Chapter 393 Helping My Eldest Sister Conceal Her Romantic Relationship (5)
Is it just because she's pretty?
Throughout history, prominent families in the Yang Dynasty have never married overly beautiful women, but rather adhered to the principle of "marrying a virtuous wife and taking a beautiful concubine."
In people's eyes, a girl who is too beautiful must be restless.
This is one of the reasons why Guo Wanrong didn't harm Bai Ruofu when she was a child.
Who is Crown Prince Li Xiheng? He has seen all kinds of beautiful women.
He couldn't possibly be the kind of person who only cares about appearances.
There can only be one reason why he took a liking to Bai Ruofu: Bai Ruofu was outstanding enough.
-
Although Bai Ruofu did not stay by the old lady's side for long, the old lady genuinely liked her, was reluctant to let her get married, and hoped that she could live a good life.
On the eve of Bai Ruofu's wedding, the old lady held Bai Ruofu's hand and said earnestly, "Afu... the imperial family is ruthless, and men in high positions are inevitably sensitive and suspicious. Although Grandmother knows you are intelligent, in the future... you will inevitably make mistakes..."
"Afu, you must remember this: never give your heart to a man, always put your own interests first, and always love yourself, understand?"
"Grandmother, I remember!" Bai Ruofu leaned against her chest.
The old lady's ideas differed from those of most women in Yangchao.
She taught Bai Ruofu how to be a good wife and mother, but even more importantly, she taught her how to cherish herself.
Bai Ruofu liked this kind of grandmother very much.
-
Bai Ruofu officially married into the Eastern Palace, and Bai Ruoyun, as her elder sister, had to return to see her off.
After Bai Ruoyun married Gao Linchuan, she lost her first child. She became pregnant two or three more times after that, but each time she lost the pregnancy within three months.
In her quest to conceive, Bai Ruoyun tried countless folk remedies, and even secretly drank the lochia of postpartum women…
Bai Ruofu was clearly marrying into a higher social class, and her fiancé was the Crown Prince, so she could have chosen not to come to the wedding.
But Bai Ruoyun still saw His Highness the Crown Prince, riding a fine horse and with a big red flower on his chest that made his face look like jade, coming to greet Bai Ruofu in person!
Bai Ruoyun was so angry that she broke off her fingernails!
How can you do this?
The half-sister he had always bullied not only became the legitimate daughter, but also married the Crown Prince...
Jealousy enveloped Bai Ruoyun.
It made her unable to breathe.
Guo Wanrong was beside her, and ordered the nanny to support Bai Ruoyun to prevent her from fainting.
Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion!
-
After a day of investiture ceremonies, Bai Ruofu was so tired that her eyelids were drooping.
Only when Li Xiheng lifted her red veil did Bai Ruofu realize that it was all real...
She only met Crown Prince Li Xiheng once, yet he married her as his Crown Princess... Such an unbelievable thing really happened to her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Xiheng pinched her little cheek, but not too hard, afraid of hurting her.
"Your Highness, Afu is thinking...it's all so beautiful, like an illusion..."
"It won't feel the same in a little while."
-
Bai Ruofu only understood the meaning of Li Xiheng's words later.
That night, Li Xiheng was very patient at first.
He even watched as Bai Ruofu drank a small bowl of porridge.
After confirming several times that Bai Ruofu couldn't eat, he talked to her for a while.
Li Xiheng enjoyed listening to her talk about her childhood experiences, which made him feel closer to her.
Feeling that Bai Ruofu had eaten and drunk her fill, they carried her to the Jade Spring Pool in the East Palace...
This was built especially for her.
They met at a hot spring, and their first encounter must have taken place there...
