Avenge For Love novel Chapter 52

As she was the only daughter, the emperor favored her a lot and doted on her the most. Everyday, gifts would be sent to her palace hall and even the concubines were jealous of the way the emperor treated her.

Princess Shuchun was adored by all her older brothers, even if some were enemies to each other. Her birthday was very special because it was the only time her brothers set aside their evil plans to celebrate it. They even got along to the point that you'd think, there's no way they are trying to kill each other for the throne.

"Princess, how is your bath?" One of the female attendants asked when she saw the princess with a gloomy face.

The answer gave no response so the servants stopped trying to ask. They didn't want to anger her if she was feeling down.

"Have you ever been married?" Princess Shuchun's gentle and childish voice asked. Being only twelve at the moment, she was very disappointed with herself.

The servants heard her serious question and both shook their heads vigorously.

"Of course not. Princess, us servants will get killed if we marry while serving in the palace."

There was another long silence.

Princess Shuchun stared into her reflection as she recalled her father's words a month ago.

"You are getting to an age suitable for marriage. On your birthday, you will be the husband I have chosen for you."

At that time, she was dumbfounded. She was only an child, how could she possibly marry? No matter how much she wanted to refuse, she was in no position to.

"He's from an outstanding background and out of all the candidates, the most suitable for my one and only daughter."

Princess Shuchun felt herself tearing up but she quickly played it off as she dove into the bath. She came back up for air and looked at her two servants blankly.

"What are you planning going do?"

Yuyan asked, helping Wu Xingxie wear her clothes.

"I will create a scene for them to enjoy. As you know, many court officials will be present. Imagine how much he and his son's reputation will be affected." Wu Xingxie replied before taking a seat in front of the mirror. Today was the awaited day. It was Princess Shuchun's birthday so the capital was bustling with special events. Only those invited by the emperor could attend the party so many people decided to celebrate their own way.

Princess Shuchun was admired by the people because she was known to help out commoners. The loads of gifts that her father gave mostly ended up being donated or auctioned off as she really didn't want or need them. Having his love was already enough so she was very grateful to him.

"But, Eldest Miss, aren't you worried about being found out?" She brushed Wu Xingxie's long hair, removing the tangles and knots.

"Yuyan, if I was scared of being caught, why would I do this in the first place?" Wu Xingxie smiled into the mirror, grabbing her cosmetics to put on her face.

From where she sat, she saw many people looking at the Wu family members who were headed to the palace. Master Wu and Madam Wu were in the first carriage before hers while Wu Yunxia was inside the one behind hers.

Wu Xingxie leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to relax a bit. She needed all the energy to watch the show she had prepared for today.

"Princess, you're so beautiful! You'll surely

grow up to be the most beautiful woman in the capital." A female attendant complimented when they finished helping the girl put on her clothes.

Princess Shuchun was wearing a dress gifted by her maternal grandmother. It was a dark blue hanfu with red roses embroidered on. Her hair was pinned up with the finest hair clips, making her look more mature rather than a thirteen year old.

The princess didn't reply as she walked out her room into the hallway. The eunuchs greeted her before she walked off into the direction of the hall where the party would be held.

At the same time, many guests were already entering the palace, with guards carrying the gifts into a separate room.

There were decorations everywhere throughout the palace, even the maids and eunuchs were specially dressed for the event.

"I heard Princess Shuchun is favored even more than the Crown Prince!" An official who was entering the hall whispered to his friend.
