The blue love stone can resist harm, so it is also called the 'protection stone'. If given to a loved one, it represents lifelong protection.
She understood the blue love stone the moment she saw it, so she didn't object when her father told her about the engagement.
She used to be pestered by the prince every day. Although it was annoying, she was not too repelled. On the one hand, she was kind, and on the other hand, she was probably a little sincere.
When she saw the prince living alone and fearfully, she still felt pity in her heart, and she could understand some of his absurd actions.
But now that she knew that everything the prince had done in the past was just to defeat the enemy today, she felt even more happy, moved, admired, and loved.
It's a very complicated emotion. After you've been with a person for a long time, your feelings will fluctuate as things change.
So does she.
What's more, as a woman, especially the daughter of Prince Beiling, she originally had no control over her own marriage. But now that she has someone who likes her and has some feelings for her, she is already luckier than most women in the world.
*****
Wei Ning found out about her marriage to Situ Jing only two days later, when the emperor issued an order to announce it to the world.
She happened to arrive at the Regent's Mansion at that time. After Mu Zihan made a contract with her that day, she released him back to the Regent's Mansion. Although the Black Flag Army's military power was not returned for the time being, he was considered to have been absolved of his crime.
Today's Prince Regent's Palace is not as glorious as it used to be, but no one dares to underestimate it.
Because most people knew very well that the regent did not control the military power of the Black Flag Army, but the Black Flag Army was trained by him. It was invincible in the world, but it was only under his command.
Wei Ning was sitting in the yard, where a clump of green bamboo was growing very well. The warm sunlight filtered through the bamboos, casting golden light spots on the ground.
The bamboo shadow swayed slightly, and Wei Ning held her chin, waiting for the imperial doctor inside to diagnose and treat Mu Zihan. It was unfortunate that she came because the dressing on his injury happened to be changed, so she couldn't just go in and stay there.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! What a joy! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
A eunuch from the palace ran in from outside, panting and beaming with joy.
Wei Ning lazily raised his eyes and took a look, overjoyed?
As soon as the eunuch ran in front of her, he knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then said happily: "Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor has issued a decree to marry Princess Jing of Beiling Palace to Your Highness, and the wedding date will be next month!
"
"What?" Wei Ning didn't hear clearly. She didn't think marriage or anything had anything to do with her.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has granted marriage to you and Princess Jing! Princess Jing will become your crown princess next month!"
Regarding the prince's affection for Princess Jing, it was no secret in the palace. The eunuch just thought that the prince would be very happy when he learned that the emperor had granted marriage, so he rushed to report the good news.
Unexpectedly, after listening to this, the expression on Wei Ning's face was very exciting for a moment, including shock, astonishment, absurdity, frowning, depression, dumbfounding... but not happy!
What's going on? Why is His Royal Highness unhappy?
This is a marriage granted by the emperor himself. The imperial edict has been issued and spread throughout the country. The Imperial Heavenly Supervisor was also sent to select an auspicious day and send the bride price.
Wei Ning couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, pointed at the eunuch and asked, "How will Princess Jing react to this matter?"
She thought about Situ Jing's temper, how could he like her? Didn't she dislike her before?
