The Unlovable Little Princess
Two months later.
Yuan Kingdom, the northern border.
The four cities torn away from the Lin Kingdom were completely incorporated into the northern territory.
There were no major conflicts or disputes in the past two months. The panic and fear in the hearts of people outside the northern border eased, and gradually, they did what they had to do again, just like before.
Only in the north, there was no slackness at all.
"Your Highness Changsheng came here alone?!!!"
A scream suddenly broke the tranquility of the early morning.
A man sitting on the chair suddenly raised his hand to cover his heart, his facial features distorted with horror, as if he would die in the next moment.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong—"
A person nearby paced anxiously, clapping his hands, and said in a panic:
"We were wrong. He came here without anyone. He's definitely not someone who will stay quiet and obey orders!"
"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do..." He walked more and more hurriedly, "It's obvious that it's impossible to keep an eye on him. What if he runs around everywhere..."
At this time, the old man stroking his long beard raised his hand, felt a headache and said, "Don't go." He was dizzy and had a headache from walking so much.
"I'm so anxious!" The man stopped walking, turned around, and said, "What do you think we should do now? Should we just kidnap him and send him back to the capital?"
——It will definitely anger the two princes, and the Rong family might also be dissatisfied.
This is nothing short of a provocation.
If they really dare to do this, ten heads each will not be enough to chop off!
If I had known this earlier, if I had known this earlier...
He felt extremely regretful.
If I had known this, I should have declined long ago before the person showed up!
"Isn't that what a spoiled child looks like?"
One of them twirled his ring, sneered, and said, "Before encountering any problems, they're so bold they're practically turning the world upside down. Only when they encounter something adults can't solve do they become afraid. What's so strange about that?"
"So what if it's not strange?" The man continued to pace back and forth anxiously. "The question is what should we do!"
It's fine if she's a little pampered and can be treated well.
But this little princess who traveled thousands of miles to the North alone, no matter how you look at her, doesn't look like she can stay put!
If things don't go your way, you might end up running off somewhere else...
At that time, they will all be buried with him and die to atone for their sins!
"Well, just be at ease."
In the corner, the bored Meng Qiyun was so annoyed by his nagging that he couldn't help but speak.
Suddenly, the man who was pacing back and forth stopped, turned his head and asked, "Did Shuang Fu...predict this?"
Others also turned to look.
Meng Shuangfu didn't answer his question. She smiled shyly and said, "It doesn't matter what His Highness Changsheng does."
"How is this not important?"
The man clapped his hands, frowning, and said, "If she's well-behaved, we can just find her somewhere else to stay. But she's making such a fuss and running away at the drop of a hat, and we can't just lock her up. What if she disappears while we're not paying attention?"
But don’t say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can distinguish right from wrong and will not wrongly accuse them. This kind of talk is just like “I’m just saying it casually and you can just listen to it casually.”
There's no way anyone would take it seriously.
By then, not to mention that His Highness Changsheng was indeed lost in the northern border, His Highness the Crown Prince would be furious and directly blame them. Even if it wasn't that serious, His Highness Changsheng and His Highness the Crown Prince would be unhappy and would not let them off easily.
What a hot potato...
Everyone commented secretly.
Wouldn't it be better for him to stay in the capital? Why did he come to the northern border to cause trouble for no reason?
Meng Qiyun glanced at them casually and said in a relaxed tone, "Isn't Prince Huai still here?"
Everyone was thinking about this.
"Even if the sky falls, there's still Prince Huai to hold it up." Meng Qiyun said with a smile, "Compared to us, Prince Huai is the one who is closest to His Highness Changsheng, isn't he?"
His face lit up, and he grinned and said:
"If even the Prince of Huai can't keep an eye on the situation, how can he count on us soldiers who guard the borders and shed our blood every day?
"If there's any blame to be placed, then most of it should be directed at Prince Huai."
and……
Everyone's eyes flickered.
From ancient times to the present, it was those in the north who fought against the Lin Kingdom. What did the King of Huai, who was transferred from the southwest, know?
