As soon as Liqiu left the Queen's Embroidered Spring Palace, a middle-aged man in a black robe walked in from outside the Embroidered Spring Palace. This person is none other than the eldest princess Liqiu's father, King Qi.

Seeing the king of Qi walking in, the queen hurriedly greeted him.

The first thing King Qi said when he walked into the Xiuchun Palace was to ask, "How is it?" Qiu'er, did she agree?"

The queen waved her hand and sighed and said, "No, she doesn't agree to the marriage, and she doesn't want to marry Yingzheng, the new king of Qin. ”

King Qi looked at the queen and said slowly: "Otherwise, I think it's okay to let Qiu'er marry this matter, I am reluctant to let Qiu'er marry to the Qin State alone, and I will refuse Zhao Ji tomorrow." ”

When the queen heard King Qi say this, she smiled bitterly and shook her head and persuaded: "Zhao Ji is not the kind of person with a big heart, she is now the queen mother of Qiang Qin, and she has come thousands of miles for the marriage between Qin and Qi, if we reject her now and let her lose face, with Zhao Ji's temper and measure, the iron cavalry of Qin will soon appear on the border of my Qi country, and the peace of Qi and Qin for many years will be replaced by war and soldiers, can our Qi country block the anger of her Zhao Ji and Qin State?

Hearing this, King Qi frowned and muttered, "Ah, this?" King Qi did not fail to consider the possible situation in the queen's words, but he really couldn't bear to watch his most beloved eldest princess Liqiu being wronged in the Qin State.

"King, Qiu'er is my flesh and blood, and my love for her is not weaker than that of the king. But now letting Qiu'er go to the Qin State to marry is our best choice at the moment. The queen spoke again.

"But, Qiu'er, will she hate me?" King Qi sighed, his tone loosened a lot, obviously moved by the queen's words.

"Don't worry, Qiu'er, she is a measured person. After pondering for a while, the queen continued to speak: "This time Qiu'er went to Xianyang to marry Qin Wang Yingzheng is not only a marriage between Qin and Qi, which can make Qi stable for at least decades, and Qin Wang Yingzheng is not a mediocre person, Qiu'er is the eldest princess of Qi State, he knows how to weigh the pros and cons and treat our Qiu'er well." ”

Seeing that King Qi was still silent, the queen sighed and said: "If the king is afraid of Qiu'er's resentment, then I will be this bad person, the king doesn't have to come forward, I will handle the marriage between Qiu'er and King Qin." ”

In fact, there is one more thing in the queen's heart that has not been said, that is, she knows that King Yingzheng of Qin has no woman by her side now, Liqiu married Yingzheng as the eldest princess of Qi, and the position of Queen Qin with Liqiu's intelligence must be her daughter Liqiu.

King Qi let out a long sigh, slowly closed his eyes, and said, "Then it's hard for you, I hope Qiu'er can understand our good intentions." ”

A month later, Zhao Ji, the empress dowager of Qin, sent a delegation from Qi to Linzi, the capital of Qi, along with a delegation sent by Qi to the coalition army.

Liqiu sat in the carriage like ashes, looking out of the carriage with empty eyes.

She had to go to Liqiu for this marriage, and the queen had already taken out the safety of Qi to persuade her, and she Liqiu, as the eldest princess of Qi, had no reason or could not find any excuse to flee from this marriage.

In the end, she compromised with Qiu, took a cart of dowry, and sat in a carriage to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

In the past month, Liqiu has never seen his father, King Qi, and the loss in his heart is greater than the disappointment, and Liqiu doesn't know what is going on. It is rare that in the eyes of her father, is her eldest princess Liqiu just a bargaining chip that can keep the stability of Qi State, and a tool to marry Qiang Qin?

Liqiu doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know, the truth is often a terrible despair.

The convoy of the marriage followed the convoy of the envoy of the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of the Qin State, out of the city gate of Linzi, the capital of the Qi State, and the carriage had just left the city gate, and Liqiu heard the undulating flute, which was full of sadness and reluctance to part.

