Chapter 111: Princess Protecting the Nation
Chapter 111: Princess Protecting the Nation
A flap of a butterfly's wings across the Atlantic could cause a storm of extinction.
Seemingly unrelated things can, after a series of permutations and combinations, become the horn of fate blown by the god of death.
[Half an hour ago, someone was hunting in the mountains. ]
[One of his arrows was nailed to a weathered rock.]
[The soil beneath the rock had long been washed away by the underground river. The cracks formed by this tiny impact, under the impact of the wind caused by a bird flapping its wings, tore the entire mountain wall apart.]
【The mountain collapsed.】
[As the stone rolled down, it hit a century-old tree.]
[The huge body of the ancient tree fell down, intercepting the rubble, forcing it to change its course and eventually land right in front of us.]
Ji Qionghua's tone was sad.
Natural disasters seem unavoidable, but if we trace the original source of some natural disasters, they may be caused by man-made disasters.
The man who said he found gold in the mountains was lying and bragging.
A drunken lie, a group of greedy people, and a variety of coincidences successfully sounded the death knell and almost ruined the rest of an emperor's life.
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise coming from the front, and everyone saw thick smoke billowing from the mountains and forests.
The power from nature impacts the human mind.
They marveled at the power of nature and were grateful for their good luck.
But not all living things are lucky.
A large amount of rubble rolled down the mountain and hit the middle of the road.
A fleeing rabbit was hit by a piece of gravel as it passed through, and was crushed into a pulp.
During the collision, the flying stones in the air pierced the wing of a bird flying low, causing it to fall into the dust and meet its death.
The blood that fell from the air just happened to drip into the eyes of the horse in front.
The frightened horse neighed violently and raised its hooves in a restless manner.
A soldier riding on horseback tightened the rope and was forced to lean back, and his head was kicked by a horse behind him that raised its hoof.
The horse's hoof struck the soldier hard, and he fell to the ground, crushing a bug to death.
The smell of dead insects attracts ants around them.
After the noise died down, the ants began to tentatively approach.
One can imagine the shock in the hearts of those who witnessed it all.
Amid the rolling dust, the Queen held Ji Qionghua's arm extra tightly.
"Qiong Huaer..."
She shouted, silently thanking in her heart.
If it weren't for Qiong Huaer, the casualties this time would have been unimaginably heavy.
"Mother."
Ji Qionghua touched the queen's face and spoke in a sweet tone.
"Not afraid."
"Don't be afraid, mother."
The queen smiled reluctantly with the corners of her lips raised.
The emperor, who was guarded by the crowd, looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his heart like the turbulent sea, with waves everywhere.
If it weren't for Qiong Huaer, he would have died today.
"Our emperor is blessed by heaven. Long live, long live, long live!"
A group of people reacted and realized that it was the emperor who ordered them to stop, so they knelt down and kowtowed.
At this moment, everyone present was kneeling.
The grand scene was like treating the emperor as a god.
Amidst the public worship, the emperor walked up to the empress, helped her up, then picked up Ji Qionghua and made her face everyone.
"You all are my beloved daughter, so I will spare you from danger."
"She is the one who is truly blessed by God."
"She is my lucky star, and also the lucky star of the whole dynasty. I hope you will keep this in mind."
The emperor spoke every word seriously and in a loud voice.
"From today on, I will confer upon the Ninth Princess the title of Princess Protector of the Nation, with the same status as the Crown Prince, to bless the common people."
The emperor's words echoed in the ears of the court officials.
Even with such auspicious signs before them, they did not expect that the emperor would confer such a great title on the Ninth Princess.
With the same status as the crown prince, does it mean that when the Ninth Princess grows up, she will have to go to the court and participate in government affairs?
But how can women interfere in politics!
Some people with rigid minds will refute it.
But the prince, who was at the front of the crowd, bowed with a smile on his face.
"My son, I obey."
The prince has expressed his opinion, and those standing behind him have echoed him.
Duke Anguo and others also kowtowed.
"Your humble servant greets the Princess Protector of the Nation."
For a moment, most of the court officials who came supported the emperor's decision, and the rest could only acquiesce with gloomy faces.
How to refute.
Now the Ninth Princess is blessed by God.
How could they possibly rebel against the Heaven?
【what? 】
【Why didn’t anyone ask me if I agreed? 】
[What? Princess Protector of the Nation. It sounds like a big responsibility. 】
Ji Qionghua's heart was buzzing with crickets.
She is a person who is determined to lie low. Once this title comes out, will she be able to just sit back and watch if anything happens in the future?
Ji Qionghua twisted her body, trying to get out of the emperor's arms.
However, the emperor was determined to give the little girl Dachen the highest honor today and would not allow her to refuse at all.
"Yeah, hey!"
"Let go of the nest!"
Ji Qionghua bit the broken words, her little face puffed up with anger.
"It seems that Qiong Huaer likes this title very much."
After the prince stood up, he teased the little one with a smile on his face, not showing any dissatisfaction at all about being threatened by a princess.
Qiong Huaer deserves the best things in the world.
Even if his father does not confer the title, he will find a way in the future.
"what!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Ji Qionghua could not struggle anymore, so she hugged the emperor's finger and bit it.
Don’t mention it, little Nuomi’s teeth are starting to hurt.
The landslide ahead has stopped, and teams have begun to repair the road, trying their best to create a passage.
The large force could only pause here.
Ji Qionghua sat on the grass with his chin propped up in a daze.
Bu Bai was wagging his tail and circling around her, chasing away the insects that were approaching.
[So annoying. ]
The little guy was very unhappy.
She had a stern face and ignored everyone.
That angry little look made the crowd of onlookers laugh so hard.
"Ugh!"
She sighed, and the little bun in her hair was pinched.
It’s the Duke of Anguo who is impatient.
"Your humble servant greets the Princess Protector of the Nation."
Duke Anguo pretended to salute, and his mocking look made Ji Qionghua put her hands on her hips and glare.
She stood up crookedly and prepared to bypass Duke Anguo.
"Ahem, Qionghuaer, don't be angry, it's Grandfather's fault. Look, do you like it?"
Duke Anguo took out a little rabbit woven out of grass leaves and handed it to Ji Qionghua.
Speaking of this, the rabbit that the prince gave was frightened to death by the noise of a landslide.
Chao Yu and Ling Yu both packed up the rabbit and prepared to stew it into soup on the spot.
Can't waste it.
Ji Qionghua looked at the rabbit, pouted, and put his hands behind his back, refusing to take it.
[You can't treat me as a little brat! 】
The little guy humming in his heart, that look never left his eyes.
You know what, it’s quite realistic.
"What about this?"
Duke Anguo took out several small animals in one breath, one of which was not white.
"Wang Wang!"
Bubai was the first to express his love and even brought the rabbit to Ji Qionghua's feet.
【traitor! 】
The little princess picked it up reluctantly.
She looked at Duke Anguo, her eyes rolled, and then she chuckled evilly.
[Grandfather, my eldest cousin has brought his bandit wife and a group of fierce bandits to attack the Liu family.]
