The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 42 Iron Princess ([-])

"Shu'er, you said you don't want to fight anymore?"

In the Daming Palace, Lin Haojun, who had already planned to proclaim himself emperor, looked at his eldest daughter in surprise when he took off his military uniform and changed back into a woman's attire.

Isn't this kid determined to sweep the six kingdoms and dominate the world since he was a child?
Why do you suddenly not want to fight now?
Even if you really don't want to fight anymore, it can't be now!

You must know that he has already spread rumors that he will proclaim himself emperor, but the Northern Territory has not yet been taken. As time goes by, won't he make the people of the Northern Territory a joke?

At that time, Lin Shu was wearing a light green palace attire, with a tube top embroidered with tea patterns on the inside and a snow-white long gown made of gauze.

This attire made her look like a girl in her cardamom years, so tender that she could pinch water out.

Hearing the question from the emperor, Lin Shu replied in an unhurried manner, "Father, you should also think about it for my son. My son is eighteen this year, and a woman from an ordinary family has already married a woman." .My son has been fighting for the country for these years, and I feel tired. Now I want to rest, why not?"

Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, Lin Shu knew in her heart that the other party was in a hurry.

Before the Northern Territory is peaceful, the world is not yet truly unified, but Lin Haojun is already eager to proclaim himself emperor.

If he can't win the Northern Territory as soon as possible and complete the real unification, I'm afraid he will be laughed at by outsiders.

But is she, Lin Shu, someone who can be forced to do things?

The Northern Territory is definitely a tough nut to crack.

The original owner fought against the Five Kingdoms for three years, but the Northern Territory fought for two full years. The severe winter climate there alone is enough for outsiders to drink a pot.

The original owner was weak after returning, and to a large extent he lost his body in the Northern Territory.

Even after it was pacified there, there were many rebellions.Why did she go there to ask for trouble?
It stands to reason that it should be two years later that Lin Haojun officially proclaimed himself emperor.

At that time, the original owner was 20 years old, and with a long sword in his hand, he laid down the whole country for his father on horseback, and the Linghua Continent was also unified.

After the original owner of the previous life successively conquered Qiyun Kingdom and Xihe Kingdom, because of receiving many letters from Qu Hao and encouraged by her beloved, she chose to continue to march northward to attack the Northern Territory.

At that time, she didn't even know that she was fighting life and death on the front line, but here in the base camp behind, her father and king couldn't wait to become emperor.

The monarch was blocked by Lin Shu's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The queen on the side looked straight, put a pair of pine nuts peeled in her hand onto the plate in front of Lin Shu, and said with a soft smile, "Your Majesty, I think what Shu'er said is right, she is already ten years old this year. It's eight, and the new year will soon be nineteen, so it's time to find her a son-in-law."

Hearing the queen's mention of the son-in-law, Lin Shu gnawed on the pine nuts while quickly recalling the names of those who might become her son-in-law.

There was a queen to smooth things over between the two, and the monarch stood up, walked around in front of the mother and daughter with his hands behind his back, and then pretended to sigh, "But this world is about to be unified, and now it's just It's just a short distance from the Northern Territory..."

If the original owner who is extremely filial is here at this moment, after hearing this, I am afraid that he will immediately stand up and say, "I am willing to share the worries of my father! Take the Northern Territory for my father!"

However, sitting here is Lin Shu, this Lin Shu who calmly eats the peeled pine nuts and refuses to catch the ball kicked by the monarch.

She didn't answer. Seeing that the monarch was about to get into an awkward conversation again, the queen immediately opened her eyes and interjected, "I don't like hearing what your majesty said! Isn't our Shu'er the only general in a country as big as the Ming Dynasty?" ? Your Majesty, please don’t forget that Shuer is still a girl after all..."

After all, the queen could speak, pretending to quarrel with the monarch, and successfully resolved the embarrassment of the latter.

Lin Shu was always there, lowering her head and concentrating on eating her pine nuts.

The monarch observed her carefully, and saw that her expression was not as lazy as before, and she indeed had no fighting spirit.

