It was actually related to the princess's beloved, Guan Jinzhi.
When the real princess left the palace, she once said that Guan Jinzhi's goal in life was to be an official, to be prime minister.
Unexpectedly, this man only bragged about being good at skills, but actually failed to pass the exam many times. Seeing that his official career was hopeless, he cursed the examination room and the examiner is a fraud, and then defected to the embrace of the enemy NanChuan.
I don't know what method he used, but he actually got a good official position. Now Nanling country is causing trouble at the border and has captured three cities in a row. The enemy country is very familiar with our border defenses. I think because Guan Jinzhi is among them he has put in a lot of effort.
The imperial court was immediately in a state of panic, and Shi Jiu stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days, discussing countermeasures with his eldest brother.
Soon, the imperial court mobilized troops to the border. The two countries were evenly matched and there was a stalemate for a while.
It was the end of the year, and the soldiers of Nanling could not adapt to the cold weather, they were complaining. Seeing that they would not be able to attack for a while, Nanling sent envoys to ask for peace talks. Soon, the envoy will enter the capital.
Here, all the ministers in the court are also prepared. After all, we have lost three cities, and we don't know what conditions the other party will demand for.
In the list of envoys, Guan Jinzhi was prominently listed, and he was at the top. I guess he had bad intentions.
In the evening, an uninvited guest came to the princess mansion and handed over a greeting card with only two words "Ah Wan" on it.
There was no such person as Ah Wan in the world. Apart from the people in the palace who were personally serving the princess at that time, only the real Princess Ke Qi knew about it.
Counting the time, I haven't seen her for three years. Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still a little shocked when I saw the princess. Her clothes were simple and her face was tired. She didn't look like the graceful and luxurious princess back then. She looked like an ordinary woman..
"Princess!" Nanny was even more excited than me. She rushed towards her and cried hard when she looked at the fallen princess.
"Ah Wan, I knew it must be you. I wanted to come to the princess mansion to try my luck, but I didn't expect it was really you." The real princess broke away from nanny's hand and sat directly on the main seat. She was not polite at all, as if she was still the same person. The arrogant princess.
"Princess, long time no see, what are you doing?" After all, I was once a master and a servant, so I still have basic courtesy and politeness.
Sensing the coldness and alienation in my tone, the real princess immediately said disdainfully: "Why, you think you are really a princess despite my identity? I really don't know how much I weigh!"
"Princess, please be careful with what you say. When you left, if Ah Wan hadn't been your replacement, Your Majesty and the Queen would have announced that the princess died. Now Ah Wan is the real Princess Ke Qi." Head maid, who knew the cause and effect, couldn't help but defend me, said and the princess hurt the queen's heart, causing the queen to stay on the bed for a long time. The head maid was also angry for the queen.
"Okay, okay, okay, I have nothing to say to you. I came here today to have something done." After not seeing each other for several years, the princess became more and more mean. It seemed that life with Guan Jinzhi was not easy.
Ever since he learned that Guan Jinzhi was causing trouble from Nanling, His Majesty sent people to investigate.
Because Guan Jinzhi failed in the examination, his family moved to Nanling. They said it was the entire family, but in fact the Guan family had a small population. His father died young and he only had his mother. The orphan and widow had always lived a difficult life.
The princess borrowed my identity and name and said that she was a palace maid named Ah Wan. She was sent to the palace from a poor family since she was a child. She followed Guan Jinzhi willingly and anonymously. As she did not reveal her identity, Guan's mother never looked good upon her.
Guan Jinzhi began to think about the real princess eloping for him, and he treated her sincerely.
The two lived a life of poverty but mutual love.
It wasn't until he entered the country of Nanling that he had attracted the princess of Nanling by chance. It seemed that Guan Jinzhi was indeed handsome, the princesses of both countries were fascinated by him. Nanling has always been eyeing our country and is interested in conquering. With the introduction of the Nanling princess, Guan Jinzhi successfully became an official and got along together quite well.
Under Guan Jinzhi's instigation, Nanling suddenly launched an attack on the border between the two countries, catching our soldiers off guard and causing us to lose three cities in a row.
I don't know what role the princess played in this matter. After all, it is her mother country too. It is understandable that she might do something extreme for the sake of love. She should not harm her own country for the sake of the enemy country, right?
"Princess, please tell me something." I looked at the princess quietly, not understanding the purpose of her late night visit.
"I have told Jinzhi that I am the real princess of the Beiwei Dynasty, and I can give him whatever the Princess of Nanling promised to him."
It turns out that since Guan Jinzhi got involved with the Nanling Princess, she has become a thorn in the side of the Guan family. Naturally, Guan Jinzhi will not give up the glory and wealth given by the princess, and Guan's mother does not want her to hinder her son's bright future. Life was miserable, with dirty and tiring work being done all the time, and Mother Guan setting rules every day.
Finally unable to endure it anymore, the princess told Guan Jinzhi that she was Princess Ke Qi of the Beiwei Dynasty. As long as he returned to Beiwei Dynasty with her, her father, the emperor, and her mother would not treat him badly.
With two princesses competing for him, Guan Jinzhi felt a little elated and became egoistic, feeling that he had finally achieved the day to be favored by God. He decided to take the real princess back to Beiwei dynasty to negotiate and give himself a chance to have a bright future.
"Ah Wan, ever since I heard that Princess Ke Qi was getting married to the prime minister's youngest son, I guessed that you became the princess for me."
"After all, for the sake of many years of master-servant relationship, I came here to tell you that you should quickly think of a way out, otherwise it will be announced in the hall tomorrow that I am the real princess, and you will definitely end up in a miserable end."
