The marriage between the Third Prince and General Qiao's daughter.
This is fantastic news!
The children of the general's family had always married ordinary people's children, so it was no small matter that a prince's wife suddenly appeared in the general's family.
In the two weeks leading up to the wedding, various rumors circulated on the streets.
They are all beautiful stories.
Some people say that Qiao Zhen and the Third Prince are a perfect match, and that they are deeply in love.
The statement was correct at first, but it changed later.
"Matching hearts" clearly means that Qiao Zhen disregarded her reputation as a woman and secretly pledged her life to a man.
Amidst all the praise, this rumor suddenly emerged, and it came from a child's mouth no less.
It makes one wonder if it's really true.
At this moment, the Third Prince, riding on horseback, arrived at the General's Mansion with his entourage, accompanied by music and fanfare.
There were many onlookers along the way. The Third Prince, who was originally of noble status, rode his horse on the road. The scene was originally lively, but some people knelt down and shouted "Long live the Third Prince!"
This is not a good thing.
The Third Prince nearly fell off his horse from the repeated calls.
Fortunately, being in the palace gave him some courage.
I forced myself to sit on the horse's back.
The smile that had started gradually froze, and her wedding attire turned into a mockery.
Tao Yifan and the others began to realize that something was wrong and started to get busy.
Things happened so suddenly that we couldn't find a good solution in time. Rumors were already circulating in the streets, and the wedding had already begun. At this point, it was impossible to stop; we could only do our best.
The Third Prince arrived at the General's Mansion with great fanfare.
The area outside the General's Mansion was a festive red.
The sounds I heard on the road gradually subsided.
The Third Prince knew that what had happened on the road had probably already reached the Emperor's ears.
Today's wedding is a special test for him.
He had mixed feelings, but he couldn't back down.
If you back out at the last minute, it's tantamount to publicly breaking off the engagement.
There will be no way to explain this to the Emperor, nor to the General's Mansion, and there's also that unreliable Qiao Yuchen, who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause.
What was originally a wonderful thing has now turned into a situation where he feels like he's standing on a knife's edge.
dilemma.
At that tense moment, Steward Yu of the General's Mansion saw the Third Prince arrive. Unaware of the rumors outside, he immediately went inside to report the good news.
The Third Prince dismounted, intending to marry the woman first. He would then find out who was behind it all and make them pay with their lives.
At this point, the Third Prince already had a general idea in mind.
This wedding was something every prince envied, but the one who probably least wanted to see it was the Seventh Prince.
hehe--
Even he thought it was impossible, but now it has actually succeeded.
In order to make a good impression on the emperor.
Upon learning that Consort Hua had invited the Empress Dowager to preside over the wedding, he was both annoyed that Consort Hua was failing to grasp the current situation and causing trouble, and at the same time, he quietly began to take action.
In any case, we absolutely cannot allow the Empress Dowager to go to the Third Prince's residence today.
Empress Dowager.
He is not an ordinary person.
He dared not be careless, for the plan was so precise back then that even the emperor was caught in it.
It's quite ridiculous, actually.
He found it suspicious when he overheard a casual remark made by Consort Hua. Afterwards, he spent some time investigating and learned that the Empress Dowager was connected to the missing palace maids. Later, he unintentionally became involved in a case of the Grand Secretary and, by chance, saw the case files from eighteen years ago at the Dali Temple, where he learned of a shocking secret.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late to find out everything.
The third prince walked toward the general's mansion, thinking about what he needed to do next, when suddenly a child rushed over.
This scene instantly silenced the surrounding noise.
The Third Prince was surprised to see that the child who had suddenly appeared was actually his son, Shang Zizhen.
He instantly turned his head to look at the attendant beside him.
What a failure! On such an important day, you can't even take care of a child properly.
He knew perfectly well the purpose behind the child's appearance.
He was to marry the Third Prince's wife, and when he advanced further, he would become the Emperor, and Qiao Zhen would become the Empress.
The Third Prince's first step in truly seizing power was thwarted by his son, causing him to narrow his eyes instantly.
What a short-sighted fellow! It's one thing for others to cause trouble, but he dares to stand up for them too.
court death!
His once favorite son has become a stumbling block on his road to success; how could he not be furious?
The thought that his son's appearance might be the work of that woman behind the scenes fueled his anger even more.
At this moment, General Qiao and Qiao Yuchen strode over.
They saw the Third Prince standing at the gate from afar. As they approached and were about to pay their respects, they saw the child blocking their way.
The child was dressed in fine clothes, clearly not from an ordinary family, and his features even resembled those of the Third Prince.
They were about to bow when they were suddenly dumbfounded.
Even Qiao Yuchen, who has never had a proper career, found this way of getting married to be very special.
Qiao Yuchen was about to say something sarcastic when General Qiao raised his hand, which bumped right into his stomach.
Qiao Yuchen was dissatisfied, but he could only endure it.
He looked at the father and son in front of him with a wicked smile.
To dare marry the daughter of a general and pose like that—something even he wouldn't dare do—this person is utterly shameless.
General Qiao looked at the Third Prince. When he started the war, this kid wasn't even born yet. Now, he's just a prince. Marrying his daughter is already a huge favor to him. And now, he's actually trying to give him a hard time, and today at that.
