The team set off and headed towards Mingyuan in a mighty manner.
*****
Mingyuan, inside the palace.
"The tribal princess will arrive in the capital within half a month, but you want to go and suppress the bandits at this critical moment?" The queen glared at Yuan Mo, her expression full of disapproval.
Yuan Mo's gentle face was covered with a smile. He said, "The robbers who appeared in neighboring Jizhou are most likely from Japan. If they can bring back some useful information, it will be much more important than my child's wedding."
This was his biggest concession.
"Well, mother knows that you are still thinking about that destined woman in your heart, but the current situation is serious. Marrying the tribal princess is the best solution. If you feel uncomfortable, mother does not want to force you..." The queen wiped away her tears.
She only has this one child, how can she not want him to live a happy life? But the Japanese country is eyeing her covetously, how can she live in peace if she doesn't find a way to deal with it?
When Mo'er returned from the temple, besides the worries about the country, his heart was filled with a woman. From the moment he came back, he never stopped looking for that woman.
Forcing him to marry the tribal princess was indeed excessive, but considering Ming Yuan's future, this was the best way...
Yuan Mo shook his head. His expression was gentle but aloof.
"Once the external threat is resolved and I find the woman of my dreams, I only hope that my mother will let me go and allow me to become a commoner."
He just wanted to be with the one he loved, so when the prairie princess came, he would never set foot in her room!
Yuan Mo said no more. He turned and left, his back cold.
Looking at her child's resolute back, the queen finally shed tears.
She murmured, "Mo'er still hates me. It was me and Your Majesty who forced him to be engaged. He actually doesn't even want the position of Crown Prince anymore."
The nanny beside her advised: "Your Majesty, the prince is your own child. He is just saying this in anger. You don't have to worry. His anger is only temporary. Which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines?
"I have heard that the princess of that tribe is as beautiful as a bright pearl. The prince will surely be delighted to see her. What man doesn't love a beautiful woman?"
The queen smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid he won't even come to see me."
At night, in the Prince's Palace.
Yuan Mo stood in front of the desk, with portraits in front of him.
The woman in the painting is dressed in pink and has an unparalleled appearance, especially her eyes, which seem to be filled with shimmering light and are extremely moving.
These portraits were all painted by him. The experience that night was like a dream, and the beauty's appearance was deeply engraved in his mind.
At this time, a black-clad guard flew into the hall through the window and knelt down.
"Take all these portraits to Jinluyi and ask the Pavilion Master to do his best to find the person," Yuan Mo personally rolled up the portraits one by one.
Jinluyi is the largest intelligence network in Beijing, and he manages it behind the scenes.
The black-clad guard took the scroll into his arms and flew away.
Yuan Mo looked at the night outside the window with a gloomy expression.
Who is she?
Where is she now?
Will she think of herself?
If I find her, will she be willing to be with me?
Would she dislike herself now?
Just thinking about this made Yuan Mo feel extremely confused. He simply stood up and walked out of the hall and immediately set off for Jizhou.
I haven't even seen the prairie princess, so she shouldn't blame me, right?
--------------------
As for Jiang Zhili, her journey was relatively smooth, and the team arrived at the border town of Mingyuan after seven days.
This is a border town bordering the tribe, with two armies guarding the surrounding area. Except for the patrolling soldiers, the people and civilians of the two countries are relatively harmonious.
The news of the marriage between the crown prince of the current dynasty and the princess of the tribe had long been known throughout the country. When the wedding procession arrived at the border town, many people were waiting there, wanting to catch a glimpse of the princess's face.
"I heard that the tribal princess is extremely beautiful and would be a perfect match for our Crown Prince!"
"Tsk, the women on the grassland are unrestrained and beautiful. I think they are much hotter than the women in the Central Plains. I was lucky enough to visit the tribe a few years ago, and it really opened my eyes!"
"That grassland girl is unrestrained and fierce, I'm afraid you can't subdue her, hehe..."
"Well, I can't subdue him. Our Crown Prince is different!"
"If I could just see the princess's unparalleled beauty, even death would be worth it!!"
This is the border town of Mingyuan. The people there are very curious about the tribe. Many people have seen the women in the tribe. They are very different from the women of Mingyuan, especially their fiery temperament, which is enough to leave a deep impression on people and also attract a lot of attention from the people of the border town.
These people are now crowded at the city gate, staring at the wedding procession, trying to get a glimpse of the princess's true appearance from inside.
At the city gate.
Jiang Zhili was helped down from the sedan by Achan, and the Wolf Lord, who had been following the sedan, also got off his horse.
He looked at his precious daughter, his throat choking.
"Xiao Li, take care of yourself!"
When he returns to the grassland, he will send people to the capital of Mingyuan to do business and develop his power, and also spread news to the tribe.
Originally, he disdained to do such a thing, but now for Xiao Li, he didn't care.
Jiang Zhili nodded and looked at the large group of betrothal gifts and the followers sent by the Wolf Lord. A smile appeared in her eyes: "With these, who dares to touch me?"
This time, the Wolf Lord sent her three hundred followers, including not only maids and old women, but also guards and servants, and there were also some talented people mixed in. It was indeed impossible to bully her.
"If that day really comes, you won't have to be afraid of anything. Even if it takes thousands of miles, your father will come to support you!" The Wolf Lord said in an extremely serious tone.
Jiang Zhili was his only precious daughter, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life for her.
"Thank you, father," Jiang Zhili's tone was choked with sobs.
The Wolf Lord comforted her again before riding away.
The general standing by stepped forward and said, "Princess, please get into the sedan chair. Once you enter the border town, you will be in Mingyuan's territory. Princess, you can stay in the inn and rest up."
They spent the past seven days on the grassland. There were no inns along the way, and it was even deserted. The tribe on horseback moved in a secretive manner, which was very different from Mingyuan.
Jiang Zhili got back into the sedan chair.
She was in a pretty good mood. It would take about seven days to get from the border town to the capital. Thinking that she would meet Yuan Mo in seven days, she was looking forward to it.
She did not regret going to the Buddhist temple alone a month ago. If she had not gone, it would not be her who could cure Yuan Mo's emotional illness, and Yuan Mo would probably have to stay in the temple forever.
There is no possibility for the two to meet each other in this life.
So that night, she had to go...
Another seven days passed.
The wedding procession finally arrived in the capital.
Jiang Zhili lifted the curtain of the sedan window and saw the wedding procession gathered at the city gate. The person standing at the front on horseback was not Yuan Mo.
But he was a handsome young man.
According to what the general said, Yuan Mo should be guarding the city gate and welcoming her in person.
How come I'm here now, but there's no trace of him...
[Yuan·Zuosi·Mo: Even if I die, I will never set foot in the princess's room!]
