The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 513 The most miserable thing in the world,
A man's ambition is like the rushing water of a river, but the water of the river will eventually flow into the sea.

However, the ambitions of a real man are often difficult to achieve, and he can only regret it for the rest of his life.

Yan Dan is not a perfect person, nor even a good person in the ordinary sense. He has suffered humiliation and pain since childhood, and no one around him cares about him. Even his father, the king, did not hesitate to plot against him when it came to his own interests.

He was sent to the State of Zhao as a hostage when he was young. However, when he was a hostage, his father did not hesitate to break the alliance and attack the State of Zhao, without caring about his life or death at all.

Only when he was young did Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji show him some care and love.

That was the only light in his childhood.

Only he himself knew that he would never forget the day when Ying Zheng returned to Qin and left Handan. He secretly climbed up the city wall of Handan, watched Ying Zheng's departing convoy from afar, and burst into tears uncontrollably.

That year, he was less than eight years old.

Since I was alone in Handan again, I don’t know how many times I woke up from nightmares, and how many times I walked to the place where Ying Zheng once lived, looking at it absent-mindedly, wishing to see the familiar figure again.

I have imagined countless times whether I could meet my good brother again and what it would be like if we met again.
The deep feelings of childhood will never fade.

Right.

But since when did jealousy begin to arise in my heart in addition to envy?

Even, resentment.

Why? We are both hostages, and I am the legitimate son of the King of Yan. However, you have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, and you have a very gentle mother who loves you deeply.

Why, you became the crown prince just over a year after you returned?

Why does God favor you?

Why, at the same age of thirteen, you are already the king?

Why, you are in a high position as a king, while I go to Qin and serve as a hostage at your feet?
Why, you have already occupied half of the world and dominate the world, while I still have to be cautious under my father's command?

Yan State, oh Yan State, Yan Dan, oh Yan Dan, is there still a chance?
Is there still a chance?!

Yan Dan waved his sleeve to sweep away the wine bowl, then lifted up the wine jar and drank from it in big gulps. Jing Ke did not stop him at all. He also dropped the wine bowl, picked up the wine jar, and drank with Yan Dan.

After drinking a whole jar of wine in one breath, Jing Ke looked up at the bright moonlight.

The moonlight is so beautiful and the moonlight is so gentle.

Just like countless moonlit nights before.

Just like the smiling face of my junior sister.

Love is a passionate and crazy infatuation, a fire that cannot be extinguished, an insatiable desire, a joy as sweet as honey, a burst of intoxicating madness, a toil without peace and peace without toil.

But love is always elusive.

The most painful thing in the world is not getting what you want.

By the time the moon rose high in the sky, Yan Dan had been lying motionless on the small table, and Jing Ke was already about six or seven parts drunk. Since leaving Qin, he had never been completely drunk again.

He wanted to get drunk countless times, but he never got drunk again. Even if he drank, he rarely drank unless he was with Yan Dan.

He is no longer an alcoholic.

Jing Ke leaned against a tree, looking up at the moonlight quietly. He really didn't know who to tell the good news to.

Just then, a gentle and beautiful woman came forward with a worried look on her face.

Jing Ke felt someone approaching, looked back, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness greets the Crown Princess."

The beauty smiled softly and said in a gentle voice: "Ci Fei, there is no need to be so polite. Stand up quickly."

"My husband has been in a bad mood these days. I know he is under a lot of pressure, but I can't comfort him. Thanks to Cifei, I can accompany my husband to relieve his depression. Thank you very much, Cifei."

Jing Ke quickly replied, "Crown Princess, your words are too serious. I am only accompanying the Crown Prince to drink and drown his sorrows."

Princess Yan shook her head gently, smiled and said softly: "You men are thinking about the affairs of the country. I am a woman with shallow knowledge and cannot relieve your husband's worries. These major events are thanks to Cifei's assistance. Only talents like you can relieve your husband's worries. Cifei should not underestimate yourself."

Jing Ke quickly replied: "This is my duty. Your Highness the Crown Prince has been very kind to me. I cannot repay you even if I die a thousand times."

Princess Yan smiled and said, "It's getting late today, and my husband is drunk. Why don't we just leave it at that for now? I'll take my husband home to rest. I've already asked someone to prepare a guest room, so please stay here today."

Jing Ke replied: "Thank you, Princess. I will obey your command."

Princess Yan said, "Ci Fei, you should also go to bed early. I have asked someone to prepare some hangover soup, which will be served by the maids later. Thank you for your help today, Ci Fei."

Jing Ke bowed and said, "Thank you, Crown Princess."

Princess Yan personally helped Yan Dan up and was about to help him back to his room. Just as Yan Dan was being helped up, he woke up, looked at Jing Ke with drunken eyes, and said clearly: "Ci Fei, we need to find a way to deal with the current situation, right?"

Jing Ke nodded slowly but seriously.

Yan Dan smiled slightly, and then fell drunk again. He leaned on the Crown Princess, and was supported by her as he staggered towards the bedroom. Yan Dan was tall and staggered, but was supported by the Crown Princess Yan, which showed that the Crown Princess also had some cultivation.

A maid came forward and respectfully led Jing Ke to the guest room.

