"Nonsense!" Feng Changgui shouted sternly, "Do you know what you're saying? Marriage is not a trivial matter."
The words had barely left his mouth when Feng Changgui felt a pang of pain in his heart. Before he could even process this change, he began to reprimand Lu Qingyan: "At your current age, marriage is just right. What's there to refuse such a good thing?"
“The eldest brother is already so old and still not married, while the younger brother is still young and not in a hurry at all.”
Looking into those eyes, Feng Changgui saw his own reflection.
So he compromised, saying, "It's not appropriate for me to get involved in this matter. You'd better go and see the Emperor." Whether the Emperor would agree was not something he needed to consider.
Lu Qingyan then went to see the Emperor, who was busy enjoying the favors of his concubines at that time. Upon hearing that the Third Prince Feng Qingqing was requesting an audience, he waved his hand without any politeness: "No, no, I have no time to deal with his affairs."
Lu Qingyan had someone announce it again.
This really angered him, and he immediately issued an imperial edict: "Since 'he,' this Prince Jing, is unwilling to get married now, then he won't have to in the future!"
Those around him could feel the chilling aura emanating from him when he said those words.
Lu Qingyan got the answer she wanted and left satisfied. Regardless of the process, as long as the result was what they expected, no amount of hardship or difficulty mattered.
Lu Qingyan dragged her tired body to see Feng Changgui and told him about what she had found.
Feng Changgui was also somewhat surprised, not expecting his father to agree so quickly this time. What was his father thinking? Did he really not value his third brother at all?
Consort De also received the message from the Emperor soon after. She cursed Lu Qingyan under her breath, "What bad luck!" and then did nothing more.
There's no need to waste time on someone who's already been rejected. Consort De understands the situation clearly; she certainly wouldn't waste unimportant time on Lu Qingyan.
More than three months later, the three bridal sedan chairs went from different directions to the same street, where their newly built palace was located.
To everyone's surprise, Feng Changgui secretly slipped away from the grand banquet, which enraged the Emperor, who ordered that he be found as soon as possible. The Third and Fourth Princes, on the other hand, were without incident. However, the Fourth Prince and his wife were quite young, and the sight of the two little figures standing together was rather amusing.
"You unfilial son! You unfilial son!" The emperor was furious. His body, which had been completely drained, now showed great strength, and he almost smashed a table next to him into pieces.
Consort De advised from the side, "Your Majesty, Prince Chen has been alone for so many years and he still hasn't recovered. He'll get used to it in a few days."
"I think he's been spoiled by you all!" Although the emperor was angry, he still remembered that young Feng Changgui was very obedient.
Now we don’t know who he looks more like as he grows up.
After a moment, the Emperor suddenly looked at Lu Qingyan and said with displeasure, "Third Prince, tell me, does this have anything to do with you?"
Lu Qingyan was completely bewildered, but she knew that it was probably because she and Feng Changgui lived in the same palace that the Emperor asked her if she knew where that person had gone.
Lu Qingyan certainly didn't know, but the Emperor's face clearly showed that he didn't quite believe her and insisted that she give a clear explanation.
Lu Qingyan: What can I do? I'm desperate too!
