Chapter 63

The third princess was "sick". It is said that her whole body was covered with rashes and she could not stand in the house every day. Emperor Yanqing issued an oral order, ordering the third princess to take care of her illness without anyone disturbing her.

Of course, a princess with rashes could not marry her. Emperor Yanqing then wrote a letter to Jili, hoping to replace it with the second princess. Jili was very happy and could change it at will. Anyway, he didn't really like the third princess. He married it as a chess piece, and any princess would be the same.

After discussion, Emperor Yanqing immediately issued an order to marry the second princess and auspicious. The 18th day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day, so in late November, Dazhou will send the second princess over.

After receiving the news, Xiao Ting was so angry that he couldn't afford to eat. He matched the "good thing" between the third princess and Geely. Now Emperor Yanqing is partial to the vicious third princess and bullying the dignified and gentle second princess. He is simply fighting against him and Jing Yi!

"I'll go to see the queen mother tomorrow." Xiao Ting said angrily. Because of Jing Yi, he had a three-point affection for the second princess and seven-point disgusted with the third princess. The remaining three points were too lazy to care too much about a woman. With this addition, Xiao Ting naturally had to try his best to help the second princess.

Jing Yi sighed: "Both are granddaughters, and the empress dowager cannot take care of it."

Behind the second princess is an elderly and obedient queen. She has honor and has not much favor. If she really sends the second princess to marry, the queen will be sad, but she will not cry at the empress dowager. The third princess is different. Concubine Li is favored in the harem and becomes arrogant because of her favor. If the empress dowager advises the emperor to send the third princess to marry, Concubine Li dares to rush into the Ci'an Palace to make noise.

The empress dowager is old and it is impossible to get involved in this muddy water again, not to mention that both of them are their own granddaughters.

"Then just watch the second princess marry Geely?" Xiao Ting slapped the table hard, and took a breath of pain after slapping. Jing Yi's little hand was too tender.

Jing Yi hurriedly held up his hand, and saw that his palms were red, she gently rubbed him, her movements were gentle, but there was no tenderness on her face, and she was still feeling uncomfortable for the second princess, "The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no room for maneuver."

Xiao Ting pursed his lips and was not saying anything.

If it was Jing Yi who went to marry him, he would instigate his father to rise up and rebel against the foolish monarch tonight, but if it were the second princess... It's a pity that it's not a family after all, and the couple's sisterhood with her was not so deep that they would rather put the Xiao family members in danger and go to help her.

The couple lay down, Xiao Ting touched his still flat belly, and suddenly pinched Jing Yi hard.

Since he was pregnant, Jing Yi was used to being bullied by him. He took a breath and said calmly: "What's wrong?"

"If you succeed in the future, if you dare to let our daughter marry you, I will rebel against you first." Xiao Ting gritted his teeth and threatened, threatening others, but others still hugged her tightly.

Jing Yi patted him on the shoulder, his voice was indifferent: "I'm not him."

Xiao Ting rubbed her chest with satisfaction, thought for a while, and slowly fell asleep.

The second princess is about to leave the palace tomorrow. Xiao Ting accompanied Liu into the palace to visit. Liu personally made a heavy cloak for the second princess. As a woman, she was forced to marry a Xiongnu Chanyu who had killed countless soldiers and people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if it was a princess with no intimacy, Liu felt distressed and gave a lot of instructions.

The second princess lowered her eyebrows and looked down, and seemed to listen to everything, but she was no longer angry, like a flower that had not yet bloomed, and in a blink of an eye the cold winter ushered in.

Xiao Ting can't comfort people. In this situation, no comfort is of no use.

The next day, shortly after the second princess left the city, it snowed in the capital. The snowflakes were as big as goose feathers, and the world was covered with white. Jing Yi was wearing a guard uniform and stood outside the Qianyuan Palace of Emperor Yanqing, watching the snowflakes fluttering expressionlessly, like cotton covering them, making people breathless.

To the north of the capital, the wedding ceremony guards were heading towards the northern border, and after half a month of travel, Xiao Boyan led his men out of the city to greet him. Seeing the princess riding the car with a big red door curtain, the general who had been stationed in the frontier for many years was like a thorn in his throat, he walked to the carriage and knelt down to apologize: "I and other soldiers are incompetent, so the princess is tired of marrying far away."

The second princess covered her head with a veil, and the veil was still moving, like a wooden man, without any feelings.

Xiao Boyan waited for a moment, stood up silently, and made way for the way.

