Xiao Yanjun: Fourth prince/ past life scum
“Young master, young master? Master! The young master is awake!!” A crisp female voice came to her ears, shouting with joy, and stumbling out of the door.
Xia Chu was a little stunned. She is awake? Woke up??? She covered her mouth in fright. She looked down at her hands. These are her hands, but they shouldn't be her hands; these are a pair of immature little hands. The problem is that it's too small. She straightened up, spread her arms, and hurried down to the bronze mirror in the southwest corner of the bedroom. Staring at the face in the bronze mirror, she turned around several times to check again. It was unmistakable. The face in the mirror belonged to her—thirteen years old, innocent, and unaware of the storm her future held.
Memories came flooding back like nightmares. She remembered the last image in front of her closed eyes. Xiao Zimu was pierced by ten thousand arrows and walked slowly and with difficulty towards her. But in the end, he couldn't stand and fell. There was a thunderclap in the sky, and torrential rain poured down. She shouted heartbreakingly: "Zimu!!”
Xiao Yanjun sneered and walked in front of her, looking down at her condescendingly. “It's my fault. I didn't expect him to give up the Xiao dynasty for a woman. Tsk, it's really in vain that I have specially prepared for him with the layers of ambushes, but he came alone, with his own life, the jade seal and the edict, to beg me, begging me to let you go. It's ridiculous, it's in vain for the Xiao bloodline.”
He leaned over, pinched her chin, and laughed at the intense hatred in her eyes. “Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is my style.” The emperor's sword came out of its sheath, pierced into her heart, and her body. He moved his face to her ear and said softly, “From the beginning, I have never loved you.”
Xia Chu didn't feel pain; she only had strong remorse and hatred, mixed with unwillingness and anger. She opened her mouth and spat the blood on his face, “The sky has eyes, in my next life, I will exist solely to disgrace you, and become your nightmare, like a shadow, like a maggot attached to a bone, until death.”
Then she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, they were already in the mirror. Heavenly reincarnation, she was reborn. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, there was still a strangulation mark on her neck.
(flashback)
In her previous life, when she was thirteen years old, her master let her go down the mountain to celebrate her father's birthday. As soon as she arrived at the Xia Hou Mansion, she bumped into Xiao Yanjun, the fourth prince, who came to congratulate her father. She looked up and was greeted by an angular, handsome face. Thin lips, a straight nose, sword-like eyebrows flew diagonally into a few strands of black hair under the corner of the sideburns, and a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew were leaning over to look at her at this time. At the age of sixteen, he was already tall and slender, wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a dragon-shaped jade that was not very valuable but extremely delicate. At just one glance, 13-year-old Xia Chu felt a small bud sprout through the soil on the tip of her heart.
Oh, isn't it? In the future, this person not only made the tip of her heart sprout but also inserted a bloody sword into her heart with his own hands. But in her previous life, she even forgot that she was wearing a man's dress at that time and hugged him happily. She was immediately ripped off by her father, Marquis Xia. He dragged her behind him and saluted Xiao Yanjun. “The son of this official is rude and disturbed the fourth highness.”
“Is this the only son of the Hou Ye - Xia Chu?” Xiao Yanjun asked.
“Exactly. Xia Chu was weak since childhood, so he was sent to Zilan Mountain for recuperation. He doesn't understand the rules and made the Highness laugh”
“It doesn't matter. The little marquis is warm and lovely, and I am very happy.” After Xiao Yanjun finished speaking, he smiled towards Xia Chu, and his already beautiful face became vivid and warm in an instant. Like the rising sun, it made the 13-year-old Xia Chu feel that the fourth prince was warm and beautiful.
She walked in front of him, pulled his sleeve, and said with a flushed face: “I also feel happy seeing you.”
Marquis Xia hurriedly pulled her to sit down beside him, and kept distributing vegetables, wishing that she wouldn’t make a sound.
After the banquet, Marquis Xia led her into the study and retreated. Xia Chu immediately stepped forward and grabbed her father’s arm and said coquettishly, “Father, I want to marry Xiao Yanjun.”
Marquis Xia’s smile dissipated when he heard this. He was scorched by the words coming from his daughter, and his face collapsed.
“No.”
“Why not? Although he is a prince, Dad, you are also the first marquis of Xiao Kingdom, and I am the only daughter of the Hou Mansion. Why is it not possible?”
“Xia Chu! Your identity is a man.”
“Then I'll just be a daughter again.”
“Nonsense!”
“My mother died to save His Majesty, the emperor won't blame you for this little thing. He still got a daughter-in-law for free"
“You! Rebel, do you know why your mother and I have disguised you as a boy since childhood?”
“I don't know, I don't want to know, I just know that I want to marry Xiao Yanjun now.”
Marquis Xia’s face turned pale when he heard the sentence "I don't want to", and he trembled with anger at her sentence "I want to marry".
Xia Chu’s father yelled, “Someone, lock this rebel into the house, and no one should let him out without my permission.”
“Father, father, if you don't allow it, I'll die to show you.” Xia Chu cried as she struggled.
Marquis Xia waved his hand and motioned to pull her down, and said no more.
She was then locked in her room, but within a month, she unleashed the full force of weeping, throwing tantrums, and threatening to end her life. Marquis Xia was worn down to the point of helplessness, his face constantly streaked with tears of frustration. In the end, he gave in—allowed her to resume wearing women’s clothing and personally took her to the palace to request a marriage decree from the emperor.
After that, it was unexpectedly smooth, and Xiao Yanjun wanted to marry her after learning that she was originally a girl. The emperor did not blame the Hou Mansion and appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince, and gave him the emperor’s sword. He then named Xia Chu, daughter of the Marquis Xia’s household, as the Crown Princess, with the wedding to follow after the formal engagement.
