Chapter 221: The Seventh Princess
[Ran^ζ^Library][]. []. The man was the leader of the Kaifeng Mansion officials at this time, and he looked to be the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, who looked no more than twenty years old, wearing a luxurious brocade robe with gold and silk trims, a white jade belt around his waist, and a high crown on his head, and two thin forging ropes hanging down from the crown and falling straight down his shoulders along the sideburns. γRan Library (7764)γ
Looking at his delicate appearance and luxurious clothes, he looks like Jia Baoyu in the Dream of Red Mansions, but unlike Jia Baoyu, he does not have Jia Baoyu's femininity and innocence, but his temperament is full of confidence and a trace of majesty.
"Too... Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you joking......" Zhao Mingcheng's face stiffened, and he said in confusion at the young man.
Hearing Zhao Mingcheng's address to the young man, Wu Zhi's heart was immediately shocked, this young Kaifeng Mansion Yin ...... It's actually the crown prince?!
Then the sister he just said was Princess Da Song......
The incident happened suddenly, Wu Zhi was a little forced for a while, so he could only look back at Xiao Qi stupidly, and his expression seemed to be asking Xiao Qi, this prince's sister, can't it be you?
Xiao Qi squinted and smiled at Wu Zhi, then shook off Zhao Mingcheng's hand in disgust, and glared at the prince stubbornly before walking in front of the prince with a reluctant face.
"Brother Huang, you brought so many people here in a menacing manner, this is obviously to catch criminals!" Xiao Qi pouted unhappily to the prince in front of him.
Brother Huang?!
Wu Zhi looked at Xiao Qi's graceful back in front of him in shock, and reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Xiao Qi called the crown prince the imperial brother...... It turns out that she is really the princess of the Great Song!
It turned out that Xiao Qi was hiding on the street before It was not the official of Kaifeng Mansion who was hiding, but she was afraid that her imperial brother would recognize her. Xiao Qi should have sneaked out, so he mixed into the back kitchen of Fan Lou to eat and drink, and was mistaken by Wu Zhi for a fallen lady, no wonder Xiao Qi's maid in the back kitchen was so good, it was the princess's personal maid in the palace, where could ordinary maids compare.
Before, Wu Zhi still felt that Xiao Qi's life experience was not good, but now it seems that if Xiao Qi's life experience is not good, then there will be no good life experience in the whole world.
Knowing the identity of Princess Xiaoqi, not only Wu Zhi was stunned, everyone around looked at Xiao Qi with wide eyes, this handsome young scholar who was in the limelight tonight was actually a princess disguised as a man, which was too unexpected.
Zhao Mingcheng's long face, which had just recovered some of his complexion, turned purple again at this moment, and it was the third time that his face had become so ugly tonight, I really don't know if he could recover in the future......
After the prince saw Xiao Qi come out, his majestic face was also a little soft, he stared at Xiao Qi and smiled: "Ling'er, you also said that if I didn't bring so many people, I could catch you!" Who broke up those two guards in my house last time? β
The prince's tone was thick with helplessness.
"Ling'er? It turns out that this Bai Gongzi is the seventh princess in my Great Song Palace, Zhao Ling'er! β
"Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess has such a literary talent, she really deserves to be the smartest princess in my Great Song Dynasty!"
β¦β¦
Obviously, everyone on the field had heard of the name of the Seventh Princess, and after some discussion, the faces of those talents who were speechless by Xiao Qidou just now showed a trace of pride, after all, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess!
Hearing the discussion of the people around him, Wu Zhi also felt a burst of pride, it turned out that the little beauty he had been soaking in was the most intelligent princess of my Great Song Dynasty, and the little hand of Her Royal Highness the princess just now had been caught in his hands......
Xiao Qi's name is Zhao Ling'er, but it's very easy to remember, Wu Zhi is also thinking about it in his heart after hearing this name, saying that the heroine in the TV series Legend of Sword and Fairy is called Zhao Ling'er, could Xiao Qi be the prototype? Does she recognize Li Xiaoyao?
β¦β¦ Wu Zhi knew that he was thinking too much.
After the pride passed, Wu Zhi was a little disappointed, originally after he revealed the identity of the big boss of the proud building, he still had a sense of superiority in front of Xiao Qi, but now this sense of superiority has disappeared, Wu Zhi was horrified to find that now, not to mention that marrying Xiao Qi as a concubine is wishful thinking, he is not worthy of Xiao Qi at all now......
No wonder Xiao Qi was so lonely before.
"I'll see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later."
At this time, Zhou Yanbang also brought a group of famous talents to salute the prince, although everyone was shocked by the identity of the princess, but for the arrival of the prince, everyone was very calm, and there was no scene of the officials and literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Ming and Qing dynasties who panicked when they saw the prince.
Come to think of it, this group of famous literati only bowed slightly when they saw today's officials, how could they be polite when they saw the prince?
The prince is also very accustomed to this, and even he returned the salute to several famous disciples such as Zhou Yanbang, which looks like a courteous son of an ordinary official eunuch.
"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I almost offended His Highness just now, and I hope His Highness will forgive me!"
Zhou Yanbang and others bowed to Xiao Qi again, they were apologizing for Zhao Mingcheng, Zhao Mingcheng was already holding back his purple face at this time, how could he ask him to apologize to Xiao Qi again, after all, he was the son of the prime minister, and these people had to carry around for him.
