It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

"Book of Rites: Weddings of Scholars": "When a woman proposes to marry, she hairpins her hair with ceremony, and calls her by name." "Book of Rites: Nei Principles" "A woman...does her hairpins every ten to five years."

When Ying Hehua turned sixteen, he got his haircut, which was neither too early nor too late.

In fact, getting a royal princess and hairdo is not a very grand event.

However, Qin and Chu once again entered into a marriage alliance, which was Qin's first show of goodwill after it destroyed the Three Jin Dynasties.

There had been quiet discussions in the streets for a long time, and many of them were people other than Qin people.

"Have you heard? Qin and Chu have made a marriage alliance. Which Qin princess do you think it is?" A Korean asked quietly in the wine shop.

"I heard that she is the eldest princess. The eldest princess has been away from home since she was a child. Not long ago, our king took His Highness back to Xianyang. Isn't this intention obvious?"

"I said you new comers don't understand our king. Since the king came to the throne, he has adopted vigorous and resolute methods. If you ask me, this marriage alliance just gives the people of Chu a traditional face. It's just a show. It might work. Choose the noble daughter of the clan.”

"No, no." A Chu man waved his hand proudly.

Because the pronunciation is very different from that of these Central Plains countries, as soon as he spoke it, everyone could tell where he was coming from.

At present, the country that can best compete with Qin seems to be Chu, which has a vast territory and abundant resources.

Everyone was waiting for him to speak.

But he remained silent.

"Brother, you are talking about it."

They heard Chu Ren open his mouth, smile at them and say: "It should be Princess Yong'an."

"Hey!" The Qin people took the lead in cheering, "You are in a dream!" He patted his clothes and left.

A newcomer from Zhao interjected: "Princess Yong'an?" "Beauty."

"Say it as if you've seen it before."

Zhao Ren sat down and remembered the distant glimpse at Longtai Palace in Handan. He was a small official who was sealed in the palace and saw the beauty and cruelty of Yong'an, but that was all in the past. Now, all that was left in his mind was the pride of having seen more of the world than others, and he straightened his voice, "Of course I say that only after I have seen it!"

This wine shop is the legacy of Lu Buwei, the former Prime Minister of the country. It is managed by a large official of the Zhao State and is in conflict with Huai Qing who came from Shu.

Because it is run by foreigners, even though it is Xianyang, most of the scholars who come here to drink and chat are somewhat powerful, so naturally their words have no boundaries and are much bolder. When they got together, they not only cared about the court, but also looked at it.

"Let me tell you a funny story." Zhao Ren said with a smile, "Princess Yong'an loves to recruit aides."

"What staff?"

"Of course he is the kind of staff you think of."

Immediately, everyone suppressed but still burst into meaningful laughter.

The Korean just now answered, "But it is said that Princess Yong'an is not a simple person. She has been held in the palm of the king's hand since she was a child. She was immediately given a title and a city upon her return from Handan." The Korean lowered his voice, "I even heard that, She is still participating in politics in Fuqiu Palace. By the way, do you know the recent events in Wei?"

"The new King of Wei?" Someone whispered, "I heard from people in the palace that the King of Wei once openly presented Princess Yong'an with ritual utensils at a banquet."

"Shhh. The King of Wei was just a small envoy to Qin before. An unpopular young master came back and became the king. Then the Wei Kingdom was destroyed."

"...Then this is serious."

At this point, someone remembered something new, "Princess Yong'an's words can make a fellow court official kneel down in the street."

When they realized that the official they were talking about was County Supervisor Li Xian, who had a reputation for being cold and stern, they were immediately stopped before they could finish their words, "Shh. I don't want to die!"

Zhao Ren snorted, "What's the point? I also saw Yong'an murder someone in Longtai Palace with my own eyes. Han Cang, you all must know that Yong'an shot over with an arrow and the man died."

……

Everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Consciously left the table and left.

Only the Chu people raised their heads and held their chests high, "Since she is a princess that the King of Qin values ​​​​so much, then she needs a princess like this to show off the goodness of Chu and Qin."

Obviously, when a princess's status is high enough, her power, or herself is enough to influence the survival of a country, people will naturally ignore her "lovely news" that is criticized.

If it is really this princess who marries Chu. It can be seen that Yingzheng's focus is either to get close to the Chu State, or he will... destroy the Chu State.

Scholars naturally think more.

But most people regard this as the end of the war, and they are eagerly looking forward to the princess of Qin going to Chu as soon as possible.

The night Xu Zhi returned to Xianyang, Ying Zheng summoned her.

"Father."

"He Hua, come here." There is a copper seal on Ying Zheng's case, which is in the shape of a three-layer platform with bridge buttons and small seal characters engraved on it.

'Yangzi' is engraved on it.

When Ying Zheng told her the small print of his personal agreement, all the blood in Xu Zhi's body froze.

"Hehua has been weak since childhood. I originally wanted to name you Yangzi, but later I thought that this name was not very gentle, so I gave up. Yin means water, Qin means water, and the word Yinman, I didn't give it to anyone else, so I gave it up. It’s reserved for you.”

"Father." Xu Zhi was horrified. She tried her best to suppress her emotions, but she couldn't avoid the panic.

There was a lot of blood in front of her eyes again!
Is it still impossible to avoid this fate? It is still the most tragic kind!
"Howard?"

She looked at Ying Zheng intently, raised her hand as rudely as she did when she was a child, and grasped Ying Zheng's arm tightly, "Father, this name..."

