Chapter 1126: The Princess Consort Whose Memories Were Altered (1)
[Bonus Chapters ahead✨]
“Rest on your own, Princess Consort. This prince still has important matters to attend to.”
With
a casual flick, Shangguan Jing tossed the bride’s red veil aside. His tone was
cold and indifferent as he continued, “Since you have become this prince’s
consort, I hope you understand propriety and abide by the rules of Prince
Jing’s Manor.”
“Yes,
Your Highness.”
Tang
Guo answered obediently. She merely glanced once at the man before her, who
showed not the slightest joy on his wedding night, before lowering her eyes.
Inside,
she muttered to the system, “Why do I always arrive right after getting
married?”
Uh…
well… I don't know either. But with Host leading the charge, whether you're
married or not doesn't really matter, right? the system replied weakly. Who
knew which world we'd randomly transmigrate into? Fortunately, he'd latched
onto the biggest golden thigh early on. With Host around, there was no such
thing as an unsolvable problem.
Looking
at the well-behaved noble young lady before him, Shangguan Jing felt not the
slightest interest. The thought that he could not be with the woman he truly
loved made him feel even more disgusted with this woman. Seeing her merely
sitting there with her head lowered, he grew irritated and turned to leave.
After
striding out the door, he took a deep breath.
One
day, he would reclaim the woman he loved and make her his one and only Princess
Consort.
“Everyone,
leave.”
As
soon as Shangguan Jing departed, Tang Guo dismissed all the servants. Curious
about the story of this world, she found a comfortable spot to recline and
closed her eyes to receive the memories.
This
was an ancient imperial era.
The
man who had just left was Shangguan Jing, Prince Jing of the Southern Shu
Kingdom. He was the current emperor's younger brother, born of the same father
and mother.
As
for her identity, she was Tang Guo, the eldest daughter of Minister Tang
Yanxin, a perfect example of a noble young lady. She smiled without showing her
teeth, carried herself with dignity and gentleness, and possessed a tranquil
and quiet disposition. Such a daughter from a prestigious family was the ideal
daughter-in-law in the eyes of every matriarch.
She
also had a twin younger sister named Tang Jiao.
Tang
Jiao's personality was the complete opposite of Tang Guo's. Lively and
energetic, she loved traveling and exploring. Compared to the original Tang
Guo's strict adherence to decorum, Tang Jiao possessed an additional spark of
spirit and flamboyance.
Such
a temperament was rare in this world and naturally attracted attention.
Not
only was Tang Jiao cheerful and spirited, she was also exceptionally talented.
In truth, the original Tang Guo was equally gifted, but she was modest and
obedient by nature, believing there was no need to compete with others. Even
her clothing reflected her reserved personality and could not compare to Tang
Jiao's bold and fashionable tastes.
Despite
their differences, the sisters shared an excellent relationship. Rumors from
outsiders never drove them apart. On the contrary, every time Tang Jiao went
out, she brought back all sorts of little trinkets for her sister, while Tang
Guo carefully prepared all kinds of necessities before each of Tang Jiao's
journeys.
Over
time, Tang Jiao became known throughout the imperial capital and was praised as
its foremost beauty.
Those
who admired the Second Miss of the Tang family formed a line that stretched far
beyond the city walls.
During
one of her excursions, Tang Jiao encountered Prince Jing, Shangguan Jing, and
Emperor Shangguan Yi, who had also ventured out to enjoy the mountains and
rivers. Her lively spirit and extraordinary talents captivated both men.
Tang
Jiao had no idea who they really were and simply regarded them as fellow lovers
of poetry.
She
never could have imagined that that single meeting would become the source of
both her own tragedy and her sister's.
After
returning to the imperial capital, Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Jing immediately
sent people to investigate Tang Jiao's identity.
And
both men clearly realized one thing—
The
other had also fallen for Tang Jiao.
