The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 78 There will be long winds and waves

"Nanny didn't cry..."

Princess Xia stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from her face and said stubbornly.

Seeing this, King Qin Ying Ji on the side walked out of the room silently and closed the door.

"OK OK!……"

Chuiliji's voice was endearing, as if he was comforting the former little girl.

"After the uncle leaves, you will have no elders, Nannan. Then, don't forget to add clothes for the cold weather, and..."

Listening to Chu Liji's verbose words in her ears, Princess Xia seemed to never be able to hear enough, and the tears in her eyes continued to flow.

In the end, Qi Liji fell silent, then looked at Princess Xia's face and suddenly said: "When the late king passed away, apart from the country of Qin, the one who cared about you the most was you, Nannan."

"I hope to see what kind of husband my daughter will have and what kind of life she will have... I hope she won't be like..."

"...let your child enjoy mother's pampering."

"The late king once told me to make sure you are healthy every day..."

"...The little girl I once had has grown up now. I still vaguely remember that my daughter was chasing butterflies in the flower garden..."

"At that time, your crisp laughter seemed to make me feel good. I just wanted to be by your side and play with you..."

"..."

The roaring sound in his ears gradually weakened until it disappeared.Princess Xia felt that the generous palm in her hand had become weak, and it dropped to the edge of the bed.

Qili is dying of illness!
My father-in-law is dead!
From now on, there is only me in the whole world, and no elders care about me anymore. The mountains behind me collapse one by one, leaving only me, a grown tree, facing the violent wind and rain...

……

……

The right prime minister of the State of Qin passed away. King Ying Ji of Qin was sad and came to express his condolences in person in Chuli. The princess of Zhenguo also came with him.

Princess Xia wears a dark coat, and her hair is bound with a wooden hairpin, which is a simple bun.

Watching her father-in-law being slowly sent to the mausoleum, she slowly closed her eyes, and a trace of crystal slipped from the corner of her eyes.

In the mountains and forests, Qin's armor is majestic, and the King of Qin's chariot is luxurious and luxurious, but at this time it is also covered with mourning cloths.

The crown of the King of Qin has also faded from Ying Ji's body. Today he comes as an ordinary person.

"Sister, don't be sad. Uncle...if he were here, he would definitely not want to see my sister like this."

Princess Xia heard the words and raised her hands to wipe away the tears on her cheeks. Then she looked at King Qin Ying Ji who was looking at her with a worried expression. She nodded slightly and turned around to walk towards Ta Xue not far away.

King Ying Ji of Qin knew that his sister needed silence, so he did not follow her.

It seemed that Texue also felt the sadness of his master, and gently rubbed Princess Xia's palm with his head.

Princess Xia touched the horse's mane in response, then got on the horse and left.

……

The alliance between the six countries was still there, but the alliance collapsed inexplicably before reaching Hangu Pass, and soldiers from all countries returned.

Lord Mengchang of Qi once again lobbied other countries to jointly attack Qin.

The new king of Qin has been on the throne for a long time, and his position is stable. He is finally free to face the offensive of the six countries.

The right prime minister Chuli died of illness, and Wei Ran was appointed as the right prime minister by King Ying Ji of Qin.

During this period, King Yingji of Qin went to Huizhi Palace to meet Princess Zhenguo and asked Princess Zhenguo to serve as the prime minister of Qin. However, Princess Zhenguo refused.

Therefore, King Qin Yingji had no choice but to appoint Wei Ran as prime minister, and at the same time discuss with his ministers how to deal with the offensive of the Six Kingdoms.

……

The princess of Zhenguo, who lived deep in the Qin Palace, could not come out for a long time, and all the subordinate camps were handed over to the general Bai Qi.It seems that the princess of Zhenguo has also passed away with the Prime Minister You.Time passed slowly, and the Qin State showed its sharpness. Facing the coalition forces of the six countries, it showed no signs of decline. Instead, it took the initiative to attack and disintegrate the alliance of the countries.

King Qin Yingji accepted Prime Minister Zuo's strategy of slowing down and formed an alliance with Chu to jointly attack Han, Wei and Zhao.

……

In the spring of the 18th year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

Princess Xia's face has wrinkles, but her body is still strong and she dances sword in Huizhi Palace every day.

Bai Zhi sat on the table under the pavilion, looking at Princess Xia who was wearing a dark red dress, and also noticed Princess Xia's aging appearance.

Princess Xia is over 40 years old, but she lives in the palace all year round and has nothing to worry about, but she also looks extremely young, like a 30-year-old woman.

Elegant appearance, dignified and elegant, more feminine charm.

In the flowerbed, flowers bloomed, and bees and butterflies lingered.Beside the flower garden, Tuxue was snoring, chasing away the butterflies that kept landing on the tip of his nose.

Princess Xia Wujian's figure is like a butterfly in the flower, dancing gracefully.After a while, Princess Xia put away Qin Jian, then returned to the pavilion, picked up the tea and tasted it carefully.

"As time goes by, 17 years have gone by in a blink of an eye. I still remember the last time it took me this long, it was the last time!"

Princess Xia: "..."

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Princess Xia was startled for a moment, then smiled. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Bai Zhi and said, "Master is here again to make fun of himself."

"Is not it?"

Bai Zhi asked back, but there was also a cheerful tone in his tone. Then he straightened his tone and said: "For example, the snow in the courtyard is always young because of me. Looking at you again, 17 years have passed. It left marks on the body.”

After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Princess Xia was silent for a moment, but she saw a bronze mirror next to the table, and Princess Xia's face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

She is in her 40s and looks like she is thirty, but compared to before, she is also old.

"If you want to regain your youth, maybe I can do it."

Bai Zhi spoke and persuaded again.

In the past ten years, he had repeatedly persuaded Princess Xia to let him return to her youth, but she always refused.

"That's good too..."

Princess Xia moved the bronze mirror on the table aside, then smiled slightly, turned and looked into the palace garden.

Looking at everything familiar, he suddenly said: "Maybe I have been too depressed these years, and I shouldn't be like this!"

She seemed to be reflecting.

Bai Zhi was helpless. Although he didn't care much about the lives of ordinary people, he had feelings for Princess Xia. After all, she was the one who accompanied him from time to time and spent the confusing years.

From the very beginning, she was a small, cute little girl, grew up, then fought on the battlefield, and finally lived in the Qin Palace, wasting her life.

As for her feelings for Princess Xia, they are complicated.

While Bai Zhi was deep in thought, Princess Xia spoke again: "From growing up, to determination, then to chasing that ambition, then to fighting, and then to the confusion and decadence..."

"But Xia's ambition has always been there!"

Bai Zhi: "..."

Princess Xia turned to look at Bai Zhi. The dejection and laziness in her body seemed to have disappeared, replaced by determination and high spirits, "Maybe you are right, Master, Xia is already old..."

Princess Xia raised her palms, her soft and slender hands also wrinkled. She looked at them carefully:
"I think of a sentence my master once said, but it is very appropriate at this time..."

"There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the sails will be hung straight to the sea!"

She raised her head and looked at the armor that had been lying aside for a long time...
