Murong Qingcheng was in a good mood after meeting her family. She didn't need to go to Chuxiu Palace, so she just lay on the bed and rested. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the sixth princess, Jin Yuting, arrived.
"Sister, does your wound still hurt?" Jin Yuting asked as soon as she entered the door. Her concern was obvious.
Qingcheng sat up. I just feel a little sleepy." Because she had used up all her strength last night and was injured in the morning, she felt tired.
"Yesterday, Imperial Brother was assassinated. Today, the entire palace is looking for the assassin. A guard came to inquire and I told him the truth.”
Qingcheng shook her head." No, it'll be fine if I make it clear."”
"Big sister Qingcheng, you're really brave. If it was me who was scratched by Xue 'er, I'm afraid I would have to lie in bed crying for three days and three nights.”Jin Yuting said sincerely.
"Princess is not that delicate." Qingcheng said.
"Sister, have you heard about the arrival of a princess from the Xuezhen Kingdom?" Jin Yuting suddenly asked.”
"The princess of the Xuezhen Kingdom? Oh, I remember now. Female Official Chen seemed to have mentioned it before. Why?”
"What's wrong? Do you really want her to come?" Jin Yuting said," She is a princess. Although the Xuezhen Country is not as good as the Jinliu Country, she is still a princess of a noble country. I heard that her looks are also extremely outstanding. If she gets the favor of her royal brother, Sister Qingcheng, what will you do?"”
"So that's what you're worried about." Qingcheng smiled." It's your brother's right to love whoever he wants. We can't interfere."”
"No, I have to talk to my brother and make you the Crown Princess. That princess of the Xuezhen Kingdom can go to hell!”Jin Yuting was impulsive.
Qingcheng smiled at Jin Yuting's childish reaction.""I appreciate your intentions. However, although you are his royal sister, it is better for the Crown Prince to make his own decisions about this kind of love affair.”
Jin Yuting thought for a moment before saying,"That's true. I believe that Imperial Brother is such a resourceful person. He definitely wouldn't choose an idiot to be the Crown Princess."”
Qingcheng smiled again." Why are you talking about him like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell on you?"”
"I'm not afraid. Imperial Older Brother dotes on me very much. Don't look at how cold he is usually.”
Qingcheng felt something.”
"It should be. We grew up in the Imperial Palace. Although we had a luxurious life and endless servants, we always felt that something was missing in our hearts. Sometimes, I thought that I might as well live as freely as a little bird.”
Qingcheng looked at the sixth princess, who was still a child.""So, do you think you will be happy as the Crown Princess?”
"That's different. The Crown Princess came from outside the palace, and the good times of the past ten years were the best memories. Moreover, Imperial Brother did not eat people. If he treated a woman sincerely, she would definitely be happy. However, Imperial Brother had said that he was not sincere.”
No sincerity? Qingcheng's heart skipped a beat. Was there no true man she could entrust her life to? Thinking about it, being the Crown Princess was simply too pitiful.
The two of them were chatting when Qing Feng came in and said,""Miss, Female Official Chen has ordered the palace maids to report that each of the women to be selected tomorrow will hand in a hand-made handicraft, painting, embroidery, etc.”
"I know. Let me think about what to do.”Qingcheng looked at the sixth princess and suddenly had an idea.""I got it. I'll make a paper kite!"
"Paper kite? Sister knows how to make paper kites!" Jin Yuting asked in surprise.
"Of course, I know a lot. If you like it, I'll give you one tomorrow and make it into a bird pattern, okay?”
Jin Yuting nodded repeatedly." That's great. Although there are many craftsmen in the palace, they only know how to make complicated and expensive objects. I said I wanted a paper kite, but they said that this kind of thing is not suitable for a noble princess to play with. Hmph, I'm so angry!"”
Qingcheng only smiled and didn't reply. Although the princess's status was noble, there were some happy things that the princess could not understand. In comparison, her parents were much more open-minded. The happiness of her childhood filled her heart. As long as she closed her eyes, she would be able to remember all the things in the past. She was at ease and comfortable!
After the princess returned to the palace, Murong Qingcheng started to prepare the tools and materials for making paper kites. Qingfeng and Mingyue were naturally the best helpers. When they were in the palace, they often made paper kites for fun.
Qingcheng carefully drew the image of the great roc, while Qingfeng and Mingyue cut the bamboo into suitable strips for future use. When everything was ready, Qingcheng began to make paper kites. This kind of work required both care and patience. If she wasn't careful, all her previous efforts would go to waste.
Before the sky turned dark, Qingcheng finally made two paper kites. One of them was naturally going to be given to someone.
"Miss, since it's still early, why don't we give it a try?”Qing Feng suggested.
"That's good too. If you can't fly, you can still adjust."”She smoothed out the long silk thread and wrapped it around the freshly made wooden shaft.
There was a long and wide corridor outside Changrui Palace. The breeze was blowing gently, and it was a good time to fly the paper kites. Qing Feng took the initiative to take on the role of running while Qingcheng was responsible for releasing the paper kites.
