A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

At noon, several maids forced Xia Taoyuan to drink chicken soup before letting her rest.

When she woke up, Chu Xingluo was sitting in front of her bed, looking at her with a worried look on his face. Xia Taoyuan smiled and asked, "You're here?" She slept soundly without any dreams.

"Are you feeling better? I shouldn't have brought you on board yesterday and let you suffer this." Chu Xingluo's concern was mixed with some self-blame.

"It was me who wanted to take the boat ride. It's not your fault. Look, I'm much better now." Xia Taoyuan indeed felt much better. He no longer felt dizzy and his body felt relaxed.

"I asked my father to choose a day soon. He has already conveyed the order to the Ministry of Rites. I also told my father about your brother's marriage. He said he would urge Prime Minister Wei and General Lu to choose a date for the wedding as soon as possible." Chu Xingluo looked at Xia Taoyuan tenderly.

Xia Taoyuan raised her little face and looked at him, and said, "I follow your arrangements." She had also thought it through. It didn't matter who came first, as long as Chu Xingluo said she would marry her. She didn't want Chu Xingluo to wait too long.

Chu Xingluo was amused by what she said. He scratched her nose and said, "Then marry me, it's up to me."

"Hehe, of course." Xia Taoyuan was overjoyed.

The two spent the whole afternoon in love until Dai'er and Yu'er brought dinner. Chu Xingluo accompanied Xia Taoyuan, feeding her and serving her soup, being considerate. He stayed with her until almost midnight, and left reluctantly after coaxing her to sleep.

Xia Taoyuan woke up the next day. Apart from being a little weak, she was fine. After breakfast, she took a stroll in the garden. She walked into Xiyun Pavilion and sat down against the pillar. She stroked the pillar that she had carved when she was a child and said in her heart: Grandpa and grandma, mom and dad, I am getting married. Your Taotao is getting married. His name is Chu Xingluo. He treats me very well. Don't worry.

Thinking that she might never be able to go back, tears could not help but fall. Dai Er, who came with her, was frightened when she saw her and asked hurriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell again?"

She quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "It's okay if there's sand in my eyes."

After a round, I returned to Yingyuan. As soon as I went upstairs, I saw Zhuer coming up and said, "Miss, the second young lady is here."

Xia Taoyuan said, "Let her come up." Before Zhu'er went down, Wei Qing had already run up.

"Sister, I haven't seen you for many days. You got engaged a few days ago and I wanted to come and see you, but mother wouldn't let me. She was afraid that I would cause trouble for you." Wei Qing came up and gave Xia Taoyuan a hug.

Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "How come you have time to come today?"

"When the maid went to the kitchen to serve food in the morning, I heard Zhu'er and Yu'er say that my sister was sick, so I came here." Wei Qing raised her little face with an innocent look.

"How have you been lately?" Xia Taoyuan asked.

"My mother recently taught me embroidery, and I also embroidered a purse. I will show it to my sister someday." Wei Qing was a little proud.

Xia Taoyuan's heart moved. She had promised Chu Xingluo to embroider a handkerchief for him, but she was clumsy and knew nothing about it. So she smiled and said, "Okay, wait for you to bring it to me. I want to embroider a handkerchief, but I don't know how to embroider it."

"Okay, tomorrow, how about tomorrow, I'll bring it tomorrow." Wei Qing was very happy and looked at Xia Taoyuan eagerly.

Xia Taoyuan agreed with a smile and asked her to come early tomorrow.

After Wei Qing left, Xia Taoyuan asked Zhu'er to prepare needle and thread and silk as she would need them the next day.

In the evening, it started to rain. Xia Taoyuan moved a chair and sat in front of the window, listening to the sound of rain falling on the ground and looking at the gray sky. She thought of Chu Xingluo. He didn't come today. I don't know what he was busy with. It seems that the rain is not going to stop. I guess he won't come in the evening. Thinking of this, she felt disappointed.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting dark. Yu'er and Cui'er brought some medicine and asked Xia Taoyuan to take it. They chatted with her for a while, and then Xia Taoyuan let them go to rest.

She lay on the bed, looking out the window, expecting something in her heart, but the heavy rain drowned her expectations.

In the light of the night pearl, she counted the small treasury. In addition to the jewelry given by Mrs. Wei, there were more than 200 taels of silver and 280 taels of gold. She planned to return the 200 taels to Qi Nanfeng. She also thought about buying some jewelry for Wei Qing after she and Wei Qing finished learning embroidery.

She packed up Qi Nanfeng's two hundred taels and put them into a cloth bag, and placed the rest in a drawer.

Listening to the sound of rain, she closed the window and went to bed.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Chu Xingluo sat at the desk. It was almost midnight, but his uncle Xiao Feng still had no intention of leaving. It seemed that he could not go to the Xiangfu tonight. He felt a little depressed. He was busy all day, and was called by his uncle to discuss matters in the evening. He suppressed the longing in his heart and tried hard to listen to what his uncle said.

