You only told half the story, got others hooked, and then left them hanging.”
“How can you blame me? This happened sixteen years ago. Most of the older palace staff who knew the inside story have retired due to old age. Where do you expect me to gossip from?”
“Ah, it's such a pity that it didn't work out. His Majesty and the Prime Minister were a match made in heaven. If they could truly be married, they'd be together for a lifetime, their love admired by many.”
*
A lifetime together!
In her heart, only that person was the one she would cherish dearly, and wholeheartedly protect for her entire life.
Ji Liuyun's senses were sharp, and he effortlessly overheard the conversation between the two Female Officials. His hand, holding the folding fan, paused, and a bitter smile graced the corner of his lips.

Seventeen years ago, the Empress personally led the army to subdue Beiming.
Just as the army captured Ming City, Lin Xiaoyang received a letter from Madam and returned from the ten northern cities to personally propose a marriage to the Old Master.
The Old Master initially disapproved, using the excuse that his granddaughter was still young, and rejected the proposal of the couple.
However, not long after, they received tragic news, plunging the Duke of Zhen's mansion into immense grief.
The Empress's body perished, her spirit merged with the Lotus of Eternal Life, her fate uncertain.
The Imperial Astronomers observed the celestial signs and declared that the Empress's Purple Star had encountered a bloody calamity–the Nether Star's heavy Yin aura was to blame.
She needed a man born on the day with the richest Yang energy within a year, July 15th, to marry her and help her avoid this disaster.
And he, was indeed born on July 15th.
With that, the marriage proposal process officially commenced.
The King of Yan personally went to Liyang City as a representative of the Ji Clan, and with the help of mediators and matchmakers, the marriage was officially arranged.

He once thought that he and her were destined to be together, willingly waiting for her for ten years.
However, he never expected that what he would get after waiting wasn't her deep love and affection, but indifference and mercilessness.
She said that with him dead, her heart was empty, and she would never love anyone again.
At that moment, all of his beautiful expectations for her vanished like smoke in the air.
*
Perhaps it was due to her guilt, or an attempt to completely sever this emotional tie.
She took the initiative to help him cultivate Spirit Roots and step onto the path of immortality.
He responded without hesitation.
He never told her that even if she didn't do this, he wouldn't blame her.
Waiting for her for ten years, without regrets.
In this life, he was obsessed with her and her alone.

“Prime Minister.”
An Attendant hurriedly approached from the direction of the palace gate, interrupting his thoughts, pulling him back from the memories of the past.
“Miss Li from the General's Mansion is waiting for you outside the palace. She invites you to attend the Poetry Appreciation Gathering at the Bright Moon Pavilion.”
“Understood.”
Ji Liuyun's eyes flickered, and he collected himself, gracefully fanning his folding fan as he walked slowly towards the palace gate.
*
The Regent was diligent, the nation was prosperous, and his achievements were universally praised by the officials.
As luck would have it, they had a honored daughter in their midst, so the officials fiercely advocated for a grand banquet within the Imperial Palace. They invited royalty from various countries to display the majesty of the Phoenix Goddess, who commanded the admiration of all nations and symbolized the dignity of the earthly emperors.
After discussing with her siblings, Lin Jinyun decided to reach an agreement with the royal families of various countries, ending the long-standing thousand-year conflict and forging peace treaties.
Therefore, they made use of this occasion to send out numerous invitations.
Not only did they invite the royalty from various countries, but also famous heroes, civilians, and even the hundred families of the Immortal Sects were invited under the call of the Kunlun Sect.
The gathering of famous people in Liyang City made it extremely lively and bustling.
*
On the night of the full moon, Little Xiyue's full moon feast arrived as agreed.
The Hall of Peaceful Harmony was brightly lit, and royals from various countries, representatives from the hundred Immortal Sects, and distinguished guests gathered together.
