Chapter 166 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (2)
Princess Dong Meng is too arrogant. She cannot be so arrogant if she wants to be Xin Zhuyin's queen.
Xin Zhuyin has even thought about how to make Princess Dongmeng face reality after she marries into the family.
This is Lai Kingdom, not Dongmeng where she can be high and mighty.
Xin Zhuyin's confidence disappeared when he met the envoy from Dong Meng the next day.
Only the envoys from Dongmeng entered the royal court of King Lai. Their eldest princess and her dowry did not even enter the city gate.
At the banquet, the Dongmeng envoys only said from beginning to end that they were here to deliver food and money from the Dongmeng Emperor to the State of Lai.
Until the end of the banquet, when the Dongmeng envoy was about to leave, he did not mention the word princess.
They even suggested leaving Lai tomorrow because tomorrow is the New Year in Dongmeng and they are homesick and eager to go home.
Xin Zhuyin's eyes moved back and forth, not wanting to miss any expression on the faces of the Dongmeng envoys.
He wanted to see that the Dongmeng envoy was just making fun of him and forcing him to surrender.
He didn't believe that the marriage, which was already known to everyone, could be regretted.
But there was no expression on the faces of those Dongmeng envoys except sincerity.
Moreover, someone had already told Xin Zhuyin that when these envoys entered the capital, they brought nothing with them except food, silver, money and jewelry.
Now it seems that he is indeed ready to leave the King's court of Lai immediately.
What's going on? Xin Zhuyin glared fiercely at Xin Zhuyou, who was sitting next to the Dongmeng envoy.
Although Xin Zhuyou still had that expressionless look on his face, after seeing Xin Zhuyin's eyes, he opened his mouth as if he had received some instructions.
“My Lords, our King has heard that the Dongmeng New Year is a time for family reunions.
The king cannot bear to see you all traveling on the road on such a day, so we in Laiguo will prepare a family dinner for you all.
My dear friends, there is no need to rush back to your country. Just spend the New Year in our country Lai in the next few days.
It is also a special experience in the lives of several adults. "
Upon hearing this, the Dongmeng envoys immediately stood up and refused. They seemed really anxious to return home.
Before Xin Zhuyou finished speaking, he gave Xin Zhuyin a look.
Xin Zhuyin stood up after seeing the look in his eyes and said, "My lords, please don't refuse. I am ready. My lords, please don't reject my kindness."
The Dongmeng envoys did not refuse again, but their expressions clearly showed that they did not want to stay for a moment.
After the banquet, Xin Zhuyou immediately went to Xin Zhuyin's meeting table.
As soon as the man entered and had not yet stood still, he was hit by a whip in the face, but this time the whip did not hit the face, but the arm.
Xin Zhuyou remembered Shui Zhizi's words yesterday that she would inevitably be whipped, and he inexplicably felt like laughing.
Xin Zhuyou was very glad that he was not hit in the face this time, otherwise Shui Zhizi would have looked at him with that "are you stupid" look.
Xin Zhuyou knew that Shui Zhizi didn't understand why he should be loyal to such a king.
But he had no choice given the current situation of Lai State. Although Xin Zhuyin was irritable and cruel, he knew that not an inch of the country's territory could be given up, and he also wanted to make Lai State a better place.
Although not very smart, he is still able to listen to other people's suggestions.
Xin Zhuyin didn't use the whip on everyone around him.
Only he, the son of a lowly slave, had the honor of being whipped every time.
"What's going on? Why didn't Dong Meng mention the marriage? Is it because of what happened yesterday?"
He didn't let Xin Zhuyou leave with him yesterday just to let Xin Zhuyou handle the matter. Is this how Xin Zhuyou handled it?
Xin Zhuyin's anger was no longer under control, and his expression could be described as ferocious.
Xin Zhuyin was very angry and mad at Shui Zhizi for making a fuss out of nothing, when it was clearly she who rushed forward and got hurt.
Now he doesn't take the marriage seriously because of this incident. He is so hypocritical and willful.
At this moment, Xin Zhuyin completely forgot that he was still thinking about teaching Shui Zhizi a lesson and getting her to control her temper yesterday.
If Shui Zhizi treats this incident as if nothing happened, Xin Zhuyin will ignore Shui Zhizi even less in the future.
Injuring Shui Zhizi this time was an accident, but it may not be the same next time.
"No, Princess Dongmeng did not tell the Dongmeng envoy the source of the injury. It was the Dongmeng envoy who received an expedited letter from the Dongmeng Emperor a few days ago."
You didn't say anything? You're quite sensible.
"What did the letter say?" Did Emperor Dong Meng go back on his word?
That's impossible. The wedding procession has been going on for more than ten months, and the marriage is already known to everyone.
Dong Meng doesn’t want fame anymore?
“It seems that not long after Princess Dongmeng left Dongmeng, the Emperor of Dongmeng became ill because he was worried about his younger sister.
Not long after that, there seemed to be another major mobilization of the western army.
The king also knew that Princess Dongmeng was highly regarded by Dongmeng because of the war between Dongmeng and Xilin.
Now that Princess Dongmeng has left Dongmeng, the Xilin army has taken action. In addition, the Emperor of Dongmeng was reluctant to let her go, so they probably want Princess Dongmeng to return home."
Xin Zhuyin was dumbfounded, how could it be such a coincidence?
If it was the eldest princess Shui Zhizi who acted out of character, he could still leave Dong Meng's people alone.
It is already known to all that Dong Meng will not gamble with the reputation of the entire country.
But if this matter involves the war between Dongmeng and Xilin, Dongmeng will naturally not care about its reputation.
What is more important than national stability? They must want their eldest princess to return.
Is this water gardenia really so magical? It moved as soon as she walked to the west?
Xin Zhuyou looked at Xin Zhuyin's changing expression and felt a little complicated.
He probably had the same expression when he heard the Dongmeng envoy say this to him this morning.
Shocked, incredulous, worried and even a little helpless.
But think about it carefully, if there really was such a letter, Dong Meng should have told them about it the first time he saw their eldest princess.
Instead of staying in the room with their eldest princess for half an hour and then coming out to tell him the existence of the letter.
The Dongmeng envoys would not emphasize again and again in front of him that the safety and feelings of their eldest princess were the most important.
In a word, whether to reply or not is decided by their eldest princess.
After Xin Zhuyou figured everything out, he began to admire Shui Zhizi again.
He has been worried since Shui Zhizi and the doctor left his yard yesterday.
Because of the whip incident, given the king's temper, he must be resentful towards Shui Zhizi.
They already have conflicts before they even get married, and there will probably be problems in their relationship in the future.
If the king makes Shui Zhizi unhappy because of this, there will be two results.
If Shui Zhizi does not endure it, it will affect the relationship between the two countries.
If Shui Zhizi endures it, she will suffer a lot of grievances in the future.
Given Xin Zhuyin's character, he would definitely take advantage of Shui Zhizi if he saw that she was weak and could be bullied.
