Chapter 1257 House Arrest
Chapter 1257 House Arrest
Ling'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, "Princess, it's true that the couple is talented and beautiful, but childhood sweethearts are not a good match. He is so old and you are so young, you two can't be childhood sweethearts, and it's even more outrageous to say that you two are childhood sweethearts."
"Ling'er, why doesn't he change his mind?"
Ling'er shook her head helplessly and said, "When he was a minister of Dalang in the past, he had no intention of becoming a royal consort. Now that he is the ruler of a region, it is even more impossible for you. Princess, Ling'er advises you to stop having unrequited love for him and forget about him!"
"Forget him?" Princess Zhuoyang's tears, which had just stopped, started flowing again.
At this moment, a sigh came from the beams: "Poor thing!"
Princess Zhuoyang knew that the attendant had arrived. She looked up at the attendant on the beam and said, "You have come to see my joke too."
The follower jumped down from the beam, holding wine and meat as usual. Ling'er was already accustomed to the arrival of followers, so she turned around and made tea for this man.
The attendant said in a slightly mocking tone: "I never knew that Princess Zhuoyang is such a loyal woman!"
"That depends on who the other person is!" She, Princess Zhuoyang, has only fallen in love with this man so far, and her heart is as firm as a rock and has never changed.
"I heard that you will be married to the Southern Yan Kingdom soon. Why are you still thinking about Wan Lianxing? Isn't it a waste to shed tears for him?"
"I am crying about my past with Wan Lianxing."
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, what's the past between you two? How could I not know? Stop being so conceited. Just cry about your future."
"What's wrong with the future?"
"You don't know that the king of the Southern Yan Kingdom you are going to marry is so ugly!"
"have you seen?"
"I've seen everything as a follower! That guy is ugly, but he has no hair on his head. He has to wear a hat to cover it up all the time!"
Princess Zhuoyang swallowed back her tears in an instant. She said in disbelief, "You are not lying to me, are you? How can a king of a country look so shabby? I don't want to marry such a person."
"Hahahaha, hahahaha, you wishful thinking. You will just be a concubine when you go there. There are countless concubines like you in the king's harem, and you are still here looking down on them. You should think about how you are going to live in the future!"
Princess Zhuoyang made a very bold decision upon hearing this. She said to Ling'er who came over with tea, "Ling'er, go pack your things quickly."
"Princess, what are you packing for?"
"I want to leave here. I absolutely cannot marry the ugly bastard from the Southern Yan Country."
"Princess, please stop making trouble. The emperor has sent so many guards to guard our palace because he is afraid that you will run away. We can't get out. Even if a fly flies out, we have to check whether it is male or female."
Princess Zhuoyang's impulsive personality was really unbearable for her maid, but she was used to it. At first, she tried hard to persuade the princess, but Princess Zhuoyang didn't believe it at all. She raised her hand and pointed at the attendant and said, "Isn't he coming in? How can I not give it a try?"
Ling'er's big watery eyes were already as big as copper bells. Who was this follower? He came and went without a trace in the true sense. No one could catch him, and no one could trap him. That's why he would come to the imperial kitchen in the palace from time to time to find food and drink. "Princess, this man is using Qinggong. We won't go back."
"This princess also has kung fu."
Ling'er had a bitter face. Her princess's kung fu was so poor that she had practiced for more than ten years without any improvement. If she went out, she would be caught and brought back. However, as a little maid, she did not dare to tell the truth. Under the coercion of Princess Zhuoyang, Ling'er had to pack two packages. She carried one on each shoulder. The two of them, wearing eunuch uniforms, walked out cautiously. After an incense stick of time, the two were sent back by the guards.
Her father also ordered that she was not allowed to step out of the palace before she got married.
Princess Zhuoyang sat on the chair and said, "My father is so cruel. He actually made me marry an ugly girl. How could he treat me like this? This is no different from house arrest!" Her heart sank completely.
Ling Er was frightened and said quickly: "Princess, the emperor has been very troubled recently and has never smiled all day. Please don't make him angry again!"
"Is my situation going to get any worse? What could be more painful than losing your freedom?"
"Princess, you are the most favored princess. If the emperor is happy one day, maybe... maybe..." Ling'er couldn't say any more when she said this. The princess would be married soon, and this palace of the princess would only be watched more and more closely. As for freedom, she would probably never have it again.
Princess Zhuoyang's face had long lost its color. "Ling'er, I know my situation well. As for my father's favor, it is so far away and unreal..." Princess Zhuoyang sighed deeply. "Now I, Princess Zhuoyang, am just a chess piece. No one cares if I live or die."
"Princess, don't be so pessimistic. Maybe... maybe..."
Princess Zhuoyang sneered, "Maybe things will turn around? How could there be a turn around? They are afraid that something unexpected will happen on my side, causing trouble between the two countries."
Ling'er wiped away her tears in distress when she heard this, but she attributed Princess Zhuoyang's unfortunate experience to Wan Lianxing, "It's all Wan Lianxing's fault that he misled my princess. Without him, my princess would have found another prince consort long ago, and would not have to marry pitifully to the Southern Yan Kingdom!"
"You little girl are really unreasonable. If we really trace the root of this, it's all your master's fault. Wan Lianxing was harmed by your master, and he didn't even complain. Why do you blame him? Marriage is a transaction, and you all know who caused all this." The speaker was a follower.
Princess Zhuoyang heard this and suddenly looked at the attendants who had not yet left. She said anxiously, "Attendant, I have countless gold and silver treasures here. As long as you take me out of this palace, you can choose whatever you want!"
The follower looked at him as if he was a fool. "Hahahaha, hahahaha, do you think I am someone who can be moved by money? Use silver on me. No matter how much silver you have, it will not be enough. I am priceless!"
"Since you are not motivated by money, then help me get me out!"
"You and I are no relatives, why should I help you?" The follower put down the tea bowl in his hand and prepared to leave.
"Follower, you are so heartless. You haven't drunk enough of my tea in the past two years!"
The attendant rummaged through his possessions, then pulled out a small gold ingot and threw it on the table, "This is tea money!"
"As expected of a member of the Wan Lian Xing, they all have the same moral character and are equally ruthless."
