When the emperor heard that these ministers were beating Princess Xuanyang again, he was furious, "You are a dignified seven-foot man, standing up to the sky and the earth, and you keep saying that you can do anything for the sake of the country and the people. Now when the country is in crisis, let a soft woman come to you to seek a chance to prolong your hunger, shame is not ashamed!" The emperor's words made many ministers silent, but after a moment of silence, they still did not give up the direct advice to the emperor to let Princess Xuanyang and relatives, and one by one dragged down the black gauze hat, to resign and return to the hometown to force each other, at this time the virtue is highly respected, as the prime minister of the three dynasties on behalf of the hundred officials to the emperor said, "The minister enlightens the emperor, the ministers have been officials for several years, and they have fulfilled their duties, in order to assist the emperor to stabilize the country forever, trembling, and dare not sleep at night." Now that the enemy army is about to come to the city, the ministers can also understand the emperor's love for his daughter, and they don't want Her Royal Highness the princess to marry far away in the desert to be conservative and hard, but at this time, it is the critical juncture of the country's survival, and there is no other way to temporarily appease the barbarian army except to wronged the princess and relatives. The ministers thought that they could take this as an expedient measure, and when our dynasty reorganized the army, resumed production, and re-realized the prosperity of the country and the people, they would send troops to the north to conquer the barbarians, and seek justice for the people of our dynasty and Her Royal Highness Princess Xuanyang. ”

In the end, the emperor is still a good monarch who is sensible, knowing that the anger of the people is difficult to offend, and he can't ignore the people of the world for the sake of his daughter, so not only can he not save Xuanyang, but he still makes her bear the insults of the people of the world, so he said, "This matter allows me to discuss with Xuanyang again and retreat from the dynasty." ”

After leaving the court, the emperor hurried to the princess hall. "The emperor has arrived", if it weren't for the eunuch's voice so sharp that no one could easily imitate it, Princess Xuanyang really didn't believe that the emperor would come to the princess's palace to see her. "Father, how could my father come, since that incident, my father has never summoned the palace again, nor has he lifted the ban on the palace. Princess Xuanyang looked at the magpie beside her suspiciously and said. The magpie was also calm, and said, "Princess, since the emperor is here, let's not think so much, just take the car with peace of mind, as the saying goes, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, besides, maybe the emperor has brought you some good news." "That's right, my father hasn't cured the palace for so long, maybe I'm here to let the palace go out this time," Princess Xuanyang also looked forward to the emperor's visit to the princess's palace this time to bring her good news. The magpie has actually heard the palace maids who served the emperor in the Jinluan Palace this morning, saying that there is no palace maid willing to sign up to go to the desert and relatives until the deadline, and now the country is at a critical juncture, and a princess must be sent to the princess, but the marriageable princess is only one Princess Xuanyang at the moment, and nine times out of ten is Princess Xuanyang to go, although the emperor is fighting with the ministers in the court today for the happiness of Princess Xuanyang, but after all, the national interests are in front of him, and the emperor does not dare to hinder too much, so Princess Xuanyang is a nail in the coffin, and the magpie is not only sad for Princess Xuanyang after hearing the news, Princess Xuanyang was already frustrated by Lu Tiance's feelings, and now she has to be forced to marry the desert far away, Cang Tian is really unfair to Princess Xuanyang, she is also sad for herself, because she and Princess Xuanyang grew up together, she must marry in the past, if you don't pay attention to which desert nobleman takes a fancy to it, you have to marry someone else as a concubine, they all say that the desert people don't understand the rules, she doesn't want to marry the desert people, but can things still take a turn for the better, the magpie looked at Princess Xuanyang's happy smiling face, and her heart became even more bitter.

