“You idiot! You don’t even know how to answer a question!” Princess Lingzhu was so angry that he kicked him away. He pulled another person away and shouted, “Answer, what happened between Princess Lingzhu and Wen Xiao?”
“Everyone in Princess Lingzhu knows what happened between Wen Xiao and Great Zhou,” the man said calmly. “The two of them had an affection for each other decades ago. They even caused a sensation when they eloped for love. Unfortunately, the result wasn’t very good. They were captured by King Zhendong.”
“What? Are you happy with each other? Elope for love?” Princess Lingzhu couldn’t help but open his mouth wide and was stunned by this matter.
In her original guess, she thought that Wen Xiaoxian and she only had a good impression of each other, but she did not expect that they would reach such a level. She even did such a thing as eloping.
“What you said is true? If there is a lie, I will definitely not let it go!” Princess Lingzhu said sternly.
“Young lady, why would I lie to you? No one in the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn’t know about this matter. Why don’t you find someone else to ask?”
Princess Lingzhu pushed him away and went to another place. He found someone to ask, but the result was still the same.
After asking five or six people in succession, they all gave the same answer. The truth of the matter was almost on the verge of being revealed.
“So my father has been lying to me!” Princess Lingzhu shed painful tears.
She was at a loss for what to do all day, wandering aimlessly through the busy streets until dusk when she returned to Zhendong Mansion, only to discover that her father, King Zhendong, was already waiting in front of the door.
“Father, why are you here?” Princess Lingzhu was a little flustered.
“Why did you go out so early in the morning? Why did you only come back now?” King Zhendong’s gaze was deep.
“I… I went out to play.” For some reason, Princess Lingzhu actually told such a lie.
“You went out for two days in a row. I thought something had happened. Yesterday, the butler reported to me that you asked about Wen Xiaoxian. Did you know anything?”
Princess Lingzhu lowered her head and did not dare to look at her father. She said, “I know a little. There are many rumors circulating outside. I want to find out.”
“There are rumors that you and Wen Xiaoxian eloped first in the outside world. Did you also know about it?” King Zhendong’s expression was dignified.
Princess Lingzhu took a deep breath and nodded, “That’s right, I asked a lot of people. They all said that. Please don’t lie to me, father. Did I really run away with him back then?”
“Hmph, what do they know? They’re just a bunch of boring melon eaters. They don’t know any inside information. If you listen to them, you’ll definitely be tricked.” King Zhendong snorted coldly.
“Father, please answer me directly. Was it true that you eloped back then?” Princess Lingzhu asked.
King Zhendong sighed, “Since you want to know so much, then I’ll tell you. That’s right, you did elope with Wen Xiaoxian back then.”
“Sure enough, it’s true!” Princess Lingzhu was panting.
“But things are not as simple as you think.”
“Could it be that there is something else hidden within?” Princess Lingzhu hurriedly asked.
King Zhendong said, “That’s for sure! Back then, when you ran away with Wen Xiao, you were completely deceived by him! When he tricked you out, Wen Xiao revealed his true colors first.”
“Deceive? Why did Wen Xiao deceive me first?” Princess Lingzhu asked.
King Zhendong gritted his teeth and said, “This fellow is simply a clothed beast. The reason he approached you back then was actually for fame, wealth, and power.”
“This person is utterly unscrupulous. He actually wants to kidnap you and sell you to Great Qin Dynasty so that he can threaten me.”
“Fortunately, before he escaped the border of Great Zhou, I caught him and saved you.”
“Otherwise, why did I have to oppose your marriage back then? If the two of you truly loved each other, I wouldn’t have spoiled you so much and disobeyed your wishes!”
“That’s the reason! How could I marry you to such an ambitious person?”
“After this matter, you have fallen into sorrow and pain. I can’t bear to see you decay like this, so I asked a Soul Master to seal your memories!”
“Now that you have gradually recovered, I didn’t expect that Wen Xiaoxian, the demon, would still be troubled. Daughter, you must not be tricked by him again!”
