Three days later, the imperial edict of the Crown Princes marriage with Murong Qianjin spread throughout the Southern Dynasty.

  Seeing the joyful expression on her face, I couldnt help but recall the last words South Chengyao said to me when he left that day.

  Still with that careless and frivolous smile, he said, "Dont worry, Murong Yu will be married into the Eastern Palace within half a month."

  I was slightly taken aback in my heart, and for a moment I didnt know how to react, so I just bowed slightly and said softly: "Thank you, Your Excellency."

  He smiled: "What are you thanking me for? Didnt you want me to do nothing at all? Even if I really did something, it wasnt for your sake. You can take back that thank you."

  After he said those words, he left and I havent seen him again until now.

  And so, I have no way of knowing what role Nan Chongyao played in this relationship between Ye Ziyi and the prince.

  But anyway, my sister finally got her wish fulfilled, and its always a good thing to see lovers end up together.

  Because Yuer was pregnant, the wedding date was set on the earliest auspicious day, which was ten days later.

  In these ten days, the entire Murong family was in an uproar, after all, time was too tight and there were too many preparations to be made.

  My mother came to see me once, and although she couldnt hide the joy in her eyes, she still couldnt put it down, with threads of worry. I knew she was afraid that things would change again.

  Fortunately, the things we worried about did not happen. Tomorrow is the day of Ruo Ers big wedding. Among all the relatives in the clan, only I can enter the East Palace to offer congratulations, but still as the third princess consort.

  I watched as Good Fortunes hand moved a jade comb slowly through the glossy black hair that cascaded down like silk, just like it was the eve of my wedding.

  Till death us do part, I will be with you till the end; holding your hand, growing old together.

  This is the most sincere prayer of women in the world.

  This may be something I can never achieve in this life, but I hope my sister can.

  The mother held the hand of the young girl, instructing her carefully. The girls face was as beautiful as a flower, serene and lovely, perhaps because she had experienced too much by now, so that her eyebrows and eyes did not show any particular shyness or surprise.

  "Sister," perhaps seeing me remain silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up and called out to me: "Are you doing well?"

  I was taken aback and looked at her as she softly asked: "Why did you ask that, Huaner?"

  She gazed at me intently, just about to speak, when I heard my mothers voice tinged with a sigh: "Qinger, you may not know, its not just your father and I, but even Tanger has been blaming himself all along. We all feel guilty towards you."

  My heart was moved and sour, I forced a smile and said: "If my parents and sister are worried about me, its my fault. The Third Prince has been very good to me, and everything has gone smoothly for me in the Third Princes mansion. As a family, whats the point of talking about whether we owe each other or not? Are you intentionally trying to make me sad?"

  She looked at me and smiled faintly: "On the wedding night, I let you guard the empty room alone, and even when I returned to my parents home, I let you be alone. Is this also good in your sisters eyes?"

  "Xiaoer!" Her mothers face was not pleasant, and her voice also carried a hint of anger.

  Yuer didnt say anything else and her gaze faintly shifted towards the window outside.

  I comforted my mother by holding her hand and smiled: "Things happen for a reason, the prince is also helpless, I can understand. All things in this world have their own destiny, each person has their own fate, which is predetermined by heaven, and cannot be forced. Besides, I am not as miserable as you think, to be honest, the three princes have treated me quite well."

  Although these words are meant to comfort them, they are also true.

  Apart from love, Nan Chengyao has never been stingy with me. Everything I use and take out in the Mo Secret Chamber is the best in this world.

  He treated me with great indulgence, never restricting my behavior in any way. Although this may be because he simply didnt care, on that day when I told him I wanted to return to the manor to attend the wedding of a certain person, he smiled lazily and said: "You can do whatever you want, theres no need to ask for my permission every time. Besides, even if something did happen, as the princess consort of Nan Chengyao, not many people would dare say anything against me."

  At that moment, I thought I was grateful to him.

  Mother hadnt said anything yet, but Huaner turned around and looked at me with a faint smile: "Everyone has their own destiny, its also what can be said."

  I was just about to say something when she suddenly asked me: "Sister, will you come with the Third Prince to the Eastern Palace tomorrow for the ceremony?"

  I smiled and nodded: "Of course, Im waiting to see the most beautiful new bride in this world."

  Her mother also laughed: "Dont praise her anymore, if you continue to praise her, this little girl will really become arrogant."

  "While saying that, she glanced at the sky outside the window: "Its not early anymore, Qinger, you should also return to the Wang Fu. Ill send you out and let Yaner sleep early too, so her mood will be better tomorrow."

  I smiled and stood up with my mother, before leaving, I couldnt help but turn around and lightly hug Rouer.

  Maybe one day we will head in opposite directions, but its not certain.

  But now she can marry into the princes mansion, which is undoubtedly the greatest blessing for the entire Murong family.

  The struggle for the throne will not change because of us, so no matter who wins or loses, at least one of us, Yuer and I, can ensure the safety of our family.

  She didnt say a word either, I dont know if she was thinking the same thing as me. She quietly hugged me for a moment, then stood at the gate of the small courtyard, seeing my mother and me off into the distance.
