Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
But her father was just a bastard of the Ling family, and his status in the Ling family was already low.
Her father was away from home most of the year, and she often witnessed her mother being bullied. The mistress of the Ling family had never treated her mother well.
When she was five years old, her mother passed away suddenly. She was too young at that time and she didn’t understand how such a strong and tenacious mother could leave the world so suddenly.
She was so weak that she could only barely survive in the Ling family.
However, after her mother passed away, her life in the Ling family only became more difficult.
All the legitimate daughters of the Ling family looked down on her.
No one gave her protection for two whole years, and she gradually became inferior and cowardly.
When she was seven years old, when her father finally came home to visit, she begged him to take her with him.
She didn't want to stay in the capital, a place where she couldn't feel any love at all.
After arriving in the frontier, her father was a general with some power, although her life was not as refined and elegant as that of the young ladies in the capital.
But the love her father gave her and the free and unrestrained atmosphere outside the Great Wall made her feel incomparable happiness.
She became cheerful and confident, and her eyes were always bright.
When she was fifteen years old, the seventeen-year-old prince led his troops to the frontier with high spirits.
His elegant and dashing appearance is unforgettable.
She often heard her father praising the prince, saying that he was brave and resourceful, and was a rare talent.
Once, her father followed the prince to attack foreign enemies again. After returning victoriously, one of her father's men hurriedly told her that her father was injured.
She was anxious to see her injured father, so she hurriedly disguised herself as a man and entered the tent.
The soldiers under her father's command had almost all watched her grow up since she was a child, so they did not try to stop her.
It was also during this time that she met the young prince.
At first sight, you'll be ruined for life.
Perhaps this sentence is the most appropriate to describe her.
The prince had a cold and aloof look on his face at that time. When they met for the first time, they only exchanged two brief sentences.
After that, every time the prince returned victorious from a battle, Ling Yue would take the initiative to "encounter" him with full anticipation.
Again and again.
Because every time he won a battle, he would go to the vast grassland to ride his horse to his heart's content, and he would also go to the desert to ride a camel in a leisurely manner.
Later, as they became more familiar with each other, she often joined him with great joy.
She remembered that she had curiously asked Jun Zechen at that time, since he often rode horses during wars, why did he also ride horses during rest time?
At that time, the prince raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and gave her an answer: Riding a horse itself is not important, what is important is the place where you ride a horse.
Grasslands and deserts are unique to the areas beyond the Great Wall.
Jun Zechen just liked the freedom and unruliness here very much. Of course, he also liked Ling Yue who accompanied him in horse racing at that time.
In this vast and free world, a special feeling is growing between the two people.
She was the one who took the initiative to continue her relationship with the prince.
Ling Yue has always been very clear that it is impossible that the prince has only one woman.
But when the prince solemnly promised her that they would be together for the rest of their lives, she was really very happy.
She had never thought that the prince would give up all the beauties for her.
She was deeply moved by this deep affection, and her young girl's heart could no longer be controlled.
Jun Zechen always believed that she deeply loved the outskirts of the Great Wall and loved the unrestrained freedom.
Yes, she did.
But she liked him more, including his identity.
After the prince returned to the court, he proposed to marry her without hesitation.
So, she returned from the frontier in glory to the capital city where luxury was everywhere.
And just as she expected, the Ling family in the capital city shamelessly came forward.
The head of the Ling family said hypocritically that the Ling family would be her solid backing in the future and they were a loving family.
Haha, how is this possible!
Ling Yue never thought that he and the Ling family were a family.
Ever since her father resolutely took her away, she has separated from the main family.
So many years have passed, and the Ling family has ignored them.
Now that she had become the Crown Princess, they came up to her eagerly.
There was only endless pride in her heart.
At that time, she was high and mighty and rejected them decisively.
She once told the Ling family with great certainty that Ling Yue did not need the Ling family's support or any help from them.
Because the prince is her most powerful supporter!
The Ling family, which was already gradually going downhill in the capital, could only turn around and leave in disgrace when they saw that Ling Yue was not willing to speak well of the Ling family in front of the prince.
At this moment, Ling Yue had to admit that she overestimated Jun Zechen's love for her.
In the two years since she married Jun Zechen, she had lost herself in his meticulous care and indulged in the unique love he gave her.
The women in the harem without the support of their families are like floating duckweed. Once they lose his favor, they will have nothing.
Therefore, in addition to holding on to Jun Zechen's remaining love for her, she also had to hold on to power.
Everyone in the harem is extremely terrifying.
But she will never give up easily.
The throne of queen will be hers.
Even if Jun Zechen no longer likes her or loves her in the end, she must be his wife and queen.
This was the promise he had made to her.
Since he couldn't do what he said, she had to do it on her own.
Ling Yue's eyes revealed firmness and determination.