Of course, it can only be used to look after children.
Everyone's mouth corners raised.
So, Prince Huai, if you are intelligent and sensible, just take good care of the child.
Keep a close eye on him. If he lets him escape, it will be all his fault.
You don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but if you can't even take care of a child, you will really let down the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Meng Qiyun looked at the smiles on everyone's faces, and his own smile also grew wider. He said:
"Then let's go... and bring His Highness Changsheng here."
"Your Highness Changsheng cannot be allowed to wander around the northern border alone. It's very dangerous."
…………
In the main seat in the lobby.
The girl was wearing a long red and beige embroidered dress. She was twirling an exquisite round fan in her hand boredly, covering the lower half of her face from time to time.
Her face was indifferent.
As she approached the northern border, she had already changed out of her simple white clothes and into one set of exquisite dresses after another.
Arrogant and extravagant!
In the lobby, several people looked at her calmly and lowered their heads.
In the gray shadows, they pouted, angry but not daring to speak.
However, Jiang Jingyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, seemed to be unaware of anything. He was twirling a round fan in his hand and looking down.
The tassels hanging down from both sides of the round fan fluttered and collided gently, making crisp sounds.
Really...
They didn't like her wearing exquisite and luxurious clothes at this time and place.
Jiang Jingyuan also didn't like wearing complicated clothes when she was alone outside.
But if she really appeared alone in the North in white clothes, they would unconsciously look down on and hate her, and would definitely catch her and give her a good lecture on why she "should not come to the North".
It's good like this now.
She was blunt and outspoken.
They lowered their heads, dared not speak out their anger, and were even more respectful.
If you are weak, he will be strong; if you are strong, he will be weak. If you advance, I will retreat; if I advance, you will retreat... These are the rules and principles that must be followed in this world.
I'm fighting alone, charging forward recklessly and without any skills... I hope I can really stand up and become the winner in the end.
If possible, no one would want to spend energy considering this and that, and no one would not yearn for the beauty and freedom of following one's heart.
"Your Highness Changsheng."
In the silence, someone suddenly spoke, and he looked up cautiously at the person in the main seat.
After all, that delicate red dress was too scorching, more dazzling than blood, like sunlight, stinging everyone's eyes, and those who looked at her unconsciously retreated and dodged.
The man suppressed his fear, lowered his eyes, and asked respectfully, "I'm afraid His Highness Prince Huai won't be back soon. Would you like to go and rest first?"
Jiang Jingyuan heard this without looking at him or saying anything.
She slowly turned the round fan in her hand, with her eyes lowered as if she was thinking about this question.
On both sides of her front, several people had cold sweat dripping down their foreheads, but they didn't dare to urge her.
The lobby was quiet.
moment.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes and said calmly, "Please invite the Marquis and the adults from the Northern Territory to come."
The voice was clear and seemed to carry a cold and icy air.
When these words were spoken, several people were stunned for a moment.
What are they trying to do... The expressions on several people's faces couldn't help but turn ugly.
Could it be that he is getting impatient and is going to lose his temper?
Several people hesitated.
The next moment, an indifferent gaze swept across their heads!
An invisible pressure suddenly descended upon them, and a chilling chill instantly crept up their backs.
Several people trembled suddenly, jumped up from their chairs, and responded hurriedly and shrilly: "Yes, yes! I will go and ask the adults to come over!" Then they turned around and rushed out of the hall.
In the back, Jiang Jingyuan raised his teacup expressionlessly and took a sip.
…………
morning.
In just a cup of tea, more than a dozen figures gathered in the lobby.
"Your Highness Changsheng."
Everyone saluted solemnly to the figure in the main seat.
Jiang Jingyuan nodded slightly.
One of them stepped forward and said, "The Marquis is still comforting the soldiers and won't be back today."
Jiang Jingyuan didn't react much and just nodded.
Seeing that she called people but didn't say anything, everyone frowned subconsciously and became more unhappy.
