Concubine Yun had thought that this marriage would be difficult, but what she thought about most was that Xuan Tianhua would not be happy about it. However, she never expected that at this critical juncture, Feng Xiangrong would come and tell her that she would not marry him. How could this be possible?
She suspected that she had heard it wrongly, and stared at Xiangrong blankly and asked, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Xiangrong then repeated, "Please forgive me, Madam. Xiangrong cannot marry the Seventh Prince, and cannot marry into Prince Chun's mansion."
"Why?" Yun Fei understood this time, but at the same time she was even more confused. "Third girl, haven't you liked Hua'er since you were a child? I know all this, why do you say you don't want to marry? Your mother has already agreed, and everyone has no objection. This marriage is already a done deal, what are you doing?"
Concubine Yun was about to reach out to pull Xiangrong up, but Xiangrong stubbornly refused and kowtowed three times to Concubine Yun, saying stubbornly: "Xiangrong really can't marry. The Seventh Prince is such a good man. Xiangrong doesn't want to lie to him and ruin his life."
Yun Fei frowned and heard that Xiangrong had something else in his words, so she stopped asking and waited for Xiangrong to continue.
Xiangrong gritted her teeth and spoke again with great determination, "My queen, Xiangrong's feelings for the Seventh Prince were all from childhood. At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I thought that liking was love, and that I had to marry him if I had a crush on him. But it was not until now that I realized that I did not love the Seventh Prince at all and did not have such deep feelings for him. Of course, it is not important whether men and women have feelings for each other nowadays, but that is the Seventh Prince! He deserves a better woman, and he can find someone who loves him wholeheartedly. And Xiangrong... not only do I not love the Seventh Prince, I have someone else in my heart..."
Xiangrong was willing to sacrifice her life and said such words to Concubine Yun. To deceive a prince and have someone else in her heart was something that Concubine Yun could not tolerate, no matter how tolerant and well she treated her. She knew that once Concubine Yun got angry, even if she was Feng Yuheng's sister, she would most likely be executed by Concubine Yun.
After Xiangrong finished speaking, she lowered her head deeply, closed her eyes, and felt a pain in her heart. God knows how deep her feelings for the Seventh Prince are. It is a love that has penetrated into her bones and is more important than her life. But now, she chose to cut off this marriage with her own hands in this way. If possible, she would rather die immediately.
Xiangrong suddenly felt a little regretful because she thought about death. How could she be so stupid? If she died, the Seventh Prince would not have to marry her, so why would he use such a method? But thinking about it again, she smiled bitterly. If she died, would the Seventh Prince use her as an excuse to never marry again? That person...she actually knew him quite well.
For a moment, she was filled with thoughts, and Concubine Yun, who was standing in front of her, remained silent for a long time. Xiangrong couldn't tell how long it had been before Concubine Yun finally spoke again, but she asked her, "Is it the fourth child?"
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that Concubine Yun had taken the Fourth Prince's incident yesterday to heart. She hadn't intended to drag anyone into this, but now that the topic had come to this, she couldn't justify her lie. If she didn't admit that it was the Fourth Prince, and Concubine Yun asked who that person was, where would she find a scapegoat?
Helplessly, she could only nod and acknowledge, "Yes."
Concubine Yun was so angry that she was about to smoke. She walked away with a flick of her sleeves, not wanting to pay any attention to Feng Xiangrong. Her intuition told her that there must be something wrong here, and it was not just as simple as Feng Xiangrong said, but she was still angry. She was angry that these young people kept everything to themselves and solved it in their own self-righteous way without considering other people's feelings at all.
She tried hard to regulate her emotions until she calmed down a little, then she turned around and asked Xiang Fengxiangrong: "Have you thought it through? Once you say this, there is no reason to take it back. Once I give up the idea of facilitating a marriage, it will never come up again in the future! Are you willing to give up Hua'er?"
When she spoke, she called herself "this palace", which made Xiangrong feel cold. She knew that no matter what, the water that had been poured out could never be taken back. So she sighed in her heart, but still nodded: "I have made up my mind."
"Good! Good! Good!" Concubine Yun said three good words in a row, just like she had used three good words in a row when she first met Feng Yuheng. However, things are different now. These three good words ruined Xiangrong and Xuan Tianhua's marriage in this life. "Go!" She waved her hand, no longer as excited as before, "Go to the yard and kneel down. You have teased me. I will spare your life because you are the sister of Princess Yu. But you must kneel down for three days and three nights. This is the punishment for your... infidelity to Hua'er. Your marriage is over!"
Xiangrong kowtowed to Yun Fei three more times, quietly left the room, and knelt in the yard outside. This kind of punishment was the lightest for her. Xiangrong pulled the corners of her lips and wanted to smile, but tears kept bursting out of her eyes and she couldn't stop them.
From the day she first met Xuan Tianhua until today, she has walked this road for four years, four years! She was just a little bit away from success, and she could marry into Prince Chun's mansion in the eyes of everyone's envy. She knew that Xuan Tianhua didn't love her, but she also knew that Xuan Tianhua would definitely treat her well, and that kind of goodness would not be inferior to any husband who deeply loves his wife, and she could live a happy and worry-free life.
