After Nangong Wushuang returned to the post house, the minister Ash who was accompanying him to see the bride frowned and said, "I saw the attitude of the Emperor of Zhou today. He wanted to promise the princess to Chu Yuanzhou. Why did the princess refuse?"
Nangong Wushuang replied calmly: "I have already made such a big ugly appearance in front of Chu Yuanzhou, how can I marry him again? If I marry him, I'm afraid I will be laughed at for the rest of my life."
Ash said with some displeasure: "But it is the king's will for the princess to marry the prince of Chu. In doing so, the princess is violating the king's wishes."
Nangong Wushuang glanced at Ash and said nothing. Ash frowned and said: "According to their rules, if a woman is engaged to a man and then the engagement is canceled, it is a very dishonorable thing.
The thing is, the princess first said she wanted to marry Chu Yuanzhou in the main hall today, and then went back on her word.
In the eyes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is almost like an annulment of the engagement. The princess's reputation has been damaged in the eyes of the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our dynasty is not strong, so the king asked the princess to come and get married this time. In fact,
It has a profound meaning, if the princess cannot get married, she may not be able to return to Tuoyin in the future."
Nangong Wushuang understood what Ashe meant. If she came to Dazhou this time and couldn't get married, then she would have to die and Tuoyin's palace would no longer tolerate her.
Even though she was vaguely aware of these things in her heart, she still felt extremely sad when Ash said it.
She bit her lip lightly and said: "If things really develop to that point, then I have to ask you to go back and tell your father that my mediocre appearance cannot impress the powerful people in Zhou Dynasty. Please send my third sister to the hospital."
Dazhou, to fulfill my father's wish."
The third princess Qiu Si is the apple of the eye of the king of Tuoyin Kingdom, and she is treated as a treasure on weekdays.
Hearing this, Ash's eyes became colder and he said, "So the princess is not afraid of death?"
Nangong Wushuang smiled coldly, and Ash sneered: "Princess is not afraid of death, but do you want to think about Mrs. Ruan?"
Mrs. Ruan is Nangong Wushuang’s biological mother.
There was a hint of anger in Nangong Wushuang's eyes, Ash raised his chin, and said with some pride: "Before I left, the king of the country gave me a secret. If the princess cannot marry Chu Yuanzhou, why don't I marry him?"
If it’s a concubine, the king will send Mrs. Ruan to the cannibal pond to feed the fish!”
There were tears in Nangong Wushuang's eyes, and she bit her lip gently.
Ash added: "I have finished speaking. It is up to the princess to decide what she wants to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out without saluting.
Nangong Wushuang closed her eyes, and tears overflowed from her eyes. She knew that she was naive in thinking about this matter.
Even though she has royal blood, most of the time she is not as good as an ordinary commoner.
When Chu Yuanzhou returned to Prince Chu's Mansion, Yun Qian asked Huan Yu to bring him a bowl of Laba porridge. As soon as the porridge came out, Chu Yuanzhou smelled the faint fragrance of rice. He was in a good mood and drank it in one go.
He raised the bowl to the sky and asked, "Have you given it to mother?"
"Send it to me a long time ago." Yun Qian replied with a smile: "Mother said you would like the taste very much. Mother is really the person who knows you best in the world."
When Chu Yuanzhou saw Yun Qian at this time, he felt like he was surviving a disaster. He hugged Yun Qian into his arms and said, "Qian Qian, it's great to have you by my side."
