She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

While Chu Mingyue was enduring the discomfort of wearing wet clothes, she was forced to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people.

"I am also standing up for Sister Lin. We all know that Sister Lin is in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Xin'er, be careful with your words!"

Lin Rongyin interrupted the woman warily: "The selection of the Crown Princess is decided by the Emperor and the Empress. How can we make irresponsible remarks about the royal family?"

The woman seemed to realize that she had made a mistake and lowered her voice: "Sister Lin is right."

Lin Rongyin added: "I don't have any ambiguous feelings towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xin'er, don't say these things anymore. The Emperor and the Queen have already made their decision. It's not something you and I can arbitrarily arrange."

The voices of the two people gradually became smaller and finally disappeared. Chu Mingyue had no time to think deeply about what they said. She only felt a chill and heat in her body.

It is a hot summer day now. After standing here for a while, my thin summer shirt is half dry, but my hair is just no longer dripping.

Chu Mingyue had not yet fully recovered from the shock of her rebirth, and subconsciously turned around and walked towards the Lanyue Palace of her previous life.

But she had lived in the palace for three years in her previous life, but she was not very familiar with the layout of the harem. She was quite confused at this time. After wandering around, she finally found a familiar road and walked towards the imperial garden.

During the time in the palace, the Imperial Garden was the place Chu Mingyue was most familiar with besides her own Lanyue Palace, because no matter where she went she could see the loving scenes of Xiao Chongyu and Shen Weicang. Over time, she became less willing to go out.

In a trance, she saw the familiar figure in the imperial garden again.

"Chongyu..."

Chu Mingyue murmured to herself. The man was standing in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden with his back to her and his hands behind his back. Although he did not turn around, she would not mistake that figure even if it turned into ashes.

Chu Mingyue couldn't help but walk forward.

Chengyue turned around and looked curiously at the princess chosen by the emperor for his master, and was shocked.

Isn't this a little too casual, with her makeup and hair so messy, and she comes to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this. Isn't she afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will find fault with her and punish her for disrespect?

"Chongyu..."

He even dared to address His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by his name. Chengyue's eyes widened inwardly.

However, he still looked indifferent. He did not respond or pay any attention. He just stood there looking at Chu Mingyue.

Chu Mingyue took a few steps, a gust of wind blew, and she suddenly woke up.

This is not the previous life, and she is no longer the Chu Mingyue who loved Xiao Chongyu so much in the previous life that she cannot extricate herself. Why does she seem to be trapped in the painful past when she sees him?

Chu Mingyue collected her thoughts and bowed respectfully to Chengyue: "I am sorry for intruding. I did not mean to disturb your highness. Please forgive me. I will take my leave now."

Unintentional break-in?

Chengyue knew very well that since the emperor asked the prince to come to the imperial garden, arrangements must have been made long ago, and no outsiders would be allowed in except those he approved.

It seems that the princess chosen by the emperor for your highness is the one in front of you.

But how did the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo end up in such a mess?

And it seemed that she didn't know.

Chengyue decided to test it out so that he could explain to Xiao Chongyu when he returned.

"Miss Chu, do you really not know why you are here?"

Chu Mingyue felt a pain in her heart as she looked at his cold eyes: "I just came out of the lake, how could I know that Your Highness was here? Don't worry, Your Highness, since I said that I will not bother Your Highness again, I will definitely keep my word."

After saying that, she turned and left.

After Shen Weicang and Xiao Chongling said goodbye to each other reluctantly, they turned around and got on the carriage. The tender expressions on their faces could no longer be maintained.

Her maids Qingmei and Lumei massaged her legs attentively, while the other poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "Princess, have a cup of tea to cool down."

Shen Weicang took it, drank a sip, and put it back on the small table: "Where's mother?"

"The princess is in another carriage." Lu Mei replied.

Shen Weicang said impatiently: "Let's go back home."

The carriage moved slowly and gradually disappeared into the distance under Xiao Chongling's loving gaze.

Thinking about how Cang Cang had just called him Brother King Jing with affection in his arms, Xiao Chongling wanted to go to the imperial study immediately to ask his father to grant the marriage.

However, Princess Qingyang seemed not to be optimistic about his marriage with Cangcang. Thinking of the princess's expression just now, Xiao Chongling sighed inwardly.

To love someone is to want to give her the most perfect everything. Xiao Chongling is no exception. He hopes that his marriage with Cangcang can be praised and blessed by everyone. How can it be without Cangcang's family?

But Xiao Chongling really didn't understand why Princess Qingyang disliked him. Was it because the princess and the late queen were close friends?

While thinking about this, he went back to the palace to meet Queen Jiang in Kunning Palace.

"Mother."

Empress Jiang was pruning branches with a pair of scissors. When she saw him coming in, she put the scissors aside and asked, "Are you sending the princess back?"

"Yes."

The maid at the side handed over the wet towel. Queen Jiang wiped her fingertips casually and threw it back: "Ling'er, your mother is not trying to throw cold water on you. The King of Qingyang obeys the Queen of Qingyang. If the Queen of Qingyang disagrees, the King of Qingyang would rather disobey the order than agree to your marriage."

Xiao Chongling was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I understand."

Seeing her son so disappointed, Queen Jiang couldn't bear it: "It's not that I don't want to help you. Princess Qingyang and Di Wanfeng are close friends. Over the years, I have always felt that Di Wanfeng's death was related to me, and I have always been disgusted with me."

She walked to the table and sat down: "Ling'er, even though your father dotes on you, he still can't let go of Di Wanfeng. There's no guarantee that he won't soften his heart towards the prince again in a few years. You have to make plans early."

Xiao Chongling remained silent.

He didn't want to compete with Xiao Chongyu for anything. He just wanted to marry his sweetheart, assist him wholeheartedly for the rest of his life, and live a good life.

Queen Jiang saw his reluctance and sighed, "Ling'er, don't blame your mother for speaking harshly. Xiao Chongyu is not as harmless as he looks. Your father has already chosen Chu Mingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, as the Crown Princess. This shows that he is still optimistic about Xiao Chongyu. When he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely not show mercy to you."

Xiao Chongling said helplessly: "Mother, I have my own plans. It's getting late, so I can't stay for long. I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left. Queen Jiang looked at his back and shook her head helplessly.

My son is good in every way. He is elegant and handsome, but he is too upright and thus he is inevitably restrained in doing things.

Shen Weicang and Princess Qingyang's carriages returned to Qingyang Palace one after another. As soon as Shen Weicang got off the carriage, Princess Qingyang asked Shen Weicang to follow her back to Yusongyuan.

"Mother, didn't I tell you not to interfere with my relationship with King Jing?"

Shen Weicang couldn't help complaining as soon as he entered the room.

The folk customs in Beiye are relatively open-minded, and they are not very restrictive about young men and women getting along with each other. As long as they observe etiquette and do not overstep the boundaries, parents generally turn a blind eye.

Princess Qingyang looked at her disapprovingly: "Mother told you not to be too distant with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why didn't you listen to mother?"
