A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Seeing that Li Si was about to stab the old man to death, before Shimi could stop him, he saw the motionless old man open his eyes.

It is a pair of extremely deep eyes, as calm as if they can see through everything in the world. Such a pair of eyes seems to be able to easily see through people's hearts.

Li Si, who was originally furious, showed timidity after looking into such a pair of eyes. He curled his lips and put back his sword.

"The king of Qin is indeed young."

He smiled and stroked his beard. He didn't seem to be suppressed by Ying Zheng's imperial aura at all. Instead, he stood up slowly and made a slight gesture towards Ying Zheng before Ying Zheng responded with a smile.

"Mage must not be angry."

Even Ying Zheng became polite.

Shiya watched from the side, and now he couldn't tell whether the old man in front of him really had two brushes, or whether he was just pretending to be a ghost. He saw him slowly analyzing the current weather situation with Ying Zheng, and analyzing when it would be a good day. His words were clear and logical, and everyone present was stunned by him.

"Does he look like a man with magic powers?"

Shimi asked Shi Yi in a low voice. Shi Yi also looked at the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. He chuckled and said

"Are there many charlatans who make money from natural and man-made disasters? These people have all deceived themselves out of experience. They pretend to be like gods descending to earth and ignore the vicissitudes of the human world. But they are not mortal bodies. How are they different from you and me?"

Shi Yi folded her hands on her chest and watched with gusto. She was very interested in this "liar" and even wanted to encourage Shimi to expose his childish and inferior deceptions!

But Ying Zheng seemed to have such faith in this mage that Shimi couldn't even open his mouth to question him, so he could only hold it in his heart until he could interrogate this pretentious old man in private.

Since the ceremony was to be carried out, many things had to be prepared. The old man asked Ying Zheng to prepare cattle, sheep and livestock for sacrifice. He also ordered people to set up a stage at the mouth of the river not far from the city, and set the date to burn incense in advance to honor the gods. He meditated on this altar, never leaving it, never touching a drop of water. When the right time came, he would set up a formation and cast spells, praying for rain from heaven.

A group of people received the order and went down to prepare. Shimi and Shi Yi returned to the house after seeing the excitement. The two of them were talking and laughing along the way, discussing this old magician.

"What this guy is talking about now is very clear. I bet that if he can't pray for rain, he will find an excuse to say that the gods are not at home!"

As soon as Shimi said these words, Shi Yi and Zhu Cui laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"I want to see if he can stand up on the altar outside for several days without eating or drinking!"

Lian Zhucui also started teasing.

In the afternoon, a group of people brought by Ying Zheng began to set up a table outside the official's house and began to give porridge to the affected people to relieve their urgent needs.

There were more people affected by the disaster than expected. When the news was released, within a short time, a black crowd of victims came after hearing the news. They were hanging in tattered clothes, holding broken bowls in their hands, and their eyes were full of anger. Longing, and what's more, there is a dying baby in his arms, which makes Shimi's heart feel like a knife!

The wheels of history roll by, leaving behind those who have names, so that future generations can sigh for them. And for these ordinary people who cannot find their names, they are like a wisp of smoke. Who will pity them for being exploited and suffering? What about a lifetime?

"Don't be anxious, everyone, don't be anxious! Everyone has a share!"

Zhucui and Shi Yi helped serve the porridge, while Wang Jian and Li Xin were sharing the cakes. Meng Tian maintained order. Although Shi Mi wanted to help, the scene was too chaotic. Everyone was afraid that the people would rush to push her, so they called her Watch from the sidelines and don't interfere.

Looking at the flood of victims, Shimi had mixed feelings in his heart. How can this situation be solved? Such a serious disaster...do I have the ability to quell it? Seeing these skinny people, Shimi felt a little unconfident.

The arrival of Ying Zheng gave them hope of life. They eagerly expected the monarch of Qin to save their lives. But if there was no success in this visit, how should they explain to these people?

Just as Shimi stood there helpless, watching Shi Yi and Zhu Cui struggling to get away, he wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by an unexpected visitor.

"Queen, just leave these things to them. If you step forward, these people will not dare to stretch their hands."

The person in front of me was none other than the old man just now.

Shimi looked at him with a smile on his face and a gentle look. If he was a liar, his acting skills would be great!

"Do you really have the magic to make it rain? Are you lying to me?"

Shikiya's words were a bit sharp, and she added

"You have seen the tragedy here. If you want to extinguish the hopes of these victims, that would be too much."

The old man was not annoyed, he just smiled and asked

"Where did you find the treasure hidden in your waist?"

As soon as these words came out, Shimi was shocked and instinctively touched the Pisces jade pendant on his waist. He was speechless for a long time.

"You...how do you know?"

This jade pendant was only shown to Ying Zheng and no one else knew about it. How could he know? !

Shikiya's heart was beating fast, but the old man still smiled calmly.

"This jade is destined to be the queen's, and it is destined to become her possessions."

"You...know my details?"

Shikiya didn't believe it, but still opened his mouth to test.

The old man nodded and said

"Although the empress accidentally entered this era, she was destined to do so. There is no need to panic. Everything will be as it happens."

The old magic stick in front of me actually has two brushes! He just took a few glances at himself and saw through his biggest secret!

"The empress is now pregnant with your son. Although this baby is a hurdle for you! But this child... will help you and the Qin State in the future!"

"What...what do you mean by this?"

Shimi caressed his belly and saw that he was mysterious.

"Do you know whether this baby is male or female?"

"Yes."

he nodded

"Although this fetus is a girl, she is not inferior to a boy at all. She was born in the wrong era. Although she has been well-dressed and well-fed since birth, and has been praised as the apple of her eye, her ending... may not be so happy."

Shimi frowned and felt a little angry. Before the child was born, the old man in front of him began to curse the child's outcome! What bad luck!

The old man seemed to see Shimiya's displeasure, and he quickly explained

"Time is also destiny. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this. She will have a glorious life."

Shimi held her pregnant belly and when she was about to say goodbye, the old man stopped her again.

"My Lady, I wonder if you can help me summon rain successfully when the five stars gather in three days' time?"

"What did you say?"

Shikiya turned around slowly and asked incredulously

"In three days, will it be the time when the five stars gather together again?"
