After rebirth, she was forced to marry by the sickly prince

Chapter 307 Chapter 307, the prince was forced to marry
Five years later, the sky is cool, and it is more prosperous than any other period.

In the past five years, after the Emperor of Great Liang appointed Xiao Qiyu as the crown prince, the father and son united as one, not only became famous across the border, but also, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty showed an unprecedented great unity, and all the top and bottom worked together to make Great Liang more and more prosperous.

As long as there are corrupt officials, the sword of the prince will cut there himself.

Therefore, the current Great Liang is stronger than before.

Above the border, Liang, a powerful country, holds military parades every year to deter the Quartet and prevent the enemy from invading.

In just five short years, Great Liang's prosperity has reached its peak in history—the fierce general who once garrisoned the border has now become a prince in one fell swoop, and the other three countries are all worried that Great Liang will give birth to the will to rule the world.

However, Emperor Liang was getting old, and his hair was growing gradually.

It's been five years, and he still hasn't found Rong Xi, but what makes him gratified is that his son Xiao Qiyu's level of governance is sufficient to assume the responsibility of a prince.A hundred years from now, it would be a blessing for the world to have such an enlightened master in Great Liang.

However, there is one thing that worries Emperor Liang very much, and that is this idiot, who has not established the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace so far.

"Father, I can rely on you for everything, but this matter alone cannot depend on you. The position of Crown Princess is only given to Mu Yunjiang.

"One day I can't find her, and my son and minister will not make a crown prince for a day."

It doesn't matter if there is no crown princess, what annoys him the most is that this kid is so stupid that he refuses to get close to women. In the East Palace, there are no female relatives, and he guards the empty room day and night.

Although Emperor Liang knew that he had concerns in his heart, other women were nothing but floating clouds in his eyes, but he was the prince, and the prince needs to be passed on by heirs.If you like it, you like it, but Jiangshan Sheji needs successors, how can you be so willful not to touch other women...

Of course, no matter how he persecutes, this kid just remains unmoved.

For this reason, the Empress Dowager once bestowed beauties, and he also issued an imperial decree to send beauties into the mansion, but those women were all driven to live in Huangzhuang by him, and they came to plead guilty the next day, willing to close their doors and contemplate their mistakes, but never admit their mistakes .

Therefore, for five years, he was the only one in the East Palace.

On weekdays, apart from being busy with government affairs, the crown prince is practicing kung fu. In his spare time, he would take the opportunity to visit Mu Yunjiang.

In the end, Mu Yunjiang seemed to have died, and no whereabouts were found.

*
It is the late autumn of the year again.

On this day, during the court meeting in the morning, Emperor Liang said with a somber face in front of all civil and military officials: "Prince, after leaving the court, immediately go to the imperial study to see me..."

After the imperial court was over, Xiao Qiyu followed his father back to the imperial study, feeling a little depressed in his heart. Without him, the fifth younger brother Xiao Qiling had good news today. He and Meng Jiang gave birth to a pair of dragon and wind fetuses. This is their third. Four kids now.

On the other hand, he didn't even keep a woman. As an old father, he was so angry that he hated him for not spreading his branches and leaves. Therefore, after giving his name today, he turned black on himself.

Alas, in the past, he was extremely eager to get his father's love, but now, he thinks it's good that his father didn't value him so much. At least he won't force himself to have children or accept women.

Headache.

"Give me a time limit!"

As soon as he entered the study, Liang Emperor Xiao Li gave an order:
"When are you going to find out before you give up? Xiao Qiyu, you are the prince. The task of the prince is not only to supervise the world, but also to ensure the successors of this country."

It's time to teach again.

"Father, my son is only 27..."

He tried hard to emphasize that he was still young.

"When I was 27, the children were running all over the place."

Xiao Li stared at this troublesome son.

In the past, I hoped that he would have no children and grandchildren, but now I hope that he will have hundreds of sons and grandchildren.

This kind of ambivalence is really beyond words.

"Father, my son wants to wait a little longer. Now, you are healthy and healthy. As for my son, he is also busy all day long. Everyone is busy. When I need to consider the heir one day, if my son hasn't found her , isn’t there still the two sons of the Fifth Brother’s family? The big deal is to adopt one..."

He had already thought about it a long time ago, this is an impossible solution.

Xiao Li was so angry that he threw a good inkstone over.

