MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 3 Kaikyo

On the west of the capital, Yongding Hou's mansion.

At this moment, it is night, and the Rongrong moonlight fills this extravagant mansion.

Yongding Marquis Mansion is an extension of the former Anyang Princess Mansion, covering a very wide area. Today, Emperor Hui has great respect for the eldest sister, Princess Anyang, and there are countless things bestowed by the imperial palace. During the walk, you can see precious flowers, trees, and strange mountains and stones that have been paid tribute from all over the world.

Today, Li Zhong had no intention of enjoying the scenery. He walked in a hurry. Although the night in the late spring was still a little cold, fine sweat was already pouring out of his back and forehead.

I don't know if the news in my hand is good or bad. About that person, I have to send it to the prince immediately.

Li Zhong went straight to the courtyard of the prince Xie Changyuan, and not long after entering the courtyard gate, he stepped on the winding corridor, and from a distance in the Huxin Pavilion, there were bursts of young girls' silver bell-like voices, mixed with mature men from time to time. of laughter.

Li Zhong knew that it was the prince and the girl Ayan who entered the palace three years ago.

He hurried to the long embankment and stopped two feet away from the Huxin Pavilion.

"Brother Chang Yuan made fun of me, don't say it, don't say it, hum!"

The pretty girl who was dancing and gesturing something just now sat down towards the stone bench angrily, and stretched out her hand to play with the tea set beside her to make a clanging sound.

This girl Ayan is petite and has a sign that the prince brought back from Meishan three years ago. Because of his life-saving grace to the prince, the whole family respects him a little bit.

Xie Changyuan fondly rubbed the girl's head, as if seeing Li Zhong, he said to the girl,

"I still have something to do, you go back to rest early."

"There is something else, busy during the day and busy at night, brother Zhang Yuan's life is so boring!"

The girl suddenly thought of something, and smiled at Xie Changyuan,

"Tomorrow is my birthday. Brother Zhang Yuan promised to accompany me to the western suburbs to see peach blossoms, but don't count it!"

Xie Chang Yuan smiled helplessly, this girl will always look innocent, and said warmly,

"I'll be back to pick you up when I'm done with my business."

A Yan jumped up and down happily, and ran out of the pavilion with light footsteps, like a swift little swallow.

After running two steps, he turned his head and shouted,

"Brother Chang Yuan's words count!"

When passing by Li Zhong, I don't forget to say hello with a smile,

"Uncle Li still has something to do at such a late hour, don't let Big Brother Zhang Yuan go, be careful to grow old fast!"

After speaking, A Yan made a face and ran away.

------

Li Zhong smiled awkwardly, stepped into the pavilion, and bowed to Xie Changyuan,

"Sir".

Xie Changyuan nodded, "What's the matter?"

"There is news from the Ministry of War that the Pingxi Army intends to transfer back to the list of generals in Beijing, and there is a photo of thanks."

Having said that, Li Zhong looked carefully at Xie Changyuan.

Shi Zi's face was not visible, but the fingers holding the tea cup were stretched and turned white.

"Pingxi Army... Is it because the Shen family doesn't take me seriously, or my fiancee doesn't take me seriously."

Xie Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled coldly, "Tell the people in the Ministry of War, Xie Zhao, Shence Jun wants it."

After speaking, with a "bang", he crushed the white porcelain cup in his hand with one hand. The blood in the palm of his hand was mixed with tea and dripped onto the stone table, but Xie Chang Yuan still clenched it tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, which was extremely angry.

Li Zhong was very sad to see such a prince.

As a retainer of the Princess Anyang's mansion, he watched the prince grow up.

When the eldest princess passed away, the eldest son hated Hou Ye thoroughly, and even hated Xie Zhao, the illegitimate son of the Hou Ye who appeared out of nowhere.

The prince personally led people to chase Xie Zhao, but he never thought that this Xie Zhao was actually hiding in the army. Coincidentally, he was still under the command of Miss Qin Yan's grandfather.

