The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 250: I'd pluck the moon from the sky to give to you

Pengyue and Zhao Li's story:

Since Pengyue was a child, she had been like the moon that was surrounded by the stars. Her chin was always raised arrogantly raised up, and she carried her long, red whip everywhere.

Once, when she was a child, her king father had lifted her onto his knee and asked her, "Yue-er, what kind of husband do you want in the future?"

The little her had held her head high as she said, "My husband has to be someone with an indomitable spirit and be very strong physically. He has to be able to defeat me in armed combat!"

She had always thought that only someone who could defeat her in combat was capable of conquering her and becoming her husband.

Yuzhen was a monogamous country. Life was prosperous and peaceful here. However, their neighboring country, the powerful Great Song, covetously eyed Yuzhen.

The day finally came when her king father summoned her and very apologetically said, "You might have to marry someone in Great Song."

"I don't want to!" Pengyue pouted. The men in Great Song had multiple wives and concubines. How could they be compared to the men in Yuzhen that wholeheartedly loved their wives? Besides, she didn't want to go somewhere that was so far from her home.

However, her king father said, "You're Yuzhen's princess. You're the only option."

Born to a life of luxury, it was only right that she made a sacrifice for her country. Pengyue cried for a long time before a compromise was made. Taking along her long whip, she went away to the distant Great Song。

On the way there, she thought about the types of men that she would meet. She would probably have to marry a reserved prince. He would probably be the graceful, mature, and reserved type? She had heard although there were plenty of men in Great Song that knew martial arts, Great Song's princes were refined and only knew Chinese boxing. Pengyue felt somewhat unhappy, and she was in low spirits during the entire journey.

Great Song's palace was bustling, and there were many women living there. When these women smiled, it looked very fake. Noble Consort Nie assigned two married women to be her companions. They would take her out for sightseeing.

She would probably look like these women in the future? Pengyue stealthily scrutinized them. The woman named Errong was livelier, but for some unknown reason, her face looked a bit sorrowful. She was probably worrying over her husband being snatched away by someone concubine? Next to her, the woman named Sangyu looked stylish and dignified. She secretly tried to mimic her mannerism, but she wasn't able to successfully copy it.

Great Song had three princes she could marry. Two of them already had main wives, so there was no way she would marry either of them and become a little concubine. There was one more prince left that she hadn't seen, but no one had mentioned him to her.

"Where's the second prince?" She couldn't resist asking one of the attendants.

The attendant shook her head. "We've made discreet inquiries about him, but no one knows about the second prince. It seems that he has no plans of meeting with Your Highness."

He was the rare prince that remained unmarried, and he wasn't going to see her? Pengyue felt somewhat curious. What kind of person was he?

Later on, when they went to the military training field in the afternoon, she saw him. They had said he hadn't wanted to meet her, but he was sitting there in his wheelchair and wearing a beautiful dark-colored robe that marked him as a prince. From a distance, he observed her.
