Princess Sanssouci has been feeling a little troubled lately. After a few years, the queen mother once again cared about her life's events, which made her resist from the bottom of her heart, but also felt a little at a loss.

What she has known and heard since she was a child has made her understand one thing, that is, girls have to marry after all. No matter what status a woman is, once she becomes an adult, if she can't get married for a long time, it will become a joke. Therefore, Princess Sanssouci is very reluctant to grow up. But she still grew up after all, and there was no way to resist the arrangement of fate.

There were many times when she rode a fiery horse outside the castle to watch the sun set in the sky, and there were countless heart-stirring impulses. If you go to the world like this, will you be able to control your own future?

Such an idea, although a little crazy for a princess, is something she desires very much. However, I just thought about it in my heart. She knew she didn't have the courage to take that step. Because even a person like the queen mother can only rely on the royal family to survive in the end, what qualifications does she have to expect too much?

Perhaps, in the near future, she will, like most aristocratic women, marry a certain royal prince of a vassal state, and then spend her life in plainness. This should be the arrangement of the queen mother and the father for her.

Because of these troubles, Princess Sanssouci has recently lost interest in even her favorite hunting. After running around the mountains and forests, she didn't shoot a single arrow, and came back listless.

Remembering what the queen mother had said to her that night, the tall woman, who had a somewhat heroic temperament after wearing a cloak, pursed her beautiful mouth again. She gently patted the horse's mane with the whip in her hand, and muttered in a complaining tone.

"I really don't understand, why do girls have to get married? That guy from Zhao Guo is so good, don't think I don't know...... Hum! The reputation of the world's first gentleman. What's so great about being King Zhao! If you have to force me to give me to him this time, I will definitely use this whip to show him that it is awesome! ”

The most powerful punishment in Princess Sanssouc's mind may be to beat someone with a whip. The red-maned horse she rode was very difficult to tame at the beginning, but in the end, didn't she obediently succumb to her own "violent means"? Although she knew in her heart that this thought was ridiculous, she didn't know how to resist it now.

Perhaps, the most hateful thing is that King Zhao! In her mind, it must have been a vicious fellow. Otherwise, how could he have just ascended to the throne and be killed with a river of blood? He killed tens of thousands of troops in the vassal states, and it is said that he did not spare even his uncle and brother. Together with the royal nobles of Zhao State, there were hundreds of people who died at his hands...... Thinking that the queen mother had to give herself to such a person for the benefit of Qi country, she couldn't help but be angry and a little resentful.

"You're back? What does a girl's family look like riding a horse and dancing a sword all day long? The things I asked you to learn, but I didn't care about you at all. Hum! ”

Seeing Princess Sanssouci slowly leading the horse over, Queen Wuyan restrained the emotions in her heart, and deliberately made a stern expression on her face. I've indulged her too much in the past few years, and now it's impossible to transform her into what she wants in a short period of time. "Queen Mother...... You know I don't like to do that, if I pick mulberry leaves in this mulberry field for half a day, I have to suffocate my daughter to death! Are you so ruthless? ”

Princess Sanssouci hugged one of the queen's arms, pursed her mouth, and sprinkled coquettishly. To deal with this queen, who is respected by everyone, she has a trick. Although she didn't dare to disobey in major matters, she had a lot of tricks to escape the punishment on weekdays and make her happy again.

The maids around couldn't help but laugh under their breath. They actually like Princess Sanssouci very much, although this princess sometimes has a bit of a temper, but she treats all the palace people very well, and never scolds casually. The queen rubbed her hair a little helplessly, and lovingly tied up the messy part for her, and said with a soft sigh.

"All these things that the Queen Mother taught you to do will be of great use. If you don't study well now, there will be times when you regret it in the future...... If you only know how to ride around crazy all day long, can you still go to the battlefield to fight? ”

"Why not? Queen Mother, if one day in the future, when our Qi country is in danger, I will definitely personally put on my armor and rush into battle to kill! I will protect the queen mother ...... in my own strength. ”

"Silly girl...... Alas! If it really came to that time, the Qi State would have already perished. ”

The queen took her daughter's hand, and although it was in a reproachful tone, there was a smile on her face. No matter what, what Princess Sanssouci said still made her feel warm in her heart.

"Worry-free, silkworm farming is a major national event. The Queen Mother acquainted you with these things, not to make you do it yourself. It's to let you know for yourself how hard it is! ”

The queen went on earnestly, hoping that her daughter would understand her painstaking feelings. However, Princess Sanssouci blinked, looked up from her lap, and asked rhetorically.

