Chapter 329: Capsizing in the Gutter

The ministers of the court supported him, but for the sake of the emperor's face, they knew that he would definitely ascend to the throne in the future, so they wanted to secretly stabilize the interests of the family.

In fact, the prince was very disgusted in his heart, but in the court, he couldn't get rid of everything in front of him at all.

"Xiaguan saw that His Highness was sullen, has something happened in the palace recently?" Xiao Hanyin said tentatively.

"It's always been the same in the palace!" The crown prince sighed and said, "But my father wants me to get married!" ”

"His Royal Highness is three years older than Xiaguan, and now Xiaguan has been married for almost a year, so the emperor naturally wants to hold his grandson!" Xiao Han's eyes flashed slightly.

"Not everyone can meet someone like you!" A hint of loneliness flashed in the prince's eyes.

He wanted to marry someone he liked, and he didn't want to follow the emperor's arrangement and find the daughter of a high-ranking minister in the court to be his concubine.

The prince is privately very optimistic about the relationship between Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao, they met in Weimo, and after so many trials and tests, the two are not separated, and their feelings are getting stronger and stronger.

Previously, in order to be together, they even did not hesitate to contradict his father.

Regardless of life and death, the prince insists on being together, but he is a rational person.

In the royal family, the people who are in love don't end well, and his queen mother is like this.

The crown prince once swore that he would never let his wife end up like his mother in this life and this life.

"His Royal Highness is a noble and deep emperor's favor, and he will definitely be able to find a woman who truly loves him to spend his life with!" When Xiao Hanyin was talking to him, he had been secretly observing his actions.

He found that the crown prince really didn't seem to know that the emperor had sent someone to keep an eye on him.

In the past, when they were in the palace, they were like brothers, and Xiao Hanyin didn't want the prince to really be suspicious of him, so he sent someone to spy on him.

The friendship between him and the prince who grew up together since childhood made Xiao Hanyin always respect him, after all, the prince had maintained him a lot before, and he had never used him as a tool.

"Born in the emperor's family seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the helplessness of each is only clear to yourself!" The prince sighed.

If he was just an ordinary prince, or a prince with no ambitions, maybe he could really meet a woman who really loved each other as Xiao Hanyin said.

However, his background is predestined, and he will not have such good luck.

"Your Highness hasn't met the woman you like yet, maybe the emperor chose it for you, and it happens to be what you like!" Xiao Hanyin knew the inside story of the death of the first queen, so he understood the helplessness in the prince's heart.

After all, being in the royal family, his marriage cannot be decided.

"Although my father doesn't want to force me, he has already ordered someone to arrange a banquet and wants me to choose a woman to be the crown princess!" A hint of embarrassment flashed in the prince's eyes.

"There are many ladies in the imperial city, Your Highness will definitely be able to meet a woman with both talent and appearance!" Xiao Hanyin comforted.

In fact, speaking of this, he has always been very grateful to God for letting him meet Liu Qingshao.

If it weren't for her, Xiao Hanyin would not have any plans to get married at all.

He originally wanted to live his life as he pleased.

"Ah Yin, why don't you go with me to the palace banquet arranged by my father?" After the prince heard his words, a ghostly light quickly crossed his eyes.

In fact, the prince did not have the slightest affection for such a move, so he has always resisted it.

But the emperor didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.

The crown prince is older than Xiao Hanyin, and now that he is married, and the prince has not married a wife for a long time, how can the emperor not be in a hurry.

After all, if the crown prince can have a concubine as soon as possible, his position will be more stable, not to mention that the emperor has long wanted to hold his grandson......

Therefore, the prince must go to this banquet, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he can't refuse.

"Your Highness, this is not in order!" Xiao Hanyin frowned slightly.

The prince went to see those women, and he was accompanied by a married man, who was afraid that it was not appropriate.

"Don't worry, everyone knows that you have already married a wife, and you will be fine!" The prince didn't want to deal with those women alone, so he wanted to take Xiao Hanyin with him.

"Your Royal Highness, this matter is the emperor's will, and Weichen does not dare to overstep it!" Xiao Hanyin didn't want to see those women at all.

There is only one Liu Qingshao in his eyes, and as for the other women, they are all rouge and vulgar powder in his eyes, which is less than one ten-thousandth of Liu Qingshao.

"This is Lone's order!" The crown prince glanced at him and said, "You must go with Lone!" ”

The prince has always had a headache about this matter, and now that he has finally found someone who can be his companion, he will not let Xiao Hanyin go back.

"Your Highness, if you don't like it, the emperor will definitely not force you!" Xiao Hanyin sighed.

"You Miss Liu are very affectionate, you won't be in trouble if you go!" The prince insisted on taking Xiao Hanyin with him.

In the end, Xiao Hanyin still couldn't refuse the prince's request, so he had to agree.

However, after he went back, he still told Liu Qingshao about it.

"The prince wants you to accompany him to see the woman?" A faint smile crossed Liu Qingshao's eyes.

"Well, he doesn't want to deal with those women, he finds it boring!" Xiao Hanyin has been his companion since he was a child, and he is very clear about the prince's temperament.

