A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"Have Li Xi seen you?"

"Yes, the guard deliberately showed a flaw according to the queen's instructions and let her go, and she hurriedly went to find you."

It turns out that the person standing behind the rockery just now was Zhu Cui!

"What will happen when you meet your Majesty? What will the two of you say?"

Shimi tested Ying Zheng for the first time. She wanted to know if the two people still had contact. Although she had forgiven Ying Zheng on the surface, there was always a knot in her heart that made her feel stuffy.

"Your Majesty was very angry and told her to give her two choices..."

"Which two?"

Shimiya's eyes became a little murderous

Zhu Cui hesitated for a moment and said

"Your Majesty said, either stay in Yuefu and become a singer in peace, or tell her to go back to Tianshui."

She looked at her master's serious face and said:

"Your Majesty, even though I was standing a little far away, I could see clearly. Your Majesty's expression changed immediately when you saw Li Xi. You wanted to kill her."

Shikiya thought silently, and then asked

"Has the person Wang Jian sent to Tianshui to investigate Li Xi's life experience come back?"

"I haven't returned yet. It will probably be after New Year's Day."

"so……"

Shikiya nodded, a little worried.

"This Li Xi, if she is a singer with an innocent background, she will be trapped in the Qin Palace for the rest of her life just because she was favored by the king and served her for one night. It would be unfair to her."

"Your Majesty...how could she be a singer with an innocent background? You see, these days, she has been thinking of ways to see the king. Just now the king asked her if she wanted to return to Tianshui, and she shut up! If she really doesn't want to If you stay in the palace, why would you want to stay?"

"You are right..."

Shimi nodded, looking at the charcoal fire in front of him in a daze.

"How could an ignorant singer dare to want to see the king again and again? She would dare to disturb the king's mood by playing the piano at night. After thinking about it...she is not a woman with pure intentions. Go ahead and give the order. Ask the guards to keep a close watch on you, and don’t cause trouble and make your clan members laugh at you at the end of the year.”

While the master and servant were talking, Ying Zheng came into the wind.

"Shimiya, I kept you waiting for a long time..."

He opened the curtain and walked in with a rare smile. When Shiya saw Ying Zheng coming, he immediately stood up to welcome him.

"It's freezing outside, are you feeling cold?"

"No way. I'm afraid you'll get hungry after waiting for a long time. No matter how cold it is, you'll have to rush here."

The fire was burning in the room and it was warm. Neither of them said anything about Li Xi just now. Ying Zheng held Shimi's hand and said with concern.

"It's been cold lately, so I have to go out less often. Look at your hands, they're cold..."

"Yes, I know……"

"Where is Yihua? Are you asleep?"

"The wet nurse has taken her to breastfeed her. You're a step too late."

The two of them were talking and laughing, sitting around the table, and the hot food and wine seemed to have washed away the barriers between the two of them. Ying Zheng looked at Shimi, and there was a smile on her brows and eyes, but only he knew that, The relationship between the two has been covered with a layer of veil, and it has become like treating each other as guests.

Soon, the New Year's Day arrived. On this day, heavy snow fell in Xianyang City. The first snowfall of the new year made Shimi feel a little better. On this day, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and it was very lively. The various ministers and relatives who were invited to the banquet had been received from morning until evening. Although it was tedious and tiring, Shimiya was in a good mood. As long as he was busy, he would not think about those bad things anymore.

Yi Xin accompanied her mother, and when she saw Meng Tian leading his wife Ban Ling Yi, her long-dead relationship resurfaced.

The relationship between the two seemed to be very good. Yi Xin watched the two of them walk up the steps from a distance, Meng Tian supported her, and Ban Lingyi hid under his umbrella. Both of them came out on the snow with happy smiles. , this picture is extremely beautiful.

"Why did Meng Tian bring his wife here?"

Yixin asked blankly

"She is a bride, so she will naturally enter the palace to pay her respects this year."

Shiya glanced at his daughter beside him and saw that she was a little disappointed.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, where is Fusu? Why don't you see him?"

"He was taken by your father to face the 'torture' of his clan members in the main hall!"

Seeing Meng Tian getting closer and closer, Yi Xin hurriedly said

"I'll go find him..."

Before Shimiya could call her, Yixin left in a hurry.

In the Qin Palace at night, the lights are naturally bright, the sound of silk, bamboo, piano, music and dance all stir the heartstrings of everyone in the main hall. My eyes were dazzled by the delicious wine and delicacies in front of me. Everyone was changing glasses and it was so lively! Although it is only Qin now, Shimi seems to have seen in this peaceful scene the majestic future of the Qin Kingdom after reunification!

Tonight, she also drank a lot. Shimiya is the queen and has always been known for her virtues. Naturally, the ministers and relatives sitting here have no dissatisfaction with her. She has been able to be the king's favorite for more than 20 years, and she is naturally capable. . The person sitting there, Your Highness, naturally admires Shikiya.

It's just that the queen, who has given birth to three sons, still looks as young as a girl. Speaking of which, she is three years older than the monarch. Now that they are sitting side by side, she looks like the monarch's daughter.

Everyone was talking about it. In the past twenty years, the queen not only did not age, but became more and more radiant. Then... the queen of Qin State did not age, and such gossip spread in Qin State.

"Your Majesty, I am a little drunk and want to go out for some air."

Shimi's drinking power was only average, and Ying Zheng was also secretly observing her tonight. The banquet was only half-way through, and she had already had several drinks.

"Would you like to be alone with you?"

"No need..."

Shikiya's cheeks were flushed, and she smiled and shook her head.

"Your Majesty is the master. How can the master walk away from the banquet? I will come back as soon as I go."

Accompanied by the maids, Shimiya stayed away from the hustle and bustle and went to the palace courtyard. It was snowing outside.

"Mother... you have to be careful, don't slip."

Zhu Cui supported her, and the two of them slowly wandered around the courtyard.

Nowadays, the palace is covered with snow, which gives it a unique flavor. Shimiya looks at the heavy snowfall in the sky, watching the snow fall on the branches, on the lake, and on his hands. The sound of the piano in the distance appears vaguely in his ears. .

“I haven’t been with my family in over twenty years.”

Shikiya held up the snowflake in his hand, watched it fall on his palm, and then melted in the blink of an eye.

The sound of snow concealed her inner loneliness. Being separated from her family was always a thorn in her heart. Every time the year came, her longing became heavier and heavier.

Shimi smiled bitterly and said to Zhu Cui

"The heater in my arms is no longer hot. Go and change it for me."

Then she said to the other maids who were following her:

"You guys bring a table to the pavilion, boil a pot of wine, and get some good vegetables and fruits. I want to watch the snow alone in the pavilion."

"Mother...hey, how can I leave you alone here?"

Zhucui was naturally hesitant, but Shimi was extremely lonely today. She wanted to forget those unhappiness, but when Zhucui didn't agree, she pretended to be angry and said

"Why don't you go quickly? Do you want to disturb my enjoyment?!"

After everyone retreated, Shiya looked at the sky in the distance. Then, she went to the stables without looking back, mounted a good horse, and rushed out of the Qin Palace...
