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

Chapter 502 Missed
The Crown Princess Lu was a well-educated and courteous woman, and she was a young couple with the Crown Prince. The two had a deep relationship and played the piano and the harp in harmony.

After having Yun Qi, he became even more inseparable and always followed the prince with the army.

But how could her delicate and frail body withstand those bumps?

The princess fell ill not long after giving birth, and died soon after.

It goes without saying that the prince and the Lu family were heartbroken.

Later, when Emperor Xuanwu was in the process of pacifying the world, he chose a daughter from the Wang family for the prince to take care of the prince's life and also look after Yun Qi.

After the world was settled, Emperor Xuanwu and the Crown Prince also intended to promote the Lu family. However, the brothers of the former Crown Princess Lu's family were all of average talent and virtue, and there were no outstanding ones among the younger generation.

If they failed to be promoted, they were rewarded with a lot of land and gold and silver, making them rich in Jinzhou.

Because of his marriage relationship with the prince, he was respected by local officials in Jinzhou.

At this time, when Xie Zhaozhao heard about the Lu family, he couldn't help but ask Yun Qi: "Is there anything going on with the Lu family?"

Yun Qi said calmly: "No...but you asked about your eldest brother, second brother and Aunt Anyang last time. I know a little bit about it in the past two days."

"is it?"

Xie Zhaozhao's interest was suddenly raised: "Come and talk to me!"

Yun Qi smiled and said, "Here?"

so cold!
Xie Zhaozhao asked him patiently: "Then will you stay in the East Palace for a while, or go back to your palace? Or go somewhere else?"

"it's here."

Yun Qi squeezed Xie Zhaozhao's hand and walked forward, "Father asked someone to tidy up a courtyard here for me. I will rest here occasionally."

Xie Zhaozhao said "Okay".

The two of them went to the courtyard called Li Xuetang together. Xie Zhaozhao didn't care to look at the furnishings inside. As soon as he sat down, he asked: "Is it the eldest brother or the second brother?"

Yun Qi sat opposite Xie Zhaozhao and slowly made a cup of tea for Xie Zhaozhao: "Guess first."

"I already guessed it on New Year's Eve. It's the second brother, right?"

when.

Yun Qi brought the tea to Xie Zhaozhao and made tea for himself, "Not bad."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"it is good……"

Immediately, Yun Qi didn't hold back and started chatting with Xie Zhaozhao about what he had heard.

It turned out that Xie Changqing and Xie Changyu were in love with Princess Anyang when they supported King Qiyang's front.

That was already eleven or twelve years ago.

The war was tense at that time, and the generals under Emperor Xuanwu had to divide their troops into several groups to break out.

Emperor Xuanwu and King Qiyang led a group of troops on the same front, but were forced to disperse due to a failed charge. Concubine Xian, Princess Anyang and the Fourteenth Prince fell behind and were pursued by the rebel army.

Xie Changqing, who went to support, rescued them and escorted them back to the main force.

It took about half a year before he met Emperor Xuanwu and King Qiyang.

During this period of more than half a year, the young man and woman had a deep love for each other. After meeting Emperor Xuanwu, they had to reveal everything and get married.

But who knew that on the day of the rendezvous, Emperor Xuanwu promised Princess Anyang to the second son of the Xiao family in Pingkou.

And the wedding date was set on the spot.

Xie Changqing didn't even have a chance to speak.

It turned out that the Xiao family gave Emperor Xuanwu and King Qiyang great help during the half-year period when they were dispersed by the rebel army.

Emperor Xuanwu had already promised the head of the Xiao family to become his son and daughter's in-laws to form a strong alliance.

The Xiao family had all sons of suitable age, but Emperor Xuanwu had only one daughter of suitable age, Princess Anyang.

Xie Changqing was completely unhappy.

