“This story begins when Prince Qiao was still alive.
Back then, Prince Qiao hadn't yet requested to be stationed at the border, and had brought his family to live in the capital. Because of Old Prince Qiao, he was deeply trusted by the emperor, and the Qiao Palace was a popular destination in the capital. When they were still in the capital, Wei Nian and Qiao Si had been childhood sweethearts.
Later, Prince Qiao fell victim to a scheme by treacherous officials and lost the emperor's favor. He was stationed in Dingzhou to protect the area, and Princess Qiao relocated her family there. Over the years, Wei Nian increasingly developed a love for Qiao Si, and with his affections growing deep, he only desired to marry her. However, fate played a different trick on Qiao Si, and upon her return to the capital, she fell in love with the gentle and refined Prince Han, and her only wish was to marry him.
This is the beginning of that tragic love story I mentioned earlier. The Crown Prince and the Prince compete for the Yao family's daughter, while the Princess falls in love with the Prince, and Wei Nian, in turn, secretly loves the Princess. All of this entanglement, this love affair, ends in dust.
The Yao family's daughter unfortunately passed away, and the Crown Prince married the Prime Minister's daughter and Princess Chiyan instead. The Prince finally married the Princess, leaving our number one scholar to wait for her for years, all in vain!
???!!!!!
Zhang You really didn't expect that this gossip would be so outrageous!
Have you been waiting in vain for so many years?
He is a wooden man who only realized his feelings after Qiao Si returned to Beijing. His IQ is very high, but his EQ is really worrying.
However, it is also amazing that his story can miraculously coincide with reality in the end.
However, apart from her and Qiuyue, no one else knew that Wei Nian liked Qiao Si. Now that she was gone, Qiao Si and the others were still in an unknown situation, and they didn't know if they could even know Wei Nian's feelings for her.
But forget it.
Now she has no intention of going back.
She wants to be herself again.
As for whether their relationship back then was based on exploitation or other feelings, it didn't matter. On that cliff, it was Chunhua who risked her life to save him. To Qiao Si, they were nothing more than abandoned pawns.
If you abandon the child, why go back?
"Oh my god! The people in the capital really play around. A happy event has been tangled up in so many ways!"
"Tsk! Is it over? Old man Ye, this is really dishonest of you. I gave you the money, and you only told me this little gossip. So, is this the end of Wei Nian and the princess? Is there no other love, hate, or grudge?"
"You don't know this. Prince Han and the princess have a very deep relationship. Although Prince Han has been under house arrest by the current emperor, he has never forgotten to send people to look for his princess! But the princess has been missing in Haizhou for many days in order to collect the body of her father. I'm afraid she has already..." The storyteller shook his head with regret.
The people around also expressed regret and sorrow.
It was as if they all believed that Qiao Si had died accidentally long ago.
After hearing this, Zhang You was completely relieved.
If Qiao Si hadn't escaped that day, the news of her death would have spread widely among the Dog Emperor. Now there's no news, which means she escaped safely. The Dog Emperor couldn't catch her, so he allowed Li Guanghan to search for her.
"So, with the love-hate relationship between Wei Zhuangyuan and the princess you mentioned, one of the parties involved has disappeared without a trace. How can there still be those love stories you want to hear?
What's more, it is said that after the princess married the prince, Wei Nian has been deliberately maintaining a relationship with the princess, not daring to damage her reputation in the slightest."
"What a handsome gentleman!"
"He is so infatuated!"
"Later, Chiyan became ambitious, and Prince Han led his troops to fight against Chiyan. Just when Prince Han was in a stalemate at the border, Wei Nian knew that the princess was worried about Prince Han, so he helped her. That's how Prince Han returned victorious. When it comes to infatuation, apart from our Prime Minister Wei, I'm afraid no one in the world can match him!" The storyteller shook his head, feeling regretful.
The people around were also listening with great interest and expressing their feelings. For a while, the whole place was filled with sighs.
Zhang You curled the corners of his mouth slightly and drank the tea in the cup calmly.
It's true that not everyone can be a storyteller. He was able to perfectly capture Wei Nian's infatuated character and reality. Qiao Si probably never knew what Wei Nian had secretly done for her over the years. Even if Qiao Si heard these things now, she would probably just sneer and laugh at the storyteller's fabrications.
Qiao Si finished his last cup of tea and left. The storyteller had already begun to answer questions from his followers, continuing to recount how Wei Nian had amazed everyone, how he had gradually risen to become Prime Minister, and how his career had been smooth sailing.
Zhang You doesn't care about these things, or rather, what happens to them has nothing to do with her, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
Zhang You bought some more food and supplies, then went to the West Market to meet up with Madam Xue and the others. Since it was still early, they had a quick bite to eat and then headed back.
Zhang You's injuries had mostly healed after a month of sleep, but she had just woken up and needed a few more days to recover. She had always been one to avoid owing others, and since Madam Xue had saved her and cared for her for a month, Zhang You was deeply grateful.
She gave a portion of the money from selling rouge to Madam Xue as a reward. She knew that the money was not enough, so she planned to stay a little longer and earn more money to repay her.
Moreover, she hadn't decided where she would go in the future, but no matter where she went, she would need money to get there. If her departure hadn't been so sudden, if it had gone according to her original plan, after she and Qiao Si had settled everything, the dividends from her years of researching rouge for Qiao Er and the money she'd earned working for Qiao Si would have allowed her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
But now, we have to start all over again.
Maybe it's because she is always on the road to making money, or maybe money is not so necessary to her, so even if her savings suddenly disappear, she can start over after some regret.
She stayed at Madam Xue's house for some more time.
She had been hearing a lot of news from the outside world these days. A few days ago, they were still talking about Wei Nian's heroic deeds, and now with the turmoil in the court, they had started discussing whether the Li family could hold on to the throne.
It's also very rare.
This is a disaster that only happens once in a century, and Tangye encountered it twice this year.
There were floods in Haizhou in the south in early spring and droughts in Dingzhou in the north in early summer.
Natural disasters continue, refugees are endless, and the country is unstable.
It is said that the memorials in the imperial study were piled up like a mountain, so the emperor specially released Li Guanghan and asked him to solve the matter together with Wei Nian.
When Zhang You heard about the drought in Dingzhou, he felt something was wrong.
How could it be such a coincidence that there was flood first and drought later?
I’m afraid it’s not the work of Qiao Si and the others.
It seems that Qiao Si and the others are ready to take action.
