Thinking of the current situation, Zhang Yuanxiao didn't have time to think about it, and opened the curtain again.

"Xingwu."

In front, a young man in a black suit riding a tall horse was busy driving his horse to Zhang Yuanxiao's carriage.

Under the heavy rain, it is almost impossible to see the appearance of the man.

"Prince, but what are your orders?"

"There's a town ahead?"

"Yes, there's a small town called Bailin."

"Looking at the weather, I'm afraid that the rain will get heavier and heavier, if it's late today, when you get to the town in front, stop to find an inn to rest, and wait for the rain to stop before setting off." Zhang Yuanxiao commanded.

Xingwu was obviously stunned, but he quickly replied: "Yes." ”

Not long after, the group arrived at an inn in Bailin County, and the innkeeper warmly greeted them.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the inn, the rain was a little heavier, mixed with the wind, almost head-on, which can make people's faces hurt.

When they went to Jiangnan, they did not use the prince's guard of honor, but dressed up as a caravan.

Rao is like this, the old shopkeeper still sees that the identity of their group is not ordinary, especially the leader, a handsome and noble man.

However, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly arranged a first-class guest room for them.

"Xingwu, let everyone have a good rest, eat when you should eat, wash up when you should wash, these days, you have worked hard to follow Lone all the way."

Xingwu's eyes were slightly hot, and he hurriedly said: "Prince, the subordinates and others are not hard." ”

They are the prince's subordinates, naturally they have full authority to listen to the prince, although it is indeed a bit hard to come all the way, but they also know that the prince is worried about the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, they naturally dare not complain, and now they have received a hard work from the prince, and they feel warmer in their hearts.

"Alright, go down and get some rest."

Brought food to Zhang Yuanxiao, and then sent the bath bucket and hot water, Xingwu left, but he didn't really leave, but next door, to protect Zhang Yuanxiao's safety.

In addition to Xingwu, it is his older brother Xingwen.

Xingwen, Xingwu are a pair of brothers, and their father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the two of them were Zhang Yuanxiao's companions when they were young, and now they are his personal guards and confidants.

Speaking of which, originally Xingwen and Xingwu were not qualified to be the companion of Zhang Yuanxiao, the crown prince, at that time, their father was just a junior official who had just entered Hanlin.

It's also fate, once the little prince sneaked out of the palace to play, Unfortunately, he met Pai Huazi, Although he was smart but still simple, the little prince was almost abducted, that is, he met Xingwen and Xingwu twins at that time, and finally they helped the little prince and other abducted children escape.

It can be said that Xingwen and Xingwu have a life-saving grace for the little prince.

It is precisely because of this that the little prince is very good to them, and later Emperor Qianyuan made an exception for the two brothers to become the little prince's companions, and the three of them grew up together.

Xingwen and Xingwu are both literate and martial, and they are also good to assist the prince.

But to be precise, Xingwen and Xingwu are both civil and military, but their preferences and specialties are biased.

It's just that in the previous life, the two who valued love and righteousness and were loyal to the prince turned out not to be good, and in the end they were designed by the original owner, and they died in the hands of the original person they had always been loyal to.

Zhang Yuanxiao couldn't help but want to scold the original owner for being loyal and treacherous, such a person is not worthy of being an emperor at all.

But on the contrary, he was the only one who won the favor of Emperor Qianyuan, and he was stunned to let Emperor Qianyuan give him the throne.

Zhang Yuanxiao didn't eat immediately, but took off his clothes and went into the bathtub to soak, while checking the information of the original owner in his mind.

In this world, he came for the crown princess Shen Xiyao and their two children, and of course for Xingwen, Xingwu and other innocent people who died.

In this world, the original owner is first of all a big scumbag whose eyes and heart are confused.

The original owner was born to Emperor Qianyuan and Empress Yuan, and Empress Yuan died in childbirth, Emperor Qianyuan was very fond of the original owner's son-in-law, and he directly named him the prince when he was one year old.

The original owner was personally taken by Emperor Qianyuan to raise him, whether it was the people he took care of or the things he used, everything was fine.

Emperor Qianyuan also supported the original owner's maiden power, in order to consolidate the status of the prince in the future, and also to prepare for the cultivation of cronies and henchmen for the original owner in the future.

Emperor Qianyuan loved Empress Yuan deeply, and after that, he rarely entered the harem, and even rarely let the harem concubines give birth to princes and princesses.

Now there are only two princes in the palace, that is, the second prince and the third prince, and two princesses.

This kid is very rare in the royal family.

Emperor Qianyuan even treated the second prince and the third prince and the mother concubine behind them, although he would not be much favored, but he would not favor him much, that is, he clearly told the whole world that the next heir he preferred was only the crown prince.

And in his previous life, Emperor Qianyuan has always done this, even if the prince becomes ridiculous, he is still unswerving, and he does not have any thoughts of abolishing the prince.

