The next day, Kangxi summoned Xiang Yan and Ruidong and said, "I want to marry Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong, Wu Sangui's only son, and marry him. You two will escort the princess to Yunnan and marry her to Wu Yingxiong." The two said: "Yes!" Kangxi added: "This time Ruidong is the chief envoy for conferring marriages, and Xiang Yan is the deputy envoy. Xiangyan has no rank, so it is not appropriate to directly serve as the deputy envoy for conferring marriages, so I will make you the leader of the sixth rank. Eunuch!" Xiang Yan felt no joy in his heart, but still said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Kangxi said: "When you return from Yunnan, try to bring Chen Yuanyuan back to the palace. This matter must be carried out secretly and not allowed to be known to the fourth person." Xiang Yan was overjoyed, and his heart finally returned to his belly, just like Ruidong. "Yes!" Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Go down and get ready and leave tomorrow!" The two kowtowed and said goodbye.
After Xiang Yan left the study, he immediately left the palace to find Lu Gaoxuan and Fat Tou Tuo. As he was about to reach the alley, someone suddenly tapped Xiang Yan on the right shoulder from behind. Xiang Yan turned around and saw that it was Lu Gaoxuan. Xiang Yan was overjoyed and was about to speak when Lu Gaoxuan said first, "Eunuch Xiang, you came just in time. We have moved, and you came just when I was about to tell you the new address."
Xiang Yan was stunned and said: "You have only lived here for a day, why are you moving?" Lu Gaoxuan said: "We are afraid that we are being targeted. Yesterday, some gangsters were looking for trouble, and Fat Toutuo fought with them. Fight. Those gangsters are very skilled in martial arts. It is impossible for them to become gangsters with such skills. Fat Toutuo and I both felt that those gangsters were sent by someone to test us. For the sake of safety, we moved." After Lu Gaoxuan said that, He stared at Xiang Yanzhi with his eyes.
Xiang Yan was startled, knowing that those gangsters must be Duolong's imperial guards, so he hurriedly asked: "Who sent them?" Lu Gaoxuan said: "I don't know. I specially stayed here today. The purpose is to tell you our new address, and the second is to see if anyone is watching us. But I looked at this for a long time, everything is normal, no one is watching us. Could it be that we are overreacting? Those people yesterday really Just a gangster?"
Xiang Yan said: "Don't worry about those gangsters, just follow their origins. The emperor decided to marry Princess Jianning to Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui, and let Ruidong, the deputy chief of the imperial guard, and I be the marriage envoys, and let us Bring Chen Yuanyuan back when you come back. Just follow us to Yunnan and look for an opportunity to bring Chen Yuanyuan back to the island."
Lu Gao I'm not in a hurry, it's the Emperor who is!" Lu Gaoxuan also smiled. Xiang Yan said again: "Anyway, you are going to Yunnan tomorrow, so what if those gangsters have some conspiracy?" Lu Gaoxuan nodded and said, "Yeah, that makes sense."
Xiang Yan said: "How about you all dress up as Ouchi guards and go to Yunnan with us?" Lu Gaoxuan laughed and said: "Nonsense, how can it be so easy to impersonate Ouchi guards? Besides, catching Chen Yuanyuan is not an easy task. A large group of you are definitely not moving very fast, so it would be better for Fat Tou Tuo and I to rush to Yunnan first and explore Chen Yuanyuan's situation first."
Xiang Yan said: "It's just that you are not with me. After I capture Chen Yuanyuan, how can I hand her over to you and take her back to Shenlong Island?" Lu Gaoxuan said with a smile: "Why are you panic? It's thousands of miles from Yunnan to the capital, how can you do that?" Can you return to the capital so soon? We will be contacting you on your way back to the capital and trying to find a way to bring Chen Yuanyuan back to Shenlong Island." Xiang Yan said, "That's fine."
Not long after Xiang Yan returned to the palace, an eunuch issued an imperial edict and appointed Xiang Yan as the deputy envoy for marriage. Together with the chief envoy Ruidong, he escorted Princess Jianning to Yunnan to marry the eldest son of Prince Pingxi, Wu Yingxiong. Wu Yingxiong was granted the third-class title of Jingqi Hani Fan, and was granted the title of Shaobao and Taibao of the Crown Prince. Xiang Yan took money to reward the eunuch, and then went to see Kangxi to express his gratitude.
The next day, Ruidong and Xiang Yan led the imperial guards to bid farewell to Kangxi and the Queen Mother, and escorted Princess Jianning to Yunnan. The entire journey was silent. At dusk, the local government welcomed the group to rest and stay in the garden of the local wealthy gentleman's house. After the feast, Princess Jianning summoned Xiang Yan for a chat.
Xiang Yan came to Princess Jianning's residence and found that Princess Jianning was the only one in the house. Xiang Yan hesitated and didn't dare to enter the house. Princess Jianning shouted in the room: "Damn it, Xiao Xiangzi, what are you looking at at the door? Why don't you come in quickly." Xiang Yan swallowed his anger, stepped forward to say hello, and said: "My servant, Xiao Xiangzi, kowtow to the princess, and the princess is blessed with gold... …”
Princess Jianning suddenly flew up and hit Xiang Yan on the chin. This kick came without any warning in advance. Xiang Yan bent one leg again and bowed at her feet, but how could he avoid it? Before Xiang Yan could finish his sentence, he was suddenly kicked hard on the chin. He closed his jaw and immediately bit his tongue. The pain only made him utter "ah" and screamed. His mouth was open and blood flowed out. Mouthful.
Princess Jianning scolded: "You damn slave, it was all your idea that the emperor brother married me to Yunnan." Xiang Yan said hurriedly: "It's unfair, princess, this is the emperor's own holy judgment. I can't do it with you." It doesn't matter." Princess Jianning said angrily: "You're still here. The Emperor's brother has always loved me, and now no matter how much I cry in front of him, he refuses to change his mind. He...he is my biological brother!" As he spoke, he covered his face and started crying.
