Chapter 2

She remembered what her mother instructed her before dying, 'the imperial city isn't like Xuan Qing. After you leave Xuan Qing, you can't follow your impulses. Princess Kang Hua isn't someone you should offend. if you offend her. she'll take revenge.

You need to be careful of your words and actions.

Since Yan Shi Ning lived in the imperial city, she listened to her mother's warning and controlled her words and actions.

She quickly became well known in the imperial city for being gentle and docile.

At the beginning she wasn't used to supressing her impulses. The heavens knew she was someone who had a quick temper and restless. It was hard for her to be a well behaved young lady who never showed her teeth while laughing. Luckily the more she acted gentle and docile, it gradually became a habit.

Within two years living in the imperial city when people were free and talked about the prime minister's oldest daughter they would associate Yan Shi Ning with gentle and docile. Of course afterward thy would say that it was a pity someone so gentle and docile couldn't be married off.

Yan Shi Ning didn't feel it was a pity. The heavens knew she didn't care about being unwed and that she had already prepared to live an independent old maid's life.

But quickly it became clear that as she aged, someone else would see her marriage state as an obstacle in their path.

She waved her fan, looked at the sky and inwardly realised it was possible for a person to be an obstacle in relation to marriage.

Yan Shi Ning sat silently opposite her father in the courtyard.

Yan Jing contemplated for a while about how much he owed his oldest daughter and felt guilty discussing his youngest daughter's marriage plight.

'Shi Ning, the crown prince want to marry shi ting, 'Yan Jing said. 'The latest the wedding can be postpone is at the start of next year. '

Yan Shi Ning lowered her head and laughed inwardly. She kee her father's motive for telling her about Yan Shi Ting's good nes wasn't so that she could say to Yan Shi Ting, 'little sister congratulations'.

what her father wanted to say was 'your little sister wants to get married, you should think about your little sister's situation and prepare yourself mentally to quickly find a husband so that you won't interfere with your little sister's auspicious wedding day. '

The culprit behind her father coercing her to find a husband was clearly Princess Kang Hua's powerful influence.

'it isn't right for Shi Ting to be married before her older sister. 'Yan Jing said.

Yan Jing sighed endlessly and felt incredibly guilty.

Yan Shi Ning appeared to look guiltier than her father. 'Father it's my fault for causing you to worry. '
