"Face, the beauty of one's features; hair, the beauty of one's locks. A male favorite is a beautiful man."
The beloved Protector General of Princess Jizhen died in her arms.
Before he died, he held her hand and said, "I hope these hands will never again be stained with blood."
"I promise," the princess vowed.
From then on, the terrifying Princess Royal would even go out of her way to avoid stepping on ants.
At the Qionglin Banquet, the moment the Princess Royal saw the top-ranked candidate, Wen Yulin, her wine cup slipped from her hand.
He looked nine-tenths like the late Protector General.
Seeing this, the emperor bestowed Wen Yulin upon the princess as her male favorite.
That very night, the newly crowned top candidate was dragged into the Princess's residence.
Wen Yulin raised hell in the Princess's residence and threw his weight around in Shengjing.
If the Princess Royal hadn't remembered her earlier promise, she would have loved to cut him down with a single stroke!
But when Wen Yulin was beaten to the ground by the son of the Cavalry General, coughing up blood and barely alive,
the Princess Royal drew her sword and killed the general's son with a single strike.
Wen Yulin smiled smugly as he spat blood. "Jizhen, your hands are stained with blood."
The vow you once made for him, in the end, you broke for me.
P.S. Black eats black.
