Chapter 363 Prenuptial Agreement? Chasing Wife to the Crematorium

He Zhaojun was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch the mask on her face. "Your Highness... Third Prince, you are so rash in asking for my hand in marriage. Have you ever considered what would happen if I were unvirtuous and ugly, and therefore not the right bride for you?"

The Fifth Prince, who was still unaware of her true identity, shook his head repeatedly. "Everyone says that the Saint of Nanyue is naturally beautiful, intelligent, and courageous. Your skin is a little dark, but you are definitely a beautiful woman. I think you are on par with He Zhaojun."

He Zhaojun dropped her hand suddenly. Why was everyone talking about how wonderful this He Zhaojun was? She was incredibly beautiful and had made great military achievements, but what did that have to do with Zhao Jun?

At this point, He Zhaojun was already stuck in a rut. Everyone kept saying she looked like someone. They were praising that woman's achievements, imposing all of this on her, expressing their love to her with endless expectations.

In Lingnan, it was the exact opposite. She wore the title of Princess Zhao Jun, but she was truly herself. No one would call her Zhao Hu's sister, they just called her Jun'er. The love she received came from her contributions.

Now, without this appearance, does that mean she has lost her value as a woman?

Perhaps those who know the truth will be amused and even feel that He Zhaojun, who now believes that she and Princess Ancheng are not the same person, is really confused.

"Okay, then let's put everything behind us: my past and your appearance." But only Wen Ziduan understood He Zhaojun's true intention from her hesitation. "Let's start over, okay?"

"Since you haven't chosen a partner yet and need a son-in-law to strengthen the relationship between Central Plains and South Vietnam, I don't mind being your partner. If one day you truly find someone you love and want to be with him/her forever, and want to leave... I, I will never stop you."

He lowered his head, leaned close to He Zhaojun's ear, and whispered a suggestion in a humble and sincere manner. After he finished speaking, he extended his hand to He Zhaojun and waited for her answer.

The hall fell into silence. Everyone except He Zhaojun knew how much courage Wen Ziduan needed to say such words - he wanted to clear all the unforgettable stories of the past and make He Zhaojun fall in love with him again.

Although he said that he would not stop He Zhaojun if she fell in love with someone else during this process, he would not allow this to happen. After all, he had always used any means necessary when it came to He Zhaojun.

He Zhaojun glanced at the fifth prince who was completely at a loss as to what to do, and at several other princes who were looking around and refusing to meet her gaze. She then glanced at Wen Ziduan who was kneeling beside her, and she subconsciously swallowed.

Apart from anything else, Wen Ziduan was the one whose appearance best met her aesthetic standards among all the princes. Furthermore, the solution he proposed coincided with her ideas.

"Then, after we get married, we will sleep in separate rooms." He Zhaojun bit her lip and began to put forward conditions.

Wen Ziduan glanced at Emperor Wen and said, "There are spies from the palace in the mansion. Separating the rooms will cause trouble. However, I can sleep in the warm room and you can sleep on the bed."

He Zhaojun nodded: "You can't restrict my freedom. I can go wherever I want, and I can meet whoever I want, regardless of gender. It's up to me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"There will be no wedding banquet. I will just find a painter to draw a portrait and have someone bring it back to South Vietnam."

"...Okay, I'll do as you say."

He Zhaojun hadn't expected that Wen Ziduan would agree to her terms without even a second thought. Things went surprisingly smoothly, so He Zhaojun made up her mind and asked Emperor Wen and Concubine Yue, still a little uncertain, "Your Majesty, may I marry the Third Prince?"
