"Why don't you go back and tell His Majesty that he is kind-hearted and understanding, and will surely withdraw the decree?"

Suddenly, tears welled up in the eyes of the spruce tree, whose head was bowed, and its nose was also red, making it look even more pitiful.

She clenched her fists, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her.

A father who has always been loyal and devoted would actually disobey an imperial decree because of his own desire to do so...

"My lord, do you think His Majesty doesn't know? This is the Empress Dowager's will. Your daughter has caught the Empress Dowager's eye and has risen to become the Crown Princess. Such a joyous occasion, and you actually want to defy the imperial decree?"

The eunuch's shrill voice, mixed with his mother's sobs, made Yunshan suppress her trembling and say hoarsely:

"I'll marry him."

The wedding date is set for the third day of the third lunar month, which is an auspicious day for marriage.

Dressed in a wedding gown, Yunshan sat in front of a bronze mirror, looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror. She curled her lips into a smile, which then immediately fell down.

The words of the Sun and Moon Goddess still echoed in my ears.

Do I like Wen Zhaobai?

It is often said in folk tales that when you like someone, you want to see them all the time, and your heart will flutter and your face will turn rosy every time you think of them.

I didn't feel that way when I saw Zhao Bai. The friendship we had grown up with was just a sense of familiarity and peace of mind.

He was overjoyed when he saw her, his eyes brimming with affection. Yunshan could foresee a future of happiness, peace, and smooth sailing after marrying someone who loved her.

Yesterday, he came to see me and even said he wanted to elope, but I refused without thinking. My excuse was that I was worried about my parents and the lives of dozens of people in the Wen family.

But she knew it was only because she didn't love him.
