I have traveled through time, who am I afraid of?

Chapter 619: The Engagement Has Changed

Xiao Jingyu made up his mind and thought about what to do next, and his heart gradually calmed down.

When he looked up at Leng Rongyue again, Xiao Jingyu's tone became extremely firm.

"Yue'er, since Yue'er has rejected the imperial decree granting the marriage.

Then... please listen to me again, Yue'er -

I know exactly what I feel.

From the first time I saw the moon until this moment, my affection for her has grown stronger day by day.

To Yue'er...I am sure of it.

Even without the imperial decree granting marriage, the future Princess Yu...

No...my, Xiao Jingyu's future wife can only be Leng Rongyue.

Not to mention this life, even if there is an afterlife...

I, Xiao Jingyu, will never marry anyone else.

Yue'er, this is Qingguo Temple, with Buddha and Bodhisattva as witnesses!

I am the son of the emperor, and I will also keep my word and never go back on my word.

Unless, of course, there is one situation—

Yue'er hates me, she really hates me...

And it has no intention on me.

If this is the case……

Then I would rather live alone until the end of my life than disturb Yue'er again.

Yue'er...does she hate me?

But you have no feelings for me?"

Do you hate Xiao Jingyu?

Leng Rongyue’s answer was… I don’t hate it;

Do you have no feelings for Xiao Jingyu?

of course not.

Even if I came from another modern world, unlike the people here, I can be so loyal as to let the emperor's decree decide my future and fate;

Or... she simply didn't take the Emperor's decree granting marriage seriously.

However, since the time when he didn't even know Xiao Jingyu, he had already been silently working hard for him;

Since I met him twice, I have seen the affection and sincerity he showed.

She could clearly feel the love and warmth he gave her.

I am not a piece of wood, nor am I a thousand-year-old ice!

Even if I were a thousand-year-old piece of ice, I would have been melted by the warmth and enthusiasm he silently gave me.

Leng Rongyue knew clearly that deep down, she had already accepted the fact that Xiao Jingyu was her fiancé in this life.

This acceptance... has nothing to do with the imperial decree of marriage.

However, I am still young in this life;

Furthermore, if in the future, I really want to be with Xiao Jingyu for the rest of my life...

Well, now I should try to understand him better;

Or, you can try to develop feelings with him.

Or... just let it be.

I can try to put aside my rejection of the imperial decree granting marriage;

Put aside the aversion to marrying into the royal family;

You can follow your heart.

As long as Xiao Jingyu is worthy of my love and worth spending my life with, nothing else matters.

However, it is easy to say, this is a different world after all.

When you come to this different world, you will inevitably have to follow some of the rules of this different world.

However, while having to abide by the rules here, try not to go against your own will as much as possible.

For example, it is impossible for me to go against my own will, obey the emperor's decree and marry someone I don't love!

However, to her surprise, the marriage partner listed in the imperial decree happened to be the one who made her heart beat!

When the emperor granted the marriage, he and Xiao Jingyu were still strangers to each other;

Now, the two have fallen in love, but something unexpected has happened.

Leng Rongyue thought that since she had accepted Leng Rongyue's life experience and destiny in this life, she must also accept everything related to Leng Rongyue.

For example, the Emperor;

For example, Xiao Jingyu;

Another example is the Duke Anguo’s Mansion.

When the emperor wrote the imperial decree granting the marriage, it was out of good intentions.

I can't let the emperor, who is kind to me, be embarrassed because of my own misfortune.

I can’t let the emperor go against the ministers in the court because of me.

Leng Rongyue could guess that because of the destruction of Qinxing Marquis Mansion this time;

Because I, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing who was married to Prince Yu by the Emperor, became the daughter of a criminal;

There must be many court officials who have daughters of marriageable age who are secretly clasping their hands in joy!

They must be starting to target Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu again.

Since she wanted to target Xiao Jingyu, she had to first get rid of the daughter of a guilty minister who was engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Yu.

I think... they will never miss this good opportunity.

Even though he brought down his father in order to avenge his mother's tragic death.

Leng Rongyue believed that those court officials who had ulterior motives would definitely use the fact that she had killed her biological father as an excuse to attack her.

Taking advantage of the fall of the Qinxing Marquisate;

Taking advantage of the fact that she had lost her status as the legitimate daughter of Marquis Qinxing's mansion;

Completely eliminate the possibility of becoming Prince Yu's wife.

If the emperor insists on maintaining his engagement with Xiao Jingyu, then he will have to withstand the resistance of the court officials and issue a new imperial decree to grant the marriage.

In other words, the emperor wanted to grant a marriage to his son Xiao Jingyu and an ordinary girl who no longer had the status of a legitimate daughter of a marquisate...

No... not only did she lose her identity as the legitimate daughter of the marquis's mansion, she also had the identity of the daughter of a criminal!

The emperor wants to grant Xiao Jingyu and himself another marriage...

Perhaps this will be met with even stronger resistance from court officials?

As the emperor, how would Emperor Hongde make the decision?
