Chapter 12
The maid was lively,
The guard was respectful,
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Song had just been unshackled,
He was afraid that he would really think that these were his family members when he was in Southern Chu. After bathing and grooming, he put on a long-sleeved white robe,
He put on a purple-gold crown, a flawless jade, and soft deerskin boots... when he looked again,
He was like a fine young master who had walked out of a painting.
Qin Song finally had the chance to look at his current appearance in the mirror,
He couldn't help but frown slightly,
He didn't know if it was because the so-called "Godly Doctor"'s medicine was too magical, or if it was for some other reason,
The wound on his face had long healed, leaving only a light pink mark the size of a fingertip. Looking at Little Peach's amazed look when she applied the medicine on him every day, it was probably this scar,
It was also constantly fading and shrinking.
He couldn't make an issue out of it anymore.
Walking out of the room,
Qin Song realized that the courtyard that the King Of Qin used to imprison him was extremely exquisite. When he was imprisoned,
The willow branches had just sprouted tender shoots.
Now, it was full of green,
Showing off her graceful figure.
"Young Master,"
The maid saw that his footsteps were a little unsteady,
She said respectfully, "His Majesty asked us servants to prepare a palanquin for you..."
Qin Song shook his head and refused. Anyone who had been forced to lie down for more than ten days like him would not have the intention to be lazy again. They would definitely move more if they could.
Thus, the maid ordered someone to lead the way in front. She followed half a step behind Qin Song with her hands down.
Qin Song still didn't know the name of the maid. When she read to him previously, she had always been unwilling to speak much, and her attitude was a little arrogant. Qin Song thought that her arrogance was because she could read. Now that he thought about it, this should be someone close to Qin Yue.
Along the way, he saw peach blossoms, Li Bai, and apricot blossoms, and endless beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, the place where Qin Yue held the banquet was too close. Before he could enjoy himself, he arrived at the place.
The reason was that Qin Yue had called him here. Perhaps he wanted to humiliate him and let him attend the banquet with Yi An and Qiu Yun, or perhaps because his injuries had healed and it was time to come out to meet people to dispel the "rumors" that "Qin Song Gongzi was tortured by the King of Qin because he swore to die". But when he arrived at the place, he was stunned. The banquet was sumptuous, with singing and dancing, but Qin Yue was alone................................................................................
. His suspicions had just arisen when he saw Qin Yue beckoning him with a smile and said, "Qin Song, come quickly. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Unexpectedly, he acted as if they were close friends.
Although he did not know what Qin Yue was planning, since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Qin Song stepped forward and took his seat.
Qin Yue clapped his hands, and the music and dancing started.
Qin Yue said, "These past few days, I have been busy with government affairs, so I have not been able to visit you. I wonder if Qin Song has recovered? How have you been these past few days? Have the servants been neglecting you? Qin Song is my honored guest. If there is any inconvenience, feel free to speak frankly. Please do not regard me as an outsider. "
Qin Song smiled and said, "Thank you very much." He did not say anything else.
After not seeing him for a few days, Qin Yue's expression was much more peaceful than before. The hostility on his body was almost completely swept away. Qin Song's heart trembled. There were many monarchs in this world who were willing to accept remonstrances. However, he had never heard of a monarch who would reflect on his actions just because of a few words from a prisoner.
Qin Yue said, "Looking at Qin Song's rosy complexion, you must have been well nourished. Come, let me offer you a toast. "
Qin Song said his thanks again and raised his cup to drink it in one gulp. However, as soon as the muddy yellow wine entered his throat, he could not help but cough loudly.
The youth coughed until he couldn't catch his breath. His cheeks were flushed red from the choking, and his eyes were faintly glistening with tears. It was truly … Qin Yue's breathing paused for a moment before he got up and sat beside the youth. He patted his back to soothe his breathing and said, "It is this Humble One's fault. The Great Qin's wine is truly too strong for your Southern Chu … Someone, change …"
"No need," Qin Song finally managed to catch his breath and said, "I'll take this!"