"But why do I want to know this?"

"Because, I hope you can do better than the queen mother in the future!"

"The Queen Mother! I don't understand what you're saying....... ”

"You really don't understand? Don't worry, it won't be long before King Zhao will come to Qi in person...... I hope you don't let us down! ”

Hearing that the queen said it directly, Princess Sanssouci's face turned a little pale. She wrung her fingers around the corners of her shirt and said with a wry smile.

"Queen Mother, have you and your father really decided to take me as a hostage and send me to Zhao Kingdom?"

The queen's face was stunned for a moment, she looked down at the eyes that were already full of tears, and asked distressedly.

"How can you think that...... Who said they were going to take you hostage? ”

"Nobody has ever said that to me, but that's what I thought. Queen Mother, that King Zhao gave so many benefits to the Qi State, he naturally wanted to be rewarded handsomely...... Isn't it worth offering me to him in one fell swoop? ”

Hearing the words of Princess Sanssouci choked up, the surrounding maids all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound. Of course, the queen could hear the grumbling in her heart. After a moment of silence, she spoke to her calmly.

"Don't worry, I want you to listen well. For you, this decision of the Queen Mother may be a great opportunity to change your destiny! If you can grasp it well, who can guarantee that those aspirations you have in your heart will not be realized? ”

Hearing her solemn tone, Princess Sanssouci suddenly raised her head, and there was a gleam in her eyes. It turns out that the queen mother always knows what she thinks!

"But I've heard...... That guy from Zhao Guo is not a good person, he is very bad! ”

"Listen to whom?"

"A lot of people...... That's what everybody says! ”

"Don't worry, you don't just rely on your own imagination to comment on a random person. The actions of Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian can already be called a hero in the world. In time, no one can predict how high he will be able to reach. Don't worry, and it won't be long before I actually see him in person and take a look...... Maybe you'll be settled! ”

Queen Wuyan looked at Wu Wu with expectant eyes, a decision she had been thinking about for a long time. During this period of time, she had collected all the information about Chu Jiangmian and carefully studied it from beginning to end. Although she hadn't seen the young man yet, she already had a rough outline in her mind. Whether it is for the sake of worry-free personally, or for the future of Qi Kingdom, she has to do her best to facilitate this matter.

Princess Sanssouci bit her lip lightly and swallowed what she really wanted to say. She has seen the queen's recent hard work, and she can't let her worry about it anymore. She looked down and thought about it, and only asked softly.

"When will he come to Qi Kingdom?"

"When autumn comes, when the yellow leaves are gone, he will come...... Lan Lingjun had already made an agreement with him. ”

Princess Sanssouci snuggled in the queen's arms, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, counting the remaining days, and her heart was filled with endless sorrow.

Perhaps, in less than two months, he should have practiced his martial arts hard. If Chu Jiangmian really came to the Qi Kingdom by then, she wouldn't mind giving him a hard time and letting him retreat! On the premise that he can't forcibly go against the will of the queen mother, it seems that only he can save himself.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, Chu Jiangmian, who was also watching the sunset on the horizon, sneezed several times inexplicably. Naturally, he didn't know that there was a woman on the shore of the East China Sea who was gritting her teeth and chanting his name.

A few glasses of light wine, a farewell, feeling the magnificent atmosphere in the Nine Elements Mountain, as the envoy of the Son of Heaven came to Dragon City Wang Brother Ji Mo, to hide all the emotions in his heart, and drank the last glass of parting wine.

"King Zhao, seeing that the situation in Zhao is quickly and stable, the old man is relieved. After leaving Los Angeles for a long time, although I am a little reluctant, I must also return...... Hehe! ”

"Mo Gong, you came to Zhao Guo in person, I should have accompanied you all the way. It's just that the internal and external affairs are complicated, and there is really no time to withdraw...... Don't blame! ”

"These words need not be said more. All the dangers that Zhao Guo has experienced, the old man sees it in his eyes. With this burden on your shoulders, it is not easy to come over smoothly! Go for it, the old man will always pay attention to it in Zhongzhou. ”

"Thank you Mogong! Please tell the Son of Heaven that Zhao's support for the Great Zhou royal family will not change in the slightest. ”

Ji Mo, who received Chu Jiangmian's clear support, left with peace of mind. He worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles, and this is just one sentence.

Hurried footsteps came behind him, and Bai Ye said loudly: "King! Dragon City sent two messages...... The Qin procession to deliver the ransom arrived. Also, General Li Mu's urgent military situation! ”
