What Could a Young Princess Possibly Be Up to? (Reborn)

Emperor Ming worried that the Prince of the North had become so powerful that he threatened the throne. So Chen Yu, the Prince of the North's daughter and Commandery Princess Changning, had no choice but to go to the capital as a hostage.

Being a hostage was bad enough, but Emperor Ming claimed he was looking for a husband for Chen Yu, intending to use marriage to keep Commandery Princess Changning in the capital for good.

This left Chen Yu in a panic. She was perfectly happy in the north and had no desire to spend the rest of her life in the capital.

Soon, rumors of Commandery Princess Changning's arrogance and high-handedness spread throughout the capital.

They said she was suspicious and jealous, and made the Fourth Princess cry with just three sentences.

They said she was arrogant and rude, and struck the Second Young Master of the Minister of Rites' family the moment they met, after he tried to lecture her about etiquette.

They said she was sharp-tongued and cruel, and drove Madam Yue of the Marquis of Xuanping's household to leave in disgrace.

So everyone said that although Commandery Princess Changning was of exalted status, she was certainly no one's idea of a suitable match.

Chen Yu was satisfied and prepared to head home, but she never expected someone to petition Emperor Ming to grant a marriage decree.

Chen Yu: ???

Shen Zhi: I like her just the way she is.

Upcoming historical romance: The Palace Maid Substitute Ran Away

Yu Chan was a diligent palace maid. Her greatest wish in life was to save up some money, leave the palace when she turned twenty-five, and live out her days in peace.

Unfortunately, life had other plans.

One day, as Yu Chan was diligently sweeping fallen leaves in the imperial garden, someone came stumbling over and tore her clothes off.

After that day, she became the emperor's woman, but without a title or status. She received the allowance of a senior palace maid at Qianqing Palace, while also doing the work of a concubine.

Yu Chan only learned later that whenever the emperor summoned her, it was because he was thinking of the person he loved, someone who was just out of reach.

Yu Chan thought it over and decided it wasn't worth it. She had to get out of there, fast.

At last, she found an opportunity to fake her death and escape the palace.

However, Yu Chan had no idea just how hysterical and deranged the normally cold-hearted emperor became when he heard of her death.

Qin Ge: Later, I found out she wasn't dead, and that she'd been telling everyone she was a widow. Did she get something wrong?
