Consort Yun had thought that this marriage would be a little difficult, but what she thought the most was that Xuan Tianhua would be unhappy, but she never thought that at this critical point, it was Feng Xiangrong who came to tell her that she would not marry, how was this possible?
She suspected that she heard wrongly, looking at Xiangrong in a daze, she asked: "What did you say? Say it again! "
Xiangrong repeated: "Your Highness, please forgive me, Xiangrong cannot marry His Highness the Seventh Prince, cannot marry into Chun Palace."
"Why?" Consort Yun understood this time, but at the same time, she was even more confused, "Third girl, didn't you like Hua-er since you were young? I know all these, why do you say that you will not marry? Your mother has already agreed, and no one else has any objections. This marriage is already set in stone. What are you doing? "
Consort Yun reached out to pull Xiangrong up as she spoke, but Xiangrong refused stubbornly, even kowtowing three times to Consort Yun, saying stubbornly: "Xiangrong really cannot marry, His Highness the Seventh Prince is such a good person, Xiangrong does not want to lie to him, does not want to ruin his life."
Consort Yun frowned and looked over, hearing the hidden meaning in Xiangrong's words, she was no longer in a hurry to ask, waiting for Xiangrong to continue speaking.
Xiangrong gritted her teeth, speaking again with great determination: "Your Highness, Xiangrong's feelings for His Highness the Seventh Prince are things from when I was young. At that time, I was young and ignorant, thinking that liking him was love, thinking that I would marry him if I had a good impression of him, but only now do I understand, I do not love His Highness the Seventh Prince at all, I do not have such deep feelings for him. Of course, it is not important whether there are feelings between a man and a woman, but that is His Highness the Seventh Prince! He is worthy of a better woman, he can totally find someone who loves him wholeheartedly. And Xiangrong … … not only do I not love His Highness the Seventh Prince, I still have someone else in my heart … … "
Xiangrong threw caution to the wind, saying this to Consort Yun. No matter how tolerant Consort Yun was and how well she treated her, she couldn't tolerate deceiving a prince's feelings and having someone else in her heart. She knew that once Consort Yun got angry, even if she was Feng Yu Heng's sister, she would probably be executed by Consort Yun.
After Xiang Rong said this, she lowered her head and closed her eyes tightly. Her heart was in so much pain that it felt as though it was being cut by a knife. Only the heavens knew how deep her feelings for the seventh prince were. It was a love that seeped into her bones and was more important than her life. But now, she had chosen to use such a method to personally sever this marriage. If possible, she would rather die immediately.
Xiang Rong suddenly felt a bit of regret because she thought of dying. How could she be so stupid? If she died, His Highness the Seventh Prince would not need to marry her. Why did he have to use such a method? But when he thought about it again, he smiled bitterly in his heart. If she died, His Highness wouldn't use her as an excuse to not marry for the rest of his life, right? That person … she actually knew him quite well.
For a while, her mind was filled with thoughts. Consort Yun, who was standing in front of her, did not speak for a long time. Xiang Rong did not know how much time had passed. Finally, Consort Yun spoke up again, asking her: "It's old fourth?"
She was stunned then reacted. The commotion caused by the fourth prince yesterday, Consort Yun had also taken it to heart. She did not want to drag anyone down with her, but since the conversation had reached this point, it was not good for her to cover up her lie. If she did not admit that it was the fourth prince, Consort Yun would ask who that person was. Where would she find a scapegoat?
Helpless, she could only nod and admit: "Yes."
Consort Yun was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her. Flicking her sleeve, she walked away, not even wanting to pay attention to Feng Xiang Rong. Intuition told her that there was definitely something going on here. It was not as simple as what Feng Xiang Rong said. But she was angry, angry that these young people kept everything to themselves and used their own self-righteous methods to solve it. They did not consider the feelings of others at all.
She tried her best to adjust her emotions. When she calmed down a little, she turned around and asked Feng Xiang Rong: "Have you thought it through? Once these words are said, there is no reason to take them back. Once this One stops thinking about promoting the marriage, it will not be possible to do it again in the future! Giving up Hua-er, are you willing? "
When she spoke, she referred to herself as This One. Xiang Rong felt a chill in her heart. She knew, no matter what, the water that was spilled could not be taken back. So she sighed in her heart, but still nodded: "This humble girl has thought it through."
"Good! Good! Good! " Consort Yun said the word 'good' three times in a row. Just like when she first met Feng Yu Heng, she also said the word 'good' three times in a row. But now was not the same as back then. These three times' good 'had ruined the marriage between Xiang Rong and Xuan Tianhua. "You can go!" She waved her hand and was no longer as agitated as before, "Go to the courtyard and kneel. Since you teased This One, This One will consider that you are Royal Consort Yu's younger sister and will spare your life for now. But you will kneel for three days and three nights. This will be your punishment for … … not being loyal to Hua-er. The marriage between the two of you, will be done here! "
Xiang Rong kowtowed three times to Consort Yun and silently left the room, kneeling in the courtyard outside. This kind of punishment was the lightest for her. Xiang Rong twitched the corner of her lips and really wanted to smile. But tears kept flowing out of her eyes and could not be stopped.
From the day she first met Xuan Tianhua, until today, she had walked this path for four years. Four years! Just a little bit more and she would have succeeded. She would have been able to marry into Chun Palace under everyone's envious gazes. She knew that Xuan Tianhua did not love her, but she also knew that Xuan Tianhua would definitely treat her well. That kind of treatment would not be inferior to any husband who loved his wife deeply. She could live a happy and worry-free life.
