Chapter 1: Chapter 1
AD 320. Jin dynasty.
Emperor Yuan of Jin, Sima Rui succeeded the throne.
Crown prince- Sima Shao
Capital- Jiankang(modern day- Nanjing)
In General Sun's mansion,
''Miss, wake up. The Lord asks for your presence! Hurry!''
"Father? Why?? ''
''Not just you. All of the family members. Please hurry and tidy up, miss. ''
I stop thinking and prepare to meet with father.
When we reach the main hall, all of our family members are gathered and waiting for father's arrival.
I'm the youngest daughter of the Military lord general, Sun Xiaohou, Sun Yinghua.
I was born in spring so my father named me Yinghua, cherry blossoms.
I have two brothers and three sisters from different mothers. Father now has two wives. My mother died after giving birth to me. I've never seen her face, only her name 'Yuneying' that I know. I'm not a favourable daughter in this family. Usually, I'm not asked to be present in such gatherings. As I'm wondering for the reason of my presence, father has arrived.
''Yinghua, come front. I have something to tell you'', he said when he sat down.
I bowed to my father and waited for his speaking.
''As you are turning 16 this year, I've arranged for you to be married and settle. The Emperor asked for a daughter from me to be married to the fourth prince. I want you to obey my arrangement and prepare for the marriage. Do you have anything to say? ''
I was surprised for a moment. When I looked up, I saw my sisters smirking at me with devilish intentions.
The first wife spoke, "Don't you hear the lord? You can't refuse to our arrangement. We make this for your own good." Her eyes are looking at me with disgust. I can sense their hatred towards me. I had been treated this way since I was child. There's no one who would stand for me.
"I will follow your arrangement and prepare for the wedding, father," I replied.
"Well then, the wedding will be in the spring, next three months. You are dismissed".
I bowed and returned back to my courtyard.
After I'm back to my room, I'm still loss in thoughts untill Qinqin, my maid calls me.
"Miss, What happened? What did the lord say to you?"
"Umm? He said I'm marrying off to a prince in the next spring. "
"Really? Isn't that great? You are going to be a princess then. And I'm gonna be an imperial maid servant. And we are staying in the palace! Isn't it great? Miss, "
"Hmm. But why me? I'm the youngest and my eldest sister is still not married yet."
"Miss, whatever it is, you're gonna be free from these evil sisters!! And I'm no longer be bullied by them. I'm so happy".
"Haha. What are you so happy about? I'm the one marrying, not you. "
"Whatever, I just don't want to see that trash sisters of you. "
"By the way, do you know anything about the fourth prince? "
"What? Is he the one you are marrying to? I know nothing but only that he's the adopted son of the Emperor. And people say that he's disfigured. Wait!! Maybe that's the reason why they.... "
Bang!!!!
Before Qinqin finished speaking, the door is opened violently.
And I saw my sisters giggling and saying,
''Youngest sister, don't be happy about your marriage so soon. Father is marrying you off to a merely prince who is just an adopted son. And you know what? He is disfigured. People also treat him like a devil. And you are just gonna be a lowly princess. Sister, don't be sad. You are just a chess piece for father. Congratulations for your wedding. You will be sent off to the palace in the next three months."
"Yes! We wish for your own happiness. Let's go, big sis. We shouldn't be wasting our time here." They laughed with satisfaction and left.
"Miss, I'm sorry. It is better if we staying and being annoyed by them instead of marrying to that disfigured prince. The emperor also dislikes him and people treats him like a devil. I'm so pissed off and he is also... ".
As I'm tired of listening to her, "Qinqin, stop babbling around me. I'm hungry. Prepare breakfast, let's eat together."
"OK! miss",she then left disappointedly.
I started thinking about the fourth prince, my future husband to be. I wonder what kind of person he is. How will he treat me in the future. I know nothing about him but the rumors. Whatever it is, I can't refuse this marriage. I gazed at the sky and lost in my thoughts. Next three months....
I wonder....
