Begging Bitterly
Jing Xuan had been waiting in Shaoxian Hall, anxiously pacing back and forth while rubbing her hands.
"Princess, you should sit for a while. Miss Kong has just entered the palace and should still be in Fuyang Hall."
Just as the palace maid finished speaking, another palace maid beside her elbowed her.
He reminded, "What Miss Kong? His Majesty has conferred her the title of Princess Huiwen. You can't call her that. "
"I … I'm just not used to it yet."
"When Princess Huiwen arrives, don't call her the wrong way again. You'll lose your head."
"I know, I know …"
Jing Xuan glared at the two maids. "What are you arguing about? This Princess is extremely anxious right now, and you still have the mood to talk about such things? "
The two maids immediately lowered their heads and knelt.
"It's this servant's fault. Please forgive us, Princess."
"Get up!" Jing Xuan angrily shouted and waved her sleeves.
As soon as the maids got up, Jing Xuan saw Kong Yu.
"Big Sister Kong!"
She quickly ran over.
She grasped Kong Yu's cold, delicate hands.
Kong Yu seemed to have guessed that Jing Xuan would be waiting for her here. She wasn't surprised and instead smiled faintly. She reached out and touched Jing Xuan's flushed face.
"Jing Xuan." She called out to her.
Jing Xuan immediately burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, Big Sister Kong 'er. I didn't know that Imperial Mother wanted you to replace me and go to Qujiang. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn't have let Imperial Mother do this."
"Jing Xuan, you don't need to feel guilty. I'm not blaming you." She smiled.
"I know that you like Imperial Brother. I'm sorry, Big Sister Kong 'er. Don't worry, I'll definitely beg Imperial Mother not to let you marry to Qujiang."
"It's too late. His Majesty's decree has already been issued. No one can change it." Kong Yu's tone was still flat.
Jing Xuan sniffled, tears still flowing. She shook her head emotionally. "No, it can be changed. Imperial Father's decree hasn't been announced yet, right? There's still time, there's definitely time. I'll beg Imperial Mother and let her beg Imperial Father. If Imperial Mother doesn't agree, I'll beg Imperial Father. Even if I have to die, I won't let you marry. "
"It's useless, Jing Xuan. Don't anger your Imperial Mother and Imperial Father for me. I'm willing to do it."
"You're lying. Can you bear to part with your brother?"
As soon as the question was asked, Kong Yu lowered her eyes and smiled.
She opened the petal in her palm. Despite her careful care, it was still crumpled.
She slowly opened her mouth, "Ever since we were young, I never wanted to make things difficult for him. I didn't want to force him to do things he didn't like. As long as I can accompany him and watch him, I am already satisfied. I also know that even if I say a thousand, ten thousand times that I want to be his Princess Rong, as long as he is unwilling, I won't force it."
"Sister Yu Er …"
"Jing Xuan, I've already agreed to this matter. From the moment I received the imperial edict to enter the palace, I've already accepted it. In fact, going to Qujiang is not a bad idea. When I was in Emerald Retreat, I heard people say that Qujiang has an endless grassland and also a picturesque place like Jiangnan. You know, I've always liked that kind of place."
As she said this, the corners of her mouth curved into a shallow smile.
Jing Xuan's tears flowed even harder. The more Kong Yu didn't blame her, the more she smiled brightly, the more guilt she felt.
She clenched her teeth, puffed out her chest, and resolutely said, "No, I can't let you marry to Qujiang. In your heart, there's only my brother. I can't separate you two."
After saying that …
She rushed out of Shaoxian Hall, completely ignoring Kong Yu's attempts to stop her.
Watching her figure rush out, Kong Yu's eyes showed a trace of sadness. After a long time, she sighed softly.
In fact, she knew very well that this matter was beyond her control. She must marry!
Jing Xuan ran back to Zhangzhi Hall, just as Concubine Xiao returned from Fuyang Hall.
She had just sat down, and before the tea in her hand reached her mouth, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
She frowned.
Which dog servant dared to be so savage?
Just as she was about to lose her temper, she saw Jing Xuan rushing in, wiping away her tears and throwing herself at her side.
"Imperial Mother, Xuan 'er begs you. Please don't let Sister Kong' er marry me. I beg you. Imperial Mother, please talk to Imperial Father."
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Her heart was filled with guilt.
Concubine Xiao's hand holding the teacup trembled, and her fingertips turned white. Because Jing Xuan had suddenly rushed over, some tea spilled on the back of her hand, burning her.
After putting down the teacup, Concubine Xiao caressed Jing Xuan's face and said, "Xuan 'er, Imperial Mother knows you're sad. Don't tell me you want to marry to Qujiang?"
"Of course I don't want to, but if Sister Kong 'er has to marry me, I won't agree no matter what."
"This matter has already been decided."
"The imperial edict hasn't been announced yet, so there's still time. Imperial Mother, please help me. I beg you, please talk to Imperial Father and ask him not to marry Sister Kong 'er."
Concubine Xiao sighed, and her complexion became a little ugly.
She held Jing Xuan's hand and said, "Xuan 'er, your Imperial Father has already conferred Kong Yu the title of Princess Huiwen, which is equivalent to an imperial edict. Even if Imperial Mother went to talk to your Imperial Father now, it would be useless. Be obedient and don't cause trouble."
Jing Xuan shook her head desperately. "No, I don't want to implicate Sister Kong 'er. She treats me so well, I can't just watch her marry in my place and do nothing."
"Why can't you understand? It's your Imperial Father's idea, and Imperial Mother only made a suggestion. Besides, Kong Yu isn't young anymore. It's the Kong family's fortune to have her marry into Qujiang. This time, even she didn't resist, so why are you speaking up for her? "
"No, she doesn't want to. She likes Imperial Brother Jing. Imperial Mother, you know that."
I know!
Of course I know!
Everyone in the palace probably knows!
Before this, everyone believed that the title of 'Princess Rong' could only be Kong Yu.
Concubine Xiao pretended to be in a difficult position. "Silly child, it's impossible for your Imperial Brother to marry her. If he wanted to marry her, he would have done so a long time ago. Perhaps Kong Yu knew this and agreed to this marriage."
"No, Imperial Brother treats Sister Kong 'er so well, so he must like her." Jing Xuan was very resolute.
'Childhood sweethearts grew up together!
Jing Rong treats Kong Yu so well, so he must like her too.
That must be it! '
But in the next moment, she grimaced and held her mother's hand. "Mother, I'm begging you. Please go and talk to Imperial Father."
"This matter has already been decided, and Imperial Mother can't do anything about it. Tomorrow night, a banquet will be held in the palace and the people of Qujiang will be invited. At that time, your Imperial Father will publicly announce that Kong Yu will be married to Qujiang as a princess. Everything has already been decided."
