Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Miao didn't expect that Zhang Ruyi would be so bold as to marry a foreigner far away.

Even if you can't marry into a good family in the capital, marrying outside the capital is better than marrying into a foreigner.

Xu Miao and his wife discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come to any conclusion. They felt that Zhang Ruyi had lost his head.

"In fact, the emperor can refuse the marriage proposal from the barbarian tribe leader." The lady continued to say to Xu Miao.

"After the banquet, the Duke told me about this tribe. It's a relatively small tribe among the barbarians, and for unknown reasons, the barbarians sent them as envoys this time."

"The Emperor's questions at the banquet were partly out of a desire for marriage, but mostly out of a desire to give this leader some face."

"I didn't expect Zhang Ruyi to actually agree. I think the Emperor was quite surprised too."

As for why Zhang Ruyi decided to marry a foreigner, it was because she was provoked by Xu Mingzhu.

Zhang Ruyi had been confined to the backyard of the Zhang Mansion for almost a year. When she stood at the birthday banquet again, she saw her arch-enemy Xu Mingzhu sitting next to the prince in a glamorous manner.

Zhang Ruyi thought about it over and over again this year and felt that her miserable situation today was caused by Xu Mingzhu.

If Xu Mingzhu had married into the Zhang family earlier, she wouldn't have tried to get the wife of Duke Dingguo.

If she had not gone to capture the wife of Duke Dingguo, the Empress Dowager would not have sent people to Zhang's house to discipline her.

All of this was caused by that bitch Xu Mingzhu.

At the birthday banquet, Zhang Ruyi had already forgotten all the respect and humility that her nanny had taught her.

She was thinking about how to surpass Xu Mingzhu.

When he heard that the tribal leader wanted to arrange a marriage, he thought that the leader's wife was a queen after all, which was better than Xu Mingzhu being the prince's concubine, so he jumped out and offered to marry on behalf of the Great Zhou.

Zhang Ruyi did not feel any regret later. She thought that if the tribal leader was a powerful person, she would become the most powerful woman in the entire barbarian tribe.

Xu Miao had no time to care about Zhang Ruyi's affairs. She had already made an appointment with Zhou Jicheng to leave the capital for the northern border three days after the empress dowager's birthday banquet.

Early in the morning on the day of departure, just as it was getting light, Zhou Jicheng brought a few guards to the gate of the courtyard where Xu Miao lived.

Xu Xiaoman was in the gatehouse in the front yard. When he heard the sound of horse hooves outside, he knew that Zhou Jicheng had brought people to the yard to pick up Xu Miao and the others.

If we were to ask who is most excited about this trip to northern Xinjiang, Xu Xiaoman would definitely be the first one.

Xu Xiaoman didn't expect that Xu Miao would take his casual chat with him on New Year's Eve seriously and even ask Xu Jingyi to take him to Northern Xinjiang.

When Xu Jingyi told him to go to Northern Xinjiang with Xu Miao, he was shocked.

"Dad, what did you say? You asked me to go to the Northern Frontier with my second sister to join the army, and the Sixth Prince took me with him!"

"Dad, is this true? Can I really join the army in Northern Frontier?"

Xu Jingyi looked at Xu Xiaoman, who was kneeling on the ground, like a fool: "Why would I lie to you? It was your second sister who begged me to let you go to Northern Xinjiang with her."

"Your second sister is quite formidable. She even managed to get the Sixth Prince hooked before she even left Duke Dingguo's mansion. How come I never realized she was capable of this?"

"If I knew she was so alluring, I should have married her to the palace. Maybe she could have become a concubine."

Xu Jingyi didn't dare to think about the queen, because the queen was not someone that ordinary people could dream of.

Xu Xiaoman didn't hear what Xu Jingyi said next. He just heard that Xu Miao wanted to take him to the northern border to join the army.

As for who he would follow in the northern border, Xu Xiaoman didn't care. As long as he could have a chance, he would try his best to fight for it.

