Chapter 113: Femme Fatale Princess of the Lost Nation x Paranoid Madman Emperor of the Enemy Nation
Xun'er and Tangtang stood obediently beside their mother.
After seeing their mother kneel, the brother and sister slowly knelt down as well. Although they didn't quite understand what it meant, they showed a rare obedient look. After all, Tangtang usually couldn't stand for more than three minutes before running. If she didn't run, it was as if she had endless energy...
In a blink of an eye, Queen Chen went to see the two little guys her daughter was holding... The moment she saw Yuntang, Queen Chen was sure that this was her daughter's child. He looked exactly like her daughter when she was a child, as cute as ice and snow.
A pair of big, bright black eyes stared at her, and she licked her little hands, as if shyly calling her grandma...
Now everything was clear. Qi Huan's son and daughter were real, born to their daughter... and now their daughter was the Queen of Qin...
The whole family was crying and laughing. Yun Qian was actually a little surprised. After all... but her parents seemed to have let it go a lot. It was their fault that they could not protect the country and foundation of their ancestors. It was also the general trend. It was the same for all countries.
Furthermore, Qi Huan treated the people of all nations equally, so true integration was only a matter of time. Under his rule, the administration of officials was even more transparent, and his discerning eye led to the appreciation of many capable officials.
In this fictional era, a scholar would die for his friend, and Qi Huan was even more devoted to him. Although Qi Huan was notoriously bad-tempered and annoying, his ability was unquestionable.
A prince in the cold palace, without strong support from his outside family, and whose mother was not favored for a long time, he fought his way out of the siege on his own, conquered the east and the west and pacified the various countries.
During dinner, the family tacitly agreed not to mention anyone who shouldn't be mentioned, or anyone who would make them feel awkward... They seemed to be having just an ordinary family reunion...
Mr. Xia and Empress Chen each held a little one in their arms. Naturally, they couldn't let go of their eldest daughter's grandchildren. Tangtang thought her grandmother was sweet and fragrant, just like her mother, and she wouldn't let go of her when eating.
Yun Qian saw Yun Sheng again, her biological brother from the same father and mother, after two years. The boy's serious expression didn't seem to suit his age. And how could he be happy being confined like this by Qi Huan? Thinking of this, Yun Qian couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Even after dinner, Yun Qian showed no sign of leaving. She stayed with her mother for a long time, the two of them sitting in Empress Chen's bedroom, watching her prematurely graying hair. Yun Qian couldn't help but feel a slight pang of sadness. In her memory, her mother always looked unhappy, but she always cared deeply for her. She not only raised her like a princess, but also taught her how to be strong. Yun Qian had been trained in martial arts by her mother since she was a child, while she herself had always been confined to the deep palace.
Yun Qian finally couldn't help but ask her, "Mother, do you want to leave, leave father?"
Chen Hou's eyes instantly became a little gray, as if the originally clear glass had turned gray and hairy.
Finally, she shook her head and said, "Mother no longer has any wishes. She only hopes that you can live a good life. If you and Yunsheng are happy, then Mother will be happy."
Yun Qian looked at her mother's eyes, which had been worn by time. She was speechless and could only hold back the sobs in her throat. She nodded, indicating that she understood...
Indeed, there are too many mothers like this in the world, who would rather sacrifice themselves than see their children suffer. But Yun Qian also wondered, is there really anyone who doesn't feel pain in their heart when sacrificing themselves?
Finally, she touched her brother Yunsheng's head and said only, "Grow up well." After bidding farewell to her parents, she took Xun'er and Tangtang's hands again and turned to leave. She didn't look back, but she knew her parents were watching her, silently watching her leave.
As a princess, she didn't really have much to say about it. She had only just arrived on the day the city fell. Although she wasn't entirely sure what had gone wrong with Xia's internal affairs, even if there had been no problems, the country's demise was inevitable, and defeat was inevitable.
Killing Qi Huan will not bring any benefit to the people of the world.
She is not just a princess of the Xia Kingdom. She remembers her true identity, so she will not be completely swept away by the times and her identity as a princess of a fallen country.
No dynasty or country can last forever. Yun Qian is a modern person after all, and she came here to complete a mission.
Even though she hadn't spent much time with her family, she sincerely hoped they would all be happy... Lord Xia had far more to do with than just Empress Chen. Normally, an emperor wouldn't place his affections on women in his harem. In the eyes of people of that era, women were merely tools for him to continue his family line...
That's why she asked Queen Chen if she wanted to leave and live a different life. At first, she was also conflicted about whether to just leave. She could do it, and what she said at the beginning wasn't entirely to scare Qi Huan. After all, she could still clear her emotions...
She had previously thought Qi Huan was crazy, and she was determined to leave because she felt Qi Huan didn't treat her as herself.
People in high positions like this always treat others as their most precious pets and playthings, and she doesn't want that kind of life. Even though she can feel that Qi Huan is a very insecure person and really wants to be with her, but, what does that have to do with her?
She did everything she wanted to do. She accepted the fact that she was found.
People must always have the courage to bear the price.
At this time, Qi Huan was standing outside the gate of Xia Gong's mansion. He wanted to go in, but then he remembered Yun Qian's instructions. In the end, he did not take that step and chose to continue waiting.
Fortunately, he waited.
----
When Qi Huan personally ordered the compilation of his dynasty's history, he initially didn't request much commemoration of his achievements, but instead showered his only wife with effusive praise. Later, feeling that this didn't reflect their perfect match, he requested that their daily lives also be recorded...
Before Qi Huan conquered the world, there were indeed many voices that considered him a tyrant.
Unfortunately, he never kills innocent people. He only kills those who stand in his way.
But since his reputation is well known, some people are only willing to believe what he believes. Explanations are meaningless, and actions are far more valuable than words.
The historical records about Yun Qian not only praise her for how deeply loved she was as the queen, but also for her contribution to childbearing.
In that era, Yun Qian didn't have many children. Initially, there were people who pleaded with the emperor to have more children, but Qi Huan always shot them down. Yun Qian had promised not to have more children, and that was it.
After all, she could guarantee that the two children would grow up healthy and not be at risk of dying prematurely...
History books mostly record Yun Qian's talents and contributions in various aspects... Later, Yun Qian exchanged many skills from the system, including some skills of skilled craftsmen and agricultural experts. The system's brain is connected to the database... In this way, the wealth she created for the Qin State was incalculable, the treasury was full, and there was no more war in the world.
The rivers are clear and the seas are calm, and the world is at peace.
Some of the tools made by Yun Qian, although not enough to make productivity leap by a thousand miles, have at least made a hundred miles of progress.
Qi Huan knew, but didn't quite know.
He doesn't care.
As long as it's her.