"Stop. Liqiu shouted loudly to stop the carriage, because the sound of the flute was not clear to others, but Liqiu himself could not be clearer, it was clearly the sound of the jade flute made by his father.

The carriage stopped, Liqiu stepped out of the carriage with the help of the maidservant, and when he looked up, tears flowed uncontrollably from his pretty face.

I saw a person standing under the Qi character flag at the highest point on the city, trying to play a green jade flute, and the piper was not his father King Qi who had not seen him for a month?

King Qi saw Liqiu get out of the carriage on the city, a muddy tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye, how could the king cry easily when he was alone and held the power of a country, but now there were no guards around, and King Qi simply let the tears flow.

King Qi slowly raised the jade flute and waved it towards Liqiu's side and shouted: "Qiu'er, you loved this jade flute the most when you were a child, and I will give it to you today." After saying that, King Qi walked down, handed the jade flute to the guards beside him, and asked him to send the jade flute to Liqiu.

Soon, the jade flute was sent to Liqiu.

Liqiu picked it up and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was the jade flute he had seen when he was a child.

Liqiu knew that this was the most beloved treasure of his father, King Qi, because this green jade flute was made by King Qi himself.

There are many people in the Seven Kingdoms who like music and etiquette, but most of the musical instruments in the world are bronze and pottery stone, which are more than heavy and not crisp enough. This King of Qi is also an interesting person, he found that the beautiful jade is crisp and pleasant, so he made this green jade horizontal flute according to the common copper flute style. When I was a child, I saw King Qi playing with him and liked it very much, but I didn't expect King Qi to remember it.

Suddenly, Liqiu noticed that there were two small words engraved on the jade flute, and after a careful look, Liqiu's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Those two words have been carved for some years, and King Qi's tricks are a little blurry, but Liqiu still recognizes them at a glance.

Because it was her own name engraved on it, Liqiu.

After a while, the guard saw that Princess Liqiu's mood had calmed down a little before saying, "King Qi asked me to bring a message to the eldest princess, come back often, he and the queen will miss you." ”

Liqiu nodded, took the green jade flute and returned to the carriage to greet Mite, "Let's go." ”

After seeing the King of Qi, Liqiu's mood was much better, and the marriage team followed the Qin delegation on the official road for a few days. Zhao Ji, the empress dowager of Qin, came to see Liqiu a few times, and Liqiu could see that Zhao Ji was sincerely satisfied with herself, but she was not so worried about Qin's trip.

"Eldest princess, there is the Qin Kingdom ahead, and we are about to leave the Qi Kingdom. Mite, who was driving in front, reminded.

Only then did Liqiu really feel the loneliness of leaving his hometown, and he became more and more sad when he looked at the scenery along the way.

I don't know how long it took, but the carriage suddenly stopped, and Liqiu didn't know what was going on, so he asked Mite, who was driving in front of him, "What's wrong?"

The royal hand got out of the carriage and saw that Liqiu asked and hurriedly said: "Eldest princess, please get off, we have entered the Qin State, the official road of the Qin State is much smaller than the official road of our Qi State, we must cut off the axle of the carriage in order to comply with the laws of Great Qin." ”

"Got it. After saying a word back, he was helped out of the carriage.

When I got off the car in autumn, I saw that compared with the beautiful mountains and rivers of Qi State, Qin State had a little more desolation.

"How is it, do you still like it?" Zhao Ji didn't know when he had already stepped out of the carriage from the front and came behind Liqiu.

Liqiu nodded and did not speak.

