The third time, the sudden palace change 3
I'm naughty, but I'm not stupid. I was mysteriously placed under house arrest like no one dared to see me, and vaguely, I guessed their purpose, but I never believed it.
My father was obviously very hesitant, and some gray eyes looked at my face for a long time before patting my head and sighing: "Ah Mo, Lone also knows that he has wronged you." But last night Wei Wuji of the Great Guangming Palace came to report, as soon as you leave the palace, Dunhuang City will eat the moon, which is a great omen. You have been the most noble princess of Xiliang since you were a child, and only by sacrificing you to the immortal heaven can Xiliang avoid future doom. Amo, compared with the Northern Wei Dynasty, our Xiliang army is weak and lacks resources, and so is our father...... It's also a last resort! ”
Wei Wuji, didn't you protect me, but my father sent me to spy on me?
"Father...... Are you really willing to do it? ”
I lowered my sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on my palms over and over again on the inner lining, reminding myself that the third brother was not by my side, I must be calm, calm down, and never fall out with the Great Guangming Palace and the National Witch who control my life and death fate.
Father rubbed the lines on his forehead that were becoming clearer and clearer tiredly, and lowered his voice: "Ah Mo...... It's a good thing to be able to sacrifice to the Immortal Heaven, and I believe that you also know how to treat the people of Xiliang as well as your father. ”
I froze, and a chill rose from my shoulder: "Why, why me?" It was just a coincidence that Ah Mo left the palace last night and the celestial phenomenon changed, and the father, there are so many princesses and maids in the palace, even if you choose a clan daughter to be the princess to sacrifice to the sky. I am your own daughter, how can you sacrifice me to heaven? Is it just because of the prophecy of Amo's birth?! ”
My father seemed a little afraid to look me in the eye, flicked his sleeves, turned to the window, and replied: "There are indeed many princesses in the palace, but you are the only unmarried daughter, and you are the only one left." The celestial phenomena show that Xiliang's favorite princess also wants to sacrifice to the sky, so you can't think of being replaced by others. ”
I?
An unmarried daughter?
Irreplaceable?
I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.
For the first time in my life, I began to seriously think about national affairs other than eating, drinking, and having fun, and tried my best to get rid of this inexplicable bad luck that had been inflicted on me: "This is all nonsense! Father, would you rather believe the nonsense of a lowly witch than your own daughter? Although Ah Mo has been stubborn since he was a child, he has never hurt anyone's life, and if the mother concubine is still there, Ah Mo will not be decided by this old witch at will! ”
"The Ninth Princess is really a lotus!"
Zhen Lan suddenly interrupted me: "I'm afraid that the princess doesn't know that the Northern Wei Dynasty has come to the city, summoning the army of King Qin and recruiting the world's talents." Last night's Tengu eating the moon was already a sign of a great war, could it be that the princess kept saying that she was just talking casually for the sake of the people of Xiliang Dawn? As long as the princess is willing to sacrifice to the sky, Xiliang will be able to get out of trouble, and ask the princess to think twice. ”
I stared at her anger and haste under the cover of heavy fat powder, and couldn't help sneering angrily: "My lord the witch of the country, if there is a big war, Xiliang does not train diligently to replenish food and grass, but wants to let the princess sacrifice to the sky to get out of trouble, is it that in the future, once Xiliang encounters a life-and-death situation, he will have to sacrifice the princess to the sky?" If the princess is not enough, how can it be good? ”
Zhen Lan didn't expect me to dare to stand up to her, and rushed forward again, and there was already a red light like fire in her eyes: "Ninth Princess, how can you talk nonsense at will about celestial signs, as Princess Xiliang, you have enjoyed all these years of glory and wealth, and now you are just asked to do your duty, why is it a loss to you?" That's a lot of nonsense! ”
My hands and feet were cold, I clenched my fists tightly, restrained my nervousness, but I could still say eloquently on my face: "My father is the king of a country, and the crown prince was born in the royal family, and he has enjoyed the glory of being the prince of a country, and it is also his duty to do his best for the country!" Long live the father, if the prince and brother really have the fate of the Son of Heaven in the future, they will naturally have the blessing of their ancestors, and they will turn evil into good fortune; If he can't make contributions to the country, and let Xiliang fall into the hands of the enemy, he needs to exchange his sister for his future kingdom, how will he call Emperor Xiliang in the future and order the ministers? ”
After hearing this, the national witch was furious: "The prince is young, in order to boost the morale of Xiliang, regardless of his noble body, he is about to personally supervise the battle, do you dare to say that he has no life of the Son of Heaven?" ”
I really hate her face, and all the high-sounding excuses shouldn't be a reason to push me into the fire pit.
Her son's life is rich, and my life deserves to be humble?
"Whether there is the fate of the Son of Heaven or not, it is not for me to have the final say, but for the immortal heaven."
I reminded my father: "The prince's elder brother has mediocre qualifications, and he has been beaten to the point that he has lost his armor, I am afraid that he may not be qualified to inherit our Xiliang country!" The father and emperor are in full bloom, there are groups of princes and princesses, there will definitely be more princes born in the future, are you afraid that you can't find a better prince to take over the position of the East Palace? ”
"What a sharp-toothed Ninth Princess!"
Zhen Lan shouted, and slapped me: "You are just a demon who has woe to the country, and you dare to speak falsely to shake the position of the prince, and say such a rebellious word!" ”
When I was busy flashing, my face was not beaten, but my forehead was on it, I was in pain, angry and angry, and I pushed her violently, if it wasn't for the palace maid behind her, I was afraid that she would have fallen.
"Enough!"
The father shouted, and his eyes were full of annoyance.
Although I am self-willed, it is not that I do not know how to measure proportions, and I know very well that these words should not be said.
If the prince comes back safely in the future, I don't know how the mother and son will take revenge on me.
But the fire is already burning in front of me, and I am so good that a princess of Xiliang is actually used by them as a sacrifice to provide immortality!
I never dreamed that this would happen!
I'm afraid that even the third brother hasn't thought about it?
He never taught me how to deal with these changes.
Intuitively, I just wanted to stop it immediately, and I didn't care what I could do.
But my father's shout reminded me of the whip I had received when I was ten years old.
He is not as good as the third brother has always cherished me, it is useless to be coquettish, and sprinkling will only anger him even more.
