The princess was lying on the beauty's couch, with a pile of records and documents about Tiansui on her desk. She read through them one by one, trying to piece together a complete world from between the lines. However, after reading for a long time, the whole article was filled with powerful, wealthy, and magnificent words.

Majesty, it seems that there is nothing else but these.

There are also various records about the wok people, some say they are strong but have a soft voice, and some say they are brave but suspicious.

The princess's fingers moved down a row of small characters, "The body is long but the legs are short... What the hell is the body long but the legs are short?"

The maid Chuochuo thought for a moment, "The upper body takes up all the height, leaving only two legs..." She spread her fingers to show an inch, "They are only so long."

The princess's eyes turned dark, and she fell back on the couch. She picked up the soft shoes hooked on her toes, drew a smooth arc, and landed on the lotus tiles.

She was not wearing stockings, and her feet were clean and soft. When the princess was thirteen years old, Chuo Chuo was sent to the Pearl Palace to serve the princess. The first time she washed the princess's feet, that sight was unforgettable for the rest of her life - how could this happen in the world?

There are such beautiful feet, slender, small and round. Stepping on the bottom of the gold-coated basin, looking through a layer of water curtain, it looks like the sudden appearance of Guanyin riding the waves under the fluttering skirt.

In fact, not only are the feet bare, but only a very small part of the body, the princess's beauty becomes a strange phenomenon.

The Shanshan Kingdom is a peripheral country among the Twelve Kingdoms. For such a small country, in addition to clinging to the thigh of the upper country, it must also have spiritual beliefs. From top to bottom, the Shanshan Kingdom believes in the golden-winged roc, which is lower-profile than the phoenix.

But there is a divine bird that is more glittering than the phoenix. A painter once painted an anthropomorphic image of the golden-winged bird. The eyebrows, eyes, and figure, who could it be if it were not the princess?

However, if you think that all Xiang people are stunningly beautiful, you would be mistaken. The team leader who built the suspension bridge on the moat is tall, thick-set and bearded. He is also a Xiang person. How are the so-called Xiang people determined?

It is said to be a smell. This kind of smell can only be smelled by wok people. It only takes a breeze and a look to lock the target without knowing it, and then follow it like a shadow, never ending.

Chuo Chuo picked up the soft shoes and placed them squarely in front of the pedals. He stood next to them and asked, "When should we set off?"

The princess covered her face with the book and said, "Tonight the country is going to host a banquet for the Tiansui envoys. The departure time will not be set until after the banquet."

"At that time, the princes and nobles will bring their wives to participate as usual, right?"

The princess said it was necessary, because the country of Shanshan was too small and the population was too small. Unmarried girls from the other eleven countries would not appear in public, and the country of Shanshan was an exception. This was not because men and women were equal, but because they needed someone to support the scene.

Chuo Chuo's leader was very lively. She said, "Among the noble ladies, there are also some handsome ones. If the envoy from the higher country falls in love with someone else, then the princess doesn't have to go."

The princess is an upright and responsible person, and firmly believes that the people of Shanshan value love and justice. She pulled off the book covering her face and said: "Pretending to be ugly? The envoy shook his head? That won't work. Even if you are lucky enough not to go to the country, go to the country.

It's not easy to get around in the city of Muni. I believe that the people of Shanshan love me. As long as I am in need, they will bravely go forward and even volunteer to replace me. The more this happens, the more I can't be cold as a princess of the country.

I have won the hearts of my people. I want them to know what integrity means and what putting the country first!"

The princess was full of righteousness, her blood was boiling and her pretty face was burning.

Chuochuo suddenly felt ashamed of himself. If he had such a consciousness as His Highness, he would have risen through the ranks and become the head maid.

"Then your Highness should dress up nicely, so as not to disgrace Shan Shanguo." Chuo Chuo said sonorously.

The princess nodded, sat in front of the dressing table, washed her face and applied powder. The palace servants put on her face and painted flowers. To show her thoughtfulness and solemnity, Chuo Chuo also brought her a hundred-bird robe.

