In February 1487, as my father and master wished, I finally married into the royal family and became the most respected princess in the world.

But I wasn't happy at all, because it was their wish, not mine.

How I wish I could marry a man who loves me and whom I love.

As for the crown prince that I am about to marry, I have never met him, who is so high and mighty.

It was said that he suffered greatly when he was young. Back then, when the emperor had doted on all the imperial concubines, the imperial concubine had done whatever she wanted in the palace, killing many of her concubines. Both the crown prince and his mother had been persecuted by the imperial concubine at that time.

Only one day did the emperor exclaim that he had a son who was six years old and had been hiding in the cold palace until he was six years old and was being nurtured by the kind mama in the cold palace.

Rumor had it that the emperor had been made Crown Prince as soon as he found out about this child, but why would the grand imperial concubine agree? Many times she wanted him abolished. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Zhou's protection, the crown prince would have died long ago.

In this way Zhu Youjin grew up under the protection of Empress Dowager Zhou. It was said that before she died, Wan Consort still wanted the Emperor to abolish the crown prince and join the ministers to play.

The reason why I was able to become the princess consort was mostly due to the concubine. She had no background in my family and was of no help to the crown prince. It was a pity that before she could successfully abolish the crown prince, she had already died from illness.

Of course, I also heard some rumors in the imperial harem. Some people said that the princess' death was related to the crown prince. The crown prince had grown up and had begun to retaliate.

The rumors about the crown prince never seemed to end. The good ones were bad, and there were many different opinions. From then on, I don't know what kind of person my husband was.

For me to be able to become the master of this position that all the women in this world envied, it was as if fate had played a joke on me.

In my imagination, I could live happily with Big Brother Sun for a lifetime, but unfortunately, Big Brother Sun and I didn't have any feelings for each other. After an accident, I finally found a chance to persuade the two families to cancel the engagement, but I didn't expect that my father would make up his mind to send me to the palace when I broke off the engagement.

From the time of the selection, I purposely counted from the bottom to the bottom, causing trouble everywhere. I wanted to be defeated in the selection, but I had no choice, I still walked to the end, and was chosen by the Emperor as the Crown Prince's consort.

I don't know why. At that time, there was clearly Zhou Nian, the granddaughter of the crown prince, whom the grand imperial concubine had taken a fancy to, and Empress Dowager Zhou's favorite niece, Mousang. They both undoubtedly wanted to become the unique crown prince's consort, but in the end, a powerless girl like me took over their positions.

As for me, even though I've already become the princess consort, I still yearn for freedom. That's right, I want to escape the marriage.

Because, to me, happiness is free, a person can only do as he pleases to be happy, and there are rules everywhere in the palace, so I don't want to!

Unfortunately, no matter how many times I had to flee, I was still escorted by my father into the marriage chamber.

"Miss, where are you going?" The personal maid Xia asked as soon as she entered the room, grabbing my arm.

Actually, I also know that today is my last chance to strike back. I didn't expect it to end before it even starts.

"Today is the day of young miss' wedding, young miss cannot go anywhere else. We can only wait here for the arrival of the crown prince. " Xia Xia pressed me back onto the bed and I sat down.

Yes, I want to run. From the day I was kidnapped by my father to run for the crown prince's consort, I've thought about running away. But every time I look for a good opportunity, there will be a situation like that that that leads to failure.

"Xia Xia, didn't I ask you to go to the kitchen and get me something to eat?" I purposely avoided Xia Xia, but didn't expect her to return in such a short time.

"Miss, you must have done it on purpose. There's so much food in this room, you can just eat it. Why do you want Xia Xia to go out and get it? The lord said that on the day of Miss's wedding, you must watch over the Miss." Xia Xia gave me an apple and a few handfuls of peanuts from the table.

"My father is worried." I helplessly looked at him, unwilling to give up my last chance to escape from the marriage.

My father, Zhang Shan, is only an Elementary Scholar in Xing Ji. If it weren't for his grandfather's huge family background, perhaps he wouldn't even have a servant girl at home!

Xia Xia grew up by my side, and I treated her like my own sister. I would tell her everything.

"Does the old master not know the thoughts of the young miss? "Master said that you were rebellious since young, and if it wasn't for young master, you would have definitely run away when you picked your concubine. Today is the wedding day, and the most important thing is that Master told me to keep a close eye on you so that you wouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble." But I never thought that this girl would be so loyal to my father.

It's not convenient for me to do anything under the hood.

When Xia Xia saw that I was full of food, she took out a handkerchief and gave it to me to wipe my mouth.

Miss, don't even think about running away. This is a royal wedding banquet, the world is vast, where can you escape to? Besides, if you really run away and anger the emperor, then that would be a crime of nine familial extermination. At that time, the entire Zhang family would definitely be implicated. Xia Xia's words were like a sharp blade, piercing into my heart. She wasn't wrong in the slightest.

