Resentment in the Spring Mansion

[Manuscript Completed] Encountering him again after many years, the gentle and refined Crown Prince sighed with a smile, "You have changed a lot."

She was no longer willful and arrogant, becoming quiet and gentle.

Jiang Yinyue remained silent, recalling how she was kicked out of the picture back then...

She used to be a proud daughter of a prominent family, the Crown Prince's childhood sweetheart. Relying on his favor, she was overbearing and arrogant, making the old emperor blow his beard in anger.

Rather than choosing her as the royal daughter-in-law, he would settle for second best and pick the daughter of a low-ranking official who was knowledgeable, well-behaved, and polite.

It could also be considered a beautiful story.

The Crown Prince's marriage negotiation was extremely grand. Everyone praised the couple as a perfect match of talent and beauty, overcoming difficulties with a love stronger than gold.

Jiang Yinyue became a laughingstock. Everyone laughed at her for being indulged into destruction by the Crown Prince all along, foolishly serving as a foil for the daughter of the low-ranking official.

The daughter of the low-ranking official was the treasure the Crown Prince wanted to hold in the palm of his hand.

"Yinyue, I can grant you a marriage. You can choose any talented and handsome man in the court."

Was this compensation?

Jiang Yinyue felt a lump in her throat, her hopes completely dashed.

Confined to her home, she was repeatedly scolded by her father for being useless. In a fit of temper, she chose to marry down to a poor scholar.

Life was as plain as water.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed. She accompanied her husband to a local post. Along the way, they got separated. In her disheveled state, she accidentally met the Crown Prince on his southern tour.

The Crown Prince, still as elegant and refined as ever, planned to have a deep talk with Jiang Yinyue to make up for past debts. However, a handsome and elegant man rushed over in a hurry.

Wei Qin held Jiang Yinyue's hand, full of worry. "I'm sorry, I'm late, my wife."

Jiang Yinyue was stunned. She had never seen him so flustered. In her memory, Wei Qin had always been self-disciplined, polite, and calm.

The Crown Prince looked at the two of them quietly. His gaze fell on their clasped hands, and he felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.

He never imagined that there would come a day when he would humbly beg Jiang Yinyue to return to his side.

Ancient Language Advance Reservation "The Beauty in the Palm":

Li Huan was the daughter of a merchant. Due to a childhood marriage arranged by her grandparents, she married Shen Junlan, a gentle and elegant Minister of Justice.

The Shen family was a high-ranking household. Li Huan was constrained by family rules and demanded by relatives, not living comfortably.

She thought she would be suppressed forever, but unexpectedly, the Shen family was raided and executed, involving the whole clan.

Fearing being implicated, Li Huan sized up the situation and forcefully obtained a divorce letter, planning to live under a false identity.

She would never forget the disdain in Shen Junlan's eyes.

The following spring, Li Huan met a hunter.

Ruthless and taciturn, tall and cold.

Li Huan confessed her past. "I was married before."

The man raised his eyes lightly and threw her onto the bed.

Li Huan was terrified of this man, but she lived a stable life with simple food and tea.

Until she heard that the Shen family's raid was just a temporary strategy to eliminate dissent.

Fearing that Shen Junlan would take revenge, Li Huan wanted the hunter to take her further away.

"Shen Junlan and I had an arranged marriage without feelings. The one I have set my heart on is you."

The man gave her a cold glare.

Li Huan had no choice but to use all her means to coax the man for the whole night.

Her breath was fragrant like an orchid, and her body was fragrant.

The next day, before dawn, Li Huan, all packed up, wanted to wake the man, but she saw Shen Junlan, who had removed his hunter disguise, slowly getting up.

He appreciated her panic.

"Tell me, where did you want to escape to, my wife?"
