Chapter 2: The Past
Her life is also peaceful, in fact, a princess like her is not the object of no one's targeting, the trend is not for the prince, her days in the palace do not worry about food and drink, fine clothes and food, but her father has no special favor for her, and she never thought of getting favor from her father.
How can the royal family have any real father-son love, father and son will not have many fathers and daughters, most of the princesses end up with relatives or marry a good family in the capital, and relatives can be regarded as the most tragic end among princesses!
The places where she is close are all remote places, and she will almost never return to Beijing when she leaves the capital, and at the beginning she always thought that she should not be sent to her relatives, first, because her status is not high enough, and the second father is not annoying her.
But royal affairs are always uncertain, and what she once thought would not finally become a thing, and she became a kind princess.
When the decree came down, she was a little surprised in her heart, the eunuch bowed to her and left, leaving her alone in the same place, she was not afraid, this is also the fate of a princess, although she has such a preparation in her heart, but she will still lose her mind when she hears it, after all, she is only a mortal now, and she can't do anything at all.
The concubine who raised her came over to calm her emotions after knowing the news, and the concubine was worried that she would not be able to think about it, because the candidate for this marriage was actually not the most suitable, as for why she was chosen, it was the queen's business.
"Qingqing, don't blame the emperor, you can only blame you for being born in the royal family, you have always been a particularly sensible child, although this palace is not your biological mother, but after ten years, it can be regarded as a bit of mother-daughter love, you marry other parties, this palace is also very reluctant, but this palace is also powerless, I hope you don't blame this palace in the future!"
After the concubine said this, she also saluted her, and she dodged to the side.
"Niangniang's words are serious, and the grace of nurturing Qingqing does not dare to forget, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to come back to Beijing, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to be filial to you in this life, it should be that I ask you for forgiveness."
The concubine Niangniang has nothing bad about her, she is also very concerned about her on weekdays, she knows very well who is good and who is bad in this palace, and her own children may plot against each other, this concubine Niangniang treats her like this, it is already her great blessing.
"This palace is in the harem, glorious and rich, worry-free food and clothing, there is no need for you to be filial at all, this palace only hopes that you will live happily after marrying away from home!"
These words are just her good wishes, and there are few princesses who are close to each other who have a good end, but this time the country is not particularly bad, although the folk customs there are strong, but I heard that the emperor there is a Ming Jun, even if the other party does not like the princess of Heqin, as long as it is not treated badly, it is already the luck of the princess of Heqin.
Xia Qingqing stood up from her seat and gave a big gift to the concubine, and the concubine stood up from her seat and asked the palace maid to help her up.
"Why are you doing that?"
"The grace of nurturing, there is no way to repay, this is gone, this gift is Qingqing's gratitude to Niangniang, I hope Niangniang is safe in the palace, don't miss Qingqing!"
When the concubine left, Xia Qingqing noticed that there were tears in her eyes, this concubine usually looks dignified and graceful, but at this time she is an ordinary woman who is emotional, and she has not spent it in vain in the palace.
She was going to a distant place to make peace with her, and the news soon spread in the palace, and the emperor issued an edict that everyone in and outside the palace knew about it, and within a few days of the holy decree, the people in the palace began to prepare a wedding dress for her.
There are a lot of people in the palace who see the excitement, most of them sympathize with her, and the princess who is close to her is originally a sacrificial object, although she has known it for a long time, but she still feels sympathy, sympathy, and naturally there are schadenfreude.
Xia Qingqing didn't pay attention to these, she stayed in her palace all the time, no different from usual, the difference was that there were a lot of things to disturb her, the wedding dress and everything she had tried, and there were special people to give lessons and explain the things she was going to to the country she was going to, and her time was taken up a lot by these things.
A few days before the departure with the team, she finally stepped out of the gate of the palace, she just wanted to see this imperial city, after all, she had also lived here for nearly twenty years, and if she didn't miss it, it was a bit of a lie, a lie.
The imperial garden in the palace is a place where you can always meet a lot of nobles, and many concubines in the harem like to come to the imperial garden, first, because the scenery here is really good, it can be regarded as the most beautiful place in the entire palace, and the second is naturally because you can meet the holy car here, and the people who come here are nothing more than these two.
Xia Qingqing was obviously the latter, it was not good for her to meet the Holy Driver, and she didn't really want to see her father in this life.
But this world is so strange, the people you don't want to meet will be met by you, and you won't be able to meet what you want to meet.
Xia Qingqing didn't want to see his father in this life, but he happened to meet the holy driver, so he could only salute.
"Get up!" The emperor looked at Xia Qingqing, he couldn't tell what he felt, he naturally knew that Xia Qingqing in front of him was his daughter who was about to marry, he was not particularly impressed by this daughter, as an emperor, he had many children, Xia Qingqing was just one of them, or the more inconspicuous kind.
"Thank you, Father!" Xia Qingqing straightened up and looked at the emperor, there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, and there was no fear.
The emperor looked at Xia Qingqing's eyes, and didn't know why he felt a little weak-hearted, yes, he was empty-hearted, when he realized this, his first thought was to feel unbelievable, because he had never had a weak heart in his life, although he was not a famous monarch through the ages, but during his reign, he was also regarded as a hard-working ruler, benevolent and filial piety, it can be said that he had a clear conscience, he was for the country all his life, and he never felt that there was any weakness.
But at this moment, facing Xia Qingqing's eyes, he actually felt empty-hearted, which was not the emotion he should have.
"You're here to relax?" The emperor took a few steps forward, the person who would make him feel weak-hearted, Xia Qingqing was definitely the first, he knew the approximate reason, probably because Xia Qingqing was about to go to Heqin, he was afraid that he couldn't bear it! After all, she is her own daughter.
However, this little bit of unbearability was not enough to make him change his decision, to be precise, the decision he made would hardly change.
"Back to my father, yes!"
Xia Qingqing felt a little strange, because her father had never been a person of many words, maybe those things were for her.
