Over the past few days, Murong Qiqi had been very idle, so idle that she was about to go moldy.
The King's Palace was decorated with lanterns and colored banners in preparation for Feng Cang's wedding. Feng Cang also appeared and disappeared mysteriously, and Wan Yankang came by a few times. The two of them mingled together and whispered to each other, as if they were hiding something from Murong Qiqi. However, they were very mysterious, and Wan Yankang even hid it from Su Mei. There must be something fishy going on.
There were still three days until the wedding. On this day, the manor was abnormally quiet. When Murong Qiqi woke up naturally, it was already noon. She realized that Su Mei and Suyue were not by her side. She called out twice, but no one appeared. Murong Qiqi had no choice but to get up and wash up. As she did not know how to tie her hair, she let her hair down to her heels. She put on her clothes and left Tingsong Tower.
It was still the first month of the lunar calendar, and the weather was still cold. Murong Qiqi walked around the manor in the snow. After walking for a while, she realized that something was wrong. The entire palace was quiet. She couldn't hear anything or see anyone.
"Your Highness? Su Mei! Suyue! "
It was quiet, and no one responded. Occasionally, one or two birds could be heard, but there was no other sound.
How strange … Murong Qiqi was surprised. Where did everyone go? Were they all busy preparing for the wedding? But there shouldn't be no one here!
Not a single person could be seen in the entire manor. By the time Murong Qiqi returned to Tingsong Tower, it was already evening.
It was winter, and the sky darkened even earlier. Looking at the dusk sky, Murong Qiqi felt a little uneasy. What was going on? Why isn't everyone here? Could it be that something had happened? Or did someone invade the prince's residence?
Just as Murong Qiqi was lost in her thoughts, the sound of a zither rang out. The sound of the zither was melodious, like the gurgling of spring water, intoxicating the listener. Someone was there! Murong Qiqi was overjoyed. She immediately followed the sound of the zither to find its source, but she ended up in a plum forest.
It was winter and the red plum blossoms were in full bloom. Murong Qiqi immediately spotted Feng Cang in the pavilion.
It was as if Feng Cang was exceptionally handsome today. She was still dressed in snow-white clothes, and her long hair was tied up on top of her head with only a hairpin to hold it in place. At this moment, Feng Cang was concentrating on playing the guqin. His slender fingers plucked the strings and beautiful music came from his fingertips. The entire plum forest was enveloped in this moving music.
"Qingqing, you're here!" Feng Cang stood up and led Murong Qiqi into the pavilion. On the table, two exquisite red candles had been lit. What was even more surprising was that there was a bunch of bright red plums in the jade vase on the table.
The orange candlelight rendered the atmosphere unusually warm, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of plums. At this moment, Feng Cang's eyes were especially gentle, causing Murong Qiqi to be infatuated.
Could it be that he wanted to —
Before Murong Qiqi could think of anything, Feng Cang was already kneeling in front of her with an exquisite box in his hand. He opened it to reveal an exquisite ruby ring.
"Murong Qiqi, are you willing to marry me, stay with me, bear my children, and be buried in my ancestral grave after you die?"
"Pfft!" Behind the fake mountain, someone heard the last sentence and laughed out loud.
Murong Qiqi did not find this funny at all. Right now, her heart was filled with something called sweetness. Be buried in the Feng family's grave after death? Leave a memorial tablet in the Feng family's ancestral hall next to Feng Cang? What a wonderful thing it was!
"Qingqing, are you willing? Are you willing to be my bride? " Feng Cang was a little anxious when Murong Qiqi didn't speak for a long time. There was something called anxiety in his eyes. "Are you willing?"
Feng Cang was a little worried that Murong Qiqi wouldn't be willing.
He had prepared for so long just to give Murong Qiqi the ideal marriage proposal. However, he had never seen or heard of such a proposal before. He had thought about it for a long time over the past two days before choosing this place and using this method to appear before Murong Qiqi.
Now that Murong Qiqi wasn't willing to nod, Feng Cang's sensitivity and worries all came out. If Murong Qiqi didn't agree or rejected him directly, what should he do? He had never thought of "forcing" Murong Qiqi to marry him. She must have heard the rumors flying around the capital these past two days. If, before marriage, she timid, or retreat, then what should he do?
In less than ten seconds, Feng Cang's mind was filled with many "unimaginable" consequences. His eyes were filled with anxiety and a trace of fear.
When she saw Feng Cang's sincere and melancholic eyes, Murong Qiqi's heart softened. This man! He was so manly, but he was so careful now. It was pitiful!
"Your Highness, I am willing!" Murong Qiqi extended her left hand in front of Feng Cang. "I'm willing to marry you and be your wife. Be it in good times or bad, in wealth or in poverty, in health or in sickness, in happiness or in sorrow, I will always love you, cherish you, and be faithful to you, for eternity!"
The surroundings were silent. Murong Qiqi's gentle voice soothed Feng Cang's worries.
When he heard that Murong Qiqi was willing to marry him and that she would never leave him no matter what the situation was, Feng Cang was so excited that his lips trembled slightly. He stood up and pulled Murong Qiqi tightly into his embrace, wishing for nothing more than to fuse her into his bones.
"I love you too! I am also willing to be with you for a long time. Be it good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad, I will always love you, cherish you, and be faithful to you forever! "
Feng Cang remembered Murong Qiqi's promise in just one sentence. He hugged Murong Qiqi tightly as his heart raced. After so many years, Feng Cang had never been as happy as he was today!
Even though there was no doubt that Murong Qiqi was his bride, this marriage was arranged between the two countries and not of her own will.
All along, Feng Cang had always been a little worried that Murong Qiqi was only marrying him because of pressure. But now, when he heard Murong Qiqi say "I am willing" and "I will always love you", the knot in Feng Cang's heart was completely untied.
