Chapter 315
"Well, now that you have spent such a long time here, I think you have no choice but to stay here."
Thinking back to the place where she appeared that year, he had always sent people to guard it strictly over the years, but there was no strangeness or change here.
"Alas, who can know the reason? It was just an ordinary and dull afternoon. My friend and I were delayed by trivial matters, and it was already late when we went down the mountain."
Qin Xingfu secretly wondered, if she resolutely went to look for Liu Bang at that time, or if she waited for a year or two before showing up again, would she still be able to return home? After all, Fusu had already passed away by then, and his tomb already existed. If she could find the same time and weather conditions, and then wait patiently, could she cause a similar incident?
However, all this was just her imagination. Time passed by like a white horse, and there was no possibility of reversal. Moreover, Fusu was gentle and easy to get along with. He had noble morals, a broad-minded and cheerful personality, and was just right in dealing with people, which won her heart.
The First Emperor took the cup, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then raised his head to drink the tea in the cup. He slowly put down the cup, and the cup gently touched the table, making a crisp sound. Over the years, he has seen through the person in front of him. She is a straightforward person with a straightforward personality. There is no need to beat around the bush or play tricks when interacting with her.
The First Emperor stared at the woman in front of him with a sharp gaze and asked slowly, "Qin Xingfu, why are you so calm in the face of power?"
If she has not yet started a family and has no one to rely on, then when she learns that she has the opportunity to see her biological parents again, will she stand on the opposite side without hesitation?
Qin Xingfu smiled slightly and responded frankly when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the higher my position, the heavier the responsibility I bear. I am just an ordinary person with a little knowledge compared to you. Moreover, the achievements I have shown now are not obtained through my own efforts. In my world, those who appropriate the achievements of others are called 'plagiarism', which is no different from stealing. I am at most a porter. So far, no real achievements of my own have been published."
The First Emperor never believed that she was such a pure person, and his promotion to her was also meant to test her. A person like Li Si, in the position of prime minister, was somewhat arrogant. Even Ying Gu, who was so honest at the beginning, had been in that position for a long time, and he was still conscientious on weekdays, but he would occasionally say something out of turn when he was drunk.
But after reading the book manuscripts she sent him and learning about the author's life, he still felt sad. Such selfless people still exist, but he has suffered too much betrayal in his life and is unwilling to believe it.
"I hope your family can keep it up forever." Qin Xingfu showed a bitter smile on his face when he heard this. He slowly shook his head, indicating that he did not agree with this.
"Your Majesty, we'd better not speak out these kinds of things that are completely based on personal subjective judgment and expectations, lest others hear and laugh at us! Everything in the world is changing and moving all the time, and people's ideas are even more so. They are constantly changing under the influence of many factors. The reason why I am willing to choose to be tolerant and retreat is simply because I have a more thorough understanding of many things, and the things I really care about are relatively few. But for my children and future generations, what kind of actions and choices they will make is really unpredictable! Are we going to watch them being bullied to death by others without being able to fight back? Even the weakest clay man will always have some backbone and temper!"
After hearing these words, the First Emperor was so angry that his face turned blue and his chest rose and fell violently. He stared at Qin Xingfu with wide eyes, thinking to himself: This damn child, he won't even say a nice word to coax me?
"You...you really can't just follow my wishes a little bit, even if it's just perfunctory?" The First Emperor gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Qin Xingfu saw this and could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you are almost seventy years old. As the saying goes, 'honest words are unpleasant to the ears but beneficial to one's conduct'! If you just want to hear some sweet words to please yourself, isn't it easy? There are many people lining up to tell you all kinds of sweet words just to please you, and they guarantee that every word will never be repeated!"
"Then do you hate me?"
"How can I put it? I don't hate you, I just feel speechless sometimes. But you are an old man, so I respect the old and love the young. In my hometown, some people will always do some puzzling things when they reach a certain age. People are very tolerant."
There was really no point in chatting anymore. The First Emperor was irritated by her. He was originally a little sad, but now he was just full of anger. He stood up and left in anger.
Qin Xingfu touched her nose helplessly. Where did she say anything wrong? She shouted loudly behind him.
"Emperor, if you feel bored, why don't you disguise yourself and go to a teahouse or street corner, or try to experience the lives of different people?"
In Qin Xingfu's current view, the First Emperor was just very bored. After he came back, Fusu kept a close eye on him, fearing that the First Emperor would go out again if he was not paying attention. Now he is getting older and older, and he has fallen ill several times since he came back.
Today's interaction was much more comfortable than before. As expected, if you go crazy occasionally, the world will give in. Qin Xingfu returned home in a very good mood and saw that Yingsha's family came again.
"Here you are~ The little guy is so good."
Qin Xingfu touched Ying Sha's child with a smile - Ying Yao, a child of two or three years old, like a doll, very delicate, and walked unsteadily, swaying from side to side, very cute.
"Mom, can my sister stay in our house forever?"
Ying Sha and his family did not bring the child with them, so they planned to go look for Ying Yao today. Yesterday, the two of them secretly wanted to bring the child back.
"That won't work. My sister is still young and can't leave her family. She needs her father to take care of her."
"Then can we live in her house? Or can the uncles move in."
Qin Ci felt that adults were so troublesome. Why didn’t they live together? It would be so much more lively if they lived together like the people on Xingfu Street.
"Mother can't make the decision on this. Ask your uncle."
