The princess ran away again

Ning Yuyao is not very familiar with the two sons of the general's mansion, so how can I know their current situation?As for the third lady, it is impossible for her to admit that she is her fiancé-in-law.She glared at the rude man, bit her lips and before she could respond, she heard him ask again: "I heard that the two cousins ​​have a sweetheart, I wonder if it is the lady of the Liu family? Or is it the lady of the Wang family?"

"You—" Ning Yuyao saw a narrow smile in the eyes of the person in front of her.Since she often lives in the general's mansion, she must know everything about the mansion inside out. Dare to be a joke from the very beginning.

"The unruly people!" Qingyi saw her master hit a wall again, the new and old hatreds were mixed together, if she had a sword in her hand, she might have already unsheathed it.

"Let's go, don't be as knowledgeable as this troublemaker." Ning Yuyao pursed her lips, her eyes were like sharp knives, and she scratched that hateful face.He turned his head and left this place aggressively.When you get back to the palace, you must inquire about who the young master in the general's mansion is, and what does it have to do with the third lady in the general's mansion.The dignified man is living under the eaves of his uncle, and he has no ambitions. He probably has an affair with the third lady.

As soon as Ning Yuyao left, Chu Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could relax for a long time, she became nervous again.What is Princess Zhaoyang doing here?If she recognized him, he wouldn't be dead?Now she didn't want to go back to the house and change her attire. She looked around and saw that there was no servant girl approaching, she looked at a remote corner of the mansion and walked quickly, jumped out of the wall.I don't know how long the happy days will last, at least in these days, I will be exiled to other places for refuge.

Chu Zhao has quite a few cronies, but there is probably only one person who will not confess her at the critical moment.The mansions of the princes are considered to be the busiest places in the entire capital. After walking for a while, Chu Zhao finally stopped in front of King Guang’s mansion. She is a frequent visitor here, and the gatekeeper immediately smiled when he saw her. He greeted her and invited her to the mansion.Among the eleven princes who are descended today, except for the crown prince, only three are crowned kings, and among them, only Guangwang Ninglang has his own mansion other than the three kings' residence.Chu Zhao doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, but he also knows that the crown prince's position is not too stable, and the rest of the princes have their own influence, and their general's mansion maintains neutrality on the surface, but their relationship with King Guang is private closer.The reason why the emperor chose her in the general's mansion to become Princess Zhaoyang's "female son-in-law" was obviously to balance the power of the prince and King Guang.

"Which gust of wind brought you here?" King Guang was painting in his study room. When he heard that the third lady in the general's mansion was coming, he immediately put down his pen and went to the reception hall without saying a word.The two met each other while urinating, and he had long regarded Chu Zhao as his own sister, and he also avoided those hypocrisy.

"You should ask your good sister Zhaoyang about this." Chu Zhao has always been an informal person, and this calm posture seems to regard the Guangwang Mansion as his home.Taking a slanting glance at Ning Lang, he sat down generously as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped on the stool with one foot, reached out to pick up the porcelain jade tea cup, and took a sip.

"Zhaoyang?" Ning Lang raised his eyebrows in surprise. He already knew about Zhaoyang and Chu Zhao's marriage. What can he change.In the past, he avoided mentioning Zhaoyang, but he didn't expect Chu Zhao to speak up on his own.Shocked, he said warmly, "Did you see Zhaoyang when you entered the palace?"

She can't avoid Princess Zhaoyang, how can she enter the palace?As soon as Chu Zhao heard Ning Lang's words, she stood up. She carefully looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and then thought about Zhaoyang's men's appearance, which was somewhat similar. She didn't think much about it when she was in Baiyulou. , I just got into such a disaster, if I took a few more glances, everything might be different, right?It's just that mentioning this matter now can't save anything.Chu Zhao secretly sighed in his heart, and when he met Ning Lang's gaze, he clicked his tongue: "It's Princess Zhaoyang who has come to the General's Mansion."

"So you ran away and came to take refuge here?" Ning Lang laughed dumbfounded when he heard this, but—he changed the subject abruptly, "Isn't Zhaoyang also dissatisfied with this marriage? How could he take the initiative to go to the general's mansion?" See you? Besides, why did she leave the palace? Didn’t she cause a catastrophe outside and dare not go back to the palace?” He is not very close to his younger sister Ning Yuhuan, let alone the princess Zhaoyang up.In his impression, as long as there are any good things, his sister will pick them first, even before the crown prince.If it was a man, with his father's eccentric view, the crown prince might fall on Zhaoyang.

"Who knows, maybe he came to the General's Mansion to withdraw the engagement." Chu Zhao curled his lips and replied lazily.She doesn't know if this Princess Zhaoyang caused any trouble, but she bumped into the princess herself, and she would have to shed her skin no matter what the crime is. From this point of view, she does not want Zhaoyang to return to the palace, otherwise she will inevitably be chased. responsibility. "How are you and Miss Qin's family?"

