Then, there was a problem with the border between the two countries, and he was ordered to take people to the neighboring country for negotiations.
In the capital of a neighboring country, at the age of eighteen, he had a verbal battle with the opponent's ministers, won a great victory, and successfully solved the border issue.
A young talented man becomes famous in one fell swoop, and famous ladies flock to him.
However, he rejected everyone's proposals for marriage, saying that he would work hard to do practical things for the people before he was twenty years old, and that he would only consider personal marriage after he was twenty years old.
Many people thought he had the world in mind.
In fact, only he himself knew that he was waiting for Junuo to turn sixteen, and he wanted to marry her.
Time passed slowly like this for another two years, and finally he was twenty years old.
The eldest princess's family actually sent people to the mansion to propose marriage for their daughter, the Princess of Tongle County. This was a great honor for the entire Yongping Marquis Mansion, and it was also an opportunity to reach a higher level.
What's more, the Lord of Tongle County has a beautiful appearance, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a famous lady in the capital.
Therefore, his mother, Princess Qinghe, agreed to the marriage without consulting him at all.
After he found out, he was furious and told the secret hidden in his heart, and he would never marry anyone but Junuo in this life.
Mother and son broke up unhappy.
The next day, heavy rain poured down and Jiangnan was flooded. He was sent to Jiangnan to preside over the post-disaster reconstruction work.
His mother promised him that when he came back this time, as long as he married the head of Tongle County, she would allow him to take Juno as his concubine. This was the last compromise she could make.
Otherwise, if he persists in his obsession, the Yongping Marquis Mansion will directly marry Ju Nuo to a servant.
The night he left, he went to see Ju Nuo, and the two of them said goodbye in the garden of the Hou Mansion.
That night, Ju Nuo, who had always been timid and cautious, took the initiative to hug him for the first time: "Brother Zi Qian, I'm waiting for you to come back! You must be well."
After the separation, he went directly to Jiangnan on the second day, and his stay turned out to last a year.
The journey was long and the transportation was inconvenient, so they only exchanged two letters in total. It can be seen from the letters that Ju Nuo's days in the Hou Mansion were as usual, and no one made trouble for her.
However, when he returned to the Hou Mansion full of joy, he did not see Ju Nuo at all.
His mother, Princess Qinghe, told him that because he was about to marry the Lord of Tongle County, she was afraid that the Lord would be unhappy, so she asked Ju Nuo to go to his family's village to stay for a few days.
After they were married, she would find a suitable opportunity to bring up the matter of concubinage.
He naively thought that his mother would not deceive him. He also understood that under such circumstances, this was the best arrangement.
Therefore, they agreed to get married.
After getting married, Princess Tongle turned out to be dignified, beautiful, and virtuous.
However, the mother never mentioned the concubinage, and Junuo's family was sent to Zhuangzi after the county lord married.
Having deep faith in his mother, he finally felt that something was wrong.
So he took his confidants and carried everyone on his back to the village where his mother said he would place Ju Nuo.
The owner of the village was very surprised and frightened when he saw him.
When he mentioned that he was here to visit the wet nurse and her family, the owner's face became even worse.
At this time, he heard hysterical screams coming from the woodshed of the farmer's house. That sound, which he would never forget for the rest of his life, belonged to Ju Nuo.
As if he was crazy, he kicked open the door of the woodshed, and then he saw the girl he had always cherished in his heart like a treasure, tied by an iron chain, unkempt, ragged clothes, and barefoot.
