He wouldn't give it to me.
Therefore, Jiang Mingwan remained depressed after returning home.
Just then, Jiang Chongfan returned from outside and saw Jiang Mingwan looking distracted, so he frowned.
"Wan'er!"
Jiang Mingwan was startled awake when she heard Jiang Chongfan's voice and quickly went over.
"grandfather."
Jiang Chongfan knew Jiang Mingwan's thoughts and sighed.
"Wan'er, you have always been a sensible person."
"I originally came back with the intention of making you empress, but now that His Majesty insists on marrying that woman, you should give up on that idea!"
"In the future, your grandfather will find you various marriage opportunities."
Jiang Mingwan suddenly looked up and knelt down.
"Grandfather, your granddaughter does not wish to."
Jiang Chongfan frowned.
"You don't want to?"
What are you unwilling to do?
Jiang Mingwan's face was full of sorrow, and tears were already streaming down her face.
“Grandfather, to be honest, at first, when you made me empress, I was unwilling in my heart.”
"However, my granddaughter fell in love with His Majesty at first sight."
"Grandfather, I don't want to marry anyone now, I only want to stay with His Majesty."
"Whether His Majesty likes someone else or not, I accept it."
I don't ask for much. I just want to enter the palace, even as a concubine, just to be able to see him every day.
Jiang Chongfan frowned again as he looked at Jiang Mingwan, who was always sensible.
"Wan'er, you have always been sensible. You should know that even if you enter the palace as a concubine now, His Majesty probably won't pay any attention to you."
Jiang Mingwan snorted coldly and raised her head.
"So what?"
"This man is naturally very interested in women he can't have, and his heart and eyes are always on them."
But once he actually marries her and brings her into the palace, he'll inevitably get tired of her and fed up with her after a while.
"This is my chance."
"Grandfather, please rest assured, as long as I can enter the palace, I will do everything in my power to gain His Majesty's favor and bring glory to our Jiang family."
"good!"
Jiang Chongfan raised his voice.
"You truly are worthy of being a member of the Jiang family. Don't worry, after His Majesty's wedding, Grandfather will definitely find a way to bring you into the palace as a concubine."
That night.
After finishing processing all the memorials, Shen Hechuan hurriedly left the palace to go to Gu Jingchun's residence.
However, someone stopped him in his tracks.
"His Majesty!"
Lan Xin respectfully bowed to Shen Hechuan.
"My lady said that the bride and groom cannot meet for three days before the wedding. You should go back."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan's face darkened instantly.
"Did Jing Chun say this?"
:"Yes.""
Lanxin answered respectfully.
"Miss said this is so that your marriage will go more smoothly in the future, and your relationship will be more fulfilling. That's why she specifically instructed me to wait for you again."
"I told you to go back and rest early. These past few days must have been quite tiring. We can talk about anything else on our wedding day."
After Lan Xin finished speaking, even though Shen Hechuan was extremely unhappy, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After all, he didn't want his marriage with Gu Jingchun to be unhappy in the future.
However, after returning home, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. In the end, he got up in the middle of the night, put on his clothes, and left the palace.
Tianji followed behind him, yawning.
"Your Majesty, where are you going in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
As soon as Tianji finished speaking, Shen Hechuan stopped and flew to the rooftop.
Tianji also flew up and saw Shen Hechuan standing high up, staring longingly in Gu Jingchun's direction.
Tianji was stunned when he saw this.
He murmured to the Earthly Branch behind him.
"Good heavens, how did our Emperor become such a statue waiting for his husband!"
Meanwhile, Lan Xin returned to Gu Jingchun's room after Shen Hechuan left.
Gu Jingchun was disassembling the makeup ring when he saw Lanxin return and asked her a question.
"Has His Majesty returned?"
Lanxin nodded.
"Um."
"His Majesty did not want to go back at first, but after I told him it was for the sake of his future marital happiness, he went back."
Gu Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
These three days are a chance for me to rest.
After all, she could imagine that she would be very busy on her wedding day.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day before the wedding.
Gu Jingchun finished his bath early that day and lay down on the bed, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Thinking about yesterday's grand wedding, her past life, and the time she spent with Shen Hechuan at the inn, she felt her thoughts growing more and more numerous, yet she became increasingly clear-headed.
After a while, she couldn't fall asleep, so she got up, opened the door, and stood in the yard looking up at the moon in the sky.
Today is the fifteenth of the lunar month, and the moon in the sky is exceptionally round.
As Gu Jingchun looked at the full moon, his heart gradually calmed down.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen Hechuan was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He couldn't help but feel happy just thinking that Gu Jingchun would really marry him tomorrow, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
He simply stood up, put on his coat, and went outside.
Just like the previous two days, he flew up to the roof and stood on the high ground, intending to take a look at Gu Jingchun's room as usual.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped onto the platform, he saw Gu Jingchun standing in the courtyard.
She stood quietly in the courtyard, wearing only a coat, looking up at the moon in the sky.
Shen Hechuan just watched her quietly, looked up at the moon, and finally fixed his gaze on her.
His eyes were completely focused on her.
The two of them, one on the ground and the other on the roof, stood quietly like that for an hour.
Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Jingchun turned around and went back to his room.
As Shen Hechuan watched Gu Jingchun's retreating figure, he opened his mouth but made no sound. Instead, he only mouthed a single sentence.
"Jingchun, see you tomorrow."
The next day.
Gu Jingchun felt as soon as she closed her eyes that Lan Xin was already in front of her, calling her to get up.
"Miss, it's almost time. You should get up and start preparing."
Poor Gu Jingchun had just started to feel sleepy when he had to get up and was then "tortured" like a puppet on strings.
She remained drowsy until…
Start the face-spinning process.
A series of pains jolted her awake, and she opened her eyes.
"Ahhh..."
She called out softly.
"Young lady, please bear with it for a moment, it will be over soon."
"Don't worry about my skills, I guarantee they will make your skin as smooth and delicate as an eggshell."
"Back then, it was this old servant who did the makeup for the late Empress. That's why His Majesty specifically instructed this old servant to come and do your makeup."
Gu Jingchun was in so much pain that he couldn't hear what the old woman was saying.
