Xie Mulin and Xie Jinzhi were both stunned, and the former reacted a little faster: "Miss Zhao? Which one? It can't be the one who almost became the crown princess before, right? ”

Hearing his sister say this, Xie Jinzhi also reacted: "Won't it?" Didn't the third prince refuse to marry the young lady of the Zhao family in front of the Queen Mother? What could be out of the ordinary about them? Could it be that Miss Zhao complained about the third prince because of that incident? ”

This is a reasonable speculation, but Xie Xianzhi shook his head and denied it, and pushed the last two pages of the eldest sister's letter to the younger sister with an ugly face: "Read it for yourselves." He was a little speechless.

Xie Mulin quickly took the letter and read it with Xie Jinyi.

Xie Yinghui didn't seem to be sure whether she should tell her brother about this secret thing she knew, but she really needed her brother to give her some advice, and if possible, it was best to help a little more.

She originally didn't expect that there would be any ambiguity between Zhao Ying and the three princes, just as Xie Jinzhi thought, the three princes categorically refused to marry Zhao Ying when the Queen Mother intended to be a matchmaker, so Zhao Ying would never have anything to do with him anymore. Now within the Zhao family, even the children who originally had a good relationship with the three princes have completely distanced themselves from him, and there is no hope for the marriage of the two families.

Not long ago, Zhao Ying made a marriage contract with the third son of the eldest princess of Yongning, and there was still a marriage contract given by the emperor and rewarded by the queen mother. Unless one of the fiancés was unlucky enough to die before the marriage, it is unlikely that anything will change in the marriage. It is impossible for Zhao Ying to ruin her marriage and marry someone else, let alone marry an emperor like the third prince. The royal family will never allow it.

However, when Xie Yinghui accompanied her friend Ma Yurong to Zhao's house to visit Zhao Ying, who was still recuperating, she accidentally met a person in the other party's yard. This person Xie Yinghui didn't know, but Ma Yurong recognized it, and knew that the other party was the third prince's manpower outside the palace.

Ma Yurong, as the granddaughter of the first emperor and the emperor's niece, has often been in and out of the palace since she was a child. The two are the same age, and the third prince often goes to the queen mother to Cheng Huan's knees, compared to the prince who is very strict with Empress Cao and does not often go to Cining Palace, and the second prince who has a bad temper and is arrogant, Ma Yurong naturally feels that the three princes are better to get along with. It's just that the two of them are getting older, and she begins to feel that the gentleness of the third prince is a little awkward, as if it is not very real, although she didn't find anything bad about the other party, but she gradually distanced herself from him, and turned to get close to her cousin Lu Feiyun, and others did not suspect it.

When they were still very young, Ma Yurong had seen a palace maid beside the third prince and knew that the other party was very important. Later, the palace maid went out of the palace to marry, gave birth to children, and only returned to work for the third prince after her husband's death. She didn't go back to the palace, but ran errands for the third prince outside, usually helping to buy some expensive fat powder jewelry to honor Concubine Xiao, and occasionally helping to deliver letters and things.

When Ma Yurong was just estranged from the third prince, he also sent this old palace person to send her something to make her happy, but later saw that her attitude was still cold, so he didn't follow.

Right now, this old palace man appeared in Zhao Ying's courtyard, obviously carrying the mission of the third prince. What will be the relationship between the three princes and Zhao Ying?

The people in the old palace didn't know if they were afraid that Ma Yurong would recognize them, so they kept their heads down, avoided people as much as possible, and acted very low-key. However, Ma Yurong has a good memory, and she recognized people at a glance, and she kept wondering in her heart.

If the third prince's person appeared in someone else's house, she might not be nosy, but now it is Zhao Ying who is involved. Zhao Ying has just made a marriage contract with her third brother, and she will pass the door next year, even if it is for her third brother, she can't help but ask clearly.

So Ma Yurong asked Zhao Ying directly, Zhao Ying suddenly panicked, and even the girl next to her changed her face.

Who is Zhao Ying? In the palace, even if she heard that the prince disliked her bad reputation, she could not change her face. Now that the panic is like this, how much impact should it be? Who would believe that there is no secret between her and the third prince? Not to mention Ma Yurong, even the spectator Xie Yinghui doesn't believe it!

Ma Yurong continued to ask, but Zhao Ying couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly burst into tears, but she refused to say a word. It was the big girl next to her who was wronged by her own girl and told the truth for her.

It turned out that not long after Zhao Ying was preliminarily selected as the crown princess, the third prince became friends with her brother, and came to Zhao's house to visit, but somehow, he met Zhao Ying in the garden. Zhao Ying deliberately avoided it at that time, but the third prince claimed that she came to meet her future sister-in-law on behalf of her brother, so she couldn't really leave. Thinking that her brother was still present at the time, she stayed and said a few words to the third prince, which were generally scenes and did not violate any etiquette.

Later, the third prince met her privately two or three times, all of them met by chance when they were guests outside, and they all talked. Every time the three princes have a reason, either for the crown prince, or for the queen mother and queen, Zhao Ying does not dare to be rude. Until the last time they met before entering the palace draft, the third prince suddenly said that he was inclined to her, regretting that she was about to marry the prince, but even if she became his sister-in-law in the future, his mind would not change.

Zhao Ying panicked at that time, and didn't understand how the third prince could be so bold. But when she entered the palace, she didn't dare to reveal this kind of thing to anyone, so she had to pretend to be casual and participate in the East Palace draft. The prince disliked her and kicked her out of the list of candidates for the crown princess, although she was aggrieved, she could still sit still. The second prince's request for marriage was refused, but she was also calm and comfortable. But when she heard the news that the third prince refused to marry, she was really stunned.

She didn't know what the third prince wanted to do, she knew what her identity was, and she ran to say that she was in love with her, and then refused to marry her, could it be that she was playing tricks on her? She didn't dare to stay in the palace anymore and entangled with the royal children, so she took advantage of her illness and withdrew from the draft. Maybe after she returns to the Zhao family, the marriage will be very difficult, but it is better than staying in the palace and letting others play tricks.

When the eldest princess of Yongning came to propose, she and Ma Sangongzi made a marriage contract, she was surprised and happy in her heart, and looked forward to a happy life in the future with hope. But who knows, the third prince came out again, and sent someone to send her some love letters that he didn't know, saying that he was forced by the second prince to refuse the marriage, in fact, he was very painful in his heart, and wanted to wait for the matter to move, and then ask the emperor for marriage, who knew that the eldest princess of Yongning started too quickly and snatched her away. The third prince was unwilling and wanted to see Zhao Ying again, and also mentioned that what she had given him in the past was still in his hands......

Zhao Ying's eldest girl told Ma Yurong very angrily: "Our girl never gave him anything at all!" But in the past, under the banner of the queen mother and the queen mother in the palace, he asked our girl for two hand-made needles and threads. The girl thought that the nobles in the palace wanted to see her female celebrity, but where did she think that the third prince simply kept the so-called token privately, intending to blackmail our girl?! The girl didn't know what the third prince was going to do, but she didn't dare to tell others, for fear that the good marriage would be ruined. Miss Ma, you have to believe our girl, she is a good daughter who is serious and innocent, and she never dares to violate etiquette! ”

Ma Yurong looked at Zhao Ying, who was in tears, and the latter acquiesced to the girl's statement. As for the love letter sent by the third prince, she was so frightened that she burned it and didn't keep it. But what those two needles and threads looked like, she could describe very clearly. Therefore, Ma Yurong guessed that what her girl said may not be a lie.

However, it is not necessarily the truth of the facts.
