The clothes are all white with a hint of lily patterns at the end. Her hair was braided and they placed some pins that is crusted with white diamonds on the braided part they wanted to let Lei lei wear lots of bangles but Lei lei opted for a single red jade braclete which made her skin allot more whiter. Lastly was the pink veil to cover her face.

There Lei Lei walked the cobbled stones slowly with confidence. Her dress was so simple yet it made her like a fairy. Accompanied by the veil that gave off a mysterious vibe on what she looks like. Her slim figure walked until it reached the emperor. " Greetings to your highness" as she bowed. "You may stand."

As soon as she stands she immediately proceeded to take her seat at the front tables.

As soon as the party would be starting the prince suddenly stood up. "I would like to make an announcement. This prince would like to tell everybody that I already have someone I like and nobody can stop me. This prince is asking for forgiveness to the emperor. Su Ming." As he gestured for her to come up beside him.

"Mu Lei lei this prince would like to request for mutual separation for the both of us. I do not love you and has no intention on marrying you. You have a hideous reputation and face since the accident. This prince does not want to have a scarred princess by my side."

The crowds gasps and lots of people were whispering.

People began to whisper that the girl Mu Lei lei do not the prince? Everybody knows how obsessed she was to the prince.

The emperor sighs, the event has not begun yet but there were so.many issues already. He thought that maybe he was wrong in his past decision. He began to frown. " Mu Lei lei are you sure you want to break this off? You as a maiden will be labeled as a discarded woman if you break this and will have a hard time finding a husband."

The general stood up from his seat. " Requesting the emperor for me to speak."
