Chapter 89 Past and Present Lives, Destined Marriage
Instantly, Liu Shujun's memories that had been sealed away for three years came to her mind.
In the storyteller's mouth, the green-faced, fang-toothed, and protruding-eared Jin Wang Chen Huaian, could it be him?
The young princess's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the rainy night by the Qinhuai River in the capital three years ago.
That was the first time Liu Shujun followed her father Liu Xinwu, who came to the capital to meet the emperor, to set foot in Jinling City. The prosperous and bustling capital and the famous Qinhuai River were always stirring the heartstrings of the young girl.
Finally, on the rainy night when Wuning Wang Liu Xinwu attended the imperial banquet in the palace, Liu Shujun, who was full of curiosity about everything in the prosperous capital, secretly slipped out of the inn with her personal maid.
Braving the drizzling spring rain in March, she indulged herself in the bustling capital.
Unconsciously, she actually went to the famous Qinhuai River.
The Qinhuai River was originally a romantic place for princes, nobles, playboys, and literati to seek pleasure.
The beautiful and graceful Princess Liu Shujun and her maidservant strayed into the Qinhuai River late at night, just like a sheep into a pack of wolves. Naturally, they were targeted by the drunk and daring playboys.
Next, it was a vulgar but true scene of a hero saving a beauty.
Chen Huaian, who also accompanied his father to Beijing to meet the emperor and accepted the title of Prince of Jin by the previous emperor Zhao Mang, coincidentally ran into Liu Shujun who was harassed by several playboys and drunkards.
Then, the Prince of Jin, at that time, just made a slight move and beat up several playboys in Beijing and saved the young Princess Liu Shujun of the palace.
Afterwards, he left without leaving any credit or fame.
From then on, that handsome face with clear outlines, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes left a deep mark on Liu Shujun's heart when she was a girl.
Liu Shujun thought that she would never meet that handsome boy who was chivalrous and righteous again in her life.
Who would have thought that fate is sometimes so wonderful.
The two not only met, but also saw each other.
What is even more incredible is that the two also made a marriage contract.
At this moment, Liu Shujun began to believe that there is really a fate destined by God in this world.
"Shujun-Shujun!"
"Ah?"
The shout of his father Liu Xinwu finally pulled the thoughts of the young girl back to reality from the throbbing and unforgettable memories of the past.
Liu Shujun blushed and asked a little embarrassedly: "Dad, you, you called me?"
Liu Xinwu said angrily: "If Dad doesn't call you again, I'm afraid your soul will be seduced by Chen Huaian!"
"Oh!"
Liu Shujun said coquettishly: "Dad, no way, I won't pay attention to you!"
As she said that, Liu Shujun turned around and left, pretending to be angry and ignoring her father Liu Xinwu.
However, the direction she left was in the direction where Jin Wang Chen Huaian led the army out of the city.
The corner of her eye kept chasing the golden figure riding on the horse until the tall golden figure completely disappeared from her sight.
"Hey, Shujun, you've gone to the wrong place. The inn is over here!"
Liu Xinwu shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: "Before I came here, I looked down on Chen Huaian, saying that he was an ugly freak with a green face, fangs and big ears!"
"Now it's good. After seeing the real person, even my father doesn't want him anymore."
"It is said that a married girl is like water spilled out. My girl hasn't even married yet, and she-"
"Hmph, what do you care!"
Before Liu Xinwu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Shujun who turned back.
Even, he didn't forget to deliberately bump Liu Xinwu with his thin arm, and then walked towards the inn angrily.
For this eccentric daughter, Liu Xinwu had no way to deal with it. Who made him the number one "daughter slave" of the Great Xin Dynasty?
He had to chase after her and asked: "Shujun, this person has also seen it, and the marriage contract..."
"It's all up to Daddy!"
......
At the same time
Chen Huaian, who was on the march, also looked worried.
Just now, the girl who had been hiding among the people seeing him off and peeping at him could not help but pull Chen Huaian's thoughts back to before he traveled through time.
Looking at that familiar face, he always had the illusion that he was still the college student Chen Huaian who had just graduated from the history department and was assigned to the archaeological team of the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics.
Instead of the current Chen Huaian who was decisive in killing and determined to conquer the Central Plains and unify the world.
Three years ago, on that rainy night by the Qinhuai River in Beijing.
When Chen Huaian saw Liu Shujun for the first time, he was shocked by that unforgettable face.
It was not because she was 28 years old and had a beautiful face like a lotus emerging from the water.
But because that face and the face that he had never forgotten in his memory and had become his only thought of the other world, were like carved out of the same mold.
So, Chen Huaian did not hesitate to help at the beginning.
As for why he left without leaving any credit or fame afterwards?
It was because Chen Huaian was sober. He knew that he was no longer the college student Chen Huaian who graduated from the history department. The girl who looked like his inner thoughts was not him in another world.
Rather than letting himself fall into endless thoughts and memories, it is better to completely cut off the thoughts.
But today, when Chen Huaian caught a glimpse of the girl he saved by the Qinhuai River that year, he was hiding in the crowd and peeping at him.
He suddenly realized that some thoughts could not be cut off no matter what.
Furthermore, as Chen Huaian, who had lived in Longcheng, the fief of King Jin for 24 years, he was very sure that the girl hiding in the crowd and spying on him was definitely not a native of Longcheng.
Could it be that she had been looking for him for the past three years?
But why did she do this?
For a moment, Chen Huaian's thoughts were confused and he seemed a little confused.
"Report--"
"Your Highness King Jin, Master Dongfang Xiao from the palace has an urgent report!"
At this time, the messenger hurriedly rode over, and finally reined in the warhorse when he came to Chen Huaian. After saluting, he continued, "Your Highness, Master Dongfang Xiao is here to report."
Chen Huaian waved his hand and said, "Read!"
"King Wuning Liu Xinwu and Princess Liu Shujun arrived at King Jin's palace. Master Dongfang Xiao has told King Wuning according to His Highness' instructions before the expedition that the army has returned from the westward expedition and His Highness and Princess will be married."
Well!
Chen Huaian nodded and said, "I know!"
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Chen Huaian stopped the messenger who was about to leave and asked, "What did you say just now? Prince Wuning and Princess Liu Shujun arrived at the palace today?"
The messenger said, "Your Highness, yes!"
Haha!
Chen Huaian couldn't help laughing and said to himself, "It can't be such a coincidence, could it be that Princess Liu Shujun of the Wuning Palace is——"
