The two finished breakfast, changed their clothes, and went out.

"Second brother, I want to buy a dress, you can help me pick and choose." Chu Wanxiang pointed to a red embroidered peony skirt and said.

Chu Mohan bowed: "Okay."

He took Chu Wanxiang's hand and walked into the rouge shop.

The shopkeeper greeted them politely and beckoned them to go to the private room on the second floor for tea. Chu Mohan asked him to make a pot of tea.

Chu Mohan took a sip of hot tea and asked, "Shopkeeper, what has happened in the city recently?"

"Big deal...... shopkeeper thought, "there's no news. But...... Last night, the government issued a notice saying that the emperor had issued a holy decree to grant marriage and canonize Princess Changle as the third concubine."

Chu Wanxiang was slightly stunned.

How did she not receive the message.

Chu Mo said coldly, "Oh? Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Thank you." Chu Wanxiang said lightly.

Chu Mohan put down the cup and looked at her: "Xiangxiang, you ...... Aren't you happy?"

Chu Wanxiang shook his head: "How come? In the royal family, who doesn't look forward to their marriage. I am happy for my father and the queen mother, and I will be very happy to finally have a daughter-in-law by my side."

"If that's the case, why ......?"

"I just can't believe it." She lowered her eyes, "I'm always afraid it's a dream."

Chu Mohan paused.

Chu Wanxiang raised her head to look at him and said softly, "You are a child of the royal family, you should know better than me that your parents are in charge of marriage matters. I don't want anything but that you'll be safe and sound. As for the emperor's will, just let it be, it's just that I have wronged my imperial sister-in-law......

"Xiangxiang ......"

Chu Mohan's voice trembled, and the more she spoke freely and calmly, the more he felt that she had endured great sorrow and grievances.

"Imperial Brother......" her eyes reddened.

Chu Mohan hugged her tightly and stroked her shoulder: "Xiangxiang, don't worry, I promised you that I will protect you."

"Brother Huang, why are you still so stubborn?"

He was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke, "I swore that I would live up to you. In this life and this life, I will never marry another wife except you. If I break my promise, I will be ruined and destroyed."

Chu Wanxiang burst into tears: "Why don't you listen to me?"

"Xiangxiang, I can change those words, I can work hard if you like, but marriage, I can never give in. Because, I love you."

That night, the moonlight was as bright as a wash.

Chu Wanxiang stood by the window and stared at the moon flowers in the yard, with a lot of thoughts.

I am a soul that has traveled through time, but I have forgotten my original identity. Chu Mohan is her closest brother and the person she cherishes the most. They grew up together as childhood sweethearts and had a very close relationship with each other.

Such a beautiful time came to an abrupt end, and she couldn't accept it, and it hurt her heart. She didn't want to admit it, but the facts were in front of her.

She remembered what she had said to the original owner—

Xiangxiang, don't you think it's ironic?

yes, ironic indeed!

She is Chu Mohan's younger sister, and Chu Mohan actually fell in love with her brother.

How ridiculous!

"Xiang'er ......" There was a sound of footsteps.

Chu Mohan pushed the door in, saw her pale, and panicked: "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you? What's uncomfortable?"

Chu Wanxiang shook her head and reached out to hug him.

"Xiang'er, do you blame me?"

"Brother Huang." She choked up, "I never knew I was a princess, let alone ...... I will be your princess......

"I understand." Chu Mohan patted her on the back, "It's my negligence."

"It was my negligence."

"No, it was my negligence."

Chu Wanxiang bit her lip, her eyes were slightly red: "Brother Huang, I'm really sad, so sad, why are you it?" If it's me...... How nice it would be if it were me."

Chu Mohan felt guilty in his heart: "I failed you, and I'm sorry for my father's entrustment...... Xiang'er, don't worry, the imperial brother promised you that he will definitely protect you."

"However, I don't want to drag the royal brother down." Chu Wanxiang wiped the tears from her cheeks and showed a strong smile, "This matter is over, don't worry about it."

"Xiang'er, you are my only sister, I will never allow anyone to hurt you!" Chu Mohan's tone was firm and his expression was resolute.

Chu Wanxiang nodded and threw herself into his arms, tears wetting his clothes.

The next day, she packed up her things and was about to move to live in the other garden, but Chu Mohan stopped her and said, "Although the other garden is good, it is too remote after all, and it is not suitable for recuperation. Xiang'er didn't dislike it, so she stayed in the palace for the time being to recuperate, and then made plans when she recovered."

She refused to live in the palace for the simple reason that she was afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion and affecting the brother-sister friendship between her and Chu Mohan.

Chu Mohan couldn't resist her, so he had to compromise.

"Brother Emperor," she hesitated for a moment, "I still have something to tell you. I...... It was a woman disguised as a man and entered the palace."

Chu Mohan was surprised: "You...... Is it a girl?"

"Hmm." She lowered her head, as if ashamed, "Actually, I've been lying to you. However, I really just want to be with you and don't want to leave. Brother Huang, I really love you."

Chu Mohan was stunned for a long time before slowly holding her hand. Her hands were cold, like a piece of ice.

"Xiang'er, it's my fault, I shouldn't hide it from you. You are my favorite princess and the future heir of Great Qin, and I will not let you be wronged."

Chu Wanxiang raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead: "Don't worry, I will not let you down."

His gentle voice made the tip of Chu Wanxiang's nose sour.

Three days later, the decree came.

"The emperor has a decree to canonize the king of Chu as the marquis of Chu, and the marquis of Chu as the princess of Chu. A big wedding ceremony was held on an auspicious day, and a hundred taels of gold and ten pearl agate were given...... In addition, the eldest son of the prince was canonized as the emperor's grandson, and he was given the name Chu Muyan and the title of King Anyi."

Chu Wanxiang was not surprised when she heard the holy decree. Chu Mohan is the emperor's younger brother, they have the same root and the same origin, and their blood is thicker than water. She would not be stupid enough to question the emperor's favor for Chu Mohan.

Chu Mohan is also a prince, and it is not surprising that he was canonized as the Marquis of Chu. It's just that she is worried about Chu Duyun because he is the emperor's favorite prince. He has been on the throne for 20 years, and he has only one daughter under his knees, who is the original prince's concubine and now Zhaoyi Niangniang.

This woman has always been vicious, even if Chu Mohan is a prince, she is still a thorn in her eye.

Now that she is pregnant, I am afraid that she will pose a threat to Chu Mohan.

Chu Wanxiang thought about it, couldn't help frowning, and sighed secretly.

In an instant, five days passed.

Her stomach gradually bulged, and Chu Mohan stayed by the couch every night, rubbing the acupuncture points on her waist for her to help her reduce swelling and eliminate stasis.

After dinner, Chu Wanxiang was crooked on the soft couch, holding a medical book in her hand, and was reading it intently.

"Your Majesty." The palace maid came in and reported, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is invited."

Chu Wanxiang put down the scroll and got up, and went to the imperial study with the palace maid.

"Concubines see Your Majesty." Chu Wanxiang blessed his body and asked for peace.
