Just as the temple of Qin State was caught in endless political maneuvering, the King of Qin who they had carefully organized was accompanying the queen on a hunt in Lishan Mountain.
Lishan Mountain is the private garden and forbidden garden of the Qin royal family.
It is located in the middle of Qinchuan, only a hundred miles away from Xianyang, and the Lishan Mountains are dark green and black. It is a place of worship in the minds of the Qin people who advocate black. Although the scenery of Lishan is beautiful and calm now, once upon a time, this place It was the Qin State that was forced to its knees by the alliance of the six kingdoms.
Many proud Qin people have been buried here.
It has also witnessed the changes of generations of Qin people here.
At this moment, a handsome man riding an elk appeared in the forest. His high ponytail swayed, his deep eyes looked into the horizon, and his aura of aggression was like that of an unripe eagle.
A group of migrating geese flew across the horizon.
He lightly clamped his legs, and the snow-white elk under him rushed out like an arrow. At the same time, he let go in vain, relying on the strength of his waist and abdomen to support his body, his palms almost touching the turf, like To catch something.
The sound of deer hooves stamped on the man's waist and abdomen, and at some point he caught a bow and arrow in his hand. The lightning flash was incredibly fast.
"call out."
"Pfft."
Two wild geese in the sky rotated their wings and fell rapidly, their sharp screams scraping the ground.
The man lifted a wild goose with one hand and seemed to be weighing the weight. He seemed satisfied before walking back.
In the bamboo house, Baitao was looking at the pile of dirty clothes in front of him and didn't know what to do.
Ever since the last time she was so dizzy after being tricked by Ying Zheng's sentimental words about leaving the palace, she actually stayed in this newly built bamboo house in Lishan for three days in a row. This mountain is empty and quiet, away from the world. There are all kinds of food, clothing, and supplies in the bamboo house. The only difference from the palace is that Lishan Mountain is eerily quiet, and there are only wild animals and birds that can be seen.
It seemed like there were only two of them left in the vast world. Still dependent on each other.
Brother Zheng goes hunting every day and brings a lot of prey. It's a bit like a hunter in the mountains, working tirelessly to support his little wife.
And she.
She waited eagerly for him to come every day just to have a bite of meat. Xu Shi had lived in the palace for a long time, and Baitao always began to think that this was some kind of conspiracy. He was rectifying the power of the palace officials and creating a game within a game.
I was nervous at first. Even when I was eating meat, I would be imagining what if there was some kind of assassin, some kind of sect, some kind of person that Brother Zheng wanted to catch in the jar, lying on the roof planning to murder the King of Qin, or in the court. She revealed her true face and showed her horse-hooved feet. Was she pretending not to notice? Or are you pretending not to know?
Or he just wiped his tears with his paws and fell into Brother Zheng's arms while crying.
However, this kind of thing is really an extremely complicated political issue. I thought about the deliciousness of white peaches for two days, but I didn't even think about it in my fox's head, so I simply didn't think about it.
While he's out.
Now she dug out a pile of unwashed clothes and planned to play the role of brother Zheng's loving wife and daughter-in-law dutifully.
Whatever Thirty-Six Strategies he wanted to perform, she would sing with him to the end.
As soon as the water was poured into the bucket, and he was holding a bucket of dirty clothes to remove the fox paws, Ying Zheng came back from hunting. He stood at the door of the bamboo house, with countless fallen leaves rustling, holding two wild geese in his hands. Seeing her looking like she was facing an enemy while doing laundry, her thin lips curled up slightly.
Baitao was also different when she saw him.
In the past, Brother Zheng could be said to have the power and courage of a Qin overlord, but now, with grass clippings in his hair and mud on his body, he really looks like a handsome hunter.
She pretended to say: "Mr. Lang, why are you staying outside? Why don't you come in?"
The girl's voice is delicate and weak, and it's so sweet that it can make people sticky.
Ying Zheng's hands trembled, and the two wild geese also trembled. He coughed and said, "Husband, come in right now."
"."
Sure enough, there must be some political purpose.
Baitao felt that she was right, and she blended in better, "My husband has been working hard on hunting, so let's go to the house to rest first. There is hot tea for me to make there." He looked at her strangely, with a pair of dark jade-like eyes. Fixed on her, motionless.
