The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 176 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (3)

Shui Zhizi also celebrated her first birthday in Lai State. Although it was not as grand as the one in Dongmeng, it was much better than the birthday she had on the road last year.

Except for the fact that she often encountered the Sixth Prince who insisted on breaking into her mansion, Shui Zhizi had generally adapted well to the country of Lai this year.

Ever since she learned that Lai State had won the battle, Shui Zhizi no longer paid special attention to Xin Zhuyin's news.

For Shui Zhizi, as long as Laiguo does not lose and Xin Zhuyin is not in danger of life, that's enough.

But unexpectedly, on the day Xin Zhuyin led his army into the capital of Lai State, he asked Xin Zhuyou to bring people to invite Shui Zhizi back to the royal court.

It is said that there will be a celebration banquet, and Queen Shui Zhizi should be present.

When Shui Zhizi saw Xin Zhuyou again after a long time, she found that Xin Zhuyou had not changed much.

But the armor he was wearing looked familiar.

After being reminded by Yingfu, Shui Zhizi realized that this was the return gift she gave to Xin Zhuyou when Xin Zhuyou gave her a fur coat on his way to Lai State last year.

Coincidentally, the fur coat Shui Zhizi was wearing today was also the one Xin Zhuyou gave her last year.

Shui Zhizi did buy other fur coats this year, but the color of this coat was the most satisfying to her.

Therefore, when meeting guests or going out, Shui Zhizi would prefer to wear this fur coat if necessary.

Of course Xin Zhuyou also noticed that Shui Zhizi was wearing the clothes he had given her before.

He thought about the fur coat in the carriage, which had a better color and more delicate stitching than the one Shui Zhizi was wearing, and he couldn't help but smile.

Since Shui Zhizi liked the fur coat that was hastily prepared last year, she would definitely like and accept the fur coat that is now on the carriage.

Last year's piece was made because he saw Shui Zhizi shivering from the cold every time she got off the carriage. In order to prevent Shui Zhizi from moving, he hurriedly left the team to go hunting, and then he sewed it for Shui Zhizi as quickly as possible, but it was not done well enough.

But the one he was going to give to Shui Zhizi today was a prey he happened to come across when he was out investigating military intelligence, and he fell in love with it at first sight.

After I got it, I took time to work on it myself. It took me a full six months to carefully finish the clothes.

But now it seems that it was a bit too much. Xin Zhuyou feels a little regretful, but more of it is heartache.

Shui Zhizi has lost weight. She has really lost a lot of weight in the year since she came to Laiguo.

Even my skin is not as fair as before and has become a little redder.

But it is still beautiful, Xin Zhuyou said silently in his heart.

As Shui Zhizi and Yingfu got on the carriage, they saw the package on the table.

"King You, what's on the table?"

Shui Zhizi asked Xin Zhuyou who was riding a horse outside through the carriage.

"Last month I happened to come across a nice shop selling fur coats. I thought that was the Queen's birthday that month, so I picked one as a birthday gift for her. I hope the Queen won't mind."

This light sentence summed up my feelings for the past six months.

Shui Zhizi has received too many birthday gifts over the years and doesn’t think there is anything special about receiving birthday gifts.

It just so happened that she liked it at first sight, so she accepted it.

"Thank you, King You. In that case, next time I return to your house, I will pick out a gift for you from the storehouse to celebrate your triumphant return."

Xin Zhuyou accepted the gift because Shui Zhizi did not refuse, but his smile froze on his face when no one was paying attention.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Xin Zhuyou did not refuse.

Because of their relationship, everything should be settled clearly like this, and no one owes anyone anything.

Even most of the matters concerning Queen Shui Zhizi were handed over by Xin Zhuyin to Xin Zhuyou.

For example, the fruit and vegetable business and picking up and dropping off Gardenia from the royal court every time.

But in fact, their communication has always been very little, just like now except for the few sentences just now.

There were only two of them in the carriage, and one of them and the guards were outside the carriage. They had no more communication, even though they hadn't seen each other for almost a year.

Of course, this kind of communication is not less than the communication between Xin Zhuyin and Shui Zhizi.

After Shui Zhizi returned to the royal court and her own residence, she did not see Xin Zhuyin that night or the next day.

It was not until the evening of the next day when the celebration banquet was about to begin that Xin Zhuyin appeared in front of Shui Zhizi.

Even when they met, they didn't communicate much.

It was nothing more than Shui Zhizi's polite congratulations to Xin Zhuyin on his triumphant return, and Xin Zhuyin responded with a wry smile.

Yingfu watched the two of them getting along beside Shui Zhizi, and was just glad that the princess had only been thinking about responsibility from the beginning and had never thought about any other developments with King Lai.

Yingfu couldn't imagine how painful the princess would be at this moment if she wanted a husband who could share her soul.

Shui Zhizi could naturally see the guilt and defensiveness in Xin Zhuyin's eyes, and she also knew the reason.

When Shui Zhizi entered the royal court yesterday, she had already met several court officials.

Those courtiers who took the initiative to greet her were all grateful to her.

Because of the fruit and vegetable business, Yan State took the initiative to show weakness and wanted to discuss cooperation with Lai State.

Although there was no direct conflict between Yan State and Lai State this year, the relationship between the two countries has not been good.

But this time, because of the vegetable and fruit business, Yan State took the initiative to send people to show weakness, which is a great joy for Lai State.

That's why Xin Zhuyin asked Xin Zhuyou to take Shui Zhizi back to the royal court.

From the very beginning, everyone knew that those fruits and vegetables were developed by Shui Zhizi and Dong Meng's people.

But even so, Xin Zhuyin was not very grateful to Shui Zhizi, he just felt a greater sense of crisis.

To Xin Zhuyin, Shui Zhizi’s threat on the second day of their marriage was still fresh in his mind.

The more powerful Shui Zhizi and the Dongmeng people she brought with her became, the more afraid Xin Zhuyin became. However, he couldn't do without Shui Zhizi's help, so he could only act like this with a false face.

However, Shui Zhizi would not do anything to expose Xin Zhuyin.

Because Shui Zhizi's goal from beginning to end was to make the people of Lai live a good life and make Lai stronger, strong enough to help Dong Meng.

As for Xin Zhuyin's attitude towards her, she didn't care.

As long as it doesn't touch her bottom line, Xin Zhuyin can do whatever he wants.

Shui Zhizi's bottom line is the conditions she proposed to Lai State when she agreed to stay in Lai State.

So when Shui Zhizi saw Xin Zhuyin exchanging eye contact with a female general below at the celebration banquet, she didn't take it to heart at all.

However, just because Shui Zhizi doesn't take it to heart doesn't mean that others don't take it to heart.

“Sister Wang, you don’t know that you have worked hard to help Brother Wang do business in Lai Country.

He even fought for the Kingdom of Yan for him, and refused to see other princes like us for him. He even let the guards attack us.

But Brother Wang even brought his childhood sweetheart with him to the battlefield.

Sister Wang, I'm afraid that you will have a bastard son soon."

Shui Zhizi had just accepted the thanks from the court officials and hadn't even sat down when the Sixth Prince Xin Zhushi started to instigate her.
