Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 261 The Mature Woman Mingzhu Who Insists on Being Full

"Pearl?"

Xu Lin's brows furrowed slightly.

Then they had Yingge bring Mingzhu in.

Soon, Mingzhu, dressed in white mourning clothes, came to Xu Lin's side.

After Yingge walked away, Mingzhu closed the doors and windows, and swayed her hips as she walked towards Xu Lin.

Then he slowly untied the belt around his waist.

Beneath the white mourning clothes was a black ribbon as thin as a cicada's wing, tightly binding the area.

This can't really be considered clothing; it's something Xu Lin casually mentioned to her when they were in Xinzheng.

He does not mean that.

"Does the gentleman like it?"

Mingzhu leaned forward and placed her hand on the back of Xu Lin's head.

She really liked the feeling of suffocation, and she believed Xu Lin probably liked it too.

With this thought in mind, Mingzhu made Xu Lin bury his entire face in the heavy fruit.

After a long while, Mingzhu finally let go.

"Han An just died, and you come here to see me."

"Aren't you afraid this will get out?"

Xu Lin asked with a smile.

"I wasn't afraid when he was alive, so why would I be afraid now?"

Mingzhu gave a cold, elegant smile.

Then he sat down on the soft couch.

"Han Fei has already moved out, and Honglian also wants to move out. The only people still living in the Han residence are Han Yun, Hu Meiren, and others."

"As the saying goes, one should not wash one's dirty linen in public. Even if Han Yun knew about this, would he dare to spread it?"

Mingzhu asked in a clear and melodious voice.

After she finished speaking, she placed her hand on Xu Lin's leg.

Xu Lin nodded and lay down comfortably on the soft couch.

Then he uses his hand as a pillow, indicating that he prefers to be passive.

"I know!"

"That is why I am wearing this!"

Mingzhu's phoenix eyes sparkled as she adjusted the black shoulder strap.

She launched her attack as soon as she finished speaking.

……

More than half an hour later.

Blood stained the brocade quilt.

"It doesn't matter."

The mature and elegant Mingzhu disagreed with this.

She was not a pampered person, so she was not afraid of bleeding!

"When masters clash, they stop when they've made their move."

"That's all for today."

Seeing that Mingzhu showed no sign of stopping, Xu Lin spoke up.

He doesn't like 'bloody battles'.

Upon hearing this, Mingzhu had no choice but to back down.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xu Lin let Mingzhu lie in his arms.

"Do you want to leave the Han residence?"

Xu Lin gently stroked Mingzhu's back and asked.

"I'm fine anywhere."

Mingzhu answered, resting her head on Xu Lin's arm.

"Then let's stay at the Han residence for now."

"Sometimes distance can actually create beauty."

Xu Lin said gently.

"it is good."

Mingzhu readily agreed.

After saying that, she lifted her jade-like leg and placed it on Xu Lin's lap.

Instead of responding to each move, Xu Lin took out the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill from his storage space and put it into Mingzhu's mouth.

Bai Yifei and Han An are both dead, and Mingzhu's body and soul have already belonged to him, so he can give Mingzhu the antidote!
Mingzhu swept her hair to one side and swallowed the antidote that Xu Lin had put in her mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Xu Lin asked.

Mingzhu nodded slightly, then moved down a little.

She's not full yet!

……

Three days later.

King Jian of Qi arrived in Xianyang.

Upon learning of this, Ying Zheng, along with Xu Lin, Xiong Qi, and others, personally went out of the city to welcome them.

Upon seeing Ying Zheng come out of the city to greet him, King Jian of Qi was overjoyed. He then alighted from his carriage and went to the Qin palace with Ying Zheng and others. King Jian of Qi personally went to Xianyang for the sake of the State of Qi.

He didn't want Qi to end up like Han had before him!
Although the relationship between Qin and Qi had always been good, King Jian of Qi's personal trip to Xianyang was still considered a risk to his life!
After entering the study, Ying Zheng had King Jian of Qi sit to his right.

The Qin state held the right side in high esteem, which shows how much Ying Zheng valued King Jian of Qi.

Xu Lin then sat down to Ying Zheng's left.

After serving the wine and dishes, Ying Zheng waved his sleeves to dismiss those around him, leaving only King Jian of Qi, Xu Lin, Lord Changping Xiong Qi, Li Si, and others.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, King Jian of Qi explained his purpose.