As soon as Chu Zhao said this, the smile on Ning Lang's face restrained, he blinked, concealed the look of disappointment in his expression, and said with a light smile, "You——this opening just said something that poked people's hearts. Come." There was no concubine in his palace, but there were many concubines, and even a babbling daughter.He intended to marry that young lady from the Qin family, but how did she say it?As long as there is a couple for life, is it possible for him to dismiss the concubine Ji in the mansion?It would be fine if she really wanted to marry into Prince Guang's mansion, but her behavior was too hurtful.Obviously, the emperor's brother has already established a concubine, so she has no scruples now like a moth to a flame.

Full of disappointment hidden in a sigh, Ning Lang suddenly remembered something, and he said, "There will be a flower viewing feast in Beijing in a few days, and I will order the young masters and young ladies of the royal family to participate. I'm afraid You can't avoid it anymore, you and Zhaoyang will meet each other anyway." If this marriage can be abandoned, how can it be delayed until now?Even Zhaoyang's opinion can be ignored, which is enough to show that the emperor's heart is as cold as iron in this matter. "This matter is something that even I, a bystander, can't see through. My father listened to the national teacher, and there have been a lot of weird things in recent years. For Zhaoyang's life, you are too tired to live like an ordinary woman."

"What... do you mean?" Chu Zhao paused, and she looked at Ning Lang, as if trying to find out some emotion from his face.She only remembered that her father returned to the mansion with a sullen expression, saying that she should be raised as a boy when she was born, and after careful questioning, she found out that she was appointed as Princess Zhaoyang's son-in-law.She didn't know the reason all along, and even her father just pretended that she didn't know. Now Ning Lang meant something else?

"This is a secret in the palace, so it's okay to tell you." King Guang smiled wryly, "When Zhaoyang was born, there was a vision in the sky. If it was a boy, it would definitely be the future heir, but it happened to be a girl. As long as the queen gave birth to an heir, the father would be delighted, but the entire palace was immersed in the joy, but the national teacher calculated that Zhaoyang would not live to be 20 years old. The only way to solve this problem is to put her marry a woman."

"Absurd." Chu Zhao's complexion suddenly turned pale. She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, nor did she believe in the so-called fate. Just because of a sentence from the national teacher, the lives of the two of them were ruined?It is said that the current Emperor Tianning is the Holy Son of Heaven, how can he believe in these prophecies?

Ning Lang sighed, Chu Zhao of the General's Mansion is a very good candidate for the concubine, but this person is his friend and the future son-in-law.Shocked, he said again: "Father also thought so at first, but the hexagrams of the national teacher came true one by one. When and where Zhaoyang will meet what, the score is not bad. Father also gradually believed. For this matter, I chose you. It's just strange that after you have settled the marriage, the national teacher can't calculate Zhaoyang's fate, but it's not important anymore, as long as Zhaoyang can survive safely That's fine."

"I'm even more unwilling after hearing about this." Chu Zhao's smile was a little bit bitter. She felt pity for Zhaoyang's fate, but it didn't mean she was willing to sacrifice her life.She has not experienced all kinds of friendship in the world, but she has been set on a future path, how can she be willing to do this?She pushed it and thought about it for two years, but the resentment popped up from time to time and could not be completely eliminated. "After all, it is the royal family, which can decide people's future and life at will."

Ning Lang's eyes changed, he glanced outside the door, and then lowered his voice and said: "Speak carefully." Many people in the palace were rewarded by the emperor, and they were not completely transformed into his confidantes.He knew that the biggest threat was not from the prince, but from his own father.Only the three kings can compete for the throne. In order to keep the prince's heir, the emperor will obviously suppress the other princes mercilessly.

Chu Zhao sighed, and said with emotion in a low voice: "Sometimes I wonder if I would be happier if I was born into a child of an ordinary family, without so many burdens."

"No." Ning Lang shook his head, and said in a low voice, "You will suffer from life every day and live for taxes every day. It's another story below." Who said that people in high positions don't understand anything?It's just that in their view, there is no need to work hard for that little thing.As long as it doesn't cause riots among the people, who will take care of those corrupt officials?

"Wuqing is the most heavenly family, really." Chu Zhao snorted lightly, but ignored Ning Lang's suddenly solemn expression.

Ning Lang said: "You are really used to being presumptuous, you have to know that there is the entire General's Mansion behind you."

Chu Zhao shook his head, smiled and said, "I don't want to take care of it. Presumably these things, why don't you think about how to escape from the flower viewing event? Do I really want to meet His Highness Zhaoyang?"
