Xiao Changying returned to his palace in a few steps. As a prince and an imperial prince serving in the army, he could not leave the capital without the emperor's order. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime, so he needed to sneak away.
Whether it was pretending to be sick or making up excuses, it wouldn't last long, so he needed someone to cover for him. If that person was his brother, he would have no worries.
"Your Highness, the third lady is here." Xiao Changying's chief secretary came to report.
Xiao Changying, who was packing his bags, paused, stood up and walked out.
The third lady is the wife-to-be, You Wenjun, whom His Majesty has arranged to marry him. They will be married in three months.
You Wenjun is the daughter of a general. She does not like hairpins and skirts. She usually wears a lapel robe, with her long hair tied up high, and a heroic look between her brows.
"Your Highness, please ask your attendants to leave." After paying his respects, You Wenjun looked at the person beside Xiao Changying.
Xiao Changying waved his hand, and everyone beside him withdrew, leaving only the two of them in the pavilion in the corridor: "Third Lady, please speak frankly."
"Your Highness cannot leave Beijing." You Wenjun said bluntly.
Xiao Changying narrowed his narrow eyes.
You Wenjun was stunned. She was just guessing, but Xiao Changying's reaction told her that he really wanted to go.
After they were granted marriage, Xiao Changying came to find her and told her that there was someone in his heart who he would never be able to let go in this life.
She felt bitter at the time. It was impossible for her to say that she had deep feelings for Xiao Changying. After all, they had just met, but they were already engaged. He was different to her. How could she remain calm when her fiancé said that he had someone in his heart and would never forget him
She would never forget the day when the sun was shining brightly, the garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers and colorful butterflies were flying in the yard, and he spoke such cruel and heartless words to her so frankly and openly.
"Madam San, I already have someone I love, but I am not virtuous enough to please her. So we are not destined to be together, but I cannot let her go. I am telling you today because I do not want to deceive you. If you do not want to marry into Prince Lie's mansion, I will regret the engagement. Don't worry, I will not let you get stigmatized or implicated."
Breaking off an engagement
He said he wanted to cancel the marriage right after the marriage was arranged. He was so straightforward, standing as straight as a spear, so tall and straight that no one could question his words. She believed that as long as she shook her head, he would definitely cancel the marriage, and would definitely let her get away with it and take responsibility for everything himself.
Suddenly, she envied the person he liked. She even found it ridiculous and curious what kind of girl could a prince from a royal family, who was both talented in literature and martial arts and very beautiful, not like
"Your Highness, do you know why we are engaged?" You Wenjun couldn't help but ask.
Their marriage was arranged by His Majesty, which was a sign of His Majesty's favor and enticement to Youshi. Does he know what the consequences will be if he breaks off the engagement
"I am being frank with you today, which means I am giving you the right to choose. You don't need to delve into the meaning of the engagement." His eyes were shining like water, but there was no ripple in them.
No need to delve into it
You Wenjun values military power but not literature. She just can't stand those red tapes, but she knows clearly that she has no choice in her marriage. If You wants to make further progress, if she wants to be free from the fear of His Majesty in the Northeast, and if she wants to show her loyalty, she must marry into the royal family.
