You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Lin Zhaoyue was confused and walked quickly.

As she was walking, she saw someone blocking the way ahead. She didn't care and turned left. Just as she was about to go around him, the person also moved to the left.

She went right, and the man also went right.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her mind calmed down a little.

Why do this man’s clothes look familiar? It’s the prince’s uniform…Prince?

Xiao Yan?

After concentrating for a while, she stopped and looked up.

My first reaction was to look behind me, but I didn’t see Liu Yiyi.

Why is he coming here instead of accompanying Liu Yiyi to the main hall?

Retracting her gaze, Lin Zhaoyue said:

"Is there something wrong, Your Highness?"

The distance was too close, and the smell of ambergris on his body kept going into her nose.

She used to like this smell, but now she feels uncomfortable when she smells it.

Lin Zhaoyue took two steps back.

In her previous life, she had been married to him for nine years and she never saw through him, so she didn't want to see through him now.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Zhaoyue was about to leave, but the man raised his foot, and the distance between them suddenly became so close that she could even feel each other's breathing.

Xiao Yun lowered his eyes, and his sharp phoenix eyes scanned her as if he could see through everything. Lin Zhaoyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hands hanging at her sides clenched and unclenched.

"Are you afraid of being alone?"

"Don't dare."

She said she didn't dare, not that she didn't.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Lin Zhaoyue waited for a while, but didn't hear Xiao Yan speak. She took a deep breath, raised her head, looked straight into his eyes, and said:

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing else to do, I will go to Qingyao Palace first."

Qingyao Palace is a desolate palace.

After saying that, he raised his foot to leave.

The man reached out and grasped her arm with his jade-like hand, and said in a low voice:

"I said it from the beginning, I am not a good person. It's too late for you to be afraid now."

Almost the moment Xiao Yan held her hand, Lin Zhaoyue felt disgusted and subconsciously tried to break free from his hand.

But Xiao Yun held it firmly, so firmly that even Lin Zhaoyue could not shake it even a little bit even with all her strength.

A deep feeling of powerlessness swept over her. Lin Zhaoyue hated the feeling of being unable to do anything even if she tried her best.

She swore that after returning home, she would ask her father to find a master to teach her martial arts.

"Since the Crown Prince has said that it is too late to regret now, and the matter has been settled, it is useless to say more. Please respect yourself, Your Highness. Although the Emperor has granted us the marriage, we are not married yet after all."

The two words "self-respect". In the past, when Lin Zhaoyue pestered Xiao Yan and annoyed him, he would say, "Please, Miss Lin, respect yourself."

Lin Zhaoyue never thought that one day she would be able to return the word self-respect.

Xiao Yan paused slightly, but did not let go of her hand. Instead, his eyes fell on her face unscrupulously.

The girl's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with anger, annoyance and stubbornness as she glared at him fiercely.

It looked like an annoyed cat, finally extending its claws.

Unconsciously, Xiao Yun's thin pink lips slightly curled up.

With this smile, the world was dimmed.

If it were in the past, Lin Zhaoyue would be willing to die to see Xiao Yun's smile like this, but now.

She really wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle and chop him up and feed him to the dogs.

But Xiao Yan was of noble status, he was the king and she was the subject, so Lin Zhaoyue didn't dare.

He could only look at Xiao Yan coldly, his fists clenched unconsciously.

Realizing that Lin Zhaoyue's patience was reaching its limit, Xiao Yun was afraid of really angering her, so he let go of her hand.

After gaining her freedom, Lin Zhaoyue strode towards Qingyao Palace without looking back once.

Xiao Yan had long legs and followed her slowly.

Listening to the footsteps behind her, Lin Zhaoyue became more and more upset.

She just wanted to stay away from him now, the farther the better.

When she arrived at Qingyao Palace, Xiao Ran had already finished dressing up and changed into a princess's coming-of-age attire, looking very bright and charming.

"Ran Ran."

Lin Zhaoyue called her.

Xiao Ran turned his head and saw her, his eyes filled with surprise. He subconsciously raised his foot, then recalled it with a proud snort when he remembered something.

