"Just what?"
Cuizhu wrinkled his face and whispered:
"Princess, this is unreasonable."
"Then go out and let Cuizhen come in . ”
Lianyi didn’t force himself and waved his hand directly.
After hearing this, Cuizhu was shocked, and immediately knelt down in the carriage and said:
"Princess, don't be angry, it was my servant who overstepped her bounds."
"As long as you know, follow my instructions Do as you say, my father knows this.”
Cuizhu, who was kneeling at Lianyi’s feet, immediately exhaled and replied:
“Yes”
"Remember to be natural and don't let anything slip."
"Yes, princess!"
Cuizhu agreed quickly and then stopped talking.
Half an hour later, Lianyi's carriage and entourage arrived at the foot of Panlong Mountain where Huguo Temple is located.
Lianyi was helped out of the carriage by Cuizhu, then put into a soft sedan, and set off towards the Huguo Temple on the top of the mountain.
A gust of breeze blew up, lifting up the gauze curtain of the soft sedan, and Ripple's perfect profile was exposed in front of people, allowing the three Rakshasa men hiding at the foot of the mountain to take a look.
When the gauze curtain fell again, the three of them felt a pity in their hearts. Suddenly they felt that the portrait only captured a third of Princess Anping's charm, and the real person was more beautiful and moving than the portrait.
Rama swallowed and asked in a low voice:
"Sir, do we still want to go to Huguo Temple?"
"Go, why not go? , I just looked at the profile, but I have to look at the face anyway, otherwise how can I send accurate information back?”
Rakshasa stroked his beard and found a very reasonable excuse.
Ross and Rama looked at each other and immediately nodded in agreement. Then the three of them turned around and mingled with the people offering incense and praying, and quickly moved towards the top of the mountain.
Lianyi didn't care about this at all, and it took another half an hour to slowly reach the top of the mountain.
Lianyi took the two palace maids to burn incense, added more money for sesame oil, and begged for a lottery. The lottery was actually received. Then he was satisfied and took the palace ladies to the hibiscus tree behind the temple. Went to enjoy the flowers.
"Princess, this is tea brewed from the mountain spring water of Huguo Temple. Please moisturize your throat first."
Cuizhu served the brewed tea, and Cuizhen took the food box and placed plates of exquisite snacks on the stone table.
Lianyi took a sip of tea, waved her hands with a smile on her face and said:
"You guys should also rest for a while. It’s rare to get out of the palace to breathe. Don’t worry about the etiquette. Just sit down and accompany me. Let’s chat.”
“Yes, Miss Dian!”
The two immediately bowed their knees and sat down on the stone bench.
Lianyi turned the fan in her hand and said with a smile on her pretty face:
"I went to see my mother the day before yesterday. She said that my cousin and I's marriage has basically been decided. She said it in the past two days. I will go and talk to my father.”
“Miss Gong, are you asking for a marriage sign today?”
Cui Zhu answered in time.
“Hmm!”
Lianyi had a smile on her face, with the shyness of a young girl embracing spring.
"I asked for marriage with my cousin, and it was actually signed. This proves that God thinks we are a match made in heaven."
"Miss, please keep your voice down, the matter has not been decided yet. You should not make any noise before getting off, you should be more reserved."
Cuizhen immediately reminded in a low voice, she always felt that the princess today was a little different from the past.
"I know this, and I am just telling you so that you can be happy with me."
Cuizhu on the side looked like he was hesitant to speak.
Lianyi glanced at the other party and said:
"Cuizhu, just say what you want to say, don't look like you are in a hurry to express your gratitude."
"Miss!"
Cui Zhu whispered sheepishly.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, just what you say." Ripple said with a nonchalant expression.
“Miss, I have heard some rumors.”
“What rumors?”
“It is said that Nangong Qing wants to marry you because Your dowry is three cities.”
Cuizhu deliberately lowered his voice for the last four words, but they were clearly heard by the person hiding in another hibiscus tree not far away.
"Cuizhu! You are talking nonsense!"
Lianyi immediately lowered her face, obviously this rumor made her very unhappy.
Cuizhu hurriedly stood up from the stone bench, knelt down and apologized:
"Miss, calm down, I said the wrong thing."
Cuizhen also stood up immediately and knelt at Lianyi's feet.
Lianyi patted the fan on the stone table with a sullen face, and said after a long time:
"Get up, Cuizhu, and tell me carefully the rumors you have heard."
“Yes, Miss!”
The two of them stood up, but did not dare to sit down again. Cuizhu lowered his voice and replied:
"Miss, I heard this from Mrs. Nangong's personal maid.
That day, Mrs. Nangong went to see the Queen and sent all the servants around her out. I just happened to go to the Queen on the order of the princess. The empress was delivering soup and heard them talking quietly behind the rockery. "
"What did they say?"
"They said that Nangong Qing liked the youngest daughter of General Qin's family. They were in love with each other, but because the princess's dowry was too tempting for the Nangong family, they were separated. The head of the Nangong family gave the death order to Princess Nangong Qingshang. "
Lianli looked in disbelief. said:
"How is this possible? When I got along with my cousin, he never mentioned a word."
"Princess, I heard that the Nangong family had all the servants who knew about it for Princess Shang. That person The Miss Qin family was also forced out of the capital by the Nangong family envoys, and her tail was swept cleanly, so there was no way for outsiders to know about it. "
Cuizhu said in a deep voice.
Lianyi clenched her fists and said:
“You mean the queen mother also helped to cover it up?”
"This slave doesn't know."
Cuizhu immediately shook her head and said, even if she had the courage, she would not dare to arrange the queen.
"Okay, I know it. Go back now. I want to ask the queen myself."
Lianyi said with anger on his face.
"Princess, don't be impulsive! If you ask the empress now, the matter will be made clear and there will be no room for change."
Cuizhu knelt down and hugged Lianyi's legs and said.
Lianyi sat down dejectedly, and then said with red eyes:
"I just want to spend the rest of my life with a man who shares my heart. Why is it so difficult? I thought that the man who loves me wholeheartedly But I care about her, and my mother also uses my marriage to plan for the mother clan, am I still her daughter?”
The three Rakshasa people listening in the dark looked at the tearful Ripples, and felt some pity in their hearts. , after all, a man would feel distressed when a beautiful woman sheds tears. The other party ignored even my own claims, so it was obvious that she was really heartbroken.
"Princess, as long as there is no decree, everything will be in time. You still have time to plan for yourself."
Cuizhu said immediately and pointedly.
Lianyi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief to bring herself back to normal. After listening to Cuizhu's words, she said uncertainly:
"You mean to put the father first?" "The palace is in charge?"
"Of course, you are the eldest princess of Daqian, and the only one who has the right to influence your marriage is the emperor."
Cuizhu made it clear.
"Let's go back to the palace. I want to borrow someone from my father to check on this Nangong Qing. If he is not a husband, I will abandon him. There are many men in the world."
The ripples are a little bit. Said coquettishly.
Cuizhu immediately showed a successful smile and added another fire:
"What His Highness said is that you are a golden branch and a jade leaf. Only you have the right to choose others. If the other party is not wholeheartedly It doesn’t matter to you if I give it up.”(End of Chapter)
