unruly princess

Chapter 61

Staying at home these two days, traveling east and west freely.Sometimes I go to admire flowers, sometimes I practice swordsmanship, sometimes I drag Chu Yun to play chess, but I always lose completely.

The eldest brother came and saw me like this and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Little sister is really cool! I really don't know what you think in your heart, don't you worry at all? 
"I'm worried, I'm very worried! That's why I'm so relaxed now. Maybe I won't have such a good life in the future." I just finished a game of chess with Chu Yuntian and said half-truth.Although I couldn't beat him, my chess skill has improved a lot.

Song Qiran couldn't help shaking his head, "It seems that you can't even trust my brother, and you don't tell the truth."

"I'm telling the truth! Do you have to be nervous to show that you can't eat, sleep well and restless?" I took a sip of tea and said.

"That's true." Song Qiran suddenly realized after being stunned for a while.

"Yu'er, I'm still worried about the match between you and the princess tomorrow. After all, you don't even know what questions she asks, do you?" Chu Yuntian said.

"Then there is no other way. If I lose, you can just marry her." I looked helpless.

"Yu'er, don't joke. This is a very serious problem. How could I marry her?" Chu Yuntian said with a serious expression.

"Then it's over, anyway, I have nothing to worry about if you marry her again. Ah~ I'm a little tired, go take a nap. Get enough energy to fight." I stretched and walked towards my bedroom.

Don't worry, how is it possible.I guess the princess might try martial arts with me, but this is only one of them, even if I win this level, I have no chance of winning the others!It's actually quite a headache.I hope she doesn't act like a lady.

Concubine Yu's birthday was also held in Pengxian Hall, concubines' birthdays are usually not held so grandly, let alone all civil and military officials are required to attend.However, under special circumstances, an exception will be made to hold a grand ceremony.For example, this time, not only to take this opportunity to welcome the second prince and princess of Heiyu Kingdom, but also to explain their marriage.All the ministers brought their wives to the banquet.

Chu Yuntian and I are still the second from the left, but the people on the opposite side have changed. The first on the right is naturally the second prince of the Black Jade Kingdom, and the second is the willful and savage princess.The person who sat in that position last time was. ． ．
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, that man who looked cold-blooded and full of ambition, that man who looked exactly like Zhan Yuan.That man who was domineering but cared for me on the way to escape, I always have an indescribable feeling when I think of him recently.Maybe it's because he blocked that arrow for me that I will never forget it.

Facing the war that is about to start, I don't know what attitude he has. I'm afraid he is eager to try, and he has been looking forward to this day for a long time.But what I want to do now is to give half of my husband to another woman, just to defeat him.It feels a little ironic.From the bottom of my heart, I don't want him to lose. If he loses, he will definitely die.And if the battle really starts, then Chu Yuntian will fight him!
Never have I felt so lost.Ordinarily, Chu Yuntian is my husband, to protect the emperor's country, no matter what, he is on the side of justice.As for Dongfang Haoyuan, he once hijacked me, and he belonged to the rebel faction who seized the throne.I really have no reason to worry about his safety, but I really don't want him to die, and I even worry about him.

I was still in a daze, but the Empress Dowager and today's protagonist, Concubine Yu, were already sitting on it.Concubine Yu didn't look as high-spirited as she did when she saw her a few times, and there was a hint of sadness hidden in her eyes.It seems that Lin Wanjun's entry into the palace has indeed brought her a great threat.I can't help but feel some sympathy for her.

Forget about the polite remarks that the emperor said at the beginning of the chapter, and turn to the business. "Today is called Concubine Yu's birthday, but the main purpose is for the princess's marriage. And the husband-in-law she chose was clearly stated from the beginning to be our General Zhen Guo, but the relationship between the general and his wife is well known, So what I mean is that the princess might as well think about it, you must know that General Chu is not the only good man in this country!" Dongfang Xuan said gently.

Princess Yalin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want General Chu to marry me, but I don't want Mrs. Chu to say that I am bullying others, so I want to have a contest with her to convince her. "

"Oh? I don't know that the princess still has such ambition, but what does the princess want to compare with Mrs. Chu? How about winning, what about the loser?" Dongfang Xuan said with great interest.

"If Bengong wins, she will have to leave General Chu, but if she wins, Bengong will naturally not marry the general. But this time I have to decide the event." Princess Yalin looked very proud It seems that she is the winner of this competition.

"I don't know what Mrs. Chu means? You must think about this matter clearly!" Dongfang Xuan asked me.

