"I don't want to." Wang Mengjie immediately refused. She looked at Qin Shihuang's hand that was holding hers. Strangely, she could feel his presence. His hand was so slender and beautiful. She subconsciously wanted to hold it tightly, but she was afraid that if she used force, it would pass through his body. It was as if she was holding air.
Qin Shihuang looked at his hand and saw Wang Mengjie looking at him in shock. He let go awkwardly and coughed a few times.
Wang Mengjie also looked away in embarrassment. Her face was red as she stretched out her hand. It was a very strange feeling. He could hold her hand, and she could feel his presence, but she just couldn't touch him. She suddenly wanted to know how it felt to hold his hand.
When she realized what she was thinking, she instantly felt embarrassed. She was so embarrassed that even her ears turned red.
Looking at Wang Mengjie's blushing face, Qin Shihuang realized something. Did he give her the wrong impression? He coughed a few more times and said,""It's just a joke between friends. Don't misunderstand.”
"Hmm?" Wang Mengjie did not react for a moment and looked at Qin Shihuang.
Then, he smiled awkwardly and put his hands behind his back. He nodded with a smile and said,"I know, of course, it's a joke between friends. I told you that this era is very open, and it's not the era you're in.”
Wang Mengjie tried her best to hide her inner thoughts. Sometimes, when she lied too much, she would be deceived and persuaded. How could she have a good impression of a ghost? How funny.
Looking at Wang Mengjie who was trying her best to argue, Qin Shihuang smiled indifferently. He didn't know how to explain it to her. Such an explanation probably wouldn't make her fall in love with him.
To resolve the awkwardness, Wang Mengjie said,""Let's go home. It's getting late.”
"Yes." Qin Shi Huang nodded.
Wang Mengjie walked in front and quickly passed through the crowd. She couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She actually had feelings for a soul. Moreover, would friends hold hands when joking? He even hugged her. Was he bullying her because she had never had a boyfriend or friends before, so she did not know what kind of boundary was considered a boyfriend and a girlfriend?
Seeing Wang Mengjie remain silent, Qin Shihuang followed behind her quietly. She should understand what she was thinking. She was not sure if she would fall in love with him. Perhaps she just wanted to find Ling Yue's shadow in her. This was very unfair to her. At least she should not fall in love with him.
Wang Mengjie pouted and thought angrily. Was he hinting that they were just friends? He really felt good about himself. Who would like him? However, he began to be curious. As the emperor, he should have many concubines, but he had never heard of them. Oh right, the love between the second wife and the third wife had been shown in television dramas. Or did it really exist?
After thinking for a long time, Wang Mengjie asked,""Do you know about the mistress?"
"Then who is it?" Qin Shihuang looked at Wang Mengjie in confusion.
Looking at Qin Shihuang's eyes, did he really not know, or was he just pretending? Forget it, I'll explain it to him. I smiled and said,"According to the folk legend, the Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng, fell in love with a Handan woman called Epangnu when he was young. After the Qin Emperor unified the world, he wanted to make her his queen, but he was opposed by all the ministers because she was a Zhao woman. In order not to make things difficult for Ying Zheng, the mistress hanged herself. The Qin Emperor built Epang Palace in memory of the woman he loved deeply.”
"Who made up such a romantic and tragic story for me?”Qin Shihuang asked with a smile.
"You are a famous person in history. It is inevitable that there will be some rumors about your relationship. Then why did you build Epang Palace?”Wang Mengjie was addicted to asking and suddenly wanted to know.
"The symbol of power. Epang Palace is the center of the renovation.”Qin Shi Huang said simply because everything had already become the past and was not worth mentioning.
However, Wang Mengjie was very curious. Why did they give it such a name? "Since it's such an important place, you must have been very careful when you named it, right?" Why did it have to be called such a name?”
Seeing Wang Mengjie so insistent on getting to the bottom of things, did she really believe in the legend of the mistress? This was just a casual name. What it meant now was that the palace in that place had no other purpose at all. However, he did not want to rush to explain.
Wang Mengjie looked at Qin Shihuang and wanted to know what his explanation was.
"Why are you so interested in my affairs?”Qin Shihuang raised his eyebrows and asked. He quickly approached Wang Mengjie and carefully sized her up.
She took a small step back guiltily. Why was this guy suddenly so close to her? She tried her best to hide her guilt and looked elsewhere."What do you mean interested? You're a celebrity, and there are so many rumors. Everyone has a gossipy heart.”
Seeing her nervous explanation, Qin Shihuang smiled. Perhaps he was really thinking too much. After all, she was still a student. He stood up straight and said,"As expected, I was thinking too much?"
"Ah?" Wang Mengjie asked in confusion. Then, she guessed that he was talking about liking him. He was indeed overthinking it. How could he possibly like a ghost? Moreover, it was the Tyrant's ghost.
