He has an upright posture, walks with big but leisurely steps, wears a green fox brocade robe with a black crane cloak on the outside, has a faint expression on his handsome face, and a pair of phoenix eyes are dark and bright.

Although the weather was cold today, it was sunny. A golden light shone on him, making him look much warmer than usual.

He strode over and asked Xie Zhaozhao with a smile: "I'm not too late, am I?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and thought: It’s great that you’re here!

"Have you prayed for your mother-in-law?"

"Not yet. About to go."

"Then I'm not too late." He greeted Xie Yu, "Brother, are you free to come today too?"

"Yeah," Xie Yu was very pleased. Although his sister's marriage to the elder seemed to be a spur-of-the-moment decision, it was very good.

The two men stood on the left and right of Xie Zhaozhao, carefully protecting her from falling, and went to the memorial hall for Xu Zhiyan together.

They recited scriptures for the salvation of souls, burned the scriptures, and burned paper money.

Gu Shaoyu kowtowed three times respectfully in front of the spirit tablet and said seriously: "Mother-in-law, I am your son-in-law. Please rest assured that I will treat Zhao Zhao well for the rest of my life. No matter in good times or bad, I will support her and do my best to take good care of her for you."

Xie Yu listened without saying anything. This brother-in-law has always been open-minded and never breaks his word. If he can swear so respectfully, it means he can really do it.

After praying here, several people left the temple together.

The winter in the capital is gray and the leaves have all fallen off. There are many trees over a hundred years old in the Huguo Temple. Even without leaves, they will come alive again when the spring breeze blows.

"Zhao Zhao asked you to come here because she has something to tell you. The Crown Prince is going to choose a Crown Princess again. Miss Li and Miss Liu who came today are both on the list. Zhao Zhao has plans for you." Gu Shaoyu didn't like beating around the bush, so he said it directly.

Xie Yu was stunned. He thought a lot and thought Xie Zhaozhao wanted to tell him something else important.

It is indeed time to find a wife. Xie Yu is already an adult and it is time for him to get married.

Seeing what Gu Shaoyu said, Xie Zhaozhao also admitted generously: "Looking around the capital, these close friends are both good-looking and have good character. Few people can surpass them. I intend to match one or two for you. However, this is my idea. Whether you like them or not depends on your own heart."

Xie Yu asked, "Who did you like, sister?"

Xie Zhaozhao originally wanted to talk about Liu Yiyi, but changed his words as soon as he said it: "Brother, do you have anyone you like? If you do, tell your sister and I will talk to grandma and aunt. If neither of them is suitable, I will find another suitable one."

Because they had to attend a palace banquet on New Year's Eve, everyone agreed to stay in the Huguo Temple until the hour of You and then go back.

From the mountain gate to the Main Hall and then to the Jade Buddha Hall, the Huguo Temple rises layer by layer along the mountainside.

They agreed to meet outside the hall on the third floor.

Madam Liu fell in love with Xie Yu and could not help herself. When she saw them coming out of the shrine after praying, she hurried to talk to Xie Zhaozhao.

It was not easy to be too blunt, so she just smiled and said, "Yiyi is spoiled by her sisters. I will only feel relieved if she marries someone who knows her background and has a better temper."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Liu Yiyi who was playing snowballs with the maids in the yard and said, "She has a really good personality. She is carefree and blessed."

"Has your brother's marriage been arranged?"

"Not yet. My father and grandmother mean that my brother needs to agree to be his legal wife."

"That's true..." Mrs. Liu said this and suddenly stood up nervously.

Outside, Liu Yiyi, who had been playing snowball fights with the maid, got into trouble.

I don't know what happened, I accidentally stepped on the wrong step and rolled down from the third floor to the second floor.

Xie Yu was talking to Gu Shaoyu in the corridor of the main hall when he heard a scream. He turned around and saw Liu Yiyi tumbling down to the second floor.

He strode over quickly, trying to catch up and grab Liu Yiyi.

Mrs. Liu's words got stuck in her throat.

Xie Yu was worried that Liu Yiyi might get hurt from the fall, but also felt that this was a godsend opportunity, so he rushed out to help her. As long as he helped her and hugged her, the marriage would definitely be a done deal.

So for a moment, Mrs. Liu was unable to react and just stood there without moving.

Xie Zhaozhao and Madam Liu had the same idea. They thought this was an opportunity arranged by God.

In a flash, the back door of the second-floor hall opposite the stairs where Liu Yiyi fell, which had been closed all the time, suddenly opened.

A figure flashed out quickly, rushed over very quickly, and reached out to catch Liu Yiyi who was rolling down from above.

That person was none other than the prince.

The wounds from being beaten with a hundred boards had scabbed over, but the wound from being shot with an arrow had not yet healed completely.

But he did not hesitate at all and opened his arms to pick up Liu Yiyi.

How did he get out of the mansion, how did he calculate so accurately to appear in the Huguo Temple, how did he just happen to be at the bottom of the stairs...none of them matters!

Xie Zhaozhao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the ice.

Mrs. Liu's expression froze. How happy and expectant she was before, now she felt regretful and panicked.

I tried my best to run over, but it was too late.

Xie Yu couldn't run fast enough. If she was hugged by the prince...

"call"

At the critical moment, a figure, like an arrow shot from a bow, kicked Liu Yiyi into the snow pit that the monks had cleaned.

Madam Liu suddenly collapsed to the ground, her eyes instantly filled with tears of fear.

The prince opened his arms but found nothing.

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Yu both felt relieved.

An impolite voice asked, "Your Highness, do you want to die? Do you have a grudge against Miss Liu? You are injured, how can you survive such a collision? Do you want to kill the whole family of Elder Liu?"

Zhou Tangtang was tall, with a heroic look between his brows. He looked at the prince seriously, unlike his usual playboy-like face.

"Princess Changping, you..." The prince glared at Zhou Tangtang, "How dare you!"

In terms of seniority, she is the prince's cousin, so it is normal for her to consider the prince, but who wants her help?

The prince was extremely angry because his plan was ruined.

Madam Liu had already reacted, and she immediately angrily scolded the maid: "Why don't you help the fourth young lady up quickly?"

The maid had already pulled Liu Yiyi out of the snow nest. Xie Zhaozhao and others went over to pay their respects to the prince and went to see if Liu Yiyi was hurt.

Xie Zhaozhao's expression did not change at all. He lowered his eyes, comforted Liu Yiyi, and asked the maid to help her away quickly.

Others did not see it clearly, but she saw it clearly. The person who quickly kicked Liu Yiyi away was not Zhou Tangtang's man, but one of the secret guards of Yuehu Garden.

Xie Zhaozhao has a photographic memory, let alone people he is familiar with.

Even if it's as fast as lightning, someone familiar with it can still recognize it.