Very good, very good. The princess stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked herself up and down. She could already imagine the admiration and reluctance on the faces of all the nobles. As a princess, with such a fearless spirit of self-sacrifice, she is absolutely worthy of heaven and earth.

So the princess dressed up and walked into the Hall of Light, where the royal family held a grand banquet. One hundred and eight palace lanterns illuminated the hall as bright as day.

The guests have all arrived, and the king and the envoy from the higher state have also taken their seats. The bored envoy is wondering what kind of grape the wine in the luminous cup is made from. When he glances at it inadvertently, he is attracted by the person who appears at the palace gate.

sight.

As an official who went on missions to various countries in Tiansui, he had never seen the beauties of the sky and the beauty of the country. He had also heard about the fame of Princess Shanshan, but he had never thought that there could be someone so beautiful in the world.

Very good, very good! The envoy stood up and looked at the princess with a face full of relief, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu's regretful medicine has arrived. There is hope for the country. It is a great blessing for the country..."

Although the king had always had confidence in the princess's beauty, he felt guilty when he saw the envoy's eyes glaring, "Isn't your envoy a wok-maker?"

The envoy choked and realized that he had lost his composure. He laughed and said: "If I were a wok man, I would have joined the army long ago, and the Queen Mother of the country above would not send me as an envoy to your country."

Your Highness, when compared, all the ladies here are as vulgar as dust."

Chuo Chuo supported the princess, and the master and servant stared blankly at the ugly noble girls, their hearts filled with resentment and sadness.

Chuo Chuo said: "Your Highness made a miscalculation."

The princess tried hard to steady the corners of her lips that were about to droop, and murmured to herself: "You have promised to love me...if you want to act ugly, let me know. It makes me so unsocial."

Not only did she not fit in with the crowd, she simply stood out from the crowd. So the fact is that the princess was let down. Although the ladies felt guilty, it could be seen that they all had firm eyes and no regrets.

The princess sighed. Even when the chic beauty looked lonely, she also showed a kind of aloof beauty. She reluctantly smiled at the envoy from the country above and said, "Excuse me, your Majesty, does His Highness the King of Chu know that the Queen Mother of your country is going to arrange a princess for him?"

"

The envoy said he didn't know, and after thinking for a while, he added: "After all, I have to persuade Your Highness to give up the idea of ​​becoming a monk, so that you can become a princess."

Does that mean you still have to go through the test? The princess felt it was not worth it, but when she saw the eager eyes of the king, she had to swallow her words.

"I have heard a little bit about His Royal Highness the King of Chu in the Kingdom above. I heard that he... has a bad temper?" The princess twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid I'm too stupid to please the King of Chu...

"

"Your Highness is worried too much. Our Highness the King of Chu is the most kind person. Especially after he decided to convert, he treated everyone with kindness. If Your Highness met him in person, he would believe what I said." The envoy tried his best to coax.

, after all, beautiful women are rare, and perhaps a louder voice can make the princess burst into tears, so the envoy, who was always sharp-tongued, controlled his voice and spoke in an extraordinarily gentle tone.

The leader of the country understands the current situation. Even if 11,000 people are not willing to use his own sister to fill the hole, due to the small and weak country, he can only swallow his anger.

He glanced at the princess and said, "Rumors cannot be believed..."

"Brother, have you seen King Chu?" the princess asked.

The king touched his nose and said, "No." He quickly found a reasonable explanation, "The King of Chu led 200,000 cavalry to conquer the north and south. Anyone who has seen him has been treated by a large army. We Shanshan

I am a loyal vassal of Tiansui. I am very lucky that I have never met the King of Chu. The king of the country who has never met the King of Chu is the lucky king."

It sounded so blameless that the princess was a little discouraged and turned to the envoy and asked: "When does your honorable envoy plan to return to your country?"

The envoy said: "My mission has been successfully accomplished. Naturally, the sooner I can get back, the better. The main reason is that the situation is pressing. The old monk can cut his hair with a knife. It is easy for his hair to fall out and it is very troublesome to grow it back."

The princess nodded sadly. She must have gone with the envoy. Although the country she had lived in for seventeen years was as small as a bird's egg, its golden and silver nests were not as good as her own doghouse. There was no turning back from this trip.

