Chapter 231 The cold-blooded prince's scumbag father (3)

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

"Star Wu."

The young man wearing a black suit and riding a tall horse in front of him hurriedly rode the horse to Zhang Yuanxiao's carriage.

In the heavy rain, it is almost impossible to see the man's appearance.

"Crown Prince, what are the instructions?"

"Is there a town ahead?"

"Yes, there is a small town called Bailin."

"Looking at the weather, the rain will probably get heavier and heavier. It's too late today. When I arrived at the town in front, I stopped to look for the inn to rest, and waited for the rain to stop before setting off." Zhang Yuanxiao ordered.

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

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

As expected, as soon as I entered the inn, the rain was a little heavier, mixed with wind, almost hitting towards me, which made people feel ache.

Their group went to Jiangnan without using the prince's ceremonial guard, but dressed up as a caravan.

Even so, the old shopkeeper still saw that their group had an extraordinary identity, especially the handsome and noble man in the head.

However, the shopkeeper did not dare to ask too much, so he quickly arranged a top-notch guest room for them.

"Xingwu, let everyone have a good rest, eat what should be eaten, and wash what should be washed. These days, it has been hard for you to follow the lonely journey."

Xingwu's eyes were slightly hot, and he hurriedly said, "Crown Prince, my subordinates and others are not working hard."

They are the prince's subordinates, so they are naturally obeying the prince. Although it is indeed a bit hard to come along, they also know that the prince is concerned about the disaster in Jiangnan, so they naturally dare not complain. Now they have another word from the prince.

Thank you for your hard work, they feel warmer in their hearts.

"Okay, go down and have a good rest."

He brought food to Zhang Yuanxiao and then to the bathtub and hot water. Xingwu left, but he did not really leave, but was next door to protect Zhang Yuanxiao's safety.

In addition to Xingwu, it is his brother Xingwen.

Xingwen and Xingwu are brothers, and their father is Shaoqing of Dali Temple. They were Zhang Yuanxiao’s companions since childhood, and now they are his personal bodyguard and confidant.

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

It was also fate. Once the little prince sneaked out of the palace to play, and accidentally met Huazi. Although he was smart but still simple, the little prince was almost abducted. It was at that time that he met Xingwen and Xingwu, the twins.

In the end, they helped the little prince and a group of abducted children escape.

It can be said that Xingwen and Xingwu are life-saving to the little prince.

It is precisely because of this that the little prince treats them very well. Later, Emperor Qianyuan made an exception and let the two of them become the companions of the little prince. The three of them grew up together.

Xingwen and Xingwu are both literary and military, and they are also good at assisting the prince.

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

However, in the previous life, the two people who valued love and loyalty to the prince did not have a good result. In the end, they were designed by the original owner and died in the hands of the person they had always been loyal to.

Zhang Yuanxiao couldn't help but want to curse the original owner, no matter how loyal and treacherous, and such a person is not worthy of being the emperor at all.

But he was the only one who was favored by Emperor Qianyuan, so he asked Emperor Qianyuan to give him the throne.

Zhang Yuanxiao did not eat immediately, but took off his clothes and went into the bathtub to soak, while checking the information about the owner of the original mind.

In this world, he came for the Crown Princess Chen Xiyao and their two children, and of course for innocent dead people such as Xingwen and Xingwu.

In this world, the original owner is a big scumbag whose eyes and heart are confused by that.

The original owner was born to Emperor Qianyuan and Empress Yuan, who died of dying from childbirth. Emperor Qianyuan loved the original owner, the legitimate son, and even directly named him the crown prince when he was one year old.

The original owner was personally brought up by Emperor Qianyuan, and no matter what the people he cared for or the things he used, he was very good at everything.

Emperor Qianyuan also supported the original owner's family power, in order to consolidate the position of the prince in the future, and to prepare for the original owner's confidant and confidant.

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

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

This child is very rare in the royal family.

Although Emperor Qianyuan even did not treat the second prince, the third prince and the mother behind them, he would not favor them much. He just told Quantian clearly that the next heir he wanted was the crown prince.

In his previous life, Emperor Qianyuan kept doing this. Even though the prince became absurd later, he was still unswerving and had no idea of ​​deposing the prince.

Although the original owner lost his mother, he also grew up under the whole heart of Emperor Qianyuan, the father.

