The Imperial Concubine was not very surprised when she heard this, because Wan Ge and the others must have been told by the palace maids, so she did not deny it.
She nodded slightly and said, "After all, I've raised him like my own son for so long, it's inevitable that I feel a little disappointed."
Wan Ge reached out and hugged her, replying, "He's not good enough for someone as good as you. Some people's inherent flaws will never change."
Some people are simply influenced by their environment and lifestyle, but some are truly born bad. They take others' kindness for granted or suspect ulterior motives, and if they are treated badly, they hold a grudge and seek revenge without even realizing it.
The Imperial Concubine reached out and hugged Wan Ge. Wan Ge took out the amulet from her hand and told the Imperial Concubine that she had gone up the mountain to ask for it for her.
The Imperial Concubine held the amulet in her hand and said softly, "Thank goodness for you."
Wan Ge smiled and said, "Anyway, I will always stay with my aunt."
The Imperial Concubine patted her head, looking at the palace walls that had confined her all her life. Although the Emperor allowed her to go out occasionally, she could not deny that the palace walls were a shackle for her.
She doesn't regret her choice.
She knew that even if she didn't marry the emperor, her father and brother wouldn't allow her to be forced into a political marriage. However, the situation would be different then, as the emperor would definitely be dissatisfied with her brother and father.
So when the current emperor made that suggestion, she agreed. Of course, one reason was that she didn't want to implicate her brother and father, and another was their childhood friendship; she did indeed have feelings for the emperor.
Seeing the relationship between the emperor and empress, she gradually let go of her feelings for him and treated him only as a friend.
The emperor gave her the wealth and status that others pursue their whole lives, and he also gave her respect, so there's nothing wrong with that.
But... "Are you really sure? Are you sure you want to marry the Crown Prince?"
Wan Ge nodded: "The Crown Prince treats me very well."
"The Crown Prince treats you very well, but within these palace walls, you will lose a lot of freedom."
"Liking someone always requires some sacrifice." True love is about growing together and making each other better, but it's impossible to say that there's no sacrifice at all.
When there are conflicts, or when you are in a certain situation or making choices, you will inevitably have to pay a price. It's up to you to see whether it's worth it.
Consider whether you'll regret making this choice or be happy with it.
The Imperial Concubine didn't say anything more, but gently stroked her hair with tenderness.
Looking at the imperial concubine before her, Wan Ge gently nestled into her arms.
…
The wedding arrangements for Wan Ge and the others were made quickly. Xuan Yu's time was delayed a bit, and he was only sent away after watching Wan Ge marry the Crown Prince.
As Xuan Yu watched Wan Ge, dressed in her wedding gown, walk step by step toward the Crown Prince, he suddenly felt that he had truly lost something.
All I could think of were the little girl following me around calling me "brother," and how she carefully tended to my wounds when I was injured, even though I hadn't cried, the little girl had cried first.
At that time, he laughed at her for being a crybaby, but I knew in my heart that he was crying because he felt sorry for me.
Yes... Before it happened, his love for me was so pure, and in the end, I was not good enough for him.
Xuan Yu was so clear-headed not only because she realized she had completely lost Wan Ge's support, but also because of Jiang Jintang...
