Chapter 153 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (7)

She was even willing to support Shui Hao's approach, but that didn't mean she had no grudges against Shui Hao.

"What if I am afraid too? Your Majesty, what if I didn't survive in the environment in the north?

To survive in an environment like that in the north, it is not enough to just have a healthy body.

The struggle in the court of King Lai, the conspiracy of King Lai's harem, the chaos among the northern countries, any one of them could cost me my life

Does the emperor have confidence in me? Or has he given up on me to some extent when you have such thoughts? "

"No! You have seen Gardenia's dowry. I have made all the necessary preparations for you and nothing will happen to you."

But Shui Xian'er's dowry in her previous life was not much less than hers.

Everything she had extra was obtained by the court officials, as well as the personal guards and secret guards left to her by her father.

Shui Xian'er died of excessive worry.

It seemed that in the eyes of Shui Hao and Lu Nian, since her health was better than Shui Xian'er's, she must be more suitable for marriage than Shui Xian'er.

In fact, these are not what Shui Zhizi cares about. The fact is that Shui Xian'er's health is not suitable for her to go through with the marriage.

What made Shui Zhizi unable to let go and sad for so many years was that in Shui Hao's heart, power was more important than her, his sister.

"What if I, your sister, don't understand the emperor's ambitions?

What if my sister didn't come forward to ask for a marriage?

What if Shui Xian'er went to get married and something really happened?

How will you treat me, brother?"

Under Shui Zhizi's sharp gaze, Shui Hao was unable to give the answer immediately.

But he thought of the relief he felt when Shui Zhizi stood up in the court and asked for marriage.

Shui Zhizi took a deep breath and said, “Your Majesty, by then there will be no family affection between you and my sister.

Will you blame me for not being able to understand such a simple thing after being taught by my father for so many years?

You may think that my title of eldest princess is just a nominal title, and it is all due to the favoritism given to me by my father and the court officials.

Even if I have made achievements in Dongmeng, as long as it is not the result you want, Your Majesty, I have done nothing. "

Shui Hao shook his head subconsciously, but was stunned when he saw tears in Shui Zhizi's eyes.

He couldn't help but wonder, would he really do as Shui Zhizi said?

Shui Zhizi lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any ideas, you should tell me directly. I am not as smart and strong as you think."

"As long as you tell me straight, I'm willing to do anything for Dong Meng."

In the past, the Queen Mother would do anything for her brother and father, but now it’s just for Dong Meng.

Shui Zhizi grew up smoothly. When her father and mother were alive, no one dared to hurt her or make her unhappy.

Therefore, Shui Zhizi has long developed a character that cannot tolerate any grain of sand in its eyes.

Shui Hao must still have affection for her now, but Shui Zhizi is no longer prepared to take it seriously.

She would only be a qualified Princess of Dongmeng in the future, not someone's sister or wife.

Shui Hao had many instructions and many thoughtful words he wanted to say to Shui Zhizi when she was about to leave.

But in the end, I couldn't say anything, and I left with something blocked in my heart.

Shui Hao postponed Shui Zhizi's departure from Dongmeng to two months later, but the things that needed to be discussed between the two countries had already been agreed upon.

Xin Zhuyou had nothing important to do. Before coming to Dongmeng, he had wanted to investigate Dongmeng's strength.

But now he did not act rashly. Dong Meng's sincerity was already very great. If he acted on his own and made Dong Meng unhappy, it would be more trouble than gain.

But Xin Zhuyou and his men could not bear to have him stay in the inn for two months without going out. Somehow, Xin Zhuyou thought of the spacious royal martial arts field in Dongmeng, and sent all his men there for training.

After Emperor Dongmeng learned about this, he reserved a place specifically for the people of Lai.

However, Xin Zhuyou himself went to the horse farm for several days.

Xin Zhuyou swore that at first he was just curious about how big a horse farm could be that allowed Princess Dong Meng to train herself to that level in just three days.

When we arrived at the horse farm, we found that Shui Zhizi, who was walking unsteadily yesterday, was riding a horse again today.

But this time Shui Zhizi was accompanied by many people, including the palace maid Dong Meng.

There was also General Dongmeng, a high-ranking general whom Xin Zhuyou had met in the court before. He was personally teaching Princess Dongmeng how to ride a horse.

Xin Zhuyou once again had a new understanding of Princess Dongmeng's status.

After a few days, he also had a new understanding of Princess Dong Meng.

She came to training on time every day, and even after training every day, Xin Zhuyou felt that she couldn't hold on any longer just by looking at the way she walked.

But Shui Zhizi never missed a day, not even late.

Finally, when Shui Zhizi asked everyone around her to go back first and continued practicing alone, Xin Zhuyou couldn't help but ride his horse to catch up.

"Princess, whether it's archery or horse riding, these skills cannot be mastered in a short period of time. Too much is as bad as too little."

Shui Zhizi nodded, but did not stop.

Shui Zhizi also knew that too much is as bad as too little, but for several days, she could only let the horse walk slowly to prevent it from falling off, and she never let the horse run.

Shui Zhizi used to think she was very smart, and nothing could stump her.

She could even analyze the situation in the court that her father told her about.

But now she realized that she was extremely stupid in martial arts and didn't even know how to ride a horse.

But the environment she will live in in the future will make it difficult for her to protect herself without martial arts.

"Princess, take a break."

Shui Zhizi pulled the reins tighter before she dared to turn around and look at Xin Zhuyou.

"Don't worry, Third Prince. I will definitely set off on time in two months and will not delay the journey."

The third prince has been keeping an eye on me for several days, as if he was afraid that I would run away.

Xin Zhuyou was stunned and thought for a moment before he understood what Shui Zhizi meant.

"Princess, I don't mean that. If the princess can trust Laiguo and ask to marry her, we in Laiguo naturally trust the princess as well."

Shui Zhizi turned around and rode the horse seriously without responding to Xin Zhuyou's words.

The only person she trusted from beginning to end was herself, not Lai Guo.

But Shui Zhizi was too embarrassed to say this because of her poor horsemanship.

"Third Prince, there should be very few people in the North who can't ride horses?" If you don't want to respond, you can only change the subject.

Xin Zhuyou's eyes were always on Shui Zhizi's horse.

These days, Shui Zhizi has fallen off her horse when she was alone.

Before, Xin Zhuyou had been watching from a distance, but now that he was right in front of her, she naturally couldn't let anyone fall.

"Not really. There are more people in the north due to the years of war and competitions, but horses are scarce and not everyone can afford to ride."

"Then are there many people in your Lai royal court who can ride horses?"

"Most men know how to do it, after all, they have to fight in battle. Fewer women know how to do it."