The original owner was handsome and looked very similar to the Yuan Dynasty. He showed his intelligence at a young age. Gradually, he was both civil and military, and was a kind of upright person.

Whether he was studying in Shangshufang or when he became older, he could get errands, he did a good job.

Emperor Qianyuan praised the prince in the court countless times.

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

It can be said that the original owner had no problem with being the prince.

But the prince is a scumbag.

To be honest, in ancient times, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the original owner was the prince. After he registered, the three palaces and six courtyards were even more common.

If it were just like this, Zhang Yuanxiao wouldn't think the original owner had anything, at most he was just a flirtatious and romantic one.

But the original owner was not.

In the 20th year of Qianyuan, the original owner was sixteen years old. Because he had to do an errand, the original owner went to Jiangnan.

It was at that time that the original owner met Guan Minmin, a 15-year-old young official and concubine.

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

The two soon promised each other for life.

Later, after the original sponsor finished his errand and wanted to leave to return to Beijing, he planned to take Guan Minmin back and keep her by his side.

But Guan Minmin asked a question.

"Your Highness, do you take Minmin back to the Prince's Mansion? Are you planning to marry Minmin as your wife and as your princess? Or are you just planning to let your daughter be a concubine?"

"Your Highness, Minmin loves you, but Minmin has a wish since she was a child, that is, she wants to win the hearts of one person, never leave each other forever, and only wants to have a couple with her future husband for a lifetime."

"Your Highness, can you marry Minmin as the crown princess? From now on, Minmin is the only one in the backyard?"

The original owner was stunned.

Can he?

Of course he can't.

Not to mention that he is just the crown prince now, even if he is the emperor now, in order to maintain the court, he would not be able to marry only one person and leave the backyard vacant.

Moreover, he knew clearly that Emperor Ama would not agree.

If Emperor Ama knew that he had vacant backyard for Guan Minmin, he would not say whether he would shake his position as the prince, but the existence of Guan Minmin was something that Emperor Ama could not tolerate.

Maybe Emperor Ama will immediately kill Minmin.

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

Therefore, no matter what reason, he could not agree to Guan Minmin's request.

His original plan was to take Guan Minmin to the Prince's Mansion. Although he could only be a concubine or princess as Minmin, he would prefer her. When he had the ability, he might as well sit on the throne.

This will achieve the unique favor of Minmin.

At that time, there were only three thousand weak waters, and only one scoop was taken, which might be possible.

But now, it is impossible.

The original owner had real feelings for Guan Minmin and was also devoted to planning for Guan Minmin, but Guan Minmin only wanted to have a pair of people for a lifetime.

It was at that time that Guan Minmin's legitimate mother arranged a marriage for her, which was to marry the youngest son of Quanzhou magistrate.

Speaking of which, the official family's legitimate mother is not harsh on the illegitimate son and daughter. Although the treatment is not as good as that of the legitimate son and daughter, she is also dedicated to the plan for them.

The youngest son of Quanzhou magistrate, in the eyes of the outside world, has a very good reputation. He is sixteen years old and elegant and clean.

Of course, the reason why my mother wanted to make this marriage for Guan Minmin was because she heard that the youngest son of Quanzhou magistrate, a young man named Zhou Xiuyuan, had read Guan Minmin's poems and essays, and she had also met her by chance.

I was moved, so I asked someone to come to propose marriage. No one knew whether it was true or not, but that was what the Zhou family said.

Speaking of which, as Guan Minmin, he could not be Zhou Xiuyuan's wife, but Zhou Xiuyuan insisted on doing this, and Quanzhou magistrate and wife also favored their youngest son, so they could only agree.

After learning that the Zhou family had someone come to propose marriage, Guan Minmin said to the original owner: "Your Highness, if you cannot fulfill your wishes, your daughter will have to marry someone else. We will be able to break the grace and righteousness."

The original owner was almost angry. He had been the prince for more than ten years, and no one dared to disobey him so much. He was determined to take Guan Minmin to heart, but Guan Minmin wanted to marry someone else and even break his grace with him.

The original owner was extremely angry and immediately put down his words and shook his sleeves and left.

"Okay, since you want to marry someone else, then marry me. You really have to be alone?"

So the angry original owner also left Jiangnan.