The guard of honor passed through the north gate of Qingcheng and continued to move forward. Xiao Boyan led his troops to send them twenty miles to meet the Xiongnu welcome team, and then stopped. Listening to the sound of horse hooves of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, they turned back and forth, under the red veil, two lines of tears finally rolled down from the pale face of the second princess.

The grassland looked flat, but the road was bumpy and the car was bumpy. I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sudden sound of horse hooves outside. The second princess only knew that she had left Dazhou and could never go back. So anything that happened on this grassland had nothing to do with her, so she didn’t care about anything.

She just sat there blankly, hearing someone outside angrily scolding the name "Wuqu", and heard the sound of swords and horses neighing outside. The horses driving the princess were also frightened and walked around uneasy, but seemed to be trapped in a place. The second princess was jogging and dizzy, and the veil fell to the ground. Suddenly, a horse came straight to her side.

The moment the curtain was lifted up, the second princess instinctively raised her head.

Outside the curtain, there were a pair of eagle-like eyes staring at her.

The second princess's silent heart finally came alive again, but she was afraid. If Jili was a wolf, a cruel but old wolf, then the person outside the car, the owner of those eyes, was a wolf king in her prime, which was even more cruel and terrifying than Jili.

The second princess hid back in panic, but the other party took action faster. She leaned forward and locked her hand like an eagle claw. The second princess' wrist hurt and then tightened her waist. When she reacted, the person was already pulled into the man by an unstoppable force.

"Walk!"

A cold order came from above the head. Before the sound fell, the static horse under her suddenly rushed forward. The second princess who had been on the horse for the first time was not prepared and leaned straight backward, just hitting the man's too broad and strong chest. The chest was like a wall, which made her spine hurt!

The horse ran wildly, and the second princess took a step forward again.

An iron arm suddenly hugged her waist and pulled her back to her chest in time. Then, as if to confirm something, the man's arm moved slightly and changed to holding it with his hands. The slender and wide palm could almost completely hold the woman's slender waist that had been reduced.

The second princess was still in shock and did not notice the man's little movements. The cold wind came out like a knife shattering her face to make her face hurt. Tears fell at some point. The second princess looked back and looked behind her, followed by several horses. The horses were all dressed in the Huns, but the casualties on the side of the ceremonial guard were also Huns.

The second princess was scared and at a loss. Why did these Huns kill each other?

Before he could think about it, the horse climbed up a steep slope and rushed down again. The wind became stronger. The second princess was so cold that her whole body shook and her teeth were trembling. The man lowered her head, and the woman's scattered black hair danced wildly with the wind, scattered on his face. Out of unexpected pain, it also carried a scent of unheard in his life.

Feeling the slender waist in his hand that was broken by pinching, the man used his empty hand to pull open his clothes, and the next moment he completely hugged the second princess in his arms, then gathered the heavy robe blown away by the wind, blocking the second princess and his head. The sound of the wind was gone, and the man's unique rough aura surged like a tide, with warmth and a faint smell of sweat.

The second princess was stiff all over. This man wanted to take care of her and take care of her. Who is he?

The horse ran wildly, and the second princess was spoiled and was almost disbanded after some bumps. When the horse finally stopped, the second princess was weak and had only the strength to open her eyes. The man's robe in front of her was gone, and the second princess looked outside in a hurry and saw the Huns tents, and the one in front of her was the largest.

The man suddenly dismounted. The second princess was about to hold the saddle, but her waist was suddenly grabbed by someone. It turned into the man's arms in a blink of an eye and actually hugged her. The second princess had never been so close to the man. She felt the gaze of other Huns nearby, and the second princess struggled to do her best.

For the man, her strength was not as strong as a newborn lamb. The man smiled sarcastically and hugged her and stepped into the tent. The tent was simply furnished without any unnecessary decoration. He used his eyes to signal the person who was serving him to go down. The man entered the inner tent again and threw it away casually, and threw the second princess onto the big bed covered with wolf skin in the middle.

The second princess' bones were about to fall apart. After falling like this, she almost fainted and lay there in pain, but she didn't even have the strength to turn over.

"Are you the second princess?" The man took off his thick fur and robe and sat on the chair, staring at the red color on the bed without any emotion. On the Hun grassland, he had never seen such a bright red color, nor did he see such a white woman. Just like a common wild fruit on the grassland, the shell is red, peeled off the shell, and the flesh inside is whiter than snow.

Recalling the sweet taste of the fruit, the man swallowed it unconsciously and swallowed it twice.