At the back of the crowd, Meng Qiyun winked at someone next to him.
The man immediately took a step forward, raised his head, and opened his mouth with a look of confusion and dissatisfaction:
"Your Highness Changsheng, as soon as you arrived in the Northern Territory, you summoned several of your subordinates. What do you want to order us to do?"
Jiang Jingyuan said nothing, but lowered his eyes to look at the round fan in his hand.
The dissatisfaction on that person's face gradually turned into anger, and he raised his voice anxiously and angrily and said:
"Your Highness, please speak directly to me if you have any instructions. I and your humble servants can accompany you in your quarrel, but the soldiers at the border are still waiting for you, my Lords!"
This is to see whether she is easy to control and how to control her.
No matter how delicate a person is in the capital, if she comes to the northern border alone, she will only be rolled into a ball and flattened into a dough!
How dare he come here without anyone... Everyone sneered in their hearts, with contempt and disdain in their eyes.
The Crown Prince has to look after the entire territory of Yuan State alone. How careful can he be?
There is always a time to turn your eyes away!
"oh."
Suddenly, the girl in the main seat spoke slowly and said casually: "Then you can go."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's mouth curled up.
——That’s all.
Are you angry about this?
But I can't even fight back against this little bit of grievance, and I can only sulk by myself?
People won't indulge her.
There was a rustling sound, and they answered "yes" loudly, then turned around and started to leave.
But the next moment——
Everyone stopped suddenly and turned to look.
At the main seat, the girl in an exquisite pink dress held a round fan in one hand and casually spread out the other.
A palm-sized water mirror was suspended above her palm.
The vortex above the water mirror was spinning rapidly, and nothing special could be seen.
However, everyone could sense the terrifying and complex aura spreading outward from the vortex!
Magical instruments, elixirs, talismans...
Lots and lots of magical instruments, elixirs, and talismans!!
Everyone turned around instantly and looked at her, their pupils trembling violently.
Jiang Jingyuan raised his eyes, tilted his head, and looked at them indifferently.
With a "thump", everyone knelt down, kowtowed, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness Changsheng, please calm down. We were so anxious about the soldiers on the battlefield that we lost our minds. We are willing to accept the punishment. Please calm down, Your Highness!"
Jiang Jingyuan's face remained indifferent as he looked at them without any sadness or joy.
In front of me, a man banged his head against the ground, raised his head, and said anxiously and panickedly:
"No matter how Your Highness wants to punish me, I dare not complain.
"It's just that the soldiers in the north have guarded the border for Yuan Kingdom and fought on the battlefield for many years. Even if they haven't made any great achievements, they haven't done anything wrong!
"I beg Your Highness Changsheng not to vent your anger on the soldiers in the northern border—!!"
Everyone kowtowed and said sadly:
"I beg Your Highness Changsheng not to vent your anger on the soldiers in the northern border—!"
It was obvious that they wanted to intimidate her, but now she is being portrayed as the villain.
Jiang Jingyuan turned his outstretched left hand, waved away the water mirror, and retracted his hand.
She sat calmly in the main seat, gently waving the round fan in her right hand, and looked at them calmly with her pair of dark eyes.
"Your Highness Changsheng!!!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned red with anger.
"Your Highness Changsheng, this is not the time to be petty!!!"
One of them suddenly stood up, his face distorted with horror, and screamed angrily:
"How long has it been since the capital allocated resources to our northern border?! Now we are asking Your Highness to send resources so that we can compensate our soldiers as soon as possible. Your Highness, what is your intention?!"
The others didn't say anything, just stared at the girl in front of them.
His eyes were fierce, as if he was looking at the enemy who had killed his father and mother. The overwhelming hatred in them almost turned into a tangible huge wave.
I wish I could swallow up that delicate red figure in an instant!
Jiang Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, his dark eyes looking back without dodging or avoiding.
She came to deliver resources, so why did she become an enemy who was trying to steal their resources in their eyes?
That's really funny.
