What kind of magical story is this? I even have a role in it! I suppressed my restless thoughts and listened attentively to the story.
"And then, tell us quickly!" The crowd below, intrigued, asked in unison.
"The woman named Luo Qingyi claimed to be the daughter of Luo Mingfeng from the Luo family of Minchuan. She was twenty-two years old and had saved the Crown Prince's life four years ago on Qian Ting Mountain in Minchuan. She was the Crown Prince's savior, and at that time, His Highness the Crown Prince personally promised that he would use the mountains and rivers as a matchmaker and the country as a dowry, with a ten-mile-long red procession, to marry her."
"So she is the Crown Prince's fiancée, and the position of Crown Princess was originally promised to her by His Highness the Crown Prince. Her coming to steal the bride is perfectly legitimate."
"It's unimaginable that our arrogant and aloof Crown Prince would say such affectionate words. If my dim-witted son could learn even a little from the Crown Prince, I would be willing to die."
"Sister Chen, please don't say that. Your Wen Xun is so much better than my husband. If you keep saying that, I'd like to remarry."
"The stories in novels are not necessarily true."
"No way, I have to bring my wife along another day to listen to it again. Even her sweet talk sounds so corny. She needs to learn from her."
At this point, the newlywed women in the audience, still basking in the sweetness of their marriages, began to complain about their husbands who were being compared to the worst. I, however, couldn't recall ever hearing Ji Ruchen say these words to me.
If it's true that I kidnapped the bride, then Luo Qingyun must know something about it, since she said I disguised myself as a musician to kidnap the bride. If I'm not mistaken, this statement should be half true and half false. In other words, I've been suffering from amnesia for more than half a year, Ji Ruchen got married half a year ago, and I even went to kidnap the bride. How is that possible?
Would Ji Ruchen really marry someone he's never even met, for the sake of his country's interests? Even though she's supposedly the most beautiful woman in Anguo, how can you be sure she's truly beautiful without ever having met her? Is it possible? Judging from how busy he is with the peace between the two countries, it seems plausible.
Then I, Luo Qingyi, will be willing to antagonize the royal families of two countries and the long-awaited peaceful and prosperous world for the sake of a man, and I will even drag my father into it.
Am I that stupid? Impossible, absolutely impossible. But that man is Ji Ruchen. Is it possible? Yes, it is.
I don't know if it's because of bad feng shui here, but sand suddenly got into my eyes, and tears started streaming down my face uncontrollably.
“Weren’t you pretending to be quite happy? What’s wrong? You can’t stand it now. Keep listening,” Luo Qingyun said.
"Everyone's first reaction was naturally that it was impossible. His Highness the Crown Prince was very precious, how could he have been to a place like Minchuan, which was poor and desolate? But after the woman reminded them, they thought about it carefully and realized that he really had been there. In the nineteenth year of Zhenghe, Guantai Prefecture suffered a severe drought, and among the surrounding counties, Minchuan was the most severely affected."
Under the pretext of training the heir apparent, the late Empress Dowager dispatched the Crown Prince to provide disaster relief. To demonstrate the imperial family's seriousness about the disaster, she specifically instructed him to visit the most severely affected counties to offer condolences and comfort to the people. Minchuan was one of the hardest-hit counties, and the Crown Prince had to go there to fulfill his mission. However, halfway through his visit, the Crown Prince disappeared. He did not return to the capital until the disaster situation stabilized and the Empress Dowager passed away.
He was injured during that time and it took him almost six months to recover after returning to Beijing. I'm sure everyone has heard about this.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"In that case, what the woman said must be true. The guests at court were all discussing it."