“Wen Xiaoxian is very good at acting. In the past, he used his innocent appearance to deceive you. You must properly polish your eyes! Don’t believe a single word of him!”
King Zhendong had a sad expression on his face as he squeezed out a tear from his eyes.
“So Wen Xiao was actually such a bad person first!” Princess Lingzhu said in disbelief.
“Of course. Otherwise, why would I have to stop your marriage? Since childhood, when have I ever rejected anything you want? Wen Xiao was a good looking person. He reached the eighth level of the Xiantian Realm at a young age. He is also a good person.”
“Is that really the case?” Princess Lingzhu said with some uncertainty.
“That’s for sure. Don’t tell me you don’t trust your father?” King Zhendong’s expression turned grim.
“No, I believe in father. You will definitely not harm me!”
“Don’t ever come into contact with Wen Xiao again in the future. Do you understand? Lest you fall for his trap again! This fellow is definitely uneasy and kind-hearted.”
“Yes, I will listen to Lord Father. I wrongly blamed you just now. Don’t be angry.” Princess Lingzhu was suddenly enlightened and smiled again.
“Haha, why would I be angry with my obedient daughter? Let’s go, let’s go in now!”
…
Three days later, the engagement banquet between Princess Lingzhu and Jiang Tianlin officially began. Many influential families were invited to attend.
Although it was only an engagement, not a real marriage, under the witness of so many important people, it was impossible for this marriage to go back on its word.
Jiang Tianlin was filled with high spirits. Although he had lost the competition, he had won the beauty’s return. Naturally, he was in a very happy mood.
This Princess Lingzhu was the woman Li Qing’s Eldest Senior Apprentice Brother, Wen Xiao, longed for first. In the end, he was married to Jiang Tianlin. One could imagine that Li Qing’s mood at this moment must be extremely bad.
As long as he could disgust Li Qing, he would be very happy.
His arm had originally been broken by Li Qing, but now he had recovered as before. Obviously, he did not know what miraculous medicine he had used to recover.
There were still many magical treasures in the world, and it was not impossible to recover an arm.
There weren’t so many rules for engagement banquets in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and most of the martial artist worlds were like this. The parents of both men and women gathered together and officially exchanged marriage certificates.
“After I marry Princess Lingzhu, I must show off in front of Li Qing and Wen Xiao and vent the hatred in my heart!” Jiang Tianlin gritted his teeth and thought.
Many guests rejoiced as they witnessed the betrothal ceremony. Just as Prince Zhendong and Jiang Tianlin’s father were about to exchange marriage certificates, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, “Li Qing is here!”
Everyone was stunned and looked outside. Li Qing walked in with Wen Xiao.
“This place is so lively.” Li Qing smiled.
“Li Qing, what are you doing here?” King Zhendong frowned.
“I’ve received an invitation. Why can’t I come?”
“Invitation?” King Zhendong couldn’t help but be stunned. He didn’t dwell on this matter and said, “Those who come are guests. Sit down and witness the engagement ceremony between my daughter and Jiang Tianlin!”
Princess Lingzhu and Wen Xiao glanced at each other first. Inexplicable sparks erupted in the void, but both sides quickly put their heads away at the same time.
Li Qing casually took a seat. Seeing this scene, he smiled and said, “The etiquette of your Great Zhou Dynasty is complicated. What kind of engagement ceremony is there to be held? After the engagement, if Princess Lingzhu doesn’t want to marry, can you go back on your word?”
“Hmph, how can I go back on my parents’ orders and the words of the matchmaker?” King Zhendong said expressionlessly.
“You can’t go back on your word. Then you have to think about it carefully. Princess Lingzhu, you must already know about the relationship between you and my senior brother, right? Do you still insist on marrying Jiang Tianlin?”
“You’re all big liars, I don’t believe you!” Princess Lingzhu said coldly.
“Liar? What do you mean?” Li Qing was stunned.
