Ji Lianmei was a Shanghainese before the crossing, while Liu Guo belonged to a relatively central place in the entire Chinese plate, so the customs and customs were naturally very different from those in the south.

Whether it was a variety of pasta snacks, or jewelry carved with totems and animal skins, Ji Lianmei was delighted, and it was not until it was dark that Ji Lianmei remembered what her father had said. I hurriedly found a groom and hurried in the direction of the palace.

"Zizhi, what do you think your father said would be?"

"Your Majesty's holy will, slaves don't dare to speculate." Zizhi replied cautiously.

"Hey, you ancient people are really boring, the old man of the emperor is not here now, what are you doing so restrainedly."

Zizhi looked around nervously, and after making sure that the groom driving the car didn't hear those words just now, she lowered her voice and said to Ji Lianmei, "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't talk nonsense. ”

In the palace, she is just a lowly servant. Her master made a mistake, and she could not escape punishment as a slave, and she had to be careful everywhere, both for others and for herself.

Ji Lianmei is a newcomer, so she naturally doesn't understand these so-called ways of survival.

The carriage gradually drove into the palace. The Praetorian Guards at the gate of the city saluted her and said, "Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, Your Majesty has summoned you, please come over immediately." But before she could express her opinion, the man beckoned to the groom: "Go to your majesty's bedchamber." ”

The palace is good, but it's too free. Even where she goes, someone is in charge.

Liu Kanggong's palace is much larger than the eldest princess's mansion, and it is also more magnificent, and even the pillars in front of the palace gate are made of pure gold. For some reason, under the warm gold, there is a chilling coolness.

On the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the hall, there is a king who looks down on the world. Below, singing and dancing are leveling, and the sleeves are fluttering; The bell rings and the chime is struck, and the music is melodious. The sandalwood lit on the pedestal was smoky. Deep palace, erosion and drunkenness, the decay of human nature.

Now, will I be one of the warblers?

Ji Lianmei thought to herself, stepped forward into the palace, and saluted Liu Kanggong.

"Father, please see your father."

This is the first time Ji Lianmei has saluted others, and she doesn't know if this way of kneeling is different from the real Ji Lianmei, but it's better to worship than not to worship. What if the emperor is unhappy because of this and asks for her head.

"Lianmei, I came to you today for the marriage with Wu Guo."

"And kiss ......" Ji Lianmei couldn't help but tremble.

Although her history is not very good, she also roughly knows what will happen to princesses who go to other countries to make peace. At worst, he was ostracized by other races, or at worst, he became a victim of the war between the two countries.

Just like Wang Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty who remarried his brother after the death of Rouran Khan, she was pointed out by Qianfu, although she also had all kinds of reluctance, but she could only bear these infamy.

I don't want to be a sinner of history.

Thinking of this, Ji Lianmei said: "Father, I don't want to marry into the Wu Kingdom. ”

"Lianmei, you should know that harmony is not only a marriage between the two countries, but also an expedient measure for the two countries to stop the war and appease the society. Since you were a child, your father has never asked you for anything, but the country of Wu is ready to move, and the father and king of the previous days of war have lost their troops and generals, and if this continues, I am afraid that the people will not be able to live in peace. For the sake of the people and the community, I can only wronged you. The emperor held his forehead and said with a straight face.

Ji Lianmei hesitated.

It is true that there are too many people in the royal family who can't help themselves, because they have the responsibility of caring for the world on their shoulders.

"Okay, father, I promise you, I will go to be a princess."

The reason why she agreed to this family and Yu Gong is that she doesn't want to let the people of a country live a peaceful life because of her willfulness. Now that she has come here, instead of the original Princess Ji Lianmei, she should take on this responsibility.

Yu Private, she is not a real princess's secret, or the less people know, the better. The longer you stay here, the easier it is for people to see the flaws.

Besides, this is the emperor's old man's order, whether she wants it or not, she will definitely marry Wu in the end. Since you should go, you shouldn't have to go, it's better to be refreshed.

Thinking about it left and right like this and leaving is the best choice.

"Very well, in that case, you can go back, about a month later, the envoy will come to visit, you should go back and prepare early."

"Okay." Ji Lianmei got up and wanted to leave, but Zizhi hurriedly grabbed her and reminded in a low voice, "Princess, you forgot again." ”

"Ah, that, father, son-in-law retires" She hurriedly saluted and returned to the princess's mansion accompanied by Zizhi.

"Princess, what's wrong with you lately, you always say things that slaves don't understand, and you forget the etiquette in the palace? Is it because of that incident........" Zizhi asked.

"Hmm...... I've been feeling unwell lately, and I've often said things that I couldn't believe myself, don't worry, in a few days, it should be fine. ”

Ji Lianmei was curious about what Zizhi was referring to, but she restrained her curiosity and prevaricated. Instead of asking too many questions and making many mistakes, it is better to ignore them.

Moreover, even if I told her at this time that I had traveled from the 21st century, I guess she really thought that I was crazy, and I would be wrong. The most important thing now is to find a way back, I don't want to spend my life in this feudal society.

