The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 286 Purple Girl
Zi Nu sighed in her heart. She and her sisters had finally made a name for themselves. They had the protection of their teacher and were not afraid of any difficulties. Now they just wanted to live a stable life. How come a new opportunity suddenly appeared?

Zi Nu really didn't seek any merit, nor did she seek any relationship with the King of Qin. She just wanted nothing to happen.

I hope the king only comes out for a stroll occasionally, goes back when he has fun, and everything goes smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

Zi Nu is quite satisfied with her current life and doesn't want any changes, at least not yet.

After all, I have just settled down less than half a year. Even if I don’t like ordinary life, I am not bored now. I am not mentally prepared to be caught in the vortex again.

The King of Qin is the biggest vortex in the world and it is too dangerous for him. It is unwise to rush in without any preparation.

Just as Zi Nu was trying her best to control her chaotic thoughts, her younger sister ran over without caring about her image, extremely hurried and out of breath: "Sister, sister, go quickly."

Zi Nu hurried forward to comfort her and said softly, "What's wrong, Hong Yu? Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

Hong Yu finally caught her breath and said, "Sister, the noble on the third floor wants to see you."

Zi Nu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and asked, "Did he tell her why?"

Hong Yu shook her head: "I don't know, but it seems that there is a noble who appreciates the incense that my sister mixes."

Zi Nu felt relieved and nodded: "Okay, I got it, I'll go right away, Hong Yu, you stay here and watch, don't make any mistakes!"

Hongyu nodded repeatedly.

Zi Nu adjusted her thoughts and quickly walked to the third floor. She was allowed to enter only after being searched by two female guards.

After entering, Zi Nu was very curious about what the King of Qin looked like. She just pretended to look up casually and immediately bowed: "I, the humble servant Zi Nu, greet you, my lord. May you be well." Ying Zheng did not reveal her identity, so Zi Nu would naturally not be stupid enough to reveal it.

In just a moment, Zi Nu had seen everyone clearly. She had met Yan Jin several times, but now Lord Yan Jin could only stand beside another stunning beauty and a young girl.

That stunningly beautiful lady was able to sit side by side with the King of Qin, but she was a little older and had an aura of breathtaking nobility. She must be the Queen Mother.

Zhao Ji's beauty was unparalleled, and Zi Nu felt inferior to her.

I secretly praised you in my heart. I have long heard that Your Majesty has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and is a symbol of the sun and the moon. Today, I see that your reputation is well-deserved and your majesty is extraordinary.

The king and his son are both of the same caliber, as graceful as a jade or a jade.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Please stand up." Seeing that Wei Liao's disciple was such a beauty, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little bit of favor towards her. As an ordinary woman, Zhao Ji was inevitably influenced by appearance, and women also like to look at beautiful women.

The first impression is always important, and what determines the first impression is often appearance. With a good appearance, it is easy to go through a lot in life. There are not many people in the world who are not obsessed with appearance, and there are too many cases where facial features are more important than other outlooks.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji are different.

His favorability increased by five points.

The Zi Nu today is no longer the same as she was in Zi Lan Xuan. She is now wearing revealing clothes and her seductive temperament is gone.

Today, Zi Nu is quite beautiful and refined, with only light makeup on. Her eyeshadow is still lavender, but the seductive butterfly wing pattern under her eyes is gone. Her long purple hair is scattered down, tied only with a pink ribbon.

It can be seen that she really likes purple. She is wearing a long-sleeved water skirt, the overall tone of which is blue-purple. The color is a gradient of blue and purple, not too deep, but rather elegant and beautiful, giving a feeling of being untainted by the mud.

Having escaped from the quagmire where you have no control over your own affairs, you can try to do what you can choose and live with more dignity with your friends around you. No wonder it was renamed Zi Lian Hall.

In this chaotic world, it is not a woman's fault to be helpless. Zi Nu slowly stood up and stood with her head bowed. She was humble and graceful. Seeing this, Zhao Ji liked her even better. Well, she was almost the same as Ying Zheng.

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "What a good child! Wei Qing has accepted another good disciple. Come forward and let me have a look."

"It is indeed Queen Mother Zhao!"

Zi Nu walked forward slowly and said softly, "I don't deserve the Queen Mother's praise. I am just a nominal disciple of the teacher. It is a great honor to see the Queen Mother and the King today."

"I'm not in the palace today. I'm just out for a stroll with the king. Don't be too formal."

"Did you mix all the incense in this room?"

Zi Nu replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is something I made. It's just a little bit of a minor dish, not worth mentioning. It's definitely far inferior to what's in the palace."

The more Zhao Ji looked at him, the more she liked him: "My child is too modest. Your craftsmanship is not inferior to those in the palace. We each have our own strengths."

"What is the name of the incense in this room?"

"My Queen Mother, this fragrance is called 'Winter Wind Jade Dew', and its characteristics are refreshing, pleasant, refreshing and soothing."

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded: "The name is good, the fragrance is just as its name suggests, do you have other incense?"

Zi Nu smiled slightly: "There are still a few more. It is my honor to be liked by the Queen Mother. I will prepare some of each for the Queen Mother and the King later. It is justified for the Queen Mother to appreciate them."

Ying Zheng looked at this beauty for a long time. Seeing her happily chatting with Zhao Ji, he really admired her. Of course he liked her appearance, but she had slept so much and was just pretty. It was difficult to arouse Ying Zheng's favor.

Who has a special interest in white water?

In other words, only wine like Zi Nu, which is like aged wine, is worth tasting.

Just like Zi Nu now, this woman has never gone with the flow. No matter what the situation is, she always persists firmly. She has long realized the cruelty of the world, but has not integrated into it.

Just like living in Han, you are orchid, and living in Qin, you are lotus.

Orchid is the gentleman among flowers, with noble qualities, simple and quiet, elegant and fresh, representing nobleness, steadfastness and virtue.

Confucius said: "The orchid grows in the secluded valley, and it does not lose its fragrance even if there is no one around." Qu Yuan said: "I will wear the Jiangli and Bizhi and weave the autumn orchid as a pendant."

The lotus is also the gentleman among flowers. Its purity can be summed up in one word: it grows out of the mud but remains unstained, and washes in the clear water but remains uncoquettish.

They are all symbols of nobility.

The world is bad, but we must make it less bad.

Purple is a noble color and Zi Nu itself means a noble lady. Although she was born in a humble family, this woman’s temperament is worthy of the name Zi Nu.

Life has tempered her with pain, but she has blossomed in the tempering. She is tenacious and versatile. Although she has been in the world of prostitution, she is not tainted by it. She is kind but not pedantic, decisive but not cruel.

What a beautiful woman, dark yet brilliant.

It is the natural fragrance of the orchid that grows beside the road.