He was a humble and benevolent man, but he didn't have any thoughts about the nobles in the imperial city.

The prince felt that those women were too rigid, although he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he wanted to choose a woman who liked each other in his heart, rather than a woman who was talented but really boring.

Therefore, the emperor has not worried about his marriage over the years, but the prince just doesn't let go......

This time, the emperor really didn't want the prince to find an excuse to delay, so he would have this trick. Bashan Academy

"The prince is approaching twenty now, and it is indeed time to marry a wife!" Liu Qingshao nodded.

In modern times, almost everyone at this age is still in college, but in ancient times, most of them were married, and some even became fathers.

Both men and women married at an early age in ancient times, and became grandparents in their thirties......

The crown prince has not married a wife so far, and it is completely the emperor who connives.

However, for the royal family, the heir is extremely important, so the emperor will not give him a chance to hide.

Liu Qingshao didn't care about this matter, after all, Xiao Hanyin was just accompanying the prince over, not to mention that she believed in Xiao Hanyin's character.

If Xiao Hanyin really had other thoughts, they wouldn't be together.

Liu Qingshao knows that he is a person who is extremely determined about feelings, even if he has a selfish father, he is still upright in his bones.

His father, Xiao Yifeng, is a person who doesn't care much about his wife's feelings.

When Xiao Hanyin's mother died, he was not with him, and just two years after his wife died, he couldn't wait to marry his stepfamily.

Generally, if the husband attaches importance to the original match, he will keep it for three years, and then remarry, but unfortunately Xiao Yifeng does not have so much.

At that time, Xiao Hanyin was still young, but he left a knot in his heart, which has not been untied yet......

The next day, he went directly to the prince's mansion, and then the two attacked together and attended the palace banquet.

In the past, the prince's guards noticed that something was wrong.

In fact, when Xiao Hanyin went out, he noticed that someone was following him.

However, he ignored it at that time, and came directly to the prince's mansion.

Xiao Hanyin originally had no intention of letting the prince find these people, but since his guards noticed it, he happily pushed it secretly.

"Your Highness, I found out that someone had been secretly following us!" The guard whispered in his ear.

"What?" Hearing this, the prince's eyes overflowed with surprise.

This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there will be people following him, and the prince is very shocked by this.

After all, everyone knew his identity, and generally no one dared to follow him, because he was not only accompanied by guards, but also secretly protected by secret guards.

As the heir to the throne, there are indeed many people who want to assassinate him on weekdays, but there are not many people who dare to follow him.

Those who want to kill him mostly look for opportunities directly and then make a decisive move.

However, when the crown prince was in the imperial city, he rarely encountered assassinations, after all, the imperial city was patrolled on weekdays, and very few people dared to do anything here.

Now, when he learned that someone dared to follow him, he immediately ordered the guards to find a way to arrest the other party.

The prince hated this kind of person very much in his heart.

After listening to his command, the guards quickly hid their figures.

The people who followed them secretly were actually coming for Xiao Hanyin, so he didn't care about the sudden disappearance of the prince's guards.

As a result, it was precisely because of his indifference that he capsized in the gutter.

While he was staring at Xiao Hanyin, the prince's guards went directly behind him and immediately tried to catch him.

After the other party reacted, he moved with the prince's guards.

However, he was afraid that the other party was the prince's subordinate, so he didn't dare to be ruthless.

The prince believed in the martial arts of his guards, so he took Xiao Hanyin directly to a nearby teahouse to wait.

He figured it wouldn't be long before his guards would be able to bring people over.

Xiao Hanyin knew the situation, but in order to test the prince, he deliberately pretended not to know anything, and followed the prince to the teahouse to drink tea.

Although he had tested the crown prince before, he found that he didn't seem to know about the emperor, and secretly became suspicious of himself and Liu Qingshao.

Still, he wanted to know the prince's reaction to this incident.

If he learned that the emperor had sent someone to follow him and did nothing, then he would have found a way to take Liu Qingshao away from the dispute in the imperial city as soon as possible.

He originally promised to assist the crown prince to ascend the throne before leaving, but the emperor's approach made him and Liu Qingshao very unhappy, and they almost never had selfish intentions for the royal family.

It's a pity that not only can't get the emperor's approval, but also is suspected by him, and everyone will be unhappy.

After the two waited in the teahouse for a while, the prince's guards brought them back.

Although the man tried to escape several times, he was no match for him.

The prince's guards are among the best masters in the imperial city, and their kung fu is second only to Xiao Hanyin.

They were all carefully selected by the emperor to protect the crown prince, and they were outstanding in both martial arts and ability.

"Say, who sent you?" The prince said coldly.

At this time, they were sitting in the private room of the teahouse, and no one dared to disturb them.

Xiao Hanyin had already given the silver and wrapped up the entire teahouse.

He didn't want the word to get out, so he didn't want anyone to hear about it.

"Your Highness is angry, and there is no malice in your humble position!" When the man saw the prince, he immediately knelt before him.