Seeing that he hadn't left, she lowered her head and said, "I'll just come here to do these trivial matters. Please hurry up, sir."
"brush--"
Water drops were splashed on the clear water, and a piece of soap sank to the bottom.
"Have a good rest, madam, and come here for your husband." Ying Zheng released two tied geese, came over and sat in her place, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed his clothes skillfully.
Baitaozheng felt like she was living in a dream these days.
She felt that she must not have woken up.
He said: "Why should Madam be so surprised? My husband worked as a proton in HD when he was a child. He has done all kinds of jobs."
Saying this, Baitao really remembered that when he was a child, he would climb trees to retrieve bird eggs and bring food to her. He even mended his own clothes. But in the more than ten years he had stayed in the Qin Palace, he had not even seen her. Seeing the King of Qin who did not allow anyone to offend him, the memory of the past was blurred.
After thinking for a while, there was nothing to help.
She went to move a small mat and sat next to him with her chin in her hands to watch him wash clothes.
Occasionally, laundry water would fall down on his proud and slender jaw. Until the flag in his hand spread out on the clothes drying rack, she still felt that this human emperor, who looked like a god, should not have to endure such hardship and do such a job.
Baitao handed him the clay pot.
He took it and gulped down the water. Looking at it from the side, the back and waistline were particularly beautiful. It would definitely attract many pretty widows. After drinking, he looked at Baitao who was stunned, "Madam, are you stunned?"
Baitao bit her sleeve and said in admiration, "I think that Mr. Lang can read and digit, and he is superb in martial arts. How can he do everything so well?"
"uh-huh."
He raised his eyebrows and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, "This is how you should be as your husband."
Bai Tao narrowed her eyes and smiled.
He looked at the pair of wild geese and said to her, "I have hunted two new things for Madam. How about she take a look?"
Those two things?
Baitao had already seen the two wild geese.
She really doesn't like wild geese. They only make a squawking sound. The meat is sparse and not tender. If used for stuffing teeth, it is not as fat as a pheasant. Baitao stared at those four little eyes for a while. The two wild geese seemed to be aware of the pressure of her vixen. Their necks were tucked into the wings of the wild goose, just like two quails.
Because of this movement, Baitao discovered that their wings were scratched.
Except for the wings, it was unscathed.
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his hands and asked her, "Huh? What do you think, madam?"
"These two geese were completely frightened, and the leading goose could see that the archer had superb archery skills, fast arrow speed, and strong arm strength." Baitao's analysis was very flattering, "Well, these two The wild geese are fat and big, and it makes them happy to look at them.”
The man was very pleased with the praise, and he paused slightly, "Well, these two geese will be raised by my wife, and I can feed them some grain and water when I'm free."
"It's better of course."
Baitao hugged the two wild geese happily while wondering in her mind what the man's reason was for giving the two wild geese to the woman. Or is it some kind of ploy?
While she was still thinking, the wild geese in her arms were so frightened that their feathers exploded. She was so frightened that her pupils diverged. Ying Zheng saw his woman holding the two wild geese she had hunted, with a heavy load on her back. His hand was groping for the ring, and he seemed to be in an extremely happy mood.
In the evening, a bonfire is lit and the prey is set up.
Ying Zheng sipped Lanling wine.
At this time, the starry night was gradually lowering, and the sky was vast.
Baitao lay on his lap, not sleepy at all.
Just counting the broken stars in the sky is like trying to read the king's mind.
Fortunately, he is not staying in Xianyang City. If it is some kind of conspiracy, it doesn't look like it even now, then why did he bring her out? Taking her out to play and hunt all day long, and still being so tired of being together, hugging each other affectionately, it would be terrible if the news came to the court, and there were so many Xianyang people watching, he was a king. It's okay, her century-old vixen's shy tail is almost exposed.
At that time, how to explain it.
The mood is ups and downs.
Baitao got up in one fell swoop, held her hands beside him, and said, "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng."
Ying Zheng's slender palms with protruding finger joints were gently pressed on his knees, as if he was thinking. When he heard her calling her, half of his handsome face turned around.
Being so close, Bai Tao could even smell the aroma of wine on the corners of his lips.
He said: "Huh?"
"It's been a few days, is it really okay if you don't go to court?"
