Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

391 Bring good fortune

***A Day before the Crown Prince’s marriage***

Li Hua and Tianjie encountered each other in the royal garden, where Li Hua had come to pick some flowers. She bowed her head slightly. Tianjie walked past her when Li Hua stopped him. They both turned to each other.

“If the Third Prince allows, may I have a few minutes of his precious time?” Li Hua requested.

“What do you want to speak about?” Tianjie asked. His brows furrowed, and he waited for Li Hua’s answer.

“I want to apologize on behalf of my husband to the Third Prince. Prince Lóng Wei has hurt the Third Prince many times with his words,” Li Hua said and lowered her eyes.

Tianjie snickered to hear her words. “Don’t you think you should not apologize to me? Also, my matter with him will not end with an apology,” he asserted.

“I am well aware of it,” Li Hua said. “I also know that the Third Prince wanted to kill me,” she stated.

Tianjie was stunned to hear this from her. He thought no one had found out about it. How did she find out about it?

“Prince Lóng Wei also knows, and he is the one who told me about it. Third Prince, I understand why you targeted me. It is because my husband is not respectful toward his elder brother. I do not want my husband to fight with any of his brothers. I want a peaceful life for him. He has already suffered a lot in his childhood. That’s why I want the Third Prince to forgive Prince Lóng Wei for his behavior,” Li Hua stated. Her tone remained polite while conversing with Tianjie.

.....

“Do you think that Lóng Wei will not act according to the prophecy? Monk Yuze has seen his stars. Lóng Wei may want to kill me and his brothers for the throne someday. You are a peace-loving woman, but your husband is not. Do you think that he will let it go that I wanted to kill you?” Tianjie questioned her.

“Prince Lóng Wei knows to forgive. He has forgiven Kang Huijuan, who wrongly accused him seven months ago. The Third Prince should learn about his brother on this journey to Qijiang. If my husband had to take the Third Prince’s life, he would have done it already. In the end, it is this royal family that lets Prince Lóng Wei survive despite his dark past. The Third Prince can observe my husband when they are together in Qijiang. I am sure, he will find the answer that he has taken the meaning of the prophecy wrongly.” Li Hua explained the answers to every question to Tianjie.

“Li Hua, you are an amusing woman,” Tianjie remarked.

She looked at him in bewilderment, unable to understand why Tianjie said that.

“I will forgive Lóng Wei if I find his true persona. However, if your words are proved wrong, then I will continue to be his enemy, and I will not involve you in this,” Tianjie affirmed.

“When the Third Prince returns from Qijiang, his views on Prince Lóng Wei will be changed completely. I can assure him this,” Li Hua stated with a smile.

Li Hua looked at the basket in her hand in which she had put many flowers. She picked up two hibiscus flowers and forwarded them to Tianjie. “These are for the Third Prince good fortune and glory,” Li Hua said with a tiny smile on her lips.

When he did not take those flowers, Li Hua handed them to him. “A person shall never refuse to accept the flowers. They bring good fortune,” Li Hua told him. She took a step back and again bowed to him. “Thank you for giving out these few minutes of the Prince’s precious time,” Li Hua said and then peered into his eyes. “I will leave now,” she said, and she walked ahead of Tianjie.

Tianjie chuckled and watched Li Hua go. “Lóng Wei is lucky to have her,” he murmured and looked at the hibiscuses at his hand.

***Flashback ended***

Inside the horse carriage, Tianjie recalled his conversation with Li Hua and asked Lóng Wei to forgive him. However, Lóng Wei refused to do so and asked him not to talk to him.

“Mo Jinhai humiliated Li Hua, and you did not let me kill him. Do you even know what he said to Li Hua?” Lóng Wei gritted his teeth in a fury.

“What did he say?” Tianjie asked and crossed his arms across his chest.

“I won’t tell you,” Lóng Wei said.

“You cannot kill anyone randomly. I remember well how you said in front of everyone that you would not do anything that could land you in the cold palace. Mo Jinhai is the Governor’s son. You can punish him the right way too,” he advised Lóng Wei.

“Right way? You yourself use it the wrong way. How could you even lecture me on this?” Lóng Wei annoyingly asked him.

Tianjie let out a sigh. “But I have never tried to kill anyone like the way you were doing earlier,” he asserted.

“Your ways are more evil than mine,” Lóng Wei said as he recalled how Tianjie wanted to kill Li Hua.

“I wanted to find your weakness. I did not want to kill Li Hua that day. I stepped back from the plan when I found Jin Yu...” he paused and then continued, “the Crown Princess would accompany Li Hua. I wanted to check what your reaction was. I regret to even think about that. That’s why I apologize to you,” Tianjie revealed his real intention and why he planned to only harm Li Hua that day.

“Your wife has already forgiven me. I hope the same from you,” Tianjie stated.

“What?” Lóng Wei was confused to find that Li Hua had forgiven Tianjie. When? How?

“You are lucky, Lóng Wei, to have Li Hua as your wife. I am envious of you,” Tianjie stated. His words puzzled Lóng Wei. What did Li Hua talk to Tianjie about that he was speaking in a strange way.
