The two of them looked very serious at the moment, and it was hard to tell that they were talking about feelings.

Zhao Jun sat upright with his hands on his knees, coughed twice and began to speak.

"First, let me tell you a few reasons why I don't want to be the queen."

"My king, please don't be angry and listen to me first."

"First and foremost, I cannot accept the ladies in your harem. If I were to find a husband in the future, with my current abilities and status, I should be able to find someone who only loves me and listens to me."

"Which woman in this world would want to share her husband with others? So you definitely don't have an advantage in this regard, right?"

She speaks completely the truth and gives specific analysis.

"But I don't like those ladies."

Ying Zheng interrupted with a frown.

"Yes, I know. Don't be impatient. Wait until I finish explaining each point before you refute it."

"Now for the second question. If I become queen, will I still be as free as I am now? You should know me well. My abilities and ideals are just as I told the king at the beginning, which is to build an empire."

"The Qin State has just been established and there are still many follow-up issues. I won't be able to stay in Xianyang permanently in the future. I may be away for most of the year. Do you think you can accept such a free and easy queen?"

"And thirdly, I don't want to have children. This is my principle. No matter who I marry in the future, I will never have children. Can you accept this?"

"Combining the above reasons, I don't want to be the queen. In fact, it's pretty good to stay the way I am now, right? Why does your Majesty have to have me as your wife, right?"

At the end, Zhao Jun made some jokes, just because he didn't want the atmosphere to be so heavy.

Ying Zheng was silent, he was also thinking.

Ying Zheng already understood the second point she raised.

It was indeed impossible for her to immerse herself in the palace like an ordinary woman. This would be a loss for both her and the Qin State.

All the words that Ying Zheng wanted to refute before were paused.

He simply asked after a moment.

"Putting aside these reasons for now, how do you feel about me?"

Ying Zheng had never known what love was, and he had never had any feelings for his former wives.

Only after so many years of getting along with Zhao Jun did he develop this idea.

He admired Zhao Jun from the beginning, and now he feels that they are a good match.

This is the person who is qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with me.

The King of Zhao did not evade Ying Zheng's questions.

"Of course I have feelings for the King. I admire, appreciate and like the King."

"It's just that these likes are bound by those few reasons."

"Like the king, we are all the ones who love ourselves the most."

She is the same as Ying Zheng in this respect.

They all love themselves the most and are not willing to hurt themselves for a little bit of love.

"I see."

Ying Zheng nodded, having already made a decision in his mind.

"So, at the ceremony in a few days, your position will be the same as Prime Minister, on the same level as Li Si."

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter should be made clear, so let's keep it as it is.

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, the King of Zhao quickly took his leave and fled the palace.

Zhao Jun returned to the palace alone, holding his pounding heart.

The situation just now was so dangerous and exciting.

Fortunately, he was in a good mood today, and they had a good relationship now.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that Ying Zheng would get angry and take it away by force.

but.

"well."

Zhao Jun sighed again, feeling a little lonely.

Actually, Ying Zheng is a really good person.

He is not chauvinistic at all and respects her very much. They have the same ideas.

She herself still had some interest in Ying Zheng.

But there was no way, he had so many wives in his harem, and he didn't want to be a mistress.

More importantly, she still loves freedom.

Forget it, everything has been made clear, so let it be.

She still didn't go near Ying Zheng these days to avoid embarrassment.

In the next few days, Zhao Jun either hid in his own palace or wandered around the Nei Shi Mansion and the university.

Ying Zheng has been busy these days. After all, the grand ceremony will be held in a few days, and he has to make decisions on many things.

After hiding for a few days, Zhao Jun of course had to attend the day of the title-conferring ceremony.

Today is a big event for the entire Qin State.

Not only her, but also Qingliu, Xiao He and other people who were to be rewarded came, as well as various civil and military officials and royal relatives.

The scene was very grand, and at a glance, it was full of people.

When Ying Zheng walked out wearing the layered black imperial robe with dragon patterns, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Ying Zheng was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a serious expression. He looked awe-inspiring even from a distance.

After that, there was a long series of rituals and sacrifices performed by Zong Zheng.

It was not until Ying Zheng shouted that he would be the first emperor that everyone present knelt down.

Zhao Jun lowered his head and said silently, he could be considered as witnessing history.

After all the ceremonies were over, everyone went to the Qilin Hall, and then came the rewarding ceremony that the officials had been looking forward to.

Many military generals who had made contributions in these years were generously rewarded, while the corresponding number of civil officials was slightly less, but they still existed.

Qingliu and Xiao He had already been informed by Zhao Jun before, so their expressions were relatively calm.

Even so, Qingliu was still very excited.

This is the Nei Shi, one of the Nine Ministers.

But this was not the most shocking thing. When the king rewarded Zhao Jun as prime minister, the scene was almost exploding.