“Li Qing, I respect you as a guest. That’s why I allowed you to stay here. If you continue to cause trouble like this, don’t blame me for being impolite,” King Dao Zhendong said angrily.
“Alright, alright, I won’t cause any trouble, alright?” Li Qing laughed.
“That’s more like it. No one thinks you’re mute if you don’t speak.” Prince Zhendong’s expression softened. He said to Jiang Tianlin’s father, “After we exchange marriage certificates today, we will officially become in-laws. Everyone, witness together.”
The two of them picked up a red thread and handed it to each other.
“Wait!” Li Qing said.
“Li Qing, what do you mean?” King Zhendong’s expression turned cold.
“I just feel that this matter is unfair to Princess Lingzhu. Her memories are sealed, she knows nothing, and she is kept in the dark. Why don’t you unlock her memories today, Your Highness?”
King Zhendong slapped the table and said, “Get out of here!”
Li Qing stood up and stopped giggling. He sighed and said, “Why did Your Highness have to be so decisive? Even if he is afraid of your daughter’s old love rekindling, there is no need to rush to marry her out. Do you think she will be happy like this? What if she recovers her memories one day?”
“It’s none of your business. Get out of here!” King Zhendong looked like he wanted to hit someone.
If there weren’t so many guests here and he didn’t want to make things big, he would have slapped Li Qing and Wen Xiao out first.
“Alright, I’ll go out immediately. But before that, my Eldest Brother has something that he wants to return to Princess Lingzhu. Please make it convenient.” Li Qing said.
“What tricks do you want to play? No way!” King Zhendong was furious.
“Father, let him take out his things. From now on, everything will be cut off.” Princess Lingzhu said.
“Daughter, don’t be deceived by these two!” King Zhendong said.
“Father, this is the last time. Let’s take it as the end.”
King Zhendong hesitated for a moment and nodded, “Alright, you two quickly take out your things, then you can scram. You are not welcome here!”
Li Qing turned around and said to Wen Xiao, “Big Senior Brother, hurry up. Didn’t you say that you have something to give to Princess Lingzhu?”
“I…” Wen Xiaoxian stood there for a moment, hesitating.
“Hurry up, I’m so anxious. If you don’t take it out, there won’t be a chance in the future!” Li Qing urged.
“Alright.” Wen Xiao walked slowly to Princess Lingzhu and took out a handkerchief.
“You gave me this handkerchief back then. Since you’re getting engaged today, I’ll return it to you.” Wen Xiaoxian’s voice was low as he handed over the handkerchief, his hands trembling slightly.
After a moment of silence, Princess Lingzhu took the handkerchief over. There was actually a piece of embroidery on the handkerchief, embroidered with peach blossoms.
There was also a poem written on it, “Flying flowers are as light as dreams, and boundless rain is as thin as sorrow.”
In fact, this embroidery was not very good-looking. The peach blossoms looked a little crooked and lacked any charm. It could be considered a clumsy work.
However, when Princess Lingzhu saw this, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth tightly, and tears began to flow down his face.
Seeing this, King Zhendong immediately roared at Wen Xiaoxian, “Since you’ve already returned the item, why don’t you get out of here?”
“Let’s go.” Li Qing sighed and pulled Wen Xiao, who had lost his soul, to leave this place first.
“Haha, this is just an episode. Everyone, don’t worry. Let’s continue with what happened just now.” Zhendong Dynasty cupped his hands and said.
Following that, the two parties exchanged marriage certificates, which could be considered to have officially reached the engagement agreement. Princess Lingzhu did not stop him and sat there with a blank expression.
Everyone was delighted with the perfect result. Everyone laughed happily, except Princess Lingzhu, who was a little uneasy.
“What’s wrong with Princess Lingzhu? He seems a little unhappy?” Someone said.
“Nothing much. She’s just a little unwell. Actually, she’s still very happy in her heart. Haha.” King Zhendong laughed dryly.
“Father-in-law, may I know when I will officially marry sister Lingzhu?” Jiang Tianlin asked.
