Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace

Western Xia Palace

When the Emperor received the letter from City Lord Chu, he was immediately furious. "Chu Hanzhi, you are so bold to deceive me. Your son has been studying in the mountains for many years. How could he die? Moreover, he has contracted an epidemic. Are you deliberately trying to make me cancel the engagement?"

"I see your thoughts clearly. Don't even think about canceling the engagement."

"Even if you have to die, you must marry my princess before you die. I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve. Feel free to use them."

"Your Majesty, you can send the imperial physician to treat the young city lord. In fact, it is to find out the truth. If the Chu family deceives your Majesty, your Majesty will directly punish Chu Hanzhi for deceiving the emperor. At that time, the entire Shu City will be under your control."

"It makes sense."

The emperor sat on the magnificent dragon throne and was lost in thought.

"What if Chu Nanxi is really dying? Do I really want to marry Rou'er to a dying person? Even if I get the whole Shucheng, I will feel guilty towards Rou'er. After all, she is my most beloved princess."

"Your Majesty, if Young Master Chu is really going to die soon, you can choose any girl from the minister's house to marry him. When Young Master Chu dies, City Lord Chu will only have Chu Nanxi as his son. He will definitely not be interested in managing Shucheng. Your Majesty will then send someone to take over the entire Shucheng."

"That's a good idea. I don't mind if you make her a princess."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"You still have more ideas, old man."

At this time, the second princess Tuoba Rou came over and said, "Your son pays homage to the emperor, father."

"Rou'er is here, what do you want to see father for?"

"Father, I heard from the palace that you want to marry me to the son of the Lord of Shucheng. He is already in his twenties and has not yet married, nor does he have any concubines. He must have physical defects. I do not agree to this marriage."

"I am only fifteen years old. How can I live with a disabled person? I don't agree, even if I die."

"Chu Nanxi, I just came back from the mountains to learn skills, so I haven't married yet. If any palace maid dares to gossip about me again, I will pull out her tongue."

"Did your Majesty really not lie to me?"

"real."

"Father, have you really made up your mind to give me to Chu Nanxi?"

"Father is still trying to understand his situation. If he is worthy of my princess in every way, I will recruit him as my consort."

"Father, since you are choosing a consort for me, why don't you let me meet Chu Nanxi? If he pleases me, it won't be too late for you to grant us marriage."

"Shucheng is far away from Xingqing Prefecture. Are you going to Shucheng to see him?"

"Your Majesty, you can order him to come to Xingqing Mansion to see me. I am your princess, how can I lower my status and go to such a faraway Shucheng to see him?"

"Even if he is the mayor's son, he is not qualified for me to lower my status to meet him."

"Father, I know you love me the most. At least let me see whether he is round or flat."

"People all look the same, there's no need to look at each other."

"But there are also differences between beauty and ugliness. I will not agree to marry her unless I see her."

"The marriage of children is decided by their parents and matchmakers. How can you mess around with it? I have made up my mind and it cannot be changed."

"Father, I disagree, even if I die."

"You are becoming more and more unruly. Back off."

"Your Majesty, why not order Young Master Chu to live in Shizhou Inn and let the imperial physician confirm that everything is correct before letting the Second Princess see him. This way, we can better understand Young Master Chu's specific situation."

The emperor was hesitant. He was worried that Chu Nanxi was really infected with the plague, and it would be troublesome if the plague was passed on to Rouer and others.

"Convey my order to order Chu Hanzhi to send his son Chu Nanxi to Shizhou Posthouse to wait for my summons."

"Old slave obeys the order."

"Thank you, Father."

The emperor thought to himself: When he came to Shizhou, it would be clear whether he was really ill or not. If he dared to deceive me, I would just capture Chu Hanzhi and his only son. The entire Chu family is under my control.

Lord Chu soon received the emperor's decree, "Nancy, the emperor ordered my father to take you to Shizhou Posthouse to wait for the emperor to summon you."

"Your Majesty, he was also worried that I was sick and didn't dare to let me go to Xingqing Prefecture. He only dared to order me to stay at Shizhou Posthouse, a hundred miles away, and wait for the imperial physician to examine me before making a decision."

"That's for sure."

"We will leave tomorrow. I will have someone pack your things today."

"Mu Ran, you will be the young master's personal bodyguard from now on. You must protect his safety."

"I obey my orders."

"Dad, I'm going back first."

"it is good."

Chu Nanxi came to Song Liuli's room, "Mr. Song, I'm going to Shizhou tomorrow. Will you wait for me at my house or go to Shizhou with me?"

"I've been out for three months now and it's time for me to go home. Why don't we go together? You go to Shizhou and I go home."

"I still don't know where your home is?"

"My home is in Xingqing Mansion. Once you have dealt with the Second Princess' affairs, I will take you back to Xingqing Mansion to play."

"it is good."

The next day, the city lord's wife sent them to the gate of the mansion and looked at them father and son with concern.

"Husband, you must protect your son and take good care of yourself. We, mother and daughter, will be waiting for you and your son to return safely at home."

City Lord Chu patted her hand gently and said firmly: "Madam, don't worry! Your husband will definitely bring our son back safely."

"I believe you."

She looked at Chu Nanxi reluctantly again.

"Son, you just came home and you are about to go on a long journey again. This time it is very dangerous. You must return home safely with your father."

Chu Nanxi hugged his mother and comforted her gently, "Mom, don't worry! Daddy and son will be back soon, you don't need to worry."

"Yuer, take good care of mother and the entire Chu family, okay?"

"Brother, you and daddy please come back soon. I can't bear this burden."

"Don't worry! Big brother won't let you bear such a heavy burden."

The City Lord's wife looked at Song Liuli again, "Mr. Song, come to Shucheng when you have time. The door of our Chu family will always be open to you."

Song Liuli looked at the city lord's wife with gratitude.

"Aunt, thank you for your hospitality. I will definitely repay you when I have the chance."

The city lord's wife whispered in her ear.

"Song Li, can you tell your aunt where you live now? What's your name? Your aunt won't tell Nancy."

"Aunt, I am Song Liuli, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Song. I came to Shucheng with Master Chu for some reason."

"I am very grateful for your help. I will never forget your kindness."

"I've long seen that you're a lady from a wealthy family, but I didn't expect you to be the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Song. Our acquaintance is fate. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Most definitely."

"Mom, let's go."

Song Liuli and his servant got on the carriage and they slowly set off.

The city lord's wife and Chu Yue watched the convoy reluctantly disappear before their eyes.
