Chapter 4 Sleepless Nights
He was afraid that he wouldn't even look at her, the so-called harmony was just from a cold palace to another cold palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The only good thing for her is that she can leave the palace of Jinyang Kingdom.
It is also for this reason that when her father suddenly summoned her and asked her to marry the sixth prince of the Great Plains Kingdom, she would agree.
She still remembers that day vividly.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, thick clouds rolled, strong winds swept through, and a storm was coming.
In the hall, her father sat high on the dragon throne, she knelt far away on the hard floor, and her father did not let her flatten, she kept kneeling like that. Although they were in the same palace, she and her father should not have seen each other for eleven years. From beginning to end, her father never looked at her, which shows how much her father dislikes her.
If it weren't for the fact that Yingxu Kingdom and Dayuan Kingdom came to courtship at the same time, there was only one princess in Jinyang Kingdom. If you marry Princess Yuehua to Yingxu Country, you will inevitably offend Ohara Country, and if you marry Princess Yuehua to Ohara Country, you will inevitably offend Yingxu Country, if you reject both countries, it will be tantamount to offending both countries. King Jinyang was in a dilemma for a while. If it weren't for this, her father wouldn't have remembered that he also had a third princess who had been abolished and put into the cold palace - the former Princess Huaishu.
It's hard to have the best of both worlds, so you can only settle for the next best thing and marry a princess on the one hand.
"As long as you agree to marry Ohara Kingdom, I will restore your imperial title." Her father's cold voice sounded in the hall, without pity, not even the slightest emotion, and even one more word, and he didn't want to say anything to her.
"Good!" It only took her a moment to think about it, and then she agreed.
Outside the palace, it was pouring rain, and the raindrops larger than the beans hit the roof densely, like a war drum on the battlefield, making a thumping sound.
There was no umbrella, and there was no palace person holding an umbrella, so she walked back to the cold palace where she lived from the Qianqing Palace in the rain.
On the second day of the seventh month of the sixty-third year of Yanqing, it was the day when the second princess of Jinyang Kingdom, Princess Yuehua, married Yingxu Kingdom. In the city of Shao'an, the subjects and the people send each other off, ten miles of brocade all the way to the east gate, the city is full of flowers, the sound of drums and music, and it is very lively. To this day, people still remember the moments of that day. However, no one knew that on the same day, another team of relatives quietly left the city from the south gate and left Shao'an City.
ā¦ā¦
He didn't look down on her, and she didn't expect anything from him, so the two were irrelevant.
In the summer of Jinlin City, the days are long and the nights are short, and the sun is like a fire every day, and the heat is abnormal, and Zuo Huaishu basically stays in the Xuanyang Hall all day. Regarding the people and things in the palace, as well as the situation in Jinlin City, they all heard from Danyun and Ziyi.
The Great Plains Country is either a grassland or a desert, and the land is barren, which cannot be compared with the richness of the Jinyang Kingdom located in the Central Plains. Although Jinlin City is also an imperial city, it is far less prosperous than Shao'an City in Jinyang Kingdom.
King Ohara has a total of seven princes and eight princesses, the princes are, the second prince is the crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, the ninth prince, and the thirteenth prince. The most outstanding is the crown prince and the sixth prince Lan Shaofeng, and over the years, Lan Shaofeng has repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield, and his prestige among the court and the people has increased day by day, which is enough to compete with the prince. Although the throne of the Great Plains Kingdom has always been succeeded by the eldest son, if Lan Shaofeng has the heart to fight, it is not possible. However, Lan Shaofeng was obsessed with war, and he also had great respect for the crown prince, and he didn't seem to have any interest in the matter of seizing the heir.
All of the above is a well-known fact in Ohara Province.
As for Lan Shaofeng himself, Dan Yun tried to inquire with other people in the palace, but the people in the palace seemed to have a deep prejudice against Princess Huaishu of Jinyang Kingdom, and ignored Dan Yun, and Dan Yun couldn't hear anything.
And the people in Jinlin City have only heard of Lan Shaofeng by name and have never seen him.
It's not a good person, otherwise, how could they treat their princess so poorly. Danyun was so sure in his heart.
It has been several days since I came to the palace, and King Yan has disappeared, and I don't see anyone else coming to Xuanyang Hall to ask for peace or something, but I can hear that the subordinates are talking about Zuo Huaishu in private.
And in Jinlin City, in the past few days, there have been rumors about the princess from Jinyang Kingdom. It is said that the princess is ugly and disgusted by the prince. What's even more outrageous, saying that the princess has a pockmarked face, crooked eyes and a slanted mouth, which is uglier than the dominatrix. Anyway, it sounds like it's all infuriating.
Early in the morning, Danyun came in from outside angrily, his face and neck were red with anger, and he must have gone to argue with those girls again.
"Princess, what is this, it doesn't matter if the prince doesn't show up, a few girls dare to make irresponsible remarks below." Danyun is angry, Zuo Huaishu is also a princess, the dignified third princess of Jinyang Kingdom. Maybe she was confused, Danyun didn't have much sense of proportion when she spoke, she took the book in Zuo Huaishu's hand away. "Princess, let's write back and tell the emperor that King Yan is too deceitful, and he doesn't take the peace between the two countries seriously at all, so that the emperor ......"
"Don't talk nonsense." Chang Mo interrupted Danyun with a loud voice.
Zuo Huaishu didn't say anything, what if she wrote back, her father would only take her even less.
Fortunately, although Zuo Huaishu was left out in the cold, she was also the princess of the palace, and she would not be missing from her food and clothing.
At night, Danyun and Ziyi retreated, and a long window remained open in the dormitory, and the wind blowing in from outside stirred the waves of the gauze tent.
Zuo Huaishu lay on the bed and turned over several times, but he couldn't sleep.
Outside the hall, there was a faint sound of watching, "Knock! - Boom! Boom! "It's only three watches.
Zuo Huaishu got up, and by the faint moonlight, she paced to the screen, she took off the clothes that were resting on it, put them on, pushed open the long door of the dormitory, and walked out.
A round of hook moon in the sky hides behind the floating clouds, and the Jinlin City at night is much cooler than during the day. Except for the guards who patrolled the night, everyone else in the palace had already slept, and the palace shrouded in night was silent.
Zuo Huaishu walked all the way along the place where there was a lantern shining, not very far from the Xuanyang Palace, it was another palace. The night was too dark to see the inscription on the plaque in front of the temple. Compared with the Xuanyang Palace, this hall is built higher and more majestic and magnificent. With the night as the background, the majestic palace on the high platform is like a king in the dark, Wei Ran is standing there.
With such momentum, as expected, this should be the palace of the Yan King.
The palace was darkly lit and silent.
Zuo Huaishu hadn't seen King Yan since he came to King Yan's Mansion, not only her, but also no one else, and King Yan hadn't returned to the palace for several days.
Danyun asked the people in the house, and the others didn't know, maybe they knew but didn't tell Danyun.
Where did the Flame King go? What are you doing?
Zuo Huaishu looked up at King Yan's palace again, and just as she was about to turn back, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow coming out of that palace and quickly went up to the eaves.
"Who?" Zuo Huaishu instinctively shouted, only to see the black shadow on the roof running faster, she hesitated for a moment, but still jumped up to the eaves and chased out of the Yanwang Mansion.
