"Princess, you said how pitiful the son of Yinglin is, at a young age, my father is... Hey..."

Coming out of the temple, Momoshin sighed while supporting me.

In fact, my heart is also very complicated, thinking back to that child...

The moment I held his hand just now, I could clearly see in his big watery eyes that a little hatred that did not match his age was growing wantonly.

After going through that human purgatory in Fengcheng, I understand... It was a hatred that went deep into the marrow.

Although I feel sorry for this little doll, there is nothing I can do but swear in front of him to swear that I will kill the enemy.

Just because this is human nature, just imagine the pain of losing a loved one, it is extremely heartbreaking, ordinary people can't bear it, let alone such a child who has been pampered by his parents since he was a child, he has never left his father a step, and now how can he bear it and his father forever.

In comparison, my pain is insignificant, after losing the prince's brother, my father, the princess and sister-in-law, Yinglin... Which of them doesn't suffer more than me?

In addition, now that it is the time of Zhongli's great turmoil, the wolf son Wu State plundered our city and slaughtered my people, and the surrounding countries are even more eyeing Zhongli, eager to take advantage of the war launched by Wu State to take the opportunity to carve up a piece of the soup.

In such a terrible situation, the most important thing I should do is not to dwell in grief all day, I should cheer up... For Zhongli, for his father and the prince's brother...

I have to pull myself together!

When I reached the south courtyard gate behind the Taihe Palace, I stopped and was thinking about whether to go in to see my father.

At this time, it happened that the old man next to my father, Zhao Gonggong, came out in a hurry and took a look at me.

He may have seen that I was supported by Tao Xin at this time, and I was dressed in blood-stained armor, and he was stunned for a moment like everyone else, and then his body was short and bowed to me, "Her Royal Highness the princess came down just right, the old slave served the emperor's order, and came to invite the princess to the Taihe Palace, and the emperor has important matters to discuss!" ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite."

I tugged at the corners of my aching mouth, trying not to look so hideous on my face as much as possible.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Gonggong did not stay away from me like others, but like an elderly elder, after holding a cherishing gaze at me, he slowly came over and supported my crumbling body with Taoxin left and right.

"It's inside, the emperor is discussing important matters with several ministers in the court at the moment, the princess will wait here for a while, and the old slave will go and say goodbye."

Outside the Taihe Palace, Zhao Gonggong smiled kindly at me and entered the Taihe Hall under the attention of me and Taoxin.

And I leaned on the shoulder of the peach heart, and the warm winter sun seemed to never end, always stabbing my eyes very painfully.

At this time, Wei Situ's voice came clearly from the Taihe Palace, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that in the current situation, Xian Yu is willing to take the initiative to ask for peace, this is a good opportunity to borrow troops, and the old minister implores the emperor to agree to it for the sake of Zhongli's people and the community." ”

"But..."The father seemed to hesitate for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Now there is no suitable princess in the palace, is it possible to choose one of the daughters of the Zhongqing family?" ”

After that, a few ministers first discussed it one after another, and most of them were unpleasant words.

provoked his father to cough lightly, and finally quieted down.

One of the ministers stood up and said, "It's not that the ministers are reluctant to give up their daughters, it's the glory of the family to be for the country and their relatives, it's just... The emperor must have forgotten that there is indeed a princess Suxue to be married in the palace! ”

"Su'er..." the father hesitated again, and then the court fell silent.

Only then was Gonggong Zhao able to interject and say to his father, "Your Majesty, Princess Suxue is here." ”

"Xuan!"

My father said heavily, but the strange thing is that I heard a lot of helplessness for the monarch from it, even though it was only this word.

Therefore, without waiting for Gonggong Zhao to come and pass the word to me again, I raised my hand and pushed open the door of the Taihe Palace.

Although I don't agree with the idea that Heqin can solve all problems, in the current situation, Heqin borrowing troops is indeed the only way to save Zhongli's people from dire straits.

And I also know Xianyu's purpose, when we Zhongli is about to face the crisis of the country's generality, other countries that usually call us friends have long been afraid of us at this moment, but Xianyu is willing to stand up and take the initiative to make peace.

They have only one purpose, and that is to unite us against the state of Wu.

After all, the truth of the cold lips and teeth is something that every monarch knows by heart, and the state of Wu is the most powerful among the nations at this time, if Zhong Li dies, then... As a neighbor of Zhongli, how long can Xianyu last?

I have a somewhat thin figure that has passed through the ministers, as proud as my father did when he held the ceremony for me.

Although the ministers did not buy my account, they even began to talk privately about me, a princess who had gradually changed from a courtesy to a lawless in their eyes.

But I didn't mind, I just smiled miserably, looking at my father who hadn't seen him for more than a month, but he looked like he was ten years old, and his uncomfortable heart was suffocated.

"Su'er," my father looked at the ministers as if he was scrupling about something, and then looked at me, and finally his eyes softened, and he smiled at me with a pity, "Xianyu sent someone over to say goodbye to Prince Linxi for you, what do you think?" If not, then I will reject them on your behalf. ”

After that, the ministers in the court couldn't hold it back, for fear that if I disagreed with my father, the emperor would send their daughters to be married.

