Every evening is a rare free time for Gu Xin. Every few days, she takes out paper and pen to write a letter home. Although she doesn't know when the letter will be delivered, she can't help but want to write.
Just like back home, I can't keep anything to myself; I want to tell my parents, sisters, and grandparents.
She missed her uncle. She wondered if he had managed to grow all the seeds that Grandpa Zhou had given her. She wanted to eat small pumpkins, big cherries, dragon fruit, and lemonade.
She missed her fourth uncle. Had his woodworking become more refined? Had he made the little car that her mother and sister had designed together? She wasn't married yet; she was still a child. If her fourth uncle made it, she could ride it and play with it!
She missed Enzi, Renren, and her younger brothers at home.
She also misses Yiyi, Hanhan, and Xue'er.
She has so many people she wants to see!
In the past six months, she has really grown a lot taller, and her chubby face is not as chubby anymore. I wonder if they will recognize her when she goes back.
Gu Xin wiped away her tears and continued writing: Father, Mother, you often talk about me, the third sister, and Mingyue, with Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Xiaoeleven, and Xiaotwelfth. I'm afraid that when I come back, they will all have grown up and won't recognize me.
Father, Mother, tomorrow I'm going to be the princess of the Flowing Sand Kingdom to forge allies. Father, I remember everything you taught me! Mother, I remember the negotiation skills you taught me too! I will definitely succeed.
However, Father, you must tell Uncle Emperor that I might make some promises during the negotiations. You must get Uncle Emperor's support then, so that I don't become a person who goes back on his word.
Goodnight, Dad, Mom, and Sister!
...
The next morning, after Gu Xinchen finished her morning exercise, a maid came to dress her up.
As the princess of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, she represents the kingdom, so naturally she must dress up beautifully.
The maid braided all her hair into small braids and put a pure gold headband inlaid with gemstones on it, which sparkled in the sunlight.
Gu Xin is beautiful, and even though she has gotten a bit tanned recently, she is still very pretty, so the maids drew her eyebrows and applied lipstick for her.
She then took out a fitted long dress. At Gu Xin's request, the sleeves of this dress reached the wrists, unlike the long dresses of other girls, which ended at the shoulders.
She wore several bracelets on her wrists, each with a small bell that made a pleasant sound when moved.
The shoes were the kind that were easy to wear and not the kind of shoes the girls here liked to wear. There was no other way, Gu Xin thought, if words didn't work, we'll use force to subdue them. I can't let their clothes interfere with my performance.
"The princess is so beautiful!" The maid exclaimed sincerely after finishing dressing Gu Xin.
"Really?" Gu Xin raised an eyebrow and reached out to lift the maid's chin. "I remember last time when you helped me put on the armor, you said I was very handsome! Your face turned red then!"
“The princess is beautiful, she looks good in both men’s and women’s clothing, and I like her very much.” The maid still blushed.
"I love girls like you who are so sweet-talking and pretty! I'll take you back home sometime and show you even prettier girls. Let me tell you, my sister is even prettier, much prettier than me! When I was little, she was the prettiest girl in our village, and she was the prettiest girl in our village!" Gu Xin said with a smile.
