Chapter 273 The Daughter of Destiny
Gu Xi's pupils shrank suddenly.
She knew that the woman was Pan Rongrong!
Because she was wearing a veil, Gu Xi didn't recognize her at first.
Wasn't she sent to Wujia Village by me? How come she has become the Princess of Beiyan now?
What did she mean by saying this classic code?
Are you looking for fellow villagers?
Gu Xi’s guess was correct. Pan Rongrong initially thought that she was a time-traveling heroine who escaped from the small mountain village by some means and finally stirred up trouble in Beiyan. Although she was forced to become a princess in the end, she still felt that she was the girl of destiny.
On the way to An Ning Kingdom, she heard from spies that the Turks were destroyed by grenades and sky thunder, so she suspected that she was not the only time traveler in this world.
The people who destroyed the Turks are said to be Major General Chu Zhao of the Northwest Army and Captain Qi Dasheng.
She knew both of them.
She had seen the two of them when she had just crossed over, and had tried to get close to Chu Zhao, but unfortunately she failed, and she fainted inexplicably in a small mountain village.
She suspected that Chu Zhao or Qi Dasheng was responsible, but she had no evidence.
Along the way, she also found out that the official positions of those two people were promoted again and again, especially Qi Dasheng, who became a first-rank imperial teacher.
She suspected that one of the two was a time traveler.
Although she was forced to marry this time, if she could find her modern fellow villagers and join forces with them, she might be able to do better.
The three princes and those dignitaries who coveted Princess Beiyan began to frown and ponder the second line of the couplet.
Chu Zhao had watched a lot of modern videos and read a lot of novels, so he naturally knew what the next sentence was.
He became suspicious like Gu Xi and looked carefully at Princess Beiyan.
But he didn't recognize it was Pan Rongrong.
Gu Xi despised Wu Dazhuang in her heart. She was able to escape because she had a system. Pan Rongrong was just an ordinary woman, and he couldn't even keep her?
It seems that Pan Rongrong is doing quite well. She is obviously forty years old, but people can't tell her age. She has even become the princess of Beiyan. I don't know what means she used. I'm really curious.
The second prince stood up, bowed to Pan Rongrong, stared at Pan Rongrong's chest, and said:
"I have come up with a couplet for the princess. The king covers the earth with a tiger, and the cat catches the mouse. How do you think it suits the princess's taste?"
The ministers looked at each other, trying not to laugh, and secretly cursing the Second Prince as a fool.
Pan Rongrong smiled slightly, bowed and said:
"Although this prince's parallelism is neat, it is not what I want."
The second prince sat back with a sullen face.
Seeing that the Second Prince had returned in defeat, the Fifth Prince did not want to be outdone and stood up to show off. He said to Princess Beiyan:
"The king is the king of heaven and the tiger of earth. I want to marry the princess. What do you think?"
Pan Rongrong laughed sweetly:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I cannot agree to it."
The Sixth Prince also stood up:
"The king of heaven covers the tiger of earth, and the beauty is like Wangshu."
He looked at Pan Rongrong lovingly, praising her like his white moonlight.
It's a pity that although Pan Rongrong has good acting skills, she lacks cultural knowledge and didn't understand the Sixth Prince's compliment. She just shook her head slightly and said:
"That's not it."
After all three princes had finished comparing themselves, Princess Beiyan found that none of them was the one she liked, so the others also began to get eager to try.
Princess Beiyan walked straight up to Chu Zhao, threw him a coquettish look, and said:
"Can this young master answer this question?"
What she was most looking forward to was that Chu Zhao was also a time traveler. When she was in the military camp, she missed out on this extraordinarily handsome young man because she did not dare to expose herself.
But now, she has implicitly revealed her identity. If Chu Zhao is a time traveler, he will definitely be able to identify her, and then he can marry Chu Zhao.
Chu Zhao looked at Gu Xi nervously. He didn't do anything. He was just watching his heart with his eyes. Why did this woman come to him?
"I am a military general and don't understand these things." Chu Zhao had an expression that kept people at a distance.
Pan Rongrong looked disappointed.
But when he turned around, he immediately changed his expression and said to Gu Xi with a smile:
"What about this lord? Can you answer it?"
Emperor Jichang suddenly laughed and said:
"Princess, this is the state teacher of my An Ning country. Even if he can answer the question, he cannot marry you."
He couldn't let the imperial teacher marry the Northern Yan people. They were already wary of his ability. If he also had the Northern Yan, his throne would be unstable.
Pan Rongrong asked Gu Xi in confusion: "Why?"
Gu Xi ignored her and pretended not to see anything. He picked up a peach on the table and started eating it.
Naturally, someone could help Pan Rongrong solve her doubts. Eunuch Lin smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and said:
"Princess, the Imperial Master is a messenger from God and must remain a virgin."
God's messenger? Pan Rongrong felt that the national teacher was most likely the time traveler.
She was surprised that since she had traveled through time, shouldn’t she enjoy her life?
Qi Dasheng is now in a high position. If he wants a woman, those who want to marry him will probably line up at the city gate.
Could it be that it is not possible?
Or maybe he traveled through time and space and became a eunuch? That would be too tragic.
No matter what, even if the Imperial Master cannot become the consort of the emperor, as long as he is a time traveler and holds such a high position of power, she must cooperate with him.
Then he smiled at Emperor Jichang and said:
"Your Majesty, I have never seen a messenger of God, and I am very curious about the Imperial Master. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow me to chat with him for a while?"
Emperor Jichang's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he looked at the Imperial Master. Seeing that he had no expression on his face, he could not refuse such a small matter, so he could only say:
"As long as the Imperial Master is willing, I have no objection."
Pan Rongrong said to Gu Xi:
"I wonder if the Imperial Master could spare me a moment to speak?"
Gu Xi was actually a little curious about Pan Rongrong. She would never let him get away with it, but he could find out about Pan Rongrong's experience, so he stood up and said:
"can."
Led by the young eunuch, the two went to the side hall.
Wu Gong, the envoy from Northern Yan, stood up and proposed a toast so that they could drink while waiting for the princess to return.
In the side hall, Gu Xi looked into Pan Rongrong's eyes and said silently: Use mind reading.
Then he spoke first:
"I wonder what advice the princess has for me?"
Pan Rongrong lifted her veil and said:
"Does the Imperial Master still remember me?"
Pan Rongrong thought: "Surprised? Unexpected? I am totally different now. If I tell you later that I am from modern times, I'm afraid you will be even more surprised."
Gu Xi: Surprise...bullshit.
"Oh, it's Madam Pan? How did you become the Princess of Beiyan?" Gu Xi was quite curious about this matter.
Although Pan Rongrong is pretty and has a good figure, she can be seen as a woman even without her veil. If it weren't for her heavy makeup and visible wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, how could she pretend to be an unmarried princess?
Pan Rongrong had already thought of a reason and said:
"I am a princess of Northern Yan who was stranded abroad. I was in a foreign country when I was on the grassland. It was inconvenient to reveal my identity, so I hope that the Imperial Master will forgive me."
