Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

The barbecue entertainment activity turned sour in the end. Several people were worried and couldn't digest the food. Ling Qiqi ate too much and couldn't digest it well.

After Ling Yi returned to Beiyihou Mansion, he locked himself up.

He was very depressed. He was not even ranked third in the Seventh Princess's heart. It turned out that he had always overestimated his position in the Seventh Princess's heart. It was really sad and ridiculous.

Ever since he first met the Seventh Princess at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner that year, he was deeply impressed by her. Every time they met afterwards, she always gave him a refreshing feeling, and he would always unconsciously turn his eyes to her.

His favorite moment was when she went hunting in autumn, wearing a black riding suit and riding on a black horse, carrying a small bow and arrow on her back, with a proud and cute look on her face.

Later, when he learned that his father wanted him to come to Beiwei as a hostage, he did not hesitate at all and was even a little happy because he could see the Seventh Princess again.

He had never seen a woman as bright, charming, cunning, and lively as the Seventh Princess. Sometimes she was like a slippery fish, sometimes like a lazy and warm kitten, sometimes like a calculating fox, and sometimes like an inviolable hedgehog.

He knew that the Seventh Princess and the Sixth Prince had a good relationship, and it was not that he had not thought that the two of them might end up together. He was also very clear that there was no possibility for him and the Seventh Princess, as his brother had already married the Third Princess, and his father and the Northern Emperor would not agree to him marrying another princess.

Although he is now a well-known marquis in the capital, he is actually just a hostage and cannot bring any future to the Seventh Princess, not to mention that he is also shouldering an important mission entrusted to him by his father and brother. Once their plan begins to be implemented, he and the Seventh Princess will be in different camps and have different positions, and may end up in a life-and-death battle.

He once thought that time could make people more rational or numb, but after so many years, his secret love for the Seventh Princess has not diminished but increased.

So he could only silently like the charming and ever-changing Seventh Princess. He felt that he could continue to like her silently like this.

He felt confident that since he had never obtained it, or even hoped for it, there would be no pain of loss, and if there was, it would not be so intense.

But he overestimated his own will and underestimated his love for the Seventh Princess.

When he really had to face the fact that the Seventh Princess was about to become another man's wife, he felt an unprecedented heart-wrenching pain. He had never experienced such a strong feeling since he was born. Even when facing the death of his mother, he had never been so heartbroken.

He once firmly believed that in the face of death, all pain and greed were not worth mentioning. Now he knows that separation in life is more torturous than separation in death.

People separated by Yin and Yang are the memories after despair, and no longer have any expectations.

Being in the same world with the person you love but unable to love him or her is like a dying person who is in despair and unwilling to give up, but cannot breathe his last breath, and can no longer tell whether he is being tortured by himself or by fate.

I can't forget the love, I can't stop thinking about it, I can't let it go. The more I want to cut it off, the more it becomes an obsession.

Why, why can't that man be him.

For his father and brother, he was willing to sacrifice his own life. But if he had to abandon the Seventh Princess, he would have to live like a walking corpse, without emotion or love, a life worse than death, and finally become a puppet without heart or feeling.

Why couldn't he do it for himself? Could he only choose between his father and brother and the Seventh Princess?

If he is strong enough, can he get the Seventh Princess?

Does he still have a chance?

After coming to Beiwei, he drank so much that he didn't know when it was day or night for the first time.

He kept drinking, hoping to get drunk, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Isn’t it said that alcohol can temporarily degrade a person’s senses and blur their memory?

But why is he now more sober and aware of how much he wants the Seventh Princess?

It turns out that the magic of alcohol is not to numb yourself! "Drunk" can be an excuse to escape reality. Although you may be laughed at, it is the simplest and most effective excuse. You can lose your composure, act crazy, or even have sex after drinking. You can say that the truth you said after drinking was just nonsense after drinking. You can exaggerate your emotions, cry or laugh, scold or fight, even if your hands and feet are no longer under your control.

You don't have to take any responsibility, and when you sober up, you blame everything on the alcohol. So the alcohol has always anesthetized not you, but the people around you, because your heart is always clear and you know what is the extravagant desire that you can never get rid of.

