Princess Dingtao was locked in Weiyang Palace and could not go out, which made her desperate.

I wanted to take advantage of the marriage of my third brother's new wife and ask for help, but I didn't even have a chance to meet.

Only when the second brother enters the palace will the brother and sister have the opportunity to meet.

"Second brother, please help me! My mother wants to marry me to the second son of the governor of Liangzhou whom I have never heard of. I don't want to marry, I don't want to go to Liangzhou, I..."

"Who told you to marry into Liangzhou?"

The second prince Xiao Chengwen interrupted her.

Princess Dingtao looked confused, and tears were still hanging on her cheeks, which looked quite ridiculous.

"You, you, your second brother, you know?"

She realized it and realized something. She thought of it. A chill rose on the soles of her feet and only rushed to the top of her forehead.

Subconsciously, her whole body shivered and her face turned pale.

The second prince Xiao Chengwen stared at her, his eyes calm, as calm as an ancient well, without any emotion.

Dingtao felt cold in his heart and subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing this, the second prince Xiao Chengwen laughed, but his smile did not reach his eyes.

He told her directly: "Liu Baoping will report his work in the capital next month. After that, he will stay in the capital to serve. So, you don't have to marry in Liangzhou, you will get married in the capital and will still live in the capital after getting married."

Princess Dingtao retreated repeatedly and shook her head frequently.

"The father will not agree to this marriage."

Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled, as if he had heard the ridiculous joke in the world.

He said: "Today, my father officially issued an order to marry you, and you and Liu Baoping are already unmarried couples."

"No, it's impossible! You are lying to me, right? How could the father agree to this marriage?"

"What reason does the father disagree?" Xiao Chengwen asked her back.

Princess Dingtao opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

Xiao Chengwen said expressionlessly: "Although you are a legitimate child, you are not the daughter you love most, and you are even among the top few children you dislike the father. The father never asked about your marriage from beginning to end.

As long as the mother makes up her mind, let alone marry Liu Baoping, even if she marrys a cripple, deaf, blind, and married a cat and a dog, the father would not say "no". For so many years, the father never cared about your affairs. Have you not noticed it? My sister, why are you so stupid?"

"Ah... shut up, shut up!"

Princess Dingtao covered her ears and said, "Don't listen, she doesn't listen."

They all lie to her.

How could the truth be so unbearable?

Although he knew that his mother and second brother were both stupid people, Tao Qi was a living example.

But when she faced her mother's second brother's heart, she still couldn't bear it and almost collapsed.

She squatted on the ground and cried loudly.

She was very scared!

It seemed as if it had fallen into the clutches of the devil.

She suddenly envied Tao Qi.

At least Tao Qi died silently, without suffering, and had no need to know the truth.

It is not a kind of luck to die peacefully.

She is a princess!

She is the emperor's legitimate daughter!

How could God let her bear such pain and how could she be so cruel to her?

She lives not as good as the daughter of a small family.

Xiao Chengwen squatted down, pinched Dingtao's jawbone, and forced her to raise her head.

While wiping her tears, he calmly said, "Why are you crying? Isn't it just getting married? As for crying like this?"

Dingtao shivered and dared not cry, but just sobbed instinctively.

She stared at her second brother blankly, and her body was cold.

It made her more frightened than facing her mother.

She didn't even dare to move, and even sobbed instinctively seemed cautious.

Xiao Chengwen continued: "The emperor and his mother did not let you marry you, which is the greatest luck as a princess. Marrying Liu Baoping is more than a hundred times better than a marriage. Is it necessary to cry? You oppose this marriage, but you have never seen Liu Baoping, and you don't know what he looks like and what kind of temperament. If I tell you, Liu Baoping looks as good as me and has a gentle temperament, would you still refuse this marriage?"

Princess Dingtao suddenly forgot to be afraid.

She asked foolishly: "Have you seen Liu Baoping?"

Xiao Chengwen smiled, "If I hadn't seen him, how could I betrothed you to him?"

Princess Dingtao widened her eyes, "But, my mother clearly had never seen Liu Baoping."

