Chapter 30: The Final Meeting
The Seven Princesses kept struggling,
"I don't want to listen, you must be crazy, Queen Mother. Didn't the Northern Qi Kingdom want me! Doesn't the Northern Qi Kingdom have to be united! What are you talking about, Queen Mother! ”
It took a lot of effort for the queen to control the seventh princess, and the seventh princess stopped with a loud sigh. However, the seventh princess still looked at the queen with angry eyes, and the queen knew that Qi Shui was bitter in her heart, so she still said in a good voice,
"Qi Shui, listen to me, it won't hurt you behind the scenes, it's all for your own good."
"For my good?"
The seventh princess looked at her queen mother in disbelief, and the queen sighed,
"Qixin, I have already discussed this matter with your father. This time, the purpose of the Northern Qi Kingdom is very clear, that is, to make our Qingguo suffer losses, they just want us to call out a princess of Qixin, but they ask for many dowries. Obviously, they didn't come here to work together, their real purpose was to destroy Qingguo. ”
"What?"
The first time the seventh princess heard such a statement, she made a statement,
"Yes, this is in the way of the real purpose of the Northern Qi State, that is to say, all the worries that have been done before are provocations, and the purpose is to start this war, gain benefits, show national greatness, and kill two birds with one stone."
The Seventh Princess nodded, probably understood.
"But, what does it matter if I marry into Qingguo behind this background?"
The queen looked around, and pulled the seventh princess more shrewdly to the side again.
"Now with the strength of Qingguo, it is impossible to win this battle. Therefore, the best way is to negotiate peace, and then strengthen the strength of Qingguo after it becomes more stable. Discrimination is something that everyone can guess, and it is only a matter of time before peace is negotiated. The crux of the matter is here, negotiating peace means agreeing to the conditions of the Northern Qi State, but the condition of the Qingguo is to hand over the unity of the heart. But it is absolutely impossible for your father to do this, so I took the initiative to talk to the emperor and ask for it, hoping that you can marry to Northern Qi as a Qi Xin. ”
When the seventh princess heard this, she was anxious.
"Mother, why are you doing this? How can I do it for Qi Xin, didn't Qi Xin and the emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom still know each other when they were young. ”
The queen patted the back of Qi Shui's hand and signaled her not to worry.
"Listen to me. Listen to me. When people grow up, their appearance will change a lot, they are just similar when they were children, and they have never seen each other when they grow up. Besides, even if you get married, you won't necessarily live together. But after getting married. You will become the mother of a country and enjoy the treatment of the queen of things. On the one hand, on the other hand, your father has already begun to plan an operation, and he will definitely bring you back, and you can also help your father get information when the time comes, isn't it a double win? ”
The queen was persuading the seventh princess bitterly outside, and Princess Qixin had also woken up inside, and the emperor was chattering about these things in Qixin, and Qixin didn't say a word. Stares blankly at the ceiling. After the emperor finished speaking, he didn't plan to respond in unison, the two of them just stayed together quietly with each other.
After a long time, I heard Qi Xin say,
"Father, my son wants to dance."
So there was the scene of the princess's marriage, the princess's sedan chair has not yet left the city, but many people have been moved by the dance in the sacrifice ceremony.
How could it not be moved, Princess Qixin's head was not dancing in vain, and she was full of grief and the pain of death.
It's a pity that in the eyes of Northern Qi, everything is in vain.
Chapter 30: The Seventh Princess Dies
The seventh princess sat on the sedan chair and cried all the time, and she couldn't hear the sound outside the sedan chair. The seventh princess recalled the last conversation between herself and the queen mother over and over again.
The queen put the phoenix crown on the head of the seventh princess, stood on the top of the seventh princess, looked at the seventh princess from the mirror, and smiled.
"Our Qi Shui is the most beautiful princess in Qingguo, what kind of thing is that Qi Xin."
The seventh princess also looked at her strange self in the mirror.
She wasn't like that before. She likes to wear plain clothes, likes to wear simple hair accessories, and likes to smile with her lips smiling. But now she has completely changed. The red wedding dress with a golden phoenix pattern, fierce arrogance struggled to express his dissatisfaction to everyone, the golden hairpin tied his hair, and the phoenix crown pressed his body. She refused to bow her head again, and the corners of her flaming red lips were hooked into a flattering face.
The seventh princess stared straight at herself in the mirror and asked her queen mother,
"Queen Mother, you say, if I am really better than Qixin, why do I want to marry instead of Qixin now."
The queen was stunned, and the movements of her hands stopped.
Then the seventh princess asked,
"If I'm really better than Qixin, why didn't the Northern Qi Kingdom propose to me? Why didn't I become a saint when I was 16 years old? Why didn't Duan Zhirong like me? Why didn't my father love me? ”
The queen looked at the seventh princess in the mirror blankly, speechless, opened her mouth to say something, but was forced back by the eyes of the seventh princess.
The movements of the queen's hands stopped, and the seventh princess picked up the beads and brought them with her, carefully checked that there were no mistakes in her whole body, and then prepared to leave.
At this time, the queen suddenly took the hand of the seventh princess and looked at her with teary eyes.
"Qi Shui, the queen mother is worried about you. You have to be good. ”
The seventh princess looked at her mother, she has always been a low-key and tolerant woman, and the most terrible thing she has ever done is probably to murder Princess Qixin. She patted the queen's arm,
"Queen Mother, don't worry about me, I will go by myself in the future. I recognize what it has become. There's just a queen mother. ”
The queen nodded hurriedly,
"You say Qi Shui, you say."
"Queen Mother, you have to remember that she is indeed better than me when you are united in her. So don't be jealous, don't be greedy, otherwise you will lose your original intention and you will never get it back. ”
The seventh princess sat in the sedan chair at this time, crying silently. But at this time, the team suddenly stopped.
"Whoever is in the sedan chair, please come down."
The seventh princess did not have a trace of panic, gently lifted the curtain, and was arrogant.
General Lin couldn't tell what it was like, but the moment he saw the woman, it seemed that he had met his old friend again.
The Seventh Princess raised her proud chin, her cold eyes stared at the man in front of her vigilantly, and General Lin remembered that when he first saw Lu Ping, Lu Ping also looked at him like this. General Lin didn't know what to say for a while, or the Seventh Princess finally couldn't help but open her mouth and ask,
"Excuse me, is there something going on?"
"Oh, oh, yes, uh."
Originally, General Lin planned to take the people in the pride out directly, but now, he didn't know what to do.
"If you have something to say, just say it, and if there is nothing to do, the team will continue to drive." (To be continued.) )
