Traveling through the world of beasts: Controlling the system and building infrastructure

How about it, Your Majesty?"

"Very good"

"Then princess?"

"I am willing to exchange myself for the friendship between the Celestial Empire and the foreign countries. This matter is entirely up to the emperor, the emperor."

I suppressed the bitterness in my heart and tried to get the current emperor to see my tact and allow me to bring more dowry.

If I don't find a way to make up for the big mouth I just asked, I'm afraid I'll be dead when I get there. Seeing that I was so sensible, my father also nodded with a smile.

"Xi'er is so sensible, I don't need to say more. Your dowry will be prepared as soon as possible, Xi'er, just go with peace of mind."

How could I go there with peace of mind? I was unwilling to do so. The deal was done and there was no chance to go back on it. Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction.

I was reluctant at first, but when I saw that I could suddenly have enough food to eat and wear warm palace clothes, I suddenly thought for the first time that marrying a foreign prince might not be such a bad thing.

After all, since ancient times, most princesses were to marry off to other countries. For example, Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo, and the result was very good. Besides, with your own efforts, you can exchange for the safety of thousands of people, which is also a merit. After thinking it through, I began to greedily enjoy this last warmth. They set the date for the marriage very close, I think both sides probably want to get what they deserve, right?

I counted the days every day, waiting for the wedding procession to arrive in the Celestial Empire. I didn't know who I was going to marry this time. I just hoped it wouldn't be someone fat or ugly. While there was still time, I quickly walked to my mother's tablet and knelt down.

"Mother, Xi'er is going to marry in a foreign country. I'm afraid she won't be able to come to see you anymore."

"Xi'er doesn't know when she will be able to return to her hometown after this trip. I hope mother can protect herself. Maybe Xi'er will be able to meet you soon." After saying that, I smiled brightly, trying to let my mother see my smile for the last time.

I also want to find my mother now, but if I die, other women will suffer. It is better to sacrifice me to complete the mission.

The foreign country soon arrived at the Celestial Empire with betrothal gifts and a wedding procession. Everywhere was filled with jubilation, as if everyone was happy about this event. But I didn't know what to do, so I could only take it one step at a time.

When the time came, I sat in the carriage wearing my heavy wedding dress, covered with a red veil, and a sea of ​​red in front of me. The distance between the foreign country and the Celestial Empire was far away. I huddled in a corner of the carriage in my wedding dress, and the more I walked, the colder I could feel. The weather was too cold for this gorgeous wedding dress to withstand.

I kept breathing out, trying to warm myself up. But it was too cold. I felt groggy, but suddenly I wasn't feeling so cold anymore. The sudden warmth made me want to sleep.

I heard that when it is too cold, a dying person will go from cold to hot and then die.

I thought I was going to die, too. My vision went dark and I passed out from the cold.

When I woke up again, it was already night. I lay on the bed, looking around.

This seems to be a tent. I don't know who sent me here. Is this a foreign country? There seems to be no one else in the tent except me. I remember that I seemed to faint on the road. I looked down and saw that I was still wearing the thin wedding dress. The bright red color blinded my eyes. I wanted to call for help, but I didn't know how to call.

Soon a corner of the tent was lifted up, and the cold wind rushed in. I shivered subconsciously.

The visitor was stunned when he saw my expression, then started laughing.

"Princess He'an, don't be afraid. This is a specialty of the foreign country. Eat some to fill your stomach."

When the man smiled, two small fangs were exposed. He looked not much older than himself, and his eyes were sparkling, but one could not see into his eyes.

I didn't say much, but just took the bowl from him. But after a while, I couldn't help but be curious about his identity.

"Who are you? Where are we now?"

I am eager to know the answer to this question and want to know whether my current situation is okay.

"Princess, please eat first. I will answer you after you finish eating."

He didn't answer my question right away, but asked me to eat first.

Seeing this, I stopped talking. I was indeed very hungry, so I ate in small bites, which made him look at me and smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just think the way the princess eats looks a lot like the little mouse I raise."

I stopped what I was doing when I heard that and spoke with some displeasure.

"You are so unreasonable. Aren't you afraid that I will ask someone to chop off your head?"

"I'm sorry, Princess, I mean no harm." The other party waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he really had no other ideas.

I had no choice but to give up. A princess of a country was actually compared with a mouse. But what should I do? There was no one behind me, and there were wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards in front of me.

The man I married did not show up. Does this mean that he doesn't care about my life or death? Or does he just treat me as a pet? I am a princess of a country after all. Even if I came here for marriage, I shouldn't be at such a disadvantage. Although I can't help myself in a foreign place, I can't be so rude. Thinking of this, I put down the bowl and looked at him.

"I've finished eating. Now you should answer my questions. You'd better answer truthfully. If you dare to lie to me, you'll lose your head. Tell me now."

"You will know when you arrive in the foreign country. As for my head, I'm afraid you can't take it away." The man took the bowl and turned away.

Seeing his attitude, I couldn't help but think of what the eunuchs said before. Now Fanguo has a new Khan, who is young and successful. He single-handedly conquered thirteen tribes and resolved the years of civil war in Fanguo. Now the momentum is strong. At this juncture, he took the initiative to propose a marriage. I'm afraid that things are going to change.

I thought maybe the two countries were not as close as they appeared to be. I was afraid my situation was more difficult than I thought.

Forget it, it's useless to think so much now, let's just take it one step at a time. From what that person said just now, I haven't reached the foreign country yet? Oh, I don't know how many mistakes will occur along the way, this road is dangerous.

Just now that man said that I can't take his head away, so he must be of great importance. I shook my head, getting rid of the complicated thoughts in my mind. I packed up and left the tent. The carriage has been waiting here for a long time, I think it was arranged in advance.

I got back on the carriage and admired the scenery along the way. The palace was mostly made of fine craftsmanship. I hadn't seen the outside world for a long time. The trees on the roadside were covered with frost because of the cold. All I could see was ice and snow, like a huge ice and snow world.

The carriage was a bit cold after keeping the curtains open for so long, so I gathered the thick clothes that had just been delivered and hid my head in the carriage again.

After walking all the way like this, I finally set foot on the land of the foreign country.
