When Ziqing saw the princess coming back, she was about to step forward, but found that the princess was unhappy and entered the room without saying a word.
Her heart suddenly thumped. When the prince and princess came back, they must have met Eunuch Liu and found out about the marriage!
It's over, it's over! The princess must be very sad! Otherwise, she wouldn't be so depressed when she comes back!
She stood outside the door and looked into the house with some worry.
Xie Yao saw the figure at the door from the corner of her eye, "Ziqing, is something wrong? Come in and talk."
"Yes, Princess." She responded and stepped in cautiously.
"Princess, are you... are you thirsty? I will make you a pot of tea, please?" Zi Qing saw that the princess looked a little depressed, and suddenly felt distressed. She couldn't bear to mention the marriage, for fear of irritating the princess.
"No, I'm not thirsty." Xie Yao responded in a low voice, seeing that Zi Qing seemed to have something to say, "Just say what you have to say, don't have any scruples."
"Princess, slave..." Ziqing hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and decided she had to say it! She couldn't see the princess so sad!
"Princess, you don't need to worry too much about the imperial edict. After all, the imperial edict is the emperor's will. The prince can't help it. But the prince's heart has always been on the princess. This slave can see this very clearly. The princess can rest assured!" Zi Qing!
He finished all the words in one breath.
Xie Yao's heart felt warm. It turned out that Zi Qing was worried that she would be sad because of the imperial edict.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. Just go and do your thing." She slightly twitched the corner of her mouth to indicate that she was fine.
Seeing that the princess didn't even want to say anything, Zi Qing felt even more worried, "Princess, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The prince is a prince, and now the prince is the princess in his heart."
Xie Yao smiled when she heard this. Some of the deep-rooted ideas of this era are actually difficult to change. She smiled and asked Xiang Ziqing, "If you get married, do you want your husband to be loyal to you, or will you help him marry?"
Wives taking concubines?”
"I don't want to get married! I want to stay with the princess all my life!" When Ziqing heard about the marriage, she quickly refused.
Xie Yao's eyes paused slightly due to Zi Qing's reaction, "I mean what if."
"What if..." Ziqing bit her lip, "I, I don't know! I have never thought about this problem."
But if it is a princess, of course she hopes that the prince will be alone!
"Okay, it's okay, go and do your work." Xie Yao patted Zi Qing gently, indicating that Zi Qing didn't need to worry.
The question just now was asked naturally because it came to my lips.
What she wants is probably something that no one here can understand.
"Princess," Zi Qing hesitated, hesitating and not wanting to leave. The current princess made people feel distressed, and she wanted to stay with the princess. Even if she didn't say a word, she would just stay with the princess silently.
Xie Yao looked at Zi Qing's expression and guessed that Zi Qing wanted to comfort herself, so she smiled and said: "It's okay. Even if the father doesn't grant a marriage today, someone will marry into Prince Han's palace in the future, but it will be sooner or later.
It’s just a problem, there is no difference.”
"As you said, as a prince, the prince is destined to have three wives and four concubines! This is not something I can stop. Since I can't stop it, I won't stop it, and there is no need to bother with this matter."
After hearing what the princess said, Ziqing suddenly felt sour in her heart and couldn't help crying, "Princess, don't worry! Even if others marry into Prince Han's palace, I will never let them bully you! If they bully the princess
, I will be the first to avenge the princess!"
As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Seeing Zi Qing crying, Xie Yao was helpless and couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't cry, Zi Qing. I don't feel bad about your princess, but you do. Why does it seem like you are the one your husband wants to marry again?"
Ziqing cried for a while, then stopped and wiped her tears, "Princess, I'm sorry, I was just sad for the princess and couldn't hold it back for a while."
"Princess, the slave is out. Princess, have a good rest. If you need anything, be sure to call the slave." She bowed and immediately went out with some annoyance.
She came to comfort the princess, why did she cry instead? How stupid!
After Zi Qing left, Xie Yao's eyes turned outward, her eyes darkening.
Chu Han should be back soon.
…
Palace gate.
A figure suddenly hurried over, but instead of entering the palace, he stopped directly outside the palace gate.
Hong Ye raised his eyes, looked at the majestic palace gate in front of him, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
The people around him were immediately startled, and they all looked over.
When the palace guards saw someone making trouble, they subconsciously stepped forward to chase them away, but after seeing clearly that the person was Hong Ye, they quickly gave up the idea.
Everyone knows Prince Hong’s temper. If you can’t offend him, you can’t hide him! Anyway, the emperor will not punish Prince Hong for such a trivial matter!
Anyway, this is the entrance to the palace, so let's make a fuss. If you stop it rashly and try to get yourself in, you will lose more than you gain.
No one stopped him, and Hong Ye continued to shout as if no one was watching, "Your Majesty, why did you marry Princess Minghui to His Highness Prince Han? This is unfair! You knew that I had always been deeply in love with Princess Minghui, but you still wanted to beat the couple.
How embarrassing is this!"
"I ask your Majesty to give me a chance to compete fairly. Don't let an imperial edict decide the fate of the three of us!"
Seeing the excitement, people nearby immediately gathered around.
"Isn't this Prince Hong? Why does he seem to be hurt by love?"
"Didn't you listen? He liked Princess Minghui. As a result, Princess Minghui was given a marriage by the emperor to His Highness Prince Han. She is very sad right now!"
"How dare you rob King Han's woman? Prince Hong must be too courageous! And it's a marriage granted by the emperor!"
"What matters in marriage is the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Since the marriage is granted by the emperor, it is a bit inappropriate for Crown Prince Hong to still be here and refuse to give up."
When Hong Ye heard the comments from the people around him, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he directly raised his voice to retort, making the matter worse, "Who said that marriage only depends on the fate of the parents and the words of the matchmaker? How about two people who are in love with each other! Princess Minghui and I are two
We are in love and love each other deeply! Now we are to be ruthlessly torn apart by the emperor, what have we done wrong?"
"Ask yourselves, how would you feel if the woman you loved deeply was forced to marry someone else? Will you redress your grievances? Will you bravely stand up and seek justice for yourself?"
After some questioning, the crowd fell silent, with anger and unwillingness flashing across the faces of several men.
It’s not that this kind of thing doesn’t happen, but it actually happens to some people!
Seeing that everyone had been persuaded by him, Hong Ye turned to the direction of the palace gate and shouted again: "Your Majesty, my feelings for Princess Minghui can be seen from the blue sky! Please give me a chance, and give it to all the loving people in the world."
