Chapter 384 It is your honor to die for the princess
"After all, I've been in the Cui family for so many years, so my sister and I still have some sisterly feelings." Ah Qi said with a smile, "My sister has probably never seen the imperial palace, right? Maybe she will never see it in this lifetime, so this time I want to take my sister to see it for herself."

When the Cui family heard her say this, they felt that she had not shown off enough, so they planned to take Cui Jing to the palace to make her understand the difference in status.

It must have been uncomfortable for Cui Jing.

As for what she would do to Cui Jing, she really wouldn't. These days she just ridiculed her and destroyed things in Cui Jing's yard.

I guess he just wanted Cui Jing to feel the difference in status and thereby hurt Cui Jing's character.

The Cui family was really unwilling, but now Acui was the ninth princess and Cui Jing was the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, so they could not refuse.

Only four people know the truth.

Your Majesty, Concubine Li, and Mr. and Mrs. Cui Yu.

If Cui Jing dared to disobey the Ninth Princess's words, it is conceivable that she would be embarrassed and would have to be punished.

Cui Chen stared, wanting to say something, but Cui Zhao grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear, "Don't talk, this is the princess."

Cui Chen gritted his teeth, but it was really too much. Hadn’t he bullied Jing’er enough recently?
It was decided that they would set off the day after tomorrow, and A'qi would take Cui Jing with him.

"I have arranged for someone to deliver the secret letter to the capital at full speed. Your Majesty and Concubine Li are both in the palace and will not let Jing'er get into trouble." Late at night, Cui Yu and Ning were lying in the room, neither asleep, and were talking.

"In fact, it's okay to go there once, so that His Majesty and Concubine Li can take a look at Jing'er. With them around, Jing'er won't be wronged."

Ning replied, "Of course, Jing'er is becoming more and more outrageous now, relying on her status to do whatever she wants."

"Let her do as she wishes," Cui Yu said, "there isn't much time left."

Ning sighed and said nothing more.

On the day of departure, Cui Jing followed A'rui to the capital.

She thought she would be in trouble along the way, but unexpectedly, A'rui ignored her and treated her as a transparent person, which made her feel relieved.

After traveling for half a month, we finally arrived in the capital.

Without stopping for long, we headed all the way to the palace.

The Emperor and Concubine Li had known for a long time that their real daughter had arrived, and they were looking forward to it.

Even if they thought this fake princess was a bit too much, they didn't think too much about it for the time being. Now they just wanted to see their daughter who they had only seen once when she was born and never saw again. If the news hadn't suddenly leaked out and the Northern Qi knew about it, these things wouldn't have happened.

However, as long as Northern Qi was in power, the two men did not dare to recognize their daughter.

Cui Qi was very domineering and arrogant, so the two men were naturally dissatisfied. However, they did not want to care too much about it at this time. After all, the other party was about to go to Northern Qi in place of their daughter and might not come back.

Finally they met, and A'qi, like the client, went forward to greet the Emperor and Concubine Li with some anticipation.

At first, Ning said that she didn't dare to give her more because she wanted to hide her identity, and she believed it. It was also because of this that she didn't really do anything to the Cui family later on because of her identity. It was just that she couldn't let go of her years of resentment, so she messed up Cui Jing's yard and felt relieved.

In fact, the words were full of loopholes, but how could a twelve-year-old girl think so deeply?

Later, I suffered in Northern Qi and had no time to think about those things. Every day I was thinking about how to live tomorrow and how to survive until tomorrow.

The Emperor and Concubine Li's attitude towards Ah Qi was not unusual. People in the palace were always good at acting. The two of them looked happy, but they also suppressed a little helplessness.

It was not for A'qi to see, but for Northern Qi to see, so that they would understand that this was the most beloved princess of Southern Qi Emperor Song Chong.

As for Cui Jing who was following behind Ah Qi, the two of them just glanced at her without asking a single question, nor did they dare to ask. They were afraid that if they showed any concern, the people of Northern Qi would notice something was wrong.