"Who are you?" The second princess recovered slightly, climbed out of bed in a mess, trying to stand up, but after immediately, she was immediately stuck for several hours, from morning to dusk, the inner side of her legs was so painful that she hadn't stood up straight, and the second princess fell down.

The man didn't move, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The princess of Dazhou was so weak.

Without answering the second princess’ question, the man continued to ask: “I heard that Dazhou had chosen the third princess and married him before, why did it become you again? Your father doesn’t like you?”

When the second princess heard this, she laughed and she burst into tears. What kind of princess she is? She would rather not be a princess, and would rather be born in a poor family, and would rather be sold to others as a concubine and maid by her poor father than be given to the Xiongnu barbarians for free by the noble father.

The woman cried, but did not make an annoying sound, quietly, like the finest rain in spring. The man couldn't help but look at it a few more times and guessed the answer. He said in a deep voice: "Looking at you like this, you should not be willing to marry Jili. This is the best. You don't like Jili. I have an irreconcilable grudge with him. It's better to marry me and be my Wuqu family."

Wuqu?

The second princess looked at the tall and big man in a daze. She had never heard of this name except when the two groups of people were fighting just now.

Wu Qu stared at her and slowly showed a sneer: "Have you heard of me?"

For an ambitious hero, not being mentioned by his opponent is the greatest contempt. Although Wuqu looks down on the foolish and timid Emperor Yanqing, the Great Zhou has a vast country and is more prosperous than the grassland. The total number of soldiers in Emperor Yanqing can be millions, so Wuqu naturally regards the Great Zhou as an opponent.

The second princess did not understand the government affairs, but she could observe her words and expressions, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "The harem cannot interfere in politics. What happened to the court is not something that happened to our harem women."

Wu Qu's face was a little better. Seeing that the second princess was still sitting on the ground, he hesitated for a moment, walked over, grabbed her arm with one hand, and gently lifted it to sit on the bed. However, he did not retreat, and stood in front of the second princess. The second princess looked up and faced his crotch.

The second princess immediately lowered her head and tilted her face to the side.

"I am Wuqu, the Shanyu of the Wusun tribe. When Geely killed my father and brother, I want to kill him to take revenge. Geely was afraid that I would join forces with Dazhou to deal with him, so she took the lead in proposing to marry Dazhou and then concentrate troops to defend me." The woman hung her head, Wuqu wanted to discuss things with her, so she had to squat down and look straight in the eyes of the second princess, "I didn't plan to join forces with Dazhou before, but now you are in my hands, so it's better to be a marriage for you and me..."

"Even if you marry me, my father will not help you." The second princess understood and smiled self-deprecatingly, staring at the other side, "I don't count anything in my father's eyes, and he will not support you for me."

"I don't need his support. If you can't marry Geely, Dazhou and Geely won't join forces. That's enough." Wuqu said confidently, "As long as Dazhou does not help Geely, I will definitely be able to win Geely for three years at most."

A princess has fallen into his hands, and he doesn't believe that Emperor Yanqing will give another princess to Jili.

The second princess vaguely seized a glimmer of hope and mustered up the courage to look at the man opposite: "As long as I stay here, my father will not join forces with Geely, and then Shanyu doesn't have to compromise and marry me. How about this? I live in your tribe peacefully for three years. Three years later, Shanyu will be revenged. Can I send me back to Beijing?"

She wanted to go back to Beijing, and even if she was ridiculed, she wanted to go back.

"Don't you want to be my sage?" Wu Qu raised his eyebrows, his expression of joy and anger could not be seen.

The second princess lowered her eyes and habitually refused: "The Shanyu is a great hero on the grassland. I am just the most unpopular princess in the palace and is not worthy of the Shanyu." The key to refusing was to have a tactful tone, first praise the other party to make the other party feel comfortable, then belittle herself.

The daughters and noble men in the capital acted like this, but the Huns spoke straightforwardly and did not have so many twists and turns. Although they guessed that the second princess's words were humble and refused, Wuqu was still pleased by the "big hero". Looking at the second princess in front of her, she was so delicate that she was even more beautiful than all the Hun women combined.

"I said you deserve it, you deserve it."

Youyou glanced at the second princess, and Wuqu stood up, "You rest first, I will go and write a book and propose marriage to your father."

The second princess has an outstanding appearance and wants to marry him. What's more, marrying the second princess can not only make you angry and bring you closer to the Great Zhou...

Before picking up the curtain, Wu Qu looked back and looked at the second princess who was hurriedly lowering her head to hide her face. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became.hf();
