The princess ran away again

There was nothing wrong in the palace, so Chu Zhao naturally slept until dawn. His body hadn't fully recovered yet, so he couldn't wantonly practice swords in the courtyard.This morning, Chu Zhao was woken up by Ning Yuyao, his eyes were sleepy, his mind was blank, and he didn't remember for a long time, where he provoked this little ancestor.You know, Princess Zhaoyang seldom cares about her on weekdays, let alone calling her up in person.

After waking up for the first time, the wet eyes are like a lake in deep autumn, surrounded by a layer of busy cold mist.Ning Yuyao stared at Chu Zhao for a long while, then snorted dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say you were going back to the General's Mansion yesterday? The sedan chair has been prepared for you, why are you still lying on the couch? Could it be that you don't want to go back?"

Chu Zhao was stunned for a long time before he remembered, he straightened up in a hurry, put on his clothes indiscriminately, and said in his mouth: "I think, of course I want to." This is what she has been thinking about the most these days. Forgot so easily?Speaking of which, Yemeng Xiangtian was blamed, that graceful figure was too alluring.

Ning Yuyao became angry when she saw Chu Zhao's appearance, and swallowed her full of grievances on her lips. She must not act too petty in front of Chu Zhao, and have the bearing of her dignified Princess Zhaoyang.His eyes lingered on the delicate skin for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the faint scar on her shoulder.Ning Yuyao gave instructions in Qingyi's ear, and when she took a bottle of wound medicine, she took a step forward, stuffed things into Chu Zhao's arms indiscriminately, and said with a cold snort, "Just go back Go." After saying this, she turned her head and left.

If you don't go back, is it possible to stay in Zhaoyang Palace?It would be fine if only Princess Zhaoyang was the only one, but there are countless people who make her restless.To sum up, it is said that the inner garden of the deep palace is not for normal people to live in. If it does not explode in silence, it is abnormal in silence.After all, what is the value of a man without freedom?Chu Zhao thought to himself, and after getting dressed, he looked at the little jade bottle that Ning Yuyao forcefully stuffed into her.The plaster inside is a tribute from foreign countries, which is extremely rare.She cared more about the scars on her back than herself, for fear of leaving any marks.

As soon as the sedan chair left Miyagi, the smile on Chu Zhao's lips could not be suppressed.But before leaving, she turned her head for a few glances. The red pillars, white walls and glazed tiles, the majestic palace exuded bright brilliance under the morning sun. She saw the palace maids and the little yellow gate, and even a few courtiers who had left the court. She looked, but she didn't see the figure she wanted to see.What is this expecting?She curled her lips and suppressed such a little disappointment. It is naturally a good thing to be able to leave the intriguing and step-by-step Miyagi and return to the General's Mansion.

The general's mansion had already received a message from Princess Zhaoyang, knowing that Chu Zhao would be back on this day. Hearing the movement at the door, Chu Xu hurriedly put down the long sword in his hand, and went out to meet him.Narrow-sleeved dark clothes with rolled up sleeves, coupled with that bright smile, although not as elegant as Chu Hui's, but also has a different kind of unruly and chic.

"Our Marquis Yunyang has returned home." Chu Xu joked.After returning from Gejia Village that day, the Son of Heaven granted him a Marquis according to meritorious deeds. Although it was only a vain feudal title in this dynasty and did not receive a feudal city, he is a county marquis after all, and it is quite prestigious to say it.Who doesn't know that this is borrowing the light of Princess Zhaoyang?Chu Xu helped Chu Zhao get off the sedan chair, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Do you know what this means?" If possible, none of the General's family would want this honor.

"Naturally, it means that becoming a son-in-law is a certainty." Chu Zhao snorted lightly, without the usual disgust on his face.Unexpectedly, Ning Yuyao's face appeared in her mind. She is beautiful and beautiful. If she was a man, this jewel of the dynasty would naturally be willing to pick it up, but they are all women, and being together will only attract laughter from the world. .Chu Zhao asked herself that she was not a person who valued fame, otherwise Jingzhong would not have passed her on like that, but when she thought of marrying a woman, a few strange feelings appeared in her heart, which might have exceeded her carrying capacity Alright. "Where's the second brother? Why don't you see him?" At this point in time, it's also the time to go to court, right?

"He's been annoyed recently." Chu Xu frowned, and sighed, "Isn't he admiring the lady of the Wang family? But the Wang family's family status is too low, and people with honorable surnames will be ridiculed if they marry him. Dad It means to accept Miss Wang as a concubine, and the main wife will naturally be found among the eight surnames. For example, the lady from the Li family, what is her name, Li Wan, is she fifteen years old?"

Chu Zhao snorted, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Father is really stubborn."