Xiao Qiyu quickly caught it, and hurriedly explained: "Father, if my son marries again, A-Jiang will never get him back again. Just pamper your son once... the son will only be willful this time. The son only wants her. She has a strong temper and cannot tolerate my three wives and four concubines. Father, if my mother is here, if you have so many harems, do you think she is willing to stay?"

Xiao Li was at a loss for words, staring at the glazed jade bottle in his hand, lost his mind:
So, all these years, I haven't found Rong Xi, is it because of this reason?

Ugh!
Nine times out of ten he thinks it is.

That woman was too good to be true.She had said so when she got engaged.Later, she did the same.As long as he is not clear with other women, she will never forgive him.

Then after so many years, he accepted one after another, she must hate him.

Thinking of it this way, he was depressed!

Putting down the innocent jade bottle, he sat down, motioned to the servant beside him to press his temples, closed his eyes, and when the tone subsided, he finally changed the subject:

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter, let's talk about Da Qi, what do you think of Da Qi's situation?"

Finally got down to business.

In the summer of last year, great changes took place in Daqi. A plague broke out in the capital. Countless royal families suffered misfortune throughout the palace. The princes died one after another.Basically all dead.

Later, the plague was brought under control, and the comatose emperor woke up. The empress announced to the outside world that she had recovered the princess who had failed for 20 years. After being tested by the high priest with the Allure Jade, the princess was the rightful heir of Great Liang.

At the beginning of this year's spring, the princess had already been appointed as the crown prince—the most strange thing was that when the crown prince entered the palace, she was already married and had a daughter.The little princess is four or five years old.

And so far, no one outside has ever seen the face of the Empress Dowager.

It is said that the Empress Dowager has been wearing a half-face mask. According to Tian Jiansi, until the day when the Empress Dowager ascends the throne, the Empress Dowager needs to half-cover her face.

It's so mysterious, and I don't know what it is for.

And once the heir is determined, then the heir's marriage will be put on the agenda, after all, the emperor's heir has been a major event since ancient times.

No, Da Qi also fell into the embarrassing situation of forced marriage.

The empress dowager must have been married before, but after she returned to Beijing, she did not see her husband with her. Except for a few close relatives in the royal family, no one knew what happened to the empress dowager's first marriage.

If the Queen Mother had given birth to a son in her first birth, she would not have been forced into a marriage, but she gave birth to a little princess. Could it be possible that the throne will be passed on to the princess in the future?

Therefore, the emperor began to urge the marriage in various ways—there was no way, the emperor was extremely weak now, and could not give birth to a prince at all.

And the emperor's brother, Li Han, the King of Zhenbei, fell off his horse during a hunt before, and fell into a hemiplegia.

Daqi's weakness began.

Emperor Qi also had no choice but to finally believe in the words of the high priest and establish a royal daughter, so that the great Qi can prosper...

It didn't start from March, he started to urge the marriage, until now in August, the empress dowager remained unmoved.

As a result, as soon as October came, Emperor Daqi issued an imperial order to choose a husband for the empress dowager:

As long as unmarried young talents from the five lakes and four countries can go to Daqi for election, as long as they win and are selected by the princess, they can enter the royal family.

Thus, a competition for the captain of the Eastern Palace Consort is about to kick off.

"Father, now many unmarried talents have gone to Daqi. The Eastern Yue and the Northern Jin Dynasty have sent princes there. This selection has stricter regulations on age, appearance, and requires both civil and military skills. Yes, must be married...

"If one of Daqi's officials is selected by the princess, then this official will become the captain of the Eastern Palace Fuma.

"If the princes of other countries are selected and willing to marry, then this prince will also be named a prince and enjoy the food.

"The crown prince promised that she will only marry one husband in her life and will not choose another husband. However, the son-in-law also has to promise that she will only be married to the crown prince in this life. If she disagrees, she will be divorced..."

Xiao Qiyu was quite curious about this princess.

The important thing is that for more than a year, this princess, who has been living among the people since she was a child, handles government affairs like a fish in water, and Daqi's opposition can't catch the slightest mistake.

However, in just over a year, the empress dowager brought the turbulent situation in Daqi under control due to the plague.

Now that he is choosing a husband, Daqi should want to stabilize Daqi's military and people's morale through marriage, and more importantly, to develop Daqi's economy.

"Our Great Liang should also send someone to take a look..." Xiao Li had such a plan: "Who do you think is more suitable?"

"We don't have a married prince in Great Liang. Qi Zhe is only 16 years old this year, and he is not yet an adult. There are unmarried disciples in other clans, or can I ask Xiao Qirui? He is twenty-one this year, because the old prince and the old princess have passed away. , has been keeping filial piety, and has never been married..."

