at observing people knows that the king is not in the mood for the court meeting today. Except for the assassin, there is no big deal. He does not dare to bother him with trivial matters in his own official office. The court meeting ends very quickly.
Zhao Zheng was eager to get away early, so he hurried back to see Zhao Gao sleeping deeply and dared to disturb him. He ordered the chief cook to cook the porridge first, changed his clothes, and carried Fang Xiaoan nearby to keep watch. I will comment later.
With Zhao Gao by his side, he was just doing the same things as usual, and Zhao Zheng also felt at ease. In all the years since he returned to Qin, it was the first time that this palace truly felt like home.
After finishing the review of the last volume of memorials on the small case, Zhao Zheng raised his head and wanted to relax his muscles and bones, but found that Zhao Gao had woken up at some point and had been staring at him so calmly.
Zhao Zheng put down the pen in his hand, walked over in surprise and asked, "When did you wake up?"
"It's been a while. I see that you are doing it seriously. You just watch and pass the time when there is nothing to do. Hmm... It's too uncomfortable to lie down like this all the time. Your Majesty, please lean on me." Zhao Gao put his hands behind his back and tried to sit up.
Zhao Zheng asked him to wait and went out to ask Shen Yu to bring the day food. Then he returned to the couch and sat down. He adjusted his posture and put one hand around his waist to help him up so that he could lean on his back effortlessly. on his chest.
Seeing him holding up the copper gui and intending to feed it to himself, Zhao Gao always felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply took it from his hand and did it himself. But when he got closer and smelled the smell, he suddenly frowned and asked in a dumbfounded voice, "Do you think I need to eat this?"
Zhao Zheng leaned his back against him and couldn't see his expression. He was completely confused and asked strangely: "I have used it just now. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Mutton porridge warms and strengthens the kidney yang and can cure weakness. Don't you know, Your Majesty?" After Huan recovered, he was given mutton porridge, and it was hard not to get upset. Zhao Gao turned back to look at him, with an expression on his face that said "So you should study more", which made Zhao Zheng feel very guilty.
Just now, Zhao Zheng told Shen Yu that Zhao Gao's complexion and energy were not good, and asked her to ask Shan Zai to make some tonic food. Unexpectedly...
Although the meaning in it is a bit hard to say, it is made from thoroughly steamed mutton, chopped into fine pieces, added with an appropriate amount of ginseng, white poria, astragalus, and jujube fine powder, mixed with japonica rice and a little salt, and it is very delicious. Put in the effort and it tastes pretty good.
Looking at him, he really didn't know. Zhao Gao didn't say anything and ate it all without changing his expression.
After eating, he handed the copper gui to Zhao Zheng and put it back. Zhao Gao said seriously: "Although we are together now, we still need to make some things clear."
Zhao Zheng got an advantage and naturally expressed his attitude quickly: "Xiao Gao, I understand all your concerns. Even if we are like this, there will not be many opportunities to meet in the future, but as long as I know your thoughts, my heart will become clear. I will be measured."
At the time of employing people, if there were any bad rumors between them that affected Zhao Zheng's reputation, it would probably chill the hearts of all the ministers. You know, if the arrow is on the string, if there is a slight mistake, everything may be lost.
This is the foundation of the Qin State for hundreds of years. It was obtained with the hard work and lives of countless former monarchs and subjects. They cannot afford to waste it, let alone have the qualification to waste it.
Zhao Gao still feels scared when he thinks about Lu Sheng's incident. Fortunately, no bigger trouble happened, otherwise he would have been responsible for his death.
But having said that, one of the reasons that made Zhao Gao figure it out was this.
There are no major events in the DPRK during this period. It would be better if they could sort out their feelings in advance. Otherwise, once action starts, the war alone will take at least several years. After that, it will take several more years to stabilize the chaos. I don’t know when it will end. .
From Zhao Gao's point of view, Zhao Zheng had always lived a lonely life. No matter how hard he struggled in front of others, he would still show worry about gains and losses in front of him, which he couldn't bear to see.
If the assassin really succeeds at that time, thinking about how little he can take away in this life, it is not good to be so depressed. You have to give him some hope, at least let him know that he has someone to rely on.
Of course, the biggest reason for this was Zhao Gao's own selfishness. When the child expressed his feelings to him, he really couldn't help himself.
"Well, I believe you." Zhao Gao nodded and said softly.
Zhao Gao and Zhao Zheng didn't do anything special the whole day, they just enjoyed the hard-won alone time.
While Zhao Zhengruo was reviewing the memorials, Zhao Gao would read some idle books and help him grind ink and give him water when he was free.
When you're tired, it's like leaning on each other side by side and talking for a while in Langhuan Pavilion when you were a child. When you're sleepy, you cuddle up and sleep for a while.
Just because things that seem very ordinary to others are very luxurious to them.
However, although "simplicity is hard-won for them" sounds heavy, the most difficult thing in this life is actually simplicity. 166 reading network
