In an inn dozens of miles away from the capital.
The team escorting the eldest princess back to the capital rested here for a day.
"What did you say? He Anping is already married? Well, he dared to lie to me!"
After hearing the report from the servant, the eldest princess' face was filled with displeasure and she flew into a rage.
She waved her hand and threw all the jewelry and jade items within her reach, scattering them all over the ground with a clanging sound.
The people who served her all looked as if they were used to it.
A large palace maid stepped forward and advised:
"Princess, calm down. You're precious, there's no need to get angry over those people. Besides, you were just playing around with that young General He. Now that you're back in the capital, there are all sorts of handsome men around. Just throw General He aside. You don't want to take him on as a consort, so why bother with him if he has a wife?"
This senior palace maid has been with the eldest princess since she was young, and she knows everything about her.
The eldest princess sneered and shook her head.
"I didn't intend to recruit him as my consort, but I also wouldn't allow him to deceive me."
"He Anping saved my life, and I've always remembered that kindness. Besides, the border is a barren, cold place, and it's rare to find a man with a gentle and handsome appearance. So, I'm still a little moved by him."
"So, this time I believed him and didn't send anyone to investigate his family background. I didn't expect that this time, I would end up in trouble."
The senior palace maid said, "Yes, General He has betrayed your trust."
The eldest princess's eyes were sinister. "Be my man, before you meet me, you can't have other women. Let alone marrying and having children, you can't even have a girl you like."
"They have to be a clean slate emotionally before they get together with me."
The head maid blinked and asked, "Princess, what are you going to do?"
The eldest princess looked stern, "What can I do? What can I do? Help him erase his emotional history!"
"What about General He?"
The eldest princess raised her chin slightly, her expression arrogant, "He? Of course he will die with his wife."
People only know that the eldest princess is arrogant and domineering, but they don’t know that she secretly likes all kinds of handsome men.
A scholar as gentle as jade, a gentleman with a cool temperament, a talented man with both literary and martial skills...
As long as he is handsome and catches her eye, she will find a way to make him fall in love with her.
After the novelty wore off, she would give those people some benefits, such as arranging a good place for them to live, or giving them generous amounts of gold, jade and silver to let them leave.
Both sides benefited, and since the eldest princess had a noble status and a reputation for being spoiled, no man would tell anyone about this.
He Anping didn't know that he had been with the princess for three years, wanting to marry her, but in fact, he was just one of the princess's many male favorites.
"Princess, do you want to ask General He about getting married?" asked the head palace maid.
The princess sat down, her eyes narrowed slightly, her chin propped up, and she said slowly, "No need. I'll find out after I return to the capital."
"What can we get out of him by calling him here? All we'll do is watch him kneel on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and act out a scene."
"I can guess what he's saying. It's just that his parents chose his wife, and he has no feelings for her."
"He didn't tell me the truth because he cared about me too much and was afraid of losing me."
"I'm the only one in his heart. He'll divorce his wife when he gets home."
The princess shook her head slightly, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Men are just like that. When a woman catches them doing something wrong, they don't even need to put on makeup; they can turn into famous actors and put on a wonderful show for you!"
"Princess, General He wants to see you." The palace maid outside the door reported.
"Now that he's here, let him in." The eldest princess stood up and gave the order.
The door opened and He Anping came in.
"I am guilty." After he came in, he knelt down and knocked his head to the ground, with his forehead touching the cold marble floor.
"Hmm?" The princess was momentarily surprised. "You've always been diligent and responsible. I can't imagine what crime you could have committed."
He Anping gritted his teeth and said, "Three years ago, I married a wife, but I never informed the princess. This is my fault."
The eldest princess' eyes darkened.
This He Anping is different from other men?
Over the past three years, he has been so sincere and affectionate that I even thought he was thinking of becoming a princess consort.
How come he confessed when we were almost in the capital?
The eldest princess' eyes flickered slightly, and she said deliberately:
"Anping, I don't mind. What I care about is the relationship between you and me. After returning to the capital, you can deal with your wife, and I will make you my consort. Okay?"
He Anping shook his head. "I am confessing to Your Highness that I will not be a consort. My wife has been waiting for three years. During these three years, she has served the elders with virtue and kindness. I cannot let her down."
"Are you serious?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows.
"Absolutely true." He Anping said firmly.
Looking at He Anping leaning forward with his head lowered, the eldest princess felt a special feeling in her heart.
Every time she got tired of playing and let the other person go.
But no man has taken the initiative to say he wants to leave.
The eldest princess' eyes were deep. She walked up to He Anping, drew out a sword and lifted his chin.
"You'd better think carefully. My position as a consort is of high status. This position is something that many noble families would beg for. Glory and wealth are within your reach. Are you going to give up the position of consort for an ordinary woman?"
He Anping thought to himself, if he hadn't lived his life over again, how would he know that the eldest princess was just using him to entertain herself?
