Today is a day that is very much in the future by everyone in the palace how not today is the engagement day of princess Han Minning with a prince from the kingdom of Ciaze.
The palace became more crowded due to the arrival of invited guests from various regions to congratulate the Hunxe imperial family. The emperor and the queen were seated at the very center of the hall while the other imperial guests were seated at the VIP hall.
Han Minning was currently wearing a red wedding dress with a phoenix embroidery decoration using golden thread. Han Minning sat in front of a sizable glass and revealed her beautiful face. However, after staring at himself in the mirror he snorted in annoyance. Because this morning he saw one of Han Yuxia's servants who made him remember the sister he hated so much. Her beauty can indeed bring down the city but her sister has a beauty that can even bring down a country. It was this that made her even more resentful towards Han Yuxia.
"oh my daughter you're so beautiful in that dress as if it was created just for you" the queen said suddenly which caused Han Minning to gasp in shock.
"your mother is exaggerating" Han Minning said shyly as she was praised by the queen.
"my daughter you are my most beautiful daughter I have ever born. So why are you still ashamed of your excess" "And again your future husband is very handsome he is also a crown prince of the Ciaze empire. My daughter soon you'll be crown princess of Ciaze"
"yes, mom"
"alright, mother will come out first to wait for the arrival of your future husband Ning'er" after which the queen went to the main hall where the engagement was held.
In the Ciaze Empire it was almost the same as the Hunxe empire where many hung lanterns and decorations in every corner of the kingdom. On the other hand a girl was sitting in an elite restaurant that existed in the empire. The girl was very calm and he vanished as if there was no sound bothering her. The girl suddenly smirked after seeing a young man coming from the door. The young man then sat down in front of the girl then said with regret.
"sorry Xiao Yu I'm late"
"hm* is okay. I know how busy you are as a prince" the girl said calmly.
"don't be like that Xiao Yu. You are also a princess so you should not say so" said the young man, wrapping his hands around his chest.
"alright"
"hmm Xiao Yu why did you call me here? You should be able to go to the palace very easily instead of looking for me?" ask the young man in wonder.
"i just want a private talk here"
"talk about what?" ask the young man confused.
"I can help you become the crown prince" the girl then spoke seriously.
"WHAT!?" Screeched the young man
"are you seriously Xiao Yu? What if you don't agree? Anyway my brother today will be engaged to the royal princess Hunxe and has been assured that my father will further support my brother to the throne"
"i can make the emperor's father change his mind easily" said the girl calmly."how? Do you want my brother?"
The young man was dazed for a moment at the words of the girl he called Xiao Yu. He seemed to hope that the girl's words could be proven but however his father was very supportive of his brother and increasingly biased towards him because he could be engaged to Han Minning's daughter.
"brother?" call the girl who causes the lemuda to return to his senses.
"alright, Xiao Yu this time I will try your advice" the young man said after a long thought.
"alright, my brother Chen Jingyu" "it is very easy to make you as the crown prince and replace second prince Chen jingle easily" the girl continued.
"how's it going?" the young man asked inadvertently was Ciaze's third prince, Chen Jingyu.
"i want her to be humiliated right when she gets married. However, I want him to be able to get down from his position right now. Will you be able to grant her Xiao Yu?"
Chen Jingyu hated his brother and the girl so much? He already knew everything about why Chen Jingyu hated his brother.
7 Years ago where before Chen Jingyu met Xiao Yu. Chen Jingyu was a very weak prince and was even made an easy target to bully. 7 Years ago just in winter Chen Jingyu was dragged from his yard to the pond that was in the courtyard by the other princes. The sick Chen Jingyu was unable to resist and broke free from the hands of a prince who clutched his hands red. Chen Jingyu back then was only wearing thin clothes in extremely cold air. He shivered in the cold however, no one moved to help him as if he was just a poor animal that would attend the king of Yama. a boy then walked ahead of the crowd of people who were watching as if it was a spectacular show. The boy was none other than the second prince Chen Jingle who was the crown prince. Chen Jingle then pushed her whip towards Chen Jingyu so firmly that her clothes were covered in blood with flesh torn from the whip. Chen Jingyu only grimaced to hold herself back from shouting because in principle no matter how weak she was she would complain or stand by no matter how much pain she was in.
After Chen Jingle was satisfied whipping Jingyu she then drowned Chen Jingyu into the ice pool. Chen Jingyu could only give up on his life. The wound caused by Chen Jingle's lash was very painful when it came into contact with the almost frozen pool water. Shaking Chen Jingle and his group after seeing Chen Jingyu further into the pool they left.
In the pool of Chen Jingyu who was getting drowned began to feel tightness and pain in his chest his vision began to blur and it was as if he was about to meet death. Chen Jingyu's eyes began to close with a last sigh before fainting.
I don't know how long Chen Jingyu Chen Jingyu's consciousness took until his eyes began to open slowly. Chen Jingyu thought that she was dead but before understanding everything the voice of the girl suddenly sounded.
"are you awake?" ask the girl.
"..."
"you are still calm" said the girl. Then continuing "your wounds have healed it is only a superficial wound and for you who are sinking it.... Maybe if I'm a little late you'll die for nothing"
Chen Jingyu began to understand why he had no more pain due to Jingle's lash injuries and was lying on a bed that was quite simple but luxurious.
"thank you"
"hn*" "you don't need to thank me for helping you because I need something from you" the girl said. Chen Jingyu was confused by the girl's words. Need her? It felt impossible to need something from a prince with a weak position like himself.
"no need to be confused there will be a time when I will need you to carry out a plan" "for the time being I don't charge anything for his compensation as for your weak self I can train you to become stronger"
"train me?"
"right"
"but I don't know who you are and again you seem to be younger than me" Chen Jingyu grew curious about the girl's words as if she had some kind of method to make her grow stronger.
"oh right, you don't know me but I know you very well"
Then the girl continued "you are the weak third prince, Chen Jingyu. The prince who has always been the source of the royal court as for your beautiful face is useless for getting the emperor's affection and ......"
Chen Jingyu grew grim as he heard one word after another that the girl said.
"how am I right prince Chen Jingyu" said the girl suddenly after a briefing on Jingyu.
"well, that's right"
"hn*" the girl then put on her head "oh you must be curious about my name"
Chen jingyu nodded her head enthusiastically as it was the thing she wanted to know.
The girl then said "...
