After Meng Ying lured Mei Shaohong to death, Mei Boyang returned to the northern border, saying that he would never have any contact with Meng Ying again.

He often doubted whether what he did was right, putting the lives of the Mei family in Meng Ying's hands, which eventually led to the death of Mei Shaohong.

Mei Boyang disliked Mei Shaohong since he was a child. He felt that his younger brother was heartless and very different from his older sister Mei Yingxue.

Yingxue is the family's favorite little sister. She follows her brothers around all day long, asking them to learn martial arts from one brother and ride horses with that brother. She must show up at all her brothers' activities.

When she was a child, ten-year-old Mei Yingxue became interested in swordsmanship. Mei Gong said that as a little girl, she did not need to learn such things, but she was unwilling to do so. She shaved her head to show her determination, cutting her hair into a shape that looked like it had been chewed by a dog, and also threw away all the girl's hair accessories.

She got up before dawn every day and did horse stance at the door of Mei Boyang's room. When Mei Boyang woke up, she was sweating profusely.

After about ten days of this, Mei Boyang became serious and taught her sword skills carefully. Later, he discovered that Mei Yingxue was extremely talented and hardworking.

Mei Boyang often asked her if it was hard to learn swordsmanship, but Mei Yingxue said it was difficult and painful, but never said it was bitter, and she enjoyed it.

She is very close to her family, even Mei Shaohong.

One year, Mei Shaohong pushed his fourth sister off the swing, and her mother was so angry that she wanted to force Mei Shaohong to death.

Mei Gong was so angry that he vomited blood, but he loved his children so much that he had only one child who died, so how could he possibly hurt another child? He could only punish Mei Shaohong severely.

Mei Shaohong seemed to have no idea what terrible crime he had committed. He just felt that it was his fourth sister who took away his swing, so what could he have done wrong.

Mei Boyang acted like an elder brother and wanted to teach him a lesson and make him apologize to his fourth sister's mother. However, Mei Boyang talked for a whole day and his mouth was dry, but he still didn't think he was wrong.

But Mei Yingxue only said one sentence, and Mei Shaohong admitted his mistake. She said, "Fourth sister stole your swing, she was wrong too, but fourth sister is dead, she can't apologize to you, when you die in the future, go to the underworld to find fourth sister and apologize to you, okay?"

Mei Boyang found it unbelievable at the time. His fourth sister lost her life just for fighting over a swing, but they were still arguing about right and wrong. What a heartless person he was.

But Mei Yingxue's consolation was the most effective and calmed the situation down the fastest.

I don’t know how many years Mei Yingxue coaxed Mei Shaohong like this. That year, Mei Yingxue got married.

At that time, Emperor Jingde was an unpopular prince, gentle as jade and polite.

Mei Yingxue was surrounded by older men who carried swords and rode horses. She had never seen such a gentle and refined man. She hadn't dressed up for a long time, and now she dressed up for the first time.

At that time, Emperor Jingde was a taciturn person who liked to sit alone by Yingyue Lake and read books.

It's like someone who has no interest in anything and is very cold.

That day, the sun was bright and the wind was clear by the Yingxue Lake. The snow had not melted yet and the sunlight was slightly dazzling.

Mei Yingxue dragged her brothers, sisters-in-law and brothers to see the prince who kept people at a distance. From a distance, she said seriously, "I like him!"

Mei Boyang: "??? What's your taste?"

Mei Shaohong: "She's not a good person at first glance! You can't marry her!"

Sisters-in-law: "What nonsense! You are quite handsome! But little sister, no one seems to like you!"

"I haven't even talked to him yet. When he talks to me, how could he look down on me?" Mei Yingxue was full of confidence.

Then the sisters-in-law gave her advice, and finally took an umbrella. Mei Yingxue fell from the sky from the tree that Emperor Jingde was leaning against, and the shadow of the umbrella just covered Emperor Jingde.

