He smiled and said, "It takes more than ten days to travel from the capital to the prince's fiefdom. The prince has great respect for my father. We had many conversations along the way and he even gave me a sword as a parting gift."
As he spoke, he looked at the sword that was placed on the table not far away.
That was the sword he always carried with him, but he took it off because he was going to see the Holy Passenger.
Feng Changye also glanced at the sword and said with a smile, "Oh, then, Second Brother, do you know that every time you talk with the prince, the little princess eavesdrops in the carriage?"
“…” Zhu Longyuan was dumbfounded again.
He doesn't know.
He and the prince had similar interests and were having a great time chatting. He was so focused on talking to the prince that he had no idea that someone was eavesdropping in the carriage hidden by the curtains.
Feng Changye pointed at the sword and said, "Second brother, do you know that the sword is not Sixth Uncle's, but a treasure passed down from the princess's ancestors. The princess gave it to the young princess a long time ago?"
“…” Zhu Longyuan was even more dumbfounded.
He doesn't know, he really doesn't know.
Not only him, but other members of the Zhu family including Zhu Wuhuan were also dumbfounded!
They all looked at the sword that Zhu Longyuan had worn for seven years!
So this isn't a reward from Prince Anyang to the younger generation, but a gift from the little princess to her big brother?
What is this called? A token of love?
Everyone's gossiping eyes were focused on Zhu Longyuan again.
Zhu Longyuan: "..."
He rubbed his head in panic, repeatedly saying, "Your Majesty, this, this, this... I don't know! When the prince gave me the sword, he didn't say it was from the little princess. He just said he liked me and let me take it! I really don't know anything!"
Seeing him scratching his head anxiously, Feng Changye smiled.
He signaled Zhu Longyuan to calm down.
He said, "The little princess didn't want to let you know, because you were already engaged to Song Anqiao at that time, but Song Anqiao was in mourning for her grandfather, so you two didn't get married."
He sighed, "The young princess is a daughter of heaven, well-educated. Even if she's attracted to you, her handsome, imposing, and powerful older brother, she wouldn't do something like bullying the Song family into giving you up. When she learned you were engaged, she said nothing, only asking her father to give you her own sword. She said, 'Swords are given to heroes, and giving this sword to you is a way of fulfilling her own unrequited love."
Zhu Longyuan was really dumbfounded now.
How could this happen?
Zhu's family also looked at each other in silence.
They all felt a little sorry for the little princess.
The main thing was that he was too sensible and polite. He silently loved her and gave her the sword without saying a word to anyone else, so as not to cause any trouble or distress to Zhu Longyuan...
What a sensible girl!
Old Madam Zhu glanced at her second son who was standing there in a daze, then looked up at Feng Changye.
"Your Majesty, you mentioned this matter today. Could it be..."
Feng Changye looked at her with a smile and nodded.
He said.
"When I spoke to the Zhu family about the arranged marriage, I hadn't even considered the young princess from the Sixth Uncle's family. It was only after receiving a letter from the Sixth Uncle that I learned that the young princess was in love with my second brother."
"Sixth Uncle said in the letter that he accidentally learned about Song Anqiao's affairs in his fiefdom, and he wanted me to ask Second Brother on their behalf if he was willing to marry into the Anyang Palace."
He looked at Zhu Longyuan and smiled, "So today, I came to ask Second Brother, what do you mean?"
Zhu Longyuan is now very confused and his mood is extremely complicated.
Suddenly, a little girl who I met seven years ago appeared and said that she had been in love with him for seven years. This...
It really didn't make him feel real at all.
It was like a dream. Hazy and blurry.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn't want to get married. He already had a wife and children and was not worthy of the innocent little princess. He should not ruin her.
But when the words reached his throat, he thought again, since the emperor came to speak personally about this matter, then the little princess must have not married until now. Perhaps she has always been thinking about him...
If he gets married, he will delay her.
If I don't marry her, won't that waste her time?
He suddenly thought of a question, "Your Majesty, how old is the little princess this year?"
Feng Changye said, "Twenty-one."
At the age of fourteen, love begins to stir.
She has been waiting for seven years and still hasn't gotten married.
Zhu Longyuan pursed his lips and said, "If I don't marry, the little princess..."
Feng Changye laughed and said, "Are you afraid that she will never marry? Second brother, relax. A girl from our royal family will not force you to compromise by saying she will never marry."
He said, "The Sixth Prince said in the letter that if you marry, the little princess will marry. She doesn't mind that you have a wife or a legitimate son. It just so happens that your legitimate son is only six months old and doesn't recognize anyone. As long as she treats your legitimate son sincerely, she can make a good mother and son with him."
He changed the subject again, "And if you insist on not marrying her, she won't force you. She also asked me to tell you not to feel any psychological burden. She hasn't married yet not just because she's waiting for you. It's because she wasn't in good health for the past two years and has been recuperating that she's been delayed."
Old Madam Zhu didn’t know whether Zhu Longyuan was moved or not.
But Madam Zhu herself was a little tempted.
It was an established fact that Song Anqiao would become Long Yuan's concubine, and Long Yuan would marry her sooner or later.
In this case, now that they have a princess who likes Long Yuan and is well-educated, open-minded and generous, why should the Zhu family give up on the princess and wait a few years to slowly and painstakingly look for another daughter-in-law?
She looked at Zhu Longyuan expectantly, "Second brother..."
Zhu Longyuan glanced sideways at his mother.
Zhu Xuanyuan also patted his shoulder. "Second brother, think about it carefully. This may be fate destined by heaven. The princess happened to be in poor health, so she has not married yet. And you happened to be widowed at this time, so you can marry her. See, isn't it fate?"
Zhu Chunjun also said, "Second brother, you will eventually have to marry a wife. You can't live with a concubine for the rest of your life. Instead of marrying someone you don't know, why not marry the princess? If you feel that the princess has been wronged, then you should be twice as good to her in the future."
Zhu Wuhuan also interrupted with a smile, "Second brother, if someone truly loves you, why would she consider whether she feels wronged or not? She has always known about you and Song Anqiao, but she still truly loves you. So she has never thought that marrying you would be a grievance."
She said slowly, "After all, for a woman, being with the one she loves is the greatest happiness."
When Feng Changye heard this, he glanced at Zhu Wuhuan dimly.
fart.
Aren't you a woman? But your greatest joy is obviously being a queen and shopping couples. Have you ever considered being happily together with the person you like?
You never intended to love someone properly!
No one knows how frustrated Feng Changye is.
Everyone is now persuading Zhu Longyuan.
Poor Zhu Longyuan was persuaded by his family one after another, and suddenly he felt overwhelmed and worried, holding his head.
Zhu Wuhuan suddenly asked, "What is this title of Princess?"
Let her see if this little princess has left any trace in history. Why does she seem to have no impression of this Prince Anyang...
