Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 132 Zhao Ji's brows furrowed tightly
"If you like beautiful women, I have no objection."

"But you are a blessing to our Great Qin, sir, so please take care of your health."

Ying Zheng said loudly.

"A ruler is long, an inch is short."

"Your Majesty need not worry about me; it is the young ladies who should take care of their health."

Xu Lin smiled indifferently.

Then he bowed and retreated.

……

Three days later.

The news spread that Ying Zheng wanted to build an academy in Xianyang.

After learning of this, Yanfei went to the outskirts of the city with Yue Shen.

Although it rained a few days ago, many people in the suburbs are still using high-speed water pumps to fetch water.

"Is there anything he can't do?"

Yan Fei looked at the high-speed waterwheel and couldn't hide her admiration.

"Could it be that my sister has fallen for Mr. Xu?"

The Moon Goddess smiled dignifiedly and teased.

"Don't you think Mr. Xu is a genius of unparalleled talent?"

Yan Fei asked in return, her face expressionless.

She simply admired and respected Xu Lin.

Xu Lin possesses extraordinary talent, a fact known to all!

Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess hesitated to speak.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the Meng Mansion.

"It is said that the king wants to build an academy in Xianyang as well."

"Sister, would you be willing to enter the academy and bring glory to our Yin-Yang School...?"

The Moon Goddess asked.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yan Fei.

"Not interested in."

Yan Fei refused immediately.

"If you're interested, you can go."

Yan Fei said.

She was only interested in Yin-Yang techniques and Xu Lin, but had no interest in the Yin-Yang school of thought, and even less wanted to debate with the various schools of thought on this matter!

"I'm not interested either."

The Moon Goddess shook her head.

……

That night.

Xu Lin went to Ganquan Palace right after finishing his meal.

When he arrived at Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ji was taking a nap.

Zhao Ji usually had nothing to do except play chess with Hongzao and sleep.

"Sir, the Empress Dowager is asleep, I'll go..."

The red date's thin lips slightly opened.

"Need not!"

Xu Lin immediately raised his hand to stop him.

Then he pushed open the door and entered Zhao Ji's bedroom sideways.

After witnessing this scene, Hongzao hesitated to speak.

Although the sun had set, the temperature was still very high, so many ice chests were placed in Zhao Ji's palace.

Zhao Ji was lying on her side on the phoenix couch, wrapped in a brocade quilt, sleeping soundly.

"Take these ice chests away."

After feeling the coolness, Xu Lin said.

"it is good."

Hongzao nodded.

Then they took all the ice chests away.

……

After half a stick of incense.

Zhao Ji, wrapped in a brocade quilt, was awakened by the heat.

When Zhao Ji opened her phoenix eyes and saw Xu Lin, she was taken aback.

Xu Lin was standing in front of the wardrobe with his hands behind his back, seemingly picking out clothes for her.

"when did you come?"

Why did no one report this?

Zhao Ji lifted the brocade quilt, wiping her sweat with straw paper as she asked.

"I just arrived."

"It was my fault for not letting Hongzao report it."

Xu Lin answered.

After speaking, he took a dark purple lace nightgown from the wardrobe and handed it to Zhao Ji.

This nightgown is so short that it barely covers my buttocks.

"Where is the ice chest?"

Zhao Ji placed her nightgown beside the pillow and blinked her phoenix eyes as she asked.

She's dying from the heat!
She's someone who hates the heat!

"I had the red dates moved away."

Xu Lin replied with a smile.

Then he handed Zhao Ji a bowl of tea.

As soon as she took a sip, a hint of displeasure appeared in Zhao Ji's phoenix eyes.

Because Xu Lin gave her hot tea, not cold tea.

"Do you want me to die of heat?"

Zhao Ji pretended to be angry.

Her uneven breathing caused her chest to rise and fall.

Her neck and forehead were covered in sweat, which she couldn't wipe away completely.

The constant flow of sweat caused Zhao Ji's beautiful hair to clung to her chest in wisps, adding to her allure. "The Empress Dowager is the mother of the nation; how can she be slandered without cause?"

Xu Lin joked with a smile.

After saying this, he sat down on the phoenix couch.

"You still know that I am the mother of the nation?"