Emperor Jingde looked up in confusion and squinted his eyes slightly, "Miss Mei, it's not snowing today, so you don't need to hold an umbrella."

"The light is so blinding, how can you see the words?" Mei Yingxue smiled brightly and sat down next to him.

She was sitting very close to him, holding an umbrella for Emperor Jingde and leaning forward to block the light from him.

Emperor Jingde shrank back unconsciously, "No need, young lady, I'm not reading."

"Then what are you doing?" Mei Yingxue was extremely curious, stretching her neck, as if she had to get to the bottom of it. "You've been sitting here for the whole morning! You've flipped through dozens of pages of the book!"

Emperor Jingde didn't expect her to get so close to him. The unrestrained nature of the northern woman really caught him off guard. He dodged repeatedly, "I was thinking about the things in the book. The transition from prosperity to chaos in the book is only a dozen words. How can such a transition be completed? What should be done to achieve such a transition..."

Mei Yingxue became interested and pestered Emperor Jingde to talk to her, and he talked for the entire morning.

Emperor Jingde was already hungry at that time, and asked Mei Yingxue many times if she wanted to go back to eat, but Mei Yingxue kept shaking her head, "I'm not hungry, tell me more!"

Emperor Jingde couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and tell her. At that time, he kept thinking, did she understand?

In fact, looking at her eyes, Emperor Jingde knew that she must not understand, but she kept nodding, looking as if she understood.

When she returned home that night, Mei Yingxue began to read by lamplight, and asked Mei Gong to quietly invite a teacher for her, because she wanted to study!

In fact, she didn't understand most of the time during the day, how could she be looked down upon! She had to learn everything in one night and surprise everyone the next day!

But how could I finish learning such a vast ocean of books in one night? So I kept on doing this for several nights in a state of impatience.

During the day, despite the bruises under her eyes, she went to find Emperor Jingde and wanted to have a chat with him, but she couldn't even fart.

Emperor Jingde saw through everything, but never exposed it.

Until one day, Mei Yingxue was listening like this, she felt drowsy and fell asleep leaning on Emperor Jingde's shoulder.

Emperor Jingde stopped talking. He didn't dare to move. He just leaned his shoulder and let her lean on him until dark.

When it got dark, Mei Yingxue was still sleeping soundly, so Emperor Jingde had no choice but to carry her back to her boudoir.

It was so conspicuous on the way back that everyone in the family knew about it. Mei Gong seemed very embarrassed about this matter.

The royal family is a complicated place. Even among the princes with Zhuo family blood, Emperor Jingde at that time was not the most advantageous one.

Emperor Jingde didn't stay long and was about to leave.

When Mei Yingxue heard that Emperor Jingde had already left, she hurriedly asked Mei Gong, "Dad! Didn't he say he wanted to marry me?"

Mei Gong shook his head, looking embarrassed, "No."

Mei Yingxue was extremely frustrated. She thought there was nothing in the world that she couldn't handle, and she became depressed for a moment, "Why doesn't he like me? Daddy, please help me!"

Mei Gong consoled her, "Yingxue, you don't know how chaotic the royal family is! You will suffer if you marry into it!"

"I'm not afraid of suffering!"

"Yingxue! He has already married the imperial concubine. If you marry him, you can only be a concubine! How can I push you into the fire pit!"

Mei Gong knew that at that time, Emperor Jingde had married Zhuo Yunjing, the daughter of Zhuo Chenghui, Prince of Zhennan.

Zhuo Chenghui is a heroic man, but he is still unable to break free from the shackles of the Zhuo family. Mei Yingxue is still young and has never seen the cruel struggles of the royal family. He is really afraid that his daughter will suffer.

Mei Gong rejected Mei Yingxue, and Mei Yingxue experienced the pain of a broken heart for the first time at the age of seventeen.

Emperor Jingde had been gone for two days when a strong wind blew in the north. Mei Yingxue knew the way to leave the north, and since the wind blew on that day, he would definitely encounter a snowstorm.

