Chapter 68: The Determination After Retiring the Engagement!
In the evening, Yan Xi took Rong Che's Geng Tie to Prince Xuan's Mansion.
Along the way, he felt a little heavy. This was the second time he came to Prince Xuan's Mansion to break off the engagement, and this time, there was no excuse.
I can't explain why I feel so complicated. I have never been satisfied with this marriage, so why on this day, I feel so heavy under my feet. Chongwen Street is not far from Wangfu Street, and it doesn't take long to walk, but Yan Xi
But he made the driver go around in a big circle.
He needed time to think, and when he returned home later in the afternoon, he suddenly heard that the package Bailixi brought back contained Rong Che's posthumous letter, and his daughter made it clear that he wanted to cancel the engagement. He was completely confused at that moment.
He carefully analyzed his heart and found that the reason why he had always disliked this marriage was simply because his daughter was only six years old when the engagement was made. She made the marriage deal in a muddle when she didn't understand anything. In fact,
Think about it, Prince Xuan was only twelve years old at the time, and he was still a child. He and his father were both adults present, but they could not stop the situation in time. Why should he ask so much of a child?
The reason why I feel bad now is because they are in such a hurry to break off the engagement, not because of any urgency, but because of Uncle Feng's request.
Their daughter's engagement was not what they wanted, nor was the break-up of the engagement. They, as parents and elders, could not even decide on their daughter's marriage!
Tell him how not to be angry! Tell him how not to be depressed!
But eight years ago he didn't have time to stop it, and eight years later he couldn't stop it...
It’s so frustrating!
No matter how big a capital city is, it has a certain range. After walking around for a while, the carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion. Yan Xi sighed helplessly, got up and got off the carriage.
It is said that he is highly skilled in martial arts. Just because he is a civil servant, it is customary to ride in a carriage or sedan when going out. Over the years, he has formed a habit.
He glanced back at the carriage, wondering if these habits had made him hesitant and hesitant, and he no longer had the passion and iron-willedness of his youth.
In the blink of an eye, he came out of Prince Xuan's Mansion, with Rong Che following behind him to see him out.
"My lord, please stay." Yan Xi cupped her hands and said.
"Master Yan, walk slowly."
Rong Che knew that this time he had really lost the marriage.
Yan Xi walked down the steps and got on the carriage. The carriage moved forward swiftly, as if Rong Che's heart had been taken away.
He turned around and returned home, telling the concierge: "Thank you behind closed doors!"
"yes!"
As night falls, the lanterns are turned on, and smoke curls up from every household.
Rong Che stood in the study, looking at the color of the sky in the courtyard through the open window. It was bright and smeared by the sunset, but at this moment, it was extremely gray in his eyes.
In fact, I had known for a long time that such a day would come, but I had always been lucky.
Reality is reality, and the Yan family is unwilling from the beginning to the end.
So what about the prince? The Yan family is an aristocratic and scholarly family, and they don't even care about the position of crown princess.
Watching blankly as the sunset gradually gave way to darkness, Chang Le lit candles in the room.
"Your Majesty, let's have a meal." Chang Le said softly.
Rong Che nodded, took a deep breath, walked over to the table and sat down. Chang Le quickly waved, and the maids filed in, put the food on the table, and then retreated.
He was not a person who couldn't live without love, and he didn't care about himself. Even though he didn't want to break off the marriage, he tried his best to defend it and fight for it. In the end, the engagement was still broken off, so he accepted it.
In fact, what else can you do if you don’t recognize it!
Life goes on as usual, he still has the responsibilities as a prince and the obligations as a minister.
Yan Xi returned home with a heavy heart and told Mrs. Yan about this matter. Mrs. Yan also let out a long sigh.
After returning to the yard, he asked the girl to call Yan Qingzheng to come over, and then went to change clothes and simply wash up. When Yan Qingzheng came over, he told Nalan Lianyue and his daughter about the result of breaking off the engagement.
"From now on, you will have nothing to do with each other. Prince Xuan... you will find a good marriage in the future." Yan Xi sighed.
Yan Qingzheng was shocked at first, then slowly lowered his eyes, squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and said after a while: "Father came back so quickly."
Yan Xi thought to himself that he had gone around a lot in the street. However, Prince Xuan was really happy. After explaining his purpose, he just drank a cup of tea in silence and went through the formalities quickly.
Yan Qing took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Excuse me, father, for making this trip. My daughter will go back and rest first."
She got up and went out, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Yan Xi drank tea in silence. Nalan Lianyue looked at him looking a little depressed and asked quickly: "By the way, why did the emperor summon you to the palace today?"
Yan Xi said "Oh" before reacting: "Oh, I forgot about this!"
Because he heard the news that Yan Qing was about to break off the engagement as soon as he entered the house, he forgot about what the emperor had told him. At that moment, he told Nalan Lianyue about the emperor's meaning and asked: "In your opinion,
Will fourth brother and the others agree?"
Nalan Lianyue frowned and thought, and replied: "In my opinion, it's unlikely..."
Yan Xi nodded: "I feel the same way. I'm afraid the emperor also knows about it, so he said hello in advance."
