Chapter 1: The King Arrives
"Princess, princess... The princess is not good..."Luo Cong shouted and broke in, found me in the hall meditating on the bronze mirror, and knelt on the ground recklessly: "Gong, princess..."
Luo Onion's whole body was shaking in horror.
"Why are you so flustered, what's going on?" Startled by her, I squatted down to look at her pale little face, patted her on the back to relieve her, I was afraid that she would be scared out of her before she could say anything.
"King Qin wants to come to Qi Guofang at night."
"What?"
I still have to come, although I have been prepared for a long time, but after living in the Qin Palace for so many years, I was still panicked when I suddenly received this news, and the whole person who was in turmoil in my heart couldn't calm down.
"Princess, the order will come soon, and the King of Qin is about to attack the Qi Kingdom..."Luo Cong's sobs mixed with fear soothed from the shock and cried: "Princess, we will be filled in tomorrow morning... Princess, the Kingdom of Qi is about to die..."
Has the time really come for the country of Qi?
I clenched my fists and dug my nails into the flesh to press my pounding heart.
"The country of Qi is not dead yet, who are you crying for?" I stood up straight and scolded her, to strengthen my guts.
The cry of the onion was even more suppressed by my reprimand.
I couldn't bear it, so I softened my tone and said, "Knowing that this qiē is not a day or two, be calm, the people of Qi are not the masters who can be scared to death." What to do, what to do, straighten your back to meet the blessings and misfortunes. ”
Luo Onion was shocked by me, and he kowtowed and withdrew, leaving me alone in the house.
This is the palace of the king of Qin, the twenty-second year of Yingzheng, about 225 B.C., this is the sixth year of my coming. What, who am I?
Sadly, I don't know.
I really don't know.
On Tuesday, October 24, 2012, my birthday, on a whim, I went to Wutong Garden, Fenghuang Town, Shandong Province, not far from home, to secretly make a wish, hoping that I would board Noah's Ark before the end of 2012.
At that moment, the autumn night when the stars and moon were in the sky suddenly thundered, lightning swept across my body, and the thunder stunned my consciousness, and I fainted to death inexplicably.
There was a sparse sound outside the door, thinking that someone was coming.
I waited with bated breath.
"Princess, Princess Ji Wan of Yan Kingdom... No, it was King Qin who asked his wife to arrive. Luo Onion's voice was much calmer, and it came softly from outside the door.
"Got it."
I tidied up my appearance and frightened face, and went out to greet him. "Let Madame please." With her right hand pressed against her left hand and her hand hidden in her long and wide sleeves, Ji Juan and I performed a simple etiquette to each other to let her enter the house.
"Please." Ji Wan returned the salute.
Ji Juan is the princess of Yan Kingdom, and now she is the wife of King Qin, with the rank of young envoy.
In 231 B.C., six years ago, the King of Qin handed the "Namei Book" to the Six Kingdoms, asking the Six Kingdoms to select the most beautiful and talented royal women in their own countries to enter the Qin Palace as concubines, so on the same day, there were five women like me who were sent to Xianyang City, and Ji Juan was one of them.
"Sister Xi knows the rules, so now I heard that King Qin was going to issue an order to be fortunate to Qi Guofang, and only my sister could come to deliver a glass of wine." Ji Juan gave the servant a look, and the servant brought the delicate wine utensils in his hand.
The king of Qin taboos the six countries to come and go too closely, except for the concubines of the Qin state, although they are powerless and powerless women who live together in the Qin palace, but in the end, in the end, the countries are dedicated to the king of Qin, people from outside Qin, although Qin did not explicitly prohibit us from excessive exchanges, but everyone is not stupid, and they can avoid it on weekdays, and rarely reunite.
Ji Juan and I are different from other concubines in that we were included in the Qin Palace together, because we lived in the same side hall when she was not named a lady, so it was inevitable that we would be closer.
"Sister Juan's wine is enough to warm my sister's heart." I forcibly restrained my feelings, trying to squeeze out a smile.
Ji Wan sighed secretly.
"Although my sister has experienced it, she really doesn't know the mystery, and she really has no advice to admonish." She sighed empty and said regretfully: "If there really is, my sister will not see Wei Guoji's sister a few months ago..." ”
From the year we and the other princesses of the four kingdoms arrived, the happiness of the king of Qin became a nightmare for us and the people of the six kingdoms, because every time the king of Qin stepped into a palace, the next day the master of the palace filled in the pit with all the people, and the country from which the master came was immediately slaughtered by troops.
Ji Juan was fortunate last year, although the king of Qin ordered to send troops to Yan State the day after being fortunate like the other princesses of the four countries, but she was the only envoy princess who was not killed by filling the pit.
"Where fate comes, who can resist, no one can escape. My sister has thorns on the road ahead, and my sister may not be able to accompany her often, so she is blessed with wine. "I glanced at Luo Cong, and Luo Cong brought the wine placed in the palace and presented it to Ji Xuan.
I'm afraid of death, I can't ask for someone to talk to about my fears, but Ji Juan and I are the most despised imaginary pawns in the Qin Palace, even if Ji Juan has been named a lady, it has no weight at all, and talking too much will only consume my last time in vain.
"Okay," Ji Juan was a little emotional, perhaps because she was about to struggle alone in the Qin Palace. Her eyes were red, and her sleeves covered her cup to invite me to raise it, and she drank it up.
I drank it all in one gulp.
"Sister stay." Before I got up to see off Ji Juan, she put down the wine glass and hurried away, and her posture of hiding her face could see her sadness.
Death is coming towards me, or rather, towards my spirit and Tian Tianxi's body.
After a thousand years, I didn't expect that after years of low and trembling, I didn't have time to look around the world and be suffocated to death.
"Princess, it's time to wash up." Luo Cong was followed by four or five old women, all staring at me with bright eyes.
I knew that they couldn't wait to look at me so that they would have time to dress me up in the best possible shape for their King Qin's amusement.
"Princess Xi, you are tired, and when you are bathing, listen to the old slave recount the bed etiquette of serving the king for you."
The two grandmothers carefully checked my body three or four times, rubbed a few times from time to time, this is already disturbing enough, and I have listened to the scriptures of men and women countless times at this time and chattered again...
"Mama," does anyone care that I might be dying? "This princess is already transparent, if the body is clean enough, you can put on makeup for this princess."
The flow of people hurrying through the hall like watching the lights made the hall extremely nervous, and I really wasn't in the mood to listen to any nonsense that had nothing to do with life and death. "Don't make a noise about anything." I closed my eyes and let them fiddle with my entire body.
I want to cry and can't cry, it's so boring!
"Princess, I heard that few people have entered King Qin's palace for several years, so I want to pamper the princess in our Qi Guofang tonight." Coming out of the bathing hall, Luo Cong whispered to me: "It's all in order, what else does the princess need?" ”
The sweat in the palms of my hands can already be condensed into water stains and flow out, but there are too many people around me, so I can only mechanically be the princess of Qi Kingdom.
Desperately swallowing the dry and almost non-existent saliva, I was even more nervous when I walked into the dormitory: all the curtains and utensils were renewed, and the place where I had lived for several years suddenly became unfamiliar again.
"Shallot." I gasped a few times and looked for Luo Onion's hand to hold it, thinking that it was useless, and then hesitated to let go. "Let's all go down."
I stood at the door of the dormitory and didn't go inside, my mind swelled again and again, and I was numb with pain.
"The king has arrived!"
