But Li Chen's reaction proved that he made the right move.
"Dad, what did you just say to the prince?" Su Jinpa asked curiously.
Su Zhenting watched Li Chen's carriage staggering away. He did not answer Su Jinpa's words, but said: "Jinpa, not long after the new year, the palace will come to propose marriage. My father plans to have some activities and bring you and His Highness together."
The wedding day will be brought forward to before June."
Su Jinpa was stunned and said hurriedly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Su Zhenting said meaningfully: "How long do you think the Lord can hold on?"
"Once the emperor dies, the prince must observe mourning for one year and cannot get married within one year. Do you know how many things will happen in this year? So you must get married in advance."
Su Jinpa said angrily: "In your eyes, are the interests of the family more important than your daughter's lifelong happiness? You are so eager to marry me off, you know that I don't want to be the princess!"
This time, Su Zhenting did not refute or get angry. He just said calmly: "You are a son and daughter of the Su family. This matter is not up to you. I have said similar things many times and I don't want to say more."
"You have been far smarter than your elder brother since you were a child. You should be able to tell that although the prince's treatment of you is based on the consideration of winning over my Su family, he does have some affection and admiration for you."
"In the emperor's family, this kind of emotion is the most luxurious thing."
"But don't be arrogant because of your favor."
"If you are willful as a father, I will only give you a few words of reprimand."
"But if you are too willful towards the prince, among the three thousand beauties in the harem, which one will not try their best to please him?"
"When the time comes, what advantages do you still have?"
"You will be miserable if you lose his favor."
"But at that time, my father can no longer protect you."
"Think clearly."
After saying that, Su Zhenting rolled up his sleeves and entered the house.
Standing at the door of his home, looking at the two pairs of majestic stone lions at his door, Su Jinpa still remembered that his father had said that when the late emperor bestowed upon his grandfather the title of great general, he ordered royal craftsmen to carve them from white marble.
, is a great gift from heaven.
The Su family has had a close and inseparable relationship with the royal family from the beginning, and now, this inheritance has fallen to itself...
The sky, which had been clear for two days, suddenly started to snow heavily. The snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and Su Jinpa felt cold.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Su Jinpa turned his head to look in the direction of the East Palace and pursed his lips.
On one side is the beautiful freedom that she yearns for when the sun rises and the sun comes in, the one and only person who can stay together forever and love each other, a perfect love.
On the other side are the father, brother, the lintel of the Su family, the prince in a red dragon robe, and the deep palace wall.
She had no idea how to choose.
However, I feel like I have no choice at all.
Her path seems to have been predestined.
"If you...were not the prince, maybe all this would not be so difficult."
Su Jinpa didn't know who he was talking to.
...
"It's snowing again."
Hearing Wan Jiaojiao's voice outside the carriage, Li Chen opened the curtains.
Sure enough, heavy snowflakes fell from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, a thin layer of white snow had piled up on the roadside and buildings.