Although the original owner lost his mother, he also grew up under the wholehearted care of Emperor Qianyuan's father.

The original owner was born handsome, like the queen of the Yuan, he showed his intelligence at a young age, and slowly, he was both civil and military, and he was a decent person.

Whether he was studying in the study room or later when he was older and could receive errands, he did a good job.

Emperor Qianyuan praised the crown prince countless times in the court.

The courtiers were also very satisfied with the crown prince, the next heir.

It can be said that the original owner has no problem in being the prince.

But the prince is a scumbag.

To be honest, in ancient times, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the original owner was the crown prince, and after he registered, it was even more common for him to have three palaces and six courts.

If it's just like this, Zhang Yuanxiao doesn't think that the original owner has anything, at most it's just a flower heart and a romance.

But the original owner is not.

In the 20th year of Qianyuan, the original owner was sixteen years old, and because he had to run errands, the original owner went to Jiangnan.

It was at that time that the original owner met Min Min, a fifteen-year-old female official of the five-rank petty official.

The original owner fell in love with Guan Minmin at first sight, and since then he has regarded Guan Minmin as the white moonlight in his heart.

The two soon exchanged promises for life.

Later, after the original host finished his errand and was about to leave for Beijing, he planned to bring Guan Minmin back and keep her by his side.

But Guan Minmin asked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, did you plan to marry Min Min as your wife and become the crown princess? Or is it just a plan to make a courtier a concubine? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Min Min loves you, but Min Min has had a wish since she was a child, that is, she wants to win the heart of one person, and the white head is not separated, and she is only willing to be a couple with her future husband for the rest of her life."

"His Royal Highness the Prince, can you marry Min Min as the crown princess, and only Min Min will be the only one in the backyard?"

The original owner was stunned.

Can he?

Of course he can't.

Not to mention that he is only a prince now, even if he is now an emperor, in order to maintain the court, it is impossible for him to marry only one person and leave the backyard vacant.

Moreover, he also clearly knew that Huang Ama would not agree.

If Huang Ama knew that he was vacant in the backyard for Guan Minmin, not to mention whether it would shake his position as the crown prince, just say that the existence of Guan Minmin was something that Huang Ama could not tolerate.

Perhaps, Huang Ama will immediately give Min Min to death.

And if his position as the crown prince is gone, how will he protect Min Min in the future?

Therefore, no matter what the reason, he couldn't agree to Guan Minmin's request.

His original plan was to take Guan Min Min to the Prince's Mansion, although as Min Min, he could only be a concubine or a gege, but he would favor her, and when he was capable, maybe sitting on the throne, he would be able to achieve his sole favor for Min Min.

At that time, there were three thousand weak waters, and it was possible to take only one scoop.

But now, it's not possible.

The original owner has true feelings for Guan Minmin, and he is also wholeheartedly planning for Guan Minmin, but Guan Minmin only wants to be a couple for the rest of his life.

It was at that time that Guan Minmin's mother-in-law arranged a family affair for her, that is, to marry the youngest son of Quanzhou Zhizhou.

Speaking of which, the mother-in-law of the official family is not harsh on her concubines, although the treatment is not as good as that of her concubines, but she also wholeheartedly plans for them.

And the youngest son of Quanzhou Zhizhou, in the eyes of the outside world, has an excellent reputation, at the age of sixteen, he has a good demeanor and is clean.

Of course, the reason why my grandmother wanted to set up this family affair for Guan Minmin was also because I heard that the youngest son of Quanzhou Zhizhou, a young man named Zhou Xiuyuan, had read Guan Minmin's poems, and had also met her by chance, and was moved by her, so she invited someone to come to the door to propose marriage, no one knew whether it was true or not, but the Zhou family said so.

Speaking of which, as an official Minmin, he can't be Zhou Xiuyuan's wife, but Zhou Xiuyuan insists on doing so, and Quanzhou Zhizhou and his wife also love their young son, so they can only agree.

After Guan Minmin learned that the Zhou family asked people to come to the door to propose marriage, he said to the original owner: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you can't realize the wishes of the courtiers, the courtiers can only marry someone else, and we will break off our righteousness." ”

The original owner is about to die, he has been the prince for more than ten years, and no one has ever dared to disobey him so much, he is dedicated to Guan Minmin in his heart, but Guan Minmin wants to marry someone else, and he has to break off his kindness.

The original owner was so angry that he immediately put down a sentence and threw his sleeves away.

"Okay, since you're going to marry someone else, let's marry, it's really up to you?"

So, the angry original owner also left Jiangnan.

But in fact, halfway through, the original owner regretted it a little, he really liked Guan Minmin.

He couldn't return, so he asked people to find out about Guan Minmin.

As a result, Guan Minmin had already agreed to the Zhou family, and he was going to get married soon.

The original owner was so angry that he fell ill at that time.

Later, when the illness was cured, the original owner decided to let go of Guan Minmin.

