A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

"The imperial doctor said that there is no serious problem with my legs, but I can't catch cold when the weather is cold, for fear of causing the disease."

Yi Xin looked at Meng Yi and saw that he was worried.

Tomorrow is the day of the expedition. It will be half a year before we see each other again. Meng Yi is naturally reluctant to say goodbye, but seeing that the eldest princess didn't notice anything strange at all, she still drank the fish soup with a smile.

"The fish soup is delicious. Let the kitchen make some tomorrow."

Meng Yi thought for a while and added

"Tell the servants what you like to eat, and don't treat yourself badly. I bought some pieces of good fabric for you today. If you like it, I can make some beautiful clothes."

"What's wrong with you? Are you trying to be courteous for nothing?"

Yi Xin didn't realize that they were about to separate.

"It's not just being attentive. You are my wife, so naturally I have to treat you well. Also... I heard that you are going to listen to a little song with Miss Xuan's family tomorrow. But be careful. There are so many people and so many eyes. Bring some people..."

Meng Yi lowered his head, picked up the rice in the bowl and said again

"As night falls, ask the maids to stay vigilant and don't let thieves break into the house. It would be bad if they are frightened."

"Who in Xianyang City doesn't know your General Meng's residence! This thief... shouldn't be looking for death, right?"

Yi Xin smiled and answered again and again.

"I promise you, I promise you, I will be careful. Why today...you have become a mother-in-law..."

Meng Yi glanced at her, but as soon as Yi Xin's eyes met his, he hurriedly avoided it. Until this moment, Meng Yi already understood the reason why she was so repulsive to others, so he could only say with a wry smile.

"I just found out a few days ago that you like wintersweet. I have asked my servants to transplant a few wintersweet trees. Soon your yard will be filled with fragrance."

Everything he said was a farewell to Yi Xin and to these few months of being together. Since the word "goodbye" could not be said, he had to use another way to explain it. Meng Yi had no way to say goodbye to her, so he had to say goodbye tomorrow morning. Head north secretly.

After dinner, we parted. Yi Xin went to the yard to watch fish. She originally asked Meng Yi to come with her, but Meng Yi refused.

Seeing him leave in a hurry, Yi Xin felt a little sad.

"It's so rare to invite him, but how could he refuse so simply? It's really sad."

A day that was no different from ordinary was over. Yi Xin went to bed early, but Meng Yi didn't close his eyes all night.

I thought about Yi Xin's willful appearance, and recalled all the encounters on the road to Qi State. Every day after the wedding, they all appeared in my mind.

Why... is it Meng Tian?

He murmured to himself. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to face such a cruel reality. He read the letter written to Yi Xin on the table and knew that after returning from the expedition against the Huns, his relationship with Yi Xin as husband and wife would be over.

Before dawn the next day, Meng Yi went out alone.

"General! Are you really not going to say goodbye to the eldest princess? If she knows that you are leaving without saying goodbye, she will definitely be angry!"

Mi Xiu stopped the horse and kept persuading him.

"You can only hide such a big thing!"

"Mi Xiu, if the princess finds out that I am gone, you ask her to go to my study to get a letter. When she sees the letter, she will naturally not blame me."

He left Mi Xiu behind, rushed into Xianyang City before dawn, and disappeared into the night alone.

The next day, Yi Xin didn't notice anything strange. It wasn't unusual to see that Meng Yi didn't have breakfast with him. He must have been summoned to the palace by his father early.

As previously arranged, Yi Xin and Xuan Liao'er went out to listen to music together. The two of them shouted in front of each other and were protected by many guards. They listened to the music and watched the show, but Yi Xin didn't know what was going on. Meng Yi, on the other hand, had already joined Meng Tian and set off in a mighty manner.

The two of them had refreshments outside, went to look at jewelry, and then went to see the latest materials. It was almost evening before Yi Xin sent Xuan Liao'er back to Fusu Mansion.

As luck would have it, the carriage just stopped in front of Fusu's house and met Fusu coming back.

"Yixin, why are you here?"

"What's wrong? I can't play with my sister-in-law?"

Fusu looked at Yixin with some confusion and asked

"Meng Yi went north to conquer the Huns, did you pack his bags for him? Aren't you worried? Why are you still in the mood to play with Liao Er?"

As soon as these words came out, Yi Xin didn’t understand.

"You said Meng Yi went on an expedition? How is that possible! He even dined with me yesterday, and this morning..."

No, no, no!

Thinking of this, Yi Xin noticed something strange. She hadn't seen him all day!

"You said he went to conquer the Huns? Did he go with Meng Tian?"

"Yes! The team set off early, and now they have gone a long way!"

impossible! Impossible, impossible!

Yi Xin didn't have time to say goodbye to Fu Su and hurried home. When she entered the door, she grabbed Mi Xiu and asked

"Your general went on an expedition?!"

Mi Xiu looked at the fierce-looking eldest princess and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! I went out this morning!"

"Then why didn't you say a word about it?"

"The general doesn't let the slave speak, the slave dare not speak..."

This Meng Yi! What medicine is sold in the gourd? !

Seeing how angry the eldest princess was, Mi Xiu hurriedly said:

"The general said that there was a letter left for the eldest princess and placed in the study. The general said that if the princess reads the letter, she will definitely not blame us."

Yi Xin walked to the study angrily. This was the first time she had ever stepped foot here. The letter she left for herself was placed on the desk.

Everything happened suddenly and in chaos. Yi Xin didn't understand why Meng Yi, who was caring about her so well yesterday, suddenly ran away so quickly without even a word of farewell. Even if he wanted to go on an expedition, he still had to tell him, "Calm." Go and see him off yourself!

When Yi Xin opened the wooden slip, the word "Heli" was written clearly on it.

Yi Xin's heart was in suspense, every word was filled with helplessness and reluctance.

During these days of getting married to the princess, I only know that the princess has someone in her heart. This person is not me, Mengyi, but I asked the princess to be my wife. It is really embarrassing for you. Now that I have seen clearly who the princess truly loves, I specially send you a letter of divorce to fulfill the princess's wishes. There is no need to worry about your Majesty’s blame. Meng Yi will take the initiative to bear all the blame and will not embarrass you.

"He...he knows that I like Meng Tian?"

When did he find out? It wasn't until this moment that Yi Xin realized how seriously injured Meng Yi was! How embarrassing it is to marry a younger brother but love him! In order not to face such a disastrous marriage, he actually chose to send a divorce letter and would rather run to the battlefield where life and death were uncertain!

Yi Xin looked at Meng Yi's letter and burst into tears.

"He actually wants to... reconcile with me!"

He went into the palace overnight to find his mother! At this time, Qin Gong Shimi had already rested, but when he heard that Yi Xin was visiting, he felt puzzled!

Could it be that I am in trouble if I suddenly ask to see you late at night?

Just as Shiya was thinking, Yi Xin rushed into the dormitory crying and shouting.

"Queen Mother, please mobilize a team of soldiers and horses. I'm going to look for Meng Yi!"
