Chapter 102: It’s Good You Know Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

Peace marriage? Hearing this news, Qiqi’s body was cold all over. Her hands couldn’t hold firmly and the tea spilled on the table.

Mother Su asked concernedly: “Did you scald yourself?”

Qiqi shook her head perfunctorily. Her heart wasn’t here at all. Making the peace marriage with the northern country should be the second year of Shen Zhonghua’s ascension to the throne as the emperor. Why was it ahead of time now?

No, this thing was unknown. A lot of things have already developed in different directions from those in the previous life. His Majesty was still there. Shen Zhonghua hadn’t yet killed his elder brother to seize the throne. In addition, everything now including the situation was different from that of the previous life. His Majesty today was obviously entirely different from the previous life. He valued ​​Shen Zhonghua a little more and many ministers were obviously on his side. The crown prince’s loss of power was already a foregone conclusion. After the death of the emperor, Shen Zhonghua would obey his edict in accession without accident.

In the previous life, Qiqi replaced Su Lianxue to marry Ge Shuhan and suddenly heard about peace marriage, there were still lingering fears, but in this life, there was no more Su Lianxue and she was no longer a helpless slave, but she was still scared. What kind of person was Ge Shuhan, she knew in her previous life. Now the same former thing was brought up again, Qiqi’s heart was panic-stricken until she heard her sixth brother say: “I heard it was Prince Xuan who proposed that the candidates for the peace marriage should be selected from those princesses.”

Qiqi felt her heart beating like a drum. Why did he propose to let those princesses go for the peace marriage? Before she asked, she heard her sixth brother say as he clipped a piece of this shop’s signature ribs into her bowl: “I heard the princesses for this peace marriage are likely to be Princess Weilan and Princess Anning.”

These two people...... If you think carefully about what happened in the warm room, you would know it was related to these two people. Could it be...... Shen Zhonghua did it for her?

Those “insiders” of that day, Handsome Fairness Chen suffered from her own misfortune and died by slamming against the pillar, the empress and the crown prince were placed under house arrest, Imperial Uncle Cen was stripped of power and still had a hand cut off by someone. Now it was the two princesses’ turn... ...According to Qiqi’s understanding of Shen Zhonghua, this was indeed his usual handling. But he did this, was it really just to avenge her?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She thought she was really ridiculous. She’d lived again and still couldn’t help but have expectations from him. What was she expecting in the end......?

Qiqi’s train of thought was in a mess until mother Su said she wanted to thank the nineteenth princess for the mid-autumn banquet thing. She sent a message to the palace and took Qiqi to see her and thanked her tomorrow.

It was right to go. The nineteenth princess gave an opening to help her. Qiqi was also very grateful. It was just that she didn’t know the nineteenth princess would inform Shen Zhonghua as soon as she received the news. So on the second day when mother Su brought Qiqi into the palace, Imperial Concubine Chen was also there. Hence, she had reason to invite mother Su to her own palace to discuss flower art and embroidery. She said she wanted to leave the two little daughters to discuss their own things but shortly afterward, Shen Zhonghua was “on the way” to see the nineteenth princess.

Qiqi should have thought earlier that the nineteenth princess and Shen Zhonghua were of one mind as brothers and sisters.

“About the mid-autumn banquet......” The nineteenth princess said she was sleepy so she left on the pretext, leaving Qiqi and Shen Zhonghua alone. Although she was too ashamed to say what happened that day, she really should express her thanks to Shen Zhonghua: “Many thanks...... for Prince Xuan’s help.”

When these words were said, Qiqi thought it was incorrect somehow but before she had the chance to correct them, Shen Zhonghua took a step forward and forced her to step back. However, her skirt was too long and she tripped. She was unstable, but before she had time to stand firm, her waist was already embraced by Shen Zhonghua and drawn into his arms.

“No need to thank.” Shen Zhonghua lowered his head, looked at the little woman whose ears were red, and said very seriously: “This prince...... is extremely willing.”

Qiqi hurriedly pushed him away. It wasn’t good to yellow that he was disrespectful when she had already expressed her thanks. But since Shen Zhonghua was here, Qiqi couldn’t help but ask in the end: “Wangye, there is still one thing that Qiqi isn’t clear......”

“Qiqi can ask me.” Shen Zhonghua stopped teasing her and sat down in front of the tea table and poured her a cup of tea.

“I heard about the peace marriage thing...... that Wangye proposed for Princess Anning and Princess Weilan the two princesses?”

Shen Zhonghua didn’t dodge at all: “Yes.”

Qiqi sat down stiffly facing him and looked at his eyes. She didn’t drink tea and also didn’t open her mouth again. She looked at him with fear, probe, and doubt. Shen Zhonghua replied directly: “They can only blame themselves.”

“That Ge Shuhan......” Qiqi couldn’t restrain her mouth from opening and almost slipped.

However, Shen Zhonghua asked: “What about that Ge Shuhan?”

“He......” Qiqi’s eyes drooped, avoiding his gaze and said: “I heard he is an extremely cruel person. Especially when treating the women around him......”

Shen Zhonghua took a sip of tea with obscure eyes. When Qiqi thought the topic was over, he suddenly opened his mouth and said a sentence: “It’s good that Qiqi knows.”