On impulse, she rode away on horseback alone. She wanted to intercept the prince, fearing that he would get lost in the snow and wind and be unable to get out of the snowy field.

After galloping all the way, they finally caught up with Emperor Jingde's large group of troops at the entrance of the snowfield.

Mei Yingxue stood on the horse, her fluffy roe deer head hat and her red cheeks from the cold, making the girl look lively and vivid.

Emperor Jingde had a glimmer of hope in his heart along the way, hoping that she could keep him.

But I didn't expect that she would actually appear here. My heart was pounding and it took me a long time to calm down.

But he just had a desire and never thought of really dragging her into the water. What he was carrying was not something a little girl like this could bear.

Emperor Jingde felt uncomfortable for a moment. He got off the carriage and said, "Miss Mei, you don't have to see me off."

"I'm not here to see you off!" Mei Yingxue smiled brightly, not on purpose, but just naturally when she saw him.

"I'm here to ask you, will you marry me?" Mei Yingxue asked him loudly in front of so many people.

Emperor Jingde had never seen such a passionate and ostentatious courtship, and his whole body suddenly stiffened and he was at a loss.

He hesitated for a while, and finally invited Mei Yingxue to get on the carriage, saying helplessly, "Miss Mei, you can't say this carelessly. You are still young and don't understand..."

"So do you like me?" Mei Yingxue was anxious. She desperately wanted an answer.

Emperor Jingde was stunned by this question for a moment, and Mei Yingxue just kept her eyes open, waiting for his answer.

After a long while, Emperor Jingde smiled, and his smile was helpless, "Miss Mei, I already have a concubine."

"I know! Isn't it normal for a prince like you to have several concubines? I didn't ask you that. I just asked if you like me!"

Emperor Jingde: “…”

The girl's love is sincere and passionate. Emperor Jingde understands it better than Mei Yingxue, but he is just a young man who has not yet reached the age of twenty.

Nothing can compare to the heartbeat at that moment.

Mei Yingxue was getting anxious waiting and couldn't help asking, "If you don't like it, just tell me. I won't pester you!"

"But you don't say anything, how can I know whether you like me or not! It's so frustrating!"

Emperor Jingde knew that he had no say in his marriage. Who he decided to marry was up to the Zhuo family.

So he didn't dare to answer for a long time.

Before people have their own thoughts, rules, traditions, shackles and constraints have never been painful things.

What I’m afraid of is that there will be a moment when I grow a heart of my own, a terrifying power that longs to tear apart the shackles.

From this moment on, he began to feel pain and started to struggle, but he didn't expect that it would take him his whole life to break free.

He sighed, looked up and found Mei Yingxue still staring at him.

A breathtaking passion.

Emperor Jingde was unable to stay awake and quickly became intoxicated by it. He gently kissed her on the lips.

With youthfulness, anxiety, and determination.

Mei Yingxue blushed instantly. Expression was expression, kiss was kiss. She didn't expect things to progress so quickly, and she threw herself into his arms in a hurry.

The two hugged each other tightly, their faces were incredibly hot, and no one dared to speak. They just felt each other's heartbeats.

In this way, Emperor Jingde was abducted back to Shangbei City and stayed there for a while.

Emperor Jingde boldly asked Lord Mei to marry Mei Yingxue. Although he did not have the permission of his father and mother, he thought he could overcome everything.

Mei Gong felt that this was really inappropriate, so he had a long talk with Emperor Jingde all night long, discussing his views on the world and his expectations for the northern border.

Emperor Jingde was not a person who wanted to be a puppet. He had many ambitions, which he never told anyone. He did not dare to tell his mother, his father, or his royal brothers, because all his ambitions were a denial of the Zhuo family's chaotic politics.

But that night, he actually opened his heart to Mei Gong, which was rare.

Mei Gong also saw a glimmer of hope in him, so he promised to lend him a helping hand.