At the beginning, when the prince was rejected by the dignitaries of the Duke of Zhen, the prince returned empty-handed. It is said that it was because Miss Qin Yan tried to protect Xie Zhao. The marriage of this fiancée is afraid that there will be more twists and turns.

------

"Sir, when the Pingxi army is still in the court, Miss Qin Yan will definitely return to Beijing with Duke Zhen Guo. The prince has already passed the period of filial piety. It is time for the supervisor Qin Tian to choose an auspicious day and hire him under the right minister's residence. Miss Qin Yan is the right minister's residence. The eldest young lady is the direct descendant of the eldest daughter, and she is backed by her uncle's family. What's more, this is the marriage that the eldest princess set for the prince, and I hope the prince will treat it with caution."

Seeing that the prince's complexion was getting darker and darker, Li Zhong insisted on finishing his words.

"Miss A Yan is deeply loved by the prince, but she is not of a high background. The prince can place her outside the mansion, and after marrying Miss Qin Yan, then..."

"I have my own judgement about marriage. Relying on a woman, what's the difference between me and Xie An?" Xie Changyuan interrupted Li Zhong's unfinished words in a cold voice, and directly called his father, Yongding Hou Xie'an, by name.

Xie An got into the eyes of the sage by military merit, and the eldest sister of the sage who bestowed the marriage, the eldest princess of Anyang, was also awarded the title of Marquis of Yongding. There were not many titles given by the Daxia Royal Family, one Duke and two Marquis, but the Marquis of Yongding was among them relying on Princess Shang.

This Marquis is famous, and he doesn't care that Princess Anyang is eight years older than him, and he happily accepts the marriage. After marriage, there are no concubines in the mansion, and the husband and wife are a good example.

But now this model couple has become a laughing stock in Beijing.

------

Three years ago, Lord Xie was seriously injured in the army. The eldest princess of Anyang traveled a long distance to Xie An’s hometown, Yingchuan, to worship her ancestors, in order to protect Xie Hou’s safety.

But there, I saw a Xie Zhao who looked exactly like Xie An when he was young. The eldest princess of Anyang was puzzled, and only after an investigation did she find out that Xie An once had a mother-in-law in her hometown, and gave birth to a son Xie Zhao for Xie An. But because Xie An wanted Princess Shang, Xie Zhao's name in the Xie family tree was rewritten to the name of Xie An's cousin.

The most ironic thing is that Xie An and Lian Niang have a daughter who is a few years younger than Xie Changyuan.

After marrying Xie An, she returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors every year. Xie An asked her to cultivate in Beijing on the grounds that Anyang was weak. He also said that young people put their studies first and never brought their only son Xie Changyuan.

When the eldest princess of Anyang learned about these pickled things, she felt cold all over. I used to think how considerate Xie An was, but now I feel how disgusting. Immediately return to Beijing, and do not leave the palace.

At that time, Xie An and Xie Changyuan were both in the Shuobei Army, and the war with the Turks was coming to an end. Xie An received news from Yingchuan that Anyang worshipped the ancestors, Lian Niang hanged herself, and Xie Zhao disappeared.

Regardless of the serious injury, Xie An immediately returned to Yingchuan's hometown to deal with Lian Niang's funeral, and asked someone to find Xie Zhao's whereabouts.

Since returning to Beijing, Anyang has been involved in old illnesses and has been bedridden. Little did she know that what she was waiting for was not her husband's apology and consolation, but a cold eyebrow.

Xie An used a cold and severe tone that Anyang had never heard before, accusing her of being narrow-minded, having no tolerance for people, and treating people's lives like a must. Only then did Anyang know that Lian Niang had passed away.

That Lian Niang used her death to make Xie An feel more indebted to her children. Regardless of Anyang's obstruction, Xie An insisted on recognizing the eldest son Xie Zhao and daughter Xie Jing.

After receiving Xie An's cold treatment, Anyang was disheartened, and his health deteriorated. When Xie Changyuan returned to the house, he saw his mother who was dying by relying on ginseng soup to continue her life.

How could Xie Changyuan not remember Xie Zhao, Xie An's beloved son. Now Qin Yan had better not have anything to do with Xie Zhao, otherwise, the marriage would have to be abandoned.