"It's nothing." Qin Shihuang smiled and said, then strode forward.
Wang Mengjie also smiled in relief. She didn't think about these things and had quite a lot of fun. She would just continue to be friends like this. She smiled and caught up with Qin Shihuang."Why are you walking so fast? Do you know the way?"
"I've already been there once. I'm not an idiot.”Qin Shihuang said it as a matter of course. How could a person who had no sense of direction live?
Wang Mengjie nodded helplessly. He was not an ordinary person to begin with. Speaking of which, he could not be considered a human. It was not difficult for them to find a topic to talk about as he happily followed Qin Shihuang around. She smiled and said,"Let me teach you how to read the words of this era.”
"Sure," Qin Shihuang said with a smile.
As expected of a studious person, Wang Mengjie praised Qin Shihuang in her heart.
"By the way, what did you write on the paper today? Why did that teacher ask if you have a grudge against me?”Qin Shihuang seemed to have thought of something and asked casually. However, he had been concerned about it for a long time. He just didn't have the right opportunity to ask. Now, the right opportunity had come.
"Ah?" Wang Mengjie didn't react in time, but she reacted immediately after she said 'ah'. She shook her head and said,"It's nothing."
Qin Shihuang stared at Wang Mengjie and stroked his chin.""Very suspicious."
"Where?" Wang Mengjie said with a fake smile.
" Do you know how to deceive the emperor?" Qin Shihuang dragged out his voice and waited for Wang Mengjie's reaction.
Wang Mengjie knew what Qin Shihuang was going to say. This was a blatant threat. She immediately said,""I know. Isn't it good if I say it? We're already friends, yet you're always putting on airs with me.”
Qin Shihuang smiled and said," You're used to threatening me. Tell me the truth. Why did that teacher ask that?"”
"I wrote your name on it and drew the wrong number.”Wang Mengjie said.
Qin Shihuang stroked his chin thoughtfully and said,""Is this the same as the witchcraft of my era? It was like taking a small person to write the person's birth characters and getting a needle.”
Wang Mengjie broke out in a cold sweat. If it was really the same, then wouldn't she be plotting against the Emperor now? He immediately shook his head and said,"Completely different!"
"What does that mean?" Qin Shihuang raised his eyebrows and asked. He was very satisfied with Wang Mengjie's expression of fear and denial.
Wang Mengjie smiled awkwardly and said," I don't mean anything special. I'm just angry. I just did it casually. What witchcraft? It's too serious."”
"I see that you didn't mean it and I won't argue with you. Didn't you want to teach me how to read?”Qin Shi Huang said with a smile.
The emperor's mind was really broad. He didn't care about such small things. Wang Mengjie admired Qin Shihuang more and more. She had a good impression of him. She smiled and began to tell Qin Shihuang.
They returned home while chatting and laughing. Then, just as Qin Shihuang had expected, Wang Mengjie went to help out at home with all kinds of work.
He only stopped before going to bed at night. Qin Shihuang lay on the ground in boredom and said,"Are you always so busy? You don't even have time to accompany me."
"When did it change to me? You don't need me anymore?" Wang Mengjie complained.
Qin Shi Huang smiled. Was this what he was paying attention to? He smiled and said,"It's time to change some strange habits.”
Wang Mengjie smiled. This emperor wasn't that difficult to get along with. Why did everyone say that he was a tyrant? It was strange. As she thought about it, she laid down a summer sleeping mat on the ground.
Qin Shi Huang got down from the bed and lay down on the summer sleeping mat. He asked,"You don't have to go to school tomorrow, right? Let's find a place to play!"
"Although it's said to be three days of preparation, it's not good to leave early today.”Wang Mengjie said with a smile.
Qin Shihuang nodded helplessly and said,""That's true. You should properly integrate into the group.”
"Is this a disguised way of saying that I'm an unsociable person?”Wang Mengjie looked at Qin Shihuang unkindly.
"You said it yourself." Qin Shihuang looked at Wang Mengjie and said.
Wang Mengjie lay weakly on the bed and said,""Ah, I'm so tired. Time to sleep!"
"What? But I'm not sleepy. You can chat with me for a while.”Qin Shihuang said.
Wang Mengjie had already closed her eyes and said,""But I'm sleepy. I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow. How can I not sleep well?”
"But I'm so bored!" Qin Shihuang continued to speak, not wanting Wang Mengjie to sleep peacefully.
Wang Mengjie was also used to it. Every day before going to bed, Qin Shihuang would not let her go unless she was dragged by him to chat until she was extremely sleepy. She said helplessly,"Alright, I'll chat with you. I'll ask you very gossipy questions. Are you sure you still want to pester me to chat with you?”