However, Emperor Xuanwu was the lord at the beginning, and Xie Changqing was a vassal, and he was afraid of revealing his feelings for Princess Anyang, which would harm Princess Anyang's reputation, so he had to endure it secretly, and discussed with his eldest brother Xie Changyu, asking Xie Wei to deal with it.

It's a pity that Xie Wei was thousands of miles away.Although Concubine Xian had her heart set, how could Emperor Xuanwu go back on what he had already said?

The overall situation requires an alliance with the Xiao family, and the love between the children naturally has to take a back seat.

Xie Changqing could not take Princess Anyang to escape, because it would be unfilial to Princess Anyang. He could not break the marriage, which would also be unfaithful to himself. In the end, he could only leave Pingkou with Xie Changyu on the day Princess Anyang got married. .

After hearing this, Xie Zhaozhao sighed softly: "That's it."

She had made some guesses before, but they were pretty close.

"My second brother... has a very unruly temperament. He has rarely bowed his head in his life. He had no choice but to bow his head in that matter. He must have been very sad in his heart."

That's why he completely garrisoned Yaocheng and didn't return to Beijing for many years.

He resented himself for not fighting, and probably also resented the so-called situation and Emperor Xuanwu's dictatorship for causing a couple to separate.

"probably."

Yun Qi said lightly: "It's just that the situation is different now. Aunt Anyang's prince-in-law died of illness the year before last, and she was left alone to take care of the princess mansion and the children. Your second brother returned to Beijing again..."

"When I went to see Grandpa Huang two days ago, I seemed to vaguely hear that he intended to grant a marriage."

Xie Zhaozhao frowned: "But the second brother has someone by his side, and he is pregnant and will give birth soon."

"It's because of the extra woman that Grandpa Huang is still hesitating now."

Xie Zhaozhao was silent for a while and said with a complicated expression: "It stands to reason that if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. It would be a good thing if the childhood sweethearts of the past could renew their relationship now, but the situation is no longer the same."

Now it's a matter of three people.

Princess Anyang is the apple of Emperor Xuanwu's eye, and Shalan is also the princess of Molan.

If this person is really given a marriage, how will he settle down?

Xie Zhaozhao somewhat understands Sha Lan's temperament. She may not be able to accept someone between her and her second brother, and Princess Anyang may not be able to accept it either.

Xie Zhaozhao sighed again.

It was obviously a happy event, but it ended up in this somewhat complicated situation.

Yun Qi said: "Maybe your second brother can take the initiative and break the situation."

Why doesn't Xie Zhaozhao know?

If the second brother directly asked for marriage and married Shalan, even if it was to appease the various tribes and small clans in Danzhou, Emperor Xuanwu would have no reason to compete with other princesses for their consort.

But the second brother was indifferent.

He also has to go to Princess Anyang's house every once in a while. Xie Zhaozhao is a little confused about what he is thinking.

After a while, Xie Zhaozhao took a sip of tea and said, "I'll find a chance to chat with him."

I just hope it doesn't make things too complicated.

Yun Qi nodded and gave Xie Zhaozhao more tea, "How about the books I gave you?"

"Good……"

Xie Zhaozhao thought of the book and the purpose of his appointment with Yun Qi today.

She took out the soft ruler from her sleeve pocket and said, "Stand up."

"doing what?"

Yun Qi recognized that it was something used for tailoring clothes, and raised his eyebrows playfully: "Would you help me make clothes?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Xie Zhaozhao stood up and stepped forward. He took the tea cup from Yun Qi's hand and put it aside. He pulled him to stand up and said, "I'm bored, just give it a try."

What if I'm not the one and don't do well, and if I tell you now, I'll be embarrassed and lose my fortune, right?

So Xie Zhaozhao decided to be patient and wait until it was really done, it would be a little surprise after all.

Yun Qi chuckled, stretched his arms in cooperation, and watched Xie Zhaozhao pull the soft ruler on himself in a dignified manner.

After measuring according to the instructions given by the nun in the sewing room, Xie Zhaozhao wrote down all the measurements and left the East Palace.
