Lin Daiyu, Empress of the Great Qin Emperor

Faced with Gong Ziyu's arrogant attitude, Queen Mother Zhao looked at him with a smile, and said after a while: "Gong Ziyu, even if your father is in front of Ai's family, you would not dare to speak like this. Although Zhao Guo is weak If you are weak, you will not allow someone like you to be presumptuous again. You should go back, don’t you say that today is to let Xiyue marry, even if Xueyin is married, the Ai family will have to think about it."

Obviously, Queen Mother Zhao's words did not comfort Gong Ziyu, but made him angry. Pointing to Queen Mother Zhao, she said: "Queen Mother, Zhao State was attacked by Qiang Qin. If it weren't for me, Qi State, Zhao State would have died sooner." It was wiped out, today you waited for you to turn back and play with me like this, it is clear that you don’t take my country of Qi seriously. Today, the prince of Japan put his words here, no matter Xiyue or Xueyin, I want both of them .”

Gong Ziyu stood aside, with his hands behind his back, looking at Queen Mother Zhao arrogantly.

"Snapped"

Empress Dowager Zhao jumped up against the case, pointed at Gong Ziyu and scolded: "Zizi is rude, you are really deceiving me, there is no one in Zhao country, please come and ask Gong Ziyu to go."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Gong Ziyu then got up to leave, and at the end he still didn't forget to take a closer look at Zhao Xiyue, his eyes revealed unwillingness, he clenched his fists and walked away.

"Queen, why do you treat Gong Ziyu like that? Isn't it that I will marry Gong Ziyu next month? Why do you contradict your promises? It's all because of you, Zhao Xiyue, a bastard, it's never good to meet you. Seeing that there was nowhere to vent, Zhao Xueyin pointed at Zhao Xiyue and started to curse.

"Xueyin, nonsense. Gong Ziyu looks down on our Zhao country so much. If you marry him, how can you live well? You don't need such a man." Because of Gong Ziyu's previous behaviors, the Queen Mother Zhao disliked him very much, and there was still a little bit of pain in her heart. in anger.However, instead of comforting her, Zhao Xueyin wanted to marry Gong Ziyu wholeheartedly, so she underestimated her a little.

"But my mother is already sixteen this year. If I don't get married, I, I..."

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a woman must marry at the age of sixteen, otherwise it will be regarded as a bad omen.This year, Zhao Xueyin is just 16 years old, and the marriage was arranged a few years ago when King Zhao Huiwen was alive, so Zhao Xueyin has never discussed marriage with other princes and grandchildren, and has been waiting to marry Gongzi Yu wholeheartedly. Previously, Gong Ziyu's marriage proposal was just a formality.But this time, being played by Queen Mother Zhao in such a way, the marriage is about to blow up, and she is getting older.

"Even if you don't marry Prince Yu of Qi State, the queen mother will find a good marriage for you. There are too many good men in other countries. Are you afraid that you won't be able to get married if you are my dignified Princess Zhao State? It's really a joke. Xue Yin is not the queen mother who said you, you are the princess of a country, you must pay attention to the rules and decency in everything, this time you are really not as good as Xiyue. Although Xiyue is your little sister, but she misses Lord Chang'an wholeheartedly. As a big sister, you, It really disappoints the queen mother that she at least cares about her marriage in a meaningful way."

Empress Dowager Zhao sighed, subconsciously looked at Zhao Xiyue who was sitting beside her with her head bowed, and nodded towards her: "Xiyue can't help you have such a heart, you go back first. It's just that Gong Zizheng is still Qin Guo Young master, don't get too close."

"promise!"

Zhao Xiyue just raised her head and ordered Chunlan to push her out.

And Zhao Xueyin looked at Zhao Xiyue very dissatisfied, those eyes clearly wanted to see through Zhao Xiyue.

After leaving Qingquan Palace, Chunlan pushed Zhao Xiyue back to Liyuan.

The place where Zhao Xiyue and Gong Zizheng lived was the Pear Garden, which got its name mainly because the surrounding area was full of pear trees.There is only a pear grove between the two.It's just that the pear orchard is in depression during these nine cold days.

"Princess, why are you doing this?"

Chunlan hesitated to speak, and pushed her to move on.Chunlan is different from Chunxiang. According to the memory of the original owner, Chunlan is Mrs. Xuanhua's confidant, and the only person left by Mrs. Xuanhua to Zhao Xiyue. She is devoted to her wholeheartedly.

"Chunlan, I definitely won't be a concubine. Gong Ziyu is a lustful person. If he is not the person I admire, I will not marry him. As for other things, I will discuss it in the future." Zhao Xiyue rejected Gong Ziyu this time, although Queen Mother Zhao refused to marry because of anger, but after this incident, many other bad things will definitely happen.After all, this is a marriage between the two countries, how can it be stopped by the words of the Queen Mother Zhao's family.

