"Mingyu, let me explain!" Hongli said, pushing aside Zixiao who was blocking his way, when he saw that Mingyu was finally willing to come out to meet him.
"It is a fact that Ulanara Xueying is engaged to Hongli. I wonder how Fourth Prince explains this?" Mingyu asked, staring at Hongli. When she first learned of this news, she felt as if she had been deceived by Hongli. During her time at the Yuanmingyuan, Ulanara Xueying had already been secretly having an affair with Hongli?
“I’ve been away for a while and had no idea that Father had proposed to her. Mingyu, I just got back and only just found out about this myself,” Hongli said loudly to Mingyu.
Mingyu's eyes were already misty. Looking at Hongli's sincere face, she was also moved and said, "Are you saying that your father insists that you marry her as a concubine?"
Hongli was speechless at Mingyu's words. Lanqin had already told Hongli why the Fourth Prince went to propose marriage to the Ulanara family, all because of the incident that happened in Jinan Prefecture. Moreover, Hongzhou came specifically to confirm the matter with Lanqin.
"I!" Hongli found his words inadequate, even incapable of explaining. The feelings and emotions he had for that woman couldn't be explained in a single sentence.
"Speechless now! Since that's the case, why don't we call off our marriage? You can marry her as your principal wife, so I won't be an eyesore between you two!" Mingyu said, feeling a sharp pain in her heart as she saw Hongli's expression.
"Nonsense!" Fucha Solon shouted from behind Mingyu.
"Hongli greets Marquis Yongping!" Hongli bowed to Mingyu's father, Fucha Solon.
"Fourth Prince, no need for formalities. Mingyu, the Fourth Prince has just returned. Why are you only arguing with him? Hurry up and go inside and have a good talk with him," Fucha Suolun reprimanded sternly.
"Uncle, please don't blame Mingyu. It was Hongli who made her angry," Hongli said quickly, unable to bear seeing Mingyu being blamed.
Mingyu's expression calmed down a bit, and she followed her father into the house. The three of them then sat down according to their status as host and guest.
"Fourth Prince, my daughter is truly unruly! Please don't laugh at me, Fourth Prince," Fucha Solon said, after instructing his servants to serve Hongli tea. He then clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Ah, Your Excellency is too modest. Mingyu is the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I, Hongli, must marry her in this lifetime!" Hongli said.
Upon hearing this, Mingyu's expression softened slightly. She lowered her head and remained silent.
Fucha Suolun stroked his goatee and smiled slightly, saying, "The Fourth Prince's affection for my daughter is truly an honor! As for the princess from the Duke of Ying's mansion, since Prince Yong has already proposed marriage for the Fourth Prince, she must have given this matter considerable thought. Mingyu, how has your father taught you since you were little? Do you really expect the Fourth Prince to only have you as his principal wife?"
After hearing her father's words, Fucha Mingyu felt somewhat calmer. She understood that the man she was to marry was of royal blood, and that there would inevitably be other concubines in the future. Thinking of this, she regretted even more the words she had just uttered.
"Father, Mingyu should go back to her room first. Please entertain the Fourth Prince properly on Mingyu's behalf!" Fucha Mingyu stood up and said.
"Yes, Zixiao, you help the princess back first," Fucha Suolun waved his hand and said.
"Mingyu, you have to believe me, I really didn't know anything. If I had known, I would never have let Father propose marriage." Hongli couldn't help but say to Mingyu's retreating figure.
"Fourth Prince! Don't take my daughter's words seriously. It was all my fault for not disciplining her properly. It is a great blessing for the Fucha family that my daughter can marry into the family!" Fucha Solon said with a satisfied smile when he saw how much Hongli cared about Mingyu.