So after they discussed it on their own, they knelt on the ground together, and kowtowed to me and my father and said, "Please put Sheji in the first place, and ask the princess to agree and kiss Xianyu." ”

"You..." finally looked at me helplessly.

At this time, I only felt like a whirlpool on the top of my head, and I was dizzy.

I suddenly recalled the words that Yin Linxi said to me on the day of the Chongjiu Festival, sitting in the middle of the chrysanthemum bushes, with a bright smile..."One day, you will automatically ask to marry me."

Yes, he was right, he was like a peep into time, and he guessed many things behind my back.

Unfortunately, I was still like a fool at the time, thinking that he was more or less sincere to me, but now I think about it, which is ironic.

I laughed self-deprecatingly, and finally raised my tired eyelids and said to my father, "Father, son... Willing... Marry Xianyu. ”

Anyway, as the inexplicable dizziness on the top of my head became more and more severe, I just felt that it was dark in front of my eyes...

"Su'er? Su'er! ”

…

Another long dream...

In my dream, I seemed to return to the time when my mother was still there, I fell into her soft arms and coquettishly enjoyed it, and my mother smiled lovingly and raised her hand to smooth the hair in my ears, everything was so beautiful and warm.

However, the dream did not last long.

I woke up in a violent shaking and opened my eyes... What caught my eye was Momo's slightly tired, round cheeks.

"Peach Heart?"

Overhead, Momoshin, who was dozing off, suddenly snorted when she heard my voice... Look at me in surprise.

"Princess, you're awake!"

I rubbed my aching temples and struggled to get up, but Mommy quickly helped me up.

"Where are we?"

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, my eyes were sore from the warm winter sun, and I put my hand on my eyes, and only then could I see the rolling mountains in the distance.

Taoxin pursed her lips and smiled, and held my hand that lifted the curtain, "Princess, haven't you forgotten, we are going to Xianyu, and you are going to marry Prince Xianyu." ”

"Marry... Prince Xianyu..."I muttered to myself, stunned.

Yes, how did I forget, I obviously promised my father, for the sake of Zhongli and his relatives Xianyu...

I... After all, didn't you escape this fate?

After a long time, I looked down at the bright red wedding dress on my body, and smiled bitterly, "This is not... My mother's wedding dress? ”

"Yes," nodded and said, "The princess has slept for a long time and doesn't know that this is the princess of the imperial mausoleum Aunt Yingtong put on you, saying that Concubine Li is gone, and now the princess is going to marry away from another country, this red wedding dress is a little thought, as the concubine is still by the princess's side... Oh yes, and... Aunt Yingtong also specially instructed the slave maid to tell the princess that marrying into Xianyu is not better than in the palace before, everything needs to be careful, do not be impetuous, if someone dares to harm you, write back to the palace, Aunt Yingtong said that everything is with her. ”

"Aunt Yingtong." I moved to put on this feather yarn wedding dress as red as fire, and it took me a while to remember, and Taoxin said that I had slept for a long time, so I thought...

In the Taihe Palace, when did I agree to make peace?

"Momoxin, how long have I been asleep?"

A bright smile appeared in Taoxin's slightly tired eyes, "Counting today, it's exactly two days and one night... The princess didn't know, when you just fainted, you frightened everyone, but fortunately, the emperor immediately announced the medical officer to come over, saying that the princess is too tired these days, as long as you sleep and wake up. ”

With that said, I did feel a lot lighter when I first woke up.

It's just that when I think of my father, and when I think that I haven't even had time to say goodbye to him, my heart is filled with sourness.

"Father, did you leave me a message?"

I glanced at Taoxin dignifiedly, only to see this little girl holding her cheek with one hand, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head, "The emperor didn't leave any special words, just instructed General Liu and Commander Shen to take care of the princess." ”

Commander Shen? I raised my eyebrows, "Shen Xiao is here too?" ”

Taoxin nodded, "Commander Shen automatically asked for a marriage, and the emperor remembered that he was loyal and knew martial arts, so he was allowed to stay with the princess to protect him in the future, but I heard that he was punished with a soldering iron for some things, and he still had injuries on his body..."

"Hurt?" Twisting my eyebrows, I raised my hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, and Shen Xiao happened to be riding a horse in front of the carriage at this time, and his slightly emaciated back looked particularly depressed in the warm winter sun.

Perhaps sensing my gaze, Shen Xiao looked back and smiled at me, with a faint sense of desolation on his peerless face.

"Princess, it's windy outside."

It wasn't until Taoxin put on a coat for me that I put down the curtain and said with a wry smile, "This battle is much more shabby than when the Third Emperor Sister and the Fifth Emperor Sister were pro-Wu Guo." ”

Taoxin blinked, thinking that I was disgusted that the team to send off the relatives was not strong enough, and pinched his fingers and said, "The emperor said that this marriage is a secret, in order to protect the princess from being discovered by the people of Wu, so all the red tape was omitted, and the princess was just given the title of Yunshen." But the dowry was given a lot, including 10,000 gold and silver, 200 silk and cloth, and two boxes of various jewelry, which was more than twice as much as when the third and fifth princesses were married. ”

Seeing that she finished speaking with a radiant face, I smiled awkwardly and didn't really care, in fact, these things outside my body didn't have much practical use for me.

Now I just pray that on the way to Xianyu, there will be no accidents, but I hope that the journey will be smooth!
