Chapter 362: Hibiscus Flower
Before the fall of the Li Kingdom, when the relationship between Qing and Li was not bad, King Qing sent his fifth daughter, Princess Jinxi, to Li to marry the third prince of King Li.
On the way to the Kingdom of Li, for a month, Princess Jinxi did not send a message to King Qing on whether he was safe on the road.
No one knows exactly what happened in this month, and when King Qing received the flying pigeon message from Princess Jinxi, the procession had already arrived at the Imperial Palace.
In the huge and luxurious carriage, the sound of coughing from the princess would be heard from time to time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Princess Jinxi was dressed in cumbersome costumes, with a heavy crown of hair, and got out of the carriage with the support of the personal palace maid.
"Princess, it's windy now, let's go in quickly." As long as someone observes carefully, they can find that the palace maid is holding the princess in vain, and she has not touched the princess's hand.
"Ahem... Cough... Hmm..."Princess Jinxi, as the first five daughters of King Qing, has been sick since she was born, and it is useless how many supplements she has taken since she was a child.
The imperial doctor was also helpless against his illness, and as time passed, King Qing came to see his frail daughter less and less.
According to custom, people who are about to get married are not allowed to meet, although there is still nearly half a month before the wedding of Princess Jinxi and the third prince.
The two of them could not see each other in private or in public, and they had to wait until the wedding day, when the third prince personally unveiled the bride's hijab, and at that time, it was the first time they really met.
In the room, Princess Jinxi's cough became more and more serious, she covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and kept coughing, while the so-called personal palace maid was sitting on a chair with an impatient face.
"Count your fate, you have a face that looks like our princess, and you will have glory and wealth at your fingertips for the rest of your life, tsk." The personal palace maid's name is Xiaocui, and she squinted at the 'Princess Jinxi' who was sitting on the edge of the bed and coughing quietly.
"I don't live for three years, where did I get a good life... Ahem..."'Princess Jinxi' laughed to herself, she didn't have a good life to enjoy the glory and wealth that was close at hand.
"At least, you will be able to get the best care in the past three years, after all, you are now the princess of Qingguo, and you are about to become the princess of the third prince of Li Kingdom." Xiao Cui knew that the person sitting on the side of the bed was not the real Princess Jinxi.
The real Princess Jinxi had already run away, and she found the daughter of an ordinary family, who looked like her, and married her to the country of Li in her place.
This person's name is Hua Yihe, the fifth in the family, what a coincidence, Princess Jinxi is also the fifth, she Hua Yihe, seems destined to marry Princess Jinxi to Li Kingdom.
And the real Princess Jinxi, her body has been healed four years ago, but she has been pretending to be weak and sick, only in this way can she get the pity of her father.
Hua Yihe fell into a cold well when she was a child, and it took nearly three hours to be found and rescued, and her body fell to the root of the disease, and she could not be completely cured.
In addition, she herself has been sick since her mother's womb, and the doctors who have come to see her say that she will not live to be twenty years old.
When Princess Jinxi appeared at her house, she saw Princess Jinxi's face and knew that she would have such a day to marry her in the Li Kingdom instead of Princess Jinxi's identity.
Hua Yihe's family, so they get a large amount of gold, enough for them to squander two lives, if they use this gold to make a big business, their Hua family will soon be rich.
It is now a hot summer, and the breeze blowing outside the window seems to be able to soothe Hua Yihe's cough, she got up and walked slowly to the window, thinking that she would exchange her alone for the Hua family's two lifetimes of food and clothing, and it was worth it.
"Do you remember all the princess's preferences?" Xiaocui still looks down on Hua Yihe, why doesn't she have such good luck to replace Princess Jinxi.
"It's all in mind, don't worry." Hua Yihe was in the carriage, and she had been learning Princess Jinxi's smile, remembering all her preferences, as well as her good memories with her father, and so on.
All seemingly perfect plans have a fatal flaw, and that is that the walls have ears.
On the day of the wedding of the 'Princess Jinxi' and the third prince King Qin, the king and the queen came forward in person, which can be imagined to give Qingguo enough face.
At night, the banquet was over, King Qin claimed that he was not drunk with a thousand cups, and after drinking so much wine, he could walk steadily outside the happy room, pushed open the door and walked in, Xiaocui and the other maids quickly lowered their heads and focused on holding the tray.
Xiao Cui was holding the jade Ruyi, she needed to stand on the side of King Qin first and hand the jade Ruyi to him, she held the jade Ruyi for a long time, and she didn't wait for the King of Qin to pick up the jade Ruyi.
"This king's princess Qin seems to have been weak and sick since she was a child, so it's better not to drink this wine." Before the hijab was lifted, the King of Qin proposed that the wine be dispensed with.
Seeing this, everyone knelt down one after another, and Xiao Cui opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, this wine can never be removed, although the princess is weak, she can still drink only one sip of wine." ”
Hua Yihe suppressed her cough, a little painful, she wouldn't be good if she took a sip of wine, she just couldn't figure out why King Qin wanted to say such a thing.
"This king said that if you don't drink, you won't drink, so all of you should stand down." The hijab has not been lifted for a long time, but this King Qin has asked everyone to retreat, Xiao Cui's nervous heartbeat is extremely fast, did King Qin find something?!
The masters have spoken, they can only retreat obediently, who dares to contradict King Qin like Xiao Cui, if it weren't for the fact that she is the personal palace maid of Princess Jinxi, she would have been dragged out a long time ago.
Before everyone left, everything was put on the table, only the wine was taken out, and King Qin got up and picked up the jade Ruyi on the table and played with it.
"Should I call you a princess, or should I call you a flower girl?" Yu Ruyi slowly lifted the bride's hijab, and with King Qin's words, he successfully saw Hua Yihe's extremely pale face.
The horror in her eyes did not escape King Qin's sight, and her frantically blinking eyes gradually filled with tears because of fear.
"Next time you have any secrets, it's best not to say it in the room, and even if you do, you should see if there are people around." King Qin originally sent people to the Imperial Pavilion where Princess Jinxi was temporarily staying, to let people see how she looked and how she looked.
Unexpectedly, the person sent to hear a secret that shocked him so much, Princess Jinxi, who was really going to marry him, had already fled.
And now the woman who married him instead of Princess Jinxi is named Hua Yihe, who is the fifth daughter of a family surnamed Hua in Yuecheng, Qingguo.
Hua Yihe was stupid, she didn't expect to be recognized so quickly, and it was because she didn't notice that someone was eavesdropping when she was talking to Xiaocui.
As a result, she has committed the crime of bullying the king, and she is going to be punished by the Nine Clans...
"Don't be afraid, I won't expose you, you are now my wife, my princess Qin."
