After entering the imperial city, the atmosphere became even heavier, and Mao Qing let out a sullen breath, thinking that she could finally know the truth, she was in a much happier mood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, all the soldiers withdrew, leaving only Qi Xia to get off the horse, and Mao Qing also walked down from the carriage, looking at the high city wall and being a little excited, but when he looked at the faces of the soldiers guarding the city, Mao Qing's excitement was gone.

Entering the palace, walking on the road, the eunuchs and maids who occasionally passed by, after seeing Mao Qing, hurriedly saluted, which made her a little uncomfortable after staying in Xianling Mountain for a long time.

Although Ke Maoqing can't cultivate mana, but after the aura of Xianling Mountain, the spirit fruit, and the master's occasional pill nourishment, she is also deaf and clear, although she is far away, those eunuchs and maids only opened their mouths to chew their tongues, but she still heard clearly.

"Is the princess really back?"

"It's okay if you don't come back!"

"But I heard that she and the immortals who took her as an apprentice are well...

"That can't be helped, who made her a princess, with such a good life, naturally she has to sacrifice more."

"Hmph, that's also called sacrifice, and I'm willing to sacrifice."

"Alright, you guys don't chew your tongue, beware of being heard."

"Yes..."

Although Mao Qing heard it clearly, her face was silent, and she was thinking about the meaning of what the palace maids said just now.

"First, my father asked me to come back, and it is almost certain that everyone knows about it."

"Second, it involves me and Master!"

"Third, sacrifice ???"

Mao Qing's eyes lit up, "My father must want me to do something, but it may damage my relationship with my master." ”

As long as you are willing to use your brains, in fact, Mao Qing is still quite smart.

did not enter the harem first, but came directly to the emperor's palace, Mao Qing looked at the closed wooden door, and sighed, no matter what happens, the final bottom line is to be with the master, only this matter can not be allowed.

But at this moment, I heard my father's angry voice from inside, "Then I lost the thirteen states of Qinglian, which door he went to fight and which door he led the soldiers, he directly gave up my Shenglian's country." ”

The sound of the teacup shattering on the ground came out crisply, and it shook Mao Qing and took a step back.

"Lost the Thirteen Prefectures of Qinglian? Fight? These two sentences kept coming to mind in Mao Qing's mind, and at this time it became clear why the people of Sheng Lian were sad one by one, and it turned out to be this reason.

"Your Majesty, it's no wonder that General Chao is in this matter, who would have thought that the Chayue Kingdom would actually rebel and stand on the side of Handu."

"Yes, and the cold capital has always been a strong country, everyone is good at martial arts, and it is a world of difference between us soldiers."

Mao Qing's expression on the outside changed again, "Fighting with the cold capital, the tea moon country rebelled... ”

"Your Majesty, Na Handu has already proposed, as long as Princess Sheng Lian is married, he will return the thirteen states of Qinglian, and promise not to commit a crime for a hundred years, the matter has come to this point, and only the princess will she...

"You're going to sell your daughter! What do I want you civil and military officials to do? “

Under the emperor's wrath, the officials had no choice but to fall silent.

The Qing outside looked shocked, and his mind was full of thoughts, "Handu, the condition proposed is to marry me... Akabane Night !! As soon as Mao Qing got in touch, he thought of the key person, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a wry smile, "I didn't expect that the reason why he didn't come when he got married was because he was attacking my Shenglian Dynasty." And my father said that, but he finally called me back. “

Mao Qing stood outside the door, cold and stiff, and the words of the palace maid before came to her mind, "She is a princess, since she has such a good life, she will naturally sacrifice more." “

That's right, I am a princess, the princess of the Shenglian Dynasty, a collection of thousands of favors, my father gave me supreme glory, has been named by the country, and I am also obedient to my words, pampered in every way, and I love the queen mother.

But what about me and Master???

"Your Majesty, marrying a princess has always been the most common, and Princess Sheng Lian is going to marry the future monarch of Handu, and she will be the queen, which is also a happy match for the princess."

"Yes, Your Majesty, sooner or later, the princess will get married, and who can compare to the monarch, and what position can compare to the queen."

The ministers opened their mouths to persuade each other, and the emperor waved his hand in annoyance, "Let's disperse." “

The ministers looked at each other, saluted and retreated, but Mao Qing hid, and after watching the ministers leave, Mao Qing pushed open the door of the council hall.

The emperor sat on the chair, with his hand on his forehead, and after hearing the voice, he said with some anger, "Don't talk about it, who will disturb me." ”

"Father, it's me, Qing'er." Mao Qing spoke, it was the first time she had seen her father so irritable and decadent when she was so big.

After hearing Mao Qing's voice, the emperor raised his head suddenly, looked at Mao Qing, looked a little flustered, stood up and walked over to Mao Qing, "Qing'er, you are back." ”

"Hmm." Mao Qing nodded in response.

There was silence for a while, and this was the first time that this situation had been discovered in her father and daughter.

The emperor smiled a little embarrassedly, "Qing'er, you're tired, go back to the palace to rest first, and we'll get together at your queen mother in the evening." ”

But Mao Qing didn't leave, looked at the emperor and said, "Father, I heard it." ”

When the emperor heard this, his expression darkened, and he sighed, "Qing'er, my father has no choice, this country can't be broken in my father's hands." ”

The emperor's words cut off Mao Qing's retreat, and Mao Qing held back tears and asked, "Father, is there really no other way?" ”

The emperor shook his head sadly, "For hundreds of years, my people of Shenglian have been immersed in a peaceful life, the war is sudden, the tea moon has rebelled, our army has been defeated and retreated, and the people's hearts are scattered, and it is the end of the road." ”

The emperor said and looked at Mao Qing, "Child, only you can save the people of this Shenglian country, and only you can make your father and emperor not be called the king of the dead country." “

Looking at the tears left by Mao Qing, the emperor was naturally distressed, it was his incompetence that caused his daughter to not be able to stay with her beloved.

"Qing'er, only if there is a country and a family, if the country is destroyed, my father will not be able to survive, and the people of Sheng Lian will be reduced to slaves of the country, even if you are with your master, you will not be happy. Try to accept the prince of Handu, you have the rest of your life to fall in love with him. “

Mao Qing burst into tears, but he bit his lip and endured the crying, the emperor sighed softly, changed his face, and said seriously, "Prepare well these days, and the father of the marriage will not treat you badly." ”

Mao Qing looked at her father, she knew that she couldn't blame him, he was the emperor of this Sheng Lian, and he was a man of the world in his heart, but she still felt sorry for him for being so cruel to her.

"Someone, send the princess back to the palace." When the emperor's words fell, two maidservants and two eunuchs immediately came in, and walked out with Mao Qing in his arms.

And Mao Qing was like a puppet, was taken back to his bedroom, listening to the sound of the door locking outside, Mao Qing couldn't even smile bitterly.

Looking at the spotless furnishings in this house, and the faces she saw when she came were still the original ones in her palace, as a princess, she could have a palace alone in this harem, I don't know how many people are envious.

Mao Qing had been sitting on the chair, not even moving, and when it was dark, the little palace maid Hedge, who had almost grown up with her, walked in with the food box and pushed the door.

"Princess, it's time to eat." The pothos whispered, looking at the swollen green with crying eyes, she was distressed and worried.

Mao Qing raised her eyes and looked at her, "Take it down, I don't have an appetite." ”

"Princess, it's a big thing, you have to eat enough, these dishes are your favorite food." Hedge said as he took out the dishes one by one from the food box, "This is your favorite mapo tofu, pepper eggs, three cold dishes... ”
