Until one time when she saw another side of her, Zhang Wei saw a water snake leaping out of the garden and changed color in fear. Hyun-er did not panic and very quietly pulled Zhang Wei out from another flower path, when everyone was scared white. If it wasn't for Peony's ability to come out without moving, I'm afraid that she and Zhang Wei would have stepped on that snake, and no one could have predicted the consequences. From that time onwards, she knew that Peony is not as weak as she looks, but it's just that not everyone can see this side.

　　It seems like from that time onwards, there was a heart for Hyun-il. There was a sigh of relief when Father gave himself the finger in marriage. If it wasn't for the fact that Hyun-er was too young and was worried that she wouldn't be able to hold up the heavy words, I'm afraid that the Crown Princess or even the Empress wouldn't have landed in the Zhang family. Gyun Er was the daughter-in-law that the late emperor had favored but could not stay in his own family. To this point wanting to turn this matter into reality, but found themselves equally powerless. Because what the Empress Dowager said was just too much to dismiss: the Zhuge family had a recreative favor with the Royal Family, and could not chill the old minister's heart.

　　“When you grow up, you don't like to walk around.” When the emperor turned his face to look at Zhang Wei, his face was already much better than before, “It's time to point out the marriage, isn't it?”

　　“Who does the Emperor want to appoint Hyun Er to be married to?” Zhang Wei laughed, “The person who can be Hyun Er's husband's son-in-law is bound to be not simple.”

　　“Zhuge Chen.” The Emperor was almost annoyed to the core with this name and person, if it wasn't for him he wouldn't have to make this choice.

　　Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, “Between Prime Minister Zhuge and Cuiyun in the first place there was just a layer of windowpaper missing that was not pierced, everyone knows that. If we marry Peony to the Prime Minister at this time, I'm only afraid that Peony will have a bad time.”

　　The emperor back his hand did not speak, this matter no one is more clear than him, even if Jun Kyun after receiving the box and the jade plate, never said a word to him, even when congratulating the festival also just follow the people kowtowed together to thank the grace. As if nothing had ever happened, what kind of answer did Jungyun want to give him?

　　Guan Junyun was under the window, concentrating on her needlework. Ever since Guan Xiuyun had left the palace, she had hardly been out of the house. With Wu Jianxue having just given birth to a white, fat son, even the chance for aunt and sister-in-law to speak seemed rare.

　　“噝.” Somehow, I've always been restless lately. The person who was doing a good job of stitching had her hand poked again and held her finger in her mouth for a while before pulling it out. There were quite a few stitch marks on it, and I didn't know why I was making so many things. It was as if to diminish the lingering shadow at the back of her mind. Some people say that Guan Xiuyun is the one who made the peace for herself, only from the beginning to the end, she is just a bystander, just waiting for someone else to arrange her future.

　　“Miss, why are you doing this again?” Qi Qian comes in with her things, seeing her like this she almost reaches out to grab the things in her hand, “General is back, said he has something to say to you, ordered the slave girl to invite you over.” While packing up the things, she complained: “Look at you, as long as you have nothing to do, you will do these. I'm afraid my eyes are astringent again.”

　　“Fortunately, idleness is still idleness.” Putting down the embroidery bandage, Guan Junyun got up and straightened the jade pendant that was pressing her skirt. I don't know what has happened again, could it be that the things that I have been jittery about for the past few days are really going to become a reality, I just don't know what it should be on.

　　“Brother back.” Inside the flower hall, Guan Xin Yun was dressed in his usual clothes, and when he saw this scene, Guan Junyun's heart felt a little more at ease. It shouldn't be too bad a thing: “Brother looking for me, is there something he instructed me to do?”

　　“All go down, I have something to say to Miss.” Guan Xin Yun waved everyone away, leaving only the brother and sister in the large flower hall, “Hyun Er, your marriage is finalized.”

　　This matter had to come sooner or later, and Guan Junyun did not find it strange, nor was she as coy as the average woman. Guan Xiuyun was her twin sister, and their marriages wouldn't be too long apart, “Is that what brother wants to tell me?”

　　“Yes, do you know whose family it is?” Guan Xin Yun had a hint of gravity in his expression, when he heard these words from the emperor's mouth just now in the imperial study, he somewhat did not believe his ears. Wafan that thing above, one has not yet had time to ask for grace, the emperor with the swiftness of lightning, at the last moment to catch people off guard. The name on the decree was changed, just because the day before Guan Cuiyun knew what was on the decree that's why she came back to say so much, she just saw the decree prepared by Zhuge Chen, but didn't know that the person who decided everything in the end was exactly the one who was going to keep Peony, the Emperor.

　　So when the emperor told himself that he was going to appoint Hyun Er to Zhuge Chen in marriage, no one could believe the result. Did the emperor not want to incorporate Hyun-er into the palace? If he hadn't done so, how could he have given the jade tablet and wooden box that symbolized the emperor's status as heir to the throne to Gyun Er?

　　At the time of Cuiyun's wedding, she had mentioned this to herself, but at the time, she had only taken it as a bad joke because of Cuiyun's own resentment. I never thought it would come true, and I can only imagine how Cuiyun organized her sister's future around the Empress Dowager when she found out she was to be married in Nanzhong.

　　To the empress, it seemed like sisterly love, and how hard it was to have a sister who thought so much of her. It was only when Guan Xiuyun exhausted her efforts to discredit Hyun-er in front of Zhuge Chen that Hyun-er's marriage was doomed to be inharmonious. No one could see Zhuge Chen's temperament more clearly than Guan Xin Yun. He didn't want to think about how gray the future he had spent his heart and soul planning for Hyun-er would be.

　　“Whose family?” Guan Junyun in turn figured out who it could be, that box said it all, he himself escaped from He Fan's royal consort, but could not hide from the fate of a concubine in the Emperor's palace.

　　“Zhuge Chen, the young lady of the Prime Minister's residence.” Guan Xin Yun's voice carried a hint of uncertainty when he said it. The emperor seemed to look no better than him when he said this just now.

　　“What?!” Guan Junyun was stunned and stumbled on his feet. How could it be Zhuge Chen's wife? She had seen everything between Zhuge Chen and Guan Cuiyun, and the look of the two of them looking at each other in the Weiyang Palace was still fresh in her mind; if they weren't in love to that extent, they would never have looked at each other like that. Since it is the deepest love to such a point, it will never allow a third person.

　　If you have never seen this with your own eyes. Or still have a glimmer of hope for their own future, once seen will not think about these. Moreover, in everyone's mind, she was not even close to Guan Cuiyun's finger, how could she be Zhuge Chen's wife, the so-called Prime Minister's wife.

　　“Second brother, is this true?” Guan Junyun did not believe her ears, sincerely hoping to have heard wrong.

　　“What would brother do to lie to you?” Had I known this would happen, I would have been better off letting Jun Hyun marry far away, at least there would be less hurt.

　　“The person he wants to marry is Sister not me.” Guan Jungyun finally realizes where her jitters stem from, has she really foreseen that her future will be worse than what she imagined. As a bystander, one could feel sorry for the two of them because they were in love but couldn't stay together. But when this bystander stood between them, all the cruelty of fate would befall her.

　　“Those things are long past, what's the use of bringing them up when the time has passed. Cuiyun has her own life, and so will you.” Guan Xin Yun didn't know how to comfort his sister, but could only give her a glimmer of hope with the kindest of lies: “Second Brother knows that you'll do better than Cuiyun. No one knows better than Second Brother, right?”

　　Guan Junyun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, this certainty came too suddenly, a bit absurd from the sky. Zhuge Chen, the future husband. Or maybe her future was the most risky attempt.
