Chapter 1489: Preparation
"Royal brother, is there anything else you would like to say to me?"
Lianyi stopped and asked with a smile after the other party came quickly.
"Sister Huang, are you really going to Luo Panguo?"
"Of course it's true. If I don't go, you will. Do you think I have a choice?"
Ripple asked rhetorically.
"But my father is not my son."
Qian Zhaoning said with gritted teeth.
"But only if you are the direct descendant of the queen, your status and meaning are different. Only if you go, Luo Panguo will feel at ease."
Lianyi told the truth. In fact, she knew that her brother knew it very well, but she just didn't want to admit it.
"But Sister Huang, if your identity is exposed, it will only..."
"worse!"
Ripple took over what the other party left unfinished.
"yes."
"But can I choose?"
Ripple put away the smile on her face and asked lightly.
"I'll go talk to my father and mother."
The young man seemed to have made a lot of determination. After all, he did not want his beautiful sister to suffer for him.
"No, there is no need to do such useless work."
Ripple waved her hand and refused.
"But."
"You and I both know what the queen is thinking. There is no need to make her unhappy. At least if I follow her wishes, she can give me some help."
After finishing speaking, Lianyi looked at the small box held by Cuizhu, then patted Gan Zhaoning on the shoulder and said:
"Go back and learn your "National Policy" well. Sister Huang hopes that after you inherit the throne, you will no longer be aggrieved and let the royal heirs be used as hostages."
After Ripple finished speaking, he took his servants back to his palace.
Qian Zhaoning looked at the eldest sister's retreating figure, feeling depressed and uncomfortable. He clenched his fists and stood for a while before turning around and returning to his palace at the reminder of his personal eunuch.
After Lianyi returned to her palace, she asked Cuizhen to count the box of gold and silver jewelry given to her by the queen, and register it for future reference.
After reading Cuizhen's registration book, Lianyi raised a sneer on her lips. Her queen mother was really prudent. The things she gave her looked expensive, but in fact they were all jewelry made in the palace, with the royal seal on them. , to put it bluntly, it cannot be bought or sold privately. You can only wear it yourself or use it as a reward or give it away, but it cannot be cashed out.
Knowing that she needed hard currency like gold and silver when she went to Luo Panguo, she gave these things as gifts. It seemed that she had a motherly heart, but in fact it was just to look good.
Lianyi was already leaving, so she didn't care about this and directly told Cuizhen:
"Cui Zhen, take apart all these jewelry, sell the gems, pearls, and corals in bulk, and convert them into gold and silver so that I can carry them with you."
Cuizhen was stunned for a moment, and when she found the princess staring at her, she immediately nodded in agreement.
"Cui Zhu, people from the Xuan Internal Affairs Office are here to sew some men's clothes for me to make it easier for me to travel."
"Yes, princess."
Cuizhu went to the door to convey a message to the little eunuch who was running errands, and then returned.
Lianyi picked up an unfinished book beside the soft couch and started to read. After turning a page, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked Cuizhu:
"Is Fulin back?"
"Back to Princess, Eunuch Fulin should be back this afternoon."
"When he comes back, let him come to see me."
"Yes, princess."
Before Lianyi had finished reading two pages of the book, people from the Weaving Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came, measured the size around Lianyi, and then left after the princess had chosen the fabric and style.
When Lianyi woke up from his nap, Fulin was already waiting in the outer hall.
"Princess, Eunuch Fulin is already waiting outside."
"Okay, help me freshen up and change clothes, and ask Fulin to wait for me in the study."
"Yes, princess."
Cuizhu went out to deliver the message and quickly dressed up Lianyi.
Ripple met Fulin, his personal eunuch, in the study. He was a fair-skinned and handsome young man with a pleasing face. He was Ripple's chosen follower and had been with her for ten years.
"Fu Lin came to see the princess. Thank you very much for allowing me to come out of the palace to pay homage to my parents."
Fulin bowed respectfully. They were the lowest servants in the palace. Without permission, they would never leave the palace. He had to be valued by the princess, so he had such an honor, so he remembered the princess' kindness in his heart. .
"Fu Lin got up and replied. Something happened during the past few days when you were not in the palace. Let Cuizhu tell you about it. I will ask you to do something later."
Ripple picked up the scented tea on the table and took a sip.
"Yes, princess."
Fulin got up and came to Cuizhu. Cuizhu didn't hide anything. He lowered his voice and told in a few words what happened in the past five days.
In fact, Fulin had heard some rumors after he came back and had a bad premonition. After listening to Cuizhu's words, he knew that his master was in trouble this time.
"Princess, you must not accept this matter."
Fulin immediately knelt down and said.
"Why?"
"Men and women are different after all. The princess is a golden person. If she goes to Luo Panguo and hangs out with a group of men, it will not only harm the princess's reputation, but also become a reason for Luo Panguo to attack Daqian."
Lianyi nodded after hearing this. A eunuch could predict the outcome, but her good mother was like a blind man, insisting on doing things that deceive others.
"You are right, so I have no plans to disguise myself as a man and go to Luo Panguo for Zhao Ning. I want to go to the country as the eldest princess of Da Gan to get married."
Lianyi said calmly.
Fulin still frowned after hearing this, feeling that this was not a good choice.
"Fu Lin, Da Qian is in trouble. As the eldest princess, I must do my part. If my marriage can bring Da Qian a short respite, it will be worth it."
"Since the princess has made a plan, the servant will naturally obey the orders. I wonder what the princess will do next?"
Fulin bowed and asked.
"Fu Lin, you want to help me with a few things, please come over here."
"Yes, princess."
Fulin took two steps forward, stood beside Lianyi with a bow, and handed his ear over.
"You first...and then do this and this, do you understand?"
"My slave understands, let's do it now."
"Avoid some people, especially the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother. You don't need to hide anything from your father."
After thinking for a while, Ripple added another sentence.
"Yes, I have taken note of it."
"Cui Zhu, give Fulin a thousand taels of silver notes."
"Yes, princess."
Cuizhu didn't know what her master was going to do, but she immediately bowed and agreed, and when Fulin left, she gave him two 500-tael silver notes.
"Thank you, Sister Cuizhu. I'll leave the palace right now and try to get it done as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."
"Eunuch Fulin, you are the princess's confidant. You should understand that both prosperity and loss will lead to loss. The princess was heartbroken by the queen and started to make plans for herself. You should pay more attention."
Cuizhu couldn't help but gave a few words of advice.
Ever since the princess cried bitterly that day, the princess has changed. She put away her former innocence, became calm and indifferent, and began to plan for herself. It is a good thing and a bad thing. This is the price of growth.
"I, Fulin, am the princess's person in life, and I will be the princess's ghost in death. I will definitely protect the princess."
"Okay, I believe you!"
Today is the birthday of the Party. Fengling wishes the great Communist Party of China everlasting prosperity, leading the Chinese people to realize national rejuvenation, and standing tall in the East forever!