Compared to Bei Yihou, who didn't even rank third, Pei Chufeng, who was originally ranked first, was much more rational and restrained.

Pei Chufeng is now almost seventeen years old. Since he has been following two older brothers who are much older than him since he was a child, he is much more mature than his peers.

This trip to Beiwei was his first long journey. Emperor Nan Shen and his brothers had given him many instructions. He knew very well that the purpose of this trip was to find out Beiwei's strength and to dispel Beiwei's attempt to form a marriage alliance with Nan Shen.

Nan Shen has a rugged terrain and inconvenient transportation. The people are simple and honest with unique customs. They have always been solitary and non-confrontational. They neither form cliques nor bully the weak with neighboring countries.

If they were to marry Bei Kui, they would be related to Bei Kui and would be forced to get involved in disputes with other countries. For the self-sufficient Nan Shen, it would be more costly to make wedding clothes for others.

Emperor Nan Shen had given careful consideration to the decision to send Pei Chufeng on this mission to Beiwei.

He knew that Nan Shen and Xi Mo were not as strong as Bei Wei at present, and neither of them would pose a threat to Bei Wei. Now Bei Wei's biggest worry actually came from the north of Bei Wei. As long as the Northland did not rebel, the three kingdoms could still live in peace like they do now. Therefore, the Northern Emperor must hope to balance the relationship between the three kingdoms through the simplest means of marriage, and not give the Northland an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The Spring Glory Meeting held by the Northern Emperor was full of sincerity. If he did not send a member of the royal family, it would seem that he did not take it seriously enough, which would easily offend Bei Wei and arouse Bei Wei's suspicion. He had only three sons, and they were all legitimate sons. The eldest prince would inherit his throne in the future, so he must stay with him. The second prince held an important military position in Nan Shen, so it was not appropriate for him to have any relationship with Bei Wei. Moreover, these two princes were already married, and the Northern Emperor would never let his daughter run to Nan Shen to be a concubine.

On the contrary, although the third prince has reached the marriageable age and has not yet married, he has not yet taken charge of the real power in Nan Shen and is an idle prince. It is better to let the third prince go to Bei Wei. Moreover, the third prince has some congenital deficiencies and has always been weak and sickly. You can let the third prince pretend to be sick more seriously. There are only three princesses waiting to be married in the boudoir of the Northern Emperor. I believe none of them would like to be a widow to a powerless person.

Although the plan that Emperor Nan Shen knew was not very clever, it was the only solution, so he simply let the third prince go and gain experience. And although the third prince was young, he was not inferior to his two elder brothers in courage and wisdom.

With such a mission, Pei Chufeng officially stepped onto the political stage.

Originally, Pei Chufeng thought that his mission was not difficult, but what he underestimated was the Seventh Princess. For several moments, he even had the idea that "it might not be a bad idea to marry the Seventh Princess."

There was another surprise, that was Pei Churan.

This time, A'ran hid in the team and followed secretly. When she was discovered, she was already far away from the capital of Nan Shen. Pei Chufeng originally wanted the guards to send her back, but A'ran threatened that she would find a way to get rid of the guards and catch up. He was worried about her safety, so he sent someone to send a message to Emperor Nan Shen, asking her to follow Bei Wei.

A'ran is a big mouth who can't hide anything on the inside, so Pei Chufeng didn't tell A'ran the real purpose of going to Beiwei.

He originally thought that if the Northern Emperor wanted to arrange a marriage, as long as he refused to marry, A'ran would definitely stand on his side.

But she didn't expect that Ah Ran would get herself involved and become sworn sisters with the Seventh Princess of Beiwei. Moreover, she still felt that being sisters with the Seventh Princess was not safe, so today she urged him to marry the Seventh Princess back to Nan Shen to make the relationship even closer.

Pei Churan's feelings towards the Seventh Princess can be described as admiration, and he regrets not coming to Beiwei earlier.

Emperor Nan Shen probably never imagined that before he even started playing his game, Pei Churan would be turned against by the Seventh Princess.