What an unlucky kid!
Xiao Qi didn't pay attention to them, but just smiled playfully at Li Qingzhao, who was guarding Zhao Mingcheng's side, which was tantamount to not caring about Zhao Mingcheng's offense.
"Haha~ The seventh princess is so talented! After tonight, the wonderful words made by the Seventh Princess tonight, as well as the deeds that match Li Qingzhao's last poem word for word, will definitely spread all over the country together with the three words of the military officials! The princess is so smart, this is my blessing for the Great Song! β
Zhou Yanbang was very respectful to Xiao Qi, although Xiao Qi ignored them, they still flattered Xiao Qi with a shy face, and even squeezed Wu Zhi to the edge.
"The Seven Princesses are ...... unparalleled"
"The Seven Princesses are ...... Talented"
"Seven Princesses Ice and Snow Smart ......"
β¦β¦
For the flattery of famous talents to Xiao Qi, everyone, including Wu Zhi and the prince, didn't feel anything wrong, not to mention whether Xiao Qi's talent was so good, just her status as a princess was enough to be loved by people like the stars.
Because the princess of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed worthy of the love of the people.
In the Song Dynasty of this era, there was a particularly popular saying among the people, saying that it was reincarnation, "I would rather be a slave from a poor family than a royal woman".
It is also strange to say, slaves all hope to go to the rich and noble, so that the life can be nourished, if it is a slave in the cold door, it can be regarded as unlucky, life must be difficult, but why do people prefer to be slaves and laborers in poor people, rather than be royal daughters, princesses of the Great Song Dynasty?
Could it be that Princess Da Song has a bad life?
Of course not, the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty are all clothed and fed, knowledgeable and courteous, they are not only the pearls of the people in the entire palace, but also the pearls of the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty.
Since the princess is so noble and lives so well, why is there such a proverb popular among the people?
Could it be that people are fools?
Of course not!
People "would rather be slaves than royal women", just because the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty are indeed a group of poor people, and when they become adults, they will almost all fall victim to political marriages, and for the peace of the Great Song Dynasty, they have to marry the enemy country of the barbarians.
The people they marry are not all emperors or princes of enemy countries, as long as they are powerful people in enemy countries, no matter how ugly they look and how barbaric their lifestyles are, they dare to come to the Great Song Dynasty to marry a princess, and as long as there is a princess in the Great Song Dynasty who has not left the cabinet, most of these people can get their wish.
A weak country has no diplomacy, and if you don't marry a princess, you will be beaten, and this is not up to you.
Among them, the Liao State is the most excessive, followed by the Western Xia, and even Tubo and Dali and some Southern Barbarian countries have come to the Great Song Dynasty to marry the princess.
Although the military strength of these countries is strong, but the standard of living and social development cannot be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the slender princess of the Great Song Dynasty is equal to a clean and fair-skinned and highly educated weak girl who grew up happily in the Chinese metropolis in later generations...... was married to the same black tribe as the African savannah.
As you can imagine, even if you marry the chief's son, it will not be much better.
Over the past few generations, there have been dozens of princesses married out of the Great Song Dynasty, without exception, after the princesses married to the enemy country, all of them suffered humiliation, or a miserable and miserable life, or died early, in short, most of the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty ended very miserably.
The princesses sacrificed their lifelong happiness for the stability of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so in the Great Song Dynasty, the people's love for the princess even exceeded that of the emperor, and every simple and kind common people could not help but burst into tears when they mentioned the princess.
Even if she is a slave girl from a poor family, sometimes she will be glad that she was not born in the royal family, and she is tired of hindering, at least she is still living in the Great Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhou Yanbang and others are so flattering to Xiao Qi, as long as Her Royal Highness the beloved princess can be happy for a while, then they would rather compromise the integrity of the reader.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi's eyes were full of doting when he looked at Xiao Qi...... Well, although she is a noble princess, her life experience is indeed so miserable.
Thinking back to it now, no wonder Xiao Qi was so sad and cried when he listened to his words just now, "If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind sad painting fan", in Xiao Qi's heart, she and Wu Zhi are destined to be separated from the "autumn wind sad painting fan", but she is very reluctant, so after Wu Zhi returns to her seat, she will take the initiative to grab Wu Zhi's hand.
"Qi'er, Qi'er, the surface is weird and grinning, but the girl's heart is hidden very deeply!"
Secretly smiled, a woman's heart is really a needle under the sea, if she doesn't say it, which man can guess a woman's heart?
Now Wu Zhi is not sad, why is he sad, others may still be pitiful for Xiao Qi's fate, but Wu Zhi knows that Xiao Qi will never repeat the fate of the princess before the Great Song Dynasty!
- Because in this era, there is one more martial arts.
Wu Zhi's goal has always been to make the Great Song Dynasty strong and become the strongest country that cannot stand, so as to ensure that Wu Zhi is comfortable all his life, his descendants are comfortable, and everyone lives comfortably......
Liaoguo? Western Xia? Tibetan? Dali? And the Jin country Mongolia in the back? Let's all come back in the future!
From now on, Wu Zhi will never allow those barbarians to marry the princess of the Great Song Dynasty again, let alone let Xiao Qi suffer the slightest grievance.
Defend the Seven Princesses to the death!
