So that's how it is...
No wonder……
He was panicked, anxious, and a little scared.
Could it be that Princess Huaian made a deal with the demon to harm her brother?
No, he wants to tell his elder brother the truth!
He wanted to tell his elder brother immediately, but things in the world are so unpredictable. If he didn't meet Princess Chengqian later, he would tell his elder brother everything he heard.
The magnificent palaces and the maids walking back and forth like fairies are extraordinary and gorgeous, but none of them can compare to that beautiful figure, which is breathtaking.
Every frown and smile is full of unparalleled beauty.
She was placed on the high platform, lowering her eyes and glancing down gently, cold but playful, but he felt that at that moment he had a connection with her. He understood her. She was the most noble and favored princess in the Great Chu, enjoying an honor that even the crown prince had never had, but she felt tired. She didn't like this. She liked freedom and unrestrained jokes. Her noble status was her shackles, and she longed to be saved and cared for.
If possible, he would like to hold her in his palm and provide for her devoutly for the rest of his life.
He immediately understood his elder brother's obsession, the sentimental words spoken by scholars, and what a beautiful woman like a flying dragon and a stunning swan was.
This is what Princess Chengqian deserves.
Throughout the banquet, he secretly glanced at Princess Cheng Qian more than once, and then his heart started beating wildly and his face flushed. Every glance triggered countless fantasies in him. To be frank, he even decided on the name of their child.
However... all the fantasies were like being poured with a bucket of cold water after hearing the conversation between his father and Queen Hyomin, and the heat in his body dissipated.
He heard his father ask Empress Xiaomin, "Princess Chengqian is of marriageable age, is there any young man who suits her?" "I know that the prince is good friends with the nephew of the Empress, but does the Empress want to take another look?"
The families of ministers in the court are full of handsome, talented, both civil and military, and noble sons. Even if they are selected from this year's candidates... I heard that this year's third place winner is good-looking, but the first place winner seems to be even better-looking!
His father almost announced his brother's name.
How could Queen Hyomin not know?
Queen Hyomin smiled faintly, glanced at her father, and then said, "Let's summon the top scholar to the Japanese palace and see."
When his father heard that there was a chance, he couldn't help laughing.
But he almost cried in such an occasion.
My eldest brother is going to discuss marriage with Princess Chengqian.
It is true that the eldest brother and Princess Chengqian are destined to be together. Even though the eldest brother's love has been diverted by someone else, after many twists and turns, they can still be together.
If he had known this an hour ago, he would have sincerely blessed his elder brother.
But now...
He just wanted to find a corner where no one was and cry.
After the banquet, he returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but his elder brother had not returned yet. He was so sad that he could not sleep all night.
Until dawn, the eldest brother came back with a tired face. He must have been looking for something all night. He wanted to tell the truth to his eldest brother, but when the eldest brother saw him, he smiled tiredly and asked, "Did you have fun last night?"
When I become a high-ranking official, I will take you wherever you want to go.
The eldest brother knew his situation. He could not go against his mother's wishes, but he had to make her happy in his own way.
He thought at that time that he also wanted to make his elder brother happy.
But how can I make my elder brother happy?
What will happen to my brother if I tell the truth rashly?
He couldn't help but ask, Brother, do you like Princess Huaian very much?
The eldest brother was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
He thought, no matter what Princess Huai'an did, his elder brother loved her now. Even if he told the truth, what could it change?
Big brother doesn’t love Princess Chengqian anymore.
Perhaps, this is the opportunity given to him by God.
If...if...eldest brother could get his wish and marry the Princess Huai'an he loved, he would have a chance.
After thinking it over again and again, he finally kept it a secret.
He just seemed to tell his eldest brother unintentionally that his father intended for him to marry Princess Chengqian.
When the eldest brother heard this, his eyes were a little dazed for a moment. He was startled, but then he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, everyone knows the relationship between Princess Chengqian and the kid from the Wei family. The Queen Mother will not allow it.
He asked again, what if the Queen agreed?
If the Queen doesn't agree, what if the Emperor grants the marriage based on the relationship between my father and the Emperor?
The eldest brother took it seriously and his face became more serious.
However, the eldest brother was too filial to question their father about why he wanted to marry Princess Chengqian. Nor could he refuse the marriage to the Empress. As soon as he entered the court, he had to offend the Empress and the Princess. His career was over.
The only solution now...My eldest brother is very smart. He asked for permission to go to the battlefield as a lieutenant general in an attempt to avoid the arranged marriage.
Before leaving, the eldest brother was in the study, instructing Yu Xi to pack his bags, and he caught a glimpse of the jade pendant at a glance.
It was casually placed on the table by my eldest brother.
There is a small word "ying" engraved in the patterns of the jade pendant. If you don't look carefully, you can't notice it at all.
He picked up the jade pendant and asked casually, "Brother, this jade pendant looks unfamiliar. Where did it come from?"
The eldest brother glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, then took it, raised an eyebrow and examined it for a while, then said in a very intriguing tone, "It belongs to a young eunuch with red lips and white teeth, but I guess..." The eldest brother weighed the jade pendant in his hand, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "The prince said it belonged to a young eunuch, but how could a young eunuch have such fine jade?"
"You can still openly gamble on crickets in the palace?"
"You lost money and you still go to the prince to borrow money?"
"How many heads?"
"It's most likely our great prince..."
As the eldest brother spoke, he curled the corners of his lips wickedly and naturally stuffed the jade pendant into his arms.
