This year was extremely deserted because of keeping filial piety. On the night of New Year's Eve, Shen Xingwan even spent time with Lin Zhiyu.
Both of them were a little tipsy after drinking. Lin Zhiyu held up his chin and said, "I plan to leave with Iris on the third day of junior high school."
"I won't see you off then. I wish you a safe journey in advance." Shen Xingwan handed her a tips bag, "If you go to Yannan in the future, come here to find me."
"Okay." Lin Zhiyu tilted his head and smiled, "I want to look around with Iris first, and I will go if there is a chance."
Now that the world is in chaos, she and Iris have discussed it and plan to go for a walk outside the Great Wall and stay there for a while.
At dawn, Lin Zhiyu said goodbye.
Shen Xingwan hugged her and said, "I'll regret it later."
"There will be a time to regret."
Shen Xingwan watched her back disappear into the morning mist, and slowly exhaled, knowing that everything would be over soon.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the palace came to take her into the palace and asked her to accompany the Ninth Princess.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Ninth Princess will set off to marry in Northern Xinjiang with a ten-mile red dress.
There was already a scene in the palace that a happy event was approaching, and when I looked up, I saw a sea of red.
The palace of the Ninth Princess was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was very strange.
"Miss Seventh, you are finally here." The palace attendant breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, "Hurry in."
When she entered, the Ninth Princess was trying on a wedding dress. The beautiful and complicated wedding dress seemed to crush her when she was wearing it. The Ninth Princess was like a soulless puppet who could be played with by the palace people.
The Ninth Princess is the girl she has ever seen who is most suitable for wearing red. She is a dazzling and energetic girl, and her red dress embodies it to the fullest.
Now that the red wedding dress is on her body, it no longer has the warmth.
"Why have you lost so much weight?" Shen Xingwan asked.
"I've been having nightmares recently, and the dreams are filled with large swaths of blood..." The Ninth Princess was devastated.
The aunt who was fitting her clothes shook her hands and said, "It is unlucky for the person the princess is going to marry to say these things."
The Ninth Princess said "Yeah" and remained silent.
By the time she finished trying on the clothes, she was so tired that she didn't even want to move a finger, so she just lay weakly on the table.
Shen Xingwan stayed with her quietly. As the sky darkened, she said in a daze, "I'm scared..."
"Afraid of the unknown destination, afraid of farewell, afraid of never coming back..."
"I'm most afraid of hearing bad news one day..."
No matter who loses in the end, this fight will be cruel to her.
Shen Xingwan couldn't say many words of comfort and could only pat her on the back, "It's okay, everything will pass."
When Qi Han arrived, the Ninth Princess had already fallen asleep on the table.
He slowed down and looked at the sleeping Ninth Princess with a red face. His expression softened a little, and the corners of his eyebrows became a little gentler.
Shen Xingwan only felt it was ironic that he was going to push the flower he raised into a pit of fire with his own hands.
"Jiu'er wake up..." Shen Xingwan woke up the Ninth Princess.
The Ninth Princess woke up and rubbed her eyes. The moment she saw Qi Han clearly, her face suddenly turned cold.
"You two can chat slowly..." Shen Xingwan and Bai Ling exited.
Qi Han sat down and looked at the Ninth Princess' expression carefully, "I'm getting married, what do you want?"
The Ninth Princess shook her head and said nothing.
In the past, she always had endless things to say in front of him, but now she avoids him like a snake and a scorpion.
From the moment he decided to marry her to Northern Xinjiang, there was no going back between them.
Qi Han asked, "Do you hate me?"
Princess Ninth's eyes turned red, "I don't hate..."
But I can no longer regard him as the most important person in my life as before.
"The Luo family promised to treat you well, don't be afraid or worried." Qi Han comforted her.
Princess Ninth lowered her eyes, "Well, I'm not afraid."
She has already had a premonition of her future fate and is determined to face it.
When Qi Han finally left, he left a box behind.
The ninth princess opened it and found a beautiful piece of purple jade inside.
That was something she once asked Qi Han for, but Qi Han never gave her. This piece of jade seemed to have special meaning to him, and he always wore it around his waist.
"I finally got it, why aren't I happy at all?" Ninth Princess burst into tears.
The next day, the emperor hosted a banquet for the Luo family, and the ninth princess was called away by the third princess.
This time, it was the Ninth Princess who was officially married, and when she arrived in Northern Xinjiang, it was the Third Princess who would marry the real great history of the feudal frontier.
The Ninth Princess is just a victim of this political game. Of course, no matter which side wins in the end, she will survive.
That night, the palace was brightly lit.
There were too many palace people surrounding the Ninth Princess, and she couldn't intervene, so she could only watch from the sidelines.
When everything was almost ready, it was almost dawn.
The Ninth Princess had completely lost her sleep. She said, "You all should go out. Miss Zhou will stay and talk to me."
The palace guests quickly left, and the room became quiet.
"We shouldn't have a chance to see each other again, right?" Princess Ninth said softly.
Shen Xingwan gave her a gift bag, "This is a wedding gift. Can you open it after you arrive in Northern Xinjiang?"
The Ninth Princess accepted it and hid the kit in her box. She took Shen Xingwan's hand and said, "You must help me take good care of him in the future."
Shen Xingwan said softly, "The person he will marry in the end will not be mine."
"Why?" Ninth Princess was puzzled.
Shen Xingwan had no intention of explaining, "Take a rest, you will be very tired when the sun comes up."
First, dress up, and then put on wedding clothes to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
The procession of dowries and weddings was almost endless, and people along the road came out to watch the fun.
"As expected of a royal princess, this dowry is so huge that you can't even see it all."
"I heard that I married far away and went to northern Xinjiang. The environment there is very difficult."
"It's great to be a princess. I can't spend all this dowry if I don't do anything in my life..."
The Ninth Princess sat in the carriage, listening to the excitement outside, feeling even more reluctant to give up.
She has been away from the place where she grew up for many years, and she doesn’t know if she will ever have the chance to come back and take a look.
Qi Han personally protected the marriage and sent her to the city gate.
The Luo family stepped forward and said, "Prince Regent, please stay. We will take good care of the princess."
Knowing that his relationship with the Ninth Princess was extraordinary, the Luo family specially gave the two people time to say goodbye.
Qi Han got out of the car and walked to the carriage, wanting to open the window and talk to the Ninth Princess.
But she found that she couldn't push it open, and the ninth princess in the car held on tightly to the window and wouldn't let go.
Qi Han quickly let go, knowing that she still blamed him, so she didn't want to see him.
He raised his hand and knocked on the window, "No matter what, I hope you can be happy. When everything settles, I will come to Northern Xinjiang to see you."
The Ninth Princess bit her mouth tightly and did not dare to cry. How can we let the dust settle?
Was it to destroy the royal family and slaughter all her relatives?
This answer was too cruel for her and she didn't dare to ask.
Shen Xingwan stood on the tower and watched the wedding procession go away little by little.
Bai Ling couldn't help but whispered, "Miss Lin is gone, and so is the Ninth Princess."
"It's time for us to leave." Shen Xingwan turned around, "Let's leave."
