To me, Yuan Yu was a senior brother, a friend, although our friendship was not too deep, but probably he also felt distressed for me to marry a tyrant, also his gaze was a bit different from others, as to how it was different, I also could not explain it...
Wu Min Jun and I stayed at Qin Palace. We were not in the same room. After all, we have not officially married yet, but our rooms were adjacent to each other. I used to live in Ji Pian Palace, but now that I was staying here it felt like there was nothing different. Earlier, the two of us returned to each of our own rooms in Qin Palace, then I sneakily slipped into his room.
The two people sat in the huge palace silently.
"I say, you should pay a bit more attention later, show as much of a happy appearance as possible, otherwise they will all think that you are awfully wronged," I said to him after a long time.
Wu Min Jun shot a faint glance at me: "You have to marry me, don't tell me you are not feeling wronged?"
"Uhh" I froze for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
I was also a girl who had fantasized about what kind of person my future husband like, he may be the newly titled zhuangyuan[1] and we both fell in love at first sight at Qiong Lin banquet[2]; or perhaps he will be a wulin xiashi[3], he came to my aid when I first struck out on my own, causing deep feelings to develop between us; or he may be the great Jiang Yang[4] thief that boldly went to steal from the imperial palace but accidentally entered my Palace, then the two us became a quarrelsome but loving couple...
Oh, by the way, the type of man that I like is the kind of gongzi[5] with a clear (honest), handsome face, gentle expression, ink-like hair like a waterfall wearing white cloth.
However, this was only a delusion, I know that the only possibility of an unfavored Princess like me was to marry someone that was chosen by Imperial Father. But unfortunately, I wasn't born with an appearance that was capable enough to cause the downfall of the city where I was sent, the other country's Emperor, and everyone could not accept that.
So, I may not be of much use to him (the Emperor) to marry for benefit. Imperial Father would have used me to control the other influential clans of East Yuan Country, such as the former Prince's second son who had polio or the young master of the Zhang clan who had pockmarks on his face because of smallpox, or...
"I'm not feeling wronged," Finally I shook my head, "You look better than the people I might otherwise marry, you are also the Emperor of West Yang Country, your status is also higher than theirs. Your martial arts is better than theirs, your literature talent is better than theirs, everything is better than theirs... To able to marry you, in fact, it's reasonable to say that I should still be celebrating it."
Wu Min Jun watched me for a moment, and finally laughed: "That's true."
It felt very refreshing to admit it.
I was too lazy to deal with him and was planning to continue talking about something else. Suddenly, the people at the door announced that the Empress Dowager was coming. Wu Min Jun and I looked at each other and I told him to remember his manners and to be on good behavior.
Afterwards, I quickly hid behind the red sandalwood screen, looking outside from the small slits. Wu Min Jun awkwardly greeted Empress Dowager, and it made the Empress Dowager believe that "Princess Chang Yi" was so reluctant to salute because she (Empress Dowager) sent her (Princess Chang Yi) to die, as a result, sighed: "Chang Yi, I know that you hate me, but..."Wu Min Jun was already annoyed as he rarely saluted anyone, and was even more reluctant to listen to these embarrassing things.
In my heart, I was a little worried, but I saw him turn his eyes and sincerely say to Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, how can I hate you? If not for you, how could I have possibly met His Highness, such an excellent and perfect man like this? If you didn't send me to assassinate him, I am afraid he and I will miss each other in this life, then at that time it will be too late for me to regret..."
Behind the screen, I held my chest and felt breathless...
Empress Dowager's complexion became green, she did not understand if "Princess Chang Yi" was telling the truth or lying, after a while, she only said: "Then that's good, that's good... You are not feeling wronged..."
Wu Min Jun still smiling: "I'm not feeling wronged, not feeling wronged."
The two people relatively became silent, Wu Min Jun only giggled at Empress Dowager. Finally, the Empress Dowager thought that "Princess Chang Yi" was crazy and soon departed with an ashen face. I was relieved and prepared to come out, however, at the same time, a figure of someone broke through and landed on the ground silently. It was an expert—I thought it was an assassin, my heart tightened. After looking, I saw it was actually Yuan Yu.
Now that I had time to look at him carefully. I haven't seen him for a while, he changed a lot. His gaze looked somewhat contemptuous, at this moment he narrowed his eyes and looked dangerous and had a bit killing intent on it, with handsome features, although not as good as Wu Min Jun, nevertheless it was an entirely distinct flavor. A close-fitting indigo blue Imperial Guard garment completely revealed his tall and very strong figure.
Seeing that person suddenly appeared with faint killing intent, yet still wearing the Imperial Guard attire, Wu Min Jun was startled and said: "You..."
I inwardly complained, I hadn't told Wu Min Jun who Yuan Yu was yet!
However, I saw Yuan Yu's face was green-black and his expression looked treacherous: "Chang Yi..."
Wu Min Jun pulled the corner of his mouth: "En?" While his right hand was at his waist where he put the dagger. It was the one I used to try to assassinate him, somehow he liked it and wanted it. I was too lazy to fight with him so gave it to him.
I desperately whispered to Wu Min Jun: "He is not a bad person, not a bad person..."
But obviously, Wu Min Jun could not hear it.
At this moment, Yuan Yu who held a bit of a murderous aura, suddenly sat down impudently and naturally with his hands on his knees. He said to Wu Min Jun: "Chang Yi, I was outside just a moment ago. I heard everything that you talked about with Empress Dowager."
Wu Min Jun sounded "Oh", he did not know why he (YY) looked at him (WM) like that.
Yuan Yu closed his eyes: "Chang Yi, was everything that you said real? You like Wu Min Jun... and not for the country and not because you have no option but to like him."
At the moment, the way Yuan Yu spoke was odd and different from before. I was completely at a loss behind the screen. Suddenly I saw Wu Min Jun release his grip on the dagger and show a sly smile: "Oh... You're talking about that, ah."
"En." Yuan Yu nodded nervously.
Wu Min Jun cracked his countenance and said: "Of course it's real! You also can see that Wu Min Jun has a great handsome appearance and a distinguished bearing, he's also Xiyang country's Emperor... One might as well ask, what does he want with me? Hehe, no matter what you say, I really like him."
... He was really becoming more and more shameless!
I silently watched the two people and saw that Yuan Yu's complexion was becoming more and strange. All of a sudden he finally said with a pained tone: "Chang Yi, you obviously know how I feel about you!"
Then unexpectedly he (YY) threw himself and resolutely kissed Princess Chang Yi, that is Wu Min Jun...
