Chapter 314 Princess, I will protect you all the way
On the seventh day of May, the spring was bright and beautiful, and the eighth princess' wedding procession slowly drove out of the city gate.
The team stopped at the city gate.
The eighth princess's grandfather and his family appeared at the city gate and said goodbye to the eighth princess.
"Min'er, the future of our Zhang family depends on you. You must serve the Sixth Prince well in Miaojiang and give birth to a child for him as soon as possible to consolidate his position! You can't be so willful like you were in the capital. Try to be patient in everything..."
A hoarse voice was heard, and Yu Jiuer saw through the carriage curtain an old woman holding the Eighth Princess's hand tightly, giving her many instructions.
It seemed that her implication was that the Eighth Princess must not offend Miao Jiang, and not be divorced and bring shame to their family!
Yu Jiuer frowned slightly and asked Lu Xiu: "Is this the Eighth Princess's grandmother?"
"Yes, Princess!" Green Sleeves lifted a corner of the curtain and introduced to the people who were seeing her off not far away, "The one next to her in official uniform is the Eighth Princess's grandfather. Behind him are the Eighth Princess's two uncles and two aunts, as well as the Eighth Princess's cousins. Their entire family is here."
Yu Jiuer pricked up her ears and heard the Eighth Princess's grandfather admonish her: "You are shouldering a heavy responsibility on this trip to Miaojiang, and you must not deviate in the slightest. You must remember that you represent the entire Great Dong Dynasty, not just yourself. Princess, you must control your temper!
I have asked the Emperor to let your cousin Zhang Yun and your cousin Zhang Yu accompany you to Miaojiang, and come back after you have settled down there!"
Hearing this, Yu Jiuer sneered in her heart. It turned out that the whole family was counting on the Eighth Princess to plan their future?
The eighth princess's grandfather is currently a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy, with no real power.
If the Eighth Princess's mother had not been so outstanding in the selection and won the favor of the Emperor, and later gave birth to the Eighth Princess, her grandfather, Lord Zhang, would probably not even have been able to become a seventh-rank official.
Now it seems that they want to ask the emperor for a reward on the basis that the eighth princess sacrificed herself for the marriage?
Yes, in theory, the eighth princess's grandfather's family should be rewarded.
However, the Eighth Princess married far away in another country, and they did not worry about whether she was afraid or not, nor did they care whether she was happy or not. They just asked her to do her job conscientiously and not make any mistakes. This is really heartbreaking.
Fortunately, the eighth princess was a filial daughter and kept nodding in agreement.
Finally, Shang Buqun's impatient voice came: "Eighth Princess, it's time to hurry!"
This family didn't give up their "earnest teachings" to the Eighth Princess.
Zhang Yu wanted to get on the carriage with the Eighth Princess. As soon as the Eighth Princess came in, she couldn't wait to squeeze in. She was startled when she met Yu Jiuer's half-smiley eyes. She bowed her head and apologized quickly: "I didn't know that Princess Jing was in the Eighth Princess's carriage. I'm sorry. Then I'll take the carriage at the back?"
She thought that Yu Jiuer would politely let her go up after saying this, but unexpectedly, Yu Jiuer nodded without any burden?
Zhang Yu had to leave the Eighth Princess's luxurious and comfortable carriage with regret.
Yu Jiuer touched the Eighth Princess's head distressedly and comforted her: "Don't be sad!"
The Eighth Princess shook her head and said sensibly, "My grandfather's family owes their current status to my mother. Now that I am married to the Miao Frontier, my father promised to give my grandfather a promotion and also arrange a position for my eldest cousin. It is only natural for them to have high hopes for me and give me a few more instructions. I understand!"
Yu Jiuer felt a little sour in her nose when she heard that. It was rare for a princess to be so considerate of others!
Shang Buqun missed a good girl.
The convoy continued on the road. Shang Buqun and Jun Mo were playing chess in another carriage, and the sound of their quarrels could be heard from time to time.
"Shang Buqun, you are well-read, but don't you understand the principle of never regretting your move?"
"Prince Jing, how can a person remain unchanged? You are so boring, I really don't understand how Yu Jiuer can stand you?"
"You can't call her Yu Jiuer. You should call her Princess Jing!"
"She is my confidant and good friend. Calling her by her name makes me feel more intimate. You can't stop our sincere friendship!"
"I think you deserve to be punished. Watch the chess piece!"
"Prince Jing, are you regretting your move? Didn't you drop your piece here just now?"
"This is called improvisation."
......
Yu Jiuer and the Eighth Princess heard their conversation in the carriage and couldn't help laughing.
During the break, the Eighth Princess condescended to personally make tea for everyone.
When she brought a pot of tea to Shang Buqun, Shang Buqun waved his hand and said, "It's May, I like to drink cold tea."
The smile on the Eighth Princess's face froze and she withdrew her hand awkwardly.
Jun Mo took the tea from the Eighth Princess and said to her, "Min'er, you are the bride, just take a good rest along the way. Just tell the servants to do these things, you don't have to worry about it!"
"I like to make tea, fourth brother, please don't persuade me. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to make tea for you again in the future!" The eighth princess lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
Zhang Yu came over and said sarcastically, "Eighth Princess, Prince Jing is right. You are about to become the consort of the Sixth Prince of Miaojiang. You should behave dignified and serious. You shouldn't touch the rough work done by these servants. My aunt asked me to remind you to be careful in everything and not to affect the marriage!"
Yu Jiuer couldn't stand it any longer, and jumped down from the carriage, cursing, "I made tea for you, but you still don't know what's good for you. Drink it or not!
I declare that from now on, the Eighth Princess will be protected by me, Yu Jiuer, and she can do whatever she wants. If anyone dares to say one more word to me, I will make her suffer!"
Then he took the Eighth Princess' hand and walked towards the stream: "Didn't you say just now that the stream water is clear and you wanted to go in and feel the coolness of the water? I will take you in now. You are the boss on this trip, you can have fun anywhere, even the king of heaven and earth can't stop you!"
Zhang Yu was startled by Yu Jiuer's aggressive look. She said, "As the cousin of the Eighth Princess, I was asked by my aunt to give her a few more words of advice. Princess Jing, please don't be angry. We are doing this for her own good!"
"Hmph! If it's for her own good then shut up, otherwise I won't let you reach Miaojiang!" Yu Jiuer glared at her fiercely.
Everyone in this family wants to climb up by relying on the eighth princess's shoulders. None of them is a good person.
Zhang Yu looked at Jun Mo aggrievedly, hoping that Jun Mo could control his princess.
Jun Mo touched his nose and said, "She is about to get married. How long can we still spoil her? She is still in the Great Dong Dynasty. Let her do as she pleases!"
Zhang Yu was speechless and looked at her cousin Zhang Yun for help. Zhang Yun shook his head slightly, and she retreated with a red face.
Jun Mo entered the carriage carrying a teapot.
The servant poured out two cups of tea. Shang Buqun couldn't refuse, so he picked them up and drank them silently.
Jun Mo asked with a double meaning, "Master Prime Minister, if it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it. If you miss some things, you will miss them for the rest of your life. Do you understand this?"
"Life is a time of confusion, I just follow my heart!" Shang Buqun leaned back, put his hands behind his head, looked at the swaying pearl curtain on the top of the carriage, and was lost in thought.