"Queying came back from Lingzhou and brought back a piece of news. He said that Cao Liang counted the soldiers in Lingzhou and found that there are 35,000 soldiers. All of them will be used by you in the future. Cao Liang plans to find Ling Xiao, the governor of Anzhou, which borders Lingzhou, and convince him to stand on your side. Anzhou has about 20,000 soldiers." Xiao Feng's eyes flashed with brilliance.

Chu Xingluo understood what his uncle meant. If his father made him the crown prince in the future, it would be fine. But if not, he would rebel.

Chu Xingluo thought that he would stop after killing his uncle Wei Qin, but his uncle not only wanted to kill Wei Qin but also the queen. The reason was that when he was torturing Wei Qin, Wei Qin said that his sister wanted to be the queen. But at that time, Emperor Ying doted on Xiao Rong, Chu Xingluo's mother, and Xiao Feng was on a military expedition with General Cheng Jiao. If he returned with merit, the position of queen would belong to Xiao Rong. Wei was not willing to accept this, so she asked her brother to help her. So there was a rumor that Wei Qin fabricated Xiao Feng's treason, but by coincidence, Xiao Feng really did not come back, and Emperor Ying established Wei a year later.

But it is not that easy to kill the queen. If the assassination fails, the people around her will be implicated. The best way is for Chu Xingluo to ascend the throne and find a reason to get rid of the queen.

Chu Xingluo was conflicted. If he couldn't become the crown prince, he would have to rebel. In the past, he thought it was okay because of hatred. But now, he had Xia Taoyuan. He thought of Xia Taoyuan's words and he had concerns.

Seeing that he looked dazed, Xiao Feng felt dissatisfied and said coldly: "It's late, you should rest too." Then he left.

Although it was late at night and raining heavily, Xiao Feng hunched over as soon as he went out. His years of experience had made him extremely alert and cautious, even though he knew that no one would see him on such a night.

Back in the room, Xiao Feng let out a long sigh. He could see that ever since the Emperor arranged a marriage for Chu Xingluo, this boy had changed. He had become indecisive, and his eyes were no longer as cold and resolute as before, but full of tenderness. Xiao Feng was very dissatisfied.

Xiao Feng understood that Chu Xingluo's change was because of Wei Zhiying from the Prime Minister's Mansion. He agreed and supported their marriage at the time, because Chu Xingluo must have a backer if he wants to be made the crown prince. Wei Mingcheng, as the left prime minister of Beiyue, will definitely be a great help to Chu Xingluo in the future. In addition, Wei Mingcheng and General Lu Ting have a good relationship, so it will not be difficult to get Lu Ting to support Chu Xingluo in the future.

Xiao Feng stood in the darkness for a long time. His motivation to live was to avenge his parents and sister and to find his wife. It was with these beliefs that he was able to withstand the inhuman torture and escape over the years.

Sometimes Xiao Feng wondered if he had done the right thing by dragging Chu Xingluo into this, and if he should have put so much pressure on him. He had also thought about living a normal life after killing Wei Qin, but the words Wei Qin said were like a poisonous snake that lingered around him every day, and it would be hard to vent his hatred if he didn't kill Wei!

He had lived a very tiring life these years, and his greatest comfort was that he had adopted several children that made him proud, and he had taught them well, and they were excellent in every aspect. He sometimes thought that if his wife were still alive and had given birth to a child safely, his child would be fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as his youngest adopted child, Yingge.

After he escaped from Dongxia, he adopted Heilong, Fengwu, Qilin, Queying, and Yingge. Fengwu and Yingge are girls, and the other three are boys. Yingge is the youngest, and Heilong is the oldest. These children helped him a lot, otherwise Wei Qin would not have fallen into his hands.

He also placed Qilin and Yingge in the Prince Jing's mansion, one as a servant and the other as a maid. The two could leave the mansion at any time and know what was happening in Yunjun City in a timely manner.

Heilong and Fengwu were originally undercover in Wei Qin's home. After Wei Qin's death, he transferred the two to Lingzhou. As for Queying, he passed information for him between Lingzhou and Yunjun City.

Xiao Feng moved his feet, went into the inner room, and slowly lay down.

Seeing that the rain showed no sign of stopping and it was already midnight, Chu Xingluo gave up the idea of ​​going to the Prime Minister's residence. Besides, she must have been asleep by then.

Chu Xingluo was also confused. Revenge, revenge, revenge, these two words have taken root in his heart since his uncle came back when he was ten years old. Xia Taoyuan said that he was worried. How could he not be worried when he was thinking about revenge every day? Xia Taoyuan said that he couldn't laugh. How could he laugh when he was thinking about revenge every day?
