Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

So that's what happened.

"Since you've discovered it, why have you never appeared before me?"

That's too restrained. It's just a greeting from an old friend; she's not going to kill someone to cover it up.

"Since the princess is leaving the palace in secret and traveling incognito, she naturally does not want to be discovered. I will just take a look from afar."

I know the princess enjoys listening to music there, and I know she often exchanges musical scores with the people there. On several occasions, I've listened quietly from a private box while the princess played the pipa.

"At that time, I always felt that the princess's pipa music was somewhat lonely, which made people feel sad. I was really curious about what sad things the princess had. After paying attention to it for a long time, I don't know why I came to like it."

I will not regret admitting my feelings today, but the princess need not feel burdened.

Marriage is a matter of fate. If my love is unrequited, I will naturally bear the bitter consequences. Princess, you need not sacrifice your life for my one-sided affection!

Is her music lonely?

Tang Yu often listened to folk songs in teahouses, occasionally exchanged scores with the musicians, and even played a few songs himself when the mood struck him.

Some of the pieces I've forgotten the names of, but they all express emotions, so of course they can't be played in the palace, or people will notice the music.

Therefore, Tang Yu liked to secretly exchange musical pieces with people in the teahouses of the city, but unexpectedly, Wang Kuan discovered it in this way.

"As you can see, I'm not a well-behaved, dignified, gentle, and virtuous woman. I even sneak out in the middle of the night."

I've been seen in many teahouses and taverns; I'm not exactly a model citizen. Are you sure your future wife can tolerate that kind of personality?

The implication in those words made Wang Kuan unable to help but reveal a delighted smile.

“Princess, there is no need to test me. In my opinion, the so-called dignity, gentleness, and virtue are nothing but shackles imposed on women by the world, with the purpose of making it easier to manage the women of the world.”

People in this world are inherently diverse, each with their own unique temperament. However, some people, for the sake of convenience, attempt to mold everyone into the same character, thinking that this would make the world easier to manage. Little do they know that this is a grave mistake.

Everything in the world has its own value and meaning. The same applies to people; everyone should be allowed to express their true nature, rather than being forcibly confined to a predetermined pattern.

Chapter 7 Do You Know? + The Young Swordsman of the Song Dynasty 7

A month later, the assassination attempt had subsided.

Bianjing has now returned to its former bustling state, and something even more exciting is about to happen.

Princess Changyang will prepare a grand coming-of-age ceremony.

Those qualified to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony are all from the most elite and privileged class.

Princess Pingning was surprised to discover that the royal family's prodigy had also participated in the coming-of-age ceremony.

In theory, men should not participate in such ceremonies.

Soon, the grand ceremony began, with Tang Yu dressed in magnificent attire.

"On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to add Yuanfu. Abandon your young aspirations, follow you and become virtuous. The test of longevity is only Qi, and you will be blessed."

The chief guest loudly recited the blessing, and then began to comb the hair and add the hairpin.

After changing clothes, she underwent a second hairpin ceremony, and finally, there was an even more elaborate ceremony where she was adorned with a magnificent phoenix crown.

The worship hearing will follow.

After the entire ceremony was over, Tang Yu was so tired that she wanted to lie down, but there was something even more important to do next: the emperor announced the bestowal of marriage on the spot.

Thus, the entire city of Bianjing learned today that Princess Changyang and Wang Kuan had been betrothed.

Wang Kuan was born into the illustrious Wang family and was known as a child prodigy from a young age. As he grew up, he was called the "unicorn of the Wang family".

Such a wealthy and eligible bachelor instantly became the son-in-law of the royal family, causing all the daughters in Bianjing to sigh with regret that very night!

“Madam, I remember your two families have some dealings, since you both share the surname Wang.”

That evening at the Sheng family residence, Sheng Hong couldn't help but talk about the marriage, as it was the hottest news in Bianjing that day.

"We share the same ancestor from hundreds of years ago, but we split into different branches back then. Over the years, we've supported each other in officialdom, so we can be considered relatives. What, do you have any thoughts on this?"

Sheng Hong did have such thoughts. Although the eldest daughter's father held a high position and was honored with a place in the Imperial Ancestral Temple after his death.

But since the next generation is only mediocre, the father-in-law's family has already declined somewhat.

However, in officialdom, kinship is highly valued. The father-in-law's family has this relationship with the Wang family, and now that Wang Kuan has become the son-in-law of the crown prince, he has directly become the brother-in-law of the crown prince.

Wang Kuan's father is currently a Vice Chancellor, equivalent to a deputy prime minister. With such a high position and great power, if you round it up, isn't the Sheng family also considered relatives?

Few people in officialdom don't dream of getting promoted.

Now that the Crown Prince's power base is secure, who wouldn't want to cultivate a good relationship with the next emperor? Isn't this a perfect opportunity to break through?

