Chapter 344: Princess

The princess personally chose a son-in-law, which attracted many people, and even the princes and sons, who had no hope of gaining favor, did everything possible to crowd into the palace to see the princess in real terms.

Given that everyone thought it was a ceremony without suspense, everyone's attention turned to the princess herself for the first time.

Princess Shiguo was just sixteen years old, and when she was exiled to Biyu City with her family, she was still an infant and had no impression of the motherland, but her two brothers and nurse had to proudly tell her almost every day: "You are a princess, and you will marry the king in the future." ”

Influenced by this for many years, the princess is quite proud of her identity, even after witnessing the tragic death of the exiled old queen next door and no one to bury her, and a group of rude swordsmen who have nothing to do with the royal blood surround the Ju Wang's mansion to ask for accounts, she also believes that one day, she will marry the real king.

Returning to her old country, she was even more excited than her second brother who ascended to the throne, so soon after, she was also more disappointed than her second brother.

It turns out that being a princess means losing freedom, becoming a caged bird, and becoming a rare commodity to be sold.

On the way back to China, Prime Minister Yang Dou informed the princess very formally, "When His Royal Highness grows up and will marry the children of the Yang family, I will personally choose the most suitable horse for the princess." ”

The princess, who was more than ten years old, was puzzled, what about the king? Wasn't she going to marry the real king? How could she be appointed to the minister's son? At that time, she did not understand the complexity of power, and even opened her mouth to ask the prime minister questions directly.

She will always remember that the old prime minister laughed uncontrollably, not taking her princess seriously at all, "There are only more than thirty kings in the Western Regions, but there are hundreds of princesses, do you think they will all marry the king? Haha, little girl, soon you will know that it is you who have climbed high to marry the children of the Yang family." ”

Prime Minister Yang Dou was right, she soon learned that the king and the princess were both delicious prey on the huge net of the Yang family, stiff and not dead, just to ensure the freshness of the food.

She didn't even have a chance to see the people of her country, she went straight from the stuffy carriage to a small and cold house, and she couldn't get out of a single step, and even to see Brother Wang, she had to get the approval of the prime minister himself.

She gradually understands that her only duty is to give birth to a son who can inherit the throne for the Yang family when she grows up.

It was from that time that she began to hate the title of princess, which brought bad luck.

Then, when the storm came, she sat in the cramped room, watching coldly, waiting for the wind and rain to swallow her up with an indifferent and detached attitude.

First of all, Kang Guo threatened with force, implying that the princess was none other than the prince of his country, and Yang Dou at that time was still able to be false and wrong, and with a smooth wrist, he blocked the competitors who were inserted into the country.

Next is the Meng family, who took out a thick stack of IOUs and offered the princess a price, "The debt is all forgiven, and there is a dowry of one million taels, the son of the Meng family, the princess can choose whatever she wants." ”

Yang Dou began to show his weak background, and the Yang family, who had only one hand to cover the sky in Shiguo, would also sweat profusely in the face of the housekeeper under the richest man in the Western Regions, and could only perfunctory with a bunch of lies.

Meng's threat was only a brief episode, or an introduction, and immediately after, Jinpeng Fort appeared, the Shangguan family had neither the bloodline of Prince Kang nor the wealth of Meng, and in front of Prime Minister Yang Dou was a killer and secret that could not be refused.

The secret of the king and the prime minister who murdered the eldest prince to death.

No one told the princess about these things, but she had countless hours of alone time, and every scene in Biyu City flashed in her mind many times, and she had already understood the cause of her eldest brother's death long before the suitor of the Shangguan family came to the door.

The treacherous Prime Minister Yang Dou also took the bait, and the assassination he made was tantamount to a child's trick in the eyes of Jinpeng Castle, leaving countless flaws and loopholes, even after many years, it was enough to prove who was behind the scenes at that time.

The princess looked at the prime minister happily, and did not care who she was going to marry, and since the princess's name could be illusory, who could guarantee the authenticity of those kings?

Then, the name of the dragon king suddenly appeared.

The princess had never heard of the title "the head of the dragons and the king of the five peaks", and thought it was ridiculous, and even sounded like a real king as the "Dubu King".

Gradually, the rumors about the dragon king entered the ears of the princess little by little, and the eyeball-devouring Dapeng bird, the demon king who killed countless people, the thousands of rude and barbaric swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, the avengers who were inseparable from Jinpeng Castle, and the princess, who had long had no hope for the future, prayed in front of the Buddha statue in fear not to let herself marry that wicked man.

The Buddha must have heard the princess's prayer, but instead of obeying her wishes, he pushed the dragon king towards her step by step.

The dragon king, who was originally hopeless, turned the tide on the last day and won half of the votes, which was a result that the princess could not have imagined, and it also made her even more afraid of this man.

