Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

So, the two of them started to make a snowman. Although the weather was cold and their hands were almost frozen, they were having a lot of fun.

"Princess, please go back to your room first. I'll go get a pot of rice wine to warm myself up."

"You go get ready first, I'll go in after I finish building this snowman."

After Fu Dong left, Jiang Xue continued her creation. Finally, she took off the jade hairpin on her head, let her long hair fly in the wind, and inserted the jade hairpin on the snowman she had just finished.

She made two snowmen in total, one representing herself and the other representing him - a perfect pair.

Hearing the familiar footsteps behind her, Jiang Xue couldn't help but smile, but she didn't look back, for fear that once she turned around, she would lose control of her emotions and run towards him.

"Little Snow!"

Xiao Zhan held up an umbrella to shield her from the wind and snow: "These two snowmen, one is yourself, and the other is me, right?"

"Yes, this is my birthday present to myself."

This moment seemed like returning to the age of eight, except that they were now adults.

Memories flooded my mind. On New Year's Eve that year, the capital was covered in snow. A banquet was held in the palace, and the emperor and his ministers celebrated the festival together.

Jiang Xue sneaked out of the banquet and unexpectedly met Xiao Zhan.

She pestered him to play with her like a little girl, and he built two snowmen as a birthday surprise for her.

Jiang Xue was very happy, but she accidentally knocked down the snowman's head and almost cried. Xiao Zhan gently repaired the snowman and made her laugh again.

This moment in my memory is so warm, as if it happened just yesterday.

Suddenly, Xiao Zhan put down his umbrella and hugged her tightly from behind: "Xiaoxue, I miss you so much."

Tonight, he didn't know she would be here, he just missed the sweet time in the past. Unexpectedly, he met his beloved here, which was an unexpected and wonderful encounter.

Jiang Xue did not respond, but just gently pressed her cheek against his chest.

Hasn't she been missing him these days?

As the snowflakes fell, they immersed themselves in each other's arms, as if they were the only two people left in the world!

"Your Highness, the rice wine is ready..."

When Fu Dong saw this scene, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

She never expected to meet Xiao Zhan here, let alone that he would be so bold as to embrace the princess intimately here, completely disregarding her existence.

Hearing Fudong's voice, the two turned around.

Fu Dong immediately scolded: "Xiao Zhan, not only have you failed the princess, but you also dared to show up here. You are simply lawless! Even if you are the Emperor of Beiling, I will teach you a lesson today."

Jiang Xue said calmly: "Fudong, this is Yun Che's home, he is not here to find us."

"I don't care, no matter where he is, it is wrong for him to appear in front of the princess."

"It's not his fault."

Jiang Xue smiled slightly: "In fact, I am very happy to see Yun Che here tonight."

"your Highness!"

“Fudong, Yun Che and I have something to say, so you can enjoy the rice wine by yourself. If you listen and stop making noise, consider this as my birthday present.”

When Fu Dong heard Jiang Xue say this, he didn't say anything more. He just glared at Xiao Zhan and left.

Xiao Zhan gently took Jiang Xue's hand and went back to the inner room together. He lit the charcoal fire, and the warmth slowly spread.

"Xiaoxue!" After a long separation, I have so many things to say to her.

But Jiang Xue gently touched his lips with her fingers: "Shh, Yun Che, silence is better than words at this moment."

Then she took the initiative to kiss him on the lips, although the coldness still remained between her lips and teeth.

Xiao Zhan hugged her tightly and expressed his longing for her in the past few days with a kiss.

It was windy and snowy outside, but the house was full of warmth.

After a while, Xiao Zhan stroked her hair and whispered:

"Xiaoxue, that concubine is just a false image set up to comfort my aunt and confuse the ministers in the court. You are always my only sweetheart."

"I know." She understood that he did this so that Madam Feng could enjoy her old age.

"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

“Yun Che, your aunt’s days are numbered, and we still have a long future ahead of us. I don’t feel it’s hard.”

Jiang Xue said softly that the past waiting was over and the time before her was more precious.

Xiao Zhan smiled, pleased with her trust.

“Yun Che, I’m tired.” She said softly.

He kissed her forehead tenderly: "Then go to sleep, I will keep watch tonight."

Jiang Xue leaned on his chest peacefully and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, when Xiao Zhan woke up, he found his arms empty. Jiang Xue had quietly left without him knowing when. They had clearly fallen asleep in each other's arms last night, but now she was gone. Where was she?

Early in the morning, when he was about to get up to look for her, his eyes fell on the small token she left on the pillow.

A strand of black hair was gently tied with a red string, lying quietly on the pillow. Xiao Zhan picked it up, his heart filled with tenderness.

This must be the black hair by his ear that Jiang Xue cut while he was sleeping.

He seemed to see her getting up quietly, carefully cutting her hair, and then tying it up carefully with a red string.

"I will give you my love, and we will spend the rest of our lives together." This was her vow to him, and he understood her feelings.

So Xiao Zhan also cut off his own hair and intertwined it with hers, weaving it into a knot that symbolized their emotions.

Then, he placed the precious love knot in a red sandalwood box and handed it to Qing Feng: "Send it to the princess's residence and keep it secret."

Fu Dong felt that since last night, Jiang Xue seemed like a different person, full of energy.

Although she liked seeing the princess so lively, she didn't want it to be because of the man who disappointed her - Xiao Zhan.

"Your Highness, have you and Xiao Zhan reconciled?" Fu Dong couldn't help but ask.

"We have never been apart, so how can we talk about getting back together?" Jiang Xue replied calmly.

Fu Dong was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that the princess would be so forgiving of Xiao Zhan who had betrayed her.

"But he broke your promise, married another woman, and made her pregnant."

"I really don't tolerate any sand in my eyes."

Jiang Xue said calmly: "But the concubine was not pregnant with Yun Che's child, but a play set up to appease his mother."

"So, Xiao Zhan is cheating on himself? Why would he do this?"

"Yun Che's aunt is seriously ill. Even the famous doctor Jiang Xiaoan can only guarantee that she will live for two to three years at most, and she needs to keep her mood happy."

Jiang Xue explained: “She noticed the relationship between Yun Che and me, and in order to reassure her, he had to take such action.

Although I have no special feelings for Madam Feng, and even feel a little annoyed by her, she is the person Yun Che regards as his biological mother after all. I don't want to make him sad, and I hope that Madam Feng can live longer."

Fu Dong was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Your Highness, Xiao Zhan is not lying to you, is he? You have always been smart and decisive, but you trust him too much."
