The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

But Xin Zhuyin's memory was not to keep his word, but as long as Lai State needed Dong Meng's support, he would never be able to get away with it in front of Shui Zhizi.

When Lai State unified the north, the first thing he would do was to kill Shui Zhizi to celebrate.

As soon as Xin Zhuyin and Xin Zhuyou left, Yingfu walked into the house without Shui Zhizi calling him, and bumped into Shui Zhizi who was walking out with a hand warmer in her arms.

Shui Zhizi hurriedly handed the hand warmer to Yingfu.

"Is your knee okay?" Although he didn't kneel for long, the weather in Lai Country was really too cold.

"Princess, I'm fine, but I looked even angrier when I saw the king leaving just now. Have we completely broken off relations with the king?"

Shui Zhizi pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Since I threatened him the day after I married him, we have already torn our relationship apart."

Yingfu thought about the few contacts they had with King Lai this year, as well as King Lai's attitude towards the princess, and said firmly:

"As long as the princess doesn't want to be a princess who can be bullied by others, with the king's temper, it's only a matter of time before we fall out with him.

But Princess, don’t worry. With Dong Meng here, even if the king turns hostile, he won’t dare to do anything to us.”

The king is now busy fighting wars abroad and guarding against the Sixth Prince at home. It can be said that he is too busy to take care of himself.

Even if he was angry, he still needed the support of the princess and Dong Meng, so he just let them have a falling out.

Shui Zhizi looked at Yingfu calmly and said something shocking: "What if Dong Meng is gone?"

Yingfu was stunned. "Princess, what do you mean by that?"

"Yingfu, why do you think the emperor gave me so much dowry and why he was willing to cooperate with everything I did?"

"Because the princess is the emperor's only sister." Yingfu said without hesitation.

Shui Zhizi laughed at herself and shook her head. "It's because I feel guilty, because I am still useful."

Before Yingfu could react, Shui Zhizi continued, "But the guilt will eventually run out.

If I have to rely on my dowry and the food that Dong Meng sends to Lai State every year to protect myself.

If you can't bring any value to Dong Meng, how many years do you think my brother can endure it?"

"That's why you, Princess, asked the emperor to stop sending food in the future, and gave them a 20% profit margin when doing business with Yan State, so that they can go to Dong Meng to do other business in the future."

This will not only save the emperor from feeling guilty, but also allow him to see the princess's value.

“Yingfu, with my personality, it is difficult for me to live in peace with Xin Zhuyin. If we want to live in Lai Kingdom forever, we cannot do without Dong Meng’s support.

If we have the opportunity to return to Dongmeng in the future, we must show enough value to make the emperor willing to take us back regardless of rumors, so we have to work harder. "

Yingfu felt extremely distressed when he saw his princess saying these words calmly.

She thought they had a lot of people to rely on, and that even if the princess did nothing, they could still live well.

But now it seems that they can only rely on themselves.

Yingfu didn't doubt Shui Zhizi's judgment at all. When Shui Zhizi said these words, Yingfu's mind came up with the scene where the emperor quickly agreed to the princess's request for marriage.

Just as some ministers in the court said at the time, if the emperor really couldn't bear to let the princess go and didn't want her to marry, he could simply refuse the princess' request.

But the reality is that the emperor agreed very quickly.

"Princess……"

Yingfu wanted to express his loyalty again, but when he saw the princess' trusting eyes, Yingfu suddenly felt that there was no need to say many things anymore.

Instead of saying these words, you might as well think of ways to make the princess' life easier.

If King You had a higher birth, and if the princess had married King You, would it have been easier? Yingfu thought to himself.

Thinking of King You welcoming blessings, she asked Shui Zhizi, "Do you want to invite King You to celebrate the New Year together tomorrow?"

King You is one of the few people in the royal court of Lai who can help the princess.

"That depends on whether he has been whipped or not."

"Ah, I thought the princess was joking when she made this request."

The king wanted to attack the princess just now, so how could he not attack King You?

The clothes King You wore at night were different from those he wore in the morning, and the clothes he wore at night covered his neck, which clearly showed that he had been beaten.

"I was just joking, but King You will probably take it seriously and may not come tomorrow."

"Then let our people go and invite King You tomorrow?"

Shui Zhizi thought about it for a long time. After all, he was the one who saved her life.

“That’s fine, just be careful not to let the people watching outside find out that we took the initiative to invite them.

If Xin Zhuyin finds out that we took the initiative to invite Xin Zhuyou to our house, and Xin Zhuyou fails to explain clearly, he will be whipped again."

"Yes."

Yingfu was already prepared to ask for help, but Xin Zhuyou did not give her this opportunity.

Even though he had been beaten, he still arrived at Shui Zhizi's house in the evening of the next day.

But he was not prepared to go in. He just heard that during the New Year in Dongmeng, relatives and friends would give each other gifts.

He originally just wanted to hand the gift prepared for Shui Zhizi to the guard at the door and then leave.

But when he reached the door, looking at the red couplets posted on the gate of Shui Zhizi Mansion and the red lanterns hanging on the door, and listening to the unusually lively sounds inside, Xin Zhuyou's legs seemed to be held tightly by someone and he couldn't move at all.

He doesn't want to leave!

Xin Zhuyou stood at the door, unable to hand over the gift in his hand. He seemed to hear Shui Zhizi's laughter.

"You Wang, the princess is just asking me to go and invite you. Now that You Wang is here, please come in with me."

When Xin Zhuyou was hesitating, he suddenly heard a voice.

"The princess is looking for me?" Xin Zhuyou was a little incredulous.

“Yes, the princess said that yesterday’s condition was just a joke.

During the year we have been in Lai State, King You has also helped us a lot.

Even this mansion was found by the prince for us, so the princess invited the prince to have New Year's Eve dinner with us."

When Xin Zhuyou followed the guards inside, she felt like she was floating in the air until she saw Shui Zhizi, who was wearing a red dress and smiling happily.

This was the second time Xin Zhuyou saw Shui Zhizi wearing a red dress. The last time was Shui Zhizi’s wedding dress.

Xin Zhuyou hasn't seen Shui Zhizi wearing Dong Meng's clothes for a year.

Occasionally when I came to Shui Zhizi's mansion, everyone in the mansion was wearing clothes from the Lai Kingdom. Shui Zhizi said that it was because she didn't want to attract too much attention.

But today, everyone in the mansion changed into their Dong Meng clothes, and most of them wore festive red.

Even so, Xin Zhuyou still found Shui Zhizi among the crowd coming and going.

It’s not because Shui Zhizi’s clothes are more gorgeous, nor because Shui Zhizi is not holding something in her hands like the others.
