Minister Xiao recalled a time when, in his youth, his fifth brother suddenly sent him a letter, saying he had met the love of his life. He said the girl was one in a million, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and had a gentle personality. However, her family had fallen on hard times...
It was rare that my fifth brother had a girl he liked, so my parents were only happy and started to prepare a marriage for him.
Because my fifth brother likes quietness, he has only met his closest relatives a few times and has very little impression of his fifth brother's wife.
I didn’t expect that after all these years, I would suddenly tell him such a truth!
"Are you done panicking? What do you want to tell me?" Xiao Cunyu's face was pale and innocent.
Minister Xiao no longer considered the arranged marriage a big deal and said calmly, "It's no big deal. The Emperor has given you to the Third Princess. Xiao Qi, from now on, you will be the Third Prince Consort."
“…” Xiao Cunyu jumped up.
"It's not a big deal, why are you panicking..." Xiao Jingyun looked at her desperately, "Calm down, there is a way."
"So is the princess's mansion going to be built? I'm going to attract lightning! I'm going to strike the princess's mansion. I don't believe this marriage can continue!" Xiao Cunyu gritted his teeth.
"Xiao Qi, you know about Brother Tong Yin Yang, but this thunder... let it go. This marriage will be over soon, so you just stay at home honestly." Xiao Jingyun only had his fifth uncle's affairs in his mind now.
I was really stunned by this bolt from the blue.
Xiao Cunyu said sullenly, "You still don't believe me! You'll know once they start building!"
She walked out groaning.
The father and son were left feeling extremely upset, especially Minister Xiao, who was so unwell that he didn't even want to go to the Ministry of War. However, the marriage was granted just yesterday, and he asked for leave today. If it got out, people would think he was dissatisfied with the emperor, so he had no choice but to go.
Xiao Cunyu packed up and prepared to go out. Standing at the gate, he felt that the sky today was particularly dazzling.
After walking a few steps, I met a huge group of people.
Early in the morning, even her classmates from the academy came and ran into her.
"Xiao Qi! I didn't expect that you would become the third prince consort! What on earth does Princess Baoyi see in you?" Zong Ling said with a carefree smile.
"That's naturally due to our Xiao Qi's thick-skinned and fearless ability!" Zhang Bingzhi patted Xiao Cunyu's shoulder with a heroic look on his face.
Zhou Jingmao was quite loyal: "Brother, you look so serious. Did the princess force you into bed? I heard that the third princess has a bad temper. You will have to bear it from now on. Sigh..."
After Zhou Jingmao said this, everyone else fell silent.
They said they were here to celebrate, but they were actually worried.
These people had heard about Princess Baoyi's character and knew that she was domineering. Although she was a little girl, she was a princess after all and was not easy to serve.
Xiao Qi is a proud man who refuses to admit defeat. He jumps up and down all day long. If he falls into the hands of the princess, it will really be... today or tomorrow.
They thought Xiao Qi would travel the world with a sword in the future, but they didn't expect that he would become a bird in a cage. What would they do if his feathers were plucked out?
They were all depressed together.
"Are you all free?" Xiao Cunyu looked around at them.
Several people tensed up, "We were quite busy... I knew you must be in a bad mood, so... I wanted to keep you entertained."
Xiao Cunyu thought about it, and then his eyes lit up: "What a good brother, then in this case, do you all listen to me now?"
"..." Zhou Jingmao was helpless. "I've heard that before... Is there any need to ask?"
"Okay then, since everyone is free, then come with me... and do something good!"
