When Qiao Xuan heard that both of his daughters were going to marry Yuan Yao, he was so shocked that he almost pulled his beard off.
He was about to object.
"Father, what's wrong with that?”
"In ancient times, there was an emperor and a woman who married Emperor Shun. Today, we sisters are both married to His Majesty.”
"That's right. My sister and I both like Your Majesty. Didn't you say that we sisters should make our own choices?”
"This is our choice. Please allow it, Father!”
After saying that, the two women bowed again.
"Duke Qiao, since the two young ladies are both infatuated with zhen, then what's the harm in marrying zhen? zhen will definitely not treat them unfairly.”
Yuan Yao hurriedly promised.
She thought to herself, It wasn't easy for Big Qiao and Little Qiao to fall in love with me. I can't let you break them up.
Qiao Xuan was helpless. Since he had agreed to let Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao make their own choices, he could not go back on his word.
In the end, he could only agree.
Just like that, Yuan Yao's journey of seeking marriage was successfully completed, and he finally got Xiao Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
That night, after settling the marriage proposal, Yuan Yao had a meal and stayed overnight in the Qiao Estate.
Yuan Yao did not expect Xiao Qiao to come to the guest house to look for him right after the banquet.
During the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms period, the security between men and women was far less strict than during the Song and Ming dynasties when Confucianism was prevalent.
If they were lovers, they would do anything. There were also many cases of men and women eloping.
Furthermore, Xiao Qiao was a girl with a natural and dull personality. She did not care much.
Da Qiao was much more reserved than Xiao Qiao. He was probably a little shy, so he didn't look for Yuan Yao.
"Brother Emperor, the song you played during the day was really touching.”
"Is there really such a story in reality?”
Xiao Qiao still couldn't forget the song she played during the day, so she asked Yuan Yao the moment she saw him.
Yuan Yao pulled Xiao Qiao over and placed her on his lap, telling her the story of the Liang Zhu from the Western Han Dynasty.
"During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Zhu Village in Shangyu County, Kuaiji County. Minister Zhu had a beautiful and intelligent daughter named Zhu Yingtai. She loved poetry and books since she was young, but she hated that she had no good teacher. In order to go out to study, she began to dress up as a man to study.”
"She met Liang Shanbo in Wansong Academy. They were classmates for three years. Zhu Yingtai had deep feelings for Liang Shanbo, but Liang Shanbo didn't know that she was a girl and only treated her as a good brother.”
"Hehe, this Liang Shanbo is so stupid. He can't even tell if Zhu Yingtai, who has been classmates for three years, is a boy or a girl.”
Xiao Qiao giggled in Yuan Yao's arms. Her beautiful big eyes instantly curved into two crescent moons, looking extremely cute.
"Uh, don't mind the details. Do you want to continue listening to the story?”
Xiao Qiao immediately quieted down and continued to listen to Yuan Yao's story.
"Later on, Zhu Yingtai received news that his father was sick and had to rush home. Before he left, Ying Tai revealed his identity and hoped that Shan Bo could go to her house to propose marriage.”
"It's a pity that Shan Bo's family is poor and he couldn't come as planned. Ying Tai has already been betrothed by my father to Ma Wencai, the son of the prefect.”
When Xiao Qiao heard this, her face was filled with pity and regret.
"Before the two of them parted, they made an oath: Life cannot be the same quilt, death must be the same hole!”
"Shan Bo fell ill from depression and soon died.”
" When Ying Tai was forced to get married, she went to Shan Bo's grave to pay her respects. Under her grief, the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning struck, and the grave exploded. Ying Tai jumped into the grave, and the grave closed up. The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the rainbow hung high in the sky. Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly, dancing in the world.”
Although Xiao Qiao was already moved to tears by the song "Liang Zhu" during the day, after listening to the full version of the story, she still cried. She was so touched that she was in a mess.
As expected, since ancient times, women were emotional animals. Beautiful and sad stories were the easiest to move them.
"Brother Emperor, after Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai transform into butterflies, will they live happily together forever?”
Xiao Qiao looked at Yuan Yao with tears in her eyes.
"Yes, their true feelings touched the heavens. They became butterflies and accompanied each other forever. They must be living happily together now.”
Yuan Yao gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Xiao Qiao's eyes and comforted her gently.
"Emperor big brother, Xiao Qiao really likes you. If emperor big brother is no longer around, Xiao Qiao will follow emperor big brother like Zhu Yingtai.”
"Then Brother Emperor, will you love me like how Liang Shanbo loves Zhu Yingtai?”
Xiao Qiao stopped crying and looked at Yuan Yao expectantly.
Yuan Yao's heart trembled when he heard this. Looking at Xiao Qiao's beautiful face, his heart was filled with tender love.
In history, Xiao Qiao died of depression not long after Zhou Yu's death.
It was obvious that Xiao Qiao was indeed a woman of passion. She would probably commit suicide for love.
"What is love in the world? It teaches people to promise each other life and death!”
"Xiao Qiao, don't worry. I will definitely treat you well.”
"But you will never die of depression in this life. I will definitely make you happy and carefree.”
Facing such an infatuated Xiao Qiao, Yuan Yao secretly made up his mind.
"Yes, Xiao Qiao is so cute and moving, how can brother not love her? Don't worry, brother will love you like Liang Shanbo loves Zhu Yingtai!”
Yuan Yao hugged Xiao Qiao tightly in his arms and promised solemnly.
