Chapter 150 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (4)
Prime Minister Lu was silent. Yes, how did it become a foregone conclusion? Why did the emperor agree to it?
If the late emperor knew that the Kingdom of Lai had exchanged his promise for his most precious daughter, he would probably go to the King of Lai in the underworld.
But would the late emperor also be happy that the eldest princess did not let him down?
The princess was right. What he could do now was to get more dowry for the princess. This would give the princess the confidence to return to the royal court of Lai in the future.
After seeing the prime minister off, Shui Zhizi walked towards Shui Xian'er, whose face was filled with tears.
"Why are you crying? Your body won't be able to bear it if you cry for too long."
Shui Zhizi was talking while wiping Shui Xianer's tears.
"Shui Zhizi, you shouldn't have stood up. As long as you don't stand up, no one will let you go to the marriage."
When Shui Xian'er heard the Lai people's request from the palace servants yesterday, she, like everyone else in Dongmeng, had never thought there would be a second answer.
Shui Zhizi smiled at Shui Xian'er as if to comfort her, "How can your body withstand the environment in the north? Besides, I am the Princess of Dongmeng who is highly expected by everyone. This matter should be carried out by me."
Shui Xian'er looked at Shui Zhizi's gentle eyes and eyebrows, and her tears flowed even more violently.
But he roughly pushed away Shui Zhizi's hand, and the words that came out of his mouth made Shui Zhizi turn pale in an instant.
"Yes, it was you who should have gone! Ever since I heard the news yesterday, I've been wondering, why should it be me?
Why have you been given all the good things since you were a child? Since you were a child, your father only held you in his arms.
We appear at the same time, and the first person Brother Lu looks at is always you.
The court officials are always extremely respectful in front of you, but they are very perfunctory even when greeting me.
But when the marriage proposal came up, no one in Dongmeng would think of your name, and everyone assumed that person should be me.
Why? Do you know how much I envied and hated you since childhood?
Shui Zhizi, you shouldn't have stood up. I never really regarded you as my sister."
Shui Zhizi was speechless for a long time. She, Shui Hao and Shui Xian'er grew up together. Even though they were not born from the same mother, in her heart, Shui Hao and Shui Xian'er were the same to her.
Even because of what happened in her previous life, her trust and sincerity towards Shui Xian'er in this life even exceeded that towards Shui Hao.
She never knew that Shui Xianer was thinking this way.
"Shui Zhizi, even if you stand up for me, even if you go to marry me, I won't be grateful to you. This is the price you should pay for enjoying so many years."
Shui Zhizi wanted to see some other emotions through Shui Xianer's stubborn gaze, such as heartache, stubbornness or regret.
But Shui Xian'er didn't seem to feel relieved.
Shui Zhizi suddenly didn't want to ask anything anymore. She turned around and left in silence.
She walked very slowly, step by step. She was thinking a lot, but it seemed like she was thinking nothing.
In the end, there was only one sentence left in Hun Dun's mind. It seemed that she really had no reason to stay in Dongmeng. There was no one in Dongmeng who needed her to worry about or take care of.
"Why did you stand up, Shui Zhizi?"
A harsh voice came from behind, and Shui Zhizi's stiff steps paused.
"Because I should take on my responsibilities as the eldest princess.
Because I'm afraid your body won't be able to withstand the northern environment and something unexpected will happen.
Because I am afraid of regretting it, because I have treated each of you sincerely.
But also because I am a very good person. ”
Shui Zhizi gritted her teeth and spoke every word clearly.
Yes, because she is a very good person. Even in her previous life before she retired from the world, she had always been a qualified princess.
In this life, she will be a qualified princess and the pride of Dong Meng.
She deserves the favor of her father, the emperor, and her mother, the empress, as well as the respect of the court officials.
She did not regret feeling guilty towards Shui Xian'er, nor did she regret stepping forward to marry.
At this point, she could be fair to everyone, but she and the three of them were clear from now on.
After coming to this conclusion, Shui Zhizi stopped dwelling on the past. Her top priority was how to survive in the environment of the north.
Shui Gardenia went to the royal training ground as if nothing had happened and picked up the bow and arrow to practice again.
"With this kind of force, even if the rabbit is motionless in front of you, you can't kill it."
When Shui Zhizi was sweating profusely, she heard these words.
Shui Zhizi raised the bow and turned around, pointing it at the person who was speaking.
It was not because he was angry or embarrassed, but because a stranger appeared in the royal training ground.
Seeing the clothes of the visitor, Shui Zhizi asked, "Are you from Lai?"
"The envoy of Lai State, Xin Zhuyou, has met with Princess Dongmeng."
When Shui Zhizi heard the man introduce himself, her eyes turned and she carefully retracted the bow and arrow.
With her current abilities, it would be terrible if she failed to catch the weapon and hurt someone.
Xin Zhuyou. The third prince of Lai State, and the most valued helper of Xin Zhuyin, the current ruler of Lai State. Although he is not a blood brother of King Lai, he is also very important in the royal court of Lai State.
"No need to be polite, Third Prince. Why are you here?"
"Emperor Dongmeng said that we can visit all the martial arts arenas in Dongmeng."
In fact, Xin Zhuyou specifically wanted to come and see what kind of person Princess Dongmeng, who had volunteered to marry, was.
As Xin Zhuyou spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shui Zhizi, and the meaning of his scrutiny was self-evident.
Shui Zhizi naturally noticed it, but didn't feel offended.
At this time, the people of Lai State should have heard that the marriage partner was her, so it was normal for them to be curious.
"How is it? Prince San, do you think your king will be satisfied with this wife of mine?"
Since Xin Zhuyou did not hide his feelings, Shui Zhizi spoke frankly.
Xin Zhuyou smiled with just the right amount, and a hint of flattery.
"Brother Wang will definitely be very satisfied."
Satisfied, but also a headache. This is the most favored princess of Dongmeng.
His position is extremely important both in the Dongmeng royal family and in the hearts of the Dongmeng people.
Originally, the Lai Kingdom just wanted a princess of humble origin, so that other northern countries would see Dong Meng's attitude and be wary of him.
Since he was not born in a high-class family, even if something happened in Lai State, Dong Meng would not pursue it too much.
After all, given the situation in the north, it would be almost certain that Princess Dong Meng, who had been pampered since childhood, would die if she married there. This was something everyone knew.
But the person she is going to marry now is Princess Dongmeng.
With such status and position, if something happened in Lai State, the people of Dongmeng would probably skin Lai State alive.
But since Princess Dong Meng wants to go to Lai State herself, Lai State will not give Dong Meng a chance to regret.
The identity of Princess Dong Meng in intimidating other northern countries will certainly be more effective than that of an ordinary princess.
Moreover, Princess Dong Meng went to Lai State. No matter what happens in Lai State in the future, Dong Meng will not sit idly by.
