“I want… to be a pair for a lifetime, bodies and minds are one, devoted to each other…”
Long YuTian was frozen on the spot… There must be a problem… Qian DuoDuo must have broken her brain!
In their Sheng Chen country, those with a bit of wealth and influence, even if that person was only a very small landowner, would have three wives and four concubines. She wanted to only be a pair… Unless she was to marry a destitute guy from a starving family or a very low servant, everyone else would be more or less the same.
Hidden behind the door, quietly hiding his presence, was the equally stunned Long MuChen.
He was a few years older than these several HuangZi who all had several ShiQie and TongFang[1] in their fu. However, he, their HuangShu, had no women by his side at all.
HuangShang and TaiHou had picked daughters from Sheng Chen country in their attempt to choose a WangFei for him a few times. Even GongZhu from different countries were willing to marry him as a ShiQie.
However, he actually used several years of battling to pacify the borders as a reason to ignore a lot of court ministers who wanted to marry their daughter into Chen wangfu. After meeting countless rebuffs, everyone thought inwardly, could their Chen Wang perhaps be a cut-sleeve[2]?
But only Long MuChen himself understood what he was thinking. His wife must be someone he loved, someone he held in his heart, someone he’d cherish throughout his life.
Otherwise, no matter how captivating or how ethereally beautiful she was, he’d still not pay her a glance.
Unexpectedly, after looking for so many years, for the first time ever, he was finally interested in a woman and had a good impression of her. Besides, she was exactly like him, their hearts would perceive each other’s love.
But just because of TaiHou’s decree, she happened to become his nephew’s WangFei.
