"… I know it's a bit abrupt, but … I don't have to …"
Intermittent voices came from the front. The palace servant leading the way slowed down a bit, probably not knowing whether to continue forward or stop.
There were some things that couldn't be heard here.
Shi Sheng didn't stop, so the person in front had no choice but to brace himself and walk forward.
The voices gradually became clearer.
"Your Highness, why are you so stubborn about this subject?"
"… We've known each other since we were young … Cang Lan gege, I thought you understood me, but … you married An Yueyao," the woman sobbed softly.
People who were drawn by red strings couldn't help but fall in love with each other. Although Cang Lan was somewhat conflicted, he couldn't resist the power of red strings.
"Don't cry, Princess … I've let you down."
"Cang Lan gege, marry me. I don't care about status. As long as you marry me, I'm willing to be your concubine."
Shi Sheng's footsteps paused as she listened to the conversation. The palace servant leading the way was forced to stop and pretend that he was deaf and couldn't hear anything.
The one confessing to Cang Lan was the youngest Ninth Princess of Chen. She was also one of the more pitiful ones.
Back then, in order to separate the Ninth Princess, the female lead schemed to marry her off to the distant Chuyang Kingdom.
Later, when the war broke out, the Ninth Princess had a miserable life there.
The Ninth Princess cried as she recounted her childhood memories. In the end, she confessed with deep feelings. Cang Lan struggled for a while, but in the end, he agreed.
Shi Sheng felt like he had entered the wrong plot.
This was developing into a harem of stud men!
"What are you doing?"
Yue Yao's voice suddenly rang out, followed by the crisp sound of a slap and the Ninth Princess's scream.
"An Yueyao!" Cang Lan reprimanded sternly.
She even dared to hit a princess now.
Yue Yao only realized she had been impulsive after hitting them. When she saw them hugging each other just now, she couldn't control herself.
"I …"
This matter was quickly reported to the Chen Emperor.
If Qing Guan was the most favored princess of South Jin, then the Ninth Princess was the most favored princess of Chen.
How could the Chen Emperor delay the matter when his precious daughter was hit? He immediately summoned the matter to the throne room.
As an outsider, Shi Sheng naturally couldn't go and watch.
However, it was said that Yue Yao had been beaten and the Astro Sovereign had also ordered the Ninth Princess to be betrothed to Cang Lan. Although An Yue Yao was not stripped of her position as the official wife, the Ninth Princess was on equal footing with Yue Yao.
The day Shi Sheng left Chang 'an was the day of Ninth Princess's marriage.
…
The war between the Three Kingdoms was soon ignited. The Shi Sheng led his troops into battle.
She had seen Cang Lan once on the battlefield, but before she had the chance to fight him, she never saw him again on the battlefield.
It was only when she led the army into Chang 'an that she found out that Cang Lan was dead.
The cause of death was the plague.
Cang Lan had failed his tribulation.
Shi Sheng led the South Jin Kingdom and took three years to conquer the world.
On the day the Emperor of the South Jin Kingdom ascended the throne, an auspicious sign descended from the heavens and golden light shone on the South Jin Kingdom Palace.
The next day, Princess Qing Guan passed away and her palace maid Bi Xi was buried with her.
The deepest impression Princess Qing Guan had left in most people's hearts was …
His words were unpleasant, his attitude was arrogant, his character was arrogant, his temper was irritable, and he was hard to get along with.
But they couldn't deny that she did have the ability to do so.
Background, appearance, talent, martial arts, and strategy — she didn't lack any of these.
Many people sighed and sighed at the early death of such a princess.
…
Shi Sheng returned to the Heavenly Realm.
Qing Guan was the second generation of a God. Her parents were both Ancient Gods, but they had already fallen. She lived alone in Verdant Palace.
On the day she returned to the Heavenly Realm, people came to congratulate her.
She was the fourth High God of the Heavenly Realm. This was a joyous occasion, so of course they would come to suck up to her first.
The Jade Emperor's decree soon arrived. First, he congratulated her on her ascension to High God. Then, he told her that a celebration ceremony would be held in three days.
This was all part of the Heavenly Realm's protocol. Even if Shi Sheng didn't want to, he couldn't refuse.
After that, Shi Sheng didn't bother to deal with those who came to visit and directly closed Verdant Palace.
Those people were rejected and could only leave in embarrassment.
She was now a High God. They couldn't afford to offend her!
Three days later, Shi Sheng arrived at the venue where the ceremony was to be held.
Qing Guan rarely left Verdant Palace. She spent most of her time in seclusion, so most people in the Heavenly Realm had only heard of her name. The number of people who had seen her could be counted on one hand.
Qing Guan didn't wear the white clothes that High Gods wore to show off their celestial aura. Instead, she wore a dark green dress.
As soon as she walked in, she was like a drop of ink on a piece of white paper, very conspicuous.
Before she even got close, she could already hear many people whispering.
"That's High God Qing Guan? She's so beautiful. They used to say that High God Qing Guan didn't step out of Verdant Palace because she was ugly. I really believed them. "
"What High God? She's now a High God. She's on the same level as the Jade Emperor." Someone next to him immediately corrected him. "High God Qing Guan's mother was once the number one beauty in the Heavenly Realm. Her father was a dragon among men. He was extraordinarily handsome. How could High God Qing Guan be ugly?"
"That's what people say … High God Qing Guan doesn't leave Verdant Palace. Who knows what she looks like?"
"I heard that High God Qing Guan is only thirty thousand years old. She's the youngest High God, right? If she's staying in Verdant Palace, she must be cultivating. She's not like you people who spend all your time outside. It's already a blessing from the heavens that you managed to become a High Immortal. "
"You make it sound like you've been cultivating seriously."
"High God Qing Guan doesn't have a partner yet, right? If someone can become her partner … "
That person only said half of what he wanted to say, leaving the rest to their imagination.
However, no one answered him. Instead, they all looked at him strangely.
Some people even winked at him.
"What are you doing? What's there to be embarrassed about? Although High God Qing Guan is a bit powerful, she's still so pretty. It'll be a lot of face if word gets out … "
The person next to him pinched him, and he screamed in pain.
"If you want to catch my eye, your looks won't do."
He heard a clear female voice behind him. The tone of the voice was very calm.
That person turned around and saw that High God Qing Guan, who had been far away a moment ago, was now standing a few steps away from him. She was looking at him calmly.
A small section of her dark green dress was hidden in the clouds on the ground, faintly discernible.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the dress was embroidered with strange patterns. When she moved, the patterns seemed to come to life and a golden light flowed through them.
"High God Qing Guan …" he cried out in surprise. Then, he lowered his head and said in fear, "This little immortal has offended the High God. Please forgive me."
"Everyone loves beauty. How can you say that I offended you?" Shi Sheng began to bite his words and pretended to be pretentious. "However, with your looks, you really don't deserve me. Don't even think about it."
That person blushed with shame. No one told him that the High God was so narcissistic.
The corners of the others' mouths twitched. This High God's style was actually like this.
That person bowed even lower and said sincerely, "You're right, High God."
Shi Sheng stopped looking at him and looked ahead.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were sitting at the top, dressed in their golden dragon robes.
Shi Sheng immediately saw Cang Lan sitting to the Jade Emperor's right. After changing into a spotless white robe, Cang Lan immediately looked cold and elegant, making him look like an ascetic Prince Charming.
Shi Sheng's lips twitched into a smile.
