Seeing the Sixth Prince leave with Ren Xifeng in his carriage, the son of the Imperial Censor of the Left was completely dumbfounded. The onlookers also knew that after this incident, the Imperial Censor of the Left's career was about to come to an end. The Sixth Prince rarely got angry, but that didn't mean he wouldn't get angry. Especially after being a regent for more than a year, his scholarly appearance had changed a lot.
On the imperial carriage, Ren Xifeng's heart felt especially uncomfortable. With that man causing a ruckus, the marriage that she did not take to heart at first actually caused her emotions to be in a mess in an instant.
"Thank you, Your Highness." She thanked him in a low voice. She moved her body away, creating a distance between her and Xuan Tianfeng. Some people might have helped you, but that didn't mean what you thought. Ren Xifeng knew that the Sixth Prince was the future Emperor. His status was different from the other princes. She only became more familiar with him because of Miss Heng. They had interacted a few times, but he didn't allow her to think in a certain direction. Because … … she couldn't think, she couldn't climb. "My father drank too much. Big brother sent him back first, which delayed the carriage that came to pick me up." She explained to herself, not even raising her head.
Xuan Tianfeng looked at her. When she moved her body and lowered her head, he already knew what this girl was thinking. He smiled bitterly, "Although we can't be considered close friends, we are still acquaintances. You don't have to be so polite with me. I'm just a regent. Even if I want to go further in the future, I won't let people avoid me when they see me. "
"This subject didn't mean that." Ren Xifeng still wanted to say a few more words, but she also felt that the atmosphere was very oppressive and awkward. She had never been a shy and delicate person. After interacting with the Sixth Prince a few times, the two of them had already established a good relationship. It was really awkward to suddenly become estranged. So she waved her hand, and the originally tense person instantly relaxed. When she opened her mouth again, she returned to her usual self. She said, "I was also angered by the son of the Imperial Censor of the Left. I didn't mean to be estranged from Your Highness."
"That's good." Xuan Tianfeng nodded. "I'm really afraid that I'll have to start getting used to being alone from now on. At least, there's no need to avoid anything between us. You've helped me many times. Last time, if you hadn't entered the palace to report about Consort Mother Yun's matter, I still wouldn't have known what had happened. Then, I would have let down Ninth Brother even more. "He handed a dry handkerchief to Ren Xifeng." Wipe your forehead, it's stained with rain. The son of the Imperial Censor of the Left said that he was going to propose a marriage. Did a lot of people go to the General's residence to propose marriage recently? Is this bothering you? "
Ren Xifeng let out a long sigh and nodded. "My family is preparing for my marriage. I'm already twenty years old, and I can't delay it any longer. But there's no one in your heart. Do you know that feeling? You don't have anyone in your heart, but you have to get married for the sake of getting married. In order to follow the rules of the ages, you can't get married. That kind of feeling is very sad, and you are at a loss about your future life. " As she spoke, confusion appeared in her eyes. Who knew what she was looking at. She just stared blankly at the carriage, without any vitality. "Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I know that Heng's relationship with all of you is very good. I envy her very much, but what I envy is not that she can be familiar with all of you. Rather, I envy that she can spend the rest of her life with the man she loves. Today, I also envy Feng Fendai because Your Highness the Fifth Prince treats her wholeheartedly. You even made her the only promise of her life. There's also Tian Ge, who actually had a fateful encounter thousands of miles away. Furong is also good. I heard that Heng wants to arrange a marriage for her and Bai Ze. It's just that I … … have dragged myself out until I'm twenty years old, yet I still haven't met a good person. "
Ren Xifeng's voice was bitter. She would occasionally laugh, but she didn't look happy at all.
Hearing her words, Xuan Tianfeng felt a fluctuation in his heart, but he couldn't tell what this fluctuation meant. He thought about himself. It seemed that he also had the troubles that Ren Xifeng faced. If there was a day when he inherited the throne, for the sake of the Xuan family and the world, those old officials would advise him to enrich the harem and have more children, right? But what Ren Xifeng said was right. If the person sleeping next to you was not truly in your heart, then what was the point of being a husband and wife?
Not long after, the imperial carriage stopped. The imperial guard driving the carriage turned around and said: "Your Highness, we've arrived at the general's manor."
Xuan Tianfeng nodded and stood up to support him: "It's still raining outside. I'll send you to the manor's entrance."
Ren Xifeng didn't refuse and followed Xuan Tianfeng out of the carriage. He found that the rain seemed to have gotten heavier. Xuan Tianfeng raised his head to look. He reached out and pulled the cloak behind him. Using his arm to support himself, he raised it above his head and covered Ren Xifeng's head, blocking the continuous drizzle.
Ren Xifeng's heart trembled, as if a certain part of her nerves had been tugged. She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing that throbbing feeling in her heart, only then did she walk towards the manor's gates, then turned around: "Thank you, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, it's late, quickly go back!"