"Princess, this servant is just thinking, if you reject the marriage this time, the eldest princess will definitely come to look for you, isn't it? Last time you sent Chunxiang away, she belonged to the eldest princess, hey..." Chunlan sighed again in one breath.

"Chunlan, do you still remember how my mother and concubine died like this?"

Zhao Xiyue's mother and concubine was the young concubine Xuanhua, who was the most beloved concubine of King Zhao Huiwen Zhao He back then, but not long after Zhao He passed away, she was buried with her death.It's just that as Mrs. Xuanhua, she gave birth to Zhao Xiyue again, so she doesn't have to die.

There has been burial for emperors since ancient times, but there has been no tradition of burial in China since ancient times, and concubines who have children do not need to be buried.Mrs. Xuanhua was an exception, she was born with Zhao Xiyue, and she was arranged to be buried as a sacrifice.

According to the memory of the original owner, Mrs. Xuanhua was extremely unwilling to be buried, and it was the Queen Mother Zhao who forced her to death.

"I know, Mrs. Xuanhua is willing to die to let the princess live well. The Queen Mother Zhao also promised to give the princess a good home. Princess, what do you mean..." Chunlan remembered the dress that Zhao Xiyue specially put on today. The long dress of lotus root color and brocade and hundreds of flowers is to remind the Queen Mother Zhao.

"Yes, that's what I mean. At the beginning, the Queen Mother Zhao made a promise to the concubine mother. Although she is gone, the Queen Mother Zhao is still there. As for the marriage between Gong Ziyu and the eldest princess, it will definitely not happen." Zhao Xiyue waved He waved his hand, signaling Chunlan to continue pushing her forward.

She remembered very clearly that the daughter of the Queen Mother Zhao did not marry into the Qi State, but Zhao Xueyin was recorded in the history books as marrying the Prince Xi of the State of Yan, who later became King Xiaocheng of Yan and became the Queen of Yan, not Qi. queen of the country.The two men did not succeed in history.

The master and servant walked forward slowly, and finally they were about to return home, but they heard the noise again, a woman's voice, the woman's voice was very sharp, as if complaining about something, occasionally accompanied by crying Voice.Since Lin Daiyu came to Zhao State, it has been staged almost every night.She also learned later that the woman was the famous Zhao Ji in history, the biological mother of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, and her deeds were also quite wonderful, and she was later honored as the empress dowager.

However, in Lin Daiyu's view, Zhao Ji is also a complete tragedy. Because she looks a little more beautiful, she was valued by Lu Buwei, dedicated to Ying Yiren, and gave birth to Gong Zizheng. Neither Lu Buwei nor Ying Yiren ever Love her, is greedy for her beauty.And while Lu Buwei was coveting her beauty, he mostly used her as an investment.Many people in later generations believed that the first emperor Yingzheng was originally the son of Lu Buwei, not the son of Ying Yiren at all.

And now she is living in Zhao State with Gong Zizheng, facing such a difficult life, she gradually cannot bear it.

"Chunlan, push me to have a look."

For some reason, Zhao Xiyue suddenly wanted to visit Gong Zizheng. She wanted to know what the famous and brutal Qin Shihuang in history looked like.

"Princess, but the son is in charge of the state of Qin, you..."

"Just push me!"

Zhao Xiyue can't take care of so much today, as far as she is concerned, it is a time of great controversy.Gong Zizheng will unify the six countries sooner or later, she has no reason to be an enemy of this person.Now that you have the opportunity, why not go find out.

The quilts of the two were very close, and Chunlan pushed Zhao Xiyue to the door of Gong Zizheng. At this time, Gong Zizheng was washing Zhao Ji's face, and Zhao Ji looked devastated.

Zhao Xiyue just stood there looking at Gong Zizheng. She never thought that a generation of emperors, like ordinary children at this time, would personally wash up his mother. His hands were still bleeding and there were scratches on the back of his hands. .

"your hands……"

After a long silence, Zhao Xiyue pointed to Gong Zizheng's hand and asked.

Hearing the voice, Gong Zizheng looked at Zhao Xiyue indifferently. He had seen this woman before, she was the princess of Zhao country, but she was not favored, and had been abandoned in this pear garden where no one cared about her.

"nothing."

Gong Zizheng put his hands behind his back subconsciously, and Zhao Ji also heard the voice, and hugged Gong Zizheng in her arms.

"If you want to arrest, arrest me, don't arrest my child, I will go with you, don't disturb the politics!"

It seems that Zhao Ji has become stupid, even a little crazy, because she is tortured by life.But as a mother, she is strong. In this situation she thought was dangerous, her first reaction was to protect Gong Zizheng, wrap him in her arms, and block him.

"Aunt, it's okay, she's not a bad person."

Gong Zizheng patted Zhao Ji's hand, served her well, and comforted her.

"My aunt's health is not good, the princess is not used to it, but it's getting late now, the princess, please go back." Although Gong Zizheng is young, he is calm and polite, and his whole body is downcast, which does not reduce the air of a king.
