Great Qin Shi Empress

It's also because time is tight for both of them. Even if they intend to get married, they may not be able to spare too much time. In addition, the parents of both parties are really worried about their marriage. Now, when they hear that they have the idea of ​​getting married, they will change. Desperately wanting to settle the marriage as soon as possible to avoid further twists and turns?

And in order for the wedding to go smoothly, the parents of both parties made full preparations almost after they wrote to their families and mentioned the incident——

After receiving the letter, Xiao He's parents came directly to Xianyang without saying a word. They bought a house with the money Xiao He had saved over the years and immediately found a matchmaker. With the help of Liu Bang and Fan Kui who came back early After preparing everything needed for the wedding, she immediately went to Xiao's house to propose marriage;

Xiao's parents were already worried about her marriage, but now that they heard that she was willing to get married, and directly found a fiancé-in-law for herself who was good-looking and good-looking, how could she not be willing?

Like Xiao He's parents, they immediately got busy and started preparing for Xiao He's dowry.

When Xiao He's family sent someone to propose marriage, although Xiao's parents, who had been prepared for a long time, still refused according to the custom, they left the other party at home for a meal, and by the way discussed how to go about the wedding process.

After the meeting of the two families, the progress was even more rapid. When Xiao He and Xiao were free during the busy farming season——

The busy farming is almost the busiest time of the year for all the people, but Xiao He and Xiao are more leisurely than other times this year because the people in Jiancheng go home for the busy farming.

If not, the two would not have thought of taking the opportunity to get married.

But even so, the two never thought about it...

As soon as they returned to Xianyang, they were told that the wedding date was set on the auspicious day half a month later, and that the preliminary preparations for the wedding were almost done. just fine.

The two who thought that they would be busy turning over this time when they came back: "..."

Because they never thought that their family members would surpass them to prepare for the wedding, they also notified Meng Tian, ​​Han Xin and others in Jiuyuan County and other places. The other ministers didn't know that the two of them were going to get married!

Human relations in the officialdom are a big question, and if you don't pay attention, you may offend people.

After discovering that their family members had even set a wedding date, the two of them didn't care about taking a rest. They immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote countless invitations, and sent them out as soon as possible——

If they don't tell their bosses and colleagues who are going to invite them about their wedding date as soon as possible, so that they can make preparations early and make time for attending the wedding, I'm afraid it will be a mess.

Officials of the Qin Dynasty did not have fixed holidays, and they had to ask for leave if they had something to do.

In addition to the bosses, colleagues and other officials who have met in Xianyang City who need to send wedding invitations to invite each other to the wedding banquet, people who the two met in the grassland and have already handed out wedding invitations also need to write to each other to inform each other of the wedding date.

After all, when they sent out the invitation, they didn't know the specific wedding date.

Of course, I didn't even know that I was going to get married in half a month.

So it was less than a day since the two came back, and the people who had acquaintance with them not only knew the news that the two were about to get married, but also knew the "efforts" made by their parents for their wedding.

Because the commotion was too loud, and the wedding date was indeed too close, there was no way to hide the ins and outs of this matter.

As a result, even the ministers of the DPRK and China who had never received the invitation knew about their parents' coquettish manipulation.

Because it was really interesting, Lin Qian also listened to it.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, found out about this from his servant——

There is no way, because this matter is so funny that it was heard by a novelist (reporter) in Xianyang City and wrote a manuscript and published it in a newspaper.

Xiao He and Xiao: "..."

It was just an ordinary marriage, yet they became famous all over the country!

Not only is it famous all over the country, but even Ying Zheng and Lin Qian know the news that they are about to get married!

……

Xiao He and Xiao entered the palace today to report the progress of the construction of the grassland city. Unexpectedly, after the progress report, Ying Zheng and Lin Qian would ask about their wedding.

It's kind of funny, but there's really nothing to hide.

So the two of them confessed everything, without hiding anything from Ying Zheng and Lin Qian.

Lin Qian looked at the two standing together like green pines, and for some reason, suddenly remembered a modern poem called "To the Oak Tree" that he had heard in his previous life.

[You have your copper branches and iron trunks, like knives, swords, and halberds; I have my red flowers, like a heavy sigh, and like a heroic torch. 】

She couldn't help but smile knowingly, if these two people really get together, it will be a good story in the future.

However, Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Lin Qian, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Xiao He and Xiao looked at each other, not understanding why the two of them stopped talking, but after years of experience, they were no longer as restless and irritable as they used to be. When Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng didn't speak, they stood quietly He didn't say a word on the spot.

Lin Qian smiled: "I'm a little curious, why did you both come up with the idea of ​​marrying each other?"

Although she thinks that these two people are perfect, but from the way they look at each other and the atmosphere lingering in their own home, it can be seen that although these two people currently appreciate each other and have a high degree of affection, they really have no relationship. The sticky atmosphere between lovers.

Xiao glanced at Xiao He.

Xiao He smiled: "You tell me."

Xiao accepted his kindness, nodded and said, "Actually, it's not a big or unusual thing, it's just very common..."

After a pause, she said with a smile, "Although we are divided into two groups, we actually exchange letters every month about each other's work and problems encountered in the past month. Sometimes, if you encounter something that the other party cannot solve but you are good at , and will go to each other’s cities to meet each other.”

"That incident, I saw it with my own eyes when I went to the city he was in charge of."

……

Xiao He encountered some troubles when planning the city and preparing to build the factory. He had no clue to solve it, so he could only write a letter to Xiao He asking for help.

Xiao didn't refuse, and immediately came to the city he was in charge of.

After finishing everything, Xiao He decided to invite Xiao to dinner.

It happened that Xiao He had established a good relationship with a local herdsman, so he took Xiao directly to the herdsman's house.

But unfortunately, when they went to the herdsman's house, they happened to encounter a father and son quarreling.

The main reason is that the father scolded his son for being unfilial and wanted to drive him away.

But after Xiao He arrived, the father and son fell silent together, and the son even turned around and left the herdsman's residence——

Qin Law's punishment for unfilial people is very heavy, and may even kill the unfilial son.

Seeing that the herdsman himself didn't pursue it, Xiao He didn't say anything more after hesitating. He just asked him to ask him to cook a meal as if nothing happened.

After hesitating for a moment, the other party agreed directly.

After eating, the two left.

But they never thought that the herdsman committed suicide on the night they left.

Xiao was about to leave at first, but stayed after learning about this.

After inquiring about the news, I found out that the herdsman's wife was found to be terminally ill. The herdsman exhausted his family's wealth and still failed to cure his wife. His son felt that treating the other party was a bottomless pit, and he was unwilling to spend money on his mother. .

The herdsman had no choice but to watch his wife slowly die.

……

Xiao He said with some melancholy: "I found out later that the day we passed was actually the anniversary of the death of the herdsman's wife."

Xiao added: "After I experienced this, I thought, when I get old, my parents are gone, and I have someone to accompany me, even if I can't be like that herdsman, at least I won't feel lonely. Thinking that Xiao He has a similar personality to me. , so I asked him if he wanted to marry me."

Lin Qian was stunned: "You proposed marriage?"

And is it a sudden marriage proposal with no emotional foundation?

Xiao lowered her head in embarrassment, and said after a while: "I was emotional at the time, and I didn't think about what I said, so I said whatever came to my mind."

Lin Qian looked at Xiao He: "May I ask you, were you frightened when you heard Xiao's marriage proposal?"

Xiao He glanced at Xiao, and said helplessly, "It seems impossible to say that I wasn't frightened..."

Without waiting for Lin Qian to ask, he said again, "But after calming down, I thought about each other's personalities, family background, identities, etc., and found that we are indeed good marriage partners, so I agreed directly. come down."

Lin Qian: "..."

Ying Zheng looked at the two of them, smiled lightly and said, "You really are a match made in heaven."

Before the two could thank them, Ying Zheng smiled and asked the servant to bring the Four Treasures of the Study, and then wrote a marriage decree with his own hand.

He looked at the two of them: "Live a good life in the future, don't disappoint each other's fate."

Xiao He and the two of them never thought that there would be such a good thing, so they immediately kowtowed to thank them.

……

After they left, Lin Qian looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously: "Why did you suddenly think of marrying them?"

Although Yingzheng has promulgated many imperial decrees on bestowing marriages, most of them were given to princes, princesses and disbanded concubines, and to courtiers. This was the first time.

Ying Zheng looked at Lin Qian, and suddenly said: "'You have your copper branches and iron trunks, like knives, swords, and halberds; I have my red flowers, like a heavy sigh, and like a heroic torch. '"

Lin Qian was stunned: "Why do you..."

She laughed and looked at Ying Zheng: "Did I read this poem just now?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "Very well written."

