Chapter 730 Anger (3)
If Pei Lang was looking for her, it must be something very important.
Things in the world are full of coincidences. What Shen Miao didn't know was that the royal family's intention to arrange a marriage for her had implicated a whole group of people. While Shen Xin, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Qiu were family members, and they worked tirelessly to help, others also rushed in. For example, Luo Ling's sincere feelings, Su Mingfeng's unexpected proposal, and Feng Zixian's righteous support.
There are countless connections in the world. Those connections are like the crystal silk threads spit out by spiders. They are placed in their respective positions. One day, they crisscross and form a fine and dense web, which constitutes the most surprising and incredible coincidence in the world.
Princess Rongxin entered the palace.
She wasn't in good health, having grown increasingly thinner in recent years. She only visited the palace a few times a year, but today she seemed anxious. The maid was about to report, but Princess Rongxin waved her hand and said, "I didn't bring a note. I have something important to discuss with my brother, so there's no need to report."
The guards at the palace gate dared not stop them. Although Princess Rongxin rarely appeared in public these days, she was still the late emperor's favorite daughter, and she had a strong personality. They knew they couldn't afford to offend her, as they would suffer the consequences in the future. So they let her pass.
The palace maid wanted to find a sedan chair for Princess Rongxin, but Princess Rongxin refused. She said, "It would be inconvenient to take the small path. Please support me and I will walk slowly."
Princess Rongxin was also anxious. She didn't care about court affairs, and she stayed in her own princess mansion every day. If she hadn't happened to pass by the courtyard and heard the servants talking about Shen Miao, she would have been unaware that the royal family intended to marry Shen Miao to the crown prince. Not to mention Xie Jingxing, Princess Rongxin also wanted to protect Shen Miao. Princess Rongxin herself admired Shen Miao very much. As a member of the royal family, Princess Rongxin knew that a woman's marriage might appear glorious on the surface, but it didn't necessarily mean she was truly happy. Moreover, Shen Miao was not a woman who was keen on wealth and glory, so these things were even more unnecessary for her. If she really married into the Eastern Palace, Shen Miao would never be happy for the rest of her life.
Princess Rongxin was in a hurry to find Emperor Wenhui, hoping to change her brother's mind, so she took a shortcut.
Shen Miao arrived at a secluded pavilion.
The pavilion was nestled in the woods, backed by a long corridor. There were several rooms in the corridor, making it convenient for hiding. Pei Lang walked out of that room.
The young eunuch was keeping watch outside for the two of them. Shen Miao nodded to Pei Lang as a courtesy and asked, "Mr. Pei, what's the important matter you want to discuss here?"
"Prince Ding has sealed off his residence, so there's no way to send you a message." Pei Lang said, "It was Prince Ding who suggested the Crown Prince marry you."
Shen Miao raised her eyebrows. Seeing that she didn't look surprised, Pei Lang asked, "You know?"
"I guessed it was his handiwork." Shen Miao said calmly, "How could the prince think of me for no reason?"
Pei Lang was somewhat puzzled by Shen Miao's tone. It sounded as if she was very familiar with the Crown Prince and Fu Xiuyi. However, Shen Miao was a girl who had never had the opportunity to interact with the princes on a daily basis. How could she understand their personalities? Even Shen Xin might not be as familiar with them as Shen Miao.
This deserted garden had been haunted in the past, and on weekdays, almost no one came. Therefore, Pei Lang was not worried about people passing by. He frowned and asked, "What are your plans for getting married?"
Shen Miao was a little surprised. Pei Lang had always been a person who only analyzed the pros and cons without bringing in personal emotions. It was rare for him to ask her about her marriage. After all, what she thought about this marriage was irrelevant to the overall situation.