"No problem."
"Then don't be afraid of verbal and written criticism from those old guys who are fighting for the land with their heads."
"Today's court is no longer the temple of twenty years ago, but a lonely court. Taotao said, how should these old guys be punished verbally and written?"
He lay down directly, bathing in the night light of the stars.
The White Peach Chrysalis moved twice and lay obediently on his chest, "Yeah."
Ying Zheng's expression was cold and lazy. Occasionally, the crackling fire in the campfire would dance, kissing the peak of his eyebrows and the sharp Adam's apple inch by inch.
"I don't like to listen to those docile big principles either." She said, "You know, I get sleepy when I'm giving lectures, and when I get sleepy, I'm sure I'll be giving lectures, not to mention those from various major schools, those from the East, the West, the North and the South. , are popping up like mushrooms after a rain, and they still have to debate together. There are so many things that I can’t debate even if I eat roast chicken. It’s really embarrassing.”
He pinched her face and said, "If you have learned the lesson, you can just open your small mouth and make sophistry."
"Humph." Baitao snorted twice, "Anyway, brother said, if others can suffer, you can't suffer. If you can suffer, others must suffer."
"Your brother is right." Ying Zheng raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Lone will never let the world criticize Lone's woman. A thousand sins will be borne by Lone alone."
"You seem to have different words from my brother, but the core feeling is still the same."
He didn't say anything, but picked up her chin with his fingertips, and pressed her lips gently with his fingertips.
Baitao felt very uncomfortable being stroked like this, so she might as well touch her head. She frowned and was just about to bite him, but she didn't expect the man's lips to press forward, and the overwhelming liquor burned her throat, "I'm not your brother, I'm your man."
*
When he woke up the next day, Baitao didn't quite understand this sentence.
Brother A is also a man, Brother Zheng is also a man.
Brother A treats her well, and Brother Zheng also treats her well.
What's the difference between the two men?
The strange thing is that the little fox has not been deeply involved in the world and can understand the secular truth that courtiers and the Queen Mother cannot secretly communicate with each other. However, she does not know such a simple distinction between family affection and love. She is not a stubborn fox. I want to solve the problem.
She lifted the quilt and combed herself.
Just after he finished taking care of himself, he opened the door and saw Ying Zheng feeding the white deer. In the deep mountains where the clouds were steaming, ethereal birds were chirping. The white deer was comfortably enjoying the feeding from the Emperor. The antlers really wanted to reach the sky. Now, the four pedals are restless, they are stepping on them, and they have to look like they are showing off.
"woke up?"
After stuffing the last handful of grass, Ying Zheng looked back at her.
But he was obviously stunned for a moment.
The girl who was illuminated by the morning glow had a snow-white complexion. She was showered by the mountain spring water in the early morning, and her eyes were sparkling with water. Especially her pair of round fox eyes, when she looked at people, they seemed to melt them.
Then, Ying Zheng frowned.
Baitao was still looking at her feet following his gaze. Suddenly, the world was spinning. She was carried on his broad shoulders, like a prey being guarded by a vicious wolf. His tone was also cold, "There is no place like a palace in the mountains." Here, your palace is paved with warm jade, and the mountain is so dark and damp that you dare to go barefoot."
"."
Have you ever seen a vixen wearing shoes while having fun in the mountains?
Baitao wanted to defend herself, but when she saw that his face was so dark, she silently closed her mouth and said, "I know, I was wrong. I won't do it next time."
Anyway, I won’t show it to you next time.
She is a vixen with three fox tails and weighs three kilograms of bones.
After putting on her shoes, Baitao felt like she was free. She ignored him and hugged Bailu. Bailu had witnessed the incredible thing that the Human Emperor actually walked over with a vixen in his arms. Its wet eyes flickered and even its mouth The forage in it hadn't even been digested yet when a little fox came to see it.
And hug it.
It was so overwhelmed with happiness that it almost jumped up. It was a little excited and it didn't react yet.
The deer's butt was slapped by a big palm.
Its male owner said: "Let's go, it's time to go down the mountain."
The little fox mistress replied: "Come down the mountain and go back to the palace?"
"yes."
"Then why did you come up the mountain?"
"Welcome Queen Qin back to the palace."