I stood up and said respectfully: "The concubine has no objection."

"Okay, if that's the case, please ask the princess to participate in your competition!"

"My princess has been different from other girls since she was a child. She doesn't like women's painting and calligraphy, but loves riding and shooting martial arts. So this time I'm going to compete in martial arts." As soon as Princess Yalin finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion below.

In the eyes of outsiders, I'm just a young lady who has no power to restrain a chicken. Naturally, I will definitely lose when she makes such a request.

Dongfangxuan's face showed embarrassment, but there was a flash of amusement in his eyes: "Princess, this seems to be a bit difficult for others! We girls in Jinlong Kingdom have never practiced martial arts, and Mrs. Chu is just a delicate girl, how can she win against you?"

"Then I don't care. Since I have agreed to let me decide the topic, I will have the final say." Princess Yalin said domineeringly. It seems that her parents really didn't teach her how to write the word polite.

Dongfangxuan didn't care too much, turned to me and said, "What does Madam Chu think?"

Who knew I would reply, and another Cheng Yaojin came out to sabotage him, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you are right. The little girl's attention is really difficult. In my opinion, this boring farce should not go on any longer. It is serious to point out their marriage. Besides, it is common for a man in your country to marry two wives. Why do you have to let one of them quit! Sister She has never been merciless when she takes action. If Madam Chu is really hurt, it will be true. It’s unreasonable.” The second prince, who has been observing me since I entered the hall, suddenly said at this moment.Although he always looks gentle and polite, but I don't have a good impression of him from the bottom of my heart.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Anyway, I won't lose." Princess Yalin seemed dissatisfied with her second brother's statement.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?" Yu Kangqi ignored the princess's complaint and said to the Emperor.

"This..." The emperor didn't expect him to have such a reaction, even I was a little confused, if it wasn't better than me, wouldn't there be no hope at all.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has already made a bet with the princess. Even if the concubine loses, I will give it a try. I believe the princess thinks so. The second prince should not stop me."

"Madam Chu is right, the most important thing is integrity. I believe the princess is not someone who does not keep her promises!" Dongfang Xuan said. 
"Of course! I have always kept promises. Second brother, you should stop being a mother-in-law." The princess also said.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of my visit this time is to marry Shemei and General Chu. Only after we get married, we have a reason to send troops. It is justified. And the person who makes a marriage must be General Chu. I also think that only General Chu and Shemei That's the most correct thing. So please make an order for them to get married as soon as possible, your majesty, the war is imminent, there is no room for any further hesitation, my majesty."

All the ministers also echoed, and even the empress dowager was a little shaken and said: "My son, what the second prince said is not unreasonable. You should make an order quickly. The Ai family also thinks that time should not be wasted on these boring things .Your Majesty, you are a person who does great things, so you have to distinguish between priorities!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you should also ask the humble minister for his opinion on this matter. I can't marry Princess Yalin, so I'd better ask the princess and the second prince to choose someone else!" Chu Yuntian's resolute words made the princess and the second prince's relationship His face was a little ugly.

"Tian'er, you must put the overall situation of the world first!" The Empress Dowager's tone was faintly threatening.The second prince seems to be more impatient than the princess, I thought with a frown.

Seeing my calm look, the Queen Mother thought I had figured it out, so she asked me, "What does Yu'er think? You shouldn't object to Tian'er's marriage with the princess, right?"

"No, Queen Mother. You are wrong. I am the one who opposes it the most. But is my opposition useful? Does anyone care? You don't just do what you should do." I was a little annoyed, and I was speechless. Some rushed.I really envy the kind of people with great wisdom who can turn things around, but I am just an ordinary person, what can I do in front of these supreme people.

I thought I could change the ending today, but it turned out to be such a situation.Especially the second prince is even more eager than the princess, if people don't know, they think he is going to marry!But why?

Why does he insist on the princess marrying Chu Yuntian? I don't think the princess likes him very much. Could it be that this is where my anxiety these days comes from?Even the princess can't help herself?I was taken aback by my own thoughts, and broke out in a cold sweat.This matter is definitely not simple.It seems that this matter has to start with the second prince.

While I was thinking to myself, I forgot that what I said just now had angered the Queen Mother. "Mu Siyu, is this the attitude you should have when speaking to your elders? You...are really daring." Seeing that I didn't praise her, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment.

"Queen Mother," Chu Yuntian pulled me to kneel with him, "Yu'er offended you just now and I will apologize to you on her behalf, but I must make my words clear today, I will never marry Princess Yalin, please The empress dowager should stop embarrassing my ministers."

