Chapter 206 I will also go
Qin Imperial Palace.
Because her sister said that the Qin emperor might be a little strange and asked her to come and take a look, Xiaoqing has been monitoring the Qin emperor for the past few days and observing her every word and action.
Just as my sister said, the King of Qin was indeed a woman.
But it must be said that this Qin emperor was indeed very handsome.
In Xiaoqing's eyes, her sister is the most beautiful woman in the world.
But when she saw him today, she found that the Qin emperor was as good as her sister.
However, unlike her sister's gentle and elegant appearance, this empress of Qin had a heroic air between her eyebrows.
In addition, the King of Qin, named Qin Siyao, has extremely sophisticated political skills and acts decisively.
Although she is young, her prestige in the court is extremely high, and many old officials in the court are terrified of her.
But this is not incomprehensible.
After all, she often wore armor and went into battle, expanding a lot of territory for the Qin State.
The Qin State was able to achieve what it has today entirely due to her rule.
The prestige established through merit is the most solid.
But my sister said that King Qin has embarked on the path of cultivation, and his level is not low.
But Xiaoqing felt that from her observations over the past few days, the Queen of Qin was actually only at the seventh level of Qi training. Like most emperors in the world, she was simply unable to build a foundation.
As for my sister saying that her target might be the Zhou Kingdom, it seems that this is not the case at all.
The relationship between Qin and Yan is indeed not very good now, and Qin is also thinking about how to deal with Yan.
However, Qin had no idea about Zhou. Xiaoqing heard that what they talked about in the morning court was that after annexing Yan, they would take a short break and then expand eastwards and westwards.
Xiaoqing guessed that it might be because Zhou Guo had defected to the Wanjian Sect, so they did not dare to act for the time being.
Xiaoqing hadn't heard Qin Siyao mention the word "Xiao Mo" in the past few days, and it was even less likely that she was going after Brother Xiao.
"Sister must be overthinking it."
After several days of surveillance, Xiaoqing came to this conclusion.
Xiaoqing felt that there was no need for her to continue monitoring the King of Qin, so she could go and report to her sister.
However, before leaving, Xiaoqing planned to test the King of Qin again.
That morning, Qin Siyao returned to the harem after attending the morning court and sat in the courtyard painting a landscape in ink.
Xiaoqing took out a pocket-sized flying sword as long as an embroidery needle from her storage bag.
"go!"
With a flick of his fingertips, the pocket flying sword stabbed towards Qin Siyao's head.
Although there is a magic circle in the Qin Dynasty's palace to protect the safety of the king, with Xiaoqing's strength at the immortal level and this semi-immortal magic sword, it is not too easy to assassinate such a monarch. It will not even attract the attention of the palace's magic circle.
The pocket flying sword was getting closer and closer to Qin Siyao.
Just when the pocket flying sword was about to pierce Qin Siyao's head, it suddenly stopped and did not move forward an inch.
Qin Siyao continued to paint as if nothing had happened.
Xiaoqing put away her flying sword and felt completely relieved.
I just released some aura on purpose, and even some murderous intent.
If the other party is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he can feel the presence of himself and the flying sword.
But the other party seemed to know nothing.
Xiaoqing turned around and walked out of the Qin Palace.
However, not long after Xiaoqing left, the King of Qin turned his head and looked into the distance.
That was the direction Xiaoqing left.
The corner of the King of Qin's mouth curled up slightly, and then he withdrew his gaze, as if he knew nothing, and continued to sketch on the scroll stroke by stroke.
After the King of Qin finished painting the landscape, she carefully sketched a man beside a stream in the painting.
It took a full hour before the painting was finally completed.
"His Majesty."
Just as Qin Siyao put down her ink brush, a personal female official stepped forward and bowed.
"Yeah." Qin Siyao nodded. "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and others have submitted several more memorials." The female official said slowly.
"What is it?"
Qin Siyao looked at her own paintings carefully, and became more and more satisfied the more she looked.
As Qin Siyao's personal female official, unless it was some secret memorial, this woman named Hua Qiong could read it once and understand the memorial before giving it to His Majesty.
"It's about your Majesty taking a concubine," Hua Xiong said truthfully. "The Prime Minister and his men have submitted a petition, hoping that Your Majesty will take one as soon as possible. The harem cannot be without a mistress for a single day, and neither can the Qin State be without a queen. Your Majesty, would you like to review it?"
"Hehehe." Qin Siyao smiled lightly, "No need, don't tell me such memorials in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Huaxiong nodded.
"By the way, Huaxiong, come and take a look at my painting." Qin Siyao called to the female official beside her.
"That servant is so bold."
Huaxiong walked forward and looked at His Majesty's scroll.
"Your Majesty is well versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially in ink painting. In my opinion, only Dean Shang of Bailu Academy can compete with Your Majesty." Hua Qiong was not flattering, but really thought so.
"Hehehe, it looks good, right? He taught me that." Qin Siyao raised the corners of her mouth.
"he"
Huaxiong thought it was "him" again.
As a personal female official, Hua Qiong knew that her Majesty was a woman, and she also knew that her Majesty knew many things, and even knew that her Majesty could practice cultivation.
But I don’t know who the “he” that His Majesty keeps mentioning is.
Hua Qiong looked at the scroll again and noticed that beside a stream in the painting, there was a man in a green shirt with his hands behind his back looking at the stream.
"Is the man in the painting the 'he' Your Majesty mentioned?"
It’s a pity that I can’t see his face.
"Huaxiong." Qin Siyao shouted.
"Your Majesty." Huaxiong nodded.
"How's your progress on finding out about the Zhou Kingdom?" Qin Siyao asked.
Hua Qiong was stunned and looked around worriedly.
"Don't worry, that woman is gone. Just tell me what you want to say." Qin Siyao shook her head.
As early as when Xiaoqing just entered the palace, Qin Siyao sent a message to Huaxiong, asking her not to mention the Zhou Kingdom and her own cultivation.
"Your Majesty, the Zhou Kingdom is celebrating a great event," Hua Xiong said truthfully. "I heard that the King of Zhou is planning to marry the daughter of the Zhou Yan family as his empress, and the entire court is busy with this matter."
"Oh? Getting married?" Qin Siyao's lips curled up as she stared at the man in the painting. "This is indeed a great joyous event. The late emperor had some dealings with the Zhou Kingdom before, so I should congratulate him as well."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Talk to Lord Yang, the Minister of Rites, and have him prepare gifts for the mission to Zhou."
Qin Siyao reached out and gently stroked the man in the painting.
"Besides, I will also go with you."
