She only needed to bide her time until she was old enough to leave the palace and embrace a carefree and comfortable life.

In anticipation of that day, she could remain exceedingly quiet.

Yet, she never foresaw that she would still become a pawn in the power struggle among the princes.

The princes, the queen, Honored Princess Mei, and others all made their moves simultaneously. Before the Crown Prince could even react, the fate of the matter had already been sealed.

This left the Crown Prince disheartened and filled with sighs, for she was the sister he had looked after for so many years.

However, given the current circumstances, there was little the Crown Prince could do. Princess Shuangfu had reached the age when she could be married off.

Surprisingly, Empress Qi, Honored Princess Mei, and others suddenly began to describe him as a gentle and virtuous person. This delighted the Emperor, who believed he was the most suitable candidate for a marriage alliance. True to his word, he approved the match.

Due to this turn of events, the Crown Prince paid a visit to Princess Shuangfu in the palace. He wanted to offer her solace, but it proved difficult. He had promised to secure a suitable marriage for her and protect her for the rest of her life, yet he found himself reneging on that pledge.

Princess Shuangfu, however, remained composed. Her initial anger and fear had swiftly subsided. After all, what other choice did she have?

Born into the royal family, she had never possessed the autonomy to make her own decisions, not even the decision of her own birth.

Surprisingly, Princess Shuangfu ended up comforting the Crown Prince, intensifying his feelings of guilt.

With a forced smile, the Crown Prince inquired if she harbored any unfulfilled wishes. If she did, she should share them.

Princess Shuangfu’s eyes sparkled with longing. She wished to step out of the palace and explore the capital city. In her entire life, she had never ventured beyond the palace walls, let alone set foot in the imperial gardens or the capital city itself.

However, she had often heard other princesses speak of the bustling prosperity of the capital, and her curiosity compelled her to desire a glimpse of life outside the palace. She wanted to experience firsthand what Great Qin had to offer beyond the palace walls.

Upon hearing her wish, the Crown Prince’s heart was filled with sorrow. He nodded and assured Princess Shuangfu that he would arrange for her to explore the capital.

Princess Shuangfu beamed with a sweet smile, her lovely face radiating joy, and she had no lingering regrets.

The Crown Prince looked at her in a daze, only then realizing the true extent of Princess Shuangfu’s beauty…

Determined to make amends, the Crown Prince decided to discreetly enhance her dowry. This would enable Princess Consort to select valuable items from the East Palace’s warehouse, as well as appoint a few capable maids and servants, along with a dozen guards for her protection.

While Princess Consort should have consented, she hesitated. Who would willingly leave their hometown to marry a princess in a distant and unfamiliar land like Qingdi?

The fact that someone was willing to go should have been enough, and Princess Consort was reluctant to let her depart.

Before long, the Emperor issued an imperial decree, formally bestowing Princess Shuangfu and Prince Nuo Nuo as a marital pair to Qingdi.

Prince Nuo Nuo secretly met with Princess Shuangfu, and upon seeing her exquisite beauty and gentle demeanor, he felt content.

In the court, everyone celebrated, and the common folk rejoiced when discussing the matter. The union between the Princess of Qin and the Prince of Qingdi symbolized a closer relationship between the Great Qin Empire and Qingdi, suggesting that peace and stability would prevail for many years to come. It was a reason for collective joy!

As for whether Princess Shuangfu herself was happy, it seemed that no one paid much attention, or perhaps, no one cared.

She believed that this would mark the end of her involvement in the matter. However, to her surprise, the Emperor suddenly commanded Shao Yunduan to escort Princess Shuangfu to Qingdi.