"You..." The Empress Dowager might not have expected that Chu Yuntian would contradict her in front of the princes and ministers of other countries, she couldn't hold back her face, and kept trembling her fingers.

Seeing that something was wrong, the emperor hurriedly persuaded the queen mother to leave first.Finally, I left a sentence: "I will give you three days to consider and mediate. If the princess still wants to marry the general after three days, then I will not delay no matter what."

Hope was stifled in the cradle, I did not expect such a situation today.We went all the way back to the General's Mansion without a word.The smile that the second prince gave me when I left the hall made me feel very eye-catching. It seems that I was right to place the little walnut in the hotel. I can be 100% sure that the second prince is definitely not just here for the princess’s wedding. ．

What on earth is he thinking?Why must the princess marry Chu Yuntian?These questions occupied most of my attention, so I had no time to think about the marriage between the princess and Chu Yuntian.

After returning, I sent a letter to Little Walnut Flying Pigeon to let her pay close attention to the second prince's movements.If you find any abnormal situation, you must notify me in time.

The next day, Chu Yuntian was called into the palace, and he could figure out why with his thumb.His face was as ugly as I imagined, but I don't know what the Queen Mother told him.

Little Walnut sent me a message saying that she could hardly get close to the second prince's side, not to mention that she was not the maid they brought, so she was not allowed to get close at all.

Most of the things she asked others about the princess knew everything about the princess, but who knew that it would not work if it was the second prince. Most of the maids either didn't know or didn't answer.

But there is one thing she knows, there is a very remote small study room in the inner courtyard of the hotel. Since they came, they have never been cleaned, even the people they bring are not allowed to go, only know that the second prince is sometimes bored I can't come out for half a day inside.Maybe there is some mystery.

I couldn't help being a little startled, how could this silly girl ask about the second prince?Isn't this exposing your identity to the outside world?It doesn't matter if the princess is a gossip at most, but the second prince is different. If they really came with some purpose, then they must be very vigilant about this aspect.If she made an inappropriate inquiry, she might lose her head!

Although Little Walnut is clever, she may not be able to handle this kind of thing.I really regret asking her to investigate this matter.No, I have to get her back quickly, it's too dangerous.But the news I gave her was like sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.Ever since I passed on the book to her, I felt uneasy, and I waited from morning to night the next day, but I still didn't come back.

One more day is the deadline given by the emperor, Chu Yuntian is often not at home these two days, maybe it is because of marriage, let's find a way!What I am worried about now is that the safety of the little walnut is more important than the princess.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Chu Yuntian to come back to discuss this matter with him, but he didn't see anyone until dinner.So I decided to visit the hotel alone at night to see what happened to Little Walnut.

After changing into his night clothes, he took his sword and was about to go out.But was stopped by Cui Er, "Miss, you'd better wait for uncle to come and discuss it before going! I'm really worried. It's not an ordinary place!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. I just want to see what's going on with the little walnut, otherwise I won't be able to sleep. I've been through the palace, so I'm afraid it's just a hotel?"

"But Miss, you have to promise me, run away as soon as you see something is wrong, and don't worry about anything else. If you are caught by them, you will be finished. Miss, if you can't, I still don't worry." Cui'er was so anxious that she was about to cry .

"I promise, I swear that I will run away as soon as the situation arises, and I will never be caught by them, that's all right! I'm leaving." I put on my mask, swept my clothes, and ran towards the hotel.

Although I have several night scouting experiences, but this time I always have some bad premonitions in my heart, even when I broke into the palace, I didn't feel this way.Alas, maybe it's because too many things happened recently that made me a lot more cautious, and I seem to be a lot less courageous.I laughed to myself, shook my head and rushed forward.

It would be great if I asked Little Walnut to draw a simple picture for me, but now I can only find it a little bit.In fact, after entering, I found that the hotel is not too big, and its structure is similar to that of ordinary mansions.There should be nothing wrong with going to the servant's room to find her.It's still early, and most people are still awake.

The lights are brightly lit everywhere, and from time to time, girls and servants pass by in twos and threes, everything looks normal.It's really not easy for me to hide my figure.

I quietly hid in the west courtyard, and felt that something was wrong just after taking two steps. It was so dark here, even the house was not lit, like an uninhabited courtyard.There was a dead silence.Sure enough, it was ambushed here.I stopped and looked around vigilantly, but didn't dare to move rashly.Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and my eyes couldn't adapt, so I couldn't help blocking the light with my hands.Vaguely saw a person coming out of the servant's room.
