They had been married for more than four years. The little princess's life was happier than when she was in the palace. Her parents, brother, and husband love her very much.

Although her husband talked less, he was caring and obedient to her.

The princess was not arrogant even though she grew up spoiled by her father and mother. She was just coquettish.

In the past four years, despite the little princess having a good life, she was unable to conceive. Fortunately, her husband did not seem to be in such a hurry. He even tried to console her, "It's okay. We're not in a hurry to have children."

The little princess was not very happy and said, "But my brother's daughter is already two years old. I also want a daughter."

She likes children very much. His brother's wife had given birth to an adorable lovely daughter.

The little princess felt that she could not listen to Ah Yu's foolish consoling on this matter. She was full of expectation and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the temple with my mother and ask for a divination."

He paused and said, "Okay." then he did not forget to remind her, "The weather is cold tomorrow. Remember to wear thicker clothes."

The little princess put her arm around his neck and kissed him on the face. "You should wear thicker clothes too."

Then she looked at him eagerly and said, "The red plum in the palace will soon bloom. Can you pick one for me when you come back tomorrow?"

He stroke her face softly, his voice hoarse, "Okay."

It was the last time the little princess saw her mother when she went to the temple to ask for deviation. She didn't know that her husband had already started to deploy a large army to rebel.

Looking at her innocent daughter, the queen was in a complicated mood. She did not know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to cultivate her daughter into this kind of temperament.

She was not very satisfied with the Southwest king's family, but as the mother of a country, she hid her emotions very well, even her daughter couldn't see it.

"It's not useful to ask Bodhisattva for a child. If the husband refuses to work hard, you can't have a child even if you kneel and break your knees." The queen spoke quite frankly in front of her daughter.

The little princess blushed and took the incense from her mother's hand and said, "He...he's working hard. I don't know if the problem is with my body...or.."

The empress coldly interrupted her, "You are my baby ever since you are young. No one in the world is more valuable than you. In my opinion, the problem still lies in him."

"Mother, what do you mean?" Asked the little princess, after a moment's silence.

"You know it."

The little princess turned her mouth and said, "He wouldn't be like this."

"You're just stupid."

Now the chaos had started. The border had been repeatedly violated, and there were changes in the Southwest king's side. However, the queen couldn't tell their daughter that they were in both internal and external trouble, and she didn't know how long they could last.

She just hoped that her daughter would have more time to live.

The queen was ready to die. Even if the world would eventually be taken away by the Southwest king, she only hoped to save her daughter's life.

Before returning from the temple, the queen held her daughter tightly, her eyes slightly sour.

"Mother, do you miss me? I'll go into the palace tomorrow and stay with you for a while."