Qin and Qi have always been allies, but Qi is far from Qin, and he doesn't want Qi to become the next Han.

"In my eyes, the State of Qi has always been an ally, not an enemy."

Ying Zheng said loudly.

King Jian of Qi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The two sides had a pleasant conversation because Qin pursued a policy of "befriending distant states and attacking nearby ones," and Qin would not use force against Qi before the states of Zhao and Chu were destroyed!
After several rounds of drinks, a slightly tipsy King Jian of Qi couldn't help but burp, and then, supported by his eunuchs, left the Qin Palace.

After King Qi Jian left, Xu Lin, Xiong Qi, and the others left the study one after another.

Qin is not going to use its military force against Qi at the moment, so there's nothing to discuss about this.

The cold wind is like a knife. At this time, it's time to light the stove, crawl into bed, and embrace three or five beautiful wives and concubines, sleeping together under the covers!

Unfortunately, Jing Ni, Li Ji, Li Wu, and the others were all very resistant to this, so Xu Lin could only go to Jing Ni's room first, then Li Ji's room, then Li Wu's room, and finally Yan Ling Ji's room.

……

Five days later.

December has arrived.

The cement road that Gongshu Chou was in charge of was finally repaired.

Upon learning of this, Zhao Ji, dressed in a deep red phoenix robe, immediately left Ganquan Palace with Hongzao.

seeing is believing!
She wanted to know just how different cement roads were from dirt roads!

To avoid being recognized, Zhao Ji threw the phoenix robe into the carriage and changed into the clothes that Hongzao usually wore.

Then he removed all the priceless hairpins and jewelry.

Although Zhao Ji was about the same height as Hongzao, she weighed nearly 20 jin more. Therefore, Hongzao's long robe was very tight on Zhao Ji.

"Have I gained weight again?"

Zhao Ji's phoenix eyes were tightly furrowed.

"No."

"This garment is too tight; it's too tight for me too."

"Why don't you submit..."

Hongzao shook her head and began to help Zhao Ji adjust her clothes.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhao Ji.

"That's it."

"Anyway, I won't be staying outside for long."

Zhao Ji said.

Then, like the little girl not far away, she quickly walked towards the cement road.

Red dates followed closely behind.

The cement road was not only smooth but also sturdy, which Zhao Ji liked very much.

If it's a dirt road, you need to watch where you're going all the time, otherwise you might trip over stones or other obstacles.

"As expected of Mr. Xu's invention."

After drinking half a cup of tea, Zhao Ji sighed.

After speaking, she boarded the carriage.

Red Dates drove the carriage at a steady pace, which made Zhao Ji raise her eyebrows slightly.

"Queen Mother."

"Shall we go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence?"

"The cement road has been built all the way to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. It probably won't take more than half a pillar's distance to get there from here..."

Red Date asked.

She was interrupted again before she could finish speaking.

What are we going to the Imperial Preceptor's residence for?

"Don't go!"

Zhao Ji answered without hesitation.

Although Xu Lin performed well in the cement matter, she is the Empress Dowager, so how can she be allowed to take the initiative all the time?
I can reward you for the cement incident, but you'll have to go to Ganquan Palace to collect your reward yourself!

Seeing this, Hongzao hesitated to speak.

Then he took Zhao Ji for a leisurely stroll around Xianyang.

Because the cement road was smooth and not as bumpy as the dirt road, Zhao Ji was in a good mood.

However, Zhao Ji never asked Hongzao to stop when they passed by the Imperial Preceptor's residence several times.

There was another reason why Zhao Ji didn't go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence: she was the Empress Dowager, and Xu Lin was the Imperial Preceptor.

If she openly gets close to Xu Lin, how will Zheng'er and Xu Lin get along in the future?

Zheng'er is the master of the Net, and the Shadow Guards are only responsible to Zheng'er. Therefore, it is impossible for Zheng'er not to know about her affair with Xu Lin.

Zheng'er knew that this didn't mean she could act recklessly with Xu Lin, so it was best not to go to the Imperial Preceptor's residence!
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji lowered the carriage curtain, took off her coat, crossed her plump right leg over her left, took out the 'Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic' that Xu Lin had given her a few days ago, and stared intently at the contents of the book.

Xu Lin knew that Zhao Ji preferred illustrations to text, so he gave her a copy of the "Huangdi Neijing" with very few words and mostly illustrations.
