Princess Zhengyang's face changed slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xu Qingmo was not worried that Princess Zhengyang would be angry. He just smiled and said, "Everyone knows that Princess Zhaoyang wanted to marry my eldest brother before she got married, and she had to let my eldest brother go to see her get married. Concubine Xian was also in front of the Empress, because of this matter, there were many quarrels, but the final outcome was that you, sister-in-law, got engaged to my eldest brother, and Princess Zhaoyang got married to Northern Xinjiang. My sister-in-law was very concerned about this matter. You must feel guilty!"
Princess Zhengyang's hands on her knees were clenched into fists, but she still said nothing.
"If I were my sister-in-law, I would inevitably feel guilty about Princess Zhaoyang. My sister-in-law must feel that it was you who borrowed your identity as the legitimate princess and robbed Princess Zhaoyang of her marriage. This caused Princess Zhaoyang's misfortune. Come and marry Northern Xinjiang for your sister-in-law!" Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang and said word by word.
Princess Zhengyang lowered her head and remained silent.
Xu Qingmo didn't say anything, but drank the tea in his hand, one sip at a time.
In the end, Princess Zhengyang couldn't bear the grievance in her heart and whispered: "Actually, you feel the same way, right? Do you think I stole Zhaoyang's good marriage by virtue of my status as a legitimate princess?"
Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang, who was already red-eyed, and then nodded: "Isn't this a fact?"
Princess Zhengyang suddenly raised her head, and then looked at Xu Qingmo with a look of disbelief on her face: "Mo Mo..."
"You are right. Originally, Princess Zhaoyang fell in love with my eldest brother. Concubine Shu begged her several times in front of the Empress, just to get the Empress to lead the way for Princess Zhaoyang and my eldest brother. But she didn't expect that in the end, you She became my sister-in-law." Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang and said word by word.
"But, but...could it be that if my mother pulls the strings, your eldest brother will definitely agree?" Princess Zhengyang's eyes turned red, she gritted her teeth, and was about to cry.
"That's not right. What you call robbed her of her marriage is just what you think. You think that my eldest brother will definitely agree to marry her, so you think that you robbed her of her marriage. But the fact is that my eldest brother is also , neither my father will marry Princess Zhaoyang, even if His Majesty grants marriage!" Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang and said word by word.
"Why?"
"The former queen died young. Before the current queen entered the palace, His Royal Highness the Prince was raised by Concubine Xian. It was for this reason that the Prince was close to Princess Zhaoyang, and Concubine Shu wanted Princess Zhaoyang so much. Marrying my eldest brother is also for this reason!" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, poured a glass of water, and placed it in front of Princess Zhengyang, "Concubine Shu does not have a prince under her knees, so Concubine Shu's family fully supports the prince, and the prince's appearance There are some inexplicable disputes between my family and my family, and my father will not let my eldest brother marry Princess Zhaoyang!"
"Ah... Then, why..."
"Why did I say what I just said, right?" Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang and said softly.
Princess Zhengyang nodded, looking aggrieved.
Xu Qingmo laughed: "Because sister-in-law, you think so? If I don't follow your ideas, how can you be willing to tell me the truth? Sister-in-law doesn't want my eldest brother to go to Northern Xinjiang. In addition to worrying about their For safety reasons, I don’t want my eldest brother to come into contact with Princess Zhaoyang!”
Although this thought was very unspeakable, Princess Zhengyang nodded this time: "Zhaoyang, like Concubine Shu, has a very charming face. I am very worried about your eldest brother meeting her in Northern Xinjiang. , she originally had other thoughts about your eldest brother, I...I know, my thoughts are very petty, but I can't control it..."
"Then don't control it!" Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang and raised his eyebrows slightly, "There's nothing to be petty about this. This can only show that my sister-in-law's thoughts are all on my eldest brother, and she is jealous because she likes him so much. Ah, it’s nothing! Our family comes from a family of military commanders. My sister-in-law is taking a risk by marrying my eldest brother. After all, military commanders have always lived a rough and tumble life with their heads in their belts. Is it possible that my sister-in-law is frightened? Can't you let your sister-in-law lose her temper?"
Princess Zhengyang originally thought that Xu Qingmo would talk to her about some great truths, but she didn't expect that Xu Qingmo, who had always been like a little adult, said that she should lose her temper.
"My father told me in the early years that it was difficult to be the wife of a military commander like them. In the early years, my father was always away from home. Apart from the monthly salary that was delivered to my mother on time, there was nothing else. Inside and outside, my mother is the only one who works hard, and there is no help." Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang, "Will my sister-in-law give up because of this matter?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already married to your eldest brother, how can I say that I have to give up on the marriage?" Princess Zhengyang was amused, "Mo Mo, don't you think I'm stingy at all? No. She doesn't have the air of a proper lady at all, and she doesn't have the air of a royal at all, so why would she be unhappy because of this little thing!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang for a long time, and then said: "Sister-in-law, we are also human beings. Human beings will have emotions and sadness. No one wants their family members to go to the battlefield, even if they are relatives of the emperor, our first identity She is a human being, then a princess, and then the wife of a general! To the outside world, we have to say righteously that the world is the most important thing, but in our hearts we are still very ordinary women. We just have to put the world as the most important thing because of our status."
Princess Zhengyang looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and finally she covered her mouth and cried softly.
Others might not understand why Princess Zhengyang would cry over such a small thing, but Xu Qingmo understood that her father had raised her as a boy since she was a child. To put it nicely, it was to protect her. Her own abilities, but in fact she knew very clearly that she was born in the Xu family, and even if she was a daughter, she had to be prepared to sacrifice her life for the country at any time.
There is no way, this is the responsibility they have been given in their mother's womb, but not everyone is so upright, tall and upright. In private, they can also be ordinary girls who are selfish, incompetent, scared, and cry. When facing real ordinary people, they will become the tall guy who holds up the sky when it falls, the tall guy!
Princess Zhengyang is a legitimate princess. She has been given so many responsibilities from the moment she was born that many people have forgotten that she is also a little girl who is not yet twenty years old.