Xu Jingyi didn't care at all about Xu Xiaoman following Xu Miao. Even the travel expenses were given to Xu Xiaoman by Xu Miao's mother.

Xu Xiaoman knelt in front of Xu Miao's mother with tears streaming down her face: "Aunt, I have lost my mother, and my father has never treated me as a human being."

"Over the years, it was you, Auntie, who single-handedly raised Xu Zhier and me. I, Xu Xiaoman, will never forget your kindness."

"Don't worry, Auntie. Even if it costs Xiaoman her life, Xiaoman will protect my second sister and let her live a good life in the Northern Frontier."

The girl also burst into tears after hearing this.

Last night, Xu Miao told Xu Xiaoman: "Go to bed early tonight. We will set off for Northern Xinjiang early tomorrow morning."

Xu Xiaoman couldn't sleep at all. He sat excitedly in the gatehouse of the outer courtyard all night, and looked out through the crack of the gate when he had nothing to do.

I can’t wait for dawn to come.

After tossing and turning all night, Xu Xiaoman had just dozed off when he heard a chaotic sound of horse hooves coming from the quiet street.

He stood up and peeked through the crack in the door, and saw several guards on tall horses standing at the gate of the outer courtyard, led by the Sixth Prince Zhou Jicheng.

Xu Xiaoman picked up the small package he was carrying and ran to the backyard.

"Second sister, are you up yet? The Sixth Prince is waiting outside."

Before Xu Xiaoman could finish his words, he saw Xu Miao and Chun'er push the door and walk out of the main house and appear in front of him.

Xu Miao was so excited that she couldn't sleep well that night. The closer she got to leaving the capital, the more she felt that going to Northern Xinjiang was the right decision.

Because they had to leave early this morning, Xu Miao and Xu Xiaoman sent Xiao Niang back to the Xu Mansion last night.

That day, I also heard Madam mention the tribal leader's marriage proposal. After Madam left, I urged Xu Miao even more: "Hurry up and go to the Northern Frontier. Don't let your father get hung up on you. He'll do anything for money and status."

When Xu Miao appeared in front of Zhou Jicheng with Xu Xiaoman and Chun'er, Zhou Jicheng's eyes lit up.

This was the first time he had seen Xu Miao like this. He was dressed in a dashing black riding uniform and was completely different from the Xu Miao he had seen before in Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Xu Miao, standing tall and straight, walked with a firm step, her eyes gleaming with unyielding determination. Each step she took was confident and composed, radiating a captivating aura from within.

Zhou Jicheng sincerely showed his eight white teeth, pointed to a red warhorse beside him and said to Xu Miao: "Ah Miao, take a look at it. I picked it out specially for you from my father's horse farm."

"They say it's a tribute from there. I tried it for you and it's not bad."

His father is the emperor, so of course there are no cowards in the horse farm.

Xu Miao reached out to take the reins, turned sideways, and swiftly jumped onto the horse's back. He patted the horse's neck and said, "Thank you, Sixth Prince. You are indeed not a bad person."

Hearing Zhou Jicheng's laughter, he liked Xu Miao's straightforwardness.

Xu Xiaoman and Chun'er, who were standing by, were dumbfounded.

Xu Xiaoman said, "I can drive a carriage, but I can't ride a horse." The old horse in the Xu Mansion has almost lost all its teeth and is completely unrideable.

Xu Xiaoman was so anxious that she stood on the ground and cried, "Second sister, you can't leave me. I will follow you to the northern border even if I have to run away."

Hearing this, the guards around couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Jicheng ignored what Xu Xiaoman said and pointed at the two guards and said, "You two, take one each and get going."

The older guard reached out and picked up Chun'er, and put her on the horse's back: "Little girl, you are about the same age as my daughter. Uncle will take care of you all the way."

"When we get to Northern Xinjiang, let my daughter take you out to play."

Xu Xiaoman was also helped onto the horse by the young guard: "Little brother, if you run to the northern border, you will be exhausted."
