Has the Princess Divorced Yet? (Double Substitutes)

[Double Stand-ins + The Hero's Long Road to Winning Her Back] Everyone in Daqi knew that three years ago, during a snowy scene in Luoyang, Commandery Princess Duanhui Mu Jinning fell in love at first sight with Marquis of Jinbei Lin Yanhe and insisted on marrying him. But the Marquis had another woman in his heart, Princess Wenhui, who had married into Northern Yan. The Marquis married Mu Jinning only because she resembled Princess Wenhui by fifty percent, and because the Emperor had issued an imperial decree. The new Emperor ascended the throne, and Princess Wenhui, now a Grand Princess, returned after five years in Northern Yan. The Marquis of Jinbei and Mu Jinning divorced, and all of the capital watched, waiting to laugh at her. Instead, beneath the red silk curtains at the Zuihua Pavilion, they saw Mu Jinning lift a performer's chin with her hairpin swaying gently, and murmur, "Take off your makeup. Let this princess have a good look at you." Word of Mu Jinning's visits to the pleasure quarters spread throughout the capital overnight. Someone saw the performer's face and said he looked fifty percent like Lin Yanhe. So Mu Jinning still had feelings for the Marquis of Jinbei after all. Lin Yanhe didn't love Mu Jinning. He had agreed to divorce her to honor the promise they'd made all those years ago. He heard the rumors filling the city and went to the Princess's residence. There he saw the woman supposedly so deeply in love with him, reclining on a couch, while the performer helped her remove her stockings. When Mu Jinning saw him, she asked in a soft, dispassionate voice, "What brings the Marquis here?" A scroll of painting fell at Lin Yanhe's feet. The ink was still wet. It depicted a man in a jade crown and brocade robes, so dazzlingly handsome that he resembled Lin Yanhe by seventy percent. There was a small inscription: Xiao Linqi. And finally, her private seal. Everyone knew that Commandery Princess Duanhui excelled at meticulous painting, but had not painted for seven years. Her coming-of-age work, "The Crown Prince's Banquet," had earned acclaim throughout the realm. Her old paintings and new works alike were all devoted to the late Crown Prince Wuying of Daqi, Xiao Linqi. Lin Yanhe's eyes nearly split with rage. So both he and the performer in the pavilion were stand-ins for Crown Prince Wuying! In the eighth year of the Jianzhang era, heavy snow fell. Mu Jinning knelt in it and begged for an imperial decree granting their marriage. In the end, she and Lin Yanhe lived together in name only. In the first year of the Xuanwu era, heavy rain fell. Lin Yanhe knelt in it and begged Mu Jinning to change her mind, but she walked right past him. A few things to know: 1. This is a return to writing for practice, and the story outline is already set.
