Chapter 309: Growth

Zhu Yaojiang has lived in this imperial city for seventeen years, since his mother died of illness, Zhu Yaojiang has become more and more lonely, and the only one who can talk to Zhu Yaojiang is the little palace maid and little eunuch.

Emperor Longqing has four sons and seven daughters, Zhu Yaojiang is the youngest daughter, it stands to reason that most of the time the eldest son and the youngest daughter are the most favored by their father (emperor), Zhu Yaojiang did not enjoy the favor of his father, Zhu Yaojiang died not long after he was born, and Zhu Yaojiang's half-brother Zhu Yijun ascended the throne.

Even if they have the same father, but not the same mother, there is not much family affection between Zhu Yaojiang and Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yaojiang can't even see Zhu Yijun a few times a year.

The princess can be said to be one of the most expensive women in the world, I don't know how many men want to join the Zhu family, and the status of the princess also makes many princesses more rude.

But Zhu Yaojiang didn't have any brutality, without the support of his father and mother, Zhu Yaojiang has always been cautious in this imperial city, worried about conflicts with others, and slowly waited, waiting for the day when her emperor's brother gave her marriage.

Now Zhu Yaojiang is seventeen years old, and the age of marriage is getting closer and closer, many times Zhu Yaojiang is thinking about what his future husband will be like, a heroic young general, or a "scholar" who reads poetry and books with a graceful demeanor, Zhu Yaojiang can't wait to stay away from this imperial city that wants to make him breathless.

On this day, Zhu Yijun personally came to the palace where Zhu Yaojiang lived, Zhu Yijun said a lot of words to Zhu Yaojiang, Zhu Yaojiang felt that he was about to be married, but how did Zhu Yaojiang feel that he couldn't understand the words of the emperor's brother, why was the emperor's brother's expression so complicated.

has been living in the imperial city, and even most of the time is active within the scope of his own palace, only the little palace maid and the little eunuch can speak, Zhu Yaojiang does not know that there is a powerful enemy in the world that originally belonged to the Zhu family, this powerful enemy has already occupied one-third of the fifteen provinces of the Zhu family, the Zhu family is no longer able to resist this enemy, and now the Zhu family has reached a very dangerous situation.

Zhu Yijun left the palace where Zhu Yaojiang lived, and there were more palace maids and eunuchs serving Zhu Yaojiang, and Zhu Yijun had not officially decreed marriage, but some things gradually spread in the imperial city, and even the little palace maids and eunuchs who served Zhu Yaojiang also heard about these things.

The new palace maid and eunuch didn't talk much, but the little palace maid Xiang Ning, who had been serving Zhu Yaojiang, quietly told the princess what she heard.

Knowing the current situation of the Zhu family and knowing that he might be given a marriage to the leader of the anti-thieves, Zhu Yaojiang felt as if the sky had fallen.

"How can it be, how can it be like this, what did I do wrong, why punish me like this."

Tears flowed uncontrollably from Zhu Yaojiang's eyes, and the bed was gradually wet with tears.

Seeing the crying princess, Xiangning was at a loss and felt that she had done something wrong.

Zhu Yaojiang cried, she fell asleep with Xiangning when she was tired of crying, and soon, a new day came, Zhu Yaojiang didn't cry anymore, crying was useless, if the thing was true, this was her Zhu Yaojiang's fate, the princess was also a woman, and she couldn't change the fate given by the emperor.

Originally, within the confines of the palace where he lived, he could still have a little smile on his face, but after knowing what had happened, he became more and more silent.

Zhu Yaojiang understands that being given to marry the leader of the anti-thieves, she Zhu Yaojiang will become a disgrace to the Zhu family, and once she leaves the imperial city and leaves the capital, not many people will be willing to see her anymore.

Zhu Yaojiang has some resentment in his heart, but he knows that this resentment is not of much use, Daming is now powerless to resist the thief, saying that it is the leader of the anti-thief who gives marriage, and it is difficult to say that it is to send a daughter to seek peace, the only woman that the Zhu family can send out now is her Zhu Yaojiang, Zhu Yaojiang can only blame himself for his bad luck, he did not give birth two years early, and married early.

Zhu Yaojiang thought of death, but Zhu Yaojiang knew that it was not the time to die, after all, it was the woman of the Zhu family, and at least she had to complete her mission before she could die, and she saw the thieves being exterminated, and her nominal husband and the leader of the thieves died, and then committed suicide.

A few days later, Zhu Yijun came to visit Zhu Yaojiang again, after all, she was her sister who was related by blood, for the sake of Daming, Zhu Yijun had to give her sister to the thief, Zhu Yijun felt very uncomfortable, but he was helpless, and he couldn't make any compensation to Zhu Yaojiang.

Zhu Yijun saw Zhu Yaojiang again, looking at the somewhat discordant smile on his sister's face, Zhu Yijun felt that his sister seemed to know something.

"Yao Jiang, you know everything? Alas! Zhu Yijun sighed, there are no outsiders, and Zhu Yijun does not have to maintain his majesty as an emperor.

"Know." Zhu Yao and Jiang Muran nodded and said.

"It's really hard for you, this is our man's business, but we need you as a woman to delay time for us."

"I am a woman of the Zhu family, and I am willing to serve the thief for the sake of the Zhu family, without complaint or regret."

Zhu Yaojiang barely squeezed out a smile on his pretty face, but it made Zhu Yijun feel even more heartbroken, blaming him for ignoring this well-behaved sister before, if only he had paid more attention to his sister before.

"Yao Jiang, do you still have any wishes, say it, my brother will fulfill all your wishes."

Zhu Yaojiang shook her head, she didn't want to marry the thief leader, but was it possible?

"Brother Emperor, what else does Yao Jiang need to do after Yao Jiang marries the thief?"

Zhu Yijun also shook his head and said: "No need, no need, as long as it is delayed for a few years, my brother can lead a million army to exterminate the thieves and take you back." ”

Zhu Yijun didn't think about sending Zhu Yaojiang over to do something more, asking Zhu Yaojiang to assassinate the leader of the thieves? This is too difficult and too difficult for a weak woman, and the thief's side will definitely be on guard, so it is better to wait quietly for a few years, when the millions of troops will directly swallow the thief.

Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yaojiang talked for a long time before leaving, and when the palace maid and eunuch guards came to Zhu Yijun's side, Zhu Yijun had already recovered his true colors as an emperor, and all the feelings that had been revealed by Zhu Yaojiang's side had been put away, and Zhu Yijun was unwilling to let outsiders see his fragile side.

Looking at the emperor's brother walking away, Zhu Yaojiang continued to be silent, she could feel that most of the feelings that the emperor's brother had just revealed by her side were true, and that was enough, and the resentment in her heart dissipated somewhat.

The women of the Zhu family can't control their own destiny, it's just that the marriage partners are different.

In just a few days, Zhu Yaojiang grew up rapidly, Zhu Yaojiang didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him, it could be darkness, it could be endless torture, but Zhu Yaojiang would grit his teeth and persevere, and watch the thieves who wanted to take away the Zhu family's world be exterminated.
