In fact, Madam Feng was the second daughter of the Feng family. Besides her two older brothers, she also had a twin sister.
Although the two were born at the same time and look very similar, they were treated very differently at home. Her older sister, Feng Linlang, was pampered by her parents and two older brothers.
As for Princess Qi, Feng Suiyu, you can tell from her name that she was not favored. She was often ignored by her parents and brothers. Where her sister was, she easily became invisible.
Therefore, her parents did not ask for her opinion when she got engaged for the first time, but when they were looking for a husband for her older sister, they were very selective.
They even started looking for promising young men two years in advance.
When it came to her, they hastily arranged for her to marry into an ordinary family. Fortunately, her fiancé lived up to her potential. Within a few years, he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.
Just as the two families were preparing to marry the fiancé after he finished the imperial examination the following year, the King of Qi came to the Feng family to propose marriage.
Without much hesitation or informing Feng Suiyu, Feng's parents broke off her previous engagement and arranged a marriage with the Prince of Qi.
Two months after her sister Feng Linlang's marriage, Prince Qi and Feng Suiyu were married.
"So hasty? The traditional six rites of marriage, from betrothal, asking the name, auspicious date selection, presenting betrothal gifts, to setting the wedding date and the wedding ceremony, usually take at least half a year for more particular families. Is a prince's marriage really this hasty?"
Of course, it was because the old emperor was in poor health that the Prince of Qi was in such a hurry to marry the daughter of a military general.
Moreover, because Feng Suiyu married into the royal family, her older sister Feng Linlang, who had always been superior to her when they were young girls, became very jealous of her and secretly caused her a lot of trouble.
When the Feng family and the Qi Prince's Mansion arranged the marriage, Feng Linlang was not yet married, but she had already reached the stage of setting the wedding date with her future husband's family.
Therefore, Feng Linlang, who wanted to be engaged to the Prince of Qi in place of her younger sister, had no way to break off the engagement.
"I don't believe she never considered having her sister marry in her place!"
She had indeed considered it, but both the Qi Prince's Mansion and the Yongning Earl's Mansion, where Feng Linlang was to marry, were respectable families.
After weighing the pros and cons, their parents still did not agree to their eldest daughter's decision.
Moreover, after Feng Linlang became engaged to Chai Jin, the heir of the Marquis of Yongning, she made numerous private contacts with him in an effort to win his heart.
Therefore, Chai Jin only recognizes Feng Linlang as his wife and would definitely not accept Feng Suiyu.
To this end, without Feng Suiyu's knowledge, her sister dressed her up as herself and lured Chai Jin over, but unfortunately, Chai Jin immediately noticed the difference.
After all, the two had been in close contact, so it wasn't difficult for them to tell.
"It sounds like my sister isn't a good person either!"
Feng Linlang is just too proud. She has always had the best. So, it's understandable that she might be a little upset that her sister is now marrying someone "worse" than her.
To say she liked the Prince of Qi would be an exaggeration. The Prince of Qi only had status; he was far inferior to Chai Jin!
Spoiled and pampered because of her looks, she didn't realize that what she had was always the best, including her husband.
Feng Linlang was later "forced" to marry Chai Jin. Her parents felt that their eldest daughter had married worse than their second daughter and had suffered a great injustice, so they gave her a considerable dowry.
She is no less than Feng Suiyu, who married into the Prince's mansion. If she hadn't married into the Prince's mansion, she would definitely have been much worse off than her sister when she got married in the future.
Feng Suiyu's life as a princess was not as good as Feng Linlang had imagined, and the Qi King's respect for her was only superficial.
King Qi was a womanizer, and not long after their marriage, he felt that his new queen was dull and too serious.
He didn't even consider that she was a young lady from a high-class family, how could she compare to his lovers in the brothel?
The two sisters were both married and rarely saw each other except when they went back to their parents' home. But sometimes, when trouble was brewing, there was no stopping them.
Once, when their mother fell ill, the two sisters returned home to take care of her. While they were resting, the King of Qi, drunk, went into the wrong room and happened to bump into Feng Linlang, who was changing her clothes.
By this time, Feng Linlang had seen things more clearly, and her relationship with her younger sister had gradually improved; in fact, their relationship was even better than before she got married.
"And then what? This bastard might mistake Feng Linlang for Feng Suiyu, right?"
At first glance, one might mistake her for Feng Suiyu, but the two sisters only resemble each other by about 80 or 90 percent, and their temperaments are quite different. Feng Linlang is married and living a good life, so she looks more relaxed and cheerful than her sister who is a princess.
Therefore, King Qi quickly discovered that this was his sister-in-law, Feng Linlang.
Instead of avoiding him, he pretended to be drunk and went up to her, calling out Feng Suiyu's name.
Feng Linlang was much smarter than Feng Suiyu. She could tell from the Prince of Qi's expression that he was pretending to be drunk. She immediately exposed him and told him to get out of there.
That scoundrel King Qi would never agree to that. He claimed he had always wanted to marry Feng Linlang, and that he only wanted to marry Feng Suiyu because the two sisters looked alike.
"Feng Linlang wouldn't believe his nonsense, would she?"
"How could that be?" Feng Linlang didn't believe his nonsense at all. Although she wanted to marry into the Qi Prince's mansion as a concubine before her marriage, that would be a proper marriage.
But not now, this man is already her brother-in-law. How can they face each other if they have an affair?
Feng Linlang was a strong-willed and proud person. She was already married with a harmonious relationship with her husband, so she was naturally unwilling to give herself to him, even if he was a prince.
During the scuffle, King Qi's drunkenness escalated from three parts to five, and he threatened Feng Linlang that if she refused to submit to him, he would call for help and let everyone in her family know that she had seduced him!
Yue Fuguang had a hundred grass mud horses in her heart that she wanted to unleash and attack King Qi in the palace.
Finally, he could only suppress his anger and sigh, "This disgusting thing is worse than a dog! Little Pearl, I don't care when the truth about the former King Qi is exposed, you castrate this guy right now!"
"That's disgusting! He has to be as lecherous as Eunuch Qian today!"
Qian Gui: We were enjoying our melon-eating, and now I'm suddenly involved in this?
【That's right. Although Feng Linlang was frightened by him, she refused to comply to the death. So the Prince of Qi tore off her personal purse and said it was a token of their love.
It was actually a disguised threat, meant to shut Feng Linlang up.
After this incident, Feng Linlang wanted to return to her husband's home the very next day, fearing that she would encounter that beast again.
Later, it seemed that Prince Qi had Feng Linlang completely under his control, like an eagle catching a chick. He harassed her whenever he had the chance, stealing many of her handkerchiefs and hairpins, which made Feng Linlang afraid to go back to her parents' home for a while.
"Ah...this...Does Princess Qi know? Does Chai Jin know?"
Princess Qi had no idea that Chai Jin vaguely sensed something was wrong with his wife's mood, but he couldn't get any information out of her. It was such a shameful thing, even though it wasn't her fault, but people were harsh on women.
If this were to become known, King Qi would at most be described as a womanizer, but Feng Linlang would be tantamount to forcing him to his death!
However, there is one person who knows this very clearly, and that person is Xie Zhiyao.
She had no intention of saving her aunt, nor did she plan to tell her mother about it.
In an effort to please the Prince of Qi, she repeatedly tried to persuade Feng Linlang to submit to her father.
You know, Feng Suiyu would have been better off having a piece of barbecued pork than having such an ungrateful daughter!
