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

Chapter 219 The meaning of the drunkard
Xie Zhaozhao knew that his childish temper was coming back, so he rolled his eyes at him and did not struggle to get up.

She pinched Yun Qi's shoulders and neck with both hands and pressed slowly with moderate strength.

"I am a very narrow-minded person." Yun Qi suddenly said: "Zhaozhao, do you know?"

"Then?" Xie Zhaozhao asked indifferently: "So?"

"I know that some of the things you said were just for show and expediency, but I still hate hearing them and I'm still unhappy." Yun Qi sighed: "For example, what you said at the dinner."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Forgot."

"You said that you would be willing to marry King Zhou if you could protect him from disaster."

Xie Zhaozhao's hand paused for a moment and continued to press Yun Qi's shoulders and neck, "If you still get angry and unhappy when you know it's a scene, then you are making yourself uncomfortable."

"Ah."

Yun Qi smiled lazily and said, "You almost said I deserved it."

Xie Zhaozhao thought to himself, isn’t it?
Yun Qi sighed again, "I promised to marry you at the end of the year, but now it's good that we only settled the engagement."

Xie Zhaozhao said: "Take your time, this matter cannot be rushed."

Yun Qi said "hmm".

The previous dynasty believed deeply in astrology and numerology, and Emperor Xuanwu once scorned these things.

But as he grew older, he gradually became interested in the numerology of gods, and secretly sent his confidants to find Mr. Star Reacher and his disciple Shen Xianzi.

Therefore, Yun Qi found Lu Jingrong to come to Beijing early.

He returned to Beijing in March. He planned early on how to deal with Chu Nanxuan, then coordinated the court situation, and finally asked Lu Jingrong to reconcile himself and Xie Zhaozhao, and approved the order of Phoenix, so that Xie Zhaozhao could only marry him as his concubine.

But what I didn't expect was that Xie Zhaozhao had her own plan.

She wants to split the first and second bedrooms, and keep the Xie family intact.

Chu Nanxuan implicates the two families of the Xie family, as well as the kings of Liang and Zhou. If he moves too quickly and fails to separate Chu Nanxuan from the Xie family's main house first, then if something happens to Chu Nanxuan, Xie Wei will inevitably be implicated.

As a result, dealing with Chu Nanxuan slowed down.

Yun Qi followed Xie Zhaozhao's pace and slowed down other things.

So now, the marriage contract between Xie Zhaozhao and Chu Nanxuan has been resolved, and the attitudes of Emperor Xuanwu and the Crown Prince towards the Xie family and Xie Zhaozhao have also changed, but it takes little time.

The Chen family needs some time.

Yun Qi was a little annoyed, but he also knew that reaching this situation was actually the best outcome.

Suddenly all the annoyance turned into helplessness. He breathed out a sigh of relief and closed his eyes against Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao pinched his shoulders and neck carefully.

When he was younger, Xie Wei would occasionally feel tired, so Xie Zhaozhao would help squeeze his shoulders like this, and his technique was quite skillful.

After squeezing for a while, Xie Zhaozhao stopped his hand when he felt it was almost done. He was about to stand up, but paused slightly.

She lowered her head to check, and the smile on her lips was helpless and distressed.

Yun Qi actually fell asleep.

You can fall asleep this way!

Xie Zhaozhao was a little hesitant.

What to do?Any movement would definitely wake him up, but if he didn't move... should he be allowed to sleep like this all night?
Just when Xie Zhaozhao hesitated, Yun Qi suddenly frowned, whispered "Sister Xie" in a low voice, hugged Xie Zhaozhao tightly, and he woke up at this time.

He stared blankly at the clothes in front of him, took a deep breath and leaned back to Xie Zhaozhao, "Sister Xie's technique is really unique, she actually squeezed me to sleep."

"It's because you've been too tired recently." Xie Zhaozhao patted his shoulder gently: "You should go back early and go to the East Palace to accompany the prince. Tomorrow, before dawn, you and the prince will lead all the officials to pay New Year's greetings to the Holy One. It’s best to find some time to rest in between.”

"Ah."

Yun Qi sighed and hugged Xie Zhaozhao for a while before reluctantly leaving.

……

Zhou Wangfu

The atmosphere on New Year's Eve was much weaker because the master of the palace and Concubine Ning in the palace were ill in bed.

In the attic where King Zhou lived, a weak candle was lit.

A tall and thin middle-aged steward reported everything that happened at the palace banquet tonight to the king of Zhou.

"He is kind-hearted." King Zhou smiled inexplicably, "He actually asked my father to marry me for the sake of my life. Isn't it just a blessing to be able to withstand disasters if my numerology is consistent?"

"Is it really the day when I can only survive when I am happy?"

The steward whispered: "His Royal Highness Prince Liang is simply a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking."

"Don't I know?" King Zhou snorted coldly, "From the day Chu Nanxuan's identity was exposed, the third brother wanted to squeeze me and his mother to death."

After Concubine Ning in the palace was frightened and became seriously ill and bedridden, King Zhou knew that he could not escape King Liang's revenge.

Therefore, he felt that his "sickness had worsened" and he was completely bedridden. News came out every day that he was about to die, and his family acted as if they were ready to hold a funeral at any time.

This made King Liang not so eager to take orders from King Zhou.

King Zhou said lightly: "He chose Xie Zhaozhao to celebrate this king's happiness. I'm afraid he just fell in love with Xie Zhaozhao. He thought that entering the Prince Zhou's palace would be equivalent to falling into his hands. Let him do whatever he wants."

Recalling the several times he met Xie Zhaozhao, King Zhou sneered coldly, "This Miss Xie Qi is not an economical lamp. Brother Third Emperor should not underestimate her as an ordinary woman."

What's more, Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi are helping him.

The steward listened quietly.

After King Zhou said this, he coughed twice, and the steward immediately sent warm tea to King Zhou.

King Zhou took a few sips to moisten his throat, and then said slowly: "I thought that the third brother could make the eldest brother and Yun Qi suffer a lot, but I didn't expect... the third brother is more than brave, but unfortunately he is not smart enough."

"That's right." The middle-aged steward replied: "In terms of intelligence, His Highness is indeed the best among all the princes. Even the Crown Prince is not as good as His Highness."

King Zhou lowered his eyes, "It's a pity that the eldest brother is both the direct descendant and the elder."

And he won the trust of Emperor Xuanwu, so the others would have no chance.

Why not give others a chance?
If he were in that position, he might not do any worse than his elder brother!

King Zhou's indifferent expression gradually turned dark and profound, "Since the third brother can't do anything, then I will help him. Only in this way can the fisherman benefit from the snipe and the clam."

"Your Highness's orders." The middle-aged steward said with his hands in hand: "I wish I could make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Marquis Pingzhang wants to play both sides of the fence between Yun Qi and Third Brother, but obviously neither end is good." King Zhou curled his lips, "Although he is a bit stupid, he is the eldest son of King Zhongshan after all."

"If he dies unexpectedly in the capital, King Zhongshan will definitely not let it go."

"I understand, little man." The steward responded immediately: "I will dispatch some people right now—"

"Don't rush."

King Zhou said calmly: "It is easy to make mistakes if you act too hastily. Please prepare for a few more days. As for the specific time... the Lantern Festival is a good day."