Zhao Ji gently took Liqiu's hand and said slowly: "Liqiu, don't worry, Qin Guoguo will take good care of you." After speaking, he smiled and continued: "Your husband Yingzheng will also treat you well, and you will be the queen of our Great Qin Kingdom in the future." ”

Liqiu still smiled and didn't speak, his eyes wandered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Ji opened his mouth again and said: "I understand your feelings, don't worry, I guarantee that no one in the Qin Kingdom will dare to bully you." ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Ji added: "Even if it is the king of the Qin State, it can't be." ”

Liqiu replied: "In that case, I will thank the Queen Mother." ”

Zhao Ji patted Liqiu's hand and said angrily: "Silly child, I will be your queen mother in the future." ”

Liqiu nodded obediently, and Zhao Ji happily took off the hosta on her head and gave it to Liqiu as a gift.

After thanking Zhao Ji from Qiu, he took it over and put it away.

Three days later, Liqiu followed Zhao Ji to Xianyang, and was arranged in Xianyang Palace after a grand feast.

In this way, three full months have passed, and the marriage ceremony that Liqiu and Yingzheng should have held a long time ago has not been held, and Liqiu is happy in Xianyang Palace.

Since entering Xianyang Palace for three months, Liqiu has only seen Yingzheng in the hall on the first day, he is wearing a crown to receive him, and Liqiu can feel that Yingzheng in the hall has no interest in his country's face. In the next three months, Liqiu only occasionally saw the canopy on Yingzheng's carriage and his majestic back in the palace.

Liqiu knew that this was just a ridiculous marriage, and that he was just a ridiculous victim.

Zhao Ji often came to see Liqiu, and every time she asked the same question, that is, whether Yingzheng had been here, and Liqiu shook her head with a smile every time.

Yes, Yingzheng has never been here, and he has never been here in Liqiu once.

After three months, Zhao Ji couldn't sit still anymore, and Liqiu heard the palace guards around him say that Zhao Ji was angry above the main hall.

At night, Liqiu flipped through the books that Zhao Ji sent to him to relieve his boredom.

The door was pushed open, and Li Qiu was startled at first, but when he looked up, he saw that it was him.

That's right, the person who came was Yingzheng, but Yingzheng at this time was full of alcohol.

"Are you the eldest princess of Qi Liqiu?" Ying Zheng looked at Liqiu gloomily.

It was the first time for Liqiu to see Yingzheng so closely, he was indeed tall and majestic, his fair face was full of angular coldness, his slanted sword eyebrows were handsome, his nose was high, and his thin lips all showed his affection as an emperor. What made Liqiu panic the most was Yingzheng's deep eyes, who looked at him coldly and arrogantly, but domineeringly.

"Yes. Liqiu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Go back, you, I don't like it. Ying Zheng said in a low voice.

Li Qiu took a step towards Yingzheng's side and said without showing weakness: "I only came to marry Qi and Qin, as for whether you like it or not." ”

Liqiu paused and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Ying Zheng sneered twice when he heard Liqiu say this: "Okay, you're very good." ”

"It's late, if there is nothing else, please ask King Qin to go back, and you will have to rest in autumn. "Liqiu opened his mouth and asked Yingzheng to leave.

Ying Zheng pulled Liqiu over and slowly leaned down to look at Liqiu's face.

Liqiu struggled to break free of Yingzheng's hand, but not only did he not break away, but he angered the drunken Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng kissed Liqiu's lips domineeringly and hugged Liqiu into his arms.

"Don't you want me to do this? Ying Zheng violently tore off Liqiu's long skirt, Liqiu's snow-white skin was exposed, and Yingzheng rudely put her on the bed.

"No, please. Liqiu begged, crying in despair.

Ying Zheng didn't feel sorry for Liqiu's tears at all.

What makes Liqiu sad the most is that even though it is she who is obviously lying under Ying Zheng, the name that Ying Zheng is shouting is Shan Ziyan.

Ying Zheng woke up early the next morning, saw the bed full of scars, looked at his Liqiu and the red on the bed in despair and fear, turned his back to Liqiu and said: "Three days later, I will marry you in Xianyang Palace, and you and I will not owe each other after that." ”
