...

In recent days, the civil and military officials and emperors in the court were all surprised. The Marquis of Qinghe, who never took the initiative to come to court on weekdays, has been actively participating in the court's political discussions for several consecutive days.

Although he hardly spoke, he listened very seriously. Occasionally, the emperor would ask questions when encountering some difficult questions. Qinghe Hou was always able to solve them with some seemingly outspoken answers.

Chen Xu was also very depressed. After observing for several days, it seemed that Li Si would come to the court early every day as usual, with a calm expression as before, and no difference from usual.

"Could Li Si discover my despicable means..."

On the fifth day, Chen Xu still took the bus to court early, sitting on his four-wheel drive luxury city off-road, pinching his chin and constantly underestimating it.

He decided to observe it for the last time today. If Li Si still had no reaction, then the trap of deliberately targeting Li Si might have failed, which might have aroused Li Si's alertness. It seems that he should act more low-key and cautious in the future.

Now is not the time to completely turn against Li Si.

The power of the disciples of the Legal family in the court is not something he can compete with. If the fall is over, even the emperor will be dissatisfied.

At the end of the Yin hour, Chen Xu's carriage came to the square in front of the Chaogong Hall. At this time, the sun was rising, and the ridge of the red sun just released a beautiful and brilliant light, reflecting the entire square clearly and thoroughly.

One carriage after another came one after another.

Like the previous few days, Chen Xu bowed to greet each other with the officials in front, back and left and right, and was surrounded by a group of people and walked along the long steps towards the hall.

"Hey, Li Si hasn't come today?"

After entering the court, Chen Xu's eyes swept into the seat he usually sat, and Li Si was behind him. At this time, Li Si had already sat in the seat and began to close his eyes and wait for the emperor to go to court, but Li Si did not show up today.

Could it be that I overworked after drinking the Five Poisons Shuhun Water last night?

Chen Xu felt a little happy, but his face remained calm and strode to his own big chair and sat down.

Not only did Li Si discover what did not appear, but almost all the civil and military officials in the court discovered it, because at this time, almost all the people who entered the court looked at Li Si's position, especially Meng Yi looked at Chen Xu carefully, as if he wanted to see the reason why Li Si did not come from Chen Xu's face.

Chen Xu's face twitched slightly, and his eyes watched his nose and nose as usual. The beginning of his heart... took a nap.

But obviously Chen Xu was too happy.

Just as the bell was about to ring, Li Si, who was wearing a black court suit, wore a purple ribbon and a jade crown, walked in from outside the court with a tablet in his hand. His expression was plain and serious, as if it was not much different from usual.

The cultural relics in the north gave a breath almost at the same time.

Chen Xu also glanced at Li Si and withdrew his own eyes.

Although Li Si seems to be the same as usual today, his walking steps are obviously a bit sloppy.

Shortly after Li Si walked to his seat, several bronze bells came from the court. As the eunuchs were heard, a dense sound of footsteps came from the back hall. Qin Shihuang walked out under the escort of a group of palace servants and eunuchs.

The court discusses politics is still a fixed routine every day.

The emperor first processed some important official documents handed over to the palace by the three provinces and six ministries yesterday, and then the three provinces and six ministries reported on some important matters selected by their respective government offices. Some of them needed to ask the emperor to make decisions in person to issue decrees to arrange the implementation. Occasionally the emperor would issue a few special orders based on the secret memorials of Xuanwu Guard, and sometimes even discuss some interesting news published in Xianyang Metropolis Daily to relax the atmosphere of the court.

While the court discussion was underway, Li Si was still a little unconscious and had already covered his face with a few yawns.

Chen Xu saw all this.

Li Si's actions naturally aroused the emperor's concern. During the political discussion, Li Si was reminded with concern: "Li Xiang worked hard every day, and he should also pay attention to a good rest. Don't overwork!"

"Thank you for your concern. The summer is hot and you can't sleep well last night. Today, you are rude in court. The old minister apologized to Your Majesty!" Li Si quickly stood up and accused him of the crime.

"I heard that my dear document is processed until late at night every night, but Li Xiangru is the oldest person in the court and my arm. I must take good care of my body. I will disperse the court later. I will ask the imperial doctor to go to the prime minister's office to treat my dear to prescribe some decoctions to calm the spirit!"

When Li Si heard the word "decoction" and trembled slightly, he glanced at Chen Xu and then quickly bowed and thanked him and sat down.

During the Chen hour, the court meeting ended and all officials dispersed. Chen Xu and Feng Quji were wearing shoes and chatting for a few words at the entrance of the court meeting hall. After watching Li Si leave by car, they said goodbye and took the bus to the Women's College.

Li Si's performance today is very similar to the situation when he took the Five Poisons Shuhun Water. He was in good spirits but his body had obviously changed, especially a pair of dark circles. If this situation worsens in the next few days, Li Si must have been doing it.

Chen Xu was not guilty of using this method to frame Li Si.

