Chapter Ninety-Nine: Princess Bell
The Great Zhou Imperial Palace is towering and majestic, and the moat that once reflected the willows and the moon and was full of flowers was whipped wantonly by the thunderstorm at this time.
On weekdays, the palace complex, which looks like a peaceful city, was enveloped in the pouring rain and turned into a city of fog and rain. In this city within a city, the royal palace has always been heavily forbidden and guarded by the Iron Armor Royal Forest.
Above the court, unlike the heavy rain outside, it was quiet.
Wang Shangjiahai has held the highest position in the Great Zhou for nearly eight years...... He is heroic and majestic, with a tiger beard and cypress beard, but he has a kind of imperial demeanor that is not angry and self-imposing.
He is more diligent than his younger brother, the former Wang Yixin, and he gets up every day when the rooster crows, and he has every opportunity. Since the abolition of Yixin, he has been working hard to achieve the unfinished unification of his father.
Facing the daily newspaper presented by the Ministry of Rites, when he read "The sheep wanders idly on the street, and the horse steps on the trouble for fun", a trace of an extremely ugly look appeared on Jiahai's face.
The sound of giggling penetrated the hall, and before anyone arrived, the laughter was heard first.
"Fatherβ" A beautiful voice like a wind chime was called even more pleasant by the sound of the rain.
This is Princess Taijing arrived.
No, she prefers to be called Princess Ringbell, she is the only daughter of Jiahai and the only relative in this world.
Ignoring the muddy rain boots under her feet, Princess Bell jumped into the sacred hall, and suddenly remembered the necessary etiquette, so she suddenly stopped her steps and almost fell.
Princess Bell stood up and solemnly bowed to her father.
Jiahai bent down, pinched Princess Ringbell's nose, and said, "What, I heard that you sneaked out of the palace today to catch the excitement of the Spring Festival Dojo?"
Princess Ringing's big eyes rolled slightly, and she said, "Father doesn't know, that old-fashioned immortal crane trick can really win people's hearts, and it is a scene of thousands of believers praising together. Erchen is really an eye-opener today. Father, you should really go and see the sincerity of the people of the Great Zhou.
"Didn't you say that this morning my father wanted to tell his sons about our three emperors and five emperors? I rushed back in such a hurry, but I couldn't eat the holy fruit distributed by the altar. Princess Bell said with some regret.
Jiahai looked at his nine-year-old naughty daughter with a smile, pointed to the Taishi chair opposite, and asked Princess Bell to sit down.
He said, "I have always asked myself why I have summoned you to listen to the lectures, and it is not because you are as stubborn as a mud monkey that I have to take you and pour some meditation soup to get rid of your delusion. β
Princess Bell put her hands behind her back, shook her head and said aloud: "The last time I talked about ancient times, the uncivilized human race was hungry, and it was worth the demons and ghosts, and the duckweed of life was like sending it. Suddenly, the Human Emperor was bornβ"
"Hehe," Jiahai laughed so hard that his beard trembled, "Is this the new apprentice of Mr. Storyteller in the city?"
Princess Ringing ignored her father's jokes and continued to tell the story clearly: "Hongjun creates gossip, Shennong tastes herbs, Suiren drills fire, and Cangjie makes big characters." β
Jiahai asked: "Then I want to ask you, heaven, there are gods and Buddhas in the heavens, and there are earths, and there are Lingyin and Netherworld, so where do you go when you are born as a human being?"
Princess Bell straightened her chest, as if this posture would make her more manly, and said, "When the child's mother was alive, she sighed: 'What is life like, the world is a sand gull. It's a pity that my mother is dying, and I can't expect to be married by my father. My father recognized me as a ploppy child, the child lacked royal education, and was young and frivolous, but because of this, he gave birth to pride, and the child thought: life is a hero, and death is also a ghost. β
How do Jiahai look at how he likes this girl, although she complains in front of herself, is wise, and talks to herself.