He had no choice but to plan to consolidate the forces that Daming had conquered, and after Lin Shu figured it out, he would send her to fight.

Thus, Lin Shu's first meeting with the monarch and queen after returning to the palace ended in a seemingly harmonious atmosphere.

In the palace, dusk hangs high.

Sitting in the sedan chair back to the princess' bedroom, the faint light shone through the curtains of the car and shone on Lin Shu's face that had fallen into silence.

Just now in the queen's palace, the queen and the queen seemed to agree with her on the surface, and they didn't mention the matter of going to the northern region.

But in fact, these two people have long regarded the original owner as an invincible weapon on the battlefield.

If they want to attack the Northern Territory in the future, they will definitely send her to lead the army.

This can't work, she has to find a way to get herself out of these things.

Within a few days, for some unknown reason, the heroic deeds of General Lin during the battle at Mutai, the national god of Xihe, were widely circulated in the capital.

These things were widely spread among the people, and for a while, the eldest princess's reputation in the hearts of the people soared.

Lin Shu, who learned about this, knew that these rumors were by no means groundless, and someone wanted to use her to provoke the authority of the soon-to-be emperor.

The higher the people praised her, the more murderous intentions might lurk under the fire cooking oil and flowers blooming.

It must be known that the inner courtyard of the palace is nothing but a hell on earth where people can eat people without spitting out their bones, and it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other.

Lin Shu had thought through all these twists and turns in her mind, but the person who was hiding behind the scenes and attacking the original owner left her with no trace.

She can be sure that the person who assassinated the original owner before is among the group of people around her.

But who could this person be?

Today Huifeng is smooth and the weather is fine, but it is a good day.

Lin Shu had nothing to do, so she left her palace and went out for a stroll.

At this time, Lin Shu did not have the Prince Rong's mansion that was later canonized, so she still lived in the palace.But she is determined not to stay in this palace for long.

She planned to spend another two days before going to tell the queen that she was going to move out.

Seeing that the Eldest Princess had not gone far, the maid who was accompanying her stopped, and stepped forward to ask, "Eldest Princess, where are you going?"

Lin Shu, who didn't know where to go, said casually, "I haven't come back for a long time, and I feel that the palace has changed a lot. You lead me around the palace."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Unconsciously, the maid began to lead Lin Shu around the palace.

During the three years when Lin Shu went out to fight, many places in the palace were maintained and renovated.

The atrium garden that was once Xiaojiabiyu style is now magnificent.

All kinds of grotesque Taihu stones lie in a garden with lush flowers and trees. Along the way, corridors and pillars are carved, and the scenery changes every step of the way. There are beautiful scenery everywhere.

The maid in charge of leading the way walked neither fast nor slow.

Lin Shu, who was following behind, looked around at the vying scenery in the flower garden, and at the same time wrote down the approximate route she had traveled, and compared them one by one with the routes in her memory.

As they walked, the group of people suddenly felt a gust of cool wind with water vapor blowing in their faces.

Lin Shu asked, "Where does this water vapor come from?"

The maid who led the way bowed her head and replied, "Princess Chang, in front of me is a scene in the palace called 'Dongting Water Pavilion'. There are many beautiful colorful crystal stones in it. Would you like to go and see it, Your Highness?"

"Five-color spar?"

Lin Shu estimated that it might be something like a crystal, she nodded and said, "Then go and have a look."

The maid who led the way said "here", and when she was about to reach the water pavilion, she quickly stepped forward and opened the curtain of green vines, only to see a glimmer of light inside.

Seeing this, Lin Shu took a few steps forward, and the maids who accompanied her followed quickly.

Just when she was only two or three steps away from the entrance of the cave, a person came out of the cave.

When the visitor saw her, he frowned slightly, and then he returned to his original state. He paused for a moment, then lifted up his sleeves and saluted Lin Shu, "My subject, Qu Hao, send my regards to Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

After the voice fell, the shout of "please get up" that he expected, did not come in time this time.

Lin Shu didn't speak.

There was silence all around.
