Chapter 544: A Lesson
Bei Feng pursed his lips tightly. He originally thought that he could tell his father and mother about his marriage. It would be easier if they agreed. At least his eldest brother could consider it. However, they said that he had to listen to his eldest brother's opinion on his marriage. They also said that being well-matched was the most important thing. He had to consider the overall situation instead of acting arbitrarily. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Father and Mother are in good health." Bei Feng just said this.
"You've been hanging around out there for so long and you refused to come back. I didn't blame you at first, but after you regained your consciousness, you didn't come back either. Why?" Ouyang Mingxi asked him.
There are some explanations for this. It's not that Ouyang Mingxi didn't look for him, but that he didn't find him. Ouyang Beifeng was poisoned by someone, and everything about him was sealed. Moreover, his appearance had changed, so it was really difficult to find him.
"I have a woman in my heart and I want to be with her." Bei Feng mustered up the courage to say this. He thought that he had to say it sooner or later, so he might as well say it now.
But Ouyang Mingxi didn't take it seriously. He just told the people beside him, "Go and ask Miss Jia to come over."
Bei Feng was startled and asked, "Brother, I won't fall in love with other women. I just want to be with her."
"What is her identity, what is her background, and where is she from?" Ouyang Mingxi asked Bei Feng three questions in a row.
Bei Feng had already thought about these issues. He said, "She is not from the Sea Country, has no identity, and no background. She is just an ordinary woman, but I fell in love with her, and that is enough."
"Who are you? You are the Third Prince of the Sea Kingdom, carrying the honor and responsibility of your entire family." Ouyang Mingxi's tone was calm, but it carried a lot of weight. He continued, "Although I am currently the Regent, your second brother, and you, also need to step up and take on responsibilities. Do you really want to be a free and easy king?"
Beifeng lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ouyang Mingxi continued, "You need to understand one thing. Why are you able to do whatever you want now? Why don't you have to worry about making a living or even having to worry about food? It's because you're a prince. Someone has created a peaceful world for you. You should also pay for it. You can't just enjoy it for free, right?"
Beifeng frowned and took a breath, unable to refute.
"As a prince, you should put the country and the people first, instead of being trapped in your own petty love affairs." Ouyang Mingxi continued to educate him.
Bei Feng said, "If I don't even have the right to choose my own wife, I would rather be a commoner."
"Look at what you said, how childish! Who can decide their own birth?" Ouyang Mingxi asked him back.
Bei Feng frowned and said, "I just want to marry her. I only want to marry her."
At this time, Jia Qinshuang was led into the house by the servants. She was still wearing a veil.
Ouyang Mingxi signaled all the servants to leave, and then Jia Qinshuang took off the veil on her head and looked at Beifeng. She was very straightforward, not like a lady from a noble family, and there was no shyness at all.
Bei Feng didn't dare to look at her. He just glanced at her quickly and then looked away. But just this quick glance was enough to see the beauty of this woman. She was indeed a beauty. But even so, it was useless. He was only thinking about Mei Die.
"Is she pretty?" Ouyang Mingxi asked.
"It looks good." Bei Feng did not lie, and then said, "But it's useless if it looks good. It's not my Meidie."
Ouyang Mingxi sneered, then said, "You haven't even spent time with her, how can you know she's not as good as that country girl? She's rare in appearance, but she comes from one of the most affluent families, and she's the daughter of our Sea Nation. What else are you dissatisfied with? You have no reason to be dissatisfied."
"I don't agree." Beifeng said with gritted teeth.
Ouyang Mingxi glanced at Jia Qinshuang, signaling her to step back first.
Jia Qinshuang remained expressionless. After putting on her veil, she turned around and strode away, as if Beifeng's rejection of her just now was just a gust of wind that did not cause any reaction from her at all.
Ouyang Mingxi advised Beifeng again, "Don't be so willful. Even if I agree, the people outside won't agree."
Bei Feng frowned and said, "I just need the consent of my father, the emperor, and my mother. I already explained it to them yesterday."
"Did they agree?" Ouyang Mingxi asked him.
Sad wind doesn't speak.
"Your marriage is not up to you to decide. You knew it from the beginning. Otherwise, why didn't you bring her back? Because you knew that no one here would accept her." Ouyang Mingxi told him directly.
Bei Feng understood, and he knelt down before Ouyang Mingxi. He said, "Brother, I want to be with Mei Die, and I want to give her a title. I want her to be my Third Prince's consort."
"You actually knelt down for a woman?" This was something Ouyang Mingxi had never thought of, but he didn't find it strange.
"I just want to be with her. I know I can't change my identity, so I beg my brother to promise me that I will do whatever you ask me to do. Just let her come to Haiguo and be with me." Beifeng said earnestly.
Ouyang Mingxi lowered his eyes to look down at Beifeng, and said with a condescending attitude, "Are you really willing to pay any price for her?"
"Yes." Beifeng answered firmly.
"Get up first." Ouyang Mingxi pulled Beifeng up with one hand and said, "You're really becoming more and more promising. You're just a woman. There are so many other women out there, but you have to choose this one."
"I love her."
"Men should love power." Ouyang Mingxi said to him meaningfully.
Bei Feng had already stood up and said, "I don't want power, I just want to be with the woman I love. Please, big brother, put in a good word for me and agree to my request."
"How about this, I will allow her to come, give her household registration in Haiguo, let the Prime Minister recognize her as his goddaughter, and then you can marry her as your princess. What do you think?" Ouyang Mingxi looked at Beifeng with an unfathomable look.
Bei Feng's expression brightened. This was truly wonderful. He hadn't expected his elder brother to be so open-minded. He said, "Of course this is wonderful. Excellent. I will be forever grateful for your kindness."
"You don't need to spend your whole life expressing gratitude. You just need to do one thing." Ouyang Mingxi said with a chuckle.
"Just give your orders, big brother." Bei Feng asked. He was so immersed in joy that he had no idea that danger was approaching.
Ouyang Mingxi heard him say, "It's just a small matter. Go back to West City and steal the novel written by the City Lord and give it to me."
"What?" Beifeng frowned, he thought he had heard wrongly.
"This is not difficult. I'll tell you where the things are. You just need to take them out. It's not a difficult thing, and it's not a big deal." Ouyang Mingxi said with a chuckle.
Bei Feng was a little confused and asked, "Brother, do you have a grudge against the Lord of West City? Or what? Why did you steal the novel she wrote?"
"You don't need to know this." Ouyang Mingxi didn't tell him why, he just wanted him to do the job.
"You don't tell me why, how should I do it."
"You don't need to know why. You just need to think about whether you want to be with Meidie. Besides, this is not a matter of murder or arson. What are you afraid of?" Ouyang Mingxi's face looked a little ugly.
Bei Feng said, "The city lord has done me a favor, I cannot do anything to let her down."
"It's just a novel. It won't endanger her life, and it's insignificant to her because she will soon forget that she ever wrote such a novel." Ouyang Mingxi spoke to him coldly.
