In the year 6 of Emperor Taian's reign, Uwenbu led an army of one hundred thousand to attack Jing. King Helunsheng of Dingbei was ordered to march out and fight.

After six months of fierce fighting, the enemy was defeated and King Dingbei returned triumphantly to the city. However, on the way, the Emperor passed away.

"My lord, when the late emperor passed away, he entrusted the regency to his uncle. Now that a new emperor has ascended the throne, his uncle is governing as regent. You lead your army back to the city and station your troops outside the walls, displaying your might. This will surely achieve your heart's desire." Luo Hu forced himself to say this with restraint.

The young master is smitten with Lady Fu Liu, but the former emperor bestowed upon him Gu Jia Lang as his wife.

That Gu Jia Lang, despite being called the number one expert, is actually a good-for-nothing. How could someone so mediocre be worthy of his family's brilliant and valiant King?

After the previous emperor's death and the new emperor's ascension, the King drove out the Uwen clan and achieved great merit. However, he only broke off an engagement. Could the Emperor uncle possibly make things difficult for a meritorious official because of this?

King Dingbei rode on his fiery steed, gazing towards Hui Kang City. A cruel smile played upon his handsome features as a fierce glint shone in his eyes.

Luo Hu, upon seeing the king's grandson, knew that what he had said was indeed what the prince desired. With a quick turn of his eyes, he added, "Your Highness, perhaps you could write a letter to your uncle and explain the situation beforehand. I believe your uncle would surely understand."

Marriage is a gift from the late emperor. If it's called off, the little emperor has to agree.

A little emperor, what could a little baby understand? It's still up to the royal uncle to nod.

>If the Emperor Uncle could approve in advance, then this matter would be settled.

King Dingbei raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Luohu. Thinking of something, he suddenly sneered, "Then you go on a trip."

Luo Hu was overjoyed.

Thus, Fu Liuniang's side could also be replaced.

The returning Northern Expedition army arrived in Huikang City, met with enthusiastic welcomes from the local populace. On the second floor of a wine shop, several young men adorned in fine silks stood by the window, their faces beaming and chattering excitedly. They would occasionally toss handkerchiefs or pouches towards King Dingbei.

One of them, wearing a green shirt, narrowed his eyes and looked at the purse in the man's hand. It landed accurately on He Runsheng's lap.

He took the purse, turned around, and across the teeming crowd, his eyes met with the green-clad man's. A smile immediately curved his lips.

"Lady Liu, Lord Dingbei caught your purse. He's looking at you!"

"Lucky Liu, she really is lucky. Too bad my pockets are empty."

"Oh, did King Dingbei just smile at Lady Liu?"

On the second floor of the teahouse across from the wine shop, Gu Qingyi finished watching this good show and clicked her tongue twice. Worthy of being a pair of "true" dog men, they could catch each other's eyes even while receiving the purse.

Before I traveled through time, I had read so many TV novels and stories, but nothing was like this.

Could this be the law of " "?

Gu Yishu's face was already contorted in anger, and he was about to charge down and punch He Runsheng, that hypocrite who acted like a decent person.

"Big brother," Gu Qingyi reached out with her slender hand to stop her brother, her eyes as clear and bright as the moon gazing at him. "You know this marriage is not what I want."

"Then he shouldn't treat you like that." Gu Yishu, worried about the setting not being their home, lowered his voice in anger.

"Had it not been for their private communication, the groom's and bride's intentions, I would never have been able to smoothly arrange this marriage!" Gu Qingyi sneered. "The servants in my household have already obtained information: He Runsheng wrote a letter to his uncle, intending most likely to break off the engagement."

"Even so, I won't let him get off easy. He was able to advance so smoothly in the military thanks to the Gu family's support on his guitar. Now that he wants to climb higher, he has to ask for the Gu family's permission." Gu Yishu suppressed his anger and looked at his sister, saying in a low voice.

“This is nature,” Gu Qingyi nodded lightly. “It’s just that the Crown Prince is eccentric and hard to fathom. Since he has broken off the engagement, let's see how he handles the situation before making any further decisions.”

If He Yunshen personally puts the green hat on her, Gu Qingyi will have him take it off for her.

If such a magical thing as time travel can happen, then anything is possible!

The Fu family is not the Gu family. Their men have always been practical and calculated when it comes to marriage, weighing pros and cons carefully. Even though Prince Dingbei achieved great military merit, in the eyes of the Fu family, he was nothing more than a crude commoner from a lower-ranking branch, unworthy of their consideration.

It won't be that easy to marry Fu Liu.