Thinking about it, the emperor walked to the inner hall, Princess Xuanyang thought about behaving better in front of her father, so that she could get out quickly, so she hurriedly saluted, "Xuanyang sees his father, his father ......", Princess Xuanyang has not finished saluting, the emperor hurriedly grabbed her, "Excuse me, Xuanyang, my father didn't come to settle accounts with you this time, the last time you helped Lu Tiance escape, it was written off, and my father didn't mention it anymore, and my father came to you today because of something more important." Before the emperor finished speaking, Princess Xuanyang said happily, "Really, father, that daughter can go out to play, no need to be grounded anymore?" The emperor saw such an innocent Princess Xuanyang, his heart was very depressed, his reign for decades, although there was no major fault, but there was some slackness in governing the country, which led to the national strength did not improve, but the national strength of the desert is indeed increasing under the rule of their wise new king, especially in the country's external defense, far beyond our dynasty, which finally led to the desert soldiers coming like a mountain, and now can only wronged Princess Xuanyang to kiss, it was his own hands that ruined her daughter's happiness, but this news is going to tell her sooner or later, now say it so that she can have a mental preparation, "Xuanyang, sit down, let your father take a good look at you, my father knows that Xuanyang has not had his mother by his side since he was a child, and his father is also busy with political affairs all day long, he is very lonely when he grows up alone, and he often can't eat and sleep well, his father has wronged you all these years, before the marriage with Lu Tiance, my father thought that you would be happy if you married him, but he didn't take into account your heart, so sometimes he was too strict with Xuanyang, and his father hoped that Xuanyang would not be blamed. The emperor looked at Princess Xuanyang beside him with pity. "Father, what do you say, you have been very good to me since my mother left, I have loved to cause trouble for you since I was a child, but when have you really punished me, it's not just words, Xuanyang's favorite person since childhood is his father, how can a daughter blame you, how can a daughter in the world blame her father" Princess Xuanyang looked at such an emperor, although she felt very warm, but she always felt very uneasy, and always felt that something terrible happened to her father to say this, thinking about whether to ask her father, and finally couldn't hold back her question, "Father, what's wrong with you today, why do you say so many strange things, and look at me like this, is there something going on, father, tell Xuanyang, Xuanyang will share it for his father when he grows up." ”

The emperor thought that since Princess Xuanyang had seen that something was wrong, he would simply tell her, "Xuanyang, do you know that our country has been fighting with the desert for several years, and the war has lasted for a long time, and it has also consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources, and the common people are also tired of war. "This Xuanyang knows, but Father, you just said that the war is almost over, which is a good thing, we have to celebrate." Princess Xuanyang didn't seem to understand what the worry in the emperor's eyes meant. Xuanyang is right, it is time to celebrate, but this celebration is to celebrate all over the world, and the two countries should celebrate together. "Celebrate together? Why, is that we reconciled with the desert, so that there would be no more war between the two countries. "Yes, we are about to reconcile with the desert, and the desert said in the peace negotiations with us that if the dynasty sends a princess as a peace envoy to marry the crown prince of the desert, we will be reconciled forever. "This is a matter of merit, I don't know which princess of my dynasty," as the emperor thought, Princess Xuanyang has not been ignorant of the world since she was a child, simple and kind, until now Princess Xuanyang does not know that she is in deep trouble, and even the magpie on the side feels distressed when she sees it, "Father, although you have many princesses, but the royal sisters are all married, and the royal sisters are still young and have not reached the marriageable age, and now there are only ...... marriageable princesses by the side of the father and emperor Father, you don't want to send your daughter to the desert and kiss, Father, Father, you speak. Princess Xuanyang suddenly understood as she spoke, no wonder the emperor was wrong from the moment she entered the door, and said that the mistake she made before was a purchase and sale, and it turned out that she was going to send her to the desert.

"Xuanyang, over the years, the national strength of our dynasty has been greatly inferior to before, coupled with the war with the desert for several years, has consumed a lot of treasury, in recent years it has been a great drought, many places have no harvest, not only can not collect the national tax, but also the central treasury appropriation for disaster relief, after a few years of tossing, the treasury has long been empty, it is really unable to fight with the desert anymore, can only be wronged and sued, but the desert is bent on marrying the princess of my dynasty, and the father and the emperor are fighting with those ministers in the court, and they have not been able to protect you, they can only wronged you," The emperor saw Princess Xuanyang's listless look, and said in his heart, "Xuanyang, if you really don't want to go, your father will send Li Shiyu to take you out of the capital secretly, find a place to hide, no matter what happens, don't come back, and then the father will announce to the world that Princess Xuanyang died for some reason, and you should be safe without my father, and stay away from the capital for the rest of your life." Princess Xuanyang used to always think that the emperor was so good to her because of her mother's affairs, so no matter how the emperor treated her well, she always had a guard in her heart, but today she saw that the emperor was unwilling to hand her over to her at the risk of losing the country, and finally let go of the defense that had been armed for many years, maybe it was time for her to do a little bit of the princess's duties for the country, the royal sisters all came over like this, then she Princess Xuanyang would never be a little worse than them than them, so as to be worthy of her father's years of nurturing grace.

