[Mutual salvation, a little princess sent away for a political marriage + a scheming and calculating vassal king] When Xu Jiaojiao was young, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau declared her a lucky star blessed by the Pole Star. The emperor therefore bestowed on her the title of Princess Hejia. Everyone knew there was a Princess Hejia in the palace, but no one knew she was the legitimate daughter of the Li family. Later, a collateral branch of the Xu clan rebelled, and Xu Jiaojiao was forced to go to Yizhou for a political marriage. On the road, she met a young man dressed in black armor. Seeing the character “Ji” on his token, she assumed he was her intended husband and went with him. Xie Tiao had thought it would take some effort to abduct her. He never expected her to simply follow him, and laughed that she really was a silly little thing. Only after they arrived in Jizhou did Xu Jiaojiao realize she had mistaken Yizhou for Jizhou! Xie Tiao never imagined his wife would obediently come home with him. Perhaps this was fate! Jiaojiao, the maiden by the River of Heaven; Tiaotiao, the Cowherd Star. They were made for each other.
Xie Tiao never imagined his wife came home with him because she'd mistaken one character for another.
