"Of course not."

"Why? Aren't you afraid that the princess is ugly and arrogant? Mingzhu asked again.

"Of course not, this king heard that your Nanxiang princess is beautiful and fragrant, you are from Nanxiang, haven't you seen it?" Shangguan Beitang asked.

"The slave family has never seen the princess's face, but since the princess is beautiful and fragrant, why is the prince unwilling?" Mingzhu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"Me, I have a point." Shangguan Beitang said perfunctorily.

Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "Could it be that the prince has a heart?" ”

Shangguan Beitang also looked at her, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to say according to her meaning: "Just take it!" The king went. ”

Mingzhu looked at Shangguan Beitang's departing figure, frowned, and fell into deep thought. Yuzhu came over and asked, "What's wrong with Miss Mingzhu?" What do you think? ”

"No, nothing." Mingzhu came back to her senses and said, "Sister Yuzhu, it's too boring to stay in the house these days, I'll go out for a walk later." ”

"Okay, I haven't been out for the past few days, I'll accompany you!" Yuzhu looked at her and said.

"No, Sister Yuzhu, I'll just go by myself, don't you still have to do laundry for the prince today?" Mingzhu declined with some embarrassment.

"Also, Fuzhong has been too busy these two days, and the sun is very good today, just enough to wash clothes. Alright, go yourself, be careful! Yuzhu kindly advised.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shangguan Beitang came to the palace and saw that the palace was full of sons who had not yet married, the prince. After greeting them one by one, he walked up to Jiang Zikai and Bai Ying, who were chatting, and asked, "What did you two say?" ”

Jiang Zikai turned his head and saw his face, so he couldn't help but take two steps back and said, "I'll go, Cousin Bei, who are you?" ”

"Why is Brother Zikai so excited, if you look at Bai Gongzi, people are much calmer." Shangguan Beitang glanced at him and said.

"Why does the prince look like this?" Bai Ying asked in surprise.

"He probably wants to match Princess Nanxiang's national color Tianxiang!" Jiang Zikai joked.

"Go, go, I don't know if Princess Nanxiang is the king of the country and Tianxiang, but the king has no intention of this." Shangguan Beitang said.

"Isn't it that the prince already has a heart?" Baiying asked again. "Someone asked me that this morning, and now you ask the same question, so you should be!" Shangguan Beitang shook his head helplessly.

"Whose girl can make the King of Beixuan so infatuated, even the princess of Nanxiang doesn't want it, hey, tell us!" Jiang Zikai stabbed Shangguan Beitang with his elbow.

Shangguan Beitang glanced at him and said angrily, "Your family." "Well, I don't have a girl in my family."

As he was talking, he heard a report: "Princess Nanxiang has arrived." And they all stood in turn. Shangguan Beitang looked at this group of dignified boys, and then silently retreated to the back row.

I saw Princess Nanxiang dressed in purple, walking lightly through the crowd, leaving a burst of fragrance everywhere she went. She wore a light veil on her face and looked around at everyone.

And all the eyes followed her shadow, and when she went to the east, the people looked east, and when she looked west, they followed her eyes. As soon as she frowned, everyone felt a pain in their hearts, hating that they couldn't relieve her worries.

And all this has nothing to do with Shangguan Beitang, he silently hid in the back row and lowered his head, not looking at Princess Nanxiang.

However, when the peach blossoms came, they couldn't stop it, and just when Shangguan Beitang thought that he was going to be fooled and relieved, Princess Nanxiang walked towards him step by step.

Without squinting, she stood in front of him through the crowd. Shangguan Beitang only felt a thunderbolt flickering in front of him, and thought: "It's bad, isn't this princess in a hurry!" There are more people here who are taller than me, who are more talented than me, how can they look down on me? I must have been hallucinating. ”

His eyes closed and opened again. Suddenly, my heart was half cold again. Didn't this man stand right before him? She looked at him affectionately, and called softly: "Lord Wang." The sound made the people crack to the bone.

But Shangguan Beitang Beitang was too nervous, he only felt that the voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. He replied with a slight embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness, Princess." ”

"Lord Wang, don't you want to see me?" Princess Nanxiang said again. "The princess is beautiful and fragrant, and Weichen doesn't dare to be rude." Shangguan Beitang lowered his head and replied.

"Is it the national color and natural fragrance, how do you know if you don't look at it?" Shangguan Beitang knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to raise his head and look at Princess Nanxiang.

Looking at those clear and moving eyes, Shangguan Beitang understood something in a trance. Although the person in front of him was wearing a veil, he had already confirmed seven or eight points of who it was.

Princess Nanxiang handed him the silk handkerchief in her hand and said, "Give it." Shangguan Beitang looked at the silk handkerchief a little distracted, he knew that once he took the silk handkerchief, it would mean that he accepted Princess Nanxiang.

But how can this be made. Shangguan Beitang hesitated, although he didn't want to hurt Princess Nanxiang, he couldn't take this silk handkerchief.

"Thanks to the princess's love, but this Beitang can't be accepted." Shangguan Beitang took a step back, bowed down and said to Princess Nanxiang.

As soon as he said this, everyone in the palace panicked and discussed, no one would have imagined that the King of Beixuan would refuse Princess Nanxiang in public.

