The next day, in front of my father's Zhonghe Palace...

"Sixth princess, the old slave has already passed for you, and at this time, the emperor has just finished discussing with the eight ministers, and is passing you in!"

Father-in-law Zhao, an old man who had been serving by my father's side for many years, hurriedly walked towards me with small steps, and waited until a slightly wrinkled face beside me lowered his salute, so that I could only see his smooth head.

And Zhao Gonggong is a celebrity next to my father, and the age he has been with my father is older than mine, so even if he treats me politely, I naturally can't lose my identity.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

So I bowed my body to show my respect, but I didn't expect Zhao's father-in-law to lower his head.

Seeing this, I was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately understood in my heart that Zhao Gonggong was like a smart person, no wonder the palace people in the palace and the officials in the court were all polite to Zhao Gonggong.

"Princess, this way, please..."

Gonggong Zhao stretched out his hand to guide me, and I simply stopped being polite, just nodded, and let him take me all the way to the main hall of the Zhonghe Palace.

"The son visits his father."

In the main hall, my father was holding a scroll in his hand and looked at it carefully, and when he saw me come in and salute, he put it down.

"Why did you think of coming to see your father today?"

Seeing my father's surprised appearance, I pretended to be relaxed and stepped forward to grind for my father, while probing, "Look at what you said, can't my son come to see you if he's fine?" ”

Father was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, "I heard you right, right? In the past, you little girl took the initiative to come to me, either she had an awkward relationship with the prince, crying and making trouble, and she refused to stop until I beat the prince's nose and swollen face, or just to be lazy, lying that her whole body was in pain, and she refused to go to school, how... Is the sun coming out in the west today? ”

It's all bad memories...

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I smiled, not denying that what my father said was true, but these old things about Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains, my father still remembered them, but I didn't know that it was a big stain on my life.

But my eyes fell on my father's smiling face, and I thought about it, this is not a good thing, as long as I make my father happy first, then I will be considered successful for the most part!

For the sake of what I am going to say next, I resolutely chose to pat myself on the back first, obey my father's mood, and then take the opportunity to get my father to agree with my decision.

So, I grinned, "My father is really discerning, and his heart is as careful as a hair, I don't remember those things back then, my father is still vivid, Zhongli has a father and the emperor will definitely be able to be evergreen and prosperous forever." ”

"Hehe..."

When the sycophant was used, my father smiled more heartily, and my heart suddenly relaxed a little, and I was about to open my mouth to say about refusing to marry in line with the psychology of thinking that I had succeeded halfway, but the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Don't pat yourself on the back and talk about something."

My father ruthlessly threw my sycophants aside, took a sip of the tea that had been cooled for a moment in front of the desk, and even the air seemed to have dropped a little temperature with the herbal tea.

The entire Zhonghe Hall became silent, and the palace maid with her head down seemed to be surprised by her father, who turned his face faster than a book.

I beat the drum in my heart, because I couldn't see my father's true joy and anger on my face at all, could it be... Did he guess what I was trying to do?

As soon as my back was cold, my father suddenly put the teacup back on the table, and with a bang, I was so frightened that I almost knelt down to admit my mistake.

"Father, my sons came here today to see my father, and secondly..."

"For what?"

The father's voice was slow, but it seemed very majestic, at least he couldn't hear the peaceful meaning of his father.

"For..."

My heart thumped, and I struggled to raise my eyes to see my father's appearance.

I had made up my mind before I came, but when I was about to say it, my heart was full of complexity and nervousness, and I even wondered if I should still say it.

Seeing that I wanted to speak and stopped, my father got up and walked towards me with his hands behind his back and asked, "What's wrong, Su'er?" If you have anything to say to your father, just say it. ”

"Father..."I cautiously glanced at my father, who was a little speculative at this time, and I didn't care about it as soon as I thought about it left and right, "My son does have something to ask my father." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"Father, I heard Aunt Yingtong mention that my father planned to marry my son to Prince Xianyu, but is there such a thing?"

Hearing me say this, my father's face suddenly softened, "What should I do!" Is that for this? I remember, don't you like Prince Xianyu? So I plan to let Prince Xianyu be my son-in-law. ”

"Father," I blushed, ashamed and annoyed, "the son is unwilling to marry Prince Xianyu." ”

With that, I knelt down and bowed my head and said, "Please dispel this idea, father." ”

"What? Shy? "My father raised his eyebrows, and I reacted like this because of my thin skin, "My Princess Su Xue has really grown up, and she still knows how shy she is when she marries Ruyi Langjun." ”

"Father, the son is serious! The son was unwilling to marry Prince Xianyu, so he begged his father to take back his fate! ”

"Seriously..."The father's originally softened complexion instantly froze, and his usually kind face gradually became gloomy, "Su'er, are you joking with your father?" ”

I didn't dare to look up, but repeated what I had just said, "The son begs my father to take back his order. ”

"You..."

