109 He is the ice that cannot be broken
At this time, the Prime Minister of the Red Mansion, Xing Lu, had already obtained a land deed of 5,000 taels of gold and half of the fertile land from Huo Qiguang. He wanted to kill Holantai quickly so that he could get his other half.
But at this time, I heard that the king's favorite Ninth Princess intervened and things became complicated. I wonder what kind of friendship the Ninth Princess had with Holantai?
Xinglu's confidant entourage said worriedly: "The Ninth Princess is young and playful and bold. She always disguises herself as a man and sneaks out of the palace. I heard that she took a lot of effort to catch her back this time. The king is so precious to her. I guess she will agree to her any request. The Ninth Princess must have fallen in love with the boy Holantai, right? It is said that Princess Xijun of Shanhai Kingdom had fallen in love with him before, and she was still yelling to elope with him. If our Ninth Princess asks not to kill him, but instead recruits him as a prince consort, the matter will probably be difficult..."
"Son-in-law, son-in-law," Xinglu twisted her beard and gradually showed a sly smile, "Hello, son-in-law, I have an idea, come!"
Xinglu sent a confidant to send a sealed letter to Huo Qiguang. After receiving it, Huo Qiguang did not delay for a moment. Guangshi sent someone to the Red Mansion with a heavy gift.
After receiving the gift, the King of Red Mansions read the letter and came to see his youngest daughter decisively.
Chunci was in the boudoir and nipped cucumbers with anger, biting harder than each bite.
It’s not that she likes to eat cucumbers, but that the taste of cucumbers is more relieved.
Seeing that the father came, Chunci's expression calmed down. He hugged the father's neck for a while and was so cute.
The King of Red Mansions sighed: "Time flies like a flash of time. In a blink of an eye, my beloved quote has reached the age when I should get married. I am so old."
"If your daughter doesn't marry, she will be with her father all her life, as long as she doesn't dislike her."
"How can that be possible? Men get married when they are old and women get married when they are old. It is natural. What kind of man does Cier like?"
Chunci was stunned: "Apart from his father, Ci didn't like other men."
The King of Red Mansions laughed: "That's because you haven't met a good man yet. As a father, a good man must have amazing talents and ambitions to support the world... My words are really lucky!"
Chunci looked at his father in confusion: "What blessing do I have?"
"Today, Shanhai Kingdom has the largest territory and its national strength cannot be underestimated. If you..."
The more I hear the spring words, the more strange it becomes. Is the country of mountains and seas related to me?
After a moment.
"What? King Shan Hai sent someone to propose marriage? It was the cruel, violent and notorious Huo Qiguang? He had amazing talents and ambitions to support the world?! Did the father really love to sai, otherwise how could he marry his daughter to that kind of person?!"
King Lou Ye of the Red Mansion took out a piece of brocade from his arms, with many words written on it.
"Ci'er, look, this is a list of gifts sent by King Shan Hai. There are the East China Sea night pearls with a diameter of half a foot, the priceless natural red, yellow, blue and green jade phoenix birds, and... "
The King of Red Mansions spoke with great enthusiasm, and the Chunci was filled with tears in his eyes.
She was just hurt by the stinky man in prison, and now she was cold again by her father.
I thought my father regarded him as the pearl in his hand and took care of his feelings in every way, but it turned out that he was worth these things in his father's heart! Besides, Huo Qiguang has a lot of wives. Is his happiness not important in the eyes of his father?
"My daughter will never marry Huo Qiguang!"
The King of Red Mansions threw the brocade aside and started coaxing and cheating, but it never worked. In the end, the King of Red Mansions almost knelt down to his younger daughter.
"Ci'er, what should I do if you are so disobedient, let me be my father? If this incident causes a dispute, our Red Mansion Country does not have enough weapons and chariots, but I can't beat them! Besides, I have to spend a lot of money on war. Isn't that better to keep those silver for my father to buy jewelry for Ci'er?
Jewelry? Clothes? If there is no love, what's the use of being so beautiful? Who should I dress up for?
For the first time, Chunci felt that the father he had always respected was like a stranger. For the first time, he felt that he was a princess but had no support, floating like duckweed.
All the eight sisters above her were married, and each of them was obedient to their father's words and never dared to say "no". In the past, when they were in the palace, they often taught their younger sister to be a well-educated and traditional woman, to obey fate, and to absolutely obey the father's will.
However, the Ninth Sister Chunci could not do anything. She wanted to love passionately and crazyly, hate her heartily, and live her life like a real man!
It is also possible that she gave birth to the wrong person and the wrong era.
Holantai seemed to be sitting in prison calmly, but in fact he felt a little anxious.
He was not worried about himself, mainly because night was coming and Yu'er was about to turn back into human form. If the prison guard saw her, it would be troublesome. One of the worst consequences was that the prison guards would dedicate her to the King of Red Mansions when they saw her beautiful appearance.
"Yu'er, take advantage of the darkness of the sky, you fly out of the palace."
The kingfisher whispered and responded to him: "I won't leave, I'm going to be with the young master."
