"If we don't return to the palace, where are we going?" the young prince asked in confusion.
Gu Lan took out a paper packet from his chest, opened it, and inside were candies of a golden hue, coated in a thin layer of sugar frost, exuding an enticing aroma.
He handed one to Rong Heng, took one for himself, and said, "County Princess Changle, do you know what it means to reach the age of maturity?"
Rong Baoyi was momentarily stunned, then her bright eyes gradually dimmed, "I know... Reaching maturity means I can no longer be willful. As a member of the Rong Family and as Prince Rui's daughter, perhaps I will soon have to marry someone I don't like or even know."
What does exalted status matter? What does being Prince Rui's daughter matter? What awaits these royal women is a life of being controlled.
Because of this, Rong Baoyi wanted to join the military to escape that destined fate.