The father was finally angry, and walked back and forth around the same place before saying, "It's just nonsense!" Do you know what you're talking about right now? I have already discussed this matter with Prince Xianyu, and Prince Xianyu has also agreed to this marriage, I originally planned to wait for only one good day to issue the edict, now you say that you will not agree to this marriage, do you want to make your father the laughing stock of the two countries? ”

"But," I straightened up and looked at my father, whose face was rather ugly, "Erchen really doesn't want to stay with someone he doesn't love for the rest of his life, like that... Erchen might as well become a nun. ”

"Presumptuous! You have spoken such a great rebellious thing. ”

My father scolded angrily, raised his hand and made a gesture to fight, I immediately closed my eyes, thinking that I was born to my father anyway, and I went with me after a beating.

But the slap didn't fall for a long time.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that my father was trembling with anger, and he was glaring at me with hatred.

Seeing this situation, the good man Zhao Gonggong served a cup of ginseng tea in a slippery manner, and his father, who thought that he would be a little angry after drinking tea, simply smashed the teacup in Zhao Gonggong's hand.

"Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, and I have always only listened to the words of my parents, and you can say such disobedient words today, I think I spoil you too much. I don't take care of you anymore, I'm afraid I will really have no shame to see your mother in the future. ”

After his father said, he turned to the door and said, "Come on, take the sixth princess down and lock her up, and no one is allowed to let her out without my order." ”

"Father!"

I still wanted to theorize, but I was held down by the Royal Foresters who were surrounding me without paying attention.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gonggong Zhao hurriedly came over and whispered to me, "Princess, the emperor is angry at this time, but don't anger Long Yan again." ”

That's right, at this time, my father was already angry, and it would be self-defeating if I continued to talk about it.

I glanced at my father, who had turned his back, and finally returned to Huayin Hall with some unwillingness accompanied by Gonggong Zhao.

"Princess, forgive the old slave for talking too much, the most taboo thing about the marriage between these two countries is to go back on their word, and what you said today may put the emperor and even the entire Zhongli in a dilemma."

In front of the gate of Huayin Palace, Zhao Gonggong bowed his head and still looked very respectful to me.

And I actually didn't think much of his words, and even got a little angry, "I am dignified and leave the country rich and the people strong, whether it is Wu or Xianyu, why do we need to rely on peace to keep one side of peace?" ”

Gonggong Zhao's face became more and more solemn, and it took a long time to take out a yellowed old map from his cuff and present it to me, "Princess, this is a map of the geographical distribution of the countries near Zhongli, which was ordered by the emperor to be taken from me, and it has not yet been presented to the emperor, you can take a look." ”

Geographical distribution map? I took the yellowed map in Zhao's father-in-law's hand suspiciously, and spread it out to take a look...

My Zhongli country is located in the southeast and is rich in products, and the country of Wu, which has a vast land and dense population on the left, and Xianyu with a strong army on the right.

In terms of military deployment, if you compare it in this way, Wu has a large land area and a large population, which is undoubtedly the best place to provide troops and materials.

Let's talk about Xianyu, although the land area of Xianyu is not as good as that of Wu, their military ability can be called a stroke of genius, plus Xianyu's current general who protects the country is a military wizard, but at the age of twenty, he is already a first-class member who has fought on the battlefield, killed the enemy and made countless contributions.

On the other hand, although our Zhongli Kingdom is rich in products and the people are happy and healthy, it is only rich in products and happy and healthy.

It's just that the long-term comfort has long made Zhongli's people lose their fighting spirit, and how can a country without fighting spirit stand in the midst of a strong country.

I sighed lightly, to be honest, I really can't agree with my father's way of enduring humiliation and sending the princess and his relatives in order to seek peace.

After all, it's not a long-term solution, walking on the edge of danger, if the powerful country is willing, it will accept the princess, and then divide Zhongli, so what?

At this time, Zhongli is just a piece of fat that can be swallowed at any time, and what ambitious king will let go of the territory at his fingertips?

The reason why they didn't do it now was just because they were afraid of those opponents who were also eyeing Zhongli. Therefore, the foundation of the country still has to raise soldiers and accumulate strength!

I didn't want to think about it anymore, I just felt a little pain in my head.

"Father-in-law Zhao," I handed back the atlas in my hand to him, "Youlao told my father that Su Xue is unwilling to marry Xianyu, and I will stay in Huayin Hall these days, please don't worry too much about my father." ”

"This..."Zhao Gonggong looked at the album in his hand and looked at me again.

And I stopped talking, just turned around and went back to the Huayin Palace.

Yin Linxi, I will never compromise with anyone... Including you!
