Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Transaction of the Chai and Li Families (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Chai Shao's grandfather, Chai Lie, was a general of the Northern Zhou Hussars, successively served as the assassin of Sui and Liang Erzhou, and was named the champion of the county. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Li Yuan's father, Li Xun, was the official of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the governor of Anzhou, and the general of the Zhu State, and attacked the Duke of Tang. The Chai and Li families had a good relationship as early as Li Yuan's father's generation, and when they arrived at Li Yuan's generation, they could really be called world friends.

Li Yuan and Chai Shao's father Chai Shen also have a good relationship, and it is precisely because of this that as early as Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang were children, the two already had a marriage contract, and when Princess Pingyang arrived at the year of Jilu, she and Chai Shao were officially engaged, but at that time, Queen Dou was not in good health and did not want her daughter to leave her too early, so the two did not get married.

Until Princess Pingyang was almost nineteen years old, the period of filial piety expired, but at that time the world was in turmoil, and Li Yuan had no intention of marrying a daughter, but later he secretly prepared to rebel, in order to dispel the suspicion of the imperial court, he planned to let Princess Pingyang marry Chai Shao, who stayed in Chang'an, and sent Princess Pingyang as a hostage to the hands of the Great Sui Court in disguise.

Princess Pingyang didn't know in advance that her father was preparing to rebel, let alone the purpose of sending her to get married, after all, she was a woman, even if she was favored by Li Yuan, but Li Yuan would rather discuss these things with Li Shimin, who was one year younger than her, and would never say this to Princess Pingyang, so Princess Pingyang always simply thought that she was going to get married, and she didn't know that her marriage was still involved in so many things.

However, Chai Shao's father, Chai Shen, had already seen through Li Yuan's plan, and he also knew that Li Yuan was going to rebel, after all, he was Li Yuan's friend for many years, and he couldn't know Li Yuan better. Just before Princess Pingyang went to Chang'an, Chai Shen came to Taiyuan alone to meet Li Yuan, and the two talked secretly all night before Chai Shen left.

Chai Shen came to see Li Yuan, mainly to negotiate with him, at that time he was not optimistic about the situation of the Great Sui, but he did not have as much ambition and courage as Li Yuan, and he did not dare to rebel, so he wanted to take Li Yuan's chariot.

Regarding the marriage of his son and Princess Pingyang, Chai Shen told Li Yuan that he could agree, but in this way, their Chai family would also have to bear a certain risk, and even Chai Shen would have to risk losing a son, because before Li Yuan officially started the army, Chai Shao and Princess Pingyang had to stay in Chang'an, so he put forward a condition to Li Yuan that if the Li family really won the world in the future, they must treat their Chai family well, and they must not lose each other forever!

Li Yuan was poor and white at the time, and he didn't have any confidence in his heart, so he was also very grateful for Chai Shen's support, and for the conditions he proposed, he patted his chest and promised that he would never forget the kindness of the Chai family, which made Chai Shen finally leave Taiyuan satisfied.

"On the day we got married, the news of my father's rebellion finally reached Chang'an, when Chai Shao and I were worshipping, but his parents did not come, so I was very confused, and later learned that they were worried about the danger, so everyone in the Chai family left Chang'an in advance, leaving Chai Shao alone to marry me."

When I said this, I saw Princess Pingyang pause for a moment and then said: "I remember the situation very clearly, the worship hall has not been completed, those guests who received the news have left, for fear of being implicated, I didn't even have time to change the wedding dress, was arranged by Uncle Ma to escape from Chang'an, and then the pursuers of the Great Sui court chased up, Chai Shao in order to escape, actually left all of us alone to escape, at first I couldn't even believe that this was true, and after I was convinced, I was angry and burned the wedding dress, from when, I will never recognize Chai Shao as my husband again! ā€

When it came to the end, Princess Ruyu of Pingyang also showed a rare look of resentment on her face, but then she regained her calm, and she had already thought clearly, it was really not worth being angry with people like Chai Shao.

"People like Chai Shao really don't deserve the princess's anger!" Li Xiu was also a little annoyed at this time, he had heard Ma Ye talk about this matter once before, but now listening to the princess say it herself, it still made him feel very angry, what this Chai Shao did was simply not a thing, in order to escape for his life, even his new wife could be left behind, no wonder Princess Pingyang couldn't forgive him!

"Well, thank you Captain Li for your persuasion!" Princess Pingyang nodded to Li Xiu at this time, and then continued, "Later, when I saw my father again, I also mentioned that I wanted to dissolve my marriage with Chai Shao, but my father promised to treat the Chai family well, and Chai Shao also made some contributions in the army, so I was advised to think twice, and later I even hoped that I would forgive Chai Shao, plus some secondary reasons I said before, so this matter dragged on!" ā€

"Your Majesty's current attitude, does you want the princess to reunite with Chai Shao?" Li Xiu asked again at this time.