Xuan Tianfeng didn't stay any longer. He nodded and returned to the imperial carriage. At this time, the doors of the general's manor opened. He saw Ren Xifeng through the curtain and said to the imperial guard driving the carriage: "Let's go! Back to the palace. "
The gatekeeper of the general's manor held an umbrella for Ren Xifeng. A servant ran over and said apologetically: "Master was too drunk when he returned to the manor. He caused a ruckus at the entrance for quite a while. That's why we were late to pick up Eldest Miss. Eldest Miss, how did you come back? It's all this servant's fault. Eldest Miss, please punish us. "
"A friend gave me a ride. It's not a problem. You were also taking care of my father. We're family, so there's no punishment." She waved her hand and asked: "How is my father?"
The servant replied: "He's already asleep. It's just that madam was angry and quarreled with master. She's fine now."
"What about my older brother and sister-in-law?"
"Eldest Young Master and Young Madam went to see master and returned to their rooms. Everything is fine. Eldest Miss, don't worry."
"En." Ren Xifeng nodded and sent the servant away. The gatekeeper also handed the umbrella to her servant girl. After the two servants left, the servant girl pursed her lips and whispered with a smile: "Eldest Miss said that she couldn't find a good man. From this servant's point of view, Sixth Highness isn't bad! Just now at the entrance of the Li Palace, when he saved Eldest Miss, you didn't see how many young misses from official families were envious! "
"Don't speak nonsense." Ren Xifeng frowned and said coldly: "Sixth Highness is the regent prince. To say something overboard, he might be the future emperor. How can I match up to him? "
"Eldest Miss." The servant girl was somewhat unconvinced, "There's nothing to match up to. Our General's Palace isn't a normal large family. Not to mention a prince, even if she becomes an imperial concubine in the future, it's more than enough!"
"What's so good about being an imperial concubine?" Ren Xifeng asked her, "Look at the imperial concubines in the palace. Which one is truly happy? So many people share a husband. Even if he is favored, so what? Just look at Consort Yun and you'll know. "
The servant girl didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart, wasn't it all like this? How many families could be like the General's Palace, where the master only had one madam in his life! Ai, if Eldest Miss wanted to find someone based on these conditions, it would be too difficult.
It was too difficult. Ren Xifeng also knew it was too difficult. But she was unwilling. Love and liking were selfish. She didn't want to share with others and didn't want to compromise because of her age. If she was the only one in this world, she wouldn't have to care about her family. She would live her life according to her own will. Unfortunately, she wasn't the only one. After all, she still had to care about the General's Palace's face. The dignified General's Palace couldn't keep an old lady at home.
"Will there be anyone coming to propose marriage tomorrow?" She asked the servant girl beside her. Then, without waiting for the servant girl to reply, she said: "Go and tell Mother that it's more or less enough. As long as it's not a scoundrel like that Imperial Censor of the Left's son, nothing else matters. Anyways, it's all strangers. It doesn't make a difference to me. "
Tonight, the last ones to leave the Li Palace were Xuan Tianming and Feng Yu Heng. When they returned to the Imperial Palace Yu, the servants were playing with Little White in the rain. There was a chain around Little White's neck. It wasn't thick and wasn't very sturdy. Little White, who had grown up, only needed to use a bit of strength to break the chain. So, this chain wasn't to prevent it from hurting people. Little White didn't bite people. The chain was just for show. It also added a bit of beauty.
Only Feng Yu Heng didn't understand, "It's the middle of the night and it's raining. Why did you bring the tiger out?"
The servant in the palace helplessly said: "Replying to Princess, this tiger doesn't want to stay in the small courtyard and doesn't want to go into the cage. It won't listen to anyone and just wandered around the front courtyard. This servant thought that it might be waiting for you and His Highness to come back? " As he said this, he let go of the chain in his hand. As expected, Little White shook his head and walked in front of Feng Yu Heng. He rubbed against her leg and was very close to her.
Feng Yu Heng patted his big head and walked with the big tiger to her courtyard. As she walked, she asked: "I originally wanted to leave you in the palace to accompany Imperial Mother. I wanted to come back and ask you if you wanted to."
Little White seemed to understand and gave a low growl. Then, he continued to rub his head against her with a face full of unwillingness.
Xuan Tianming said: "This tiger was brought back by Seventh Brother. It's very intelligent. Let's take it with us. Imperial Mother still has the old man there. He can always make her happy. "
"But I always feel that the two of them aren't suitable for the imperial palace." Feng Yu Heng concluded: "Perhaps Imperial Father was a wise ruler when he was young. He was a good emperor. But now that he's old, he's become more sentimental. In addition, with Imperial Mother's matter, Imperial Father no longer has the heart to manage the court. Rather than this, it's better to completely delegate power and pass on the throne. Then, he can peacefully live his life and coax his wife. Xuan Tianming, why don't you talk to Imperial Father and pass on the throne? Give the throne to Sixth Brother and then leave with us. "
"Leave together?" Xuan Tianming frowned. He really hadn't thought about this problem, "If you bring them with you, then you'll have to suffer. Those two are too torturous." Especially the old man. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"I'm not afraid." His wife actually said that she wasn't afraid, "The more the merrier."
Xuan Tianming gritted his teeth, "Okay, when it's torturous, you'll lead and coax them. When the time comes, you're not allowed to cry."
"But, when can we leave?" She lowered her head and patted Little White. When can we leave?
However, she heard a reply from above her head: "Soon."
