Ying Luan didn't expect that after saying she missed her mother during the day, she would actually see her mother at night.
The black and gold palace is majestic and desolate. The bright yellow candlelight illuminates the emperor's figure, which is very long and makes him look even more lonely.
Day after day, year after year.
The emperor seemed to have become accustomed to being alone.
However, now that there is a small figure by my side, that lonely and cold heart seems to be filled with a touch of warmth.
It is mid-autumn, and the moon tonight is exceptionally round, like a bright and flawless silver plate.
The watery moonlight poured in, adding a touch of tenderness to the cold and hard black and gold palace.
Ying Luan held her cheeks with both hands, admiring the rare beauty.
"Father, the moon is so beautiful tonight!"
"Yes, it is indeed beautiful."
Qin Shi Huang put down his brush, glanced sideways at the bright moon outside the window, and the soft and clear light seeped into his eyes, turning the cold pond into a lake of spring waves.
The beauty of nature always makes people marvel.
The moon is bright and the night is gentle.
The father and daughter quietly admired the moonlight, as if they had forgotten their worries at this moment, leaving only peace and beauty in their hearts.
Just when the atmosphere was quiet, an ethereal female voice broke the silence.
"Luan'er?"
Before the father and daughter could react, the next moment, a cold and gorgeous white figure seemed to travel through the long river of time and space and came stepping on the moon.
Under the bright moonlight, the woman was dressed in a white dress without any makeup, but she was still breathtakingly beautiful, making the heaven and earth pale in comparison.
Her hair was like clouds and mist, her eyebrows were like emerald feathers, her skin was as white as cream, she had a beautiful nose and cherry lips, and her pair of clear autumn eyes seemed to be filled with affection, but her whole temperament was cold and aloof.
It was as if the moon goddess had descended from the moon palace to earth.
It is otherworldly, detached from the mundane world, noble and holy, and can only be admired from afar and not touched.
“Plop! Plop!”
It was the sound of a heartbeat, a violent throbbing in the chest like the roar of a drum, deafening and impossible to ignore.
Qin Shi Huang, a man of great talent, ruthlessness and disdain for romance, never thought that one day he would be distracted by a woman he met for the first time.
He has been in power for half his life and has ruled the world. He has seen countless beauties, and there are also several concubines in the harem who are no less beautiful than the woman in front of him.
But he is not interested in women, and great achievements are his lifelong pursuit.
But for some reason, he had a different feeling for her.
Maybe the moonlight tonight is too beautiful.
Qin Shi Huang suppressed the throbbing in his heart, regained his dignified and steady appearance, and looked at the visitor calmly.
At this time, the mother and daughter were hugging each other affectionately and expressing their longing for each other.
"Mom, I miss you so much~"
"Mother misses Luan'er too. Be good and don't cry. Mother is here."
The woman picked up the tearful little girl, patted her back and soothed her softly.
The maternal radiance that was inadvertently revealed reduced the coldness and indifference around her and added a touch of touching tenderness.
Qin Shi Huang was slightly stunned as he watched this scene quietly. His heart felt as if being brushed by a spring breeze, soft and itchy.
He thought, Zhao Zhao was right.
His mother was indeed a woman as gentle as the bright moon.
The land of gentleness, the tomb of heroes.
He suddenly understood himself in another time and space, who drank from only one scoop of water from the vast expanse of the universe, made her his queen, and loved her deeply without regrets.
If it were him, he would also——
"Your Majesty, thank you for taking care of Luan'er during this time."
The beautiful woman in white bowed gracefully, her voice soft and graceful like the first song of a yellow oriole, but it could not conceal the politeness and alienation in it.
Qin Shihuang felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and those beautiful fantasies disappeared like mirages in the water.
Zhao Zhao was wrong. His mother was clearly a cold woman.
The emperor thought pettily.
That handsome face, which was intimidating without even being angry, also became stern, appearing even more cold and unkind.
"No need to thank me, Luan'er is very well behaved."
Chu Yuening looked at the emperor who showed no emotion at all, and felt that he was angry for some reason, but she didn't know what had offended him.
Oh, it’s so difficult.
Is the First Emperor of every world so arrogant?
Forget it, he is not her Ah Zheng anyway, she doesn’t need to coax him.
"It is late at night, so I will not bother Your Majesty any more."
When Qin Shihuang saw the woman pick up the child and turn away, his face became even colder and gloomier, and a chill emanated from his whole body.
Haha, she is indeed a cold-blooded and heartless woman.
She thanked him for helping her take care of the kid for so long.
This is simply outrageous!
If anyone else had offended him like this, he would have had someone drag him down to build the Great Wall.
"It's curfew now. It's not safe for you, an orphan and a widow, to stay outside. You can stay in the palace and rest for the night."
"Also, Zhao Zhao has been very busy lately, and her whereabouts are uncertain. Instead of searching everywhere, it would be better to wait in the palace."
Chu Yuening was a little surprised when she heard this well-considered arrangement.
Is the Qin Shi Huang of this parallel world so...kind-hearted?
He looks even colder than A Zheng, but I didn't expect that he is a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart.
She smiled faintly, and her voice, as clear and cold as a spring, softened a little.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Qin Shihuang's expression eased a little, and he called the palace maids to arrange a bedroom for the mother and daughter.
A moment later.
The emperor stared at the graceful and elegant figure, his phoenix eyes as deep as the night were dark and unclear, as if there was a ferocious beast about to break out of the cage hidden in his eyes.
After a long time, he withdrew his gaze, picked up the brush, and continued to review memorials at his desk.
Humph, there is no way a woman could affect the speed at which he reviews memorials.
Late at night, Qin Shihuang, who had "got off work" half an hour early, hurried back to his bedroom.
