The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 423: The Conflicted Moon Goddess

The beauty was delicate and it was hard to please her completely, but it was still a wonderful night.

Of course, the little beauty was miserable. It’s hard to describe, but it was really not easy.

At the same time, another beauty was also in trouble. She was none other than the Moon Goddess, Mi Wu.

At this time, the Moon Goddess was sitting alone by the window, supporting her head with her bare hands, lost in thought.

This goddess who is like the frosty moon truly deserves her title of Moon Goddess. Her appearance and temperament are in no way inferior to her sister. Her face is exquisite, like a work of art given by God.

Even through a thin veil, one can clearly see that this is a stunning beauty, with curved eyebrows that look like a light crescent moon; the tips of her eyebrows are slightly raised, adding a bit of charm and heroism; her nose is straight with graceful lines, standing like a peak, showing her noble and aloof temperament.

Her lips were delicate and lightly painted with rose-red rouge, as if roses were about to bloom in early spring.

Delicate jade hands, slender white wrists, and a swan-like neck, all the exposed skin is incomparably white, like delicate mutton-fat jade emitting soft light, or like moonlight sprinkling on the snow, pure and flawless.

The Moon Goddess sighed softly, and her pair of purple eyebrows lightly wrinkled. Her originally pure and elegant, cold and aloof temperament instantly became human, as if a goddess who was high above the nine heavens had descended to the mortal world.

This sigh disappeared with the wind, like a thread, entwined around the heart, making it even more beautiful and making people feel pity for it.

Yue Shen was thinking in a daze that she was going to meet her sister. She hadn't seen her for several years. Based on her understanding of her sister, her sister had basically only two attitudes towards her, either ignoring her or teasing her.

The Moon Goddess doesn't want either of these two attitudes.

Especially the second one, which is not as good as the first one.

She is a noble lady of the royal family of Great Chu, and now she is also the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School.

Well. Since the titles of Donghuang Taiyi and Dongjun are gone, in principle she is the biggest.

No wonder!
The title is important, but not as important as imagined. Now the real leader of the Yin-Yang Family is still Zou Shi.

She is still only second in command.

However, because of her special status, even Zou Shi had to treat her with respect.

It’s not because of her status as a noble lady of the Chu State. The Yin-Yang Family has already abandoned the Chu State and doesn’t care about this at all.

What Zou Shi is more concerned about now is her sister's identity.

The two ladies most beloved by the current King of Qin, Lady Yunmeng and Lady Feiyan, are the ones that Zou Shi cannot afford to offend.

The Moon Goddess is not familiar with Mi Yun. Mi Yan is the legitimate daughter of Shunping Jun and has been favored since childhood, which is why she can play with Mi Yun.

The Moon Goddess is just a concubine's daughter. Her mother is of humble origin and is just a beauty from Baiyue. If she wants to play with Mi Yun, her status is simply not high enough.

Even though they are all noble ladies, they are divided into different levels.

Shunping Jun had three sons and five daughters, but only one son and one daughter were born of legal origin, and the rest were born of illegitimate children.

Although Shunping Jun did not hate Yueshen, he did not really value her, as she was just a concubine's illegitimate daughter.

Mi Yan and Yue Shen are of similar age, which has become Yue Shen's nightmare.

Her elder sister is a legitimate daughter of a noble family, her mother is also from a prominent family and is the favorite of her father. She has been a proud child of heaven since she was born.

Not only that, she has enough capital to be proud of. She has been smart since childhood, talented, beautiful, and noble. If you want to find flaws in her, you will never find any.

He did not bully his sister, he just ignored her.

Yes, my good sister is such a person who looks down on others and is always the most arrogant.

Well, a little teasing once in a while.

But this hurt the Moon Goddess's heart even more.

Yue Shen followed Mi Yan and grew up little by little. Mi Yan was what Yue Shen had always dreamed of: elegant, confident, noble and proud.

Under Mi Yan's brilliance, the Moon Goddess is really inconspicuous.

The Moon Goddess had complicated feelings towards her sister, a mixture of admiration and longing, as well as secret jealousy.

Why, why did God give her everything?
The Moon Goddess obviously doesn't know who God really gave everything to.

She found out later.

The Moon Goddess originally had no idea why her sister was always in a bad mood when she came back from the palace after meeting with other noble ladies.

It was not until Mi Yan joined the Yin-Yang School to study that Yue Shen followed suit and joined the Yin-Yang School.

Regardless, Yue Shen also wanted to surpass Mi Yan in areas where both of them could rely on their own abilities.

When Yue Shen arrived at the Yin-Yang family, she realized that there was someone who could suppress her sister.

That princess was so dazzling that everyone in the Yin-Yang family treated her with respect. Even Lord Donghuang allowed her to do as she pleased and gave her absolute respect.

Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was always graceful and polite to everyone, Moon Goddess saw clearly that there was a deeper arrogance in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and there were few people in the entire Yin-Yang family who could be truly taken seriously by her.

The most hateful thing is that my sister is here, but I am not!
However, the Moon Goddess no longer felt jealous of Mi Yun. The gap between them was too big, so she didn't think too much about it.

