The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

The Xie family, the maternal family of Xie Sanniang, is not only not a famous family, but even very poor. Dozens of generations ago, the highest-ranking official in the family was the village chief, and the most learned scholar could not even find a scholar.

Taizu became the emperor, and when the crown prince reached the age to get married, he really disliked the prospective in-law who was arranged in earlier years and was not up to the standard, so he planned to change the crown prince to a crown princess. The Pei family from Jiangnan was exactly what Taizu wanted.

As a result, the late emperor, who was still the crown prince at the time, executed first and reported later.

The late emperor traveled thousands of miles to Xiejia Village and asked the local prefect to act as a matchmaker. He betrothed Xiejia Sanniang in the name of the royal family and as the crown prince, which caught Taizu off guard.

After the decision was made and the engagement letter was exchanged, the matter was set in stone and there was no room for reversal. The late emperor then returned to the palace to reason with Taizu:

“Back then, my father was trapped in Niujiao Mountain, with no food or fodder inside and powerful enemies outside, and he barely escaped death.

Pei sent a lobbyist to help his father out of trouble as long as he divorced his wife and remarried, and formed an alliance with Pei.

My father refused Pei's offer and refused to divorce his wife. Instead, he was valued by the head of the Pei family and received help from the Pei family, and he achieved great success.

My father won the world with his integrity. The third daughter of the Xie family and I have been engaged for many years. She has good character and has no faults. How can I abandon her and be a traitor? "

Taizu was furious:

"You are really making up a story. I think you have been taught a stupid mind by those Confucian scholars. How can you confuse these two things?"

When Taizu was furious, Empress Jiang took action:

"Why is the emperor angry? Is what Rui'er said wrong?

I know why the Emperor dislikes Miss Xie and wants to replace her. It's because he dislikes her rural background.

I am also from the countryside, so Your Majesty, do you want to replace me as the Queen as well?"

Taizu was a hero who was fearless, but he was afraid of only one thing in his life, and that was his original wife, Queen Jiang.

Taizu was so angry at Empress Jiang's words that he could not speak clearly:

"You, you, you, mother and son, you are going too far!

We have been married for so many years, and I have treated you so well. Why are you saying such nonsense to poke my lungs?

Rui'er is my eldest son, can I still harm him? !

Besides, how can the third wife of the Xie family be compared with you!

When the imperial court forced soldiers to suppress bandits, my family was penniless and unarmed. It was my father-in-law who sold the only fat pig in the family to buy me a set of armor and a good sword. Thanks to the armor and the good sword, I was able to survive on this battlefield and build my current empire.

Think about it carefully. Rui'er is the crown prince and will be the emperor in the future. The Xie family is poor. What have you given him before? What can you give him in the future? What can you do to help him?"

Queen Jiang snorted coldly:

"Rui'er is a seven-foot-tall man, doesn't he have arms and legs? If he wants something, he should fight for it himself. Why should he wait for others to help him? Why should others give it to him?"

Empress Jiang then instructed the late emperor:

"Do you understand? Rui'er, your father couldn't let go of that big fat pig, so he asked the Xie family to add a big fat pig to the dowry!"

The late emperor replied:

"Yes, mother, I will let the Xie family select the fattest and strongest one, so as not to lose the dignity of our royal family. I thank you father for your help."

What have I accomplished!

Is the big fat pig the point?

I now rule the world, how could I be in need of such a big fat pig!

Taizu was really about to vomit blood because of the praise given by this mother and son.

So later, although the third daughter of the Xie family married into the palace and became the Crown Princess as she wished, Taizu never liked the Xie family and did not promote or reward the Xie family. It was not until the birth of Su Fengyi's brother and sister that Taizu changed his mind about Empress Xie.

Even the Crown Princess's family had a hard time. As a distant relative of the Crown Princess at the time, Xie Xuan, who had just lost his parents and had no elders to take care of him, had an even harder time. He almost starved to death.

Fortunately, a man's birth brought him salvation.

When Xie Xuan was seven years old, the eldest princess was born, and the Jinyiwei went to Xiejia Village to look for a candidate to serve as a personal guard for the eldest princess.

How lucky Xie Xuan was!

He was glad that because his last name was Xie, he had the opportunity to be selected by the royal family and joined the Jinyiwei. From a confused and muddle-headed child who was about to starve to death, he finally became a man with a stable home.

There were a total of eighteen Xie family children who walked out of Xie Village together, but only one of them made it to the eldest princess' side in the end.

As the eldest princess's reserve guard, Xie Xuan studied literature and martial arts day and night, worked hard, and never dared to slack off for a moment.

Taizu would personally examine the monthly civil and military examinations, and every time, Xie Xuan came in first.

In this way, he finally won the favor of Taizu, stood out, defeated seventeen other competitors, and became the first choice for the eldest princess's personal guard.

In order to be by the side of the eldest princess, Xie Xuan prepared alone for a long twelve years, and finally got his wish six years ago.

But now, the princess asked him to go. He had already regarded the princess's mansion as his home, but the princess asked him to go!

Where else can he go?

For a moment, Xie Xuan was at a loss, as if he had returned to eighteen years ago and became that homeless and lonely child in the vast world without a roof over his head.

Xie Xuan's eyes were too pitiful, as if he was abandoned. Su Fengyi hurriedly said:

"I'm not chasing you away. You can come back anytime you want. I'll let Wutong keep your yard for you.

"I have a reason for letting you return to the Jinyiwei. I am not asking you to return without any status. Since you are returning to the Jinyiwei, you must make merit and get promoted. You can become the commander of the Jinyiwei and return with honor."

Su Fengyi handed the drawn treasure map to Xie Xuan and said:

"Take a good look at this map. When this matter is over, accompany General Shen to go to the Northern Tartars. The men of the Shen family are good at fighting, but they are not very capable of dealing with the mechanisms of the underground palace.

Go and help General Shen destroy the Northern Barbarians' royal court, level the underground palace of the Goddess Lake, and take back the secret treasures of the previous dynasty that were stolen by the Northern Barbarians, and earn the Jinyiwei's face in front of the emperor.

The Eastern Depot is powerful, and only the Imperial Guards can contend with it. Xie Xuan, you have to make the Imperial Guards useful to the Emperor before they can be useful to me, do you understand?

I really don't trust anyone else with this matter, only you can do it, are you willing to go?"

After hearing the words "come back anytime", "useful", and "only you", Xie Xuan's heart finally settled down, and he said with joy:

"So His Highness wants to use me, not drive me away!"

After settling down, Xie Xuan became the reliable person who obeyed orders and replied:

"I obey your command. However, the journey to the Northern Territory is long and it will take several months. The capital is not peaceful right now. If anything happens, I am afraid that I will be far away and will not be able to take care of Your Highness' affairs. If anything happens, I will die without hesitation."

"The matter of the secret treasure of the previous dynasty is the most important thing in my mind. As for the other things..."

Su Fengyi thought about it and felt that Xie Xuan was right to worry. She planned to send Xie Xuan to the court. Someone really needed to take over the miscellaneous affairs of the princess's mansion that he was handling.

Regarding Wutong, she also wanted to find an opportunity to find out what Xie Xuan meant, so she asked him:

"During your absence, I'll ask an assistant to take over as your personal guard. As for other matters, what do you think of Wutong?"