Zhao Ji, her face burning red, glared fiercely at Xu Lin.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

"I had Hongzao move the ice chest for the Empress Dowager's own good."

Xu Lin gently stroked Zhao Ji's knee and explained.

"I don't believe it!"

Zhao Ji snorted coldly.

"When have I ever lied to the Empress Dowager?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

Then, Zhao Ji was made to change into a dark purple nightgown.

The dark purple nightgown was not only short but also very tight, and it took Zhao Ji about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to put it on.

It has a distinct shape and well-defined contours!
"Does it look good?"

Zhao Ji asked as she pulled her skirt down.

The skirt was too short; she had never worn a nightgown like this before, not even in her memory.

Xu Lin nodded, then boiled a kettle of water.

What are you boiling water for?

Zhao Ji looked in the direction of the sound and asked, puzzled.

She had given up wiping away the sweat because there was simply no way to wipe it all away.

"Does Your Majesty still remember the other path I mentioned before?"

Xu Lin turned to look at Zhao Ji, who was covered in sweat, and asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji, whose face was already flushed, blushed even more.

"Where is the road?"

Half an hour later, Zhao Ji asked.

There were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walked on them, roads appeared.

Xu Lindao.

……

Less than half an hour later.

Seeing Zhao Ji's tightly furrowed brows and lips almost bleeding from biting them, Xu Lin chose to give up.

"Hurry is not enough."

"These things can't be rushed."

Xu Lin said gently.

He is not someone who doesn't know how to cherish women!

"it is good."

Zhao Ji nodded.

She looked as if she had just taken a bath.

After a few breaths, Zhao Ji, unable to hide her exhaustion, lay back down on the phoenix bed.

She was hot and tired, and could hardly breathe.

"Is the Empress Dowager tired?"

Xu Lin deliberately provoked him.

"Who said I'm tired?"

Zhao Ji retorted stubbornly.

Before Xu Lin could reply, she turned to the side and began to 'eat heartily'.

……

Ten days later.

The news that Ying Zheng wanted to build an academy in Xianyang spread to the six states of Shandong.

Upon learning of this, the Taoist Tianzong immediately dispatched people to Xianyang in the Qin state.

The head of the Tianzong sect, Chisongzi, heard that after the Xianyang Academy is completed, monthly and annual competitions will be held.

The top three winners of the monthly competition will have their books printed for free by the Qin State Association: 1,000 copies for the first place, 600 copies for the second place, and 300 copies for the third place.

The top three finishers in the annual competition not only receive money, but can also fill vacancies and become officials in the Qin state.

Although Ying Zheng had never been interested in Confucianism, Xunzi, upon learning of this, still sent many Confucian disciples to Xianyang.

With the assistance of the Qin state, Confucianism will forever remain the most prominent school of thought in the world!

Upon learning of this, the leader of the Mohist school and the head of the School of Names also sent people to Xianyang.

……

Daze Township.

After learning of this, Farmer Tian Guang also wanted to send his disciples to Xianyang.

But just as he had chosen his candidate, he received a letter from Changping Jun.

In his letter, Changping Jun said that the Farmer School should not send disciples to Xianyang, because a tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind. The Farmer School should keep a low profile and watch from the sidelines, while the Confucian, Mohist, and Taoist schools move forward.

After reading it, Tian Guang frowned deeply, dismissed his attendants, and handed the letter to Tian Hu and the others.

"The Heroic Leader".

"I think Xiong Qi just doesn't want to..."

After reading it, Tian Hu was furious.

But before he could finish speaking, Tian Guang interrupted him.

"Without Lord Changping's assistance, how could my farming family be where we are today?"

Tian Guang reprimanded him.

Although he did not understand why Lord Changping did not allow the peasants to send people to Qin, he would not call Xiong Qi by his name directly because of this.

Because Changping Jun has been secretly supporting farmers in recent years!

……

That night.

The stronghold of the Yin-Yang School was located in the northern suburbs of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin state.

Just as Yanfei was about to rest, she suddenly received a letter from Donghuang Taiyi.

Seeing that there was no problem with the inkpad, Yanfei dismissed everyone around her, tore open the envelope, and stared intently at the contents of the letter.