"Don't worry, that Ninth Princess is a stingy person. She won't let those people do anything to me. Besides, you've calculated it for me, I can't die."
"No, even if I leave, my heart is still here. If I am like a walking corpse, what's the point of peace? Yu'er must share the storm with the young master."
Lantai had no choice but to touch the kingfisher's feathers with loving love and blame, feeling the dantian heat up.
This has been happening in recent months. The dantian is hot and a warm current flows to the limbs and bones. It feels very comfortable even when I don’t practice anything.
"What does male pet mean?"
She suddenly asked.
“This is this…”
Holantai, who vowed not to tell her a lie, was embarrassed. Yuer was as simple as a piece of paper, and he didn't want to pollute her ears with those messy things.
"Is it right to play with the princess?"
I explain myself in an understanding way.
“Uh, right.”
"Then the young master always played with Yu'er before. Are you considered Yu'er's male favorite?"
Holantai, who is usually very polite, is stuck. I am afraid that only the innocent Yuer in the world can always leave him speechless.
Just when I was embarrassed, the rescue came.
He was a little maid with a very decent look. He opened the door of the cell with the key and said that the princess was invited.
Lantai was about to say that I couldn't leave, but I had a few brothers locked up here, and the little maid bowed her head in understanding: "The young master's friend is waiting outside."
Lan Tai was puzzled and observed the maid carefully.
He is very good at meeting each other, and usually you will know if the other person is the truth or a word against his will.
According to his observation, this woman behaves naturally, her tone is calm, her face is innocent and ignorant, and there is nothing wrong with it.
As soon as she walked out of prison, she heard the familiar coughing sound. It was indeed Feng Xingzong. Soon she saw Xiao Aobai and Ye Ling waving at him again.
The three of them stood unscathed under a big tree. There was a ray of lanterns in the distance, but the guards patrolling with lanterns could not see it.
There was a person standing beside them, and that was...
When Holantai approached, he realized that it was Princess Chunci, who was dressed as a man and wore a fake beard!
Yeling and Chunci are enemies, and they almost started to fight when they meet. But this time Yeling is very grateful for her life-saving grace and doesn't say much.
Xiao Aobai was even more happy when he saw Chunci. Moreover, the girl was not fierce at all today. She didn't chase her and waved her fists, and she looked particularly beautiful.
I didn't expect that he was a noble princess, and I didn't expect that I was rescued by her this time. I didn't expect that there were too many things in the world.
"Why didn't you say goodbye to the inn last time?"
Chunci said angrily: "Do you still have to break willows (ancient farewell ceremony)? Or do you have to beat gongs and gongs to tell the world?"
Xiao Aobai: "I don't mean that, haha, it's great to see you again."
Chunci still didn't give him a good face: "What's the good thing? I won't have any good things when I see you."
Xiao Aobai scratched his head and smiled silly.
It was getting late at this time, and Holantai knew that the Kingfisher would transform in the future, so he raced against time to figure out the situation.
Chunci pulled Lantai aside, and his small voice was straightforward and terrifying: "My father wants to marry me, I refuse. Can I elope with you?"
Her face was actually very hot, but fortunately she was covered by night.
In an instant, Lantai felt as if time had passed. Once upon a time, another princess had visited her in prison; another princess had also disguised as a man to visit her late at night, determined to elope with her! Unfortunately, she was going to let them down.
Xiao Aobai and Yeling were inexplicably aware of what Chunci was doing, but Feng Xingzhang coughed again.
Chunci looked at the "fool man" who did not answer, looked up at the lantern in the distance, and finally sighed: "This is not a place to speak, come with me!"
In addition, there were six maids she brought with her, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard wall on her left, circled around and entered a secret door and led to the secret passage.
This princess who loves to play is indeed in vain. She is familiar with the forbidden area of the palace.
The huge underground secret passage system is well-connected, and there are palace guards in many places.
Even if they know the princess, they have to stop asking for it out of their duties, not to mention that Chunci dresses up like this, it would be strange if someone recognizes her.
Xiao Aobai was worried that he would not be able to get out, but unexpectedly, Chunci calmly took out something from his arms and shook it, and then stopped his hand in the air and deliberately let the guards see it clearly.
The guards holding weapons all bowed and greeted them respectfully, and always said this.
Walking far away, Xiao Aobai asked curiously: "Hey, is the seal you took real?"
Chunci: "Of course, it was really given by the father himself, saying that seeing the seal is like seeing the king. If I slip out and play, it is safer, no one dares to bully me."
Xiao Aobai: "Then why didn't you carry a seal on your body when you picked you up in the mountains?"
"This thing is pure gold, I wish I could be heavier than me. I was too lazy to take it on it when I went up the mountain. Do you want to be exhausted?"
Xiao Aobai: "Then why did you bring it again today?"
"Isn't it to save you?"
Xiao Aobai: "So, we are very important to you?"
"Stop being so pretty, it's mainly him, not you."
Chunci pointed at Holantai shamelessly. He felt that he was so good to him that even a piece of ice should melt, right?
But Lan Tai's lips were closed tightly, silent, and one hand was still protecting his heart.
