“When I was very young, my older sister was more favored than me. But no matter what good things she got, she would always share half with me.”
Later, we both grew up. I heard people praising me for being prettier than my sister and for being more obedient, so my sister stopped liking me. At that time, she just didn't like playing with me; I never even considered the matter of her taking my place in the marriage.” She shook her head. “I always knew my future husband was Prince De, but Fu Zige tricked me into marrying Prince Yi, whom she had always longed for. Even if Shangguan Li didn't like me, she shouldn't have treated me that way. In the end, although we got together, and everyone said we were happy, I didn't believe it. I know he still hasn't let go of Fu Zige; sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and hear him calling that name.”
What happened to the harmonious and loving relationship we were promised? There's actually this side to the story?
After finishing her sentence, Fu Ziwu looked at Lu Qingyan and said, "I know you won't have any more entanglements with Shangguan Li. But I have one more request, and I hope you can do it. I hope you can save Prince De's life and prevent him from being so easily harmed by that poisonous woman, Fu Zige. It's my misfortune not to marry him, but he's a good man!"
Lu Qingyan nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely not have anything to do with Shangguan Li, and I will definitely help you protect Prince De."
"Thank you," Fu Ziwu said softly. The black aura around her quickly dissipated, and she disappeared from this world.
Lu Qingyan took a deep breath, wishing she could rush over and take care of Fu Zige right now.
But it's impossible for her to do that now while still in the bridal sedan chair.
The sounds of music and firecrackers were still going off outside, creating a lively atmosphere.
As soon as the bridal sedan chair stopped, Lu Qingyan heard a cheerful voice outside say, "Princess Consort, we have arrived at the Prince's residence."
Lu Qingyan pinched her palm and sighed, "Just as I thought." One was Prince De, and the other was Prince Yi. No matter which one she married, she would be a princess consort in name only. The matchmaker's explanation was so vague, no wonder the original owner couldn't tell the difference.
If the original owner had noticed something was wrong at that time, they could have salvaged the situation sooner.
Prince Yi was unwell, but Fu Zige was the princess he had sought, and he desperately wanted to personally welcome her. Holding one end of the red silk ribbon, Lu Qingyan swayed as she walked out and leaned against the matchmaker.
The matchmaker whispered in Lu Qingyan's ear, "Your Highness, I know you're tired, but so many people are watching. You need to cheer up, or you'll become a laughingstock."
Lu Qingyan remained leaning against the wall without making a sound.
The matchmaker said a few more words, but seeing that Lu Qingyan did not react, she stopped talking and instead summoned a maid to continue supporting Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan frowned. It seemed that this matchmaker had also conspired with Fu Zige.
The Emperor happened to be free today and was sitting in the high hall. The officiant, seeing that it was almost time, nodded to the matchmaker and announced loudly, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Shangguan Li looked tenderly at Lu Qingyan, who was covered with a bright red veil, and waited for her to bend down together.
Then, as expected, Lu Qingyan collapsed. The wind blowing in from outside lifted the veil off her head because of her movement.
"Princess Consort!" someone exclaimed.
"Ah?! The Princess Consort, the Princess Consort has changed?" Those who knew the two Fu sisters were even more surprised.