A strong resentment rose in his heart. Damn, I've never drunk such bad wine in my life. It's as light as water, and the taste is so strange … but at least it still has a little taste of wine. If it was something even lighter, I might as well drink water!
Qin Yue advised, "Qin Song, you don't have to force yourself."
Qin Song finally reacted. He and Qin Yue were really too close at this moment. In particular, Qin Yue's hand was still on his back. It looked like he was half-hugging him, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable. Thus, he moved sideways a little and waited for Qin Yue to tactfully move back.
Qin Yue seemed to not understand his meaning at all. He sat up straight and occupied the space that Qin Song had vacated. He sighed and said, "Qin Song can even choke when drinking wine. I can only be more at ease if I sit with you … it is also convenient to talk this way."
Qin Song said, "Your Majesty, please do as you wish."
They were only sitting at the same table. Arguing with him would be disadvantageous.
He no longer paid attention to Qin Yue. With one hand holding the pot and the other holding the cup, he began to drink by himself. His gaze fell on the young girl dancing in front of the court. His fingers lightly tapped the side of the cup, silently tapping to the beat of the music. He seemed to really think of himself as an honored guest of the Qin Palace. What a leisurely and contented appearance.
Qin Yue was surprised for a moment and then recovered. He began to chat occasionally. Then, the casualness on his face was gradually replaced by seriousness.
This young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He was famous for his Qin Song and sword dance. Although Qin Yue was attracted by his temperament and knew that he was quite intelligent, he did not think that he was very knowledgeable and talented. However, after chatting for a while, he was inexplicably surprised and disdainful of the Southern Chu. In the eyes of the Southern Chu people, such a knowledgeable and far-sighted person, they only saw his Qin Song and sword dance. Moreover, they sent him to Daqin with such an inferior status. It was ironic.
He poured another cup for the young man and said with a smile, "Did you enjoy Qin Song to your heart's content today?"
Qin Song was a good wine. He did not refuse anyone. He drank it all in one gulp and sighed, "The tea is muddy and the wine is light. The song is mediocre and the dance is clumsy … It's just passable!"
Qin Yue choked. He originally wanted to use this as an excuse to recruit the young man. He did not expect to receive such an evaluation. He could not help but feel annoyed. He had forgotten that when it came to drinking and having fun, Daqin could not compare to Southern Chu. Moreover, this young man was one of the best among them. Just look at his Qin Song Gongzi title.
Qin Song sighed and said, "The tea and wine are easy. If Your Majesty lets me go, I can let Your Majesty taste good wine and fragrant tea in less than three days. But the song and dance …"
He was slightly drunk at the moment. He stood up shakily and said, "The dancers I saw floated back to the light snow, sending the beautiful dragon to the startle. The willow behind the small drooping hand is powerless. The clouds want to be born when the bamboo leaves slanted. "
Qin Yue did not take it seriously. When he was about to praise his poem, he saw that Qin Song's momentum suddenly changed. His whole body seemed to become light and ethereal. His every movement had a wonderful rhythm. He casually raised his right arm, his long sleeves fluttering lightly. He casually spun, brushed, twisted … Qin Yue finally understood why this young man was famous for his dancing.
"Floated back to the light snow, sending the beautiful dragon to the startle. The willow behind the small drooping hand is powerless. The clouds want to be born when the bamboo leaves slanted … "He originally thought that the poem was too exaggerated, but now he felt that there was no other way to describe its beauty.
Qin Yue had not come back to his senses yet, but Qin Song had already sat down and sighed, "The singers I saw relied on their beauty to calm their spirit. They were able to blend their mood and mood. When resting, the mood does not change. Don't think too much … "
After shaking his head and sighing, he raised his cup and drank.
Qin Yue's heart was itching unbearably. He said, "Since the singing and dancing are not pleasing to the eyes, I wonder if I would be fortunate …"
Qin Song said indifferently, "I remember that Your Majesty invited me to attend the banquet, not to attend the banquet!"