"Life is as short as a gnat, the ancients said: 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.'" The child thinks, "If you come, you will fight." If it is dead, it will not be returned. There is no such thing as causal punishment and reincarnation. β
Jiahai listened to his daughter's imposing words and was noncommittal. There was neither a nod of yes nor a correction.
Princess Ringing said: "The child is not talented, I have read some books, and I have also learned the noise of the old gentlemen every day, and I think in private that I can't be inconsistent." The world is complicated and complicated, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is full of dangers, with occasional mutations...... It is not possible to move according to my thoughts and virtues, even so, we should follow the trend to help the common people, rather than go against the world and do the curse. β
Jiahai didn't expect his daughter to be so young, so she liked to "discuss things", if she was a man, her throne could be entrusted. It's a pity, it's a pity.
Seeing that her father was speaking freely about her, Princess Bell did not feel offended by the north, so she continued: "All hereditary or Zen concessions must be combined with public opinion, and will eventually see the result of the resistance and balance of the forces of the world, and cannot be covered with one mind. β
Jiahai sneered, thinking to himself, little girl, are you instructing me, or are you alluding to me taking the throne.
Jiahai asked: "Do you want to fight in the north of the ancestor Jizi back then, exorcise ghosts, and build the Great Wall...... The struggle for the rights of the popes and the dynasty has never stopped, then, according to the princess's wishes, it should not be to eradicate the sectarian sect and establish the emperor alone, but to contend, let all things grow, and the warring states are disputed?"
Princess Ringing frowned, thought about it a few times, and replied: "At the time of the ancestors, wars were frequent, and the people were not able to make a living, but they had a wild and long-term heritage, and the reckless pride of public opinion. It has to be said that it is a majestic era that stands for future generations and lays the foundation for future generations.
"The child thinks that although the imperial power is high, he should be cautious and arrogant and avoid loneliness, take it as his responsibility to accept all rivers and rivers and contend, and work together with the people in the world, after all, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. β
"Well said!" Jiahai nodded, no longer worrying that this praise would cause the little girl to her tail proudly, and said, "Then, let's talk about this wolf smoke today, how about it?"
Princess Bell shook her head and said, "Wait, father, the child wants a hairpin." β
Jiahai asked puzzledly, "What is that doing?"
Princess Ringing said: "Erchen often sits deeply and frowns, and he has long known the truth of 'it's been an hour, and it may not be good'. Every day in the deep palace compound of this palace, the four corners look at the sky, the child has the heart of the world, but he can only peep into the leopard, and he feels that he is really pretending.
"It's better to be like this," Princess Bell rushed to her father's side with a wicked smile, and Jiahai pretended not to find her trick, and Bell pleaded: "Please let your father return to the mountain, and give the child a hairpin charm, so that he can walk in the world safely from now on, it is better than this person who does not enter the gate in the deep palace, and who does not know how to embroider and has to embroider......"
As she spoke, the princess peeked at her father, and when she saw that she was not angry, she continued to speak boldly, "...... No, if you can suffocate the child, sooner or later, you will have to go home......
Jiahai was shocked, blaming himself for being too eager for Jackie Chan, but he forgot the child's playful temperament.
He pondered for a moment and said three good words in a row: "Good." Good. Father not only gave you a hairpin charm that is rampant in the world, but also invited a master of martial arts to read and travel with you, don't you think it's good?"
Before he could finish speaking, Princess Bell had already put her arms around her father's neck, her feet hanging in the air, and she was beating for a long time.
Princess Bell giggled, squinted at her father, and said coquettishly: "If my father allows me to walk the world, and visit the Southern Barbarian Country, the Ghost Fang Country, and the End Kingdom, as well as the hereditary land of the Hundred Families, and the Holy Sect Temple, it will really be a child to 'read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles' and practice it physically!"
"Duββ, child, don't you want to run away!" Jiahai feigned anger.
