The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 168 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (22)
"Is there anything wrong with the Third Prince?"
Shui Zhizi showed the aura of Princess Dongmeng. Now it was time for the negotiation between Laiguo and Dongmeng.
"Princess, can you please come in and talk?"
It snowed all night last night and it is very cold outside now. Shui Zhizi's hands are red again.
"No need for that. The Third Prince and the adults can just tell me what you want to say."
The officials behind Xin Zhuyou all showed worry on their faces when they heard this. Is there really nothing to talk about?
Xin Zhuyou was also stunned. Shui Zhizi had never spoken to him in such a cold tone.
Even Shui Zhizi's eyes became sharp.
Xin Zhuyou's eyes flashed, and he directly told Xin Zhuyin the conditions.
Everyone was waiting for Shui Zhizi's answer, but they heard Shui Zhizi's sneer.
"Are you kidding me, Third Prince? What do you think your country of Lai has paid for what you said?"
As expected of the famous military strategist of Lai State, he guessed her purpose clearly.
"Princess, please feel free to ask for anything you want." These words were said by an adult behind Xin Zhuyou.
"Where is our Dongmeng's envoy?" Shui Zhizi answered the question irrelevantly.
Under Shui Zhizi's sharp gaze, the adult suddenly felt short of breath and guilty.
"The lords are having a family dinner at my King Lai's court."
"Family dinner? When did their family start living in Lai Country?"
"Princess Dong Meng, the marriage between the two countries has long been known to everyone. Princess is now talking about other things. Are you really going to break the contract?"
The other adult behind Xin Zhuyou seemed very angry.
Shui Zhizi, however, began to become careless.
"Oh, really? How come I don't know that the marriage between the two countries is already known to everyone?
But no one in Dongmeng has spread the news that Lai State asked the princess to marry him.
How can something that has no fixed number become known to everyone? "
Shui Zhizi spoke the word "marry down" very seriously.
The person who was angry just now choked up. Of course, it was their Lai country that spread the news as soon as they received the message.
As soon as the news came out, Beiying withdrew its troops.
"My Lord, you, the Lai Kingdom, spread false information for some purpose. Now you are asking for trouble, and you still have the nerve to question me."
The adult being questioned turned pale and blue. How could it be fake news? It was Dong Meng who refused to admit it.
But Dongmeng's national strength is there. How many people would believe this if it were said?
He looked at the mockery on Shui Zhizi's face and was speechless. Finally, the confidence and contempt for Shui Zhizi that he had when he first came in were gone from his eyes.
Xin Zhuyou wanted to see a hint of joking in Shui Zhizi's eyes.
But no, there was only ridicule and offended anger in Shui Zhizi's eyes.
Could it be that he had guessed wrong from the beginning to the end, and Shui Zhizi really wanted to go back?
Xin Zhuyou’s face also turned pale.
"Princess, you agreed to the marriage yourself. You know that the marriage is extremely important to the Kingdom of Lai.
Xin Zhuyou asked the princess to stay for the sake of the refugees and people you met along the way.
As long as the princess is willing to stay, Laiguo will satisfy whatever you ask for."
There was no change in Shui Zhizi's expression, but her heart had actually begun to soften.
Why was she always so kind to Xin Zhuyou? Because Xin Zhuyou had been asking for help from the beginning to the end.
From the beginning to the end, he remembered that it was Lai State that needed help from Dong Meng, and he never thought that as the eldest princess, she had to obey Lai State in everything as soon as she arrived in Lai State.
She also doesn't think that everything she does as the eldest princess is what she should do, and there is gratitude in her eyes.
Shui Zhizi has the final say in Lai State, so the people of Lai State must face up to her identity and existence.
"Third Prince, I am a spoiled person. No one has ever dared to ask me to do anything in Dongmeng since I was a child, let alone ask me to be sensible. Do you understand?"
Xin Zhuyou immediately replied, "I understand. In Lai Country, the princess can always do whatever she wants. No one will disrespect the princess, and no one will ask the princess to do anything."
"Third Prince, so you have to keep me here no matter what, even though you know Xilin has already started mobilizing troops."
"It's just a normal troop movement by the princess. After the marriage between Dongmeng and Lai, Xilin will also consider that if he goes to war, he will have to face two countries, so he will not go to war."
"Since you, the Lai Kingdom, are determined to keep me here, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
"What does the princess want?"
“I do not wish to stay permanently in your Lai royal court, nor do I wish to be separated from the Dongmeng people who came with me.
So I want you to find me a new place to live in the capital, one that has land and is big enough.
This palace and the people I brought from Dongmeng will live here permanently.
The most important thing is that no one can come in and disturb me without my consent."
Want land? Xin Zhuyou's eyes lit up instantly.
Along the way, Shui Zhizi and her maid seemed to have been collecting soil.
As far as he knew, among Shui Zhizi's dowry there was someone who knew about farming.
Maybe Shui Zhizi is not being unreasonable. What she is going to do should be beneficial to the country of Lai.
He said that Shui Zhizi shouldn't have changed so much suddenly.
"No problem, I will find this place myself and will definitely satisfy the princess."
"Third Prince, are you sure your prince will agree? I am the queen but I have been staying outside the royal court for a long time."
When Shui Zhizi said this, her eyes were on the official behind Xin Zhuyou whom she had just questioned.
"As long as the princess is willing to stay in Lai and marry the king, she can stay anywhere. I will convince the king."
"Then wait for your king's consent. The third prince can go back and report now."
Shui Zhizi turned around and went in. It was too cold.
Xin Zhuyou felt weak in the heart as he looked at Shui Zhizi's slightly trembling back.
In fact, it was obviously a good thing for the country of Lai, so she didn't need to be so tough. She just had to tell him and he would find a way to get the king to agree.
But this is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving way.
"Third Prince, how can this be allowed? As the queen, you have to live outside the royal court for a long time. How will the people see this?"
Xin Zhuyou turned around and wanted to explain slowly as usual, but inexplicably thought of Shui Zhizi's actions.
Many times being tougher seems to solve problems faster.
"Then what do you think we should do, Lord Chen? Let the princess go back or detain her by force?"
Lord Chen was speechless. If the news of Princess Dongmeng's return were to spread today, Beiying would send troops to provoke tomorrow.
Princess Dongmeng was forcibly detained. The Emperor of Dongmeng is still waiting for news, unless he wants to offend Dongmeng completely.
Seeing Lord Chen, who used to be full of excuses, now speechless, Xin Zhuyou suddenly understood Shui Zhizi. For some people, it would be easier to be stronger.
Not surprisingly, Xin Zhuyin agreed to Shui Zhizi's request.