Lin Qian rolled her eyes with a smile on her face: "Of course it's very good, this is my favorite poem."

With that said, she got up and was about to leave.

Just now, it happened that Lin Qian had something to report to Ying Zheng, and then met Xiao He and Xiao, but now that she has heard all the gossip and the things that should be reported, she naturally has to leave.

Ying Zheng called him over and asked him to sit beside him.

Lin Qian was a little puzzled, but still walked over: "Is there anything left to say?"

Ying Zheng didn't play around with her either: "The name of this poem is "To the Oak Tree"? Do you remember the whole poem?"

Lin Qian nodded suspiciously. She has always had a good memory. As long as the articles and verses are memorized by heart, they will be firmly remembered in the depths of her mind. They will last forever and will not be forgotten for many years.

Seeing that Ying Zheng was curious, she recited the whole poem directly.

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Qian: "???"

I didn't understand what Ying Zheng meant.

Ying Zheng said, "Remember to go back to the palace early after the value is over. I want to have dinner with you."

Lin Qian's eyes were glued to Ying Zheng's face, and he didn't see anything for a long time.

Helpless, she can only leave first.

When she returned to the Shaofu, Lin Qian couldn't calm down at first, and couldn't help but think about Ying Zheng's abnormal performance today, but soon, she was immersed in her work and completely forgot about the previous point little doubt.

Time flies, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Lin Qian just got up from the bed and was about to dress and wash when he was suddenly dragged into his arms by Ying Zheng.

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him amusedly: "It's early in the morning, what is this for?"

Seeing her calm face, Ying Zheng paused: "It's nothing, I just want to remind my wife to return to the palace early at noon today, I have something to tell you."

Lin Qian wondered: "Is there anything that cannot be said now?"

Ying Zheng laughed: "Indeed."

Lin Qian got up, put her hands on Ying Zheng's sides, and looked into his eyes suspiciously, not wanting to miss any abnormality.

but……

Nothing.

But it's normal, when Ying Zheng really wants to hide his emotions, it's hard for anyone in this world to see the clues from his face.

Lin Qian could only get up full of doubts.

For some reason, she was always a little restless today, even when she was dealing with official documents, her mind would be distracted.

This is not good.

Lin Qian was worried that he might mishandle a certain official document, so he simply returned to Xianyang Palace ahead of schedule.

Who would have thought that when she returned to the palace, she would find that Ying Zheng was rarely in the main hall.

Lin Qian was about to ask, but saw a servant coming forward: "Ma'am, Your Majesty is out of the palace for something, and will be back soon, please wait a while, Madam."

Lin Qian paused, and simply walked to the place where Ying Zheng usually dealt with government affairs and sat down.

Yingzheng's desk case is neat and simple, with almost nothing except the necessary things, which is pleasing to the eye.

Lin Qian didn't move, but casually took out a book from the nearby bookshelf.

But it may be because she always stays in the palace with Ying Zheng, never alone in the main hall, so even if Lin Qian is holding a book in her hand, she can't always read it.

Just like when I was in Shaofu before.

Lin Qian belatedly realized that her emotions were not right, and always felt that...

I seem to have forgotten something important?

But she couldn't remember it anyway, so she could only let herself be unable to extricate herself from this emotion.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Qian couldn't take it anymore, and got up to go to Ying Zheng.

The servant immediately stepped forward: "Madam, Your Majesty will be back soon."

Lin Qian frowned: "I'm not going to look for His Majesty, I'm going to the kitchen."

The servant whispered, "Madam, if there is anything you want the kitchen to cook, you can directly ask the slave, and the slave can come to the kitchen to bring it for you."

Lin Qian looked at the waiter and paused: "There's something wrong with you..."

The waiter was taken aback: "Madam misunderstood. If there is something wrong with Nu, please ask Madam to correct me, and Nu will definitely correct it as soon as possible."

Lin Qian raised her eyebrows: "It's even more strange."

The servant's head was sweating profusely, and he secretly groaned in his heart.

Lin Qian caught his expression in his eyes, and was about to continue to ask, when suddenly he heard a series of hurried footsteps, followed by a loud "bang".

Lin Qian turned her head when she heard the sound, and walked out immediately.

Then she saw Ying Zheng standing in the yard, looking down at the two trees on the ground.

She stepped forward in a daze: "This is?"

Oak and kapok?

Ying Zheng pursed his lips: "Birthday gift."
