A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

Xianyang City, shrouded in wind and snow, has a panoramic view. The mountains in the distance and the familiar land are covered with a layer of silver. From time to time, candlelight flickers in the city, and the snow light illuminates the Xianyang City in front of you. It was like daytime, and Yi Xin could see occasional passers-by walking slowly on the street, and dogs barking from time to time. He had never seen this in his hometown.

"Do you still like it?"

Meng Yi poured a cup of hot tea from the carriage and handed it to Yi Xin.

"That's the Qin Palace over there. And there...that's the mansion where we got married, and you'll be living there from now on."

Meng Yi pointed to the city in the distance, looked at Yi Xin and put on a faint smile, she said

"I have never climbed a mountain in snow. If I knew that the world after snow is so beautiful, I should come and see more!"

"If you like it, you can come if you want!"

Meng Yi took a sip of tea and asked again

"Would you like to go hunting in the mountains in a few days? You should like it, right?"

"To the hunting grounds used by the royal family?"

"No... we went to the mountains to find the hunting ground ourselves. Although animals are rare in this season, there may be unexpected harvests..."

Seeing how seriously Yi Xin listened, Meng Yi said again

"We set out early, brought hot tea and cooking utensils, and found an open area to set up a fire to cook. Although it is not as grand and well-arranged as going hunting with the monarch, it has another kind of fun. We can hunt some. Hare, pheasant, and maybe sika deer, and if you’re lucky... you can even hunt a hibernating bear!”

"I'm going, I'm going!"

Before Meng Yi finished speaking, Yi Xin's playful spirit was aroused!

"I have only been to hunting grounds in spring with my father before, but I have never been to hunting in winter!"

The awkward atmosphere between the two of them just now has been swept away, and Yi Xin's eagerness to try is finally freed from the restlessness just now.

"Let's go there in a few days..."

Meng Yi looked at the snowy scene in the distance, and then at the princess beside him. Her eyebrows were full of smiles, and she seemed to be relieved about getting married to him.

"From now on...you can still live the life you want."

Meng Yi said

"You married me because of your Majesty's order. You have no feelings for me and no expectations for this marriage. If I still restrict your freedom in life, wouldn't it mean that you have no hope."

Yi Xin took a sip of tea and happened to catch a glimpse of Meng Yi looking at her.

If it's love, it probably doesn't exist. Yi Xin smiled. If we can stay together as friends for a lifetime, maybe I can do it too!

It's just... She always felt that there was a thick fog in her heart that never dissipated. Whether it was friendship or love, whether it was friendship or love, it seemed that it was almost indistinguishable for Meng Yi and Meng Tian.

Ying Zheng was naturally happy to have a son and a daughter. Today, he was both happy and unwilling to give up on Yi Xin's wedding. He drank and chatted with all the guests until midnight. No, it wasn't... because he drank too much because he was too drunk. , now I have a headache (why do I think of Cao Cao-_-||)

"Is it better? The imperial doctor just came to see you and said you were too tired."

Shimi twisted a wet towel and applied it to Ying Zheng's forehead. He was grinning and laughing just now, but now he was grimacing and frowning, unable to say a word.

"I'm happy that Yi Xin is getting married. I'll have a few more drinks with the ministers. It won't be a problem."

"It's not a problem..."

Shikiya scolded softly.

"After the banquet is over, I still want to go to the side hall to see the memorials. If I hadn't persuaded you to stop me, you would still be holding on to those memorials!"

Ying Zheng lay on the bed and took Shimi's hand and said happily

"It's all your credit for raising a pair of children so well...Now that Fusu and Yixin have married, our little girl Yihua is still young and can stay with us for a few more years."

Ying Zheng smiled, looked at his wife in front of him, and sighed

"I'll have to let you suffer for a few more years..."

"Why do the family say so politely? It's too intrusive."

Shimi patted the back of Ying Zheng's hand and comforted him.

"Get some rest early. You have to go to court tomorrow morning. When you open your eyes, you will be busy with state affairs."

Shiya stood up and was about to change the towel on Ying Zheng's forehead, but he grabbed him again

"Shikiya..."

he called softly

"After all these years, you still haven't forgiven me, right?"

The two of them haven't talked about Li Mu for a long time, and maybe they haven't mentioned the name Li Xi again for a long time. Instead of letting go, they are forcing themselves to let go. The two of them had a huge quarrel because of Li Mu, and Ying Zheng seemed to be a different person. Yes, Shimi was treated extremely harshly.

"Li Mu's death has made our relationship take a different path. Although you are by my side, others may look like you before, but I am the only one who understands that deep down in your heart, you have never forgiven me, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about...it's all in the past..."

Shimi wanted to pull her hand away, but Ying Zheng still held her tightly. Perhaps it was because of his illness that Ying Zheng looked particularly fragile now. His tone was soft and lacked the usual majesty.

"I know you still hate me in your heart, hate me for being indifferent to you, hate me for betraying our vow back then. Over the years, you have always had a grudge in your heart, and I understand..."

Although she slept with him in the same bed and had a loving relationship with him, Shimiya would not act coquettishly or have a little temper with him like she did before. In the past, she would be angry with him, cheat, and even get angry with him in the middle of the night. When she found that she was not in bed, she came to the side hall to look for her, but since Li Mu's death and Zhiyu's birth, she had become a "qualified" queen. Ying Zheng didn't like her being a qualified queen who could do everything calmly and solemnly. In the past, Shimiya was lively and enthusiastic, with flesh and blood. Although she kept Qin Palace in order, there was always a gap in the relationship between the two, as if the two hearts were clearly within reach, but there was still no way to cross that gap. A ditch.

Shimiya didn't respond immediately. She held Ying Zheng's hand and looked at the middle-aged Ying Zheng. He was tired and getting older. His dark and sinister eyes occasionally showed a bit of helplessness and fatigue.

She smiled and reached out to touch Ying Zheng's face. The palm of her hand was itchy due to her beard. Ying Zheng's eyes were a little blurry. He grabbed Shimi's hand and asked again.

"What can you do to forgive me? What can you do to make up for my mistakes? I don't know... I really don't know how to fill this gap in your heart."

"You're drunk, go to bed early..."

"Shikiya!"

Ying Zheng held her hand, maybe he was drunk. Ying Zheng felt very insecure tonight.

"Do you...still love me? I know it's ridiculous to ask this at our age, but I'm really afraid that your feelings for me are slowly lost in these disappointments..."
