Chapter 753: Prince on a White Horse

The original host’s name was Wei Lingxian. She was the first wife of a first rank General Who Inspires Might, An You. She had given birth to one son and one daughter, was respectful towards her mother-in-law, and kind to the servants. The married couple cared for each other and there was not a single mistress in the back courtyard. In this ancient era where the norm was to have three or four wives, this was a very rare blessing.

When a citizen uprising occurred in Cloud Province, An You was sent to quell the uprising. Cloud City was the territory of the current emperor’s brother who was born of a different mother. When the emperor heard this news, he had urged An You to go stop the rebellion.

When An You finally made it to Cloud Province, he found that Prince Yan’s entire family had already died in the uprising. On his way back, he encountered Prince Yan’s orphaned children. One was Prince Yan’s daughter, Princess Mingzhu, and the other was his youngest son.

For the sake of protecting his only bloodline, Prince Yan had commanded his beloved daughter, Princess Mingzhu, to protect the young prince and escape from the estate that was being attacked by the citizens.

In a single night, Princess Mingzhu had lost her family. If it weren’t for fulfilling her imperial father’s wish, she would’ve gone after her family.

She had traveled with her maid in disguise, but they encountered bandits. Just as all hope seemed lost, they were saved by An You.

An You had appeared in front of Princess Mingzhu like a deity from the Heavens. He brought Princess Mingzhu, who had lost everything, a sense of safety and warmth. In her time of despair, he brought her hope and granted her new life like a deity, allowing her to once again feel warmth.

An You was thinking that since he had failed to save Prince Yan’s family, he had a duty to look after Prince Yan’s orphaned children, so he protected them and saw them back to the capital.

An You saw that Princess Mingzhu was in great pain from losing her family, so he took special care to console her. Princess Mingzhu was about the same age as his daughter, only about sixteen years old, yet she had to face something like this, so he forced himself to be patient and comfort her.

An You’s care and protection made Princess Mingzhu’s feelings soon grow from respect and admiration to love. She had feelings for An You, but due to her status, she had no choice but to suppress her feelings.

When they got back to the capital, An You brought Princess Mingzhu and the little prince to his general’s residence to continue looking after them since he felt responsible for them.

The general’s residence was very welcoming to them. An You even built a separate courtyard just for Princess Mingzhu for her to live in, saying that he would definitely make sure she felt familial warmth.

Princess Mingzhu soon became good friends with An Lingyun who was the same age as her. Everyone in the general’s residence really liked this fragile yet strong girl who had shouldered the burden of protecting the future of Prince Yan’s family.

Wei Lingxian’s son, An Yu, was seventeen years old and in the season of spring youth, so he naturally fell for the gentle Princess Mingzhu. With his younger sister’s encouragement, he eventually got up the courage to confess to Princess Mingzhu, but the one Princess Mingzhu loved was An Yu’s father, An You.

When Wei Lingxian found out what was going on between her husband and Princess Mingzhu, she was very unhappy with Princess Mingzhu and did things to hinder An You and Princess Mingzhu. She even went to the palace and convinced the empress dowager to bestow Princess Mingzhu a marriage. The empress dowager arranged a good marriage for Princess Mingzhu with the son of an aristocratic family in the capital.

However, Princess Mingzhu fell apart upon finding out about this and kneeled in front of the empress dowager to beg her to take back this marriage bestowment. She even told the empress dowager that she liked An You and would only accept An You in this lifetime.

The empress dowager was taken aback and furious. A princess of the imperial family was actually going to be a mistress, and for a man that was old enough to be her father!? It would damage the entire order of the current society, so the empress dowager naturally didn’t allow for it.

However, Princess Mingzhu said that she and An You were truly in love. It was true love. There could be no sin in true love.

Princess Mingzhu begged to be fulfilled. She knelt in front of Wei Lingxian and confessed that she loved An You, was willing to be the mistress, and stay by An You’s side like a powerless pet. She only asked that Wei Lingxian could forgive her.

Wei Lingxian was so angry that her entire body trembled. An Yu who liked Princess Mingzhu naturally didn’t agree, and the old madame didn’t dare to let a princess be a mistress, so she refused for the life of her. An Lingyun blamed her good friend for hurting her older brother and trying to snatch her father.

When An You saw that everyone disapproved of his feelings for Princess Mingzhu and that everyone was in so much pain, he took the initiative to set out on a long campaign with these feelings of sorrow.

Princess Mingzhu secretly snuck out of the capital and traveled alone to the battlefield to find An You. An You had been depressed due to these past events, and after suffering a defeat, he had decided to commit suicide. It was at this time that Princess Mingzhu appeared in front of him.

This fateful meeting after such a long painful separation made their feelings burst forth uncontrollably, and they vowed never to part again.
