The next day, Feng Qinghuang, under the pretext of buying snacks for her parents and brother, took Rong Qi out to the street again.
Around noon, Rong Qi took her to Mingyue Tower for lunch.
In the private room, Rong Qi was serving food to Feng Qinghuang when he suddenly said, "Jiaojiao, in a few days, the Kingdom of Tianzhu will be coming to celebrate the Emperor's birthday. There will be a banquet in the palace. Moreover, they have another purpose for coming, which is to arrange a marriage alliance."
Feng Qinghuang swallowed the food in her mouth: "Aqi, who are they coming?"
"I heard it was the crown prince of India and another princess, along with envoys."
Feng Qinghuang: "Ah... if it's a marriage alliance between the Crown Prince and a princess, then it has to be a princess! Wouldn't that put my brother in a lot of danger?"
Rong Qi knew that his Jiao Jiao would understand immediately.
Among the royal family, there are three princesses of suitable age, with Rong Xiao being the most suitable. A crown prince paired with a legitimate princess is the perfect match.
Although the other two princesses were of suitable age, they were born out of wedlock and their reputations were not as good as those of the legitimate princesses.
Feng Qinghuang ate faster.
Rong Qi advised her, "Jiaojiao, eat slowly. There are still a few days before they arrive. Besides, they may not necessarily choose Rong Xiao. It could also be their princess who is to be married off."
Feng Qinghuang shook her head: "That won't do either. I have to settle my brother's marriage first, otherwise I won't feel at ease. My brother is such a blockhead, he hasn't made any progress at all. I'm even afraid that Sister Xiao will kick him out."
Upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's words, Rong Qi smiled happily, a rare occurrence for him.
Little Jiaojiao, she really says everything, belittling her own brother to the point of being worthless.
After the two finished their meal, Rong Qi escorted Feng Qinghuang home and left. It was their family matter, and he shouldn't interfere. If it were the Emperor, he might be able to say a few words.
After Feng Qinghuang returned home, she ran to her brother's courtyard.
"Brother, brother, where are you?"
Feng Qingyun came out of the room: "Little Huang'er, what's wrong? Why are you shouting?"
After catching her breath, Feng Qinghuang pulled Feng Qingyun aside and asked, "Brother, how are things going between you and Sister Xiao?"
"That's great, what's wrong?"
Feng Qinghuang: "Aqi told me that in a few days, envoys from the Kingdom of Tianzhu will come to offer birthday wishes, but they also want to establish a marriage alliance with our Qinglong Kingdom! It's the Crown Prince and Princess who are coming. If it's the Crown Prince who's going to establish a marriage alliance, who do you think is coming to establish a marriage alliance?!"
Feng Qingyun: "Then perhaps it's a princess coming for a political marriage?"
"Oh dear, brother, how can you be so carefree? What if the crown prince also wants to marry into a foreign land? In that case, Sister Xiao would be the most suitable candidate."
After thinking for a moment, Feng Qingyun realized the seriousness of the matter, so the two siblings went hand in hand to the courtyard of the Feng King and his wife.
"Father, Mother..."
Murong Wan put down her teacup: "What's wrong, Huang'er?"
"My brother said."
Feng Qinghuang plopped down next to her mother and ate the dried fruit on the table.
Feng Qingyun then repeated what her younger sister had just said to her parents.
After listening, Murong Wan and Feng Qingcang both looked at Feng Qingyun.
Murong Wan: "Yun'er, are you sure that you won't marry anyone but Xiao'er?"
Feng Qingyun nodded: "Father and Mother, Xiao'er and I have already made a vow of eternal love and pledged our lives to each other. I, Feng Qingyun, will not marry anyone but Rong Xiao."
Murong Wan and Feng Qingcang exchanged a glance.
Murong Wan: "Your father can't bring this up. I'll go to the palace early tomorrow morning to sound out the Empress's opinion. You should also find time to speak with Princess Xiao."
"Your son thanks you, Mother."
Murong Wan: "As long as you treat that child well afterward, your mother's journey will not have been in vain. The Emperor and Empress dote on this daughter the most."
Feng Qingyun nodded: "Mother, rest assured, I will do my utmost to treat Xiao'er well for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing his son's words, Feng Qingcang patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.
The men of the Feng family must treat their wives well.
After the family finished lunch, Feng Qinghuang and Feng Qingyun returned to Luoyue Pavilion.
Feng Qinghuang: "Brother, I just sent someone to deliver a message. Sister Xiao will be here soon. You must seize the opportunity to make things clear."
Oh dear, her brother has really put her through so much trouble; being his sister is so difficult.
Feng Qingyun chuckled and patted her little head: "Little sister is so good. Big brother will take care of it, don't worry."
Feng Qinghuang nodded in satisfaction.
If her brother doesn't take action soon, she's going to give up on him. Humph, he's too slow.
Why can't you be like her, observe carefully, and strike first? Otherwise, with Aqi's personality, who knows when she'll take the bait!
Besides, Sister Xiao is a girl, so it's not appropriate for Brother Xiao to be the one to say the words "I want to marry you" first.
Then she really has to despise her brother Feng Qingyun.