His heart became heavier and heavier.

After the Crown Princess brought Yan Dan back to the guest room, she and her maid undressed Yan Dan personally. The maid washed Yan Dan's feet, and the Crown Princess served Yan Dan the hangover-relieving soup that she had prepared long ago.

After a lot of hard work, Yan Dan finally lay down and fell asleep.

The Crown Princess sat beside the couch, looking at the sleeping Yan Dan with infinite tenderness in her eyes, and there was deep worry in her tenderness.

The Crown Princess was named Ju Rong, and she was the great-granddaughter of Ju Xin.

She was a famous lady from a noble family. She was gentle, virtuous, beautiful and generous. When she was only fourteen years old, the door of her mansion was already blocked by suitors.

Of course, after Ju Xin died, no one came to visit.

It’s not that he despises the poor and loves the rich or covets power, it’s mainly because of the existence of Prince Xi of Yan.

Looking at her face, it is stunning, with the most standard oval face, distinct and soft facial features, and smooth skin that is as delicate as a baby's.

Her eyebrows are like smoke, her eyes are bright and charming, her nose is delicate and straight, and her lips are rosy and charming.

At this time, Princess Yan was sitting on the side of the couch, dressed in luxurious clothes, with powdered eyebrows and elegant jade-like beauty. Her demeanor was graceful and dignified, her figure was stunning, and the charm of the woman under the forest was even more beautiful than the secluded orchid in the valley.

She doesn't look like a woman who already has a son and a daughter.

Although she only has one on Double Ten this year.

A few years ago, Ju Xin died in the battlefield to repay the kindness of his benefactor. King Yan was so cruel that he wanted to exterminate Ju Xin's entire family. After Yan Dan and his ministers pleaded hard, he let Ju Xin's family go, but he also forbade them to enter Ji City again.

Yan Dan protected them and allowed them to temporarily leave Ji City and stay in Yangcheng, and he would often visit them secretly.

Ju Rong has been loved by Ju Xin since she was a child. She admires her great-grandfather the most. She has always been grateful to Yan Dan for fulfilling Ju Xin's dying wish and buried Ju Xin near Zhaoxiantai built by King Zhao of Yan.

After a few encounters, the two became familiar with each other. No one would dislike a girl like Ju Rong, who was gentle, virtuous, generous and decent. Yan Dan really liked her and also wanted to completely establish her character.

After the limelight had passed, in the seventh year of King Zheng of Qin, he asked King Xi of Yan to marry Ju Rong. King Xi of Yan neither agreed nor refused, but turned a blind eye and only sent someone to send a batch of treasures to Yan Dan as a sign of tacit approval.

Prince Xi of Yan had long since regained his composure and wanted to restore his reputation, but it was impossible to make him admit his mistake and withdraw his order, so this was the only way.

In this way, Ju Rong became Yan Dan's crown princess. This move indeed greatly boosted Yan Dan's reputation throughout the Yan State. Ju Xin's years in the Yan State were not in vain.

Ju Xin died for his country and his king, but he ended up like this, and everyone lamented it. Yan Dan now protected his family, fulfilled his last wish, and even married his great-granddaughter as the Crown Princess, and the reputation he gained was huge.

Prince Xi of Yan did not lose out either. His acquiescence did ease his own reputation. After all, everyone was not stupid. If the king did not agree, the matter of the crown prince appointing a crown princess would definitely not succeed.

This is also the reason why King Xi of Yan usually does nothing, but suddenly he does something humane, which moves the world even more.

Ju Rong looked at Yan Dan infatuatedly, stroking Yan Dan's face with her delicate hands, following Yan Dan's brows that were furrowed even in his sleep. How she wanted to soothe his sorrow.

Ju Rong never asks about what Yan Dan is doing outside. She only takes care of the household chores because she believes in Yan Dan's abilities.

The current king cannot save the State of Yan. Only her husband, Yan Dan, can save the State of Yan and comfort the people.

Ju Rong would never explore the fragility and pain in Yan Dan's heart, even if she wanted to comfort this pain, she would never do so.

Because she knew very well that a man like her husband would never show his inner vulnerability to anyone, even if that person was his closest wife.

In the past two years, Yan Dan has been drinking more and more often to relieve his sorrow. Ju Rong sees it and feels pain in her heart, but she never stops him. She knows very well that men should be given a channel to vent their emotions.

Whether it's drinking to drown your sorrows or taking it out on women, it's all fine.

The greater the ambition a man has, the more miserable he always is.

This pain was wearing him down.

She would only serve Yan Dan hangover soup to relieve his discomfort after he got drunk, and would never stop him from drinking.

She understood Yan Dan. Yan Dan only drank to relieve his sorrow, but when he woke up the next day, he was still the positive and tenacious Yan Dan. He would never lose heart and indulge in depravity.

She was also sincerely grateful to Jing Ke. She knew very well how difficult it was for someone in a high position like her husband to have a friend with whom he could drink without restraint and speak freely.

But no matter how much she understood, seeing her beloved husband in so much pain would only make her heart more painful, and she could only accompany him silently.

Yan Dan is such a lucky guy, he always meets such good women.

Ying Zheng was different.

He has many good women like this.
