Chapter 169 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (23)

Xin Zhuyou acted even faster and found the place Shui Zhizi wanted within two days.

On the day the place was found, King Xin Zhuyin of Lai went to the city gate in person to pick up Shui Zhizi and bring her into the city.

And Son of Water handed the letter to Emperor Dongmeng to the envoy of Dongmeng in front of Xin Zhuyin.

The letter naturally talked about persuading Emperor Dongmeng to let her, the eldest princess, stay in Lai State.

Acting naturally has to have a beginning and an end.

When Xin Zhuyin saw the few words written by his royal brother, his pretended smile finally showed some sincerity.

As the queen, she had to stay outside the royal court all the time, and only the Dongmeng people who came with her were allowed to enter and exit her residence freely.

What is the difference between this and setting up a new Princess Dongmeng Mansion for Shui Zhizi in Lai State?

But he, the great King of Lai, had to agree. How could Xin Zhuyou's smile be sincere?

But even so, Xin Zhuyin still had to prepare for any unexpected events, so he set the wedding date for him and Shui Zhizi five days later.

This was the grandest wedding in the history of Lai State. It was talked about by the people of Lai State for a long time and was also remembered by Xin Zhuyin for a long time.

Xin Zhuyou has always known that water gardenia is very beautiful.

The eldest princess, who was carefully nurtured by Dong Meng, naturally had an extraordinary appearance and temperament.

Xin Zhuyin, who accidentally whipped Shui Zhizi that day, had surprise and satisfaction in his eyes besides worry when he heard Shui Zhizi's maid call out "Princess".

But Xin Zhuyou never knew that Shui Zhizi, wearing a gorgeous bright red wedding dress, was so beautiful that he couldn't look at her directly and even felt a little sad.

He, a man of humble status, finally kept a noble woman who was willing to treat him fairly and equally in his country. He should be happy, so why would he feel sad?

But no matter how Xin Zhuyou tried to convince himself, the sadness became more severe.

On the second day, when he and the courtiers of Lai State paid a visit to their queen, he was so sad that he almost couldn't breathe when he saw Shui Zhizi's gentle smile.

The marriage was finally settled, so today, in addition to the court officials paying homage to the queen, another thing to do was naturally to reward the meritorious officials who had made contributions to the marriage.

Shui Zhizi watched helplessly as several officials of the State of Lai who had gone to Dongmeng with Xin Zhuyou were rewarded one by one.

But until Xin Zhuyin asked the court officials to leave, no one mentioned Xin Zhuyou, the person who contributed the most.

Shui Zhizi didn't want to interfere in the court affairs of Lai State on the first day of her marriage.

But looking at the expressions of sympathy or sarcasm that the court officials gave Xin Zhuyou, Xin Zhuyou did not seem surprised at all and seemed to be used to it.

Thinking about the possibility of needing Xin Zhuyou in the future, Shui Zhizi's mind started to turn.

When everyone turned around to walk out, Shui Zhizi called out to Xin Zhuyou.

“Third Prince, I took the initiative to separate you and the envoys, which caused you to be injured.

I don't like to owe others. I don't know where the Third Prince's fiefdom is. I'll have someone send some money to your fiefdom."

The court officials who were about to leave stopped in their tracks for a moment.

The amount of money that needs to be sent to the fiefdom must be huge. Dong Meng is indeed rich.

Before Xin Zhuyou could answer, Xin Zhuyin, who was sitting next to Shui Zhizi, had already frowned.

"Queen, this is what he should do as the bride-welcoming envoy. It does not require any money."

Shui Zhizi kept smiling, looking superior.

“Your Majesty is right, but I heard someone say that the reason the Third Prince was separated from the envoys was because I was too arrogant.

As the Princess of Dongmeng, I am never afraid of others saying that I am arrogant.

But I have to let everyone know that as the Princess of Dongmeng, I have the capital to be arrogant. Although I am arrogant, I can bear the consequences. "

Xin Zhu's face turned dark. Who was the one who said that Shui Zhizi was spoiled? This was what he should say at this critical moment.

Shui Zhizi didn't pay attention to the expressions of the people around him, but just looked at Xin Zhuyou condescendingly.

"Why, Third Prince, you don't say anything because you think the money I paid is not enough to cover the consequences of getting you hurt?"

Xin Zhuyou glanced at Xin Zhuyin before answering Shui Zhizi's questions.

"I dare not, but I have no fiefdom, and I have no use for the money."

"Ah? What are you talking about, Third Prince? I, Dong Meng, have never had a prince or a prince who is as old as Third Prince and still has no fiefdom.

And didn’t the bandit you captured say that your country of Lai hasn’t paid the soldiers for several months?

Doesn't the Third Prince know to use this money to pay the soldiers? Why is the Third Prince of Shenlai so stupid? "

The expressions of the court officials and Xin Zhuyin below were extremely complicated.

The arrogant Princess Dong Meng seemed to be belittling the State of Lai in every word, but she openly took out money that could be used to pay the soldiers.

Don't even give them a chance to say anything to blame.

Princess Dong Meng is spoiled and willful, but her simple and innocent character has won her heart in the Lai Kingdom.

"What the queen said is true. You should use the money for military pay. I neglected the matter of the fief. From today on, the third prince will be named King You and granted the fiefdom of Longzhou."

Of course Xin Zhuyin would not let Xin Zhuyou take the money that was delivered to his doorstep for free.

But Shui Zhizi has already said that, and if Xin Zhuyou is not made a king, the court officials will also be dissatisfied.

This title is really casual.

If the last character of Xin Zhuyou's name is "Shi", then he should be called Shi Wang.

Thinking of this, Shui Zhizi shuddered.

"I thank the king for his reward." The person who thanked was Xin Zhuyin.

But Xin Zhuyou knew very well that it was Shui Zhizi who used money to buy him this fiefdom and the position of prince.

Moreover, Shui Zhizi lied about this. The matter of military pay was not told to her by the bandit, but he said it himself.

If the king knew about this, he would definitely be punished.

At this moment, everyone thought that Princess Dong Meng was spoiled, but she was obviously the smartest one.

But why would the princess help him? Xin Zhuyou felt his suppressed yet powerful heartbeat and fell into confusion.

Yingfu also had such doubts. "Why did the princess help the third prince?"

Or should I use so much money to help?

"It just happened." Shui Zhizi didn't take it to heart at all.

"How could so much money be taken away easily?" After coming out of the court, the princess asked the third prince to get the money.

It is half of the princess's dowry.

Shui Zhizi pulled Yingfu to sit down.

"How long do you think Laiguo can remain peaceful in its current state?"

The Lai State will definitely continue to fight.

Whether other countries want to test Dong Meng's attitude, or Xin Zhuyin himself wants to take advantage of the current situation to seize the initiative, Lai State must continue to fight.

Yingfu looked worried when she mentioned this. "I heard at the banquet yesterday that the king might take the initiative to attack Beiying."

The years in Dongmeng have been stable, but Yingfu also knows the cruelty of war.

Moreover, in the wars that Lai State has fought in recent years, it has lost more than it has won. If it loses again, no one knows what will happen.