Lin Zhaoyue knew that she was angry, so she quickly went up to comfort her:

"Of course, I was wrong. It's all my fault that I was haunted by a nightmare today. Okay, can you please forgive me?"

Lin Zhaoyue pulled Xiao Ran's arm and acted coquettishly.

You clearly said that you would be the first one to wish her a happy birthday, but you only came now.

Xiao Ran didn't intend to forgive her so easily.

He raised his chin slightly, snorted softly, and looked away, not looking at her.

Lin Zhaoyue took out the amulet she had obtained from the Huguo Temple, handed it to Xiao Ran, and said to her:

"Ranran, I was wrong. This is the amulet I asked the master to bless at Huguo Temple. I wish our Ranran will always have a beautiful face and flowers on his head for many years."

There is a copper coin wrapped in this amulet. During the spring hunt in the previous life, Xiao Ran wanted to set her up with Xiao Yun, so he always brought her along to follow Xiao Yunyun.

However, something unexpected happened on the way. A group of men in black appeared out of nowhere and wanted to kill Xiao Yan.

During the melee, a crossbow shot at Xiao Ran. Fortunately, he had the amulet to protect him, otherwise Xiao Ran would have died.

The reason why she went to the Huguo Temple was that she wanted to ask Xiao Yun's master Bai Mozi to help consecrate the temple, but she didn't see him after going there several times, so she asked other masters in the temple to help consecrate the temple.

Unexpectedly, it was quite useful. She hoped that this amulet could still protect Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran looked at the amulet and fell in love with it at first sight.

"His Royal Highness."

The palace maid outside the door bowed and saluted when she saw Xiao Yin.

The two heard the noise outside and looked over there.

Seeing Xiao Yan, Xiao Ran shouted crisply:

"Third brother, why are you here?"

"I came to see Ranran, how are your preparations going?"

When saying this, Xiao Yun unconsciously glanced at the amulet in Lin Zhaoyue's hand.

"Everything is ready."

Xiao Ran replied, noticing Xiao Yan's look, took the amulet and said:

"Thank you Zhao Zhao, do you have any for my third brother?"

The reason why Xiao Ran asked this was because every time Lin Zhaoyue bought something as a gift, she would give it double, and she would give Xiao Yan one regardless of whether he liked it or not.

Xiao Yan naturally has some.

She went to ask for amulets, and got five in total.

Father, mother, elder sister, Xiao Ran and one of them were originally sent to Xiao Yan.

But now, she didn't plan to send him off.

"Today is your birthday, so the prince's doesn't have one."

Hearing Lin Zhaoyue's words, Xiao Yun's eyes dimmed slightly and he turned his head to look at her.

Lin Zhaoyue lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yun at all.

She was afraid that he would see what she was thinking at a glance.

It’s all her fault that she just came back to life today and couldn’t control her emotions.

On the surface, Xiao Yan looked gentle and kind, but she knew that he was a very cautious, vicious and violent person, and she shouldn't show it so obviously all of a sudden.

If he found out, she wouldn't even know how she died, let alone protecting the Lin family.

She can't be too hasty.

Lin Zhaoyue felt a sharp gaze scanning her, and that look seemed to have taken shape.

It was as cold as a thin blade, making her breathless.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard a maid's voice outside:

"Princess, it's almost time to go to the main hall."

"Let's go now. Zhaozhao, let's go to the main hall."

As he spoke, Xiao Ran came over and held Lin Zhaoyue's hand, and they walked towards the main hall together.

Lin Zhaoyue arrived at the entrance of the main hall and went in first.

When she arrived, everyone was already seated.

A few young ladies from wealthy families who were on good terms with her only dared to greet her secretly with their eyes when they saw her. Lin Zhaoyue responded with a polite smile.

In her previous life, the Lin family was in trouble and these people treated her like a vicious snake.

After Xiao Yun married Liu Yiyi, he immediately joined her camp.

The world is hilarious, all come for profit.

Lin Zhaoyue could understand their actions, but she would never open up to them from now on.

Thinking back to her previous life, Lin Zhaoyue remembered the young man who was pierced through the heart by arrows and died in Wumen Street while trying to protect her. Calculating the time, he should appear in the black market in the second half of the month.
