The assassin's princess is actually my aunt

Chapter 107 Qi Tianchen's Helplessness

Yue'er didn't understand why the princess was unhappy and secretly glanced at A Xiu.

Ah Xiu didn't quite understand either, because in their opinion, Princess Pingyang marrying Prince Yu as his principal wife was considered a match made in heaven.

But Ah Xiu could also tell that the princess's last sentence was about her dissatisfaction with the father and brother of Pingyang County Princess?

"Princess Mingnuo, this is actually not Brother Tianchen's fault..."

A clear male voice interrupted the discussion between Leng Xinmo and the other two.

The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Jingxuan and Qi Tianchen walking towards their corner together.

"Commander Gu..."

"Prince Qi"

A thin layer of red suddenly appeared on Ah Xiu and Yue Er's faces.

After all, people like them are equivalent to gossiping about others behind their backs, and they are caught red-handed by the real person behind the scenes. It is hard not to feel embarrassed.

Both of them blushed and lowered their heads.

Fortunately, neither Gu Jingxuan nor Qi Tianchen are petty people.

No, I wouldn’t bother with two maids.

The two nodded to Yue'er and A Xiu, then turned their gaze to Leng Xinmo.

Some were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig three feet into the ground to hide. Others were extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Leng Xinmo's expression remained normal, but his gaze towards the two of them was a little colder than last time.

Seeing Ah Xiu and Yue Er's reactions, he didn't blame them and said, "You two go wait for me over there."

Upon hearing the voice of their own princess, Ah Xiu and Yue Er were immediately delighted.

As if he had been pardoned, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Princess."

However, the two did not go far, but sat down at another table not far away.

Leng Xinmo's eyes were filled with frost and his expression was distant. Qi Tianchen also looked a little solemn, which was rare for him.

Neither of them spoke, and Gu Jingxuan's gaze moved between their faces twice.

Finally, he spoke up, "Princess Mingnuo must have received the invitation for the wedding of Prince Yu and Princess Pingyang."

Leng Xinmo raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Hmm? I just heard about this from the maid."

Leng Xinmo looked at Qi Tianchen and said, "I haven't congratulated Prince Qi yet."

A hint of helplessness and pain flashed in Qi Tianchen's eyes.

Princess Mingnuo's tone was full of sarcasm, like a sharp knife stabbing into Qi Tianchen's heart.

Because Leng Xinmo was more of an outsider, she could see at a glance the entanglements and checks and balances behind this marriage.

And her words were more like a slap in the face of her brother.

See, even I, a stranger, can see that this is not a match made in heaven.

And you, as a brother, could actually allow your own sister to become a victim of multiple checks and balances!

But Qi Tianchen was powerless to refute, because he did exactly as Princess Mingnuo said.

He was unable to protect his own sister.

Qi Tianchen forced a smile on his face and said to Leng Xinmo: "Thank you, Princess."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Jingxuan again and said, "Brother Jingxuan, Princess, I have something else to do, so I will go ahead."

After saying that, he nodded at the two of them, then turned and left.

Gu Jingxuan naturally understood the pain and self-blame in his friend's heart.

He understood Brother Tianchen just as Brother Tianchen understood him.

Both of them have a biological sister.

If it were him, he would rather Xuanxuan marry an ordinary man than let her get involved in the struggle for imperial power.

You know, throughout history, the most cruel and tragic thing in the royal family is the struggle for the throne.

He believed that Brother Tianchen felt the same way.

only…

"The marriage between Prince Yu and Princess Pingyang was personally granted by His Majesty." Gu Jingxuan said softly.

This is not surprising, although the palace banquet on the day of Shangsi Festival was to enthrone a spiritual concubine.

But there was also the intention of finding concubines for several princes.

Although it was interrupted by Wei Linlang's loss of control in the end, it was already coming to an end.

Those who should have plans have almost made their plans.

Even if the marriage was not requested on the spot, I think there would be arrangements afterwards.

Especially Prince Yu Qian Wuye, Prince Rui Qian Wuyu, and...

Leng Xinmo suddenly thought of Qian Wushang in his mind. He thought that it was inevitable that he would be granted the title of Prince Sheng’s principal wife.

Such is the fate of the children of the royal family.

This was not only the fate of the royal children, but also that of the noble ladies of every household.

Originally, the one Zhou Lanfei had her eyes on was not Qi Siyuan, but Gu Xuanxuan.

Or maybe, Concubine Zhou Lan had her eyes on the Duke of Fuguo Mansion behind Gu Xuanxuan and Gu Jingxuan.

But both Emperor Qianyao and Queen Meng, surprisingly, reached a consensus on such a matter.

Therefore, after many parties' game, it finally happened by accident.

Qi Siyuan, the legitimate daughter of Prince Qi, was betrothed to the equally depressed Prince Yu, Qian Wuye.

"So Qi Tianchen happily accepted it?" Leng Xinmo asked.

If it were someone else, they would certainly say: That's natural, the emperor has granted the marriage, there is no room for doubt.

But he didn't find it strange that Princess Mingnuo asked this question.

Gu Jingxuan sighed: "No, Brother Tianchen is even willing to use all the properties under the name of the Prince's Mansion in exchange for His Majesty to take back his order.

But Prince Qi just wouldn't agree with Brother Tianchen's idea.

He was determined to marry Princess Pingyang into Prince Yu's mansion.

Princess Pingyang didn't want to embarrass Brother Tianchen, nor did she want her father and brother to offend the royal family for her.

He personally received the imperial edict.

The imperial edict has been received. To go back on your word would be deceiving the emperor.

Prince Qi has always been timid and fearful.

Ever since Emperor Qianyao killed so many of his former subordinates in the palace in his early years, he has been in a panic.

He claimed to be ill and hid in the Prince of Qi's mansion.

Even the only legitimate son in the palace gave up his official career to turn to business, and there was no objection at all.

No matter how talented Qi Tianchen is, he has to face his father and Qianyao's emperor.

There is no capital to resist.

"Brother Tianchen feels guilty, but he also knows that there is nothing that can be done to change the situation." Gu Jingxuan said in a deep voice.

Leng Xinmo looked into the distance.

Although he failed to do it in the end, for the sake of his sister, he was able to think of using all his property to exchange for the emperor to revoke his order.

Qi Tianchen is quite capable and can be considered to be thoughtful.

Qi Siyuan was the same. For the sake of her brother and the Prince of Qi's Mansion, she was willing to marry into the Prince of Yu's Mansion.

Unfortunately…

Their father, Prince Qi, is...