The palace arranged for Ah-Qi was naturally the most luxurious, with everything inside being of high quality, even the floor exuding a sense of nobility. "You can live here for a while," Ah-Qi said, "experience it well, this is a rare opportunity."

Cui Jing looked calm, as if she was not afraid of anything, and she was not very interested in anything around her.

If the client saw this, he would definitely be angry and embarrassed.

But Ah Qi was an outsider, so she naturally wouldn't be angry about these things. She brought Cui Jing back to send her to Northern Qi. Cui Jing should have gone there. Southern Qi was not weak either, and it might not be defeated by Northern Qi in a head-on fight. Now there was also the threat of the rebels and barbarians in the east, so Northern Qi didn't dare to really fight.

It was possible to teach Southern Qi a lesson, but Southern Qi resisted and Northern Qi did not dare to really fight.

It was because Southern Qi was too cowardly that they agreed to send the princess over.

The root of the problem actually lies with the Southern Qi Dynasty. The Southern Qi emperor Song Chong was too cowardly, and the Southern Qi ministers were too cowardly. In the end, the client was the only one who had to bear the pain, which was really unpleasant.

If Southern Qi was a little tougher, why would it send the princess to suffer? With the way Northern Qi had been tossing around over the years, it was only a matter of time before the country was destroyed. The emperor of Southern Qi was also ridiculous, he couldn't bear to part with his daughter, and when one plan failed, he came up with another, and in the end, he sent the little girl to suffer. The client also had a pair of parents who were so loyal to the emperor, so of course there was no way to escape.

Two months later, someone from Northern Qi came to pick up the ninth princess of Southern Qi.

A banquet was held in the palace, and Ah Qi attended in all her best attire, still bringing Cui Jing with her. Anyone could see that she was somewhat arrogant and boastful towards Cui Jing, and was not particularly friendly.

On the third day after the banquet, Emperor Song Chong summoned Asui and said a lot of things, such as Northern Qi was fierce and Southern Qi had to send a princess as a hostage so that they would not attack them. For the sake of the people of Southern Qi, she, as a princess, had to make a sacrifice.

When the time comes, I will bring her back, and then all the people of Southern Qi will be grateful to her.

If she did not respond, Nan Qi would also be guilty of suffering.

As for what happened exactly when Southern Qi sent the princess to Northern Qi, people outside actually don't know. How could Southern Qi publicize such a thing? Isn't that embarrassing?
Those who knew about it in the palace did not dare to explain it to the client.

Ever since the people from Northern Qi came, the people around her have been replaced because she was afraid that someone would talk nonsense in front of her and ruin things.

Of course the client doesn't want to go. Who knows if he can come back after going there? It's a strange place.

She didn't understand what it meant to be thanked or to be a sinner.

She only understood one thing: the emperor brought her back because he actually wanted to send her to Northern Qi as a hostage. It was not out of love at all, so she insisted on not going.

There was no way she could resist, so she was tied up and sent over.

Ah Qi also made a fuss this time. If she didn't, the show would be difficult to continue. They had to tie her up and send her over.

Sure enough, after she made a big fuss, the emperor, with a look of grief on his face, ordered people to tie her up. As a result, Concubine Li fainted and fell seriously ill, and had to stay in bed to recuperate.

The people of Northern Qi laughed when they heard this. She was indeed the most beloved princess. Unfortunately, the emperor of Southern Qi was a wimp and could only send his most beloved daughter to Northern Qi to suffer.

Just like this, the Ninth Princess of Southern Qi was tied to the carriage.

Along the way, they never untied her to prevent her from escaping, and someone was watching her no matter what she did.

The Ninth Princess must have been in despair, as she didn't say a word along the way.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the ninth princess of Southern Qi was sent to Northern Qi.

The Southern Qi Imperial Palace, Concubine Li’s Palace.

Concubine Li was crying bitterly when suddenly a voice rang in her ear: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, don't be sad."

what?
When Concubine Li raised her head, she saw A'rui walking in and was completely stunned.
