"In order to prevent him from ruining the marriage, I just played some tricks. I used concealer powder to cover the palace sand on my arms. I deliberately deceived him so that he would give up. You won't blame me for leaving Xingyao Kingdom." Feng Qingzhuang looked at her.
Calm as water, he looked at Feng Yu calmly and told the truth
But only she knows the true purpose in her heart
"Of course not." Feng Yu smiled slightly, his handsome facial features were like the flowers blooming for the first time, stained with fragrance, and he opened his lips and continued: "I came to see you today, in addition to this matter, I also came to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell?" Feng Qingzhuang frowned, confused.
"Yes, the details of the marriage have been discussed with the Star Emperor in these three days. The carriage is waiting outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. After a while, I will set off to the place where the two countries meet outside Shuangping City to arrange the wedding. And you
The wedding day is set for the tenth day and it will take about half a month to arrive at Shuangping City. I will wait for you by the Qingping River outside Shuangping City." Feng Yu had a warm smile on his face, and his magnetic voice was as soft as the spring breeze in March.
"I understand, then take care of yourself along the way." Feng Qingzhuang's face remained as usual, her heart was neither happy nor sad, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
"Don't be too tired. Be careful with your health. Otherwise, when I see you, if I see you thin, I will feel sorry for you." Feng Yu's beautiful blue eyes showed real concern, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
, the smile slowly spreads
He took out a pair of jade bracelets wrapped in silk handkerchiefs from his arms and said, "These bracelets are called Yuanyang jade bracelets. They can reflect the pattern of Yuanyang under the light. They were given to me by my mother before she died. She said they were left behind."
Come here for your future daughter-in-law, I’ll wear it for you.”
After saying that, Feng Yu raised his hand to take Feng Qingzhuang's hand. The hands that wanted to help her put on Feng Qingzhuang shrank back reflexively. Feng Yu's sharp pupils showed a touch of loss, and the corners of her lips smiled.
become bitter
Seeing this, Feng Qingzhuang felt guilty and took the initiative to reach out her hand and said
"Here, put it on for me"
Feng Yu's expression instantly brightened. He took Feng Qingzhuang's hand, covered her hand with a silk handkerchief as white as jade, and smoothly put the jade bracelet on her wrist.
"Qingzhuang, I have to leave." Feng Yu stood up and said reluctantly
"I'll see you off." Feeling sorry, Feng Qingzhuang also stood up.
"No, parting is always sad." Feng Yu declined and looked at the person in front of him, his eyes as gentle as water. He held her face, lowered his head slightly, and gently pressed a farewell kiss on her forehead.
Turn around, raise your feet and stride towards the outside of the flower hall.
Feng Qingzhuang stood blankly by the door, looking at Feng Yu who was walking away. The residual warmth from his lips seemed to still remain on her forehead.
After standing there for a long time, Feng Qingzhuang returned to the table and sat down only when Feng Chenxiang and Sixth Yiniang arrived.
"Qingzhuang, the emperor specially summoned me in the royal study today. Your wedding day is set for ten days. Because the marriage between the two countries is a big event and time is in a hurry. In order not to lose the royal dignity, the emperor decided to embezzle part of Princess Huixin's dowry first.
As your dowry, the rest will be selected from the treasury to make up for the royal dowry. Although the dowry prepared by the royal family is rich, you are my father’s daughter, and my father also wants to fulfill his obligations as a father. Today, I specially called your six mothers to come to Piaoxue Pavilion to discuss it.”
Feng Chenxiang's mood was contradictory and complicated, a little happy, a little reluctant, and a little melancholy.
Feng Qingzhuang sat at the table, looking like a lady, elegant and noble. She looked at Liu Yiniang who looked embarrassed. Naturally, she knew why she was embarrassed. She said softly.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about the dowry. What I will discuss with Sixth Yiniang is that once my daughter gets married to another country, she will not be able to fulfill her filial piety in front of her father. Father should take good care of his health."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiniang breathed a sigh of relief obviously. Today, the Prime Minister's Mansion is an empty shell, barely enough for the Prime Minister's Mansion to eat and drink.
When Prime Minister Feng Chen heard the words "marry in another country," his eyes were slightly moist. He held Feng Qingzhuang's hand and warned him:
"Qingzhuang, I know that your talent and mind are not inferior to those of men. It's just that the Cangyan Kingdom is thousands of miles away. The Crown Prince's Mansion of the Cangyan Kingdom is much more complicated than our Prime Minister's Mansion. After you marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion of the Cangyan Kingdom, everything will be different.
You are so thoughtful and you are in a foreign country. If anything happens, dad just wants to help you, but it is beyond his reach. Dad, seeing that Prince Feng is sincere to you, the only one you can rely on in the future is him."
"Dad also said that if your daughter's talent and intelligence are not inferior to those of a boy, don't worry. Even if you are in a foreign country, your daughter will not be a loser." Feng Qingzhuang comforted her heart with warmth.
"Yes, sir, the second young lady is amazingly talented and beautiful. I believe that after the second young lady marries to the Cangyan Kingdom, she will definitely be loved by her husband." Sixth Aunt said. In her knowledge, being loved by her husband means she will be loved for the rest of her life.
No need
The three of them talked in the room for a while, and Manager Qin came to urge them.
"Master, the table has been set and you can enjoy your meal."
"Qingzhuang, someone will come from the palace tomorrow to take you into the palace. According to the rules of our ancestors, you must live in the palace until you get married. Today we will have a reunion dinner together as a family," said Feng Chenxiang
"Good dad, you go over first. Six Yiniang and I still have a few words to say. We'll be back later."
"Then dad is going to the dining room first. It's cold here. You have to come here quickly, otherwise the food will be cold."
"Yes." Feng Qingzhuang nodded and watched Feng Chenxiang and Qin Zhong exit the Piaoxue Pavilion. Then she took out a stack of silver notes from Mo Yin Yunfeng and handed them to Liu Yiniang. These silver notes were only from the auction.
a small portion of what you earn
"Sixth aunt, this is a silver note of twenty thousand taels of gold. If you use half of it to buy a dowry, it will save the prime minister's house from being laughed at. Keep the remaining half and use it to supplement this matter when needed."
You must not let dad know, otherwise he will feel guilty again."
After a pause, Feng Qingzhuang took the sixth aunt's hand, held it tightly, and said uneasily: "Among the aunts, you are the most shrewd and capable, so I asked Manager Qin to hand over the backyard to her.
Since I am no longer in charge of you, my father and the Prime Minister’s Mansion will be left to you from now on."
"Second Miss, don't worry, I won't touch this money unless it's absolutely necessary. As for the master, he is my husband. It's my duty to take good care of him," Sixth Aunt promised.
"That puts me at ease. It's time for us to go to the dining room to have a meal."
After saying that, the two of them led the maids beside them towards the dining room.