"Yes, although I don't despise Chai Shao's personality, he still has some talent in military affairs, and he has made meritorious contributions with his second brother over the years, plus he usually shows himself many times in front of his father, so his father's attitude towards him has also changed." Princess Pingyang sighed at this time and said, if she could hold on at the beginning, maybe Li Yuan would really dissolve his marriage with Chai Shao, but now that the time has passed, it will be more troublesome to dissolve the marriage again.

"What about you, princess, what do you think?" Li Xiu stared at Princess Pingyang with a somewhat compelling gaze at this time and asked.

"I ...... What do I think? Princess Pingyang was a little flustered by Li Xiu's aggressive gaze, and she was a little at a loss at the moment.

"Marriage is already like a cage for the princess, instead of staying in this cage and watching her grow old, why not break free from this cage and find a new life?" Li Xiu looked directly into Princess Pingyang's eyes and said, at this time, he suddenly felt an unprecedented impulse welling up in his chest, no matter what, he was not willing to sit back and watch Princess Pingyang trapped in a cage.

Feeling the burning heat in Li Xiu's eyes, Princess Pingyang felt even more flustered, her chest kept hitting like a deer, her eyes didn't dare to look at him, and it became a little difficult to even speak.

"I ...... I do not know! After a long time, Princess Pingyang said in a panic, Li Xiu's question was too sudden, and she didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"Xiuning, you are a decisive woman, so you must know how to choose, if you wish to dissolve your marriage with Chai Shao, just nod, and I will do the rest for you!" Li Xiu showed an unprecedented domineering expression, he had never been an active person, but this time he made an exception and took the initiative.

Hearing Li Xiu's words call her name, Princess Pingyang finally raised her head to look at Li Xiu, and her eyes also showed a confused look, no matter how strong she is, she is also a woman, and sometimes she also hopes to have a strong arm to rely on, Li Xiu's words just now made her feel like she had something to rely on, although the young man in front of her did not look very tall and majestic, but in her heart, he was more worthy of trust than anyone else.

Thinking of the above, Princess Pingyang finally strengthened her belief in her heart, and nodded heavily at the moment, which also made Li Xiu show a bright smile, as long as Princess Pingyang was willing, then he would have a way to dissolve the nominal marriage between her and Chai Shao.

It was getting late, Li Xiu stood up to send Princess Pingyang home, the two didn't say anything along the way, but they both felt that the relationship between each other was also closer, Qi Niang seemed to feel that the atmosphere between the two was a little delicate, and kept looking at Li Xiu and then at the princess along the way, and there was a puzzled expression on his little face, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

finally came to the gate of the other courtyard, and Princess Pingyang was about to enter, but at this time, she glanced at Li Xiu with some reluctance, and opened her mouth several times to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Princess, thank you for helping me plant flowers and plants today, the so-called helping people to the end, I wonder if you can come and help me tomorrow?" Li Xiu saw the expression on Princess Pingyang's face, and took the initiative to speak immediately.

"Well, I'll definitely go tomorrow morning!" Princess Pingyang said with a shy expression again when she heard this, and after speaking, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Li Xiu.

"Then it's decided, I'll be waiting for you over there tomorrow!" Li Xiu saw Princess Pingyang's shy appearance, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, after saying goodbye to Princess Pingyang, and then left with Qi Niang, Princess Pingyang stood in front of the mansion and watched the back of Li Xiu leaving, and waited until he couldn't see him, then he showed a sweet smile and entered the mansion.

It's just that Princess Pingyang just left the mansion gate, but I saw Ma Ye walk out of the gatehouse next to the mansion gate, he saw all the performance of Princess Pingyang just now, and then he looked at the back of Princess Pingyang leaving, and then looked at the direction of Li Xiu's departure, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "This stinky boy is too bold!" ā€

On the way home, Qi Niang kept looking at Li Xiu with a little face, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Brother, what did you say to Sister Xiuning, I feel as if she is very happy?" ā€

"Hehe, this is a secret, you will understand when you grow up!" Li Xiu was also in a good mood, and leaned over and smiled at her at the moment.

"Ah~, when will I grow up?" Qi Niang heard some dissatisfaction here, children all hope to grow up quickly, but they don't know that when they grow up, most people hope to stay in childhood forever.

As soon as Qi Niang entered the living room, she heard a thunderous snoring sound from the study next to her, she seemed to run over to take a look, but soon ran out again and said: "Brother, why is this curly bearded uncle here again, you won't quarrel all night today, right?" ā€

"Hehe, don't worry, my brother won't quarrel with this uncle anymore, when he wakes up, my brother will fool him well...... No, I want to have a good chat with him! When Li Xiu said this, there was a malicious look on his face. The sleeping bearded guest in the study also seemed to feel a chill coming, and his whole body suddenly shivered, and then he turned over and continued to sleep. (To be continued.) )
