"Princess, everything is ready. Lord Lou has been waiting outside the palace for a long time."
Cuiyun handed me a small box and whispered to me.
She is the trusted maid by my sister's side. Usually, she would always make jokes to cheer me up, but I have never seen her so serious before.
I don't understand, but I'll take the box. "By the way, Princess, remember to use the side door. Otherwise, if you run into Second Princess, there will be endless trouble." I was stunned for a moment.
Second Princess... is talking about me.
Wei Ruyin needs to deliberately avoid the days when I act... I know where she's going.
Today is the day Lou Jingzhi returns to Ning Kingdom.
Lou Jingzhi is a proton sent by Ning Kingdom, he was originally the legitimate son, but he grew up in Nanzhao Kingdom from a young age. Not long ago, his elder brother, who was the crown prince of Ning Kingdom, unexpectedly passed away, leaving the rest of the heirs young. Ning Kingdom urgently needed an heir to take charge, and Lou Jingzhi had the opportunity to transform from a proton to become the prince of Ning. Lou Jingzhi came to Nanzhao Kingdom when he was eight years old.
He lacks nothing in terms of food, clothing, and status, and is treated just like a prince. Despite the generosity of the Nanzhao Kingdom, Lou Jingzhi repays it with ingratitude. We grew up together, and I have secretly admired him since we were young.
Half a month ago, I persistently begged and pleaded with the king to arrange a marriage with Lou Jingzhi. I still remember, in the great hall, the king's helpless expression seemed to convey a hundred unwillingness, but he couldn't resist my persuasion. When I met Lou Jingzhi, the look in his eyes seemed to suggest that he had guessed something, and there was a gentle smile on his face like a spring breeze.
I endured without telling Lou Jingzhi, but instead shared my secrets and feelings with my elder sister. At that time, I was immersed in joy, not noticing my elder sister's increasingly cold expression, and never imagining that she would interfere and take away the person I loved. The next day, I was informed that my elder sister had become engaged to Lou Jingzhi.
So, today's journey with Wei Ruyin was made possible by Lou Jingzhi and The day of returning home.
"Wait!"
Just before I stepped onto the carriage, a figure hurriedly approached.
A red robe fluttered in the wind, and the anxious expression on the face did not seem fake. It was my favorite clothe, with the best embroidery done by the embroiderer in Ning Kingdom.
I looked at my own body getting closer.
"Ah Tang."
She grabbed my hand and pulled me aside, calling out in a low voice. In an instant, our eyes met, and I recognized her—my sister. As expected, she was here to stop me.
She was able to intercept me today, which means she may also have that memory. In other words—
everything in that dream might be real.
When I was young, I studied with Wei Ruyin in a study room.
She was raised as an heir, studying "The Art of War" and "National Policies," discussing at length and passionately with historical texts. Meanwhile, I would sneak a notebook under the table, enjoying candied fruit and leisurely reading, making my face flush and my heart race with joy. Sometimes, " Wei Ruyin " would lead me to climb the thousand-layered tower built by our ancestors, where I would leisurely overlook the beautiful scenery of the imperial city, while she would be focused on the world in her heart.
Elder sister is the legitimate eldest daughter, always one step ahead of me, but I don't care.
But why does the person I've been thinking about for ten years want to compete with me?
"I am the one who shares a deep connection with Jing, you can't... steal someone's love!"
I didn't expect these words to come out of her mouth. They sound so awkward that I almost burst out laughing in anger.
" Wei Ruyin," you say this, aren't you ashamed of yourself?
"Brother Jingzhi!" I even suspect that she has been acting as the legitimate eldest daughter for too long, and now she's just using my identity to throw a tantrum.
The servant beside her stopped her.
Lou Jingzhi only lifted a corner of the carriage curtain.
In my previous life, when I tried to stop him, I found that he looked at me, and I still had hope in my heart, thinking that he also had me in his heart.
At this moment, carefully pondering his expression, when he looked at "Wei Sitang", there was no trace of affection in his gaze, but rather it seemed like he was watching a joke. "A Tang, you've grown up." Today, I realized that the smile in Lou Jingzhi's eyes never reached his eyes when facing me.
In a previous life, Wei Ruyin, I won the prize of the autumn hunt and then handed it over to me. I used the jewel-encrusted dagger to cut my wrist, crying until I fainted as I chased after their carriage. But I couldn't stop their determined departure.
"Someone come! Take her back to the palace and confine her for three months."
Now I am wearing the skin of Wei Sitang, and I am the highly anticipated Grand Princess of Nanzhao.
With one command, who dares not to obey?
"No! You can't go!" Her heart-wrenching scream grew fainter and fainter as I sat in the carriage, not looking back.