Because although the character Li Si has a high status in Chinese history and has made great contributions, his personal character does have major flaws. Killing Han Fei is a stain that he cannot wash away in his life. If history does not change, the Qin Dynasty will eventually be destroyed in his hands.

Those who harm others will eventually harm themselves.

However, Chen Xu still couldn't pin his hope of killing Li Si on this potion. With Li Si's life experience and his cunning life, he might know the domineeringness of this drug in a few days, and then slowly wake up.

But as an old man in his sixties, even if he only took it for three or five days, Chen Xu believed that Li Si would definitely get seriously ill. Even if he couldn't just get tired of him, it would be considered a revenge for the ten evils of magic.

And maybe he can't afford to be ill and cannot handle government affairs. The emperor will inevitably arrange someone to take over Li Si's position. As long as Li Si is driven from the position of left prime minister, the Legalists' power in the court will be instantly lost half, and the resistance to Chen Xu's subsequent reform will inevitably be much smaller.

Two business halls were opened on the street in front of the Women's College.

One is a garment shop called Wanyue Nishang, which sells women's dresses designed by a group of teachers and students from the Women's College. They use the latest trend elements and form a new style of clothing like the school uniforms of the Women's College. However, the main ones are young girls, and they use colorful printing and dyeing fabrics and even expensive silks. Each set has a different style. They are all made by several teachers and teachers who are proficient in cutting and knitting to guide a group of female students to make it hand-made slowly. The price is not cheap. The starting price of one set is 300 or 500 yuan, which is very different from ordinary clothes. However, these clothes are deeply sought after by the daughters of princes, princes, ministers and wealthy merchants, and have always been in short supply.

Next to the ready-to-wear store is a jewelry store called makeup.

There is a row of wooden glass cabinets inside, and there are some hairpins, hair ropes, hairpins, bracelets, bells, gold, silver and jade hairpins, and some decorative items for women with unique designs and novel styles.

These things were designed by students and teachers from the Women's College. They combine the style of the Zhou and Qin period and some later elements told by Chen Xu. Each one is unique and is also sought after by young women.

When Chen Xu arrived by car, both business halls were very lively.

A group of girls wearing various styles of color come in and out, discussing clothes and clothes with each other, looking very lively.

Several soldiers standing on duty on the street saw Chen Xu's carriage and hurried forward together to salute.

"Husband, why are you here today?"

In the garment shop, Meng Wan was holding a tape ruler to measure the height of a woman of sixteen or seventeen. When she saw Chen Xu coming in, she was immediately attracted by her joy.

"I have free time today. I came to take a look after the court meeting. It's not bad. Your store is getting more lively now!" Chen Xu praised with a smile.

"No, the little ladies in Xianyang now like to wear the clothes we designed now, especially Sister Shui designed two sets that were very good. I also tried to design and improve a few sets, but I always felt that they did not have the indifferent and elegant style of Sister Shui... My husband atones for his sins, I... I shouldn't mention Sister Shui..."

Seeing Chen Xu's smile slowly becoming silent, Meng Wan was so scared that she apologized quickly.

"It's okay, Qingru is different from you. The clothes she designed have a natural harmony and a feeling of being out of the world, just like your school uniform. You won't get bored every day. Even if you have ten or a hundred years, you may still not be outdated. Therefore, don't just design clothes for innovation, wonder, and bright colors. You should design different styles and colors according to the needs of different groups and ages. Too many colors may not be good-looking, because they will feel messy, while the pure and comfortable colors look more dignified and steady. Different people have different personalities, so they like them differently. Just like Qingru, she likes black, and most of her dresses are black, but they look unique. You have to think more about the matching of colors and people's preferences..."

Chen Xu held Meng Wan's hand and said while observing in the garment store.

"Hey, this set looks good!"

Chen Xu walked to the front of a nude model made of bamboo and wood. The model was wearing a particularly eye-catching red dress, with the same upper and lower skirt. The design was also very simple, but it looked brighter.

The Qin Dynasty was still black, and men were most expensive to wear black clothes. They usually wear black dresses on important occasions such as festivals and sacrificial weddings to show their grandeur. However, this is only for people with status and there is no mandatory regulation for civilians. Therefore, civilians generally only can only wear unprinted and dyed white coats, called white Ding.

There is no regulation on women's clothing that is still dark, so women's clothing is obviously more colorful than men's clothing, but it is just a difference in color. The style of the clothes is also very simple, just a skirt. If Chen Xu had not traveled through time, this kind of clothing would have been popular for hundreds of years. It was not until the rise of Confucianism that gorgeous and elegant clothes began to appear, and the clothes of men and women became richer and colorful.

At present, the most common printing and dyeing fabrics are popular in Daqin. Because the printing and dyeing steps are complicated, the printed and dyeing fabrics are also more expensive. A dyed cloth is more than twice as expensive than an ordinary white cloth. As for uncommon fabrics such as red, yellow and purple, it is harder to get, and there are few people wearing them. At most, it is used to make some decorations, such as skirts, hairbands, waistbands, etc.