The Moon Goddess could only divert her attention and began to gloat over her misfortune, saying, "My dear sister, there are times when you are suppressed by others too."

But the Moon Goddess soon lost her joy because Mi Yan's progress was too fast. She was an unparalleled genius in the art of Yin and Yang, and her practice in one year was equivalent to that of an elite disciple in ten years.

Yue Shen was also a brilliant genius, but unfortunately, compared to Mi Yan, her talent was so insignificant. Because of their talents and identities, they soon became Dong Jun and Yue Shen, becoming the second and third in command.

She never expected that even after studying in the Yin-Yang School, she would still be no match for her sister, and that she would still be suppressed in the Yin-Yang School.

The Moon Goddess had no choice but to find another way and delve into astrology, which is the most difficult academic discipline in the Yin-Yang School.

I swear to be better than Mi Yan, even if it's just this little bit.

Mi Yan had worked hard enough to defeat Mi Yun, but Yue Shen had worked even harder in secret, literally forgetting to eat and sleep.

Although still not as good as Mi Yan.

Soon, the shock of the news made Mi Yan's morale depressed for a long time.

That dazzling princess, now known as the Princess Who Makes a Country Beautiful, married the King of Qin and became his first lady.

This time, the Moon Goddess didn't even bother to gloat over her sister's gloomy mood.

She is also envious!

Sister, don't ever think of defeating that princess again in your life.

No chance again.

Being a royal lady already makes her better than 99% of the people in the world. Her own qualifications, whether appearance or literary and martial talents, are even better than 99% of the people in the world.

But only when you reach this position do you realize how big the gap in life can be even though you are both noble ladies.

As for my sister, I can try my best and catch up with her. If I'm lucky, I may be able to beat her once.

But compared with that princess, I really don't even have the heart to compare.

Even if everything else is taken into account, her dowry, just the Suihou Baozhu, would not be enough even if she sold her father.

Even though my father, Shunping Jun, is the king's younger brother, his fiefdom is only six small cities. What can I compare with?

The Moon Goddess quickly adjusted her mindset and put aside this matter which was far enough away from her.

Instead, they gloat over other people's misfortune.

As soon as she thought about how her sister had suffered a great blow, she felt instantly better.

Mi Yan was soon sent to Xianyang to carry out the mission, and Yue Shen was even more gloating.

This clever girl naturally knew that as long as her sister arrived in Xianyang, the princess, who was now the wife of the King of Qin, would be happy to invite her to the palace for a gathering.

If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night.

Being in the deep palace, it is not easy to return home, but since someone from my hometown has finally come, how can I not treat him well and show off?
But I never expected it!

My good sister never came back after entering the palace! She also became the wife of the King of Qin!
She was married into the Qin Palace as a princess, and her dowry was the world-famous national treasure of the Chu State, the Tai'a Sword!

God knows what kind of expression the Moon Goddess had after hearing the news?
How can you level up so quickly? It's just like Princess Mi Yun!

Since then, Yueshen has watched her sister's life getting better and better.

The Qin State was becoming increasingly powerful, and the King of Qin was a holy monarch favored by Heaven. From the analysis of the stars and the situation in the world, the Moon God had been completely certain that within twenty years, the King of Qin would be able to accomplish a great cause unprecedented in history.

As one of the three wives of the King of Qin, my sister is extremely favored and her offspring are destined to be prosperous.

The Moon Goddess completely gave up the idea of ​​suppressing her sister. It was impossible.

However, the Moon Goddess did not slack off because of this. She was a woman who wanted to control her own destiny and a woman who longed to be powerful.

She knew very well that the stronger she was, the more choices she would have.

But in the Yin-Yang family, she no longer has any rivals, so this is her best opportunity.

The Moon Goddess worked even harder to study astrology and Yin-Yang magic. Instead of pinning her hopes on luck, she decided to rely on hard work.

But the cruelty of this world lies in the fact that for the vast majority of people, their personal efforts seem so insignificant in the face of the general trend.

Just when the Moon Goddess had finally achieved some success, the Qin State was already threatening the world with its intention to swallow up the rest.

The Yin-Yang School, which had already placed its bet on Qin, completely abandoned Chu and defected to Qin.

The Yin-Yang School has been working in Chu for many years and has become very powerful. However, the majority of its disciples are also from Chu, and many of them are descendants of Chu nobles.

Many disciples were unwilling to abandon their country and were temporarily placed under house arrest, and would be released after they left the State of Chu.

After hesitating for a long time, the Moon Goddess decided to follow him into Qin.

The King of Qin had never had a queen, and the most powerful people in the harem were the three wives. His sister had become someone he could only look up to.

Although the Yin-Yang School could only prostrate themselves respectfully under the command of the King of Qin, a mere Moon God like himself was nothing.

However, I have been working in the Yin-Yang School for many years, and it would be a pity to leave now. I have been in the Yin-Yang School for so many years and I am most familiar with the Yin-Yang School. I would feel uncomfortable if I left.

Anyway, with her status, as long as she doesn't go against the State of Chu, she can come back at any time.

She didn't want to do anything, and no one in the Yin-Yang family could force her to do anything.