When Chu Xu heard the younger sister's words, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't blame father, I don't know how many eyes are staring at him now. If Chu Hui marries a poor family woman as his wife, he might be impeached in various ways." Originally, the Northern Dynasties didn't pay much attention to family status, but after entering the Central Plains, Piansheng also learned these customs, rectified products, and distinguished surnames and clans. "It depends on their own good fortune." Chu Zhao was silent and replied in a low voice.After all, she is not free, not only her, but also the second brother.Speaking of it, Chu Xu is the luckiest guy. As the eldest son of a great general, he has hardly encountered any setbacks.

When Chu Zhao came back, the General’s Mansion would definitely celebrate, but there were many people watching from the dark, so naturally they didn’t dare to make a big show of it.This glass of wine is a toast to the gods, and a glass of wine to the ancestors. One is to escape from the hands of assassins and under the cliff, and the other is to return safely from the deep palace.Because Chu Zhao was injured, people in the house did not dare to make trouble for her, but early the next morning, she was called to the study by her father, General Chu Xingtian.

"Let us father and daughter talk about our own words for a while." Chu Xingtian, who is nearly half a hundred years old, does not look old. After changing his armor, he looks like a gentle Confucian scholar. His face is enough to see the handsomeness of his youth. "Are you still blaming your father for marrying the princess?"

Chu Zhao chuckled lightly, and replied, "This marriage has not been settled for a year or two, so what is there to complain about? Besides, it's not something you can decide, Dad."

Chu Xingtian looked at his daughter, who looked exactly like his wife, with a little light in his eyes, and he was immersed in memories for a while.After a long while, he broke free and sighed in a low voice: "For the sake of the general's residence, I have wronged you."

"Father, you didn't come to me to talk about this, did you?" Chu Zhao found a chair and sat down. She raised her eyebrows and pretended to speak briskly.

Chu Xingtian nodded, his face gradually became dignified.Chu Zhao is his only daughter, even if he wants to be Princess Shang, he has to make perfect plans for Chu Zhao.After thinking for a while, he asked, "You have been with Princess Zhaoyang for a while, what do you think of her? If you have something to like in the future, can the princess tolerate it?" When the emperor decided to give the marriage, he couldn't resist. They didn't comply with the order, but they also discussed these issues later, and the emperor meant that as long as they didn't lose the face of the royal family, they would be allowed to make trouble.If Princess Zhaoyang agrees——

"It's a thousand times better than the other two princesses. It's a pity that Princess Zhaoyang will be a good wife." Chu Zhao sighed, but it's a pity that she is not a man, so she can't give Princess Zhaoyang anything.

Chu Xingtian nodded and sighed: "That's good."

Now Chu Zhao also feels that he is lucky, at least it is Princess Zhaoyang, not the other two arrogant and domineering highnesses.She thought about what her elder brother mentioned when she returned to the mansion, thought for a while, and asked: "Are you planning to marry the Li family about the second brother's marriage?"

When Chu Xingtian heard this, he became angry. It is reasonable to say that among the three children, Chu Hui is the most sensible one, but he refused to let go of his mouth when it came to marriage. He insisted on marrying a woman from a poor family. It was not that Chu Xingtian valued these things. , doesn't his wife also belong to a wealthy family?But now it is not as good as before. As a child of the general's mansion, he must bear part of the responsibility. "It's not that I don't agree with the girl he likes to come in. It's just that according to our Daning law, it's not proper to marry her as a regular wife. Doesn't your second brother know? He's born to be stubborn on this matter."

"You can't blame the second brother, you can only see good fortune." Chu Zhao sighed, "As for the girl from the Li family, the second brother doesn't like her, and marrying her in is also harming her. Who doesn't want to have a husband? What about the life of doting and having children around your knees? I think this marriage should be forgotten."

"Forget it, let's not mention your second brother." Chu Xingtian waved his hands impatiently, and changed the subject, "You have to sit in front of your mother's tomb when you are free. It is her blessing to come back safely. looking at you."

Chu Zhao nodded, and said in a low voice: "Is there no relatives on my mother's side?" Others have uncles, but they were born on her mother's side, and there was no movement at all.On weekdays, I heard people talk about her mother not being from Beijing, but brought back from the battlefield by her father, but where is she from?In the past, I only saw the beautiful love between parents, but the story behind it has never been delved into.But now suddenly a little bit of curiosity arose.

Chu Xingtian's face froze immediately, and after a long while he said perfunctorily: "I'm not here anymore." Now I feel that the second son has taken a fancy to a girl from a poor family, which is not proper.But after all, he and his wife are the most deviant, right?People are indeed brought back from the battlefield as rumored. As for other secrets, let them rot in your heart forever.It cannot be known by the people over there, nor can it be known by Chu Zhao. "Hurry up and get ready." Chu Xingtian said to chase people away.

Chu Zhao raised his eyelids, hiding his doubts in his heart.It's been almost a year since my mother passed away, and it's true that she hasn't sat in front of the grave for a long time.She never doubted the relationship between her mother and her father, but she never understood why her mother always looked south. "You look exactly like a southerner." This is what Princess Zhaoyang said not long ago. Could it be that your mother is from Jin?
