"Husband?"

Sang Jueqian repeated these two words.

Although the voice was soft, it expressed something intriguing.

"Who is your husband?" Sang Jueqian asked this question while turning her head to look at the person who had just spoken.

The woman was sitting not far away. She looked over with her eyebrows raised, her eyes critical and sharp.

She looks pretty good and dresses very gorgeously.

But the expression on her face at this moment destroyed some of the beauty and made her look too aggressive.

Sang Jueqian was looking at her when she snorted coldly, "Don't ask questions when you already know the answer. My husband is naturally the prince. Who else could it be?"

"Yeah?"

Sang Jueqian raised the last part of his voice and looked towards Li Junyan, "Are you married already?"

Li Junyan looked at Sang Jueqian with a smile on his face, but his words were extremely firm.

"The goddess doesn't allow it, so I dare not marry her."

These eight simple words made the woman, who had just been so complacent, turn pale as paper in an instant.

“Your Majesty…what do you mean by this?

It was the Emperor who arranged a marriage between you and me. Everyone in Chang'an knows that I am here to marry you.

The wedding procession was huge and traveled across most of the Zhou Dynasty.

If you don't accept the order and don't get married, how will the world view me? How will they laugh at me?"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, her voice choked with sobs and tears welled up in her eyes.

The whole person no longer looked as arrogant as before, nor did he look superior.

She was like a child who had suffered a great injustice.

Sang Jueqian originally had no feelings for her, and even when he knew that the emperor had given her to Li Junyan as the Princess of Chen, he did not take it to heart.

She knew that Li Junyan would not marry anyone else.

But now, after hearing her series of accusations, Sang Jueqian realized that this arranged marriage was not just a matter for Li Junyan's family.

The woman in front of me is also involved.

Li Junyan is the Prince of Chen and a man, so even if he really refuses the marriage, it will not have much impact on his reputation.

But for women, it is completely different.

After being rejected in marriage, the family would think that she has brought shame to the family and would be ashamed of her.

Everyone in the world who knew about this marriage would think that she had no talent, no virtue, and no ability, which was why she was not liked by the Prince of Chen and was rejected by him.

A woman who was granted marriage by the emperor, a woman who traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an to Tingzhou, but was rejected by the prince, does she still have a way to survive in this feudal dynasty?

Although Sang Jueqian himself was not from this dynasty, he had never experienced it firsthand.

But over the years, Sang Jueqian has read many novels, movies and TV shows.

She could probably guess what kind of situation such a woman would face in the future and what kind of life she would have.

Even though Sang Jueqian knew in her heart that this matter was not her fault, nor was it Li Junyan's fault, and the fault lay with the emperor who had arranged the couple's marriage, neither she nor Li Junyan could be said to be completely innocent.

The most important thing is, what should we do to solve this problem perfectly?

Or in other words, is there really a perfect way to solve this problem?

The more Sang Jueqian thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed, and the paler his face became.

She had never thought about it before.

Now that this matter has suddenly happened in front of her, she really doesn't know how to face it.

Seeing Sang Jueqian's face becoming increasingly worse, Li Junyan became extremely worried. "Qianqian! What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Sang Jueqian came back to his senses after hearing this and was about to speak when the woman next to him spoke again.

“Before I even arrived in Tingzhou, I heard that the prince’s goddess had shown mercy and bestowed upon her many miraculous gifts. Not only did she provide water and food for the people of Tingzhou and Xizhou, but she also enabled them to earn money and support themselves, and the women were able to go to school.

I heard that the goddess also wanted to build a textile factory and an embroidery workshop to allow women to be independent and support themselves, and no longer be confined to the small piece of land in the backyard.

The goddess even came down from heaven and stayed by the prince's side, giving him advice and helping him build Tingzhou and Xizhou.

You follow the prince and he is so concerned and kind to you, so you must be a goddess, right?"

Sang Jueqian looked at her quietly, unable to figure out what she wanted to say.

She just said a series of words, most of which were praising herself.

It seems like there is nothing wrong, but when I think about it carefully, I feel like something is wrong.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard her speak again, "The goddess is so kind and virtuous, the prince will surely respect her sincerely and listen to her in everything.

But, did the goddess actually want to interfere in the prince's marriage? The emperor has already granted the marriage. Even if it is for the good of the prince and the people of Tingzhou and Xizhou, the goddess should let the prince get married properly. Why doesn't she allow it?

Could it be that the goddess is also attached to the mortal world?

Or did the goddess help the prince in the beginning because she had a crush on him, and used the people as bait to lure the prince into her trap little by little?

Are you really a goddess? Or are you just using the title of goddess as a cover, and are you really just a seductress obsessed with beauty?

"shut up!"

Li Junyan shouted harshly, his face as cold as ice, "Who allowed you to speak to the goddess like that?"

Li Junyan's sudden anger did not scare her.

She raised her face, with a stubborn expression and a resolute gaze, “Even if the prince is angry, I will still speak.

Your Highness is the Prince of the Great Zhou, and now he is also the vassal king of Tingzhou and Xizhou. You should put the people of the two states first.
