A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Although this was a family banquet, Shimiya could already sense a sense of crisis before it even started.

She saw Zhao Lijiang sitting on the front seat with Ying Zheng, looking at her condescendingly, as if he was demonstrating.

"Today's family dinner is here. All the guests are family and friends. Don't be restrained. Just treat it as a normal banquet."

The courtiers saluted and greeted Zhao Lijiang. She seemed to enjoy the feeling of being held high. Now she was indeed an extremely noble Queen Mother. She had obtained all the glory, status, power and money she wanted! When a woman lives like this, she has reached the top!

Shimi looked at her and suddenly found that the eunuch standing not far from Zhao Lijiang was handsome and handsome, with eyes like a fox demon that kept turning, as if he was always thinking about something. After a while, he already guessed who this handsome eunuch was.

Ying Zheng always cast some eager glances at Shimi from time to time at the palace banquet, which made Shimi even more uneasy. In private, it was okay for the two of them to flirt with each other, but now in full view of the public, this... this Ying Why couldn't Zheng suppress his restless heart? ! Shikiya kept dodging his gaze and had no choice but to focus on the Maiden dancing in the hall.

Everyone was watching the dance, but Yan Dan was the only one burying his head in drinking. It would definitely not be a good thing if the Queen Mother called him here today. Although he had guessed it, he still came. Now he is not afraid of anything. At least he will die, but he is happy!

After a song and dance, another singer wearing a red dress came with a pipa in her arms. Just as he sat down and was about to play a song, Zhao Lijiang spoke.

She looked at Shimiya, pretending to be an elder with a smile, and asked in a caring tone.

"I heard that Shimi seemed to have played the pipa when he was alone in Zhao. It seemed... to make money to support his family, right?"

Zhao Lijiang's words caused the three people in the palace to tremble. Ying Zheng, Shi Mi, and Yan Dan all looked at her.

Although it is not a bad thing to mercilessly dig up Shimiya's past in public, but for Shimiya who is now the king's favorite concubine, it is not a big deal that she once worked as a singer in a teahouse. Something that can be put on the table and talked about.

Seeing that Ying Zheng wanted to defend himself, Shiya quickly shook his head to signal him not to say anything.

Seeing Shimi slowly stand up and salute to the Queen Mother, he responded calmly.

"It's true that I was alone in Zhao State and had no one to rely on. If I wanted to survive, I could only make a living by performing arts. I just played some music in an ordinary teahouse and nothing else."

"Being helpless shouldn't be considered helpless, right?"

Zhao Lijiang felt a sense of great power. All the senior officials here today were wary of her position as the Queen Mother. They could tell that the Queen Mother was deliberately making things difficult, but they all remained silent, leaving the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to confront each other.

"Don't you live with Yan Dan, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom? We support each other, how can we be... helpless?"

Ying Zheng's face darkened and he was very unhappy, but Zhao Lijiang showed no intention of restraining himself. Shimi knew that she had probably already found out about her living situation in the Zhao Kingdom, so she was holding a banquet at this moment. On the surface it was a family dinner, but in fact he was looking for a reason to make things difficult for himself.

"Yes……"

Shikiya couldn't excuse himself at this moment, so he had to admit

"Yan Dan and I are brothers and sisters, we support and take care of each other, but there are times when we are stretched thin."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers below began to talk about it. These men and women are different. How can they call each other brother and sister and live together? ! It’s really unbecoming!

Zhao Lijiang was even more proud when he saw that Shimi was deflated, and began to ask questions without hesitation.

"It's a rare family dinner today. I wonder if Shimiya can play a song so that everyone can see your talent?"

Now that Shimi is the concubine of Yingzheng, how can she show off her talents in front of everyone and serve others with sex like she did before? It really made her furious, but Shimi knew that Zhao Lijiang was well prepared and would never let her escape so easily. When she saw Ying Zheng's face showing anger, she had to pretend not to care, still maintaining everyone's demeanor, and smiled after saluting. replied

"If you want to listen, I can play a song, just to add color to today's family dinner."

Shimi stood up and called the singer who was standing aside at a loss to bring the pipa. Just as he was about to take the pipa, Lu Buwei spoke.

"My dear, I can't help it. You are now the king's sidekick and a concubine. How can you personally play music for the courtiers to listen to? This, isn't this a disgrace to us..."

When all the ministers heard what Lu Buwei said, they also hurriedly catered to him and expressed their disapproval.

Zhao Lijiang saw that the ministers refused, so naturally he couldn't force Shimi to play, so he had to change his direction and asked again

"I heard..."

She glanced at Yan Dan and said with a half-smile.

"Didn't you have a marriage contract with Prince Yan in the Kingdom of Zhao? It seems... I don't know what happened later, but you turned around and became the concubine of the Prince of Zhao for two years... Now, you, a woman, have served you continuously The princes of the two countries, this, this is now serving the king of Qin...it is really..."

Before Zhao Lijiang finished speaking, he heard Ying Zheng slamming the table and getting up, yelling angrily.

"Mother! If you are holding a banquet today just to make things difficult for Shimi! Then there is no need for her to stay any longer! What do you mean by embarrassing her over and over again in front of everyone? Has Shimi ever served the princes of the two countries? , I know best in my heart!"

Ying Zheng was furious and looked at the ministers as if he wanted to eat people. How could these ministers dare to look directly at them? They lowered their heads and said nothing.

"I know that you have been quite critical of Shimi after she came to Qin! Zuo just said that she had an affair with the crown prince of Yan and Zhao! So at today's banquet, Gu also made it clear! She is the wife of our Qin King Ying Zheng. Beloved concubine! She is an indispensable person by Gu's side! If anyone hurts her or harms her! If Gu hears anything about you talking about her! No matter who the other person is! Whether they are Gu's relatives or favorites, they will be killed without mercy! ! Let’s see who dares to say more!”

Shimi had never seen Ying Zheng so angry before. Regardless of the fact that everyone was still present, he hurriedly walked down from his seat, helped Shimi in front of everyone, and once again expressed his attitude sternly.

"What I said today is definitely not to intimidate you! I will do what I say!"

Zhao Lijiang mentioned the aspect that Ying Zheng least wanted to mention. Zeng Shimi was forced by life and had to devote himself to Zhao Yan. Although he knew that this matter could not be wrapped up in paper, he did not expect that his mother would actually He will put the past that Shimiya least wants to mention in front of everyone, which will make them unhappy and make Shimiya even more miserable!

Shimi was supported by Ying Zheng. When the two were about to leave the banquet, Shimi shook off Ying Zheng's hand and walked back to the main hall. Seeing that he was cold and aloof, not timid at all, she looked at the crowd and then at Zhao Li. Jiang said with a smile.
