Chapter 131.1 Past Life (1)
As the night got darker, Ye Sui closed her eyes and had a dream.
Suddenly Ye Sui heard numerous footsteps outside the room. One of them yelled: “The Crown Prince’s imperial concubine is getting married today, all of you need to work quickly and efficiently, this is a very important moment don’t make any mistakes.”
Ye Sui’s consciousness was a little vague, and she muttered : “The big wedding? What is the big wedding? What do you mean don’t make any mistakes?”
Ye Sui wanted to get up and see what was going on outside. At this moment, someone next to her said: “The Crown Prince’s imperial concubine is going to get married soon. This kerchief cannot be taken off.”
Ye Sui wanted to ask clearly what was going on. However, she hadn’t had the chance to speak, someone had already lifted her up. She obviously had no intention to go, but followed the person.
Ye Sui realized that her current body wasn’t under her control.
Perhaps, she had entered the Crown Prince’s imperial concubine’s dream. Since she was unable to break free, Ye Sui might as well immerse herself in this dream, experiencing the joy and sorrows of Crown Prince’s imperial concubine Xia Zhou.
Ye Sui was wearing a red kerchief and got into the carriage. The carriage slowly moved forward and after a long journey, it finally stopped.
The Crown Prince’s big wedding, it was full of red decorations everywhere, after all it was a national celebration.
Ye Sui was brought to the front where the Crown Prince was standing beside her. Ye Sui clearly had never seen the Crown Prince’s face before, however her attention was swayed away because of the mere hearing of these two words from other people’s ears.
Ye Sui took a glance, however the Crown Prince’s face wasn’t clear. But even then, she still could figure out that the Crown Prince had fine features, he was an honorable and noble person.

“Kowtow to the parents——”
“Kowtow to each other——”
“The ceremony is over”
The ceremony has ended, starting today onwards, she will be your wife.
Ye Sui and the Crown Prince were sent into the East Palace by the crowd. Ye Sui sat on the bed, her red kerchief still on her while waiting for the Crown Prince behind the red gauze curtains. Everything that could be seen by her wasn’t clear and indistinguishable, because she had been covered with a red kerchief.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and after a short while, sounds of footsteps were heard and they were getting closer and closer.
That person stopped in front of her, Ye Sui looked down and saw a pair of black boots embroidered with golden silk python-shaped patterns.
Ye Sui knew that this person was a Crown Prince and Ye Sui’s heart started to beat faster.
The Crown Prince stared fixedly at Ye Sui, his gaze slowly moved down.
Then, he raised his hands, those slender hands gently touched Ye Sui, getting closer and closer, only a few minutes away from Ye Sui. In the next second, the red kerchief would be lifted.
Ye Sui was very nervous, and she had slight expectations.
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside: “Report——” Someone had entered the East Palace and knelt before the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince withdrew and slowly dropped his hand. Then the Crown Prince asked in a deep voice, “What is the matter?”

The man kowtowed his head heavily, with an angry and grief voice said: “Your Highness, the battle ahead is urgent, our army was ambushed and many have been wounded and are suffering from severe injuries…”
“Subordinates are incompetent, please Crown Prince decide!”
The army was pressing the border, and the enemy’s invaders were watching us menacingly. As a prince, it was important for him to be on the battlefield.
He is her husband, but he is also the most noble and unrivalled Crown Prince of the Xia Zhou Dynasty. His honor and disgrace, his life and death are all related to the country.
Xia Zhou Dynasty gave him prosperity and he would do everything in his power to protect the country.
The Crown Prince did not speak for a long time, while Ye Sui was staring at the Crown Prince through the red curtain.
It was clear that Ye Sui couldn’t really see anything, but in the hazy red, she was able to clearly see that the Crown Prince seemed to turn his head and glance at her.
The Crown Prince looked so real yet so far away. And that the handsome, elegant, and unrivalled face was so close to her.
The Crown Prince’s dark and deep gaze seemed to be able to see through the red curtains and right into her eyes.
In the quiet atmosphere, Ye Sui heard the Crown Prince’s speaking in a low voice, it felt a bit familiar but a bit unfamiliar at the same time, reaching her ear very clearly.
“Once the war settles down, I will definitely come back to find you.”
The Crown Prince was looking at Ye Sui, slowly uttering two words, slowly and light, as if he had exhausted his deepest emotions: “Please wait for me.”
The word of the Crown Prince was a promise. Once he got back from the battle, he would love her, respect and care for her and grant her an imperial honor.

Ye Sui sat there quietly, with tears in her eyes. She didn’t cry when visiting the Crown Prince and she didn’t cry when the two looked at each other through the red yarn.
But when Ye Sui heard the Crown Prince uttered the words “Please wait for me”, Ye Sui couldn’t suppress her tears any longer and tears finally rolled down her face.
Ye Sui pressed her lips tightly, she wanted to speak with the Crown Prince. However, she could not control her body and was unable to speak.
At this moment, Ye Sui felt like she opened her mouth. She heard her own voice, her tone was extremely serious, a sad but happy tone “Your Highness, I will be waiting for you.”
If you cherished me, I would repay all your kindness and affection.
The Crown Prince turned and left, and everyone slowly dispersed. Ye Sui heard the noisy voices outside, they were currently preparing for the Crown Prince’s trip.
On the wedding night, after the ceremony was over, the imperial concubine’s kerchief wasn’t revealed, the Crown Prince and imperial concubine didn’t have the chance to meet each other yet, but he already went to the battlefield.
The Crown Prince took off with his commanders and soldiers and rode a horse leaving the palace. Everyone also left, and the East Palace suddenly became quiet. Ye Sui noticed that she raised her hand and gently took off the red kerchief.
Ye Sui didn’t get up for a long time and sat there in silence. The pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table burned for as long as Ye Sui sat waiting for the Crown Prince.
The wind was piercingly cold, the candle light was lingering, swayed gently, suddenly a “click” was heard and the candle light was completely out. The imperial concubine didn’t sleep for the entire night.
Ye Sui woke up from the dream, she opened her eyes and saw that the sky was already bright outside. She withdrew from the deep and serene east palace and returned to reality.
Her dream was so real that she couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or something she just experienced.
Ye Sui touched her face and felt a little bit wet. She was affected by the emotions she had in the dream, both the joy and sorrow of being Crown Prince’s imperial concubine.

Questions arose in Ye Sui’s heart. After that battle was over, did the Crown Prince come back? Did the imperial concubine stay awake till the Crown Prince came back…
Ye Sui felt a little depressed, she looked to her side and saw Chen Shu was sleeping beside her. Ye Sui raised her hand, wanting to touch Chen Shu, but she was afraid to wake up Chen Shu, so she put her hand down again.
Ye Sui stared at Chen Shu for an instant, were you the Crown Prince inside the dream? What happened in our previous life?
