"Qi'er, do you really not want your father, the emperor, and your mother anymore?"
After hearing that the princess was planning to leave the palace, the wall in her majesty's heart instantly collapsed, and her voice trembled a little.
"Father, mother, please forgive your daughter for being unfilial. You still have the prince and other brothers, which is different from him, I am the only one beside him." The princess's attitude was very decisive.
"Hahaha, OK! OK! OK!" Seeing that he could not save his daughter, His Majesty said sternly: "I will wait here alone in the court to see how far you and a poor scholar can go."
When the queen sent the princess out of the palace, she stuffed her a bag full of gold and silver jewelry. After all, the princess was a daughter she had loved for many years, she still couldn't bear to let her suffer.
The princess took the package and left without looking back, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Giving up the position of a princess and running away with a poor scholar would not be acceptable to an ordinary family, let alone a royal family.
His Majesty and the Queen began to think about how to deal with the aftermath, if they should directly announce that the princess had died suddenly.
At this time, the Queen saw me standing aside and asked nanny if it was me who pretended to be the princess when she snuck out of the palace before. The nanny answered yes.
I thought I was dead. I was so frightened that I knelt down and didn't dare to look up for a long time.
"Stand up and let me take a look."
Standing up tremblingly, the Queen looked me up and down, then asked me to raise my head and take a closer look. I didn't know what she and his majesty discussed. After some discussion, the two decided to let me pretend to be the princess.
My body shape is similar to that of the princess and my face shape is similar. Although my facial features are slightly different, the princess has lived in the palace for a long time, has no contact with the ministers, and has never met anyone in the prime minister's family. As long as the hairstyle and clothing are the same, there is no problem in pretending to be the princess.
After hearing that I still had a father, mother, brother and sister at home, the queen asked the palace staff to take a sum of money and send it over, pretending that I had died of an illness and that this was the palace's pension.
In this way, I became Princess Ke Qi, and I will get married next month instead of the princess. From now on, there will be no more little palace maid like Ah Wan in the world.
.....
"My child, I have wronged you!"
The queen took my hand before leaving and stroked it gently, her eyes were red: "From now on, you will be the real Princess Ke Qi, and you will not lack anything a princess should have. "
Wronged? How can I be wrong to be a princess? The palace is filled with silks and satins, and the delicacies of mountains and seas are a life that ordinary people can't even dream of in their lifetime.
That generous pension is enough for my parents to buy a big house. From now on, they will have no worries about food, clothing and live in peace. My younger brothers and sisters will not have to go hungry. Maybe my younger brother can still go to school and gain fame in the future.
How can I feel wronged about such a good thing? I could laugh out loud just thinking about it.
Finally, the wedding day came, and when I said goodbye to my father, the emperor, and my mother, they told me everything as if I was a real princess. They told me if I'm wronged, they will support me.
With such kind and gentle parents, how could a real princess be so cruel as to abandon them? I secretly vowed to be filial to my father, emperor and mother as much as a princess would.
The prince and other royal brothers also knew the inside story, for fear of wronging me, they added a lot of dowry and sent it to
the princess's house together.
I was very satisfied with the whole wedding. I never thought that a pheasant would one day fly up a branch and become a phoenix.
On the wedding night, I met my future husband Shi Jiu, a handsome young man, just like what was written in the introduction book. The princess actually didn't like such a fairy, and I suddenly became curious about what the princess's sweetheart, Guan Jinzhi, was like.
"Princess, what are you thinking about?" Shi Jiu's voice was also nice, as mellow as a stream.
"You are very good-looking." Oops, I accidentally said what I was saying. The nanny told me to be careful with my words and deeds, make sure to pay attention to my manners. Even if the emperor and empress supported me, I can't lose my princess behaviour and make myself a joke.
"Haha, the princess is actually more interesting than Jiu expected, and not as domineering as the rumors say." His laughter was hearty, and it seems that her future husband had a very sunny personality.
The days after marriage were dull but warm. Because I was afraid of showing my flaws, I had been studying various poems, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Fortunately, the real princess was not good at these things, so I gradually caught up.
Shi Jiu has never suspected that I am a fake princess. Most of the reason is because even after getting married, His Majesty and the Queen still took good care of me. They keep giving me rewards every now and then, as if they really treat me as their own daughter.
In order to repay this kindness, I often went to the palace to accompany them. When the queen was sick, I would still go to the palace and serve her.
I heard from nanny that the Queen once sent someone out of the palace to look for the princess. The Guan family was not in a good financial situation, and they had to spend money on food and clothing. They lived in poverty. Unfortunately, the princess refused to accept the gold and silver sent from the palace, nor did she was willing to reveal her identity as a princess and is happy with the hard life.
After rejecting the offer two or three times, when the palace came again, the princess had already avoided her. The queen was completely disappointed and never mentioned anything to persuade the princess to change her mind.
I also asked Shi Jiu if he would regret it if he ruined his future by becoming a prince-in-law.
He said it didn't matter. He had an older brother above him. Now his official career was going smoothly and the pressure was all on his older brother. On the contrary, he was happy and could do what he wanted, such as writing poems, training swords, and traveling around. He felt so comfortable.
"And I have such a beautiful girl by my side, so why not be dissatisfied?"
I blushed with embarrassment.
The sky is clear and the breeze is gentle and the years are quiet.
Just when I thought life would continue to be peaceful, something unexpected happened.
