Jingyang has been back in Beiqiang for a while, and this period of time has been relatively peaceful for her.
On the way back to Beiqiang, the king, disguised as "Helian Shi", separated from their main force.
As for the reason, Jing Kangshan naturally would not tell Jing Yang.
Jing Yang was still immersed in the emotions of leaving Dacheng. After returning to Xiaoyue City, the capital of Beiqiang, he didn't pay much attention to the news from the outside world.
Fortunately, her father seemed to be very busy and never mentioned her marriage with Helian Yu again.
Since returning to Xiaoyue City, Jingyang has never seen Helian Yu again.
Seeing that she always kept herself locked up in the house, Xuezhu suggested that they go out of the city on horseback to relax.
Jingyang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he ordered someone to bring out his beloved horse.
In Xiaoyue City, she has no rules and has always been a domineering person.
As she rode through the city, she saw a palace under renovation in the royal city from afar and couldn't help but stop to ask,
"Is this palace not yet completed?"
Xuezhu rode on a horse behind her, glanced at the palace towering into the clouds, and shook her head.
"No, but it's said to be coming soon."
Jing Yang just took a look and sighed when he thought of something.
"I heard from my father that these Chaoyun Palace and Zhaixing Tower were specially prepared by the king for his future princess..."
Xuezhu was a little confused. "Your Majesty has put so much effort into this. Does that mean he has already chosen a princess?"
Jingyang was stunned for a moment and felt that what Xuezhu said made sense.
Judging from the king's temperament, if the princess was chosen at random, he would not have gone to so much trouble.
The king would only be so concerned if he had a candidate of his choice.
"Xuezhu, what kind of woman do you think the king would like?" Jing Yang asked with his head tilted.
Thinking of Dota, Xuezhu couldn't help but shudder.
She rode her horse closer to Jingyang and whispered, "Princess Wang, how can I, a servant, discuss the king's affairs..."
Jingyang raised an eyebrow and pulled her closer. "It's okay, I'm here. What are you afraid of?"
"Besides, you had quite a bit of contact with the King during your trip to Dacheng. What do you think?"
Xuezhu follows Jingyang and is a rare woman who can have close contact with Dota.
She had heard that the king didn't even have a maid.
The king ascended the throne at a young age and was extremely handsome. Many people had previously considered sending people to the king.
But anyone who wanted to get close to the king and take the opportunity to ascend to the throne was thrown directly into the cave of thousands of snakes.
So when she learned that the king had come disguised as Young Master Helian at Dacheng, she was scared to death.
I don’t even dare to look at the king for even a second, so how can I dare to think about these things?
Only when Wang Ji approached the king would the king be kind and friendly, but he still treated Wang Ji as a child.
Thinking of the occasional unintentional eye contact with the king during Dacheng, Xuezhu pursed her lips.
"Princess Wang, I really can't imagine what kind of woman the king would like..."
At first, Jing Yang thought she just didn't dare to speak, so he laughed, turned around, pulled the reins and prepared to exert force.
But she changed her mind and felt that Xuezhu was right.
"Indeed..." she murmured, "To be honest, I can't imagine what kind of woman the king would like..."
To be precise, the king seems to be a person who cannot love.
Although Jing Yang is a princess and is closer to the king than others, it is only because of Jing Kangshan's contribution to the king.
When the king was first brought back to Northern Qiang, Jing Kangshan was just a poor prince.
When Jing Yang first met Dota, he was still young, about a teenager, with a tall and thin figure. He was covered in a black robe, and his eyes were vicious and dark.
Jingyang had met many princes of the previous king before, some were playboys, some were calculating, some were low-key... But Dota was different from them, his eyes were full of ruthlessness.
The young girl had nightmares for several nights because of this.
Later, when she was older, the Fourth Prince re-entered the sight of the Northern Qiang government and the public, and she had more or less learned a lot of stories about the Fourth Prince Duota.
The previous king was arrogant and extravagant, and his harem was chaotic. He had countless princesses and concubines, and gave birth to more than twenty princes.
The fourth prince's biological mother was just a palace maid whom the king accidentally favored when he was drunk last time, and she died of complications during childbirth.
Because his biological mother was of humble status, the fourth prince was also the most inconspicuous among all the princes.
Jing Yang didn’t know what Dota’s childhood was like, but it was definitely not easy, and no one cared about this “orphan” in the palace.
However, an accident happened one year. At that time, the conservative faction in the Northern Qiang Dynasty controlled the government. The conservative faction advocated maintaining the pure bloodline of the Northern Qiang tribe and drove out the Han people in the Northern Qiang territory.
From the royal family to the subjects, everyone underwent a major purge.
In the royal family, in order to express his attitude, the late king sacrificed the four princes who had never been mentioned before.
It’s just because Duota’s biological mother is Han Chinese.
Dota was exiled for ten years...
Jing Yang didn't know much about what happened later, as Jing Kangshan rarely talked to her about court affairs.
But she has always been in awe of Dota.
Anyone who can survive in desperate situations is worthy of respect.
The master and servant rode their horses leisurely out of the city, chatting as they walked.
The direction that Jingyang was riding was outside Xiaoyue City, facing Dacheng in the distance.
The grassy plains are spreading, with many wild flowers blooming, and the Tianshan Mountains stretch out endlessly in the distance.
The blue sky, snow-capped mountains and grasslands make people feel open-minded.
She ran two laps in a cheerful mood, and suddenly, she noticed something and squinted her eyes to look somewhere.
Xuezhu saw her stop and rushed over to ask, "Wang Ji, what's wrong?"
Jingyang pointed to a mountain and said curiously, "Look, there's such a big house halfway up the mountain!"
Xuezhu looked in the direction of her finger and saw a house built halfway up one of the mountains.
"Princess Wang...this house is a little different from ours..." Xuezhu said.
Jingyang also noticed it. She shouted "Go" and rode her horse closer to the mountain so that she could see it more clearly.
"How strange," she murmured, "Why is this house built in the Dacheng style?"
She wanted to get closer, but suddenly, two men in black fell in front of her horse.
The horse raised its front hoof and let out a "whoosh", and Jingyang already had the whip in his hand.
"Who are you?!" she shouted.
But then she noticed the emblems on the black-clad man's arms.
"Eagle Guard?"
"Why are you here?"
She had seen this pattern of emblem on people around Dota before. Jing Kangshan told her that it was the king's special secret guard, named "Eagle Guard".
Why are the people from Kedota here?
The man in black knelt on one knee in front of Jingyang's horse, his attitude was quite polite, and he only said,
"Princess Wang, this is a restricted area. No one except the king is allowed to enter without permission. Please stay away."
Jingyang looked towards the house on the mountain. This was actually the king's place? What was it used for?
Although she was confused, the Eagle Guards had already warned her, so she naturally could not trespass.
So she nodded, turned around and rode away.
