The nine princesses of the East Palace

I waited for another two hours, but A'Du still didn't come.But I vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes, and it seemed that many people came. I thought something was wrong, my father must have sent someone to arrest me, I quickly jumped on the little red horse, and was about to run, but those soldiers would soon I surrounded.

"Princess, come back with us." The leader said.

I didn't make a sound, I finally ran out, and I'm not stupid, so I wouldn't agree.

"If you don't go with us, it's equivalent to killing us, because if you can't bring you back, the king will condemn us for dereliction of duty and kill our heads." They said again.

I was stunned, they were right, if I didn't go with them, I would hurt them, but I really don't want to marry...

How to do how to do?

Why isn't A'Du coming?

"Princess, it's getting dark... If you encounter robbers when it's late..."

"Okay, okay, what's the rush, I'll go with you." Anyway, if A'Du didn't come, he couldn't leave, so I patted the little red horse, and the little red horse roared and ran ahead of them.

I went back to the Xizhou bedroom. It turned out that A'Du didn't want to look for me. She was made to look at her by Dad. I don't know where Dad got the news that I was going to escape. That's it. He must be on guard against me. If I try to sneak out again, it will be very troublesome.

Sure enough, Dad didn't even let me see A'Du, and even nailed up my doors and windows, so I could only stay in the house all day, but it suffocated me to death.

I was idle and bored, so I took out the cloth strip left by that person that day and read it several times, but I still couldn't understand the meaning of it.

At this time, Dad suddenly sent someone over, explaining that Madam Yuan wanted to see me and asked me to go.

Empress Mingyuan loved me a lot since I was a child. She was ill during this period, and I haven't seen her for almost half a month. I still missed her, so I quickly tidied up my clothes and followed.

When I arrived, Dad was talking to Mistress Mingyuan, so I stood aside and waited.

"Xiaofeng is here? Sit down quickly." Empress Mingyuan pointed to the stool next to me to sit on.So I sat down.

"Miss Mingyuan, are you feeling better?" I asked.

"It's much better." Madam Mingyuan said, but just after she finished speaking, she started coughing, so father handed over the handkerchief, Madam Mingyuan took the veil, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said to father, it's a bit He wanted to talk to me alone, so Dad went out.

Empress Mingyuan sent the maid again, leaving only her and me in the room.

She knows that I like to eat, so she asked someone to prepare my usual dessert. I don't really have any appetite at the moment, but I didn't take her kindness to heart, so I took a piece of dessert and ate it in small bites.

"Xiaofeng, have you been blaming me?" After a while, Empress Mingyuan asked.

"No, how could it be?"

"Your Majesty said that you have been missing for several days because you didn't want to marry in the N Dynasty, and I proposed the marriage with the N Dynasty. You must be blaming me in your heart." Ming Yuan said, He coughed a few more times.

I didn't know what to say for a while, seeing her coughing uncomfortably, I quickly poured her a glass of water, she took the water and took a few sips.

"Xiaofeng, the crown prince of the N dynasty has already visited me yesterday, do you want to see him? I can help you arrange it." Ming Yuan looked at me and said.

"I...I'd better disappear." I don't want to marry him, so why should I see him.

A smile suddenly appeared on the corners of Empress Mingyuan's mouth, "He is my nephew, he has grown so big in a blink of an eye, and he has also grown very tall, like an adult. When I left Shangjing, he was only a little... . . . how time flies."

From what she said, the prince of the East Palace seems to be only a few years older than me, so he is not a bad old man.

"He is also a poor child. His biological mother has been gone since he was a child, and his father doesn't value him. The only elder brother who loves him left Shangjing several years ago and hasn't come back yet."

"Then he is really pitiful. Compared with him, I am much luckier." My father and mother love me very much, and Ah Weng is also very kind to me, especially Ah Niang and Ah Weng, who always give the best for me.

Mistress Mingyuan said again: "I called you here this time because I wanted you to meet him first. He is calm, gentle and martial. When you meet him, you will definitely like him."

"See him? Is he still in the bedroom?" I was surprised.

"I have already sent someone to invite him to the Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory." Ming Yuan said.

ah!That is to say, that prince is already on his way?Coming soon?

Oh, what should I do?Is it possible that I really want to see him?After meeting, do I have to marry him?

No, no, no, no, even if he comes from a poor background, no one loves him, he is tall, and his literary skills and military skills, it has nothing to do with me.

It was as if there were two villains in my heart, one said it was okay to see each other, and the other said never to see each other, which gave me a bit of a headache.

After all, I didn’t see the prince of the N Dynasty, because Mingyuan’s mother suddenly felt unwell and coughed up blood. Father called the medical officer to see her, and she fell asleep after taking the medicine. Not good to stay here again.

That's fine, I'm just worried that I don't know what to say when I see the prince.

Dad didn't know if he was too worried about the health of Empress Mingyuan, or what, but I didn't ask anyone to take me back to the bedroom, so I walked around, stretching my muscles and bones.As I was walking, I suddenly saw two soldiers in front of me leading a young man to this side. The young man was tall, fair and refined, not as rough as our Xizhou man. His eyebrows were black and dark. Thick, nose is also very straight, looks like finely crafted rough jade.

However, why is it a little familiar?

Oops, he looked over.

Hey, isn't this the tea seller who left without saying goodbye a few days ago?Why is he here?Did you know my identity and come looking for me?

Hmph, if he can't give me a reason for his sudden departure that day that satisfies me, I won't give him a good face.

However, he looks really good-looking, and he still has an air of nobility. Do all the tea dealers in the Central Plains look like him?

He is getting closer and closer to me, should I say hello to him?If he doesn't remember me anymore, then I'm not very shameless.

"Princess." The two soldiers beside him saluted me.

I still couldn't help but ask, "You two, where are you taking this tea dealer?"

"Go see Empress Mingyuan."

"Why did Empress Mingyuan want to meet a tea dealer all of a sudden?" I asked suspiciously.

"Princess, this is..."

"I see, Madam Mingyuan must be homesick and wants to drink tea from the Central Plains, so I ordered you to find him." I said.I think what I said is quite reasonable, it must be like this.

"Princess, he is not a tea dealer, he is..."

"Okay, you don't need to lead the way, I know him, I'll take him to see Mingyuan Empress in a while." I said.

"But, princess..."

Our men in Xizhou always talk when they have something to say. I don't even bother to listen to how the two of them are chattering.I ignored them, grabbed the tea seller and walked forward. After walking for a few steps, I turned back. When I saw that the two soldiers had stopped following, I let go.

As soon as I looked up, I saw this man looking at me, and I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

I heard that people from the Central Plains value the defense of men and women very much. I just held his hand. He doesn't think I'm frivolous, does he?

"Who are you? Why did you leave without saying a word last time." I decided to strike first.
