After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Can we still wait...?

The figures of the soldiers gradually disappeared at the gate of the imperial city.

Recalling Xu Jinghuai's thrilling look just now, and the complete loss of contact over the past year.

Yan Yunshu suddenly felt a little confused.

Her Xu Jinghuai, the one she loved the most, the one who loved her the most.

Could it be that as it is said in countless widely circulated storybooks, during those three years of fighting, he and the female general beside him developed a bond of life and death, a bond that lasted through thick and thin?

So... forget her?

This is a groundless but seemingly very reasonable guess.

It was as if a basin of ice water had drenched her from head to toe.

She stood in the crowd, her soul felt drained out and her breathing felt like it had stopped.

It's clearly another beautiful day in late autumn.

The warm sun generously spreads its gentle light to the world.

Leaves are falling and the fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere.

Yan Yunshu looked up at the sky.

She thought that Nuan Yang must want to warm the hearts of everyone in this world.

But why can't I warm my heart?

The imperial city gates closed and the crowded crowd gradually dispersed.

There are still scattered crowds of people gathering in the streets and alleys.

The three days of celebration began.

All the vendors placed various beautiful lanterns on the ribbons one after another, and the shops along the street also opened their doors and hung lanterns in front of them.

Yan Yunshu looked around and knew.

In order to match the festive atmosphere, the Autumn Lantern Festival started early. How beautiful it would be to have lanterns everywhere at night.

But what does it matter how good-looking it is?

Yan Yunshu, silently, walked against the sea of people and headed towards the Imperial College with a group of students.

Although people were celebrating, everyone started to take a break.

But they still need to complete their studies today.

Starting tomorrow, we will officially have a day off.

In the school, Yan Yunshu sat in the back seat, supporting her cheek with one hand and fiddling with the scroll in her hand with the other.

My ears were filled with the whispers of my classmates.

Every word and sentence is still related to the future Crown Princess.

Is it Princess Fengling, Yan Xiaoxiao, or He Zhixiao, the person favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Each one is quite suitable.

But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has earned such great military merit and returned to Beijing to meet the Emperor.

He definitely has full decision-making power over the selection of his own Crown Princess.

So, He Zhixiao is the most likely one!

However, as everyone discussed, the scope of the discussion inevitably expanded and they thought of Yan Yunshu, who had not joined the discussion and was particularly conspicuous for her calmness.

"I just heard recently that Yan Yunshu has been engaged to a member of the royal family since she was born. Shouldn't she be included?"

"Yes, these past few days, I also heard her elder sister, who is in the same grade as her brother, talk about an extraordinary past event. It was that Yan Yunshu participated in their boat cruise, and at the party, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to favor Yan Yunshu, which was particularly unusual."

"But that was all several years ago. Your Highness the Crown Prince and Yan Yunshu have known each other since childhood in the Marquis' Mansion. It's not an exaggeration to say that they have a brother-sister relationship."

"Yeah...that's right."

"Besides, even though Yan Yunshu has now been included in the Wen family tree and has the support of a powerful institution like the Loyal and Brave Marquisate, it still cannot erase the fact that she is the son of a traitor."

"Presumably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will no longer be involved with Yan Yunshu in order to secure his position as Crown Prince."

"So Yan Yunshu can indeed be excluded from the list and can be eliminated."

"You make it sound like Yan Yunshu is a discarded chess piece of the royal family. But I feel like Yunshu is actually quite pitiful."

"That's right. In fact, Yan Yunshu is a good candidate for the Crown Princess. She has an engagement, is beautiful, knows the big picture, doesn't talk much, and handles things very calmly. It's a pity that she has such a father. How pitiful..."

"No matter how pitiful she is, she has no chance of becoming the Crown Princess. Right now, the most likely candidate is He Zhixiao. He has made great contributions and is favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It can be said that the timing, location, and people are right..."

Outside the school, the autumn breeze blows gently and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus fills the air.

Yan Yunshu felt depressed after hearing this. She took a deep breath and then exhaled.

A classmate next to her seemed to think that they had gone too far and was about to pull Yan Yunshu over to comfort her, but before she could say a word, she suddenly heard a harsh rebuke from the classroom.

"Enough!"

Everyone looked over, and Yan Yunshu also raised her eyes to look towards the source of the voice.

I unexpectedly saw Princess Fengling standing in the middle of the school with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive, followed by several young ladies from aristocratic families.

"You're such a chatterbox! Don't you even consider your own worth? How dare you spout nonsense in front of this princess?"

"Yes, you are so bold that you dare to slander the prince in front of the princess!" The little followers quickly agreed.

The school was silent as Princess Fengling glanced at one person after another.

Finally, she inexplicably stopped her gaze on Yan Yunshu's face.

That peerless beauty seemed to hurt her.

The corner of her mouth twitched as she said, "How could you possibly dream of being my prince brother? Not only is he unworthy of being the most beautiful woman, he's not even worthy of being a fifth-rank general, who got his rank through some rubbish military exploits!"

This obviously means that she is the only one who is worthy of it?

Yan Yunshu couldn't help but sneer and looked away.

Continue to look at the letter in your hand.

The school was completely silent.

Princess Fengling continued to stare at Yan Yunshu, and she must have noticed the mockery on her face.

He came to her in a rage.

"Yan Yunshu, don't think that just because you have the support of Marquis Wen, you can look down on me like this. No matter how big your Marquis Zhongyong Mansion is, it's not bigger than my aunt's!"

Yan Yunshu was stunned and admitted that she was right.

Princess Fengling’s aunt is the current queen, Xu Jinghuai’s mother!

In this life, the Queen is still alive. At this moment, Princess Fengling can naturally suppress herself by bringing the Queen out.

He did not get angry, but calmly put down the letter in his hand, stood up, and saluted towards Princess Fengling in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"The princess is right." After saying that, he sat down.

Princess Fengling thought that Yan Yunshu would remain silent as she had done in previous years, but she was surprised that Yan Yunshu was so flexible today.

She walked around Yan Yunshu's seat and finally stopped right in front of her.

He looked at her amazingly beautiful face seriously, and his expression froze.

"It's good that you know. You too..." Princess Fengling said, looking at her with lowered eyebrows, "Don't covet what you shouldn't covet."

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Yan Yunshu's mouth.

He didn't even refute it.

Princess Fengling was extremely satisfied. She stretched out her hand and continued to point at Yan Yunshu's desk.

"It's good that you understand. In this life, and for all eternity to come, my cousin, the Crown Prince, is not something a son of a traitor like you can even dream of!"

Everyone started to murmur and talk in low voices again.

"She's so pitiful."

"Yes, she provoked the princess. She was the only one who didn't say anything. Who knew the princess would provoke her again..."

Princess Fengling roared, "Shut up!"

The wind blew, and the hairband behind Yan Yunshu fluttered in the wind.

I heard a familiar voice coming from the school gate.

"Yan Yunshu is my Crown Princess."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xu Jinghuai, who had changed out of his military uniform and was now wearing a crescent-shaped white brocade robe, had his brows furrowed, his eyes gleaming coldly, and was staring at Princess Fengling with murderous intent.

Seeing him again, he cast his gentle gaze on Yan Yunshu.
