[Chapter 19, Chapter 346: The Princess and the Young Tyrant 1]
(This chapter should actually be called: My sister-in-law is so charming, the young tyrant fell in love at first sight, but... you know what I mean)
"Princess, why does the Second Princess treat you like this?"
"It was the Second Princess who requested the marriage, and now that she regrets it at the last minute, it's not your place to go!"
After the eunuch who announced the decree left, the personal maid Xiao Cai helped her master up and couldn't help but tear up.
Wen Shinian's face was calm, without any unnecessary emotion.
Xiao Cai wanted to say something, but Wen Shinian squeezed her hand and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Although Xiao Cai was confused, she subconsciously shut up.
She helped Wen Shinian sit down.
As soon as he landed, the prince wearing a four-clawed dragon robe walked in.
Wen Shinian stood up again and bowed.
The prince didn't even look at her, just walked past her and sat down in the upper seat.
"Are you dissatisfied with the marriage?"
The prince didn't ask Wen Shinian to stand up, but Wen Shinian stood up on his own.
She raised her eyes to look at the arrogant prince with a mocking look.
"Brother personally asked for permission, how dare I object?"
Xiao Cai, who was standing by, widened her eyes in shock when she heard this.
She instinctively looked at the prince, but was touched the next second.
After coming to her senses, Xiao Cai quickly lowered her head again and, without saying a word, supported her master who had just used his elbow to push her and remind her.
"You look dissatisfied?"
The prince didn't expect that Wen Shinian would know about this. His eyes were blank for a few seconds, and the next second he frowned, looking at his sister in front of him with a serious expression, and there was a bit of disgust in his expression.
"You are indeed as Xiaoxiao said, selfish. Xiaoxiao is so good to you, and her fragile body will be in danger if she goes to marry."
"You are the eldest sister and you are in good health. What's wrong with marrying off your younger sister? When Xiaoxiao said that, I spoke up for you. I never thought you would be so selfish and heartless!"
Xiaoxiao, the second princess Xiaocai mentioned at the beginning, has the full name Wen Xiao.
Wen Xiao's mother was originally a first-class maid serving the queen personally.
She took advantage of the queen's confinement period and climbed onto the dragon bed.
Compared with the queen who was raised by a noble lady, she was more relaxed and served well, so she was particularly loved by the emperor. Soon after she was promoted to a beauty, she received the emperor's favor frequently, so much so that she became pregnant with Wen Xiao just after the queen came out of confinement.
Because of this reason, the queen was somewhat displeased with her daughter.
She felt that it was because of her that she lost the emperor's favor.
Ever since she could remember, she was not favored by the queen and was often bullied by palace maids, eunuchs, or other little princes and princesses of the same age.
Among them, the small team led by Wen Xiao was particularly excessive in bullying.
This phenomenon continued until the age of five.
After she was five years old, her brother, the prince, discovered that she was being bullied. From then on, she was raised under the protection of the prince.
The prince was really good to her at that time.
But this kindness also became the sharpest sword stabbing at her after she came of age.
In her previous life, she died of depression on the way to marriage.
Only after learning of her death did the prince and the queen come to their senses.
The prince ordered Wen Xiao to be tortured, and the queen began to worship Buddha from then on. She named her youngest daughter Si Nian and doted on her.
When Wen Shinian saw this ending, he almost burst into tears.
Belated love is dirtier than shit, and as disgusting as spitting vomit back into your stomach.
Looking at the prince and thinking of the original owner's miserable ending, Wen Shinian wished he could quickly go to another country, recuperate, and come back to destroy his entire family.
"The prince has finished speaking."
Wen Shinian raised a false smile and looked at the prince with eyes that were no longer tender. "Please rest assured, I am very happy to marry him. As the Princess of Wen Kingdom, this is also my mission. I have no complaints."
"Well, you better really think so."
When the prince met Wen Shinian's eyes, he was flustered for a moment and did not pay attention to how Wen Shinian addressed him.
He always felt as if he had lost something very important, but when he thought about it, the most important things for him were only status and power.
As for my younger sister...
He had been mistaken before, but from now on, he would just pretend that he didn't have this sister!
