Chapter 157 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (1)
The most important thing is that with this fur coat, she no longer needs to wear three layers of clothes inside and outside.
"Is this my size?" Shui Zhizi was surprised when she just put on the clothes.
"Yes, I haven't seen any fur coats in Lai's supplies before. The Third Prince and his companions must have bought them when they went to the town in secret a few days ago."
"When we pass the next town, let General Gu buy one for each of our people." Shui Zhizi felt happier as she touched the furry coat.
"Princess, if you buy so many fur coats at once, they may not be able to afford them, and they will attract too much attention."
In fact, this coat is not available for purchase. In the north, not everyone can afford a fur coat of this quality.
Moreover, the piece of clothing on Shui Zhizi's body was made by Xin Zhuyou himself when he and his men went hunting a few days ago.
If Shui Zhizi knew that Xin Zhuyou had such skills, she would be shocked.
Shui Zhizi's eyes darkened. Yes, she was no longer Dong Meng who could get whatever she wanted.
The sadness, fear and reluctance that had been suppressed finally came flooding in like a flood at this moment, leaving Shui Zhizi breathless.
Shui Zhizi's tears fell silently, one drop after another, and she couldn't control them.
"Yingfu, I will protect you." Shui Zhizi promised Yingfu again.
"Princess, you forgot. We all followed you voluntarily. We will protect you. You still have us."
"By the way, what did Mr. Huang say?"
Mr. Huang was the agricultural talent that Shui Zhizi specifically looked for when she was in Dongmeng.
If Dong Meng wants to take the initiative in Lai State, it is far from enough to rely solely on its strong national strength.
As the eldest princess, she needs to bring the most direct benefits to the State of Lai, and it is best if these benefits are long-term and irreplaceable.
Shui Zhizi also didn't want Dong Meng to give so much food to Lai State for free every year for her.
"Mr. Huang said that the further north you go, the more barren the land becomes, and even if you plant crops, it's hard to get a harvest, but there are some solutions.
When he arrives in Lai, he will take a look at the specific conditions of the land and then report to the princess."
The master and servant were venting their anger while thinking about the future. By the time they calmed down completely, their eyes were red and swollen, so they hid in the carriage for a whole day without getting off.
We rested outdoors at night as usual, but we set out a little late the next day.
The people of Dongmeng specially prepared the best meal on the journey.
To celebrate their princess' birthday.
When everyone stood in front of Shui Zhizi to celebrate her birthday, Shui Zhizi couldn't control her tears again.
Only this time there was less fear and more courage.
Shui Zhizi always knew that everything she did was worth it.
She will help Shui Hao realize his wish and make sure Xilin will never be able to provoke Dong Meng again.
Xin Zhuyou was fortunate enough to witness this moment, and at this moment he understood why Shui Zhizi was willing to come forward and marry.
But Xin Zhuyou didn’t know whether the redness on Shui Zhizi’s face was due to cold like in the past few days, or because she was too excited.
I don’t know if the fur coat will work for Shui Zhizi.
Although Shui Zhizi had been holding on for the past few days, every time she got off the carriage she was so cold that she walked stiffly, which Xin Zhuyou, who had also experienced the cold, could see at a glance.
Xin Zhuyou was just thinking about it when he saw Shui Zhizi's personal maid Yingfu walking towards him.
"Third Prince, this is what the princess asked me to give you. The princess said thank you for the fur coat."
"It's just a small favor, no need to be polite, Princess." Xin Zhuyou wanted to refuse.
Yingfu stuffed the thing into Xin Zhuyou's hand with some force.
The princess said that they had not yet arrived in Lai and they knew nothing about the situation in the Lai royal court, so they could not owe any debt to anyone from Lai at this time.
"This is a special armor made by Dong Meng. The Third Prince is going to go to the battlefield. This will be useful to the Third Prince."
Yingfu left after saying this, without giving Xin Zhuyou any chance to get involved.
It is fair to exchange one piece of clothing for another. Xin Zhuyou probably guessed Shui Zhizi's thoughts.
Well, anyway, his mission is to ensure that Shui Zhizi reaches Lai Kingdom safely.
As long as Shui Zhizi can marry peacefully and there will be less war in Lai State, everything he does will be valuable.
Xin Zhuyou quietly put away the birthday gift he had prepared for himself.
At this moment, Xin Zhuyou didn't know why he did this.
After Shui Zhizi's birthday, the team moved faster.
More than half a month later, they reached the territory of Lai State and Dong Meng's army returned under the leadership of General Gu.
Only Dong Meng's delegation and the people who would accompany Shui Zhizi to stay in Lai State in the future were left.
However, the real danger has just begun.
For Shui Zhizi, the difficulties she faced never came from countries that were hostile to Lai.
It was an internal struggle within Lai.
The internal struggle in Lai is difficult for Shui Zhizi and dangerous for Xin Zhuyou.
The people of Lai State will certainly not harm Shui Zhizi. If something happens to Princess Dong Meng in Lai State, no one will be able to escape punishment.
But if Xin Zhuyou, the greatest helper of King Lai, died, someone else would replace Xin Zhuyou to complete the task of welcoming Princess Dongmeng to Beijing.
The person who received the reward from King Lai was someone else.
What's more, if there is someone who can win the heart of Princess Dongmeng along the way, then the King of Lai should be replaced.
So, thanks to the schemes of countless people, Shui Zhizi had a wonderful journey.
This was the third time Shui Zhizi had seen the strange man.
Finally they arrived at the territory of Lai State. Xin Zhuyou said that everyone was tired and exhausted from the journey, so he arranged accommodation for them in this small town to rest.
After resting for two days, they rushed to the capital of Lai State in one go.
Shui Zhizi also wanted to have a good rest, so she agreed.
The place to live was carefully selected by the officials of Lai State, and the people who were taken care of were all brought by Shui Zhizi herself.
Shui Zhizi had her own guards guarding her, and Xin Zhuyou's men were watching outside, so Shui Zhizi thought there would be no problem.
There are no safety issues anymore.
But when Shui Zhizi wanted to go out and see the customs and culture of Lai State, she encountered such a situation.
From a distance, she could hear someone reciting poems, and the sound gave Shui Zhizi goosebumps.
Shui Zhizi didn't take it seriously.
But after walking a few steps, I saw two men fighting in the street, right in the busy street. It was so strange.
"Yingfu, it stands to reason that the people of Lai are better at saving their lives than us, right?"
"Well, I have heard before that almost everyone in Lai knows how to fight and kill in order to survive."
"Then why do their competitions look so fancy?"
Shui Zhizi doesn't know martial arts, but she has watched many martial arts competitions. The moves of these two people seem good, but they don't seem to have much power.