Although Jiang Zikai also felt that the figure of this princess was a little familiar, he couldn't remember who she was. He stepped forward to dissuade Shangguan Beitang and said, "Cousin Bei, why are you doing this?"

Princess Nanxiang was also surprised by his refusal, she couldn't help but shudder, and continued to ask with tears in her eyes: "Isn't it me in the prince's heart?" ”

Shangguan Beitang had no choice but to stare at her without squinting and said ruthlessly: "No." ”

"But, the prince treats me very well. and my life. They took me in. "Princess Nanxiang is about to cry.

"Save my aunt, the princess's life is a matter of the minister's duty, no matter who I meet, I will draw a knife to help.

As for the take-in, whoever is homeless can find me and stay in my house for a few days. "Shangguan Beitang is ruthless to the end. He knew that if he didn't stop at this time, he would be in trouble.

"But," Princess Nanxiang wanted to say something more, but Shangguan Beitang interrupted her and said, "Princess, the minister has something to do, so I'll leave first." The minister retired. ”

Without looking back, he walked straight out of the main hall.

Princess Nanxiang looked at his resolute, cold back, and could no longer suppress her feelings. With tears in his eyes, he had to leave silently.

Only everyone in the hall was left talking, and they didn't know what was going on. But Jiang Zikai heard something from the conversation between the two.

At this moment, he finally thought of who Princess Nanxiang was, the last time he saw her, she was still arrogant and willful, but now looking at her heartbroken appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

Shangguan Beitang didn't know how he got back home. He only vaguely remembered what Yuzhu said to him when he entered the house.

But he couldn't remember what it was. He sat in the study in a daze for an afternoon, and only in the evening did he wake up a little when Yuzhu brought in the food.

He unconsciously asked, "What are you doing with Mingzhu today?" ”

"The slave maid washed her clothes today, Mingzhu went to the street for a walk, and she hasn't come back yet, I just asked Uncle Qin to send someone to find it. Hey, didn't I report it when you went home? Why do you ask again, Lord Wang, are you uncomfortable somewhere? Yuzhu put the dish in front of him, reached out and touched his forehead and said.

"This king is fine, don't look for it, she won't come back." Shangguan Beitang breathed a sigh of relief, took Yuzhu's hand away and said.

"Why don't you come back? Lord, did you meet her? She found the person she was looking for. But Mingzhu should at least come back and say goodbye to us! Yuzhu asked again.

"I'll have to call her Princess Nanxiang in the future." Shangguan Beitang said coldly.

Yuzhu was really frightened: "Princess Nanxiang? She, but why did she hide her identity from us? ”

Shangguan Beitang didn't answer, just stared at the food on the table wordlessly.

Yuzhu couldn't help clenching the handkerchief in his hand, and said, "The prince is going to see her son-in-law ceremony today." ”

"Hmm." Shangguan Beitang replied weakly.

"Then who did she choose, no wonder she didn't come back, whether it's good or not, we have to congratulate her, after all, she is also the one who went out of our Beixuan Palace." Yuzhu chattered kindly.

"Me." Shangguan Beitang said again. "What's wrong with you, lord?" Yuzhu looked at him with some puzzlement. "I'm the one she chose." Shangguan Beitang said helplessly.

"You, how could it be? Is she crazy? Yuzhu's mouth opened wide again in surprise, and soon she understood what was going on.

"W-how's this good?" She couldn't help but paced back and forth a few steps.

"What can I do, the only way to do it is for the soldiers to come and cover the water." Shangguan Beitang has no other way.

He didn't know if his actions today would make Princess Nanxiang die, but he could only do so. He only knew that Princess Nanxiang would never be able to marry back to the mansion.

On the side of Princess Nanxiang, she fell ill after returning to Honglu Temple and slept in bed for a whole day. On this day, she was in a daze, like a dream, recalling the bits and pieces of her and the King of the North Circle.

On that day, her father decreed that she should marry her to Jiang Guolai, but she refused in every way, but her father's decision had been decided, and the holy decree could not be changed.

She asked her father for a gift, and let her choose her own horses after she came to Jiang Kingdom, whether she was rich or poor, or high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The convoy to send off her relatives went out of Nanxiang, and when she passed through the Western Regions, she fled the convoy, intending to see the customs of Jiang Guo. She let her maid pretend to be a princess to hide people's eyes, and she ran to the border between Jiang and Nanxiang to get away with it.

Who knew that within a few days of being free, her silver was stolen, and she had to find a place to eat, but she didn't expect to be deceived and sold to a merchant in the Western Regions as a slave.

In those days, she tasted all the sufferings of the world, and sympathized with the people's feelings from body to heart.

Not long after, the merchants of the Western Regions took her to Kyoto, Jiang Country. She was accompanied by several slaves, whom the traders intended to sell.

That day, she learned that Nanxiang's mission was also going to Beijing, so she planned to flee to find the mission. But she didn't want to escape, and after being discovered, the vendors beat her severely.

It wasn't until the evening that she was taken out. The traders tied their slaves with ropes and brought them to the market. She looked around for a familiar face, but saw nothing.

Later, a rich boy came to see her, and when the vendor asked him if he wanted it, he said no. At that time, her heart was going to die.
