Chapter 003: Princess Qianjin
"What? Let me be a princess and make peace with Qi Yan, the second prince of the Crescent Moon Kingdom? "After thousands of calculations, I didn't count that I would win such a jackpot." Isn't there a princess in this palace? Why do you want to make me a princess? ”
"According to His Majesty the Emperor's explanation, the princess has already had a marriage contract and cannot go to get married." The father sighed and said: "And the Queen Mother also came forward, and even tested our Zhao Wangfu with the word loyalty, so my father had no choice but to nod and agree." ”
Seeing my father's face full of guilt, I was also very uncomfortable. I stepped forward and grabbed my father's hands, smiled and comforted: "Father, don't be sad, anyway, your daughter is also adventurous, and it is a lucky thing to go to a foreign country as a princess. ”
The father smiled miserably, "You have no mother since you were a child, and now you go to such a far place alone, how can your father not worry." I will let Li Da and Du Ruo accompany you to the new moon together, anyway, they don't have any family, it's the same everywhere. ”
"That being said, it's better to ask them for their opinions." When I think about it this way, I naturally don't want to drag others down because of myself, otherwise, it will be too chivalrous.
"Miss, Du Ruo is willing to follow Miss to the crescent moon." Du Ruo saluted on the side and said, "Miss is Du Ruo's only relative, where Miss goes, Du Ruo will go." ”
I am grateful to Du Ruo in my heart, but I don't like the rhythm of tears falling at every turn, "Du Ruo, if you really think like this, follow this princess." Now that I'm a princess, your status won't be too low, so this should be something to be thankful about, and there's no need to be sad. ”
I don't know if she wanted to open it herself, or if my words worked, Du Ruo really put away her tears and stood quietly behind me. I still wanted to reach out to help her, but I wasted my movements and expressions.
I clapped my hands and sat back in my place awkwardly, and my father shouted to Li Da, who was guarding the door, to enter the house.
"Li Da, you should have heard what we said just now." Father asked softly.
"Please rest assured, I will definitely protect the young lady to the death. No, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
"Well, okay, since you agree, let's go back and prepare, probably, it's only a matter of two or three days." What my father said was natural, but I listened to it with a deep heart.
"The will of the imperial court should reach the Zhao Wangfu tomorrow morning, Xuan'er, when the time comes, you will be the real princess of the Great Zhou." The father said with a little bitterness: "You can no longer call me father." ”
"Father, you are my father whenever and wherever you are." I looked at my father with emotion, at his sudden gray hair, and suddenly a trace of sourness passed through my heart. "Forgive my daughter for not being able to fulfill her filial piety by your side, my father has to take care of my health, and my daughter will definitely come back to visit my father."
The father's eyes were moist, but because of the man's strength, he still endured it and did not fall behind. Perhaps it was my father's strength that influenced me and gave me a manly character, not easy, unwilling to cry easily, and not able to cry.
In the early morning of the next day, the eunuchs in the palace really came to the palace of King Zhao early and recited the will that had been known long ago.
I bowed down to the ground with my father and shouted "Long live" to greet the Divine Decree. Of course, it is indispensable to accept the emperor's wedding dress, gold and silver jewelry, and other dowry items.
Listening to my father, in order to highlight the grandeur of the Great Zhou, I spent a lot of money in the dowry palace this time, and of course I used a lot of thoughts. Even the convoy that sent off relatives was carefully selected elite soldiers, so that the left general of the dynasty Gu Shoucheng came to be the leader of the team.
I smiled and joked to my father: "It seems that His Majesty the Emperor still attaches great importance to our Zhao Wangfu." ”
The father smiled bitterly and said something very disobedient. "I'm afraid that by the time you reach the new moon, this Da Zhou has already changed his surname."
I couldn't help but wonder how my father, who had always been honest and did not care about politics, suddenly came up with such disrespectful words. It wasn't until the situation developed later that I realized that the reason why my father finally agreed to let me go to the family was probably for my safety. As for Gu Shoucheng, it was also him who pleaded with His Majesty to protect me.
After receiving the will, and avoiding the people beside me, my father led me to the inner hall, took out a black dagger, and handed it to me. "This is a dark iron dagger that my father got from a friend in the rivers and lakes, and you hid it for self-defense."
I took the dagger, pulled it out and looked, and it was sharp. "Thank you father, in fact, with General Gu leading the team, even if there is danger, he can resolve it."
The father shook his head and reminded: "Taiwei's martial arts are not low, so he was assassinated in the same way?" The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, so it is safer to take them with you. ”
I put away the dagger and quipped at my father, "Then my father has some heart armor and other things, and those knights in the book often use these to defend themselves." ”
The father couldn't help laughing and said, "You, I've listened to too many books, if you really have any heart armor, your dagger will also be pierced, what's the use of having it?" ”
Seeing the smile on my father's face, I also smirked. But my father's words still made me feel a little sad.
"On the day of the kiss, my father won't go, you know, I can't see parting."
My father carried me behind my back and spoke in the gentlest tone, but there was still a tremor in his voice.
I looked at my father's back and said silently, "My daughter understands." ”
