As night fell, Chu Xi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
After a while, she sighed with melancholy, put on a coat and walked into the yard, looking up at the vast night sky quietly, but her heart was surging with waves.
A great ideal gradually sprouted in his heart, and his clear apricot eyes reflected thousands of stars, sparkling and brilliant.
Chu Xi did not sleep all night.
At the same time, in Qinian Palace.
Chu Yuening stared at her husband's haggard handsome face, her furrowed brows filled with heartache. Her fingers gently stroked the dark circles under his eyes, as if she wanted to wipe away all the fatigue.
"Yuening, don't worry about me. This is the emperor's responsibility."
Ying Zheng held his young wife's fair wrist and kissed her tender palm, his half-closed eyes filled with more affection.
Recently, due to the revision of new laws and the county examination, he has been several times busier than usual, often discussing government affairs with ministers all night long.
If it weren't for his wife's insistence tonight, he would probably still be chatting late into the night in Zhangtai Palace.
"But A Zheng, you are not a god, but a human. You will also get tired and need a good rest."
"A Zheng, you push yourself too hard."
"There's still a lot of time left, let's take it slow, okay?"
Chu Yuening held up her lover's face and looked at him seriously. Her bright eyes were as hazy as a quiet pool, reflecting the bright and clear light. Her extreme tenderness made people fall in love with her.
A Zheng basically only rested for two hours a day in recent days. Even though he took fitness pills, it still damaged his energy and spirit.
Although A Zheng did not reveal his true feelings, how could she not know his ambitions?
Ying Zheng gazed at those beautiful eyes for a long time, understanding the heartache and sorrow in them. The restlessness in his heart seemed to be instantly soothed by a clear spring.
"Okay, Yue Ning, I promise you."
He pressed his forehead against the woman's, their noses touching, their breaths mingling together. There was no ambiguous charm, only quiet beauty. He whispered back.
After getting the man's promise, Chu Yuening smiled and playfully kissed the cherry pink girl who was close to her. Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she looked like a smart little fox.
The unexpected "attack" made Ying Zheng smile silently. He stared at the rosy and plump lips, then clasped the back of the woman's head with his big hand and returned a lingering and passionate kiss.
Seeing her blurred eyes, he loosened his grip, and gently stroked her flushed cheeks with his fingertips, his lazy and magnetic voice mixed with sexy moans.
"Yuening, go to sleep."
"Yeah, A Zheng needs to sleep too. You can't sneak off to Zhangtai Palace in the middle of the night anymore."
"How could that be? I am not someone who goes back on his word."
"Well... okay, then I'll go to sleep~"
Chu Yuening leaned her back against her lover's broad arms, wrapped his arms around her waist, and clasped her small hands tightly with his big hands. Only then did she close her eyes with peace of mind.
Humph, let’s see where A Zheng will run now?
Last time, while she was sleeping soundly, he got up at Yinshi (three o'clock in the morning) and went to Zhangtai Palace to handle government affairs. If she hadn't gotten up at night, she really wouldn't have noticed.
Ying Zheng could only smile helplessly at his young wife's vigilance.
He clasped the soft, boneless jade hand behind his back, rested his chin on the dark hair, and fell into a sweet dream accompanied by a faint fragrance.
The next day, Chu Yue stared at the man who came to have breakfast with her, and a light smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
It seems that A Zheng did not treat himself perfunctorily. In the past few days, he had meals in between handling government affairs, and sometimes he even forgot to eat when he was busy.
Zhao Gao and other palace servants only dared to remind him occasionally and did not dare to urge him too much, for fear of displeasing the emperor.
After all, His Majesty is only gentle when facing the Queen and the little prince. At other times, he is still the arbitrary, cold and majestic Qin Shi Huang.
After finishing the meal, Ying Zheng tied up the loose hair on the side of his wife's face. The tenderness in his eyes almost turned into water. He rubbed his wife's fair little face with his fingertips and gave her careful instructions.
"Yuening, I'm going to take care of government affairs. You are in poor health now, so if you have anything to say, just tell the palace maids. Don't try to be stubborn."
"Yeah, got it! Ah Zheng, go get busy, and remember to come back early at noon~"
"Yeah, I got it! Dad, go get busy and come back soon~"
Chu Yuening responded with a smile, and Ying Zhao on the side also imitated his mother's tone to instruct his father, and his serious little face looked even more adorable.
The mother and son both looked up, the man's figure reflected in their clear pupils, and their sparkling eyes seemed to have stars twinkling.
Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng felt warm in his heart, as if he was soaking in spring water, and his tired soul was injected with endless vitality.
From now on, he has to protect not only the Qin Dynasty, not only the people of the world, but also... his home.
After Ying Zheng left, Chu Yuening packed the little schoolbag for the boy, kissed his chubby face, and coaxed him softly.
"Zhao Zhao, it's time to go to class."
"This is the schoolbag that mom made especially for Zhao Zhao. It can be used to carry books or drawing paper."
"Wow! There's a dragon! So majestic! Zhao Zhao loves it!"
Ying Zhao's eyes lit up and he immediately became very enthusiastic about attending class. After saying goodbye to his mother, he skipped out of Qinian Palace.
On the way, he couldn't let go of the dark golden dragon embroidery, his little eyebrows raised proudly, and he would show it off to every palace servant he met.
Hey, this is the little schoolbag that my dear mother made for Zhao Zhao~
There isn't even a father!
As soon as Zizi left, Chu Yuening was the only one left in Qinian Palace.
But she was not bored. The autumn harvest was approaching, and the counties that had previously implemented regional economy needed to plan ahead for the opening of factories. Also, the dormitory building in the southern suburbs would be completed soon, and the resettlement of workers was also a major project.
