Chapter 182 I am waiting for you in Yongzhou
Xiao Heng was not joking.
Wei Chuo inherited the title of king at a young age. If you marry him, you will become a ready-made princess, which is very attractive to noble ladies.
But even with such great attraction, he failed to attract even half a noble lady for more than half a year.
The reason is very simple. Everyone's eyes are bright, and they can tell at a glance that King Guangling has been rejected by His Majesty.
What good outcome could there be for a vassal prince who was rejected by His Majesty and had enmity with Duke Dingguo?
Therefore, no matter how good Hu Qingjun was, no nobles or officials were willing to get married to the Guangling Palace.
The Queen Mother looked kind and kind, but she was actually very cunning.
Although she was very happy recently, she never gave Hu Qingjun a chance to speak.
It wasn't that she really didn't want to help, but that she didn't want to harm the girls in Beijing who she had watched grow up.
The Queen Mother was unwilling to help, and Xiao Heng was even less willing.
She is the queen of Wei and the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, but she is also a girl of the Xiao family.
It would be generous not to take the initiative to retaliate against Wei Chuo, so how could he help him find a wife?
It was inconvenient for Yuchiyang to stay longer in Qifeng Palace, so the two chatted with Xiao Heng for a while and then left.
After Xiao Bi finished speaking with Emperor Tianqing and hurried to Qifeng Palace, they had already left for half an hour.
Seeing her raised mouth, Xiao Heng smiled and said, "My little aunt is not here, can't you just say a few words with me?"
"No, there are some important things at home waiting for me to deal with. I'll leave first..." Xiao Bi turned around and wanted to run away.
"Stop!" Xiao Heng shouted softly.
Xiao Bi grinned, is this the legendary singing couple?
Just now in the royal study, her brother-in-law used the same tactics to deal with her, and the couple even had the same tone of voice.
Xiao Heng took her hand and said with a smile: "If you go back in such a hurry, is there something waiting for you or someone waiting for you?"
"Sister--" Xiao Bi had no choice but to say: "Brother Huan also came to the capital with Uncle Yuchi.
He won't be able to stay in Beijing for a few days, and I still have many things to discuss with him.
After I send him away, he will move to the palace and listen to the teachings of eldest sister."
Xiao Heng stroked her hair: "Go ahead, don't let Ayu wait too long."
"Then I'll go first. Thank you, eldest sister." Xiao Bi saluted and ran out.
"Your Majesty, the princess has finally grown up." Jimei pursed her lips, unable to hide her smile.
Xiao Heng sighed: "Yes, Xiaojiu has finally begun to understand the relationship between men and women. My aunt's marriage has been settled, so I can feel more relaxed in the future."
Jimei smiled and said: "My dear, please don't think too much. Your Highness will be ten years old soon. You should worry about finding a daughter-in-law again."
Xiao Heng rolled his eyes at her: "Can't you make me happy for a little longer?"
Jimei poured her a cup of tea: "Your Majesty is born to worry about life. If there is nothing for you to take care of, then you will really not be happy."
Xiao Heng took the tea cup and said, "Go ahead and stop packing Xiaojiu's dowry. Wait until all the gifts from the concubines in the harem are delivered, so as not to mess it up by digging in and out all day long."
Jimei said yes and told her about Prince Beirong's broken tooth.
"...Prince Nazhabutuo is Chidu Khan's favorite son. I heard he is quite good-looking.
Now that half of his front teeth are broken, I'm afraid he can't even speak. How can I have the nerve to continue to serve as an envoy, and how can I continue to attend the palace banquet on the Longevity Festival?"
Xiao Heng said: "This time the Beirong delegation came to celebrate my birthday, which is a bit unusual.
You must know that for more than a hundred years since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, Beirong has never given up harassing the border.
There will be a war between the two countries every ten years, and local small battles have never stopped.
It can be said that Liuyun Kingdom and Wei Dynasty are old enemies, and their relationship can never be reconciled.
But if you ask the people of the Wei Dynasty, which country do they hate more, Beirong or Liuyun?
The people will definitely choose Beirong without hesitation."
Zimei said: "Then what is their purpose of coming to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday this time?"
"It's not easy to make random guesses." Xiao Heng shook his head: "In short, we still have to be more careful, especially on the day when the palace banquet is held, people will be sent everywhere to keep an eye on everything to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Yes, empress." Ji Mei responded.
※※※※
Xiao Bi returned to the Duke's Mansion as quickly as possible, but failed to see Huan Yu as she wished.
Just as she was about to complain about his lack of punctuality, Qingzhao thrust a note into her hand.
"Princess Princess, this is sent by a boy from the Duke's Mansion."
Xiao Bi opened the note and saw a few simple sentences written on it. Although the handwriting was as beautiful as ever, it seemed a bit sloppy.
Apparently Huan Yu wrote it in a hurry when he was very anxious.
She whispered softly: "The matter is urgent, I don't have time to find you. Take good care of yourself, I will wait for you in Yongzhou."
Qingzhao asked curiously: "Princess, what does the last sentence in my uncle's note mean?"
"You want to ask why Yongzhou?"
Qingzhao nodded vigorously.
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "Yongzhou is the place chosen by my brother-in-law personally, and the sending and welcoming teams will meet there."
Qingzhao said: "That's it."
Ying Shui also said: "I heard that the terrain of Yongzhou is flat and vast, and the dowries of the princess and the flower girl are so large. The team will be so long that you can't even see the side. It is indeed very suitable to meet there."
Xiao Bi leaned on the small couch and let out a sigh of relief: "I also wanted to ask Brother Huan about the situation in Tianshui County, but who knew he just ran away!"
Huan Yu mentioned a few words about the invasion of the Huan family in his previous letter, but it was not detailed.
She originally thought that she would ask him carefully after seeing him.
But last night she was only focused on asking her aunt and uncle about things, and she actually forgot about this.
Now that I think about it, it's really too late to regret it.
Those people were obviously going for Brother Huan's antidote, but the antidote had already been used, so their trip was destined to be in vain.
The Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded, and after a wasted trip, it's not that easy to leave.
With the power of the Huan family in Tianshui County, it should not be difficult to find out the origins of these people, at least without Huan Yu, the groom-to-be, personally taking action.
But he still came. Although it was under the guise of visiting him, his purpose was still to find out the origins of those thieves.
This only shows that the backgrounds of those thieves are very complicated, and if we continue to investigate, they may lead to a lot of trouble.
Troublesome, but exciting enough.
I really can’t stay any longer!
Xiao Bi turned over with all her strength.
They were also preparing for their wedding. Brother Huan still wanted to go wherever he wanted, but she could only prepare for the wedding at home.
Just when I was feeling bored, I heard a familiar voice in my ears.
"Xiaojiu, why are you sleeping in broad daylight? Come out quickly."
Chapter completed!