How she wanted that kind of life! But no, it really couldn't be possible! She couldn't pretend not to know and force herself into marriage knowing that their union was a fate of disaster. It would be fine if this retribution came upon herself, but if it came upon Xuan Tianhua, she would never forgive herself in her life.
So, it was all worth it, right?
Xiangrong comforted himself like this, as long as that person could live a peaceful life, what did it matter whether she lived a good life or not? It was nothing more than being alone in this life, or finding an ordinary person to marry and being with her mother all the time would also be good. As a child, you should also show some filial piety.
She knelt in Concubine Yun's courtyard, thinking about random things in her mind, constantly comforting and numb herself with various hypothetical possibilities. However, she didn't know that while she was kneeling here, Qian Fengshou had already found Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming, and told them the truth about the disaster.
It's not that Qian Fengshou didn't keep his word, it's just that Feng Xiangrong's importance was too insignificant. After all, he had to obey Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. After all, his son was working under Xuan Tianming. So after thinking about it, he felt that he shouldn't just think about being with Feng Xiangrong. He could not tell Concubine Yun about this for the time being, but he couldn't hide it from these two.
Feng Yuheng had heard that Xiangrong knelt in Concubine Yun's courtyard, but she didn't know why. An Shi also heard about this. She felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't dare to rush to Concubine Yun's courtyard to ask. She could only worry. After listening to Qian Fengshou's report, the couple finally understood the whole story.
Xuan Tianming did not express his opinion on the matter, but just said to Qian Fengshou: "Except for the two of us, this matter cannot be told to anyone else. You can go back to Yuzhou, there is nothing for you to do here." After sending Qian Fengshou away, he asked his wife: "What do you think about this matter?"
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly, "Xiang Rong is a child who loves to dwell on trivial matters. If she knew that her marriage with Seventh Brother was not compatible, she would definitely go to her mother to cancel the engagement."
Xuan Tianming nodded and finally expressed his opinion: "That's fine. I didn't think much of this marriage to begin with. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. As for Xiangrong, we can help her find a good family in the future. At least she won't be lonely for the rest of her life without Seventh Brother."
Feng Yuheng also smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? She has done something so bad herself, who can help her? What's more..." She showed a hint of worry on her face, "Is it the cause of the disaster? Where is the disaster?"
"You also think that Seventh Brother's behavior is strange, right?" Xuan Tianming finally asked her this question. "You advised me not to think too much along the way, but in fact you think a lot, right? Hengheng, if it is a disaster caused by the marriage, then I can breathe a sigh of relief. Living together as two people, how much more disaster can there be? But I am afraid that this disaster is caused by the war. Did Seventh Brother take my military token just to help me lead the soldiers to the East Border first? Did he send me to Ji'an County just to ask for marriage for him?"
Xuan Tianming's words went into Feng Yuheng's heart one by one, and finally disturbed her originally calm mood. Once the calm lake surface was disturbed, the waves could not be stopped, and they came one after another, finally surging and surging, and it was difficult to return to the beginning. ℃≡℃≡℃≡阁℃≡
She was a little irritable, and turned around a few times, and finally said: "Tomorrow is the moonlit night, after the moonlit night you should go east first! Don't worry, I will protect my mother, and there will be no accidents. I will persuade her to return to the capital as soon as possible. If she encounters danger on the road, I will send her directly into the space, and there will be no risk."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "It's the only way. I'm really anxious to go east. I always feel that something big is going to happen. If I don't go there, I won't be at peace."
On this side, Xuan Tianming and his wife discussed going to the East Realm after Yue Xi. On the other side, the fourth prince Xuan Tianyi came to visit the Princess's Mansion again, but as soon as he entered the mansion, he heard about Xiangrong kneeling in Concubine Yun's yard. Concubine Yun even spread the news that the marriage between the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua and the third lady of the Feng family, Feng Xiangrong, was cancelled. After the third lady Feng knelt in her yard for three days and three nights, no one was allowed to mention this matter again.
This news shocked Xuan Tianyi very much, but then, another piece of news that came from Concubine Yun made him a little excited. Miss Feng San admitted in person that the person she most wanted to marry was the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi, and the matter with the Seventh Prince was just a misunderstanding.
Xuan Tianyi was so excited that his blood boiled! Did that girl finally get it? She finally figured out who she was thinking about? Great! This is really great!
He grabbed the attendant beside him and said in a hurry, "Go! Go and get the mandarin duck painting that I embroidered last night. I was originally thinking of giving it to her as a gift when she and the seventh brother get married, but I never expected that I would end up using it myself! Go and get it. Concubine Yun is here. Let's get the marriage arranged with her as a witness!"
As Xuan Tianyi wished, Concubine Yun accepted the mandarin duck painting on behalf of Feng Xiangrong, and said to Xuan Tianyi: "Tomorrow on the evening of the moon, the princess's residence will hold a banquet, you should come too, Fourth Brother! Didn't you ask me to make the decision for you? While I'm here, I'll make the decision for you!"
