Princess Xiao'an's Residence.
Singing and dancing girls performed, while palace maids and eunuchs, carrying various delicious fruits and snacks, knelt respectfully on the ground.
Princess Xiao'an watched the dancing girls with a bored expression, languidly leaning against the phoenix-patterned couch. Her light apricot-colored palace dress outlined her slender and graceful figure, and her bare feet were as white as porcelain, with shell nails stained with red nail polish.
An old woman hurriedly entered the hall.
"Your Highness, the Grand Commandant has arrived."
"Him?" Xiao'an immediately sat up straight in surprise, then looked at her clothes. "Quickly, help me change."
Fu Yunchen entered the princess's residence, ignoring the magnificent flowers and brocades inside, and went straight to the main hall.
Qiao Dongzi followed behind him, his face showing concern, and whispered, "Sir, should we think about it again?"
"There's no need to consider this anymore."
"But what if Your Majesty blames us?"
"Heh, Dongzi." Fu Yunchen stopped in his tracks. "Don't you miss your wife?"
"Please, sir! We should cut this entanglement off quickly." Qiao Dongzi immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
Fu Yunchen: "..."
Princess Xiao'an sat dignifiedly on the phoenix throne, dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe and crown, highlighting her noble status as a royal princess and the emperor's favor.
Fu Yunchen entered the hall and was slightly taken aback when he saw the dignified and noble Xiao'an.
But that moment of hesitation quickly turned into a resolute decision.
When Xiao'an looked into his eyes, she suddenly felt uneasy and wanted to run away immediately. But since she had been a princess who was high above others since childhood, apart from her father, she was the most noble person in the world. When would she ever run away!
"Why is the Prince Consort in such a hurry to see me? What urgent matter do you have to discuss?" The voice was indifferent and aloof.
Fu Yunchen reached out to Qiao Dongzi, "There is indeed something I need to tell the princess."
Qiao Dongzi took a sandalwood box out of his sleeve and handed it to Fu Yunchen. Then he bowed respectfully to Princess Xiao'an and left the hall.
Upon seeing this, the nanny beside Princess Xiao'an also withdrew.
Fu Yunchen opened the box and took out two contracts. One was a marriage contract, which he and Mu Run had obtained in Xiangcheng, bearing the red seal of the Xiangcheng Prefectural Government. The other was a divorce agreement, which he also wrote, bearing the black seal of the Xiangcheng Prefectural Government.
Princess Xiao'an stared at the divorce agreement—
Since our hearts are no longer united, we should each return to our own paths. May you once again adorn your hair like cicada wings, paint your eyebrows with delicate strokes, apply rouge and cherry blossom rouge, and skillfully cultivate your graceful figure, seeking a virtuous and fortunate husband. May you resolve your grievances and let go of hatred and resentment, parting ways amicably, each finding joy in the rest of your lives… — Fu Yunchen, Bride: Mu Run
"Yun Rong, what do you mean by this? What do the names on this have to do with you and me?" Princess Xiao'an's exquisite makeup cracked for a moment at this moment.
Fu Yunchen said, "Heh, that's the problem. Since the name on it has nothing to do with you, then our marriage agreement doesn't exist either."
"Even if I admit it was Mu Run, you've already received the divorce papers, and this marriage is over. Isn't that right?" Xiao An looked at the two contracts, her face filled with sorrow, her slender and petite body trembling, making her incredibly pitiful and endearing.
But in the blink of an eye, her expression changed again, becoming cold and sinister. "Who do you take me for, someone you can manipulate at will, someone you can divorce whenever you want? I will never agree to that."
Fu Yunchen said, "Whether the princess agrees or not, according to the laws of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the two of us have no relationship anymore."
After saying this, Fu Yunchen left behind the divorce papers and turned to leave.
