Chapter 16: The Expedition
King Ryan is still very prestigious in the palace, at least as soon as he said this, all the concubines stopped talking, honestly like a child who made a mistake, waiting for the punishment of adults.
In the end, they couldn't see any hope on King Ryan's face, whether they followed him to Zezhou or let the prince stay, it was impossible to achieve, and even I couldn't be left in the palace by King Ryan, so they all withdrew.
I said faintly: "Actually, they don't have to go to Zezhou, if you can keep me here, I'm afraid they won't be able to make trouble." They just looked at you and you took me, but they didn't take them, and they just looked red. Why did I just enter the palace and be so spoiled by you, they have been with you for so many years, but they can't be by your side? β
"But you can also see that their hearts are not all on me, and some people don't want to go to death with me, they just want to stay in Ning'an County to enjoy the happiness and enjoy the convenience and benefits brought to them by King Ruian's concubine. But speaking of which, you want to go to Zezhou with me, the purpose is really so simple, just afraid of being bullied by them in the palace? Ryan asked curiously.
I smiled and said, "Probably not to cultivate a relationship with you, right?" The main thing is to find something to do, if Zezhou can let me survive on my own, will I be able to get out of the palace and not be a parasite who depends on others to survive? Do I have the right and confidence to reject you? Even if you get tired of me one day, I can live a good life and not die because of your abandonment? β
King Ryan obviously heard this argument for the first time, and he was a little uncomfortable, and this still came out of my mouth, for a prince who is accustomed to women being dependent on men, and for men to obey and have four virtues, my theory is too shocking and too unacceptable.
But this is also the first time I have said this, let alone my stubborn parents before, even Lu Fengnian, who has always been very close to my personality and temper, I don't dare to declare this idea, I can only say that Lu Fengnian has a more convenient way to be promoted, so that he can do business, without revealing the secret thoughts in my own heart.
Seeing King Ryan's surprised expression, I looked like "I knew it was like this", and said, "I know that my idea is ridiculous, and it is unacceptable to a high-ranking prince like you, right?" You just take me for gibberish, don't take it seriously. Otherwise, I should be punished for being so rebellious, right? Lord Wang, you must be reluctant, right? β
King Ryan put away his surprised expression and said, "It's really shocking, don't talk nonsense outside in the future, you will be drowned by the spit of others." But how do you have that kind of thought? How come I haven't heard you talk about it before? Oh yes, you've got amnesia, I'm afraid you've been the same since you fell overboard, right? β
The prince is an outsider, and he definitely doesn't know about my life in Lufu, and he doesn't have the opportunity to contact me after falling into the water, so it's normal not to know about my changes.
"yes, it's different, you don't know yet, do you? Not only do I not remember the past, but I also forgot everything about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my father and mother were dying of sorrow for this. But fortunately, I am still literate, and I can still talk to you about poetry and songs, and you will not feel too bored in your future married life. As for my temperament, you have also seen it in the past two days, it is impossible to be submissive and gentle, and it is a blessing not to cause you trouble. But my lord, I think you should be glad that you have married a princess with a difference. Otherwise, I still think of the same as before, gentle as water, wouldn't it be the same as those concubines of yours, without any characteristics, and it can't match my identity as Princess Ryan? "My strong words are likely to surprise King Ryan again, and then disgust.
But I didn't expect King Ryan to agree with my words, and said, "What you said makes some sense, but I don't know if you're different, is it true?" Are you pretending to be different and get my attention? β
I instantly felt bored talking to him, and said, "Don't you want to come to my room?" Now it's time to get out. Tomorrow is the battle, hurry up and say goodbye to those concubines of yours! Don't waste your time with me! β
Seeing that I turned my face instantly, King Ryan couldn't hold back his temper anymore after enduring the night, snorted, got up and left.
Cai'er heard the conversation between me and Ryan Wang throughout the whole process, and she helplessly persuaded me: "Miss, what is this doing?" Wouldn't it be nice to get along with the prince? In the future, you will be able to stay in the palace, you will be lively so quickly, how will you live in the future? β
Cai'er still didn't understand what I meant, but still felt that I should follow King Ryan's heart and please him, so that I could gain a foothold in the palace for a long time, get King Ryan's favor, and make my life better.
But blindly compromising will not only not get me any benefits, but will also make King Ryan dislike me early and find a new love. Only when I am disobedient will I leave a distinctive impression in his heart and make him look at me differently.
The worst and worst plan, King Ryan really starts to hate me from now on, then I won't think much about him, so that when I leave him in the future, I won't be too heartbroken, the best of both worlds.
Instead of paying attention to him now, and finally when he leaves me, I can't extricate myself because of too much affection, it's better to stop from now on, and treat him lightly, so that I won't be so sad in the future.
I was simple and naΓ―ve, thinking that as long as I didn't feel emotionally attached to him and didn't invest too much in him, I wouldn't be sad and sad in the future, but I didn't know that all my expectations were wrong.
Before dawn the next day, someone outside the door called me to get up, saying that the prince's expedition was about to depart, and asked me to hurry up and prepare. Although I hadn't woken up yet, I got up with my eyes squinted and washed, changed into a narrow-sleeved jacket, traveled lightly, and set off with the team.
Originally, I thought that when they men went on the expedition, they were all going to ride horses, and I was afraid that in order not to drag down the team, I would also have to ride horses. But I forgot that King Ryan also had to bring some military supplies with him, so in addition to the accompanying palace guards, he was also followed by a few carriages, pulling money, food, supplies and other things.
I was very fortunate to have a carriage to sit in. But after getting on the car, I found that this carriage was also one of the transporting materials, and it contained King Ryan's small treasury, in addition to the military salary given to him by the Holy Lord, there was also the money prepared by King Ryan.
It turns out that I was asked to ride in this carriage, just to show you the money? Is it that every penny missing will be counted in my account and let me make up for it?
I have a headache instantly, what can I do? Originally, I wanted to do some small actions of my own, but now it seems that it may be difficult to implement.