“What are your plans?” King Zhendong asked.
“Of course, the sooner the better. If we can handle this matter within this year, it would be the best.” Jiang Tianlin felt a little itchy.
“I’m happy to see it succeed, but I still have to ask Lingzhu what he means.” King Zhendong turned around and said, “Lingzhu, what do you think?”
“Huh? What?” Princess Lingzhu came back to his senses.
“Tianlin wants to marry you within this year. Do you agree?”
“Married within this year? Isn’t that too fast? I’m not very familiar with him.” Princess Lingzhu frowned.
“Feelings can be nurtured slowly after marriage.” Jiang Tianlin smiled charmingly.
However, seeing this smile in her eyes, she somehow felt a little disgusted. She shook her head and said, “The door to the Void World is about to open. I’m afraid it’s too late for you to enter when the time comes, right?”
“This is also a problem.” Jiang Tianlin pondered for a moment and said, “Then let’s get married before the Void World Gate opens.”
“Too anxious. It’s better to wait a few more years.”
King Zhendong said, “Since that’s the case, I won’t force you for the time being. When you want to get married, let me know.”
“Thank you, father.” Princess Lingzhu nodded.
…
Li Qing and Wen Xiao walked out of the mansion first. They were in a bad mood. After all, it was not a pleasant thing to be kicked out in public.
“Strange. Logically speaking, Princess Lingzhu should have already found out about the past with you. Why is his attitude so strange?” Li Qing was puzzled.
“She called us liars. What’s going on?” Wen Xiaoxian did not understand.
Li Qing guessed, “Could it be that Prince Zhendong used some kind of trick to discredit us in front of Princess Lingzhu and describe us as liars?”
“I suppose that’s the case.”
“Ai, what a pity. I originally wanted to use this opportunity to make a big fuss over Zhendong Mansion, but in the end, I was unable to make a fuss. Things are heading in a bad direction.”
“Presumably, the engagement ceremony has already been held in the manor. In the end, Lingzhu and I are still destined to be separated.”
“I originally wanted to use your affection token with Lingzhu to awaken some of her memories so that she could reject this marriage, but I failed.” Li Qing shook his head in disappointment.
“It’s useless. Lingzhu’s memories have been sealed. These methods won’t work.”
“Speaking of which, what exactly is that love token of yours? Why is it so ugly?” Li Qing asked with interest.
‘”The embroidery on this handkerchief was actually personally embroidered by Wen Xiao back then. You know that this young lady has never done such a delicate work before, so her craftsmanship is very rough, so it’s a bit ugly,” said Lingzhu softly with a look of recollection in her eyes.
“But it’s also her first work. It has extraordinary significance. Giving it to me can be considered a token of love, right?”
“Flying flowers are as light as dreams, and endless rain is as thin as sorrow … This poem is the scene of our first meeting that year.”
“The first time I met Lingzhu was in a peach blossom forest, when the wind blew petals and the sky was drizzling. The scenery was beautiful.”
“I still remember that she was wearing a light blue dress and a white veil. She walked over with peach blossoms. She really looked like a fairy in a painting.”
Li Qing sighed, “Hearing these words, I feel that it is a pity to forcefully separate a couple of lovers like you. No, I have to think of other ways.”
“Forget it. After getting engaged, there’s no room for regret. Unless you run away like before, but there’s obviously no chance.” Wen Xiao smiled bitterly.
“Elope? That’s a good idea.” Li Qing’s eyes lit up.

“I still remember that she was wearing a light blue dress and a white veil. She walked over with peach blossoms. She really looked like a fairy in a painting.”
Li Qing sighed, “Hearing these words, I feel that it is a pity to forcefully separate a couple of lovers like you. No, I have to think of other ways.”
“Forget it. After getting engaged, there’s no room for regret. Unless you run away like before, but there’s obviously no chance.” Wen Xiao smiled bitterly.
“Elope? That’s a good idea.” Li Qing’s eyes lit up.
