After rebirth, she was forced into marriage by the sickly prince

"What? What did you say?"

Did not go to the banquet, Xiao Qiyu took the two brothers and went back to the inn directly, and told about Mu Yunjiang being the empress dowager Li Qingcheng.

Xiao Qihe's eyes widened when he heard this.

Xiao Qirui stammered: "Ah? The Empress Dowager is our Crown Princess? It's over, third brother, you are the Crown Prince of Great Liang, so you definitely can't come here to be a son-in-law. What should we do?"

Xiao Qiyu was drinking tea, and kept silent, because right now, he really had no good way to solve such a huge conflict.

"So, this time, Xiao Rui and I are useless. We can only replace you in the contest to recruit relatives."

Xiao Qihe said so.

She is the crown prince's favorite person, the future queen of Great Liang. These courtiers, how dare they participate in this kind of competition to recruit relatives.

It's embarrassing to lose.

If he wins, who dares to become the concubine's son-in-law? Isn't that courting death?
But Xiao Qirui shouted: "But the third brother is the crown prince, how do you want to participate? Take a pseudonym to participate, and even if the third brother wins the first place later, you can't stay as a son-in-law; if you participate in the competition under the name of the prince, I will I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will be assassinated by Dongyue and Northern Jin, the point is, even if I win, the third brother will not be able to marry someone back to be a princess...they only recruit son-in-law."

Xiao Qihe felt a headache when he thought about it, so he asked instead: "Third son, you have already seen the princess, what does she mean? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Qiyu sighed lightly and said nothing.

These two are shrewd people, and they immediately understood that their unattainable princes had been turned away——

Originally, for a noble and extraordinary prince like him, if any woman could marry him, it would be a matter of the ancestors, but it was not the same thing when it happened to the empress dowager. Why come to be part of a man's harem?

"Go back, I need to think about it quietly..."

He sent them away, and stared at the dazzlingly bright candle alone in a daze.

Right now, his situation is really too difficult. After searching for so many years, he really did not expect such a result in the end.

It is as difficult as heaven to want to marry her now.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a low shout from outside, it was Asuo calling: "Who is sneaking around there, come out."

Xiao Qiyu instinctively ran out to look. In the quiet night, Asuo stood proudly in the courtyard, looking ahead.

A young girl came in through the arched door, she was the girl who asked Xiao Qiyu about Xiao Jinzi's whereabouts before, she looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was pretty.

"Are you... the little girl who took care of Xiao Jinzi?"

Xiao Qiyu was curious, Xiao Jinzi had already stayed in the East Palace, why did this little girl come here again?

"Correct."

Zhong Ling took two steps forward, staring at the man in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Are you here to find me?"

Xiao Qiyu guessed so.

"Correct."

"can I help you?"

"It's nothing. I heard what you said to my elder sister A-Jiang just now in the East Palace." She said softly, "So, you are Xiao Qiyu, Prince of Great Liang, right?"

This little girl is called "A-Jiang" as her elder sister, it seems that their relationship is very close.

"Correct."

"But you look different than I know," she cried.

"Do you know what I look like?"

"I know. My master painted a portrait of you."

"Who is your master?"

"Jiang Tian. My brother and I are both sister Ajiang's fellow apprentices."

It turned out to be Ajaan's younger brother and younger sister.

"You came here, do you want to tell me something?"

Once she figured out her identity, then he had to figure out why she came.