She really wanted that kind of life! But she could not, she really could not! She could not clearly know that the marriage between the two of them was a disaster and still pretend not to know and forcefully marry over. It would be fine if this retribution happened to her, but if it happened to Xuan Tianhua, she would not be able to forgive herself in this life.
So, all of this was worth it, right?
Xiang Rong comforted herself like this. As long as that person could live a peaceful life, what did it matter if she lived well or not? It was just that she would be alone for the rest of her life, or find an ordinary person to marry. It was also not bad to be by her mother's side. As a child, she should be filial to her mother.
She knelt in Consort Yun's courtyard, thinking about some random things in her mind. She kept using all kinds of hypotheses to comfort and numb herself. But she did not know that when she was kneeling here, Qian Fengshou had already found Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming, telling them the truth about the disaster.
It was not that Qian Fengshou did not keep his word, it was just that Feng Xiangrong's weight was too light, in the end, he had to listen to Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng's orders, in the end, his son was working under Xuan Tianming, so he thought about it, he should not blindly think about matching Feng Xiangrong, this matter could not be told to Imperial Concubine Yun first, but he could not hide anything from these two.
Feng Yu Heng had already heard that Xiang Rong was kneeling in Consort Yun's courtyard, but she did not know why. An Shi also heard about this. Her heart ached and she was worried about her daughter, but she did not dare to rush to Consort Yun's courtyard to ask, so she could only be anxious. Now that they heard Qian Fengshou's report, the husband and wife finally understood the whole story.
Xuan Tianming did not express his opinion on this matter. He only said to Qian Fengshou: "Other than the two of us, do not mention this matter to anyone else. Go back to Yu Zhou. There is nothing for you to do here. "After sending Qian Fengshou away, he asked his wife:" What do you think about this matter? "
Feng Yu Heng smiled bitterly, "Xiang Rong is a child who likes to go to extremes. If she knows that this marriage with Seventh Brother is not fated, she will definitely go to Imperial Concubine Mother and take the initiative to break off the engagement."
Xuan Tianming nodded and finally expressed his opinion: "This is also good. I did not think highly of this marriage in the first place. It's fine if it does not work out. As for Xiang Rong, we will help her find a good family in the future. It will not be to the extent that she will be alone for the rest of her life without Seventh Brother. "
Feng Yu Heng also smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? She had already pushed herself to the edge, so who could help her? Moreover … … "She had a faint worry on her face," Is it a disaster? Where is the disaster? "
"You also feel that Seventh Brother's actions are strange this time, right?" Xuan Tianming finally asked her this, "On the way here, you advised me not to think too much. But in reality, you have thought quite a lot, right? Heng Heng, if the disaster is caused by the marriage, then I can breathe a sigh of relief. With two people living together, how much disaster can there be? But I am afraid that this disaster is caused by the war. Seventh Brother took my military tally, was it really just to help me lead the soldiers to the East border? Sending me to Ji 'an County, was it really just to help him ask for a marriage? "
Xuan Tianming's words entered Feng Yu Heng's heart one by one, finally disturbing her emotions that she had forced herself to calm down. Once the calm surface of the lake had waves, these waves could not be stopped. Wave after wave swept over, finally surging violently. It was difficult to return to the beginning.
She was a little frustrated. She walked around a few times on the spot and finally opened her mouth to speak: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, go to the East first! Don't worry, I will protect Imperial Concubine Mother. There will not be any accidents. I will persuade her to return to the capital as soon as possible. If she encounters any danger on the way, I will directly send her into the space. Nothing will go wrong. "
Xuan Tianming nodded, "That is the only way. I am really a little anxious to go to the East. I keep feeling that something big is going to happen. If I don't go, I will not feel at ease. "
On this side, Xuan Tianming and his wife were discussing the matter of going to the East border after the Mid-Autumn Festival. On the other side, the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi came to the Imperial Daughter's Manor as a guest again. But the moment he entered the manor, he heard about Xiangrong kneeling in Consort Yun's courtyard. Consort Yun's side also spread news, saying that the marriage between the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua and Feng family's Third Miss Feng Xiangrong was canceled. After Third Miss Feng kneeled in her courtyard for three days and three nights, no one was allowed to mention this matter again.
This news caused Xuan Tianyi to be very shocked. But immediately after that, another piece of news from Consort Yun's side made him a little excited. Feng family's Third Miss personally admitted that the person she wanted to marry the most was the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi. The matter with the Seventh Prince was just a misunderstanding.
Xuan Tianyi rubbed his hands together and felt his blood boil! Had that girl finally been enlightened? She finally understood who was in her heart? That's great! That's really great!
He grabbed the attendant beside him and said anxiously: "Go quickly! Go quickly and bring that picture of mandarin ducks that I embroidered last night. I originally wanted to send it over as a congratulatory gift when she married Old Seventh. Who knew, who knew, who knew, in the end, it was still me who used it! Go quickly and bring it over. Consort Yun is here, with her as a witness, we will set this marriage! "
As Xuan Tianyi wished, that picture of mandarin ducks was kept by Consort Yun on behalf of Feng Xiangrong. She even told Xuan Tianyi: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Imperial Daughter's Manor will host a banquet. Old Fourth, come over too! Didn't you want This One to make the decision for you? While This One is here, I will make the decision for you! "
