With her wedding day approaching, her fiancé, Lu Yun, preferred to shave his head and become a monk rather than marry Qi Yuning. Princess Qi instantly became the laughingstock of Shengjing.
...
"You are no longer Prince Lu since you became a monk." Qi Yuning said coldly, "If you don't want to marry me, you can ask His Majesty to withdraw the order when the marriage was granted, instead of becoming a monk when the wedding is so close!"
Without waiting for Lu Yun to explain, Qi Yuning slapped him on the other side of the face.
Qi Yuning's voice was still icy cold: "This marriage was arranged by your Lu family. You went back on your word. If you had canceled the engagement to save face for both of us, it would have been fine. But you actually became a monk and humiliated me. I will remember the humiliation your Lu family has inflicted on me today!"
Qi Yuning turned to look at the abbot standing beside her, "Master Abbot, since Lu Yun has become a monk, please let him behave like a good monk. If this princess finds even a drop of oil or a hint of meat in his dishes..."
The abbot said respectfully, "Don't worry, my princess. There is no meat or greasy food in Xianglin Temple. There is only rice bran and the cabbage grown in the temple's vegetable garden."
"That's best!"
Qi Yuning glared at Lu Yun fiercely, flicked his sleeves and left, and met Lu Baozhu who had hurried over outside the Buddhist temple.
Seeing Qi Yuning's sullen expression, Lu Baozhu repeatedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Lu Yun was so confused. I really didn't want you to become a laughing stock after being broken off. Don't be so angry."
Seeing Qi Yuning's face full of anger, Lu Baozhu said: "At worst, I can give you my elder brother as compensation. My elder brother is much better than Lu Yun. Have you ever heard of marrying a man and marrying Lu Shizi?
My brother is the most handsome man in Shengjing. He holds an official position of Junior Official of the Dali Temple at a young age. As the son of a princess and the grandson of your Majesty's Empress, he's no less virtuous than you. My brother and you are a perfect match. If you marry, my nephews and nieces will surely be of extraordinary appearances..."
Qi Yuning said angrily, "Shut up."
…
Not far from Longhua Mountain.
Two fine horses rode together, and the two young men riding on them were both outstanding in appearance. The silver saddles shone on the white horses, and they galloped like meteors.
After riding their horses, the two handsome men stopped to rest in front of a teahouse and tied their horses under a tree.
Qi Yu'an poured a cup of tea for the man in front of him and said, "Master Lu, I never thought that our two families would have the opportunity to get married. Ningning has been arrogant since she was young. I hope you will be more tolerant of me if I marry your brother and come to your princess's mansion!"
Lu Ze took the tea and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The princess is the descendant of a loyal and brave man. When she enters our Lu family, my parents will take good care of her and will not let her suffer any injustice."
The two of them paused for a moment and heard people talking about Princess Qi nearby.
The princess's arrogant fiancé would rather become a monk than marry her, and Princess Qi would become an abandoned woman and would never be able to get married in the future, and so on.
The more Qi Yu'an listened, the more he frowned, and the look he gave Lu Ze beside him became more and more unfriendly.
From the scattered discussions, Lu Ze also learned that his devilish brother actually dared to become a monk and refuse marriage?
There is a saying in Shengjing City that one would rather pluck the hairs off the Crown Prince than touch Princess Qi in the slightest!
His foolish brother actually became a monk in order to avoid marrying Princess Qi...
Lu Zelian said, "Brother Prince Qi, I will let Lu Yun return to secular life and marry Princess Qi."
Qi Yu'an said coldly, "Lu Yun doesn't want to marry me, and my Qi family won't rush me. But from now on, our Qi and Lu families will be sworn enemies!"
Lu Ze was furious with his silly brother and said, "Prince Qi, our Lu family will definitely give an explanation to Prince Qi's mansion on this matter. I will go to Xianglin Temple now."
Xianglin Temple is on Longhua Mountain. In a moment, Lu Ze whipped his horse and arrived at the gate of Xianglin Temple.
She saw two young and beautiful women standing together. One of them was her sister Lu Baozhu, and the other was a young girl wearing a bright red wedding dress. She had a peerless appearance, was noble and cold, and was the famous Princess Qi in Shengjing City.
Lu Ze dismounted and approached, and heard Lu Baozhu's voice.
"Qi Yuning, don't you really want to consider my elder brother? My elder brother has a bright future..."
Before Lu Baozhu could finish, Qi Yuning said angrily, "Lu Baozhu, I, Qi Yuning, can't get married? If my brother becomes a monk, I have to marry my brother. If my brother is like this, how can I be a good person?"
Lu Ze dismounted, walked up to Qi Yuning, bowed, and said, "Princess Qi."