Princess Xuanyang held the emperor's hand and said, " Father, the daughter as a princess, is the father's most favored, the proudest Princess Xuanyang, the daughter is saying that she can't leave her father, leaving the people to run away like a shrinking turtle, besides, since ancient times, the blessed princesses are supposed to contribute their meager strength to the well-being of the world, if only a daughter can marry in exchange for the peace of the whole country, then the daughter is naturally duty-bound, on the contrary, if the daughter runs away for her own selfish interests, then if the country is weak, the daughter will also be scolded by thousands of people, I don't want to be the princess of the country。 Besides, my daughter often hears the ladies in the palace say that the prince of the desert is so brave and good at fighting and is a hero in the hearts of the people of the desert. Princess Xuanyang pretended to be relaxed and said.

The emperor should feel very relieved to see Princess Xuanyang become so sensible, but when he thought of sacrificing his daughter for the benefit of the country, he was heartbroken, and he couldn't be happy, but in order not to make Princess Xuanyang sad, he still forced a smile and said, "Okay, my little Xuanyang has finally grown up, and I know that I have shared the burden for my father, and my father is very pleased." But as he spoke, he still couldn't contain the guilt of Xuanyang in his heart, and couldn't help but stroke Princess Xuanyang's head and leave a few lines of old tears, how lonely the emperor is to be high, just because the power in his hands is too great, although he is surrounded by countless people, but these people are extremely respectful to him, for fear that he will do something wrong and make him unhappy, he does not dare to be too close to him, even his own children have never been an exception, but Princess Xuanyang is different, she has been very close to the emperor since she was a child, in addition, she often causes trouble for the emperor, today she pulled the queen's favorite snow lotus grass in the imperial garden, and tomorrow she will tear the embroidered shoes of the concubine Niangniang...... But Princess Xuanyang doesn't admit it every time she gets into trouble no matter how intimidated by others, but the emperor admits her mistake as soon as she coaxes her, so the emperor has loved her the most since she was a child, especially after Princess Xuanyang's mother died because of the emperor, he loved this daughter even more, so he has been dependent on Princess Xuanyang in the palace all these years, and no one can do without anyone, and now he has made her a political victim, the emperor is extremely unwilling, but he is also helpless.

The magpie saw the emperor and the princess like this, and felt very uncomfortable, thinking that she had been favored by Princess Xuanyang since she was a child, and now she was in trouble, but she was powerless to help, but in fact, her heart was suffering a lot, and she was still hesitating whether to speak......

After a long time, the magpie finally thought about it, and said, "Emperor Qiyu, Princess Qiyu, slave maid...... The slave maid is willing to go to the desert and kiss instead of the princess," the magpie saw that the emperor and Princess Xuanyang both looked at her in surprise. "Magpie, don't be impulsive, this is not a joke, do you think we are too sad and stupid, say stupid things, how can I sacrifice you casually for my own interests. Princess Xuanyang was only joking when she was a magpie, and she didn't take it seriously, after all, she knew that magpies had been relatively timid since she was a child, and she didn't even dare to step on a cockroach to death, let alone marry far away in the desert, and she was still thinking about whether to marry her in the past.

"Princess, the slave maid is serious, the slave maid has followed the princess since she was a child, the princess never let the slave maid be bullied by other older palace maids, and always give the slave maid a head, the slave maid has no father since she was a child, and she has no marriage, and was sold to the palace, but God has mercy on the slave maid, let the slave maid meet the princess, the princess treats the slave maid like this, just like the slave's own sister, the slave maid has secretly sworn in her heart since she was a child, and she must repay the palace master when she has the opportunity in the future, and now the princess is in dire straits, and the slave maid does not want the princess to be wronged, and is willing to work for the princess。 ”