"But you don't like it?" Ying Zheng said what she wanted to say first. He touched her hair lovingly, "Your mother-in-law is right. He Hua has a warm temperament, unlike when he was a child. Now he may not like such quiet little words."

Xu Zhi slowly raised her head and pursed her lips. Not only did she not like it, she was frightened to death!
What she feared was not her name but her fate.

If she was yelled at all day long, she would really go crazy.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay if I simply indulge you for a long time. He Hua can take whatever he likes and it will be included in the genealogy."

Xu Zhi never expected that Ying Zheng would be so enlightened, and such enlightened parents might be rare in the 21st century.

She inevitably let go of the shackles of excessive consideration and smiled at Ying Zheng, "He Hua sincerely wishes his father, the Queen, mother and concubine to live a happy and worry-free life. Does the word "偁做" feel good to my father?" "偁嫚." Ying Zheng read it again.

When Xu Zhi saw that Ying Zheng didn't express his position immediately, she let go of her restraint and risked her life. As long as she didn't call him Yin Man, she could do anything. She said coquettishly: "Father, this is what my daughter likes."

Ying Zheng had never been begged like this before, or almost no one dared to shake his arm like this and ask softly for something beside him.

The word "偁偮" (yú) means extremely beautiful clothes.

Probably when he was a child in Handan, he heard many people laugh or mock about his mother. He didn't like any words that emphasized appearance.

Although He Hua looked at her with a pleading attitude, she rarely showed such a transgressive attitude since her last illness.

Above family affection, Ying Zheng has almost no sense.

"Father," the daughter looked at him with eyes that seemed to really reject the word "yin".

He would also compromise for her. Like all fathers in the world, they will compromise for their daughters.

The haircut meant that He Hua really wanted to fulfill the engagement, and Ying Zheng couldn't bear it.

"Okay." Ying Zheng said, and he placed another small seal in her palm. "The New Seal of Yangzi can adjust the royal family's troops in Yongcheng, and can also work with Li Si to instruct the dispatch of people from the secret pavilion. No matter what. Whether you go to Chu this time or not, this is part of the dowry given to you by me."

Pro-military, secret pavilion. The heavy copper seal increases the power.

The Heavenly Official chose this day very well.

The sky was filled with red clouds, the accumulated clouds opened up, and the setting sun was like blood.

Zheng Li tied up her daughter's long hair with her deft hands. A black phoenix gold hairpin swam on the waterfall of green silk, and she wore a white emerald ring around her neck.

The skirt is wrapped around, the dark vermilion and black fringes tighten the waist, and the jade ring hangs down. The Quju is inherently self-cultivation, graceful and graceful, just like the figure in the painting.

Her red makeup has faded, and her face is gorgeous. A light dab of cinnabar on the forehead will make the face more smooth and smooth. This is a kind of beauty that is completely different from that of her mother-in-law. It is breathtaking and as bright as spring flowers.

Her beauty is comparable to that of Helen, and worthy of a beautiful country.

Ying Hehua and Ji Zhili immediately participated in the next court meeting.

Ying Zheng took her out of the car, and the sunset spread out in front of Zhangtai Palace. They welcomed the king and the princess. Everything seemed to be stagnant, shining vigorously on every courtier who participated in the alliance.

The moment Li Xian saw her, her dazzling appearance made him dazzled. Her eyes suddenly met with his, and then passed gently, just like the first time he met her. Then they missed her, and she slid down a ripple in his heart that would never calm down, a turbulent wave.

The sweet liquid immediately surged up into the throat.

Li Xian completely understood that he had fallen into this situation and could no longer look back.

Li Xian himself probably never imagined that he, who was originally disciplined by egoism and that other people's lives were far less important than his own interests and career, would one day be willing to pave the way for another person and use up all his worth. .

In the end, he even gambled on what little sincerity he had left. Even if he lost, he still risked his life.

He remembered many things.

I thought of Ying Hehua, and also thought of Xu Zhi.

Perhaps, they are the same person.

In his last life, before he was imprisoned, he did not just sit back and wait for death, except for regret.

The last thing he did was not for himself or his father.

But for Ying Hehua.

He lied to Xu Zhi.

He lied to her from the beginning when he said that Ying Hehua died of illness.

In his previous life, he didn't know that Ying Hehua had his soul taken away by Ying Long.

Ying Hehua was lost among the many children of Ying Zheng. Before her death, she did not get married.

Li Xian rushed to the Lishan Imperial Tomb.

She didn't deserve to die without her body intact.

He shouldered all the blame for killing the builder of the imperial mausoleum for Zhao Gao.

For three days, his hands were full of blood just to bring her out intact. Then, under the pretext of tracking down Fusu's old party, he personally buried her in a place called Lintao.

No one knows why one coffin is empty?

No one knows why there is only one bronze sword left in it?

Before his death, apart from confessing in front of Meng Yi, Li Xian probably only did this one thing.

Then, he burned the craftsmen's albums and took all the secrets of the imperial mausoleum to the tomb.

And this life should also be a sacrifice that he is willing to suffer.

Li Xian really wants to learn how to love someone.

It's a pity that it's too clumsy, too selfish, too old-fashioned and too deep.

Now, the only thing he can figure out, the only thing he has learned is to sacrifice his life and blood.

Now that things have come to a point, he is willing to perish alone.

There is no other way.
