A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"My father's love for your mother will never change. It's just that the feelings between adults are always complicated. Although they love each other, there will be conflicts."

"Is it an irresolvable conflict? Is it a conflict that makes my father angry and sad? Is it... my mother did something wrong? Are you punishing her like this?"

The little princess tugged on Ying Zheng's sleeves and asked her heart-wrenching words, which made Ying Zheng feel distressed. He hugged Yi Xin tightly and said softly.

"It's not that your mother did something wrong, maybe... it was your father who did something wrong..."

"You know you are wrong, why don't you admit it? Master has taught my daughter that she can correct her mistakes once she knows them. There is no greater good. My father is the king of Qin. How could I not understand this simple truth? Why should I let this mistake continue to exist? To solve it?"

"me……"

Ying Zheng couldn't answer a word asked by the little Doudin in front of him. This little clever guy was so eloquent!

"Is it because of the monarch's face?"

She stared at those big innocent eyes, and her long fluttering eyelashes were full of doubts. For a child like her, the complex emotions between adults were difficult for her to understand, but as she said, Ying For the sake of the face and dignity of his king, Zheng was unwilling to bow his head, even though he knew... that he was wrong.

"My daughter understands."

Yi Xin suddenly leaned on Ying Zheng's chest, closed her eyes and replied with a smile.

"My father is the master of Qin and the proudest person in the world. I think it's not that my father doesn't love my mother anymore, but I don't know how to take this step. My father must have a great country in his heart. But my mother , I only have a small family in my heart... How pitiful you are to keep her in the harem and ignore her. Even if your daughter and her brother are with you day and night, I don’t think they can compare to the warmth of a greeting from your father."

"Who taught you these things? Was it your queen mother?"

Ying Zheng raised his hands and surrendered. There was nothing he could do about his daughter! His brows were furrowed just now, but now his face was full of love. It was rare to have a chat with his beloved daughter, and her daughter was so close to him. Ying Zheng didn't want to push her away, nor did he want to disappoint his only daughter. He hugged the baby in his arms, Even the harsh tone disappeared without a trace.

"No...it's what my daughter wants to say..."

She leaned lightly against Ying Zheng and felt a very warm power, gentle and genial. This was the aura brought by her nearest relative.

"I like my father very much, and I also like my mother very much... Although I was born into a royal family, I really like our little family."

"What do you want me to do?"

Ying Zheng gently touched Yi Xin's hair and asked

"Go to see your mother tonight...not as a king, but as a common man's husband..."

It was dark night again in the majestic Qin Palace. Shimi did not wait for Ying Zheng to return. She knew that he would not come again, but turned out the lights and lay down early.

She looked at the endless darkness in front of her, and finally understood the heavy shackles she had to bear in this era. The only reason she stayed here was Ying Zheng's love. At this moment, when this only reason was about to disappear, Shimi suddenly began to worry about the future. I feel confused and helpless.

I think back when that young man said that he was willing to love himself with all his life, both in his tone and in his eyes, his firmness was unquestionable. But now... this love that he regards as a treasure, should it be like autumn leaves? , withered and drifting away?

Her gentle breathing flowed in the night, and there was no longer a warm embrace around her. Although she felt wronged, Shikiya didn't want to cry when she was alone.

I should have thought of this day for a long time, but now that day has finally arrived, how will I face it?

Just as Shimiya was planning for her uncertain future, soft footsteps stepped into the hall, and then a pair of warm hands covered her shoulders.

At night, Ying Zheng's gentle and helpless voice came from behind.

"Today, Yi Xin came to see me and told me that what she is proud of is her parents' unswerving love. She loves her family so much and likes her father, queen and queen so much. But now, her father, queen and queen are not No matter how affectionate she is, she is afraid and worried..."

Ying Zheng hadn't spoken with such a gentle voice for a long time. Both of them seemed to have returned to their youth, the innocence and simple yet passionate love at that time.

"I thought about it for a long time, and then I remembered that I seemed to have forgotten something most important. What I said when you and I were in Zhao country together when I saw you were about to leave, I said that I would only treat you well and love you for the rest of my life. Until now...I have kept my promise.”

Ying Zheng put his hand on Shimi's shoulder. Although she didn't turn around, she could feel her shoulder shaking slightly.

"My love for you will never change... The heavy state affairs these days have almost overwhelmed me. I was anxious when I heard that Li Mu was recalled to the front line. You obviously did nothing wrong, but I doubted you... I You know...I've made this mistake more than once. I make you sad regularly and make you regret staying here, right?"

After a long time, Shimi's voice came softly.

"Yes... I regret it... At this time, when I look at the person I love, he has become a stranger. For him, I gave up everything in the past and cut off all nostalgia, just to stay here for him. , but he doubted my feelings, and I was extremely disappointed... The person in front of me was no longer my lover, nor my beloved husband. He seemed to have put me in the position of a queen, hoping that I would put him in the position of a queen. We treat you like a king. Ying Zheng... do you want this? Do you want me to treat you as a king, not my husband?"

"Absolutely not!"

Ying Zheng said

"When you and I parted, and we finally got to where we are now after going through hardships, I should cherish it. But when people are in high positions, they are also confused, and when they are blinded by power, Shimi... I hope that in the future, you can be like me. Like your left and right hands, support me and give me guidance. When I make a mistake, I also hope that you can speak out without hesitation."

When he hugged Shimiya and put his forehead on her back, he finally said a soft, somewhat stiff apology.

The pride of the king was all gone at this moment. Here was an ordinary couple. Ying Zheng put aside the dignity and pride of the emperor and apologized to his sad wife.

The hearts of the two people who had been separated for a long time seemed to have not been so closely connected for a long time. Ying Zheng held Shimi in his arms and had her again, just like they were reunited after a long separation.

"Emotions in adulthood are really complicated! I want to grasp it, but I keep pushing it away. The self-contradiction makes me confused. If Yixin hadn't woken me up today, I'm afraid I would have disappointed you. Right ?"

"yes……"

Shiya was hugged by Ying Zheng and smiled lightly