The prince waved his sleeves and left.
Before leaving, he subconsciously avoided Wen Shinian's gaze, not daring to look at her again.
Wen Shinian looked at his back and laughed emotionlessly.
Xiao Cai raised her eyes with tears in her eyes and looked at her master with heartache.
"Princess, why would the Crown Prince treat you like this? He doted on you so much before, but now, how could he treat you like this just for the Second Princess? It's so unfair!"
Wen Shinian wiped the tears from Xiao Cai's face with a smile, his voice cold and indifferent.
"There's no such thing as fair or unfair. But I don't want a relationship that can be so easily disturbed by just a few words."
Xiao Cai sniffed and swore solemnly.
"Princess, Xiao Cai will never betray you in this life!"
Wen Shinian smiled without saying anything and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I believe you."
In the previous life, it was Xiao Cai who brought back the news of the original owner's death.
After the news came back, Xiao Cai hanged herself in the palace where the original owner had stayed.
"Let's go, let's go pack our things first."
The marriage is scheduled for seven days later.
During these seven days, Wen Shinian did not go anywhere and just packed his things in the hall.
There weren't many things in it, just some gold, silver and treasures and some storable snacks.
As for the gifts the prince had given her before, she didn't take any of them and even despised them.
Xiao Cai really wanted to take it, after all, it was all silver.
If you run out of money in a foreign country, you can pawn it and exchange it for money.
Listening to Xiao Cai's chatter, Wen Shinian also felt that there was some truth in it.
Then give it to her!
While Wen Shinian was packing her things, the Crown Prince and the Queen were waiting for her to make trouble.
But they waited and waited, until the marriage team set out, the person they were forced to marry did not appear in front of them.
When the Queen learned that Wen Shinian had already boarded the sedan chair for the marriage, her fingers loosened and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"Queen, are you hurt?"
The nanny who came to report was shocked and quickly called the palace maid to clean up.
The queen grabbed the nanny's hand, clutching her chest with a look of pain on her face.
"Mammy, did I do something wrong? If not, why didn't the child want to see me before leaving?"
Mammy said nothing.
Her reaction also indirectly answered the queen.
The Queen's heart tightened and her tears turned red.
She staggered to her feet and hurried to the city wall.
The marriage procession had already walked a long way, and the sedan chair carrying her daughter had become a small red dot in front of her eyes.
The Queen stumbled, her lips parted.
In the end, that call was never uttered.
Many years later, when the dynasty collapsed and the defeated nation became captives, she saw her again.
But at that time, no matter how hard the queen called, she could not call back her daughter who always timidly called her "mother" when she was a child.

"Princess, I heard that the emperor of Yunzhao Kingdom is tyrannical and has no humanity. If we go there, will our lives be in danger?"
Xiao Cai walked beside the sedan chair, and her face turned pale when she thought about the news she had heard in the past few days.
Wen Shinian leaned bonelessly against the sedan chair, his long legs stretched out casually.
Hearing Xiao Cai's frightened voice, Wen Shinian comforted her half-heartedly.
"Don't worry, we are also envoys of peace. Any attack on us will only hurt the harmony between the two countries. Besides, I am not marrying the emperor of Yunzhao Kingdom."
However, the target she wants to conquer in this world is the younger brother of her marriage partner, the Emperor of Yunzhao Kingdom.
This is a bit difficult.
Wen Shinian was yawning, looking lazy, and it didn't seem like he was in any trouble.
Xiao Cai was barely comforted, but she was still worried about the future.
“Who is it?”
Just after leaving the territory of Wen State, a man suddenly appeared on the official road which was originally deserted.
The man was thin, his clothes were tattered, and his hair was messy.
When the knife was pointed at him, his whole body was shaking.
"Sir, please spare me, sir, please spare me. I'm just a beggar. I didn't mean to disturb you. I was just too hungry and I lost my balance and fell down."
The boy, whose face could not be seen clearly, pointed at the slope beside the road.
"Get out of here now! If you delay the team's progress, you won't have enough lives to kill them!"
The general who was escorting the bride kicked the young man.
"General Zhao, the princess invites you."
Xiao Cai ran over and stopped General Zhao's behavior.