For the first time in her life, the princess willingly accepted the prime minister's order, "Now the choice is in the hands of His Royal Highness, I don't need to say more, the princess should also understand that choosing the nine young masters of Jinpeng Castle is the most beneficial decision for Shi Guo." ”

She didn't care about the interests of Shi Guo, but she nodded her head busily and agreed, as long as she didn't marry the dragon king with the terrible big bird, she would be willing to choose whoever she chose.

A mysterious woman spoils her newly settled mood.

The woman was sent by the king's bodyguard, who claimed to be Xu Yanwei, and was very good at talking, and soon gained the trust of the princess until she took advantage of the absence of people to come up with a secret letter.

The letter was written by Brother Wang himself, and it was only three short words, "Choose the Dragon King." ”

But the princess ...... "The princess's heart is about to break, and she doesn't know when this violent storm will end."

"The Dragon King is a good man. Xu Yanwei relied on her keen intuition to feel the fear in the princess's heart, so she told the dragon king's past one by one, of course, she knew what to say and what not to say.

"Dragon King...... Is that really what you say?" the princess was confused, and the dragon king was like a vague multifaceted god, constantly spinning, showing a diametrically opposed appearance.

"The Dragon King is a good man. Xu Yanwei nodded solemnly, starting with this sentence and ending with this sentence, and then, she wanted to talk about the Nine Young Masters of Jinpeng Castle.

For Shangguan Fei, Xu Yanwei is very clear, and he knows more about the Dragon King than he does, "He is a sinister person, timid as a mouse, you know when you see him, his eyes are abnormal, and besides, he has a bad leg, even if these are not important, you should know that he ...... Like men. ”

The princess didn't understand the last sentence, and after Xu Yanwei explained in a roundabout way, she couldn't believe her ears, "How is this possible?"

"Ah, Your Pure Highness. Xu Yan put his arm around the princess's shoulders slightly, envying her from the bottom of her heart for being so simple, "This world is far more complicated and dirty than you think, just because I have seen too many hypocritical men, I will know that the dragon king is a good person." ”

The princess was suspicious, the dragon king had already become a nightmare entrenched in her heart, and it could not be easily dispelled with a few words, "That Dapeng bird, eat it...... Is it also a deceptive rumor?"

Xu Yanwei was a little embarrassed, regretting that she didn't come to see the princess earlier, this secluded girl had too much imagination and had already shaped the dragon king into a mythical demon, "Well, it's real, but it has flown away, and it hasn't appeared for a long time." ”

The princess's heart trembled, and tears rolled in her eyes, but she held back, and said with a resolute and righteous attitude: "Well, as long as I can keep my brother's throne, he can marry me to whomever I want." ”

Xu Yanwei was easily infected, and tears fell down her eyes, "It's fate, the gods always use men to punish women." ”

The only thing that makes the princess happy is that she can humiliate Prime Minister Yang Dou in front of everyone and avenge her imprisonment over the years.

But she couldn't help but think, if only there was a choice, why did God arrange such a narrow path for her, and it was so difficult to even turn her fingers?

Therefore, when the assassin appeared, there was only a flash of fear in her heart, and then, the boulder that had been pressing on her heart for many years shattered, and the princess even smiled at the stab in the chest.

......

At noon, the palace chamber was crowded with people, and many men who were not qualified to propose marriage also mixed in through various channels, and it was said that this would be the first and most likely last appearance of Princess Shiguo.

There was a small dispute in the hall, and several people who voted for the Dragon King were surrounding Prince Loulan, asking for the reward agreed in advance.

Prince Loulan, who gave up the hot potato, was already very sober at this time, and he explained in a low voice, "You have to ask the Dragon King for money, the vote is for him, right? What does it have to do with me?"

"But ......" But no one dared to look for the Dragon King, "No, it was you who made the promise at the beginning, and on the last day, it was you who asked us to switch to the Dragon King, so we naturally want to find you, do you collude with the Dragon King and want to deceive people and repay the debt?"

Beads of sweat began to ooze from Prince Loulan's forehead, and he cursed the envoy of the Central Plains thousands of times in his heart, it was because Lin Tao escaped from the battle that he would bring him so much trouble.

On the other side of the hall, Shangguan Fei whispered to the envoy of the North Court, then stood up, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the Dragon King.

In the crowded council room, only the dragon king was near the crowd.

"Just wait for the princess to announce the results. Shangguan Fei showed a tacit smile, he had promised the Dragon King that he had no intention of inheriting the throne of Shi while becoming a concubine.

Gu Shenwei nodded slightly, his heart was bright, Shangguan Fei gave him a false promise, in the conference hall, there were clearly several Jinpeng killers, Gu Shenwei could smell them even if he closed his eyes.

The only thing Gu Shenwei didn't know was whether these killers wanted to protect Shangguan Fei or kill him and then frame him for the Dragon King.
