Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xiang continued: "Princess Yaoxiang has a noble status, and everyone in the entire capital knows it, but why has she never been able to get married? Is it really because she doesn't want to get married?"

This is impossible, whether you want to or not is one thing, but as a member of the royal family, it is impossible not to marry as you please.

"The reason is that Princess Yaoxiang's husband's family originally wanted her to marry and be the widow of the eldest grandson of the Du family. Unfortunately, Princess Yaoxiang is not an ordinary person with no background. How could the Ninth Prince agree?"

"Therefore, no one dares to propose marriage to Princess Yaoxiang. Those with a worthy family background are unwilling to get involved in the fight between the Du family and the Nine Princes' Mansion, while those with inferior family backgrounds cannot even enter the Nine Princes' Mansion. "

Lu Jiu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and told what happened last night in a few words.

"I was taken to a hot spring last night. Later, Princess Yaoxiang came. She wanted a child to become the future owner of the Nine Princes' Palace."

Xiao Chenyu hurriedly asked: "What happened next?"

Qin Xiang glared at him, Xiao Chenyu touched his nose and shrank back, not daring to speak anymore, but his eyes were still shining brightly at Lu Jiu.

"Of course I have nothing to do with her." Lu Jiu said calmly, but it was very difficult for him to refuse last night.

Because the wine he drank in the hot spring pool was actually an aphrodisiac. If it weren't for his identity as Princess Yaoxiang, Lu Jiu might have really spent the night as a groom.

"Even though I was groggy at the time, I still knew what Princess Yaoxiang meant by having a child."

Not to mention that the Ninth Prince's Mansion still supports two young masters. These two are not unknown people. They are both descendants of the royal family. However, their families have long been marginalized by the royal family. Being able to enter the Nine Princes' Mansion, whether it is the two of them or the family members, is a great blessing. No matter what, they must seize the opportunity with all their might.

Now that Princess Yaoxiang has given birth to a child, it is conceivable that first of all, these two people and the rest of the family will be turned upside down.

Secondly, how will the Du family explain? In order to win over the Nine Princes, they had always treated Princess Yaoxiang as their daughter-in-law, even though they were still short of getting married. But the old man of the Du family always calls the Ninth Prince his in-laws outside.

How many people are staring at Princess Yaoxiang, but in fact, they are all staring at the wealth of the Nine Princes' Palace. Who can say for sure who will receive this unprecedented wealth and power?

But no matter who it fell on, it shouldn't be Lu Jiu.

"I'm afraid, when the time comes, the first person to kill you may be Princess Yaoxiang." Qin Xiang was not alarmist, but expressed her true worries.

Lu Jiu was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart. That's why he desperately resisted the strong needs of his body when his mind was confused and he was addicted to love drugs.

He moved the hand in his sleeve, feeling a sharp pain in his wrist.

Last night, in order to force away Yao Xiang and stay awake, he did a stupid thing. He broke the wine bottle and cut his wrist with a sharp piece of porcelain. The blood dripped into the pool drop by drop, making a crisp sound.

Princess Yaoxiang was frightened and froze on the spot.

At the beginning, her grandfather told her that her marriage was hopeless and she would probably die alone. She was also very painful.

Later, her grandfather gave this villa to her and told her that if she was lonely, she could bring someone here to play and stay there for a day or two to get some fresh air and relax her mood.

At that time, she didn't know what her grandfather meant. It was only after Aunt Hong whispered it that she realized that she could bring a man here to spend the night.

In the past few years, the affairs of Qifeng Villa have never been leaked. Of course, Princess Yaoxiang is also very cautious in selecting people. In addition to having a high family background, they also need to be handsome and have a gentle temper.

However, most of these men can only satisfy Princess Yaoxiang at her whim.

That night, at the gate of the city, she saw the hood suddenly fall off, and snowflakes fell on Lu Jiu's eyelashes. He shook his head and tried to blow the snowflakes off, which struck Princess Yaoxiang and never touched her. Passing heartstrings.

After she entered the city, she still couldn't suppress the strange feeling in her heart. She took the carriage back and waited at the city gate for a long time. She felt that she was very outrageous. But no matter how outrageous things happened, what did she care about?

When she heard that Lu Jiu was going to offer incense, she took the initiative to find someone to contact Lu Jiu, just to meet him.

When she found out that Lu Jiu was married, she felt secretly resentful.

In the main hall of Qifeng Mountain, Princess Yaoxiang sat quietly. The empty main hall lit the earth dragon and burned incense.

It was warm as spring and fragrant, but Princess Yaoxiang's heart was as cold as the ice and snow outside the window.

"After all, I don't have that fate."

The man she fell in love with for the first time worked hard for him, but in the end, he would rather die than touch her.

He is a man who sleeps in a brothel every day. Is he not as good as those prostitutes?

Aunt Hong was thinking about this in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. Princess Yaoxiang also lingers in her mind.

"Let's go back. I want to go into the palace to see the Queen Mother. No matter what, don't delay the matter of Lu Jiu and Qin Xiang."

Aunt Hong went up to help Princess Yaoxiang: "Lu Jiu is such a ignorant person. It's his good fortune that the Princess actually helps you a lot."

Princess Yaoxiang said: "Lu Jiu is a very good person. Qin Xiang."

"What's up with her?"

Princess Yaoxiang pondered for a moment, unable to describe her inner feelings: "I feel an inexplicable closeness to her, as if we should be more intimate."

Aunt Hong was stunned. Although Princess Yaoxiang always relied on intuition when making friends, she would make friends with people she liked. If she didn't like them, she would do it perfunctorily no matter how high her status was.

Aunt Hong thought about Qin Xiang carefully and couldn't recall what was outstanding about her.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I also thought that maybe it was this that won Princess Yaoxiang's favor.

"My servant is not surprised at all, she just looks prettier. Speaking of which, her appearance is a bit flattering. I think her lips are somewhat similar to the princess's."

Princess Yaoxiang's lips are very beautiful. The upper lip is thin, the middle lip is as round as half a pearl, and the lower lip has an obvious lip line, which is plump and rosy. It is the kind of lips that attract people's imagination even without speaking.

"Oh? I didn't notice it before. Are they really similar?" Generally speaking, if the eyebrows, eyes, and noses are similar, it's easy for people to spot them, but lips are not so easy to spot.

In fact, this is also because Yao Xiang has a special lip shape, which is very similar to her grandfather, and it is also because Aunt Hong has taken care of her every day and is too familiar with her.

Aunt Hong was not sure what Princess Yaoxiang meant by her rhetorical question. She thought about it and said, "It's not that they are particularly similar. Compared to Princess Yaoxiang, she is still much inferior."

As for the three people on the carriage, after a brief silence, Qin Xiang and Lu Jiu discussed.

"As soon as the shop opens, you return to Dancheng. I won't leave the capital yet. I'll help you keep an eye on Princess Yaoxiang's movements. You'll be responsible for all our affairs in Dancheng."

Xiao Chenyu also warned: "When you go back, you must keep a low profile and don't mention Princess Yaoxiang to anyone. Talking too much will cause trouble!"