Xiao Chengwen said: "My mother is in the palace all year round and she is rarely out of the palace. Naturally, she has never seen Liu Baoping."

"But second brother, how could you have seen Liu Baoping with your body?"

Princess Dingtao looked confused.

Xiao Chengwen shaved her nose, "What's so strange about this? You forgot that Liu Baoping's family, Liu Jin, and Liu's family, had the same clan. The two families are relatives of the same surname and often had contacts. Before, you had never paid attention to the Liu family, so naturally you didn't know that there was such a person."

Princess Dingtao suddenly realized.

She asked carefully: "Is this marriage decided by my second brother?"

"Are you not satisfied?" Xiao Chengwen seemed to be smiling.

Princess Dingtao's heart thumped and she shook her head carefully, "No!"

Xiao Chengwen smiled with satisfaction, "This is my good sister, obedient and sensible. Don't worry, I won't harm you. When you meet Liu Baoping in this marriage, you will definitely be satisfied."

Princess Dingtao was nervous and nodded obediently.

After being enlightened by my second brother, I was not as resistant to this marriage at the beginning.

If Liu Baoping was really as his second brother said, he was good-looking and gentle, he could marry him.

But she never thought that even if she disagreed, she would have to marry her.

She never thought that Liangzhou, a bitter and cold place, was in chaos among foreign races.

Liu Bao usually travels to the army all year round and kills decisively. How could he be a gentle person?

The evil spirits in the whole body may be real.

No one told her about this.

At this moment, she couldn't think of where to go.

Seeing that her mood stabilized, Xiao Chengwen said, "Don't squat down, I'm so tired. Come on, help me stand up."

Dingtao quickly helped Xiao Chengwen stand up.

Seeing him sitting down in a chair and reaching out to beat his legs, she asked curiously: "Does my second brother feel uncomfortable? Have you not been in good health over the years?"

Xiao Chengwen laughed when he heard this, "Even if he feels uncomfortable, he is used to it. The root cause of the disease caused by the womb cannot be removed, so he can only take care of it slowly. Dingtao, maybe I will disappear one day, will you still hold a grudge against me?"

Dingtao was guilty and panicked.

She shook her head quickly, "I have never held a grudge against my second brother!"

Xiao Chengwen raised his eyebrows and smiled, obviously not believing it.

He didn't expose her either.

"It doesn't matter whether you hold a grudge against me. But you must remember: you, me, the third brother, the queen mother, the four of us prosper and the ones are both prosperous and the other are both detrimental. Anyone may harm you, but I, the queen mother, the third brother, will never harm you. We are your closest relatives, and we are all planning for you."

Princess Dingtao was shocked inside, and her expression was entangled, contradictory and hesitant.

Xiao Chengwen continued to work hard, "You always think that my mother and I are harming you in this marriage. But you never thought that the Liu family is in Liangzhou, and you live in the capital after getting married, which means you have no in-laws and sisters-in-law and sister-in-law. After marriage, you continue to live in the princess's house, and live whatever you want, without anyone to restrain you, and be free and easy. Isn't such a marriage good?

If you choose a marriage for you among the many families in the capital, you will have parents-in-law and sister-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and all kinds of relationships. Even if you are a princess, you will have to be perfunctory on weekdays. With your temper and such a life, you will have to be unbearable after three months. If you feel wronged, you will lose your reputation even if you don’t say it. How can you marry Liu Baoping freely?"

Princess Dingtao was stunned.

After learning about this marriage, she never thought about it from this perspective.

After hearing what the nursery rhyme says, this marriage seems to be really good.

She asked timidly: "Is it really as good as the second brother said? Liu Baoping, is he really easy to get along with?"

Xiao Chengwen sneered, "So what if it's not easy to get along with? You are the princess and the prince consort. Only he gives in to you will not let you get angry with him."

When Dingtao heard this, he thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the truth.

As long as you have no in-laws and sisters-in-law and no filial piety to suppress you, you can live a happy life after the wedding.

Until this moment, she was finally convinced by her second brother Xiao Chengwen, and she no longer rejected this marriage.