I escaped before, regardless of the clan's escape, but in the end, I still returned to the clan for the sake of my younger brother. I've thought of how to leave without implicating the clan, but there's nothing I can do …

The world was vast, could it be that this was the land of a king? Where can I escape to?

"Earlier, it was rumored that the imperial concubine was going to abolish the crown prince. If I were to marry him now, I might end up being a crippled concubine. But now, it's also rumored that the crown prince is ruthless, saying that the Imperial Concubine's death is related to him. If that's the case, how will I live my life in the future?" I don't want to run away, but thinking of the crown prince like that, I sighed to the sky.

In the end, I just don't know why Master and Father were so determined to marry me to such a man. They were practically sending me into a fire pit, not caring about my life or death.

"Miss, what you heard were all rumors. His Highness the Crown Prince wasn't like that. The Imperial Concubine died of illness." Seeing me eat well, Xia Xia rearranged my new clothes and covered my red head.

Rumor? How do you know?

If he wasn't such a person, how could there be so many rumors in the palace?

I took off my cap and questioned.

"This is for the crown prince to open up the treasure. Miss, you better not take it down yourself."

"Got it, it's really long-winded."

"The crown prince is here, don't move."

"Miss, please be more honest today!"

I have never disliked this servant girl of mine, except when she nagged me, I didn't want to bother with her.

He had clearly heard a sound outside the door, but he had yet to hear the sound of the door being pushed open.

"Your Highness, enter!"

It was his wedding feast, and he didn't even know who his bride was, but he was going to step into it and start a new life with a stranger.

"Your Highness, you may enter." Seeing that Zhu You had not moved, the Empress did not dare to shout out loud, and said softly once again.

"Tong Yan, how are you now? The pillar misses you. " Zhu You Yu looked through the crack in the door, the girl in red beside the bed, covered by a veil, looked inside, and suddenly the image of the girl in the white dress, smiling like a flower, appeared in her mind.

They had lost contact since their return from Mt. Tai. What was she doing now?

Tong Yan said that she didn't want to be the Crown Prince's consort. If she failed, it would be a beautiful thing for her! But how much Zhu You wish his princess consort was a child's beauty.

"Your Highness, are you thinking of Lady Tong again?" Zhou Tian knew that the Crown Prince was missing someone.

That girl who had gone through life and death with His Highness, a girl who didn't care about the position of Crown Princess at all.

"Today is the day the crown prince will be overjoyed. Your highness can't think about other women. If the crown prince's consort sees this, she'll be angry." Zhou Tian advised. In the palace, it was not easy for Zhu You to grow up with him. Zhou Tian was the clearest in the world, and he had to marry any woman he disliked, because it was chosen for him by Empress Dowager Zhou and the Emperor.

Zhu You Yu looked at Zhou Tian, hesitated for a moment, but his hand was still on the door, not pushing it open.

"I probably won't be able to see her again in this lifetime …" Zhu You sighed deeply. So what if they see each other again? His wedding was today, and it was impossible for her to enter the palace again.

I heard the door creak open.

Zhou Tian saw Zhu You hesitate and pushed open the door. " Your Highness, go in! "

"The bride must be getting impatient. Your Highness, please use your weighing stick to lift up the bridal veil. From now on, both of you are happy to have grown old together and have your sons." The wedding lady was afraid of missing the auspicious moment, so she quickly handed the weighing pole to the Crown Prince.

Who can wait, I can't wait to not come, under the red head, gradually uneasy.

The man lifted the top of my head bit by bit. I wanted to look up to see what the Crown Prince looked like, but I didn't dare.

I lowered my head and rubbed my hands together, anxious.

After the wedding banquet, Xia Xia went to guard the door, and when she saw that the crown prince had completed his task, she went out as well. The door creaked as it closed, leaving me and the crown prince alone.

He wore a vermilion bridal robe that accentuated his perfect tall figure. It was clean and bright, yet it did not lose the majesty of the royal family. His black hair was tied up with a gold crown and a gold belt was tied around his waist.

"Pillars?" When I saw it clearly, I was dumbfounded.

"It's you?" Zhu You Yu looked at the woman in front of him in shock. She was wearing a long gown made of fire red coiling dragon brocade, like a fiery red dress with butterflies' wings flying in the air. The gown was embroidered with bright golden lines.

Shock, amazement, amazement, disbelief, Zhu Youzi focused on me up and down.

The boy's appearance under the phoenix coronet and ceremonial gown was completely different from the girl in white and the weird man's attire. However, he couldn't be wrong about that beautiful face.

"Tong Yan?" [His princess consort is actually a virgin?]

"Are you the crown prince?"
