The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 378: My child, you have suffered

Honglian said softly: "Father, I understand everything."

"I don't blame you, my father. Women have to get married. This is the best fate for me. Isn't the King of Qin a good person?"

Honglian smiled sweetly:
"As a king, it's normal for him to have more women around him. Isn't my father the same?"

Han Wangan asked Honglian to sit down and sighed softly: "Honglian, you were still young before, there are some things you don't need to know, but now your father has to tell you."

"Since the turmoil in the world a few years ago, Qin has taken over the whole of the Yellow River in one fell swoop. Qin has the potential to sweep across the world."

"Among all the countries in the world today, our South Korea is the weakest, and it is the closest to Qin State, facing the Qin army directly."

"Since then, people in the country have been in turmoil. South Korea is going to perish."

Honglian was shocked and blurted out: "Father, how could this happen?!"

Han Wangan waved his hand and continued, "This is the fact. The people of South Korea are now in a state of uncertainty, with each harboring their own evil intentions. They are all afraid of Qin like a tiger."

"My father is helpless because of external and internal troubles. He doesn't even dare to make any big moves. If we are not careful, I don't know how many people will directly surrender to Qin."

"As it stands now, unless the world changes dramatically, South Korea's days are numbered."

"The location of Han is the only way for Qin to conquer the world. Whether Qin can conquer the world or not, Han will have nowhere to go."

Han Wangan sighed.

Only now did Honglian fully understand how difficult her father's life was.

He comforted King Han with great concern: "Father, rest assured. When I arrive in Qin, I will persuade the King of Qin not to attack Han. Aren't we already relatives by marriage?"

"Isn't it also possible to attack the neighboring states of Wei, Zhao and Chu?"

Han Wangan laughed and sighed, "Silly child, how can a woman like you interfere in the affairs of state?"

"Don't say this again, especially not to the King of Qin."

"Father doesn't need you to consider the affairs of South Korea. Marrying the King of Qin is your best destiny. It is better than being a princess of a fallen country. That is a really bad ending."

"Alas, father only hopes that you can gain the favor of King Qin. Perhaps in the future, the life and death, honor and disgrace of the entire family will be in your hands."

"It is a blessing to be able to defend the country."

Honglian was extremely worried and advised, "Father, has it really come to this?"

Han Wangan shook his head: "Silly child, maybe it's even worse."

"Remember, don't discuss state affairs with the King of Qin. You only have one chance to plead, and you can only use it on matters that the King of Qin might agree to."

Honglian nodded and asked, "Father, what is it possible that the King of Qin would agree to?"

Han Wangan smiled bitterly and sighed: "You will know it naturally in the future."

"Honglian, Qin is different from South Korea. When you go to Qin, you must restrain your willful and arrogant nature. People are treacherous, and the concubines in the harem will do anything to win favor. You must be careful."

"You are of high status, but the King of Qin's harem is not short of princesses from other countries. Your status is not enough to rely on. Qin is the strongest country, and the King of Qin does not need to consider other people's opinions. Therefore, in the King of Qin's harem, the King of Qin's love is the most important."

"You must be extremely careful."

Honglian nodded heavily and said seriously: "Your son understands."

Han Wangan nodded and said, "It's good that you understand. After all, you are young and have never seen dirty and cruel means. Your father is really worried about you going alone."

"Father has prepared two helpers for you to accompany you to Qin as your maids. When you are in Qin, Han people are the most trustworthy."

"You must unite them well and change your willful and capricious temper. They are both smart and clever people. With their help, you will not have to worry about not having a place in the King of Qin's harem."

"You can't defeat them now, but your identity can suppress them."

"Treat them well. They are not a threat to you. Instead, they will be your most capable helpers."

Honglian nodded and asked, "Thank you, father. Who are they?"

"Mingzhu and Lady Hu."

Honglian opened her eyes wide and said in shock: "Father, they..."

Han Wangan interrupted, "Father will announce to the public that they died of a sudden illness, but in reality they will accompany you to Qin as your personal maids."

Honglian pouted: "Father, why are they the two? I don't like them."

There was one thing Honglian hadn't said for Han Wang'an's sake: "Besides, they are both my stepmothers. How can they serve the King of Qin together?"

Han Wangan criticized: "Look, what did I teach you just now, but you are being willful again."

"It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. What matters most is whether men like it or not."

"Think about it yourself, would a man like both of them?"

Although Honglian was a little unwilling, she still nodded.

"You must unite with them, learn from them, listen more and learn more. Only in this way can you live a better life in Qin." "Their identities will not be a threat to you. In the early stage, they can only rely on you, but over time, they may be able to climb up, so you must learn and grow as soon as possible."

