The frowning Ying Zheng raised his head angrily and saw Shu Li holding a wine bottle in his hand, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
He will never forget this appearance and these eyes.
Suddenly, the memory was pulled to that evening when the night gradually swallowed up the glow of the sun.
She said she saw me ascending to the throne at the age of thirteen, seeing me dominate the world, seeing me slaughter six kingdoms, and seeing me creating achievements for eternity.
She said her name was Shuli, the descendant of Guigu after Li Mu, and the adopted daughter of Zhao Changanjun.
She said that when I ascend the throne, she will come to congratulate you.
All kinds of thoughts finally merged into one sentence, "You are here." Ying Zheng said, as if he was asking Shu Li, but also as if he was giving an answer to himself.
"I'm here." Shu Li replied, taking the wine bottle in her hand and slowly filling Ying Zheng a glass of wine, "I said I would come."
Ying Zheng said softly "Hmm".
He actually had a lot of things he wanted to say over the years, and he also thought about what it would be like when he saw Shu Li again, and how he would tell him about his life, study, and loneliness in Qin for so many years.
"You have changed a bit." Shuli poured himself a glass of wine and said. This was the first time Shuli took the initiative to drink since he came to this world.
"Have I changed?" Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing, smiled softly, and asked with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "What do you think I have changed?"
Shu Li looked at Ying Zheng up and down, then chuckled and said, "Everything."
"Hahahahaha" Ying Zheng laughed loudly. This was one of the few times since he returned to Qin that he laughed from the bottom of his heart. "Maybe, but isn't that what you want?"
Ying Zheng's sharp eyes were fixed on Shu Li, and the feeling of oppression from the royal family went directly to Shu Li. If a servant was stared at like this, he would have been unable to bear it and would have thrown himself on the ground and begged for forgiveness.
Shu Li looked back at Ying Zheng's eyes calmly, but there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes, and said, "Perhaps, I prefer that stupid and silly child who follows me and calls me one after another."
"Really?" Ying Zheng withdrew his aggressive gaze, but a subtle loneliness flashed across his eyes, and he smiled contemptuously and said, "But people will change after all."
Perhaps, he was naive before and always thought that only good people in this world are bad people.
Later, he secretly discovered that the people around him always had two faces. He didn't like it very much, so he asked the waiter to change a batch. Later, he found that the new batch was the same. After changing several batches in a row, he gradually got used to it.
.
Survival, this is what he saw and learned from the servants around him, and it was also what he first learned in the palace.
At the same time, the Prime Minister also arranged a special teacher for him, and sometimes he would even come to teach him personally and answer his questions.
Slowly, whether it was because he had been with the Prime Minister for a long time or because he had learned a lot, he began to learn to hide himself and learn to disguise himself.
The naive Zhao Zheng had already died the moment he returned to Qin.
"Yes, people will change after all." Shu Li lowered her eyes and agreed.
Shuli herself didn’t know how much she had changed in her past life or this life, or maybe nothing had changed at all. But if she found the traces left by her past life and compared them, she would find that Shuli had changed too much.
I just didn't notice it myself.
Just like Ying Zheng, Shu Li felt that he had changed, but he just felt that he had grown up and learned more.
Ying Zheng raised the wine bottle, and Shu Li also raised the wine bottle with both hands, colliding with each other in the air.
The stimulating feeling goes straight to the taste buds, stirring the sensitive tongue, and then rushes down the throat, and the burning sensation also follows the throat and enters the abdomen.
"You don't know how to drink?" Ying Zheng looked at Shu Li's reaction and put down the bottle of wine and asked.
Shu Li frowned, slowly put down the wine bottle, and replied, "I've had some, but not like this."
She drank fruit wine, beer, and cocktails, but they were all low-alcohol wines in her previous life.
Ying Zheng stood up silently and went somewhere. Soon he came back with a jade bottle in his hand, placed it in front of Shu Li and sat down, "Drink this, it is not as spicy as Qin wine."
Shuli glanced at the jade bottle lightly. It looked familiar. Yes, it was fruit vinegar customized by the [Shang Alliance] for princes and nobles.
"Thank you." Shu Li said softly.
Ying Zheng said softly "Hmm".
Then the palace fell into silence again.
Ying Zheng poured himself one cup after another of wine, and then drank it all.
Shu Li silently poured herself some fruit vinegar, taking a sip from time to time, and mostly looking at Ying Zheng quietly.
"Are you still leaving?" Ying Zheng broke the long silence and looked directly at Shu Li. Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still wanted to ask again.
"I" met Ying Zheng's gaze, and Shu Li subconsciously avoided it, "I will not leave until you officially ascend the throne."
"Then do you think that after becoming King of Qin, I am no longer worthy of your nostalgia?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Li suddenly turned her head to look at Ying Zheng. She was about to refute, but when she looked at Ying Zheng's eyes that were filled with the majesty of the king, she couldn't say what she said. She turned her head and finally
Only two words were spoken: "No."
Ying Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Shu Li's hand, held it in his hand, and said in a solemn voice, "Look at me."
Shu Li didn't know what was going on, so she turned to look at Ying Zheng, but her eyes were still avoiding her, and she didn't dare to look at Ying Zheng.
"I said look at me." Ying Zheng stood up, bent down, and stared at Shu Li from top to bottom.
Shuli raised her head and stared blankly at Ying Zheng who was right in front of her. Her hands were weakly held by Ying Zheng.
What's wrong with me, why do I feel powerless to resist?
Under the dim candlelight, layers of gauze curtains surrounded the two people. Ying Zheng grabbed Shuli's hands and looked at Shuli from top to bottom. Shuli's hands were held high and raised.
He tilted his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with mist, and the gauze was spread on a black carpet outlined with gold edges.
Ying Zheng's body slowly descended.
Shuli's head gradually turned blank, her brain had shut down. She didn't know what to do or how to do it. She just stared stupidly at Ying Zheng who was getting closer and closer.
The body became weak and the eyes became hazy.
a long time
Shuli's eyes returned, and she just stared blankly at Ying Zheng, whose nose touched her. She wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, but nothing came out. In exchange, Ying Zheng leaned over again.
"Yeah" Shuli said subconsciously.
Ying Zheng raised his head, looked at Shu Li with tender eyes, and asked softly, "Be my queen."
"I" Shuli, whose brain has shut down, is completely unresponsive now.
Ying Zheng leaned forward again, and said with a domineering tone in his soft voice, "I'm not asking you, I'm informing you."
Let’s just say, this is a normal description, but it’s outrageous
