Chu Siqing didn't expect that people in ancient times also used the trick of running away from home.
But she thought that the young prince was just on a whim to resist the arranged marriage, and he would go home in a few days.
I didn't expect this matter to become a big deal.
Inside Cining Palace.
Princess Shunjun's eyes were swollen like peach pits, and she wiped her tears and said, "Mother, this is just a drunken joke made by the prince, and it makes Xi'er unable to return home now. I feel so bad!"
Queen Mother Pei was speechless for a moment, she had also heard about this.
It was originally a good thing for these two families to get married, but the little prince actually ran away from home in order not to marry Miss Wen's family!
Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Princess Shunjun had no choice but to get straight to the point: "The prince is unwilling to take the initiative to withdraw from this marriage. If you ask me, I can't let the man withdraw. After all, the reputation of the girl's family is at stake. Xi'er is not worthy of Miss Wen's family."
She paused and said expectantly: "Queen Mother, can you please come forward to make the Wen family cancel this marriage?"
Mrs. Wen was from a branch of the Pei family, and she was somewhat related to the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Pei wondered: "If someone renounces the engagement so rashly, wouldn't it mean that the Aijia uses power to oppress others?"
Princess Shunjun had already had a countermeasure. She wiped away her tears and said, "Mother, how about I adopt Miss Wen's daughter as my adopted daughter? In this way, Xi'er and her will be adopted siblings. I will also contribute to her marriage in the future." , just take it as my intention.”
Queen Mother Pei thought for a while, nodded and said: "This method is feasible."
Princess Shunjun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just have to ask my mother to be a lobbyist later."
Queen Mother Pei agreed.
Yongdinghou Mansion.
Mrs. Wen grabbed her husband's ear and said angrily: "How can it be unreasonable? How can it be unreasonable!"
"Ouch……"
Hearing that the master was in pain, he hurriedly said: "Madam, let go quickly, our daughter is still here!"
Wen Minjing said: "Mother, don't blame father. Since Chu Yuxi can do such a thing as running away from home, she is not a good match. Let's just break off the engagement."
Mrs. Wen said angrily: "If you break off the engagement, I don't know what the outside world will say about you."
Master Wen thought: What else can I say? Isn't it just a big tigress giving birth to a little tigress?
My wife has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has developed such good kung fu that she can't even defeat him.
He is the dignified Marquis of Yongding, the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and if he makes a mistake, he still has to kneel on the washboard.
Not only that, she also passed down martial arts to her daughter, so that while other daughters were playing the piano and embroidering, Wen Minjing had been practicing whipping in the yard since she was a child.
Mrs. Wen was annoyed: "It's all my father's fault for talking about this relationship! You too, why didn't you try to persuade me!"
Master Wen said unjustly: "I only found out recently!"
Mrs. Wen thought for a while, then sighed and said, "They say that a strong person is not sweet. The only solution for now is to break off the engagement."
But before the Wen family could cancel the engagement, Queen Mother Pei summoned Mrs. Wen into the palace.
Queen Mother Pei and Mrs. Wen chatted for a while and then mentioned that Princess Shunjun wanted to recognize Wen Minjing as her adopted daughter.
Mrs. Wen naturally understood that recognizing her adopted daughter meant no longer getting married.
Although she was angry at the little prince's rudeness, Mrs. Wen still had a general understanding.
It is inevitable to break off the engagement, you just have to choose the best option for your daughter's reputation.
Now that Shunjun Prince's Palace is willing to give him a step, that would be great.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen agreed: "Empress Dowager, let's do this as the princess said. From now on, Minjing will be the sworn sister of the little prince, and there will naturally be countless marriages in the past."
Queen Mother Pei said: "You are a sensible person. In this case, the Ai family will act as a witness and ask the princess to accept Minjing as her adopted daughter."
…
As soon as the news came out that Princess Shunjun wanted to adopt Wen Minjing, the daughter of Yongding Houfu, as her adopted daughter, the marriage between the two families naturally came to an end.
Everyone thought that the little prince would definitely return home after finding out. Unexpectedly, Chu Yuxi had not returned yet, and there was no news at all.
Now not only Princess Shunjun was anxious, but Prince Shunjun was also so anxious that he ran to the palace and asked Emperor Chu Ming for help.
In the imperial study room.
Prince Shun had two huge dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard. He was obviously worried about his only son.
"Your Majesty, there has been no news from Xi'er for half a month. I'm really afraid that something will happen to him!"
Emperor Ming of Chu said to the eunuch Feng Zhonglin: "Admiral Xuan Jiumen and Jing Zhaoyin came to see me."
He thought for a while and added: "Go to Tianyan Pavilion and bring the national master and the saint here."
Feng Zhonglin should have gone down.
Emperor Ming of Chu comforted Prince Shun again: "I have already ordered them to send more manpower, and they will surely find Yuxi."
Prince Shun was not relieved.
He just went to say hello to Jing Zhaoyin the day before yesterday, and there was no news about Yu Xi at all.
The Admiral of the Nine Gates, Lord Yongding Houwen, had just been to the Yongding Houfu yesterday, and he had no whereabouts.
After a while, everyone came.
Chu Siqing was brought here by the Imperial Master. Today was the day for her to enter Tianyan Pavilion. She did not expect to be summoned by the emperor by such a coincidence.
After the ceremony, Emperor Chu Ming asked: "Wen Yuanyi and Lu Huaiying, I ask you, has there been any news about the little prince after so many days?"
Wen and Lu looked at each other with panic on their faces.
Admiral Jiumen spoke first: "I am incompetent and have never found the whereabouts of the little prince."
Jing Zhaoyin followed closely and said bravely: "I have never found out."
Although he had expected it, Prince Shun was still extremely disappointed.
Emperor Chu Ming was even more furious: "It's been half a month and we still haven't found anything. You are really incompetent people. What use do I have for you!"
After saying that, he casually looked in the direction of the Imperial Master.
Tu Qingchen:......
Haha, you want to hear the saint's voice, right? I know why you called us here!
Chu Siqing understood on the side.
It turns out that the little prince who ran away from home has not returned home yet. Everyone has been looking for him for half a month, but there is no news about him.
Chu Siqing also became curious and couldn't help but ask the system in her mind.
[A Tong, please check, are there any melons from the little prince? 】
System: [Okay. 】
Chu Siqing couldn't help being surprised when she heard the system explain.
【What! It turns out that as soon as the young prince left the prince's palace, he disguised himself as a beggar and infiltrated the beggar's den. No wonder the officers and soldiers couldn't find him! 】
Prince Shun's spirits perked up, and his ears immediately became perked.
He was also present when he offered sacrifices to the sky, and he also understood the strangeness of the saint, but he did not pay much attention to these things all his life.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the person who could help him find news about his son was actually a saint!
Others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the saint's voice.
Finally, we have the whereabouts of the little prince.
However, the little prince, who has always been known as a fairy prince, actually pretended to be a beggar in order not to marry Miss Wen. So how fierce is Miss Wen?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Mr. Wen with strange expressions.
Wen Yuanyi: You ignorant guys! How do you know the benefits of being a fierce wife?
It was related to the safety of the little prince, so everyone listened carefully.
[One day, the little prince saw someone bullying the little beggar in the alley, so he wanted to help, but he didn't expect that it was all a trap. 】
[Alas, although the little prince has a chivalrous heart, he is too weak in martial arts, so he was caught by the patter and thrown into a brothel, and he was forced to work as a waiter? 】
[This Yicui Tower has eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. It is really going to end! 】
