"Are you still used to living in this palace?"

Shimi comes to visit Li Xi every three to five days. He says it's a visit, but actually he's checking to see if she has changed.

The slaves given to her were all carefully selected by herself. Although she was a concubine and had the status of a beloved wife, from then on Ying Zheng ignored her and the child in her belly. Although she enjoyed the concubine's rights, treatment, but did not receive the respect it deserved.

Li Xi probably didn't guess that the queen of Qin was so important in everyone's minds, and he became the third party to destroy their relationship, causing a rift between the loving couple. The maids in the palace originally respected and admired the monarch's deep love the most, but now they were confused by such a woman. Everyone was angry and naturally couldn't stand her!

This is a place that is even more difficult for Li Xi than sleeping in the open air. In this Qin Palace, no one really likes her, and no one is really willing to ask her to stay. The seemingly gentle queen in front of her does not know what is going on behind her back. How to torture yourself!

"It's okay..."

She just said this lightly, and then she sat in front of the desk and combed her hair.

Seeing that her house was deserted and there was no one to clean up the fallen snow in the courtyard, she also ordered her servants to clear the snow on the road in case the queen fell.

"You don't have to think too much about why your Majesty didn't come to see you. In the past few days, battle reports have come from the front. Wei was destroyed by the Qin army. Your Majesty is very happy. He has been banqueting the generals these days and giving rewards to the soldiers who have made meritorious service. Naturally I don’t have time to see you.”

"It doesn't matter to me whether he comes or not. To be honest, it doesn't matter to me whether you come or not."

Seeing that she still looked like she was not to be trifled with, Shimi wasn't angry either, he just smiled.

"I came... of course not to tell you the news about the Qin army. I don't think you are interested in hearing this news. I just want to remind you that the Wei State was destroyed, and it will soon be the Chu State's turn, and then... It's the State of Yan... You said that Yan Dan can't protect himself, how can he protect you... If you know the truth, give birth to a child well and be your husband, and don't think about messy things for yourself and others. Adding to the congestion."

"You are thinking about me, but I know...you want to threaten me with my child. Do you want to take my life? But it's a pity...I don't love this child at all."

"It's too early to be so arbitrary..."

Shikiya played with the heater in his hand and said thoughtfully

"I keep you not just for the sake of the monarch's reputation, not just because you are pregnant with the monarch's child, but more...for Li Mu's sake."

The two looked at each other, Li Xi's eyes had a touch of warmth, and Shimi sighed with a smile.

"Perhaps it was Li Mu who guided you to come to me. Although the process was a bit tortuous, you still have someone to take care of you in the palace. If you go outside the palace, you will probably live a wandering and helpless life."

"Everyone in this palace looks down upon me and spurns me. What's the difference between me and me outside the palace?"

Li Xi and Shikiya share the same blood. This innate blood relationship makes Li Xi unable to be tough in front of Shimiya. She has tried to resist several times, but when she saw Shikiya's face and her With the exact same face, she could no longer continue her conspiracy. Now that she knew she wanted to kill Ying Zheng, instead of blaming her, she went to beg Ying Zheng to give her the title of concubine, and even agreed to give birth to Ying Zheng's child. All of this... It's not true that she is kind-hearted. She often shows a cold and inhumane side. It's not that Li Xi has never seen it before, but... At this time, Li Xi still doesn't understand why Shimiya treats him again and again. So considerate.

"You live your own life, why do you care about other people's looks? You are now a serious concubine. If you are not satisfied and cause trouble again, let alone the king, I will not spare you!"

Shimi glanced at Li Xi's belly and asked again

"Is it almost six months?"

At this time, Shimi could treat the child in her belly very calmly. She had never thought that one day she would be able to treat Ying Zheng's concubines and the children he had with others so calmly. Those resentments and pains gradually faded away with the passage of time, but occasionally, Shimi could not help but think about how those women in the feudal era could calmly view their husbands and the love of others? There are three thousand beauties in the palace. How can I wait day and night until my husband comes to spend the night with me?

It was a flowery age and beautiful years, but they were all wasted in waiting.

"Yes……"

Li Xi responded calmly. She inadvertently covered her bulging belly with her cuffs, and Shimi could see clearly that even though she said how she didn't like this child, out of maternal nature, she still instinctively wanted to protect this child. child.

"When this child lands safely, you will have one less thing to worry about."

Shimi stood up and looked at the woman in front of the bronze mirror. For some reason, she felt that this scene was a bit desolate.

"If you are lacking anything, tell me. If someone is not taking good care of you, tell me too..."

The human heart is always fleshy, and Shimi's tenderness and care made Li Xi, who had not felt the kindness of the world for a long time, no longer be as arrogant as before. When she was about to get up and leave, the child in her belly kicked her.

"Wait!"

She shouted, her eyes a little warm

"Will you treat this child well? Treat him as your own?"

"Yes, of course..."

After leaving these words, she got up and left.

After nightfall, Ying Zheng hurried over. Ever since he named Li Xi his beloved, Ying Zheng would come to Shimi's place every night. Just like before, there was not a single night when Ying Zheng asked Shimi to fall asleep alone.

It's just that Ying Zheng, who came in a hurry tonight, was extremely excited. He even left Zhao Ze who was waiting beside him. His footsteps were so fast that Zhao Ze could not keep up!

"Shikiya! Shikiya..."

Before entering the palace, he had already heard his call.

"Shikiya! I have great news to tell you today!"

As soon as Ying Zheng walked through the door, Shimi also came out to greet him.

"What's going on? It was a great good thing that the Qin army captured Wei the day before yesterday. What else can make you so happy now?"

Ying Zheng took Shimi's hand and smiled happily.

"Come, let's go to the bedroom and tell you. There will be good news that will surprise you too!"

The two of them went to the bedroom together, and Ying Zheng helped Shimi to sit down in front of the desk.

"What's wrong? Why is the news so grand? I want you, the king, to personally serve you."

Ying Zheng looked a little excited. He smiled more today than in the past few days combined. Shimi looked at him and his lips were grinning almost to his ears!

"The King of Yan was happy to see that I destroyed Wei and then attacked Chu. They were worried that the war would spread to Yan, so they sent envoys to Qin, saying that they were willing to cede Yan's cities and ask Qin to spare them. One life!"