Sheng Hong then smiled.

"Madam, you might as well visit your parents' home more often, so that your brother-in-law won't forget about this family."

The old lady was originally prepared to refuse.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that my daughter is getting older and it's time to prepare for her engagement. If we get to know each other better, we might be able to find her a good match.

“Your words make sense, sir. I understand.”

Tang Yu wasn't too concerned about what kind of commotion this arranged marriage caused in Bianjing.

What excites her now is that the emperor has given her a right to leave the palace freely with her waist token, as long as she returns before the palace gates close.

The day after her coming-of-age ceremony, Wang Kuan arranged to meet her at a certain place after she left the palace.

It is said to be behind the Imperial Academy, a place with a very artistic atmosphere.

After arriving by carriage, Tang Yu had just lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out when Wang Kuan reached out his hand.

Tang Yu smiled and reached out her hand. Just as Wang Kuan was about to help her down from the carriage, Tang Yu smiled and withdrew her hand.

"I don't want to walk today, I want you to carry me inside, will you agree?"

Wang Kuan smiled, then stepped forward and stretched out his hands.

Tang Yu laughed out loud, then bent down and hugged the other person directly. Wang Kuan immediately hugged the other person tightly.

Then, Tang Yu was carried by the other person to a very quiet courtyard.

Leaning against the other person's chest, Tang Yu intimately asked, her lips close to the other's chin.

"Everyone says Wang Kuan is a well-known gentleman. Although we are engaged, shouldn't our current intimacy be considered improper?"

Teasing upright gentlemen is what Tang Yu likes to do most now.

"Etiquette and laws are designed for human relationships. Although they are important, they are not as important as the human heart. Although the princess and I are not yet married, we are already engaged."

If the princess finds pleasure in teasing me, then of course I should risk my life to accompany her.

"You'd even be allowed to be intimate with other women?"

These words instantly made Wang Kuan's expression turn serious.

"Of course not. I like princesses, but if a princess asks me to do something wrong, I will naturally refuse."

These words didn't anger Tang Yu; instead, they made her find it even more interesting.

"If I asked you to kiss me right now, would you agree or not?"

Wang Kuan didn't answer immediately, but blushed and then lowered his head slightly to kiss his cheek.

"Is the princess satisfied?"

Tang Yu felt guilty and buried her head in Wang Kuan's arms, laughing uncontrollably.

It would be very interesting to spend your life with someone like that.

Tang Yu agreed to the marriage because she was moved by the other party's personality.

Now, getting to know each other is becoming more and more interesting.

"Maybe you'll only be satisfied if you kiss me one more time?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu tilted her head back, her face beaming with a smile, her alluring eyes revealing an indescribable cunning. Her full, rosy lips were an inviting, silent gesture.

Wang Kuan liked the princess. From the moment he started paying attention to her pipa playing, he always wanted to make her happy.

But now that they were truly engaged, with the princess in his arms and inviting him with such alluring charm, Wang Kuan suddenly realized that being a gentleman seemed somewhat difficult.

The princess looked at him so beautifully, her eyes inviting, her lips like the petals he had once touched, red and soft, making him want to pluck them.

The princess's voice, like a gentle spring breeze, caressed the softest part of one's heart, causing it to tremble involuntarily.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness, I may have been somewhat offensive."

Before Tang Yu could continue teasing the other person after saying this, the person in front of her had already slowly walked forward and sat on the stone bench.

The next second, just as Tang Yu felt herself sitting on the other person, the person in front of her slowly lowered their head.

Driven by delusions, Wang Kuan approached the place he most longed to be close to.

He parted his lips slightly and gently took the delicate petal into his mouth, intending only to explore the fragrance of the flower and stop short of taking a small sip.

But he had already foreseen his fate, knowing that he would inevitably offend the other party.

Then the delicate pecking began uncontrollably, like savoring flower petals.

The sweet scent enveloped my entire being, making me want to go deeper and get closer.

It turns out that being intimate with someone can be so addictive.

Tang Yu felt that the peck was extremely gentle. She smiled and gently bit him, and Wang Kuan's hands, which were holding her body, couldn't help but tighten a little.

"Princess, this must not continue..."

Wang Kuan struggled to lift his head. The woman's slender body wrapped around him like vines, soft and alluring. Wang Kuan felt he couldn't go on like this any longer.

It's truly hard to contain one's emotions.

Tang Yu didn't make things difficult for the other person anymore. Instead, she gently put her arms around the other person's shoulders and asked with a smile.

"Did you like what just happened? Have you ever dreamed about doing this to me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Kuan's face turned bright red, but he still answered the question sincerely.

"I am overjoyed that the princess is like this. She was not so presumptuous in the dream; it was I who was presumptuous!"

These words made Tang Yu unable to suppress the smile on her face.