"It is highly unlikely that they will be able to climb to very high positions. Even if they do have some status, it is definitely not as good as yours."

"They are both smart people and will definitely treat you with care, so you should also lower your attitude and be respectful and polite to them."

"Remember, there is strength in numbers. When many people gather together, the flames rise high. No one should expect to be favored by the monarch alone. The more people you have, the more you can get."

Honglian nodded: "I understand, son."

Han Wangan sighed and said, "Good child, you are a smart child. After leaving your father, you can only rely on yourself."

"As for the other two, you can trust them, but you can't trust them completely. You have to be wary of them."

"Mingzhu was sent in by Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, but I prefer Bai Yifei. Concubine Hu was sent in by Zuo Sima Liu Yi."

"Left Sima Liu Yi is Ji Wuye's man, but Liu Yi himself has other ideas."

"These two women have complicated minds. You can learn from them, but you can't trust them completely."

Honglian felt dizzy after listening to this. She had received too much information today, and her little brain couldn't react quickly enough.

I couldn't help but ask, "Father, since you know, why?"

Han Wangan said helplessly: "Silly child, the affairs of the court are like you in me and I in you, the changes between enemies and friends are also changing rapidly. Once the situation changes, the relationship between enemies and friends will change immediately."

"Isn't it normal to have people from the previous dynasty in the harem? It would be really strange if there weren't any. There are so many women in the harem, and any of them with a little status have close ties with the previous dynasty."

"The king has his people around him, and they also have his people around him."

Honglian nodded, not quite understanding.

Han Wangan also taught: "Think twice before doing anything in the future, don't be impulsive, don't be controlled by emotions, and be low-key and don't be too prominent."

Honglian nodded.

Han Wangan finally sighed and said, "Good boy, I will rely on you from now on. Our whole family will also rely on you."

"It's hard on you."

Honglian hurriedly shook her head: "Father, what are you talking about? I understand everything. I now understand how difficult it is for you, father."

"I will definitely do my best."

Han Wangan finally touched Honglian's head and said, "Okay, okay."

"Don't think too much. Nothing can be rushed. It's getting late. Go to bed early."

After Han Wangan left, Honglian sat there in a daze. Originally, after Han Fei told her the news, she felt that she had grown up.

Now it seems that maybe I have grown up, but I still know too little about the world.

Is the adult world so complicated?

The next day, Madam Mingzhu secretly passed the message to Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, but did not mention the specific situation.

What Ji Wuye was told was that King Han An forced her to follow Honglian to Qin.

What Bai Yifei said was that it was under his guidance that King Han An ordered her to follow Honglian into Qin.

As for the fact that Lady Hu was also going, she pretended not to know and only told them the news a day later.

The next day, Concubine Hu invited her sister into the palace. After dismissing all the servants, Concubine Hu sighed.

Although Mrs. Hu is a little older, she still has charm and is quite beautiful. She dresses simply but still looks wealthy. Especially her beautiful, gentle and virtuous temperament is the most moving.

There is often a soft and weak look between her brows, a look of sorrow and sadness that makes people want to pity her but also want to bully her.

After all, ma'am, you don't want
This kind of thing is still very exciting and tempting for men.

Madam Hu frowned slightly and asked softly, "Sister, why didn't you say a word when you called me here so early in the morning? Did something happen?"

Concubine Hu and her sister depended on each other for survival and were raised by her sister, so she naturally understood her sister.

My sister looks gentle and soft, and doesn't seem to pose any threat, but in fact she is quick-witted, scheming, and never reveals her edge.

No one would really think that a woman’s ex-husband and current husband are mortal enemies and that the woman also has a child with her ex-husband.

When her ex-husband was killed in battle and her entire family was about to be killed, she quickly married her current husband and became the wife of the Zuo Sima of a country.

A woman who has not had any children for more than ten years but has been able to sit firmly on the position of the legal wife for more than ten years, must she be a simple and brainless idiot, right?

His family was originally a wealthy family in Baiyue. His father, Lord Huoyu, built Huoyu Villa with the help of the Huoyu Agate Mine and became very wealthy for a while. Unfortunately, his wealth was too much and his business was too big to be concealed at all. He also had no power to protect his wealth, which attracted the attention of too many people.

The man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure. Just when every day was tense, Chu and Han joined forces to attack Baiyue. My father wanted to stop and move the whole family to the peaceful and prosperous Central Plains.

It just so happened that the third most important figure who came to attack Baiyue, the Right Sima of Han, also had his eyes on Huoyu Villa. It was also a good thing to be protected by the top leaders of Han. So my sister took the opportunity to date the Right Sima Li Kai, and the two decided to spend their lives together and had a child.
