The vendor whipped her with a leather whip, and she couldn't feel the pain anymore.

She felt like she was going to die the next moment. She was humiliated, angry, but useless. Now, at the moment, she was just a slave, a humble and insignificant slave.

She even resented why the rich boy didn't want to buy her. At least then she would have hope of being alive.

At this moment, the boy turned to look at her who had been beaten.

Finally he paid for her.

She followed him, and she felt only one step, two steps...

She is moving towards hope, light. At least a better life than it is now.

Unexpectedly, after she followed him out of the market again, the first thing he said to her was: "You go!" ”

She felt very surprised, this boy spent money to buy her, but did not let her be a slave, she could never have imagined that there would be such a person in this world. After she clarified her background, she even returned the deed of sale to her.

What a joy it was for the boy to leave her! She was free.

Yes, freedom, longed for, lost and regained.

But where should she go to the huge city of Kyoto? She was distraught and homeless.

Originally, she planned to go to the Nanxiang Mission, but she couldn't help but wonder who that son was. So she asked someone to inquire.

The King of Beixuan, he turned out to be the King of Beixuan of Jiang Kingdom. So she found his house all the way.

and he stayed in his house for several days. He treated her very well, and never treated her as a slave, but only as a guest in the house.

This time in the North Vortex King was the happiest time of her life.

She swings and he rocks her in the back. She kicked the shuttlecock, and he counted it. He accompanied her when she played.

But now, he actually said that he had someone in his heart, and that person was not her. He rejected her in public. How does this make her face it, how can she be embarrassed...

Princess Nanxiang slept in a daze for a day and a night, and in her dreams she recalled everything between her and Shangguan Beitang. She didn't believe in him and didn't love her. She naively thought that Shangguan Beitang just suddenly knew her identity and couldn't accept it.

When she woke up, she made a bold decision. For this decision, she carried her weak body into the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

"What, you're moving into the Beixuan Palace?" The Queen Mother in Fushou Palace looked at Princess Nanxiang in disbelief.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Princess Nanxiang said firmly.

"But this is not in accordance with the rules, how can you go to live in someone's house before you get married. Mingzhu, although I know that you are infatuated with the King of Beixuan, but this," the Queen Mother said politely.

"The Queen Mother, it is not in accordance with the rules in your Jiang country, but we don't pay so much attention to it in Nanxiang, as long as the man who lets the girl say the first sentence at the age of marriage in Nanxiang is already the person chosen by the woman." Princess Nanxiang said seriously.

"This," the Queen Mother was a little incredulous.

"Queen Mother, no matter what, anyway, Mingzhu has decided that the king of Beixuan is the king, so you agree with me!" Mingzhu asked again.

"Well, as long as you're not afraid of affecting your reputation." The Queen Mother sighed and said.

"Thank you Queen Mother, reputation and money are just things outside the body." Princess Nanxiang saluted and thanked her.

"Reputation and money are things outside the body, not bad," the Queen Mother repeated her words again, nodded and said: "You Nanxiang country people are very transparent!" ”

In the afternoon of this day, Princess Nanxiang came to the Beixuan Palace with the Queen Mother's decree. Steward Qin, Yuzhu and others came to greet them.

Princess Nanxiang looked at the people kneeling on the ground, hurriedly helped Steward Qin and Yuzhu, took Yuzhu's hand and said, "Uncle Qin, Sister Yuzhu, you don't have to kneel to me, what we were like in the past, and what will be like in the future!" ”

Yuzhu hurriedly withdrew his hand. He took two steps back and said: "The princess can't help it, in the past, we were ignorant, and we didn't know the identity of the princess to be rude, the princess didn't remember the past, and the adults didn't make trouble with the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids were already very grateful. ”

"Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, this ceremony is not less!" Qin Bo also said.

Princess Nanxiang frowned and said, "It seems that you really gave birth to me." ”

"If the princess is this, it will be difficult for the slaves and maids to say it, don't talk about it quickly, your room has been cleaned up, princess go and see!" Yuzhu said with a smile.

"No, I'll live in the same room I used to have! What about the prince? Princess Nanxiang said again.

"The prince is not in the mansion." Yuzhu replied.

"That's okay, the prince will tell me when he comes back." Princess Nanxiang was not polite when she spoke, and walked straight to the inner courtyard.

Shangguan Beitang didn't dare to go home in Jiang Mansion at the moment, he looked at Jiang Zikai on the side and said: "Tell me, you say, this king is dressed like that, this is a refusal both openly and secretly, this Nanxiang princess actually dares to come?" ”

"Cousin North, how can you think like this, Princess Nanxiang can match you in terms of status and appearance, why don't you want to?" Jiang Zikai said puzzled.

"Hey, could it be that you're really as rumored?" Jiang Zikai walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

"What rumors?" Shangguan Beitang was confused.

"That's it!" Jiang Zikai looked him up and down.

"Which one?" Shangguan Beitang was still puzzled.

"Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you." Jiang Zikai said again.

"Speak well, which one?"

"Isn't it true that you are suffering from a hidden disease?" Jiang Zikai asked in a low voice with his mouth half-covered.