Later, before the draft, I met Shen Xiyao, the concubine of the Marquis of Wu'an, during the Lantern Festival.

Shen Xiyao, who was born in a family of military generals, is not only bright and moving, but also martial arts, although in the Shen family, the parents have a bad relationship, but they do not treat their children badly.

Shen Xiyao was also pampered and grew up, although her parents didn't like her very much, but she was optimistic by nature, lively and cheerful, and very kind.

She loves to laugh, and her whole person looks as warm as the sun.

At that time, the original owner, who was bent on breaking off his heart for Guan Minmin, noticed this girl with a bright smile and a warm sun at the Lantern Festival.

He planned to contact Shen Xiyao, and he planned to use Shen Xiyao to forget about Guan Minmin.

So, the original owner began to contact Shen Xiyao intentionally or unintentionally, and also used the mind of chasing the girl.

This matter was later known to Emperor Qianyuan.

Emperor Qianyuan has been managing the prince's marriage, and now he is overjoyed to learn that the prince is interested in the concubine of Wu'anhou.

Although the status of the concubine of Wu'an Hou is not particularly high, she can barely be the crown princess.

Moreover, Emperor Qianyuan also heard that this girl named Shen Xiyao was an excellent girl, dignified and generous, bright and moving, very suitable for being the crown princess.

Of course, the most important thing is that the prince likes it.

So, Emperor Qianyuan discussed with the Queen Mother and wanted to give the prince and Shen Xiyao a marriage.

The Queen Mother is the biological mother of Emperor Qianyuan and the prince's grandmother, so she naturally wants to marry a good princess for the prince.

However, the Queen Mother was not very satisfied with Shen Xiyao, feeling that her status was low, and the Queen Mother did not like women to practice martial arts, and felt that women should still know poetry and writing, and it was better to know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

However, seeing that Emperor Qianyuan was satisfied with Shen Xiyao as the crown princess, the prince also liked it, and finally the queen mother agreed.

It's just that the Queen Mother pondered that it would be good if this Shen Xiyao could give birth to a son-in-law, but if not, then she might have to intervene to give the prince a side blessing or Gege.

So, before the draft, Emperor Qianyuan revealed that he planned to choose someone among the show girls to marry the prince to be the prince, and this candidate was Shen Xiyao's business.

Emperor Qianyuan asked the original owner if he was willing.

In order to forget Guan Minmin, the original owner naturally expressed his willingness.

So, the marriage between the original owner and Shen Xiyao was given in this way, and soon the wedding was held.

During that time, the original owner and Shen Xiyao lived a life of deep affection.

It's just that after being with Shen Xiyao for a long time, the original owner still can't help but miss Guan Minmin.

Especially before returning to Jiangnan, that is, when the original owner just fell in love with Guan Minmin at first sight, he ordered someone to build Zhenmin Courtyard in the Prince's Mansion, which was planned to enter Guan Minmin's mansion in the future and let her live in it.

It's a pity that Guan Minmin only wants to be a couple for the rest of his life.

The original owner couldn't give a promise for the time being, so Guan Minmin married someone else.

Rao later returned to the capital and met Shen Xiyao, who was as warm as the sun, and the original owner wanted to forget Guan Minmin, but he still couldn't forget it, and even he kept the purse, jade pendant and other small items that Guan Minmin gave him, and he saw things and people from time to time.

He even went to Zhenminyuan and Zhengyuan to plant Guan Minmin's favorite lilies.

Even if he got married later, this Zhenmin Courtyard has always been retained, and the original owner will go in from time to time to miss Guan Minmin.

And Guan Minmin, she regretted it after marrying Zhou Xiuyuan for a while.

She didn't expect that Zhou Xiuyuan's self-cleanliness was just an illusion, in fact, Zhou Xiuyuan had already had someone he liked, that is, the big girl next to him, and later this maid also became a roommate, because he knew that his sweetheart could not become his wife, so Zhou Xiuyuan could only marry someone else, but he loved this big girl the most.

Zhou Xiuyuan's mother, who is Guan Minmin's mother-in-law now, is not a good person to think about, and she has to set rules for Guan Minmin from time to time.

This situation made Guan Minmin feel extremely aggrieved, this was not the life she wanted.

So, she thought of the crown prince Zhang Yuanxiao, and she finally understood how naïve her original idea was, and she regretted it very much.

In fact, on the surface, Guan Minmin is eager to have a couple for the rest of her life, but in her heart, she also longs for power, otherwise, she would not want to be the crown princess.

At that time, she actually wanted to force the prince, in case, if the prince could resist for her, she could become the crown princess.

But in the end, the prince still didn't promise to leave the scared.

And she also married Zhou Xiuyuan in a rage.

Now, she regrets it.

But now that she is married, and the prince is also married, what should she do?

Guan Minmin was still unwilling in the end, so he began to secretly write letters to the prince......