Xiao Qirui is the child of Emperor Liang's younger brother, and now he has become Xiao Qiyu's follower.

"Or Xiao Qihe, even if he is a little older, the second elder brother has never been married. He has no children, so it is suitable."

Now there are only these two candidates who are more suitable.

"Well, then this matter, you go to pass a decree, and do it right away!"

"Yes."

"Also, you must rest assured me about your marriage."

What Xiao Li is most concerned about right now is this son's marriage.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xiao Qiyu's attitude is absolutely perfunctory.

When he returned to the East Palace, Asuo hurried in from the outside, "Your Highness!"

"Where did you go today? I didn't see you in the morning..." Xiao Qi drank tea and looked at the most loyal guard beside him.

"I went out to the Eastern Palace to meet a painter, saw a painting, and then brought the painter..."

This thing was done a little strangely.

"What did you bring the painter for?"

"Your Highness, after seeing this painting, you will know why..."

Asuo held the painting in his hand, and after speaking, he unfolded the scroll.

In the painting is a little girl, wearing a red skirt with fluttering skirts, her small face is pink and jade-carved, her eyes are innocent and innocent, her smile is brighter than that of peach blossoms, and she is holding an antique lantern in her hand.

Xiao Qiyu's eyes were straightened, and the teacup in his hand almost fell to the ground:
"Qing Huan?"

"Yes, the person who drew the picture is Qing Huan."

Asuo nodded: "But her attire is Nan Qi's attire. The important thing is: this person is not drawn casually by the artist, but drawn from memory after seeing the real person. Even if there are deviations , but this voice and smile are clearly the little Princess Qinghuan..."

Xiao Qiyu hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, and took the painting over: "Qing Huan is dead, and now there is another Qing Huan in Southern Qi? Also at such an age? How is this possible?"

Qing Huan is really dead, even if she is not dead, more than five years have passed, if the child is still alive, she should be an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and the doll in the painting is still about four or five years old.

"Quick, Biography Master."

Xiao Qiyu's voice revealed unprecedented excitement.

"Yes."

After a while, the painter was uploaded.

It was an old man with half white hair, who respectfully saluted Xiao Qiyu: "The old man pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Qiyu lifted the man up, "Excuse me, old man, did you draw this painting?"

"Return to Your Highness, yes."

"Who is the girl in the painting?"

"Okay, I don't know."

"How could you not know."

"It's like this, one day, the old man was visiting Baibi Mountain in Southern Qi, and met this girl in a small temple in the mountain, accompanied by a pair of brothers and sisters.

"Wearing a red dress and holding a red light, the doll walks among the flowers and plums in March, smiling very beautifully.

"I happened to be painting, so I drew this lively little doll...

"For a long time, I have never been willing to sell this painting. I always feel that I must meet someone who is destined to take good care of this painting..."

The old man said very frankly: "Now that my old wife is sick, Lao Qiao hangs up this painting and wants to sell it. It's a pity that the money offered is too expensive, and no one is willing to buy it. Until I met a girl who gave the old man a piece of paper. Zhan Jinzi bought the painting..."

At this time, Asuo added: "This is Miss Mu who met by accident, bought it with a lot of money, and sent a letter to me. I didn't know that there is such a painting in the world..."

"Do you know what the girl's name is?"

Xiao Qiyu asked again.

The old man thought for a while and said: "I once asked the disciples in the monastery, and they said that the three lived somewhere on the mountain, and they never told anyone their names, only the older brother and sister called them: Huanhuan."

Huan Huan?

she is still alive?

wrong!

She is dead.

Then what is the origin of this Huanhuan?
After sending the old man away, Xiao Qiyu paced back and forth in the study, wondering what the mystery was.

But he has already decided that he must go to Daqi himself.

However, this decision was strongly opposed by Liang Emperor Xiao Li: "No, you are the crown prince, and you are going to the hinterland of Daqi. Are you crazy? If something happens, who can save you?"

The emperor firmly disagreed.

Now, the assassins from other countries all want to kill him and then go out of Great Liang. For Xiao Qiyu, that is a risk.

However, no one could stop Xiao Qiyu from going south. That night, he took Asuo and quietly left the palace and sneaked out of Tiandu.

During this trip to Southern Qi, he was determined to find out that little girl who hid herself so well and avoided him for five full years. No matter how angry she was, she should have calmed down!
