The night is peaceful, the years are quiet, the air is especially good after the storm, there is no wind or rain tonight, the moonlight is bright and soft, on the roof, a slender figure is shrouded in the moonlight, it is very quiet.
It’s Qin Ye.
She sat on it, crossed her legs lazily, supported her hands behind her back, looking at the full moon above her head. In the distance were the lights of thousands of homes, the bustle and life, and all kinds of people. Her heart was exceptionally peaceful and tranquil.
Leave the Imperial Master's Mansion and hide here to relax.
When she calmed down, her heart was also at peace.
She had an illusion that the luxurious and grand marriage banquet was not prepared for her.
The person that Prince Chen wants to marry is not her.
She was enjoying all these treatments because of another woman, but perhaps the only one who treated her well was her brother.
Far away, someone was shouting:
"Princess, where are you!"
"Princess……"
Some people were holding lanterns and looking everywhere; some were shouting loudly; some were running anxiously into the alleys, shops and houses to ask other people.
She opened her mouth, wanted to speak, but stopped.
Just want quiet.
I closed my eyes and lay on the roof. Just as I adjusted my posture, a hoarse voice sounded in the air:
"Why did you get here?"
Qin Ye paused slightly.
The air moved slightly, bringing a cool breeze that penetrated into her nostrils. A shadow descended and covered her body.
She opened her eyes and saw Zong Zhengchen, "You..."
The man walked straight forward, sat beside her, and naturally grasped her waist with his long arms, holding her in his arms. It was a very natural movement, as if he had done it thousands of times before.
"Are you in a bad mood?" He touched her hair and asked patiently.
"I……"
She bit her lower lip, some words on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know where to start, "Zong Zhengchen, you should have seen the letter I left, right? I have made up my mind, don't ask me anymore."
She is not getting married anymore.
She wanted to stay in Nanyuan Country and stay with Ling Yixing.
Zong Zhengchen looked at her silently, not angry or questioning, but slowly explained the reason to her, "What's the reason?"
"Is it a reason that I can't bear to leave my brother?"
"That's not an excuse," he said. "All good things must come to an end. Even if you are brother and sister, he will get married in the near future. He will have his own family and children. The only person who can accompany you till old age is your spouse."
Qin Ye knew this truth.
She had to get married sooner or later. On the one hand, she was reluctant to leave her brother, but on the other hand, she felt very upset and uncomfortable.
She knew that Prince Chen was a man of temperament, so she did not hesitate to say the following words:
"I don't think I'm the one you're going to marry."
"Although I share the same name as Princess Chen, that is not me. Your Majesty, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince, it is not me who should apologize. You regard me as a substitute for Princess Chen."
This is the real reason why she doesn't want to marry.
She doesn't want to be anyone's replacement, she is herself.
“Just because of this?” Zong Zhengchen’s originally serious face suddenly turned into laughter as he spoke, “Why are you always jealous of yourself? You don’t like yourself, you really…”
"stupid!"
He smiled helplessly, "Ye, you have lost a part of your memory. Although you can't remember it now, sooner or later there will be a day when you will remember it. You are the Princess Chen, and the Princess Chen is you. The person I want to marry is only you from the beginning to the end."
Qin Ye felt that this was a bit confusing and she couldn't understand it.
"I am not Princess Chen. We just have the same name. I have never given birth to a child and I have never met you before. You put your thoughts about your deceased wife on me. You should be the one who wakes up."
