Chapter 21: The Third Glass of Wine in the Round House
Ying Zheng drank a little higher, and when he was helped into the newly given Qixi Palace, he held on to the table and sat firmly away from the people's hands. Zhao Gao, who sent Yingzheng in, bowed down and quietly retreated.
This is my wedding night, the wedding night of being taken as a concubine.
Thinking of Xianggong in my heart, I didn't dare to get close to Yingzheng.
To tell the truth, not only is Tian Tianxi a virgin, but even my soul in the 21st century has never been exposed to men and women, so I resist because of justice and fear because of my heart.
Ying Zheng let out a breath of wine and looked up at me, and I hurriedly opened my mouth to stop his summoning.
As soon as he asks me to do something, I must do it, and not doing it is disobeying the king's command, and it is a "forgivable" murderous crime.
"The king drank an extraordinary amount of wine, and he drank a lot of people's wine tonight, but he couldn't drink the slave's concubine's, and the slave concubine toasted the king with three cups."
I poured two glasses, served one to Yingzheng, and served one myself.
"The first cup of wine, the slave concubine thanked the king for not killing."
I drank it all, watched Yingzheng do it, and poured it full for him.
"This cup, six years of quiet time given by King Xie."
Although it was six years of waiting for death, along the way, it also made me feel restless and precipitate a lot.
I raised my glass over the top, facing Yingzheng, thinking of the Xianggong thousands of miles away, and said: "The last cup is a qiē that I have spent my youth guarding." ”
I wanted to finish this qiē calmly, but the last cup of relief still made me cry in the new house.
Ying Zheng didn't move with the third glass of wine, and his originally smiling expression froze on his face.
"It seems that the widowed Mrs. Xi has a lot of things hidden in her heart," Ying Zheng squinted at me, and asked, "Six years is enough to keep you guarding?" Is it late or early? ”
I know, I'm drunk and talking, and I'm in trouble.
"The State of Qi is already in the bag of the State of Qin, and the king has promised to take special care of it, and the concubines have completed their mission." At this time, the strong evidence that can convince Yingzheng of my abnormal behavior is that in addition to confessing to the father-in-law, there is only Tian Tianxi's homesickness.
"Really? Your mission is to dedicate the State of Qi to the State of Qin? Of course, he didn't believe what he understood.
I smiled tenderly, hoping to deflect some of his suspicions. "Naturally, it is good that Qi Min is safe and sound, and there is enough time for them to prepare."
"Prepare what?" A cruel message flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and I think I had made him feel uneasy.
"Prepare to be called the people of Great Qin." I can only continue to stand firm in my words.
"Hahaha - do you think you're really shrewd? Mrs. Creek - the widow is just a joke, and you are so nervous? Ying Zheng relieved his coldness, did not pick out what he thought in his heart, but continued to act: "The widowed Mrs. Xi is far less calm than the legend." ”
I know that my third glass of wine, which I have no intention of being sad, has already aroused the suspicion of Yingzheng.
"The slave concubine is an ordinary heart, but it is only because she entered the palace of King Qin and accompanied the king that she is more unique, which disappoints the king."
The more disappointed Yingzheng is, the better, and it's better to be completely uninterested in me and just want to be sent away.
"I didn't see that the arrogant Qi Xi was a widow, and Mrs. Xi still had a sweet side, and the widow was very pleased." Ying Zheng actually smiled.
What's wrong with me, is there something wrong with Yingzheng or is my own way of thinking wrong, why does the evolution of things always go in the opposite direction of what I imagined?
I must dispel Yingzheng's germinating joy and let him not see my brilliance and meekness, even if it is just a pretext from him.
"The slave concubine is just to survive, whether what he said is right or wrong, please be sympathetic to the king." I'm right, I'm really just trying to survive.
Ying Zheng's face really changed, as an emperor who stood up to the sky and a woman who pounced on his body layer by layer, it was explained that it was a very angry thing to please him in order to survive, anyway, Ying Zheng was very unhappy.
"Are you really..."Ying Zheng paused, gritted his teeth and tore out his voice, "Are you really stupid or too shrewd?" If it weren't for the good mood of the widow today, you would have backfired at the moment and gone against your own purpose. ”
Ying Zheng means that he forgave me this time?
But my purpose is to make him not forgive me and not kill me.
"Did the concubine upset the king?" I looked at Ying Zheng in a panic, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, I would really die as cautiously.
In fact, the form of the companion is what I performed, a careless person will really die in Huangquan, not just talking.
"If what the widow said just now was a joke, then you really can't make the widow happy at the moment." Ying Zheng's eyes are complicated, so complicated that I can't see the information clearly at a glance, but it's so complicated that I don't dare to raise my eyebrows to look at it carefully.
One thing is for sure, Ying Zheng saw that I was deliberately swaying his feelings and making him unhappy.
Anyway, he's really unhappy now, and my goal is half accomplished, and the next half is for me to send him away unharmed.
I was alarmist, and I didn't wait for courtesy, sat down at the other end of the table, and said, "The slave concubine knows that the thesis and wisdom are destined to be seen through by the king, but the slave concubine wants to say something heartfelt to the king, and I hope the king will not blame." ”
I poured a cup of tea, didn't let Yingzheng drink it alone.
"The slave concubine is now the princess of Qin, and she should devote herself to the joy of the king, but--don't hide it from the king," I couldn't say and had to say: "Although the Qi country is weak in military strength but rich in wealth, the slave concubine was poured a lot of superiority into playing small when she was the princess of Qi State, and in the eyes of the slave concubine, being small..."
I can't go on, some words are best up to now, in the eyes of Yingzheng, I also have to have my shame for "disobeying" the common sense that women are slaves and concubines.
"Hmph~~~" Ying Zheng sneered, looked at the closed door of the dormitory, and was so annoyed that he was speechless.
In Yingzheng's eyes, I probably made him a concubine because he was extraordinarily gracious.
"The slave concubine knows that the slave concubine is not qualified to make the king angry, but," I knelt at the feet of Yingzheng with all my body bowed: "But the slave concubine has a heart that is more than half empty, and the slave concubine is also very painful." ”
If in the 21st century, I would think that bowing to people other than my elders is something more humiliating and unbearable than death, but today, when death is so close that it can be achieved in minutes, if kneeling can achieve the goal of life, then I would not be able to kneel for a long time.
"If you don't know how to change the rules that are a foregone conclusion, you will be more miserable."
Ying Zheng played with the silver cup twice, and couldn't wait for me to beg for mercy, so he slapped the cup on the table with one palm.
"Soon you'll know what the widow is talking about."
Ying Zheng left angrily, and I stood up straight while kneeling, looking at the deformed silver cup that he patted.
In fact, I can understand now what he is talking about: a lady with the rank of a young envoy will not be able to stay with the king on the wedding night, and then fall out of favor for a long time, which will be even more tragic than waiting for Princess Qixi to wait for life and death to be decided.
It's not that I have a sense of disgust with Yingzheng, but I really have a husband in my heart, and I have always warned myself not to think about other people anymore.