She is not a shrewd person who can see through people's hearts at a glance, and in such a turbulent era, simple people are destined to be played with by others.

The January deadline is fast approaching. The princess's mansion, which is plain on weekdays, is hung with colorful lanterns, and it is very festive.

Compared to the joy outside, Ji Lianmei listlessly carved a deep scratch on the bed board with a stone knife. The deep and shallow scratches are added together, no more, no less, exactly thirty.

It's been a month. In this era when paper was not even invented, it has been a whole month. Ji Lianmei can only count the days with the nicks. In the Liu Kingdom, most of the characters were engraved on bamboo slips, and the font used was seal script. In fact, there is not much difference between the small seal and the current Chinese characters, and most of them can still be read. When Ji Lianmei has nothing to do, she relies on studying these words to pass the time.

"People in this era are really not interesting, and they don't even have romance novels." Ji Lianmei tiredly put down the heavy bamboo slip book.

Just as Ji Lianmei was stretching her waist, Zizhi opened the door and came in, and said to her: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the envoy who greeted her has arrived at the palace, are you.... You can change out of that outfit and go to greet the envoys. ”

Hearing this, she looked down at her clothes.

The clothes that Ji Lianmei is wearing now are all made according to the improvement of Hanfu and Tang costumes, because Liu Guo's tradition is to wear robes and skirts, and the style is old-fashioned and ugly, so she gave full play to her strengths in her previous life and asked the craftsmen to make a few more beautiful clothes to wear on weekdays.

However, on such an important occasion, it is impossible to continue to go your own way.

"Hey, okay, I'll change my clothes then."

At that time, there were no mirrors, so Ji Lianmei didn't know if she looked good in that bright robe, but the hat covered with metal sequins on her head was really heavy, like a big piece of gold.

"Sister, why don't you wear those beautiful clothes today?" A young boy gently pushed the door in, his voice immature.

The person who came was one of Ji Lianmei's brothers, Ji Xia, also, with a pure personality, only 14 years old.

Ji Lianmei met this little guy in the Imperial Garden, when he was pruning flowers and trees like a flower farmer. Ji Lianmei saw that the flowers and plants he cut out were strange and beautiful, so she stepped forward to talk, and she became familiar with this back and forth. At this time, the young man was not angry, and he looked well-behaved and cute.

"It's Xia, my sister is about to meet the envoys of Wu, and it will make people feel strange in those clothes." Ji Reimi smiled and came out to greet her little brother.

"But Sister, I don't think it's strange that you wear that dress beautifully."

What an honest kid.

"Sister, you're going to be a princess and kiss, will I never see you again." Ji Xia grabbed Ji Lianmei's arm with a crying voice.

Ji Lianmei pinched his fleshy little face and said, "No, my sister will definitely come back, and when that time comes, you will come to pick up my sister with colorful auspicious clouds, okay?" ”

"Hmm." The boy obediently agreed.

The young man looked at the woman's distant back and silently clenched his fists. He knew very well that Wu Yue was far away from Liu State, and it was impossible to pose a threat to Liu State, and it was fake to send a princess and a princess, and the real purpose of his father was to unite Wu Yue to annex Lu Song and expand his territory.

Father, you are really ruthless.

The antechamber of the palace banquet.

The singers are dressed in silk and satin, with graceful talents, sometimes lightly soothing their hands, jade sleeves are windy, like fairies and spirits, dancing for the palace banquet. Liu Kanggong sat in the center, and a middle-aged man sat on his right, with a white face, a neat and short mustache, wearing a wide one-color robe, and a polite smile on his face.

Ji Reimi sits on the left, representing the noble royal family.

"Lord Envoy, this is the princess of my country, Ji Lianmei." The emperor smiled and introduced to the envoys.

"The princess is really a sinking fish and a goose, on behalf of the monarch of Wu State, and Prince Yucheng thank you, and I hope that the two countries will have friendly relations and exchange courtesies."

"That's nature, so don't worry about it." Ji Lianmei replied.

After that, Liu Kanggong had been talking with the envoys and ministers, what kind of exchange of gifts and so on, Ji Lianmei was dizzy when she heard it.

She finally couldn't sit still, and secretly leaned down and asked Zizhi beside her: "Hey, girl, where is Wu Yue?" ”

Zizhi looked at her with strange eyes, and replied respectfully: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Wu Yue, it is a rich land near the water, I heard that there is a lot of rain and beautiful scenery, and the environment is much better than ours." ”

Oh? It seems that it is the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

After living in Liu for a while, I realized how rich the areas around Jiangsu and Zhejiang were. The terrain of Liu Guo is steep, the wind and sand are also large, and most of Lang Jun are rough people, and it is more comfortable to live in coastal places.

Thinking of this, Ji Lianmei suddenly longed for this kiss.

Let's see what it was like to grow up before I was born.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your hospitality, after Princess Lianmei marries Wu Yue, I will definitely not treat her badly." and the envoys saluted Liu Kanggong, and this reception banquet was over.

Singing and dancing.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please start packing your bags today and go back to Wuyue with me."

After explaining some things, the envoy returned to the inn and prepared to return to Wuyue with Ji Lianmei in three days.
