Special 11: Passionate Love (Section Begin) 1

His father was her father’s royal guard.

She hoped he would be hers too.

Not only that, she hoped to have further development with him.

However, after five years, he followed her decision and protected her closely, but he refused to marry her.

In order to break the deadlock, she decided to take the matters into her own hands. She didn’t believe that after “eating” her, he still refused to put aside his stubbornness…

Five years passed in a flash.

When she turned eighteen and when her biological brother Xue Yuan took over the position of the ruler of Blood Union, she came to this northern territory that was entrusted to her by the new emperor Blood Union – Yan Xiu.

The imperial princesses of the Blood Union also needed to work hard for the prosperity of their homeland, just like the heir to the throne.

Living up to expectations, in the past five years, after she made a systematic plan for Yan Xiu, she has achieved remarkable results.

The northwest area near the Far Xia Kingdom was covered with snow for many years and was sparsely populated, so all the residents here were moved to the densely populated southern end. Only a few guard posts were set up at the northwest border, and soldiers were dispatched to guard the border every month.

As for the densely populated Yanxiu City, the original boundary was expanded, and the main city was extended thousands of feet. And funded by the national treasury, more houses were built to accommodate the residents who gathered from the border.

In the main city, several large-scale industries invested by the Blood Union royal family have been added, including food shops, clothing shops, inns, and horse shops, almost covering the basic necessities in Yanxiu City.

In this way, the life and work of the residents who migrated from the border were solved, and Yanxiu City has gradually begun to prosper.

In the past five years, the prosperity of the main city has gradually extended to the suburbs on all sides, further expanding the main city. It even absorbed more and more residents from the inner city of Blood Union to move here.

Five years later, Yan Xiu had become the third largest city in the Blood Union after the Imperial Capital and Nancheng.

The hard work and hardships during this period need not be mentioned. What moved the people of the city the most was their Castellan, the sister of the current lord of the country. She was twenty-three this year, and had no news about her marriage.

Since the Castellan took over Yan Xiu, the people of Yan Xiu have been looking forward to it year after year.

Nowadays, in addition to talking about the vegetables of the day and the state affairs of the Blood Union, the next most popular topic of the civilians was the marriage of the city’s Castellan.

“What does it have to do with me?” Xue Zhen was wearing a silk brocade robe that reached the ground, and her long hair that was still wet after washing, it was dripping with drops of water that covered her back. She pork without looking up as she held Yan Xiu’s geographical profile in her hand. Her cold voice, without the slightest wave, spoke as if the topic had nothing to do with her.

“What does it have to do with you? Younger sister, they are talking about is not someone else, but you.” Xue Yuan held his three-year-old son and walked squarely around the study, his sword-like eyebrows showing his great surprise.

“So what?” Xue Zhen looked up at Xue Yuan before lowering her head again, and turned her attention to the booklet in her hand.

“So what?” Xue Yuan was stunned for a while, “It really doesn’t matter. However, you are their Castellan, and it’s normal for them to care about you. Then again, what are your plans? Did you really decide to remain single? You should know that the imperial father and imperial mother will never let you mess around, they…”

“When did I say I was going to remain single?” Xue Zhen coolly interrupted Xue Yuan’s speculation.

“Huh? No? Then why didn’t you choose one of the young talents appointed by your father to be your male concubine?” Xue Yuan stared at her with a “don’t fool me” expression.

“I have my own opinion. Brother, are you that free?”. Xue Zhen finally couldn’t help but stop Xue Yuan from continuing to talk about whether she would marry or not.

“I’m very free?!?” Xue Yuan stroked his chest in a hurtful expression and said: “Don’t you know that I rushed seven days and nights of work for this trip?”.

“I don’t know.” Xue Zhen glanced at him, “If that’s the case, you can go back to Blood Union. Don’t worry, I will definitely report this year’s tax report to you before the end of the year.”

“Xue Zhen, do you really think your brother is so idle? To come all the way to Yan Xiu to rush you for a tax report? You are really… angering me to death.” Xue Yuan poured another cup of tea, “Ok, I’ll go back tomorrow. Don’t say I didn’t remind you. If you don’t have a confirmed target before the end of the year, you can just wait for the imperial father to recruit you a male consort.”

“Understood.” Xue Zhen nodded lightly, “Thank you, brother. I just don’t want you to come here specially for this matter, putting aside the affairs at hand and running here, I…”

“Okay, I understand. But I am here for this matter. Imperial father is going all out to recruit a concubine for you, so you best shape up. If you really like someone, you should act quickly.”

Like someone? Xue Zhen froze, she did have a crush, but the other party didn’t reciprocate it.

Apart from her and him, no third party knew about this matter.