"Miss, you can let go now!" Qingfeng said as he ran.
"I'll release it!" Qingcheng smiled and let go of the paper kite in her hand.
Ming Yue clapped her hands and shouted,"Wow! It's going to fly, it's going to fly!"
The giant roc began to sway for a while before slowly flying up and gradually stabilizing. Not long after, it flew away from the high palace walls and began to soar at a low altitude.
Qingcheng looked up at Zhiyuan and said happily,""Hehe, our paper kites are flying very high!”
After flying for half an incense stick of time, a gust of wind suddenly blew. The paper kite swayed and the string suddenly broke.
"Miss, I don't know where the paper kite fell.”Qingfeng said anxiously.
"It's fine. Look carefully." Qingcheng said.
Ming Yue frowned,"Please don't fall into the palace of the Empress or the Princess."”If they made any master unhappy, they would have to bear the consequences again.
"Let's split up and search." Qingcheng instructed.
The sisters dispersed.
Qingcheng determined the approximate location where the paper kite had fallen and walked down the corridor. After walking past a few palaces, she suddenly heard the low sound of a zither. This voice was mournful and plaintive, as if it was narrating something. Out of curiosity, she stood at the entrance of Yingfu Palace. The sound of the zither came from inside.
Yesterday, she, Xue Lingwu, had arrived at the palace of the Golden Gilt Country. She was tired and sad, and she could only stay with the zither. It was already sorrowful to leave their homeland. What was even more sorrowful was to leave their loved ones and come to this unfamiliar land to become the sacrifice of a marriage alliance. She had several sisters, and none of them were married. She did not understand why it had to be her?
Her father had told her that Prince Jin Yuqi of the Jinliu Country was a hero and that his woman must be one in a million. Xue Lingwu was the most beautiful woman in the Xuezhen Kingdom. However, there was already a man in her heart, and she could not tolerate the Crown Prince!
The zither music became faster and faster, and more and more agitated. Xue Lingwu wished she could break her fingers. Only when her fingers bled and hurt could she temporarily forget her sorrow.
Following the sound of the zither, Qingcheng saw a young and beautiful woman playing the zither with tears in her eyes. She looked so sad. A similarly young woman stood behind her. She should be a maid.
The maid couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to hold the princess's hand.""Princess, please have some self-respect!"
"Self-respect? Ruyi, why can't I feel pain? His finger was already torn, so why didn't it hurt at all?”
"Princess!" Ruyi called out.
Xue Lingwu continued to cry. Did you miss me? Did you forget to eat or sleep because you missed me?”
"Princess, don't think about him anymore. Forget about him. You're now the candidate for the Jinliu Country!”Ruyi's face turned red.”
"If you hear me, then so be it. I don't care.”"For a person whose heart has died, death might be a release!" Xue Lingwu said resentfully.”
"Princess, don't think like that!" Ruyi panicked and said. You are the princess of the Xuezhen Kingdom, the emissary entrusted by the Emperor. Even if you don't think for yourself, you have to think for the Xuezhen Kingdom.”
"For the sake of the Xuezhen Kingdom?" Xue Lingwu asked blankly.”
"That's right." Ruyi said," The Jinliu Country is stronger than Xuezhen Country in terms of wealth and war power. If you become the Crown Princess, the Xuezhen Country will not be afraid of being bullied by any other country. Even if you can't become the Crown Princess, it's good to be a concubine. There's a saying among the people that can't be put on the table. You have to look at the master to beat a dog."”
"Then do I have to sacrifice my love?”Xue Lingwu cried out in agitation,""I don't want it, I don't want it! I don't want to be a princess, I don't want to be a crown princess! As long as I am with him, I will only be his princess.”
Ruyi hugged the princess." Princess, don't be silly. There's no turning back. Now you have no choice but to compromise!"”
Qingcheng was secretly impressed by this maid who was so righteous. It turned out that the princess of the Xuezhen Kingdom already had someone in her heart.
"Who is it? Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on us!" When Ruyi saw an unfamiliar woman enter, she immediately stood up, looking very guarded.
"Qingcheng, please excuse me. I'm only here to look for Zhiyuan. I came in when I heard the zither music. I didn't mean to offend you, but I didn't hear what you guys said earlier.”Qingcheng bowed to them.
The princess cried out in tears." It doesn't matter if you hear it. Just go ahead and complain. It's best if you kill me!"”
"Princess!" Ruyi was helpless.
Xue Lingwu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.""Ruyi, don't be afraid. This princess is not a spineless person.”
Qingcheng saw that there were eagles and snakes embroidered on her silk handkerchief. It looked like some kind of totem.
Ruyi sighed and looked around the courtyard. Sure enough, she saw a paper kite with a broken string hanging from a tree. She walked over but couldn't reach it. Qingcheng couldn't use her qinggong in front of them, so she could only find a long bamboo pole and catch the paper kite.
