The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 184 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (49)

After their marriage, the Fifth Princess Li Handan and Chu Yuxuan mostly lived in the Princess's Mansion, but they would often go to the palace to visit Emperor Zhaohui, and occasionally stay at the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

Lady Anguogong had always known that her second son was destined to be a princess consort, so she had been mentally prepared for such a change. However, she became increasingly worried about the marriage of her eldest son, Chu Yuhe.

Seeing that Chu Yuhe is already 21 years old, people of his age have basically married, but he is not in a hurry at all.

At this time, the Queen went out to arrange a marriage for Chu Yuhe. The girl was a noble lady from her mother's family, but she had been raised in another place before, so she was not well-known in the capital.

Chu Yuhe originally refused without a second thought, but a few days later, he regretted it and agreed to see it. Fortunately, Lady Anguogong did not refuse outright due to the Queen's face, which gave him room for maneuver.

The place for the meeting was set at the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Third Princess Li Danruo. Of course, Li Danruo not only invited people from the Anguo Mansion, but also many other noble families with young men and girls of marriageable age to attend the flower-viewing banquet together.

"How about it, Brother Yuhe, are you satisfied with the woman I arranged for you?" Li Danruo and Chu Yuhe sat together in a room drinking tea.

In Chu Yuhe's arms was Li Danruo's daughter, Xu Mingyao, who was less than two years old.

He fed the girl in his arms a bite of dessert and then replied, "What on earth are you planning?"

"Brother Yuhe, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you are reluctant to marry a wife, people will find out sooner or later." Li Danruo took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Xue Qi is so good!

Since she is the daughter of the Xue family and has no parents or brothers, no one will help her no matter what she wants to do in the future."

"So, you want me to marry her this afternoon?" Chu Yuhe teased his daughter in his arms, "As a woman, you are still cruel for dragging innocent people into this."

Li Danruo's eyes flashed with cruelty, and then a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Where do so many innocent people come from in this world? You and I are both chess pieces in this game, and we are all living a life that is not going as we wish.

Besides, if she doesn't marry you, she won't have any good future. The Xue family is losing power over time, and who knows when she will be sold for marriage."

This matchmaking seemed to be very successful, so Chu Yuhe and Xue Qi's marriage was quickly settled.

The wife of Duke Anguo was somewhat dissatisfied with Xue Qi's identity. After all, she was from the Queen's mother's family, and their Duke Anguo Mansion was an open royalist party. Such a marriage would inevitably lead to some bad associations.

In addition, in the past two years, Chu Yuhe has been committed to persuading the emperor to let the second prince return to the palace, so the intention behind this engagement becomes even more obvious.

Half a year after her marriage, the fifth princess Li Handan was diagnosed to be three months pregnant. Emperor Zhaohui happily issued a general amnesty, saying that he was praying for his daughter's child.

Even the second prince who was assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum was recalled by imperial decree. Coupled with the upcoming wedding of the Anguo Mansion and the Xue family, almost everyone believed that the second prince would definitely be reused.

But the more this happened, the more cautious the Second Prince became in his words and actions.

Comparing the two, there is a huge difference between the eldest prince and the second prince.

After returning to the capital, the second prince even planned to go to Yongjing City to visit the pregnant Fifth Princess Li Handan. Because he could not leave the capital without permission, he specifically asked his father, Emperor Zhaohui, for permission on this matter.

Emperor Zhaohui certainly wanted to see his children living in harmony, so he agreed to his request.

Wang Fuhai was worried about the second prince's trip, but Emperor Zhaohui didn't care at all.

Because in his opinion, Li Handan is a princess who holds military power, and the Second Prince is a prince who has just been pardoned. He has no one in the previous dynasty and no power in the army. What threat can they pose to his Huanniang!

Wang Fuhai: This filter is really thick. Is he worried about the fifth princess? Is he afraid that the second prince will never come back?

Over the years, Wang Fuhai had been in frequent contact with the secret guards around the Fifth Princess, so he knew a little about her situation. He originally wanted to tell Emperor Zhaohui, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to keep it secret.

There are several reasons: first, he has no evidence, after all, many things are just his guesses;

Second, even if he came out, Emperor Zhaohui might not believe it;

Third, Emperor Zhaohui had already made a decision on the throne, and even if he spoke out, it would not change the situation, so it would be better to leave it as it is! The five princesses would not harm Emperor Zhaohui.

Therefore, the fifth princess Li Handan has always been the cutest and most innocent white lotus in Emperor Zhaohui's heart. As for whether her core has been tainted with black, it is impossible to tell.
