With the imperial decree, she couldn't escape even if she wanted to; no matter how much she loathed that person, she had to marry them without any room for negotiation.
No matter how unwilling or dissatisfied, she had to accept this marriage.
To continue living in mutual displeasure and torment, with no room for choice.
Jun Ning dared not imagine such days.
"Father," Jun Ning saw that being firm wouldn't work, so she changed her approach and coyly said: "My dear father, please spare me. I don't want to be arranged for marriage so early and then have no choice left."
"I don't want to marry; I want to always, always stay with you."
Emperor Yongning sighed deeply, stroked Jun Ning's head, and said with a heavy heart, "But father cannot always, always stay with you!"
"But even so, father, you shouldn't hastily arrange Bao'er's marriage." Jun Ning said, "Bao'er wants to choose her own husband in the future."
