The Enchanting Imperial Concubine (Book 3)

Epilogue - Princess Jiayu (2)

"The elder sister is just being mischievous; she clearly came to see her fiancé but pretended to be a cousin."

The Fourth Princess twisted her waist, looking like a little fox up to no good.

At this, Zhou Jinyao finally understood, and his face turned as red as fire. He quickly lowered his head and clasped his hands in greeting.

"I greet both princesses! May the princesses be well!"

The Fourth Princess's eyes twinkled as she glanced between the two and grinned.

"Brother-in-law should pay his respects to elder sister first. I must go report back to the Emperor and Empress!"

With that, she led her attendants away quickly.

Now, only the two of them were left alone, and the atmosphere inevitably became a bit awkward.

"I-I didn't mean to deceive you..." The Eldest Princess bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Zhou Jinyao also felt his palms sweating. "No worries, no worries."

He wasn't particularly good with words, and after saying that, he fell silent.

Finally, the Eldest Princess calmed herself and opened the conversation.

"Choosing you as my fiancé is my own wish. My father let me choose, and I think you're good. Please don't let me down. If you treat me poorly after we're married, I will seek a divorce from you."

"Princess, please rest assured. I will treat you well. I...I'll bring you the stars and the moon!" Zhou Jinyao hurriedly said.

After saying this, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bite his tongue but thought he hadn't said anything wrong, so he added, "A man should cultivate himself, manage his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Managing the family means maintaining a harmonious household, and I will be devoted to my wife. If the princess becomes my wife, I will certainly treat her well."

His serious demeanor made the Eldest Princess feel uncomfortable.

She shyly nodded. "Then, I believe you."

At that moment, Rong Xian Fei sent someone to call the Eldest Princess back.

The Eldest Princess responded and looked up at Zhou Jinyao one last time. Unexpectedly, he was also looking at her, and they quickly averted their gazes.

"Young Master Zhou, please excuse me. I'll take my leave now." The Eldest Princess lowered her eyes and turned to leave.

But she hadn't walked far when a voice called out from behind.

"Princess, wait! This jade pendant was left by my late mother. I've worn it since I was young, and now I gift it to you as my heartfelt promise."

The Eldest Princess turned around to see the young man holding out a jade pendant with both hands.

Looking at the cord attached, it was indeed something he had worn for many years.

Warmth filled her heart as she smiled and accepted it, tying it around her waist in front of him.

With both sides having intentions, the marriage was naturally destined to succeed.

The engagement was set that year, and they married in October.

It goes without saying that it was a grand affair when the Emperor married off his daughter. The red decorations stretched for ten miles, and the procession circled around the capital.

The Zhou family was especially festive, with lanterns and decorations everywhere. The wedding procession scattered lucky money along the way, attracting thousands to line the streets to watch.
