Chapter 217 It's too late to go back, my daughter-in-law is gone!
As soon as Xiao Jue left the Qin family, the news reached the emperor's ears.
After Xiao Chengye heard this, he sneered and said, "I knew that he was just being passionate. Did he think that any woman would like him? That kid Zhen Zhen, I was not wrong about her."
Gao Cheng stood aside with his head lowered and said nothing.
Xiao Chengye continued: "In terms of talent and appearance, the fourth child is countless times better than him. Back then, the fourth child was still on good terms with Zhen Zhen. But at that time, the queen tried all kinds of tricks and could not make Zhen Zhen relent. Now,
Just because she wants Zhen Zhen to nod?"
"With all the unclean people in his harem, it's impossible for Zhen Zhen to nod."
Gao Cheng had cold sweat on his forehead. He only dared to nod in agreement and did not dare to say a single extra word.
After a while, Xiao Chengye suddenly asked: "When did the third child come back?"
Gao Cheng's eyes flashed and he whispered for a day.
Xiao Chengye smiled coolly and said, "Tell him the news about the prince's proposal to marry Princess Anshun, maybe he can come back faster."
The imperial edict of marriage that Xiao Jue dreamed of had secretly reached the hands of the third prince before he went to southern Xinjiang two years ago. It's just that no one knew about it.
The third child is still waiting for Qin Zhen to nod.
Gao Cheng looked at Xiao Chengye's side face and felt chills in his heart.
It is said that there is no father or son in the Tian family, and Xiao Chengye has demonstrated this point vividly.
Didn't he reveal the news to the third prince that the prince proposed to marry Princess Anshun just to drive a wedge between the third prince and the prince?
Did he feel that the third prince and the prince were too close, making him feel threatened?
What's more, the current prince really doesn't know how to restrain himself at all.
Gao Cheng sighed, hoping that the prince could wake up and stop doing stupid things, otherwise he would die faster than anyone else.
——
Southern Xinjiang.
Lou Yan leaned against the doorframe, holding a letter in his hand. He had read the letter back and forth many times.
Qin Da stood two meters away from him, lowering his head and picking his hands. The order given to him by the princess was to ensure the safety of the third prince, so he followed the third prince closely. Fortunately, the third prince was very safe.
Reasonable.
However, what was written in that letter actually made the usually calm third prince read it back and forth many times?
After a while, Yuan Chu came in from the outside, as if he had rolled in ashes, his head was gray and his face was covered in mud.
He picked up the kettle in the yard and drank half of it, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind blows on his face like a fucking knife." Yuan Chu's face looked ugly, and his lips were cracked several times by the cold wind. He didn't even dare to speak too loudly, "This
When will the hellish days end?"
He looked up at Lou Yan, his eyes fell on the letter in his hand, and he asked casually: "What are you looking at? A letter from the capital?"
Lou Yan pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at Yuan Chu, and said leisurely: "A few days ago, the prince asked his father for a decree to marry Qin Zhen as the crown prince."
Qin Da's hand on the side shook, and the knife hit the instep of his foot, which made him gasp in pain.
Yuan Chu opened his mouth in shock, and after a while he said: "Then, then you..."
He didn't finish what he said because he couldn't bear it.
He didn't know what Lou Yan was thinking about Qin Zhen before, but after spending a long time together, he could tell a little bit. What's more, Lou Yan never thought of hiding it.
He looked at Lou Yan's face and said, "You'll be gone for two years. How can any girl afford to wait? What's more, Princess Anshun is not young anymore. If she doesn't get married, she will be drowned in gossip."
."
Lou Yan's face darkened and he said coldly: "Let's see who dares!"
Yuan Chu: "..."
He didn't argue with Lou Yan, he just asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Lou Yan said with a cold face: "Father said that he would only agree to the marriage if Zhen Zhen nods in person."
Yuan Chu raised his eyebrows: "She didn't agree?"
Lou Yan: "Not yet."
Yuan Chu was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but pour cold water on his brother: "If you don't agree now, it doesn't mean you won't agree in the future. She is the Crown Princess, the future Empress, who can resist such a temptation?"
Lou Yan said coldly: "She is different from other women."
Yuan Chu curled his lips and did not argue with him.
Lou Yan put away the letter in his hand, suddenly looked up at Yuan Chu, and asked, "Do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year?"
Yuan Chu was shocked: "It doesn't mean next spring..."
"Do you want to go back to celebrate the New Year?" Lou Yan asked again.
Yuan Chu gritted his teeth and finally gave up. He slapped the table behind him and said in a deep voice: "What the hell, my employer and I have to go back to celebrate the New Year."
He hasn't been back for a long time, and he misses home.
A smile appeared in Lou Yan's eyes, and he said slowly: "Okay, let's go home to celebrate the New Year."
Qin Da on the side slowly picked up the knife that fell on the ground. His eyes turned back and forth on Lou Yan and Yuan Chu several times, and finally he just let out a long sigh.
He had a premonition that in the coming time, he would live in dire straits again, living a life of fighting on the battlefield every day when he opened his eyes.
These two are about to start working hard.
Sure enough, the next day, these two men suddenly went crazy and led their men to attack the enemy crazily.
The enemy soldiers retreated while scolding them, saying they were unreasonable at all.
However, their coach was going home to celebrate the New Year, so there was no reason to talk to them.
The most important thing is that if you go back too late, your wife may be gone.
As the days passed, the situation in southern Xinjiang gradually became clearer, and letters of good news sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and were sent to the capital one after another.
In the Qinzheng Hall, Xiao Chengye's eyes narrowed with laughter as he looked at the success reports in his hands that were getting shorter and shorter.
He thought, and as he expected, the third child became anxious after getting the news and was eager to come back.
The war in southern Xinjiang was fierce, but the capital was relatively calm. However, after the news spread that the prince proposed to marry the princess of Anshun, there was a lot of excitement.
Everyone was thinking, how could Princess Anshun, a female bandit, be worthy of the prince?
The most important thing is that she seems to be still trying to keep His Royal Highness away.
This made those who wanted to enter the East Palace but couldn't get there jealous.
As a result, the Qin Mansion not only had to face the prince's daily visits, but also faced the difficulties of many ladies in the capital. For a time, it was full of people, and it had never been so lively.
Qin Zhen stayed in the mansion for a while, but in the end she was really disturbed, so she took Manman straight to the palace and went to Lou Yan's house to hide in peace.
Linglong was extremely happy when she saw her coming. She cleaned the house where she lived three times, replaced all the things she used with new ones, and paid for the best food and clothing, just because she was afraid that Qin Zhen would live there.
