'There's something...something wrong with them. '
Looking at Xu Qingshan and Mrs. Huayang, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.
The two of them don't seem to be as indifferent to each other as they appear.
Moreover, not only did it not seem like they were in trouble, she was even vaguely sure that the relationship between them was very strange.
Just like long-lost friends, they say hello casually and very naturally.
'It shouldn't be~'
In the three years since she returned to Qin, all she heard and seen was Qingshan and Mrs. Huayang not dealing with her. During the three years, Qingshan had not even seen Mrs. Huayang.
Every time he entered the palace, he would only run to Zi Chu.
At this moment, no matter what Zhao Ji guessed in her heart, she could not figure out why their meeting unfolded like this.
'Could it be that there were other stories between them before I returned to China? '
But this isn’t right either.
She had also inquired before, but there was no other news at all except that they didn't deal with each other.
This also made her think that the situation between these two people had been established for a long time.
'Wait a moment! '
As if a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, Zhao Ji thought of something.
Qingshan was very sure that the Queen Mother came to see him, which meant that he was very familiar with the Queen Mother.
That was not his intuition at all.
…
"You have changed a lot over the years."
Looking at Xu Qingshan, Mrs. Huayang slowly spoke.
The man in front of him is no longer the bad guy who followed him back then.
Rather, the one who was so powerful in both the government and the public was... Mr. Wu An.
Internally, it can stabilize the country and stabilize the dynasty, and externally, it can open up borders and shake up the six countries.
Would he really know how to do something deviant?
'Well, to be precise, it has been done. '
Listening to Huayang Fu Rao's voice, Xu Qingshan silently corrected himself.
As for his current relationship with Zhao Ji, he is not deviant from the norm, and he is afraid that if people find out about it, they will be drowned in spit.
But the problem is not big. What the world thinks is none of his business.
Moreover, it is impossible for them to know, so there is no need to worry at all.
The entire palace, inside and outside, can be filled with people of your own.
After all, even his cheap cousin Qin Wangzheng is one of his own.
By then, even if something happened between him and Zhao Ji, it would just be an incident.
Xu Qingshan: "People always have to grow up, don't they?"
Facing Mr. Huayang's gaze, Xu Qingshan asked with a smile.
The person he is now is not the person he was before.
Recalling the dusty memories deep in his memory, the corners of Xu Qingshan's mouth curved upwards.
Although the intrusion into the system is perfect, each age period is embedded using himself as a template. What he has to do is to act as myself.
However, before he entered, 'himself' had no system.
Even if the system adds a lot of blessings to 'itself', compared with plug-ins like the system, it is still incomparable.
"You are right, people will grow up after all."
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Huayang nodded silently.
'It seems that this bastard still hasn't given up on that idea~'
From Xu Qingshan's eyes and tone, she understood some information that only she understood, or information that was specially conveyed to her.
For so many years, I avoided meeting him just to prevent the two of them from making mistakes.
She knows well not to overestimate human nature, nor to think too highly of herself. People are weak in controlling their desires.
I don't have the ability to face temptation without being tempted.
So in the end, she chose to stay away from temptation, not seeing or contacting him for many years.
Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be working.
Zhao Ji may have become his target.
And she herself was confused because of this, and was afraid of persisting for so many years.
'This stinky guy really gives me a headache~'
Ying Zheng: 'I remember that my father once let it slip that my grandmother once took care of my brother. It seems... my father did let it slip. '
Although he had only returned home for three years, he knew the Qin State and all the forces in the court very well.
In the palace, the Mishi clan, headed by their grandmother, Mrs. Huayang, holds a certain amount of power.
The grandmother, Mrs. Huayang, never gave birth to a son or a daughter.
Now that I think about it, the reason why my brother and my grandmother became so unresponsive to each other, and even had the attitude of never having any contact with each other, is that something must have happened during that time.
My father once reminded me not to ask my grandmother. It must be the pain that my grandmother doesn't want to face and doesn't want to be mentioned.
After a short period of observation, Ying Zheng instantly connected the previously ignored information in his mind, and for a moment he felt a little enlightened.
………
"Mother, don't just stand there, there is a place over here.
There are also pastries and tea, which Zheng'er and I like. You can try them. "
After a moment of silence, Zhao Ji broke the silence.
Although there were many doubts in her heart at this time, she restrained them easily.
Because she knew that after this exchange, there were some things he wanted to know, and it was only a matter of time.
Ying Zheng: 'I... like it? '
At this moment, he was a little helpless.
He seemed, no, he was definitely seeing this high point for the first time, and his mother had said this to him countless times.
'This expression, don't worry, no wonder some macho men like boys. '
Looking at the appearance of his cheap cousin, Xu Qingshan couldn't help but joked with heartache.
But fortunately, he had no idea in this regard, otherwise his cousin would be in danger.
At this time, Ying Zheng still didn't know that he had inadvertently escaped a very terrifying thing.
"Um."
While Ying Zheng and Xu Qingshan were thinking about it, Mrs. Huayang accepted Zhao Ji's 'invitation', knelt down slowly, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.
"Hmm~"
Just by being spoken to, her taste buds reported a very honest message that she liked the taste very much.
Squint your eyes and enjoy it carefully.
As the woman with the highest status in the Qin Palace, Mrs. Huayang has eaten countless delicacies, but this pastry has caught her taste buds.
"Mother, how does it taste?"
Looking at Mrs. Huayang, Zhao Ji asked the same question that she had asked Xu Qingshan not long ago.
But looking at the performance, Zhao Ji felt that the evaluation should not be bad.
She still believes in her own taste.
"The texture is crispy and the sweetness is just right... I quite like it."
Facing Zhao Ji's gaze, Mrs. Huayang replied with a smile.
It's unadulterated and sincere, and she really likes it.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be stunned.
A pair of charming and agile eyes blinked involuntarily.
'Her answer... was exactly the same as Qingshan's. '
Looking at Mrs. Huayang, she seemed to see the shadow of Qingshan overlapping hers.
Is this a coincidence?
But, it's too much of a coincidence.
"Why, is my evaluation not so good?"
