The deep and magnetic male voice echoed in Chu Yuening's ears, as if a light feather tickled her, and the tingling and numb feeling made her tremble slightly.
A burning sensation quickly spread to the tips of her fair ears. She lowered her head shyly, avoiding the man's fiery gaze, and gently opened the wooden box in her hand.
What caught my eye was an extremely peculiar string of beads, green as orchid, warm and lustrous, with delicate texture and no flaws. I wonder what kind of jade it was carved from.
Chu Yuening curiously held it in her palm and examined it carefully. Unexpectedly, the color of the beads suddenly turned into a bright white, shining brightly in the bright moonlight, dazzling.
Such a magical scene made her breath stop. Her slender fingers subconsciously stroked the delicate and moist jade beads. Seeing that they turned back to green, an astonishing guess came to her mind.
"A Zheng, could this string of beads be made of the Heshi Bi?"
"Well, I have already given Yue Ning the Sui Hou Pearl, so the He Shi Bi is indispensable."
"Thank you, A Zheng, I like it very much~"
After getting the man's confirmation, Chu Yuening was both happy and excited. This was the legendary He Shi Bi!
King Zhao of Qin was once willing to exchange fifteen cities of Qin for the Heshi Bi, but he gave up in disappointment because of Lin Xiangru's move of "returning the Heshi Bi intact to Zhao".
After the Qin Dynasty unified China, the Heshi Bi was made into the imperial seal by Qin Shi Huang and passed down.
In Chinese history, emperors of all dynasties regarded it as a treasure and regarded it as a national treasure. After several generations, it disappeared at the end of the Later Tang Dynasty.
Since then, it has become an unsolved mystery for later generations.
Its preciousness lies not only in its own value, but also in the supreme imperial power it is endowed with, and more importantly, in the cultural and historical significance it represents.
Seeing that his young wife was immersed in excitement and had not yet noticed the surprise he had prepared, a trace of helplessness flashed between Ying Zheng's brows, and he had to remind her.
"Yuening, please look at it carefully for a moment."
"Um?"
Chu Yuening came back to her senses and frowned in confusion. After meeting the man's smiling eyes, she obediently followed his instructions and observed Yuzhu more carefully.
As the light changes, the color of the jade beads changes from green to white, and the center seems to flash with a little golden light. The dazzling colors add a touch of mystery and nobility.
Unconsciously, she looked more and more intently, a trace of golden light reflected in her clear pupils, slowly forming golden characters, and she opened her lips and whispered softly.
"My dear...my wife..."
"My dear wife, you are as bright as the moon..."
"My heart will not be moved...death is the only thing."
"My heart remains unchanged, and death is not about anything else."
The woman's soft whispers gradually overlapped with the deep male voice, and the bright and clear light poured out, covering the lovers with a hazy moon veil.
Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and stared at his lover. His face became more handsome and elegant under the moonlight, and his expression was extremely pious and solemn.
After reading it, Chu Yuening looked a little dazed.
She raised her head and her eyes met the man's. His deep, dark pupils were filled with tenderness and affection, like a bottomless vortex pulling her in.
She held the beads tightly, and the cool and smooth touch gradually warmed her palm. She stared at the man in the moonlight for a long time, and suddenly she had an epiphany in her heart.
A Zheng's love is like the Heshi jade beads, rare and precious, yet hidden deep within. Ordinary people cannot get a glimpse of it, yet it surges towards her like the sea.
In the silent and empty palace, endless love flowed slowly between the two. After a long time, Ying Zheng was the first to break the silence.
"Yuening, let me put it on for you."
"good."
Chu Yuening stretched out her hand, and her wide sleeves slipped down, revealing a slender wrist that was whiter than snow, with a delicate and lustrous luster under the soft green.
Ying Zheng held the woman's fair wrist with one hand and picked up the beads with the other, putting them on gently. After putting them on, he did not let go, but lowered his eyes to admire them.
A touch of peerless color is added to the wrist as white as jade, making it look more radiant and gorgeous.
He couldn't help but lean over and place a kiss on it. The light pink kiss mark seemed to be engraved with an exclusive mark, which made him squint his eyes in satisfaction, and the possessiveness deep in his heart was slightly satisfied.
Chu Yuening stared at the traces that looked like cherry blossoms, and a layer of attractive light blush covered her little face. She held the man's big hand and shook it, the sound as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"A Zheng, it's late, let's go get some rest."
"Um."
Ying Zheng responded gently, then picked up his little wife horizontally and walked steadily towards the bed. Under the gentle moonlight, their shadows gradually overlapped and merged.
In early May, autumn deepens. The mountains, forests and fields are all golden. The branches are bent with abundant fruits. The farmers' joyful laughter resounds in every corner of Daqin.
It was another harvest season, and Ying Zheng was naturally very happy.
He read the secret memorials from all over the country, and the excitement between his brows could not be concealed. Good weather, peace and prosperity in the world were the best compliments for the emperor.
Chu Yuening, who was standing by, also smiled when she heard the news. In the Qin Dynasty where the people had just enough food and clothing, nothing was more joyful than a good harvest.
Just as the two were happy, Zhao Gao came in respectfully to report.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's smile faded and his brows furrowed. Li Si's request for a meeting must be about the new Qin law, but the imperial physician diagnosed that Yue Ning would give birth in the next few days.
Although everything was ready, he still wanted to stay by his wife's side and accompany her through this difficult time.
Chu Yuening noticed her lover's worry, she winked at him playfully and spoke softly to comfort him.
"A Zheng, please go and get busy. Prime Minister Li seems to have something important to discuss with you."