Qin Yue choked. He was used to being rebuffed in front of Qin Song. After being reminded several times, he did not feel offended. He regretfully shook his head and let it go. Just as he was about to invite him out for a walk, he heard someone report that the Prime Minister had arrived.
Qin Yue frowned slightly, but he still ordered someone to invite him in. Qin Song stood up. "His Majesty has government affairs to attend to. I will take my leave now."
Qin Yue grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back to sit down. He said, "There's no harm in listening."
Qin Song did not say anything else.
As Qin Yue expected, the Prime Minister, Taishu Zhi, had come over for the matter of Lu Zijin.
The Daqin advocated military force, and its methods had always been simple and forceful. Previously, when its territory was small and the political situation was stable, it was not a big problem to act this way. But now that its territory had expanded by more than three times, there were frequent disturbances everywhere, and there were endless troubles. These Daqin officials seemed to have trouble dealing with them.
When Qin Yue saw this situation, he boldly used the Liang person, Lu Zijin, and used him more and more. However, this caused the local powers to be dissatisfied. No matter what, they would nitpick and impeach him. The Prime Minister, Taishu Zhi, was one of the most forceful.
Taishu Zhi had come because of the recruitment hall that Lu Zijin had been ordered to build in the Qin capital. He said that not only did it cost a lot of money and food, the people who were recruited were either thieves or mediocre people who came to cheat food and drink. In the past few months, not a single serious talent had been found. Instead, the entire capital was in a foul atmosphere.
He gave many examples in a row to illustrate the harm of this group of people.
Qin Yue was also somewhat hesitant. He subconsciously felt that building a recruitment hall to recruit people from all over was a good thing. But what Taishu Zhi said was also true. The recruitment hall had been built for a few months, but there were no results. Instead, it was harmful. If this continued …
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the youth beside him drinking wine with his head tilted back. He had a thought and asked, "Qin Song, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Qin Song shook his head. "I don't know."
Taishu Zhi frowned. "Your Majesty, the important matters of the imperial court are not to be joked around with …"
Qin Yue waved his hand to interrupt him. He said to Qin Song, "I know what you hate the most. If you give me a satisfactory answer today, I will promise you that I will not force you on this matter. How about it?"
Although Qin Yue was lustful, he did not think that he would lose his mind because of it. He had always been very clear when it came to pleasure and business. But when it came to Qin Song, he was faintly losing control. On one hand, he appreciated and even cherished the youth in front of him, but on the other hand, he was increasingly unable to control his desire for him.
He would give the youth a chance. If he was worthy, he would no longer regard him as a plaything on the couch. He would be willing to restrain himself a little. Although the youth moved his heart, he was Qin Yue. The one thing he did not lack the most was beauties.
Qin Song was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he recited, "In the ancient times, there was a person who used a thousand gold to seek a thousand miles horse …"
Taishu Zhi impatiently interrupted, "What nonsense is this!"
Qin Song acted as if he did not hear and continued to recite. He was famous for his Qin Song. His voice was naturally very pleasant to listen to. It was clear, clean, and intoxicating. Even when he was reciting, there seemed to be a lingering sound that lingered in the air.
"… 'Buying a dead horse for five hundred gold, what about a living horse? The world must have a king as the best horse, and the horse has arrived today! 'Thus, it cannot be expected that a thousand miles horse will arrive in three. "
After Qin Song finished speaking, Qin Yue and Taishu Zhi were silent for a long time. After looking at each other, Taishu Zhi said, "But all of the people who came today are mediocre. We can't really put them to good use, right?"
Qin Song laughed lightly. "You have to ask me this. Are you the prime minister or am I the prime minister? Do you want me to help you send them to Southern Chu to participate in the imperial examinations? "
Taishu Zhi was so angry that his beard stood up. "You! Bastard! "
