As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 190 Ping Zhanghou

Xie Zhaozhao nodded: "Okay."

It was not yet dinner time, so the two of them were playing chess and chatting by the window to kill time.

Charcoal was burning in the house and it was warm.

The window is slightly open, and you can see the scenery outside and the people in a hurry.

In winter, the Yulong River that runs through the entire Holy Capital City is also frozen, and the bank is covered with dry grass.

Because of the cold weather, there were not many people on the street.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't like playing chess. After making two moves, he couldn't help but look out and take a look at the scenery.

Just when Yun Qi was secretly thinking that he shouldn't bring her here so early to sit and waste time, but should go to a nearby place to have a look before having dinner, Xie Zhaozhao suddenly said "Eh".

"What?" Yun Qi asked, following Xie Zhaozhao's line of sight and looking out, and raised his eyebrows the next moment.

I saw a carriage parked in front of a restaurant on the other side of the Yulong River, and an aristocratic woman wearing a David's hat and brocade clothes slowly got out of the carriage.

Being so far away, even if Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi had excellent eyesight, it was impossible to see through the woman's hat to see who she was.

But the two of them recognized the green-clothed guard guarding the woman.

It's Chen Qingci from the Chen family.

"Ah Qi." Xie Zhaozhao turned to Yun Qi: "You said you have a solution to the Chen family. Apart from the matter between her and Chen Qingci, are there any other options?"

The marriage between the Prince of Zhongshan and Yun Qi involves the interests of many parties.

It's not something Chen Shulan can solve if she doesn't want to.

As the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, Chen Shulan has been taught by the family for many years, and she must not be able to ignore the interests of the family for her own selfish desires.

In other words, if she really didn't care about her family, she wouldn't come all the way to the capital.

Yun Qi held the tea cup and said lightly: "Of course -"

As soon as the words came out, a burst of noise suddenly came from the other side.

Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi also looked over there.

I saw that Chen Shulan, who was wearing a curtain hat and was originally helping the maid get out of the car, fell into the maid's arms for some reason. The hat fell off and her face turned pale in shock.

Not far away, Prince Liang, dressed in an indigo wide-sleeved python robe, was sitting on a horse, followed by a group of armored soldiers, looking menacing.

The people around him scrambled to get out of the way.

King Liang only stopped for a moment, and then he led the group of people and ran out.

Chen Shulan, who was left in shock, put on her hat again, but seemed to be no longer in the mood to eat, so she quickly got into the carriage and left.

Yun Qi looked away and said, "Prince Liang has been in a bad mood recently. In addition to being at odds with the King of Zhou overtly and secretly, the palace is also trying to find trouble with Concubine Ning. He goes out to the capital every two days to go hunting."

"It's winter, what kind of prey can we hunt?" Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows: "It might be more credible to say that we go outside to relax."

"Yes."

Yun Qi smiled faintly: "But I go out to relax every few days, so the frequency is a bit higher."

Xie Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat: "Is there anything fishy about him leaving the capital?"

As she spoke, she quickly sorted out many memories of her past and present lives.

I couldn't help but look back at the restaurant where the Chen family's carriage had stopped just now, and a thought flashed through my mind.

"Chen family, Chen family..." Xie Zhaozhao opened and closed his lips, "It seems..."

In the previous life, Chen Shulan and Yun Qi had just begun to discuss marriage, and the prince died suddenly. Emperor Xuanwu was too sad and fell seriously ill, and died not long after.

Chen Shulan's marriage was full of twists and turns. Later, she fell into the water and was rescued by the King of Zhou. Her innocence was compromised.

The king of Zhou announced his willingness to marry Miss Chen.

But before the marriage was even on the agenda, Chen Shulan fell into the water and caught the wind and died.

But because of King Zhou's rescue of the beauty, he also received a lot of benefits from the Zhongshan Palace. The Chen family even selected their second daughter to marry King Zhou as their main concubine.

Before Yun Qi entered the capital, King Zhou was the most popular candidate for emperor, and he had already received the support of the Zhongshan Palace.Now that I think about it, King Zhongshan guarded the northern border and controlled half of the troops of Qin.

With such a powerful force, Emperor Xuanwu wanted to draw Yun Qi to his side, hoping that the founding hero would protect his grandson.

The ambitious vassal kings nearby might not be jealous of this force.

Before Chu Nanxuan's incident, King Zhou had always supported King Liang on the surface.

Then now Liang Wang and the Chen family...

Xie Zhaozhao's expression changed several times.

Yun Qi said quietly: "He is not going hunting, but meeting someone."

……

There is a Qingjing Temple in Yunhua Mountain, fifty miles outside Beijing.

The temple is just like its name, clean and elegant, and there are not many monks along the way.

In the Zen room, sitting on the Arhat bed, was a middle-aged man with a short beard.

The man is dressed in a monk's robe, holds a Buddhist bead in his hand, and is meditating in meditation with his eyes slightly closed.

After a while, the sound of staggered footsteps was heard in the courtyard, as well as the report from the personal guard: "Sir, the distinguished guest has arrived."

"Please."

The middle-aged man put down his prayer beads, got off the Arhat bed, and welcomed a tall and mighty man in a green cloak, "I have met His Royal Highness Prince Liang."

"Excuse me soon."

King Liang gave the middle-aged man a helpless hand.

The two of them went to the Luohan bed and sat down. King Liang said: "This place is quite quiet, but it is too simple and I feel wronged by Marquis Pingzhang."

"I'm a low-ranking official fighting on the battlefield. I'm used to taking things as they come, so I don't think it's anything." Pingzhang Hou smiled.

After the guard made tea for the two of them, he motioned the guard to step back and said, "Has His Highness Prince Liang seen my little girl?"

"See you."

Prince Liang recalled the pale-faced Chen Shulan who fell into the arms of his maid not long ago, with a hint of smile in his eyes, "Marquis Pingzhang raised his daughter extremely well."

"As long as your Highness likes it."

Marquis Pingzhang smiled: "The lower official will come to the capital in a few days to inquire about the marriage granted by the Holy Lord to my daughter and His Royal Highness King Dingxi."

"Okay." King Liang nodded and smiled coldly: "My father has been thinking about this marriage for many years. Now that Miss Chen has been dragged forward, if Pingzhang Houruo mentions it insinuatingly, my father will definitely settle this matter. Come down."

After all, Emperor Xuanwu could not give up a wife family like Zhongshan Palace to others.

"When the time comes, I will ask Xie Zhaozhao to marry my twelfth emperor brother... With Yun Qi's temper, I don't know what he can do."

If Yun Qi turns things upside down, Emperor Xuanwu will definitely be displeased and the prince will be devastated.

In this case, this is his chance.

……

Chen Family Villa
Chen Shulan grew up in northern Hebei.

Although she brought a group of servants with her when she came to the capital, including the cook, for some reason, the taste of the food she cooked was very different from that in northern Hebei. As a result, she did not eat and drink frequently during this period, and she lost a lot of weight.

Two days ago, I heard that there is a restaurant whose ingredients are shipped from Northern Hebei and specializes in Northern Hebei flavor.

She happily wanted to try the taste today.

Unexpectedly, when he got off the bus in front of the restaurant, he was hit by the arrogant and violent King Liang on horseback.

Not only did he lose his Victoria's hat, but his face was exposed in front of everyone, and he also suffered a lot of frights. What else could he think of eating?
He went home on the spot.

Now thinking of the way Prince Liang looked at her, Chen Shulan still felt uncomfortable.