------

Half a month later, a black carriage entered the capital from Yongding Gate, and the carriage drove straight to the Qin Mansion of the Right Chancellor located in the east of the city.

At the main entrance of Qin Mansion, the carriage stopped. Shen Ying, who was driving, jumped down neatly and strode towards the mansion gate.

The guard stepped forward to stop it and said:

"Please show the invitation."

Shen Ying's tone was slightly cold:

"The eldest lady of your house is in the car."

The guard glanced at the carriage with no emblem behind Shen Ying and scolded,

"There is only one Miss Nian in the Qin mansion. Today our young lady is having a banquet in the mansion. Where are you liars from all corners of the country, how dare you come to the prime minister's mansion to act wild!"

Hearing the other party's gradually raising the volume, Shen Ying laughed angrily. He kicked the guard to the ground with a sudden kick, and the rest of the guards immediately surrounded and moved their hands with Shen Ying.

Zhang Quan, the housekeeper, hurried to hear the news. Zhang Quan was an old man from the Xiangfu and Qin Xiang's confidant, so he knew that the eldest young lady Qin Yan was about to return to the residence.

Since the wife and the eldest lady left home and the old lady said she was ill, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been in charge of Concubine Song these years. All the old people in the house were sent to Zhuangzi by Concubine Song.

Now there are newcomers in the mansion, and everyone takes Aunt Song as their mother, and they only know that there is only one Miss Nian in the mansion, and no one knows that there is another eldest daughter.

The matter of the eldest lady returning home should have been arranged a few days earlier. But the meaning given by Qiushuiyuan is that in the past few days, the preparation for Miss Nian's and the banquet has been put on hold.

Zhang Quan understood that this was the one from Qiushuiyuan who wanted to embarrass the eldest young lady.

------

Xiangye has invited the patriarch and a group of clan elders to Beijing, and Aunt Song is about to become a serious mistress. Although he has a little sympathy for this eldest lady, he can still tell which one is more important.

I never thought that this was just to give the little girl a slap in the face, but it was so ugly.

When Zhang Quan went to the gate of the mansion, what he saw was a group of guards lying on the ground screaming, and a woman dressed in black attire standing quietly in front of the carriage.

Zhang Quan came to the front of the car and bowed,

"Next is Zhang Quan, the housekeeper of the Qin residence. Excuse me, is the eldest lady in the car?"

There was no movement in the carriage, and Shen Ying outside the carriage mocked:

"I heard that there is only one Miss Nian in your house, butler Zhang, don't call the wrong person."

Zhang Quan faces the carriageway:

"The eldest miss has been away from the mansion for more than ten years, and the newcomers in the mansion do not know the eldest miss, the eldest miss Haihan."

Seeing that there was still no response in the car, Zhang Quan spoke again:

"Please go to the mansion, Miss."

"New...Old..." A lazy female voice came from the car.

A slender and fair hand lifted the curtain of the car and walked down a woman in a black robe.

This woman was taller and taller than ordinary women, with a beautiful face, with a little shadow of a lord in her eyebrows, but she was a bit more like the original wife Shen Shiying.

The aura around her body is not like the usual noble ladies, but has a sense of coercion that has been in the upper position for a long time. Zhang Quan was a little puzzled. Is this what a young lady who grew up in the Northwest should look like? It doesn't look so good.

Without thinking too much, Zhang Quan immediately bowed and saluted,

"The housekeeper Zhang Quan, I have seen the eldest miss."

"Rong Xiao leads the way for the eldest lady."

After speaking, Zhang Quan made a gesture of invitation and stepped sideways towards the house.

Qin Yan walked leisurely, and Shen Ying followed closely.

Entering the mansion gate, walking through the front yard, and in front of an exquisite hanging flower gate, Qin Yan stopped and looked at Zhang Quan with a half-smiley smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Quan explained:

"When the eldest miss returns home, you should meet the old lady first."

"Are you teaching me to do things?" Qin Yan sneered and walked straight to Xiyuan in the east.

Zhang Quan secretly screamed bad, at this moment Xiyuan...