Shangguan Beitang looked at the position he was looking at again and pushed him aside: "Go, go, you are." ”

"Since you're not, then why don't you want to accept Princess Nanxiang?" Jiang Zikai asked again.

"She, tell me that she has lived in my palace for many days, I thought she was just an ordinary girl, but now it's good, she has become the princess of Nanxiang. How do I accept this? Shangguan Beitang's eyes flickered and he evaded.

"You're a mediocre person. Isn't this what people are precious? You saved her, and she came to repay the favor, and promised her. Jiang Zikai said again.

"Hey, okay, okay, I can't tell you, I'll go back." With that, Shangguan Beitang got up and left.

When he returned to the palace, Uncle Qin reported to him: "Lord, Princess Nanxiang has arrived. ”

Shangguan Beitang said "um" and walked towards the study.

"Also, there is a letter from Lord Wei today, and I have put it on the case." Uncle Qin followed behind him and reported.

"Okay, I'll go and see it. Princess Nanxiang's food and clothing must be the same as this king, after all, people have arrived in our palace, and we must not treat her badly. Shangguan Beitang admonished as he walked.

"Yes, the minion understands." Uncle Qin said as he opened the door of the study for him. As soon as Shangguan Beitang stepped into the door of the study, he heard a crisp voice outside, "Brother Beitang." ”

He suddenly had a thrill and thought: This can't be avoided!

Turned around and said, "Princess Nanxiang, what a coincidence!" This king is going to see you after finishing his military affairs. ”

"Brother Beitang doesn't have to be polite, Mingzhu didn't hear that you were back, so he came to say goodbye." Princess Nanxiang smiled, "These are some specialties from my hometown, and I specially brought them to you to taste." ”

As she spoke, she took a food box from the hand of the maid behind her and held it in front of Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang took it and said, "The princess is polite, and this king will accept it." ”

"Brother Beitang, you haven't called me Mingzhu for a long time." Princess Nanxiang leaned closer to him and said.

Shangguan Beitang was a little nervous about such a close distance, "Princess, in the past, I didn't know the identity of the princess, but now that I know, I naturally have to follow etiquette." ”

"But I like you to call me Mingzhu, why don't you want to call me that?" Princess Nanxiang came closer again, and her face was almost pasted to Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang only felt that his breathing was a little short, and he took a step back and said, "Princess, please respect yourself." ”

Princess Nanxiang was a little displeased when she heard this, and she also stepped back and said, "Does the prince really dislike Mingzhu?" ”

"The princess is beautiful and moving, and she should choose a better person. Why waste time on me. "Shangguan Beitang's meaning couldn't be clearer.

"But I like you, you're the best." Princess Nanxiang's voice couldn't help but be louder, but her tone was extremely firm.

Shangguan Beitang sighed and said, "Princess, why is this a problem? ”

"Then tell me why you don't like me? Do you really hate me? Princess Nanxiang asked again.

"This," Shangguan Beitang was silent, he didn't know how to answer, in terms of appearance, Princess Nanxiang is a beauty in a thousand, and in terms of family status, she is the pearl of King Nanxiang. Anyway, she's a likable girl.

But what about herself, how to tell her that she can't like her.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Princess Nanxiang said with a happy smile on the corner of her face: "Since you can't answer, you don't like it or hate it." Don't worry, sooner or later I'll make you like me. ”

With that, she turned and walked away. Shangguan Beitang looked at her departing figure and fell into silent contemplation.

Princess Nanxiang's pursuit of Shangguan Beitang can be regarded as the surging river flowing endlessly.

One evening, Shangguan Beitang was reading in the study, and Yuzhu was waiting on the side.

"Yuzhu, go to the kitchen and get food! The king was a little hungry. Shangguan Beitang held the book in one hand and touched his stomach with the other and said.

"Hungry, you see, you eat a little when you are told to eat." Yuzhu scolded with a smile.

"Tell me, when I was eating, Princess Nanxiang sat next to me and wanted to feed and pick up vegetables, how can this king eat! Go, go, go! Shangguan Beitang was also quite helpless.

"Here we go." Yuzhu put down the work at hand and walked out of the study.

Serve a bowl of white fungus porridge from the kitchen, and take some walnut crisp and almond crisp. Yuzhu carried these to the study.

But I didn't want to pass by Qing Yaju and bumped into Princess Nanxiang who was about to go to the pavilion to admire the moon. Yuzhu wanted to take a detour to dodge, but it was too late.

So I had to bite the bullet and ask Andao: "Princess." Princess Nanxiang looked at the things in her hand and said, "Yuzhu, are you carrying these things to give them to the prince?" ”

"Yes."

"Bring it, I'll deliver it." Seeing Yuzhu admit that Princess Nanxiang reached out to take the food box in her hand.

Yuzhu dodged and said, "Princess, it's so late, I'd better send it!" ”

Princess Nanxiang was quite unhappy to see Yuzhu hiding from her, but she knew that Yuzhu's position in this Beixuan Palace's palace was very important, and she couldn't be her enemy.

So, she said to Yuzhu with a smile on her face: "Sister Yuzhu has been busy for such a day, she must be tired!" I'll deliver it! ”