And the future is uncertain, and he might be served as a side dish. It is really sad to think about this.

In any case, the person to be sent to the Kingdom of Tiansui was chosen. The noble ladies, wearing strange makeup and makeup, came over to comfort her and congratulated her on her heroic death. After all, she jumped into the fire pit, so others didn't have to.

, everyone is still very grateful to her.

There were a lot of people coming and going, and the princess was in a bad mood and was very impatient. Finally, the banquet was over, and the princess walked out of the Hall of Light. As soon as she stepped down the steps, she saw the marshal of soldiers and horses approaching to greet them.

He took out a makeup knife from under his armor and handed it to her, "Your Highness, take this with you so you can protect yourself if necessary."

The princess took the makeup knife and held it tightly in her hand. This generalissimo, who was in charge of 2,912 victorious soldiers, was her childhood friend. If she didn't have to go to the country, and nothing happened,

He should be her future consort.

The princess opened her mouth and said sadly: "After I leave, you should take more care..."

The Generalissimo nodded, his expression a little painful.

Just when the princess was considering whether to speak her mind and explain this unspoken relationship, the generalissimo said sadly: "I'm getting married next month. I originally wanted to invite you to the wedding banquet, but now it seems that

No chance."

The princess was stunned. The tears in her eyes were not sure whether they should fall or not.

"Oh, you're getting married?" The princess was lost for a moment, then quickly managed a decent smile, "I just didn't know, congratulations!"

The Marshal of the Army was silent for a moment, "When are you leaving? I'll see you off."

The princess said no, "If I send you away, I will feel sad about separation. Just think that I am going to Jingjue for spring break. I will come back one day."

The princess nodded gracefully and walked around him to the Pearl Palace.

A group of palace servants carried palace lanterns to lead the way. Chuochuo used the light to take a look at the princess. Wisteria flowers hung gently on the princess's temples. The princess lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes cast a small shadow on her cheekbones.

Chuochuo asked cautiously: "The generalissimo is getting married, is your highness sad?"

The princess said nothing, "It's okay, actually I don't like him that much."

The feelings were neither shallow nor deep, far less touching than she imagined, and the depression passed after a while. What made her confused was that she was about to travel far away, but found that there was no one behind her to miss. It was as if she appeared in this world out of thin air, Shanshan's relatives and friends

Friends are just temporary passers-by in life.

Fortunately, she had a group of imperial nephews and nieces. There was a big banquet in the Guangming Palace, and they held a small banquet in the imperial garden. When they were having fun, they saw her coming, and they stood up and shouted like the dawn: "Imperial Aunt!"

The princess was surrounded and dragged into the crowd. The eldest princess put a wild goose feather arrow into her hand and said, "Your Majesty, please play hut with us! Your Majesty is not diligent, so you can relax the conditions, and you will be within one foot."

cast."

The princess's forehead jumped, these children are really arrogant!

Glancing at the bronze pot three feet away, she didn't even bother to pose. She held her sleeve and threw it casually. The arrow feathers rotated and the arrow shaft was inserted straight into the pot.

The children were in an uproar: "The royal aunt is so lucky!"

Good luck in throwing pots does not mean good luck in betting money. The princes dragged her to the other side and put five big coins into her palms, "Let's bet on the yin and yang sides. The one with more yang sides wins. The emperor's aunt has never played before.

To get through this, just use five for the first time, and then slowly add more later.”

The princess has always been sweet and soft, and even her nephews are used to humoring her. The princess refused to accept it and took the remaining five coins from the second prince's hand. Ten large coins were put into a bamboo tube, shook, and finally clicked on the table.

On the way, he yawned and said to Chuochuo: "Go back, I'm sleepy."

Chuo Chuo supported the princess and swayed away, showing an aura of hiding his identity and fame.

The princes and princesses then turned their attention to the bamboo tube. The eldest prince stepped forward and opened it. Under the tube, ten large coins were neatly piled into a pile. Everyone was stunned. The second prince stretched out his fingers and spread them out one by one, until he reached the last one.
