Early in the morning, Chu Liancheng was picked up by his father Chu Heng: "Don't sleep, there are guests arriving today. His Highness the Crown Prince asked you to accompany him out of the city to greet him."
Chu Liancheng asked with a confused look: "What kind of guest? Why haven't I heard His Royal Highness mention it?"
"There are so many problems, just go ahead if you are told."
Chu Heng didn't say much to him, called someone to come in to serve him, and then walked away with his hands behind his back.
Chu Liancheng changed his clothes and went out without even having time to eat breakfast.
Xiao Jue was already waiting outside. He hurriedly walked over to meet Li: "His Royal Highness."
Xiao Jue nodded and said nothing more to him, "Let's go."
Chu Liancheng got on his horse and followed Xiao Jue: "Your Highness, I don't know what kind of guest this is. Do you still need to go out of the city to greet him in person?"
"oh."
Xiao Jue said: "The emperor's uncle is returning to Beijing today, and the emperor asked me to come out of the city to welcome him."
Chu Liancheng was stunned for a moment before he remembered, who was the uncle Xiao Jue mentioned?
That was His Majesty's cousin, the late Emperor's posthumous son, Xiao Qiyan, who was named King Qi.
Because of his poor health, he had been recuperating in Lin'an Palace and rarely returned to Beijing.
Chu Liancheng had no impression of Xiao Qiyan, and only a handful of courtiers had seen him.
However, the relationship between Your Majesty and this brother is quite close. King Qi is twenty years younger than Your Majesty, and he is only a few years older than Xiao Jue.
Chu Liancheng didn't ask any more questions and came to the outside of the city with Xiao Jue.
Not long after, a huge procession of horse-drawn carriages appeared on the official road.
Chu Liancheng looked at this posture and couldn't help but frowned and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi returned to Beijing, why is there such a big battle?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the flag of Southern Xinjiang flying in the team.
He was startled: "Isn't this the flag of Southern Xinjiang?"
Xiao Jue pretended to be surprised and asked: "You don't know?"
Chu Liancheng was a little confused: "What do you know?"
Xiao Jue said: "Southern Xinjiang sent a princess to marry our Nanyue, didn't you know?
Everyone in Nanyue knows about this matter. You and Xiao Chengyi have been in Southern Xinjiang for so long, but you don’t know that the princess of Nanjiang wants to come to our Nanyue for marriage?"
Chu Liancheng looked shocked: "What did you say? Princess Nanjiang and Qin Nanyue? Which princess?"
Xiao Jue shrugged: "Who else could it be? I heard that the third princess from Southern Xinjiang is the candidate for the queen, and the second princess is going to marry Beichen.
The one who is marrying Nanyue is naturally the eldest princess, her name seems to be Jiang Nian."
As soon as this name fell into his ears, Chu Liancheng felt like a thunder struck.
He sat on the horse blankly, his mind frozen.
It wasn't until the carriage of the wedding team arrived that Chu Liancheng recovered from the huge shock.
Immediately, all the clues were sorted out.
In other words, all of them knew that Jiang Nian was coming to get married, but he didn't know.
Chu Liancheng was so angry that he wanted to turn around and go to the Regent's Mansion to find Xiao Chengyi and ask him clearly.
However, he endured it.
The princess of Southern Xinjiang came to marry him. As a courtier of Nanyue, he could not lose his etiquette.
Chu Liancheng took a deep breath and looked at the luxurious carriage, his head twitching.
I thought that by leaving southern Xinjiang, I would escape the nightmare, but I didn't expect that someone would scheme against me.
He held the reins tightly and remained silent.
Xiao Jue said to the people in the carriage: "Your Highness, Princess, has come all the way. Thank you for your hard work. I am here to welcome you, the Prince of Nanyue, Xiao Jue."
The car curtain opened, revealing Jiang Nian's pretty face. She briefly gestured to Xiao Jue: "Your Highness, you're welcome."
