Chapter 808 The Princess's Marriage is Mighty and Magnificent
The further north the marriage procession went, the more the scenery they saw along the way was different from the imperial capital.
The weather is getting colder.
Shi Li inherited all the memories of the original owner, and would occasionally look back and stare blankly in the direction of the distant imperial capital.
On the eighth day, the team stopped at a deserted inn.
It snowed heavily at night.
At midnight, the dead branches outside the window were bent by the snow, making a "crackling" sound, waking Shi Li from his sleep.
The sound of wind and snow outside is disturbing.
Shi Li sat up, hugging the quilt, feeling a sense of nameless loneliness in her heart.
I can't help but think of a poem I read before -
The wind changes and the snow changes, shattering the homesickness and dreams.
"Princess, what can I do for you?"
Han Zhao, the maid who was keeping watch for her outside the door, pushed the door open holding an oil lamp, with a look of vigilance between her pretty brows.
"Nothing, I was just woken up by the sound of snow and wind outside the window."
Shi Li came back to her senses and shook her head.
Han Zhao is not an ordinary maid, but one of the hundred scouts.
One hundred scouts, each with their own skills, had quietly hidden in the marriage team before setting off.
Some were escorting guards, some were coachmen, and the one Shi Li saw closest to him every day was Han Zhao.
She is best at medicine and poisons, and staying by Shi Li's side can protect her safety to the greatest extent.
"May I light a calming incense for the princess?"
Han Zhao took a few steps closer and asked tentatively.
After Shi Li nodded, she deftly took out the incense tablets and a small incense burner and lit them on the low table beside the bed.
Shi Li was surrounded by the soothing and gentle fragrance, and fell asleep soon after lying down again.
During this time, I had another dream.
It seemed like a long time ago, when she was four or five years old, she moved to a new house with her parents.
Living next door was also a family of three, with a boy about her age.
The boy was very handsome, with a delicate face and a bright red mole at the end of his eye, like a sparkling ruby.
Shi Li has always been obsessed with looks since she was a kid. Once she meets someone, she'll cling to them and follow them like a little tail...
When I woke up, it was bright daylight.
The scent of the soothing incense disappeared from the air, leaving only the fresh and cool air after the snow.
Shi Li forgot most of what happened in her dream and hurriedly got up and packed up to prepare to set off again.
When he got on the carriage, he exchanged a glance with the driver who was wearing a bamboo hat, and his heart was slightly relieved.
In this era, it was impossible for her not to be afraid when she went to a completely unfamiliar place alone. The hundreds of scouts lurking around her were her only confidence and support.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth, and the marriage team walked through the heavy snow to reach the northern foreign country.
The moment he stepped into the foreign territory, the foreign country also sent people to greet Shi Li.
This person would naturally not be the dying foreign king, but his only son, Prince Zong Huai of the foreign country.
Zong Huai was a young man in his twenties, wearing wild animal skins and riding on a horse with a proud look on his face. He only managed to rein in the horse when he arrived in front of Shi Li's carriage.
"My father may be unable to spare time right now, so he sent me to meet the princess!"
After saying that, Zong Huai turned over and got off the horse, and reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage.
The guards standing in front of the carriage stopped him.
"No rudeness!"
"We'll see each other sooner or later, why bother pretending?"
Zong Huai snorted and laughed. He did not insist on offending Shi Li. Instead, he said in an ambiguous tone, "Father can't take care of this right now. After all, he just found his precious grandson!"
Northland
Foreign countries do not have as many requirements as the Yong Dynasty, such as polygamy and concubines.
Zong Huai's mother was the youngest wife of the foreign king and had a very high status.
The King of Fan originally had an original wife, who had given birth to a prince for him many years ago. This was the King of Fan's first child.
This eldest prince was both talented in literature and martial arts and was very popular among the people. Unfortunately, he died young. He died of illness not long after he got married and had children.
What's even more tragic is that his wife and young son also mysteriously disappeared on a snowy day shortly after his death, leaving only a pool of blood and wolf carcasses in front of the tent.
Everyone thought that they had no chance of survival, but the foreign king refused to give up and persistently sent people to look for them, searching for more than ten years.
Unexpectedly, he really found the child among the wolf pack yesterday. Now he is busy recognizing his ancestors with his eldest wife, and he really can't take care of Shi Li, the princess who was married to the foreign princess.
Shi Li arrived at the tent that Fanbang had arranged for her in advance. She felt relieved when she listened to Han Zhao's account of what he had found out.
She didn't want to attract attention, and her grandson appeared at the right time to divert her attention.