"But you still have to ask. After all, maybe they have changed their minds in the past few years."
"Yes." Yan Xi stretched his body and said, "Whatever, let's ask tomorrow. The emperor is not in a hurry to have half a day. I'm hungry. When will I have dinner?"
In fact, the emperor is really anxious. It's not that the prince is so old that he will have no peace if he doesn't get engaged, but because the emperor is impatient.
At this moment, he also got the news that Rong Che had broken off the engagement, and sent someone to call Rong Che into the palace. The person who came back said that Prince Xuan's palace was closed to all guests.
Prince Xuan replied and said that if the military situation was not urgent, please allow him to take leave for a few days.
The emperor was running around in a hurry, but he couldn't bear to force Rong Che to face him at this time, so he kept worrying blindly, circling in a small area, like a little cat playing with its own tail. Hong Wen looked dizzy and came up with an idea:
"Since Prince Xuan is unwilling to come, why not summon Lord Xiaoyan?"
The emperor stopped suddenly, staggered, and immediately slapped his thigh: "Yes!"
Just as he was about to call Yan Xi, he hesitated, rubbed his smooth chin, and thought, "I just summoned him today, will he be impatient if I call him into the palace now?"
Hongwen opened his mouth, and he, the chief chamberlain, was speechless. The king of a country was afraid that summoning a minister twice in one day would make him impatient! The extent to which this emperor doted on his ministers was truly unprecedented!
However, Hong Wen then secretly murmured, "Master Xiaoyan is probably the only one in the world who is treated like this!"
The emperor was discouraged, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, let's ask again tomorrow."
When the concubine heard the news, she felt regretful and couldn't help but look at Rouye. As expected, she was overjoyed.
The concubine thought to herself that it was not impossible for a girl to fall in love with her childhood sweetheart Rong Che. Although she was a little hesitant at first, thinking that Rong Che had already been engaged, it was impossible for the Yan family to let Yan Qing be the concubine, and Rouye Tangtang County
The master knew that Rong Che had a main concubine and still wanted to marry him. He did not hesitate to seek the position of a side concubine. It was really degrading.
But now that the marriage between Rong Che and the Yan family has been dissolved, then if I can raise Rouye's status, maybe it's not impossible to become Rong Che's concubine.
After thinking about it, I told the gospel to increase the fee for Rouye.
Rouye settled down in the side courtyard, and she couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She happily walked around the room for a few times before slowly calming down.
God-given opportunity, if she fails to seize the opportunity this time and replaces herself with a Princess Xuan who is of the right age, she may still be able to get in, but she will no longer have the advantage.
She didn't know it at this time, but when Rong Che found out that the concubine intended for her to be his concubine, he immediately understood the reason for Yan Qingzheng's sudden change of attitude, and thus strengthened his determination to never marry anyone else.
She is still dreaming and thinking about the future.
Bailixi stayed in the guest house of Yan Mansion. After dinner, he heard the news from his servants and suddenly felt that he had great hope. Junior sister Yan did not break off the engagement for half a year after she came back. As soon as he came, she
What does it mean to break off the engagement?
He didn't know that there was another Gengtie issue ahead, he just thought that his arrival made Yan Qingzheng make up his mind.
At this moment, he is full of confidence. Yan Qing is taking the initiative to travel with him. What a signal is this!
Afraid of a long night and many dreams, he planned to discuss setting off with Yan Qingzheng the next day. It would be safer to leave earlier.
Yan Qing and Zheng Yanqing were practicing a set of sword skills in the yard without using any spiritual power.
Even so, the situation was very fierce. Yun'er and other four maids were guarding the four corners of the courtyard, looking at their young lady worriedly.
Everything was the young lady’s idea, so why was she in a bad mood at this time?
Since she didn't use her spiritual power, she performed a sword dance two or three times. Yan Qing was dripping with sweat. She asked her maid to prepare hot water and soaked in the water with her eyes closed to rest her mind.
She herself never thought that she would care so much about this marriage.
However, there is nothing to regret now. She has no intention of turning back. She does not want to be a princess when she comes back to Fengrong. She wants to take advantage of the few years she has spent at the foot of the mountain to live out her heroine addiction.
She wants to travel around the world, explore secret places, cultivate immortality without regrets, and finally pursue the supreme way.
It was she who gave up on this marriage!
The steam from the bathtub was steaming, making her cheeks blush. She scooped up a handful of water with her hands and let the water spill from her fingers.
This cup of water is out of control. Yan Qingzheng's hands cannot restrain them. Yan Qingzheng is just like the free water. A marriage cannot restrain her, and some strong people cannot restrain her and force her to submit!
For example, Master Feng!
She really didn't want to marry Rong Che, but she didn't want to marry the apprentice of Master Feng's friend!
At any rate, she had known Rong Che since childhood and had a good impression, but the apprentice of Master Feng's friend was a complete stranger to her, and the first impression was not good either!
He is just a young man who relies on his master to protect his shortcomings, pretends to be powerful, has eyes on the top of his head, is arrogant, proud and complacent, and uses his power to bully others!
Fortunately, Yan Qingzheng was only fourteen years old, so she managed to buy two years, otherwise she would have been forced to get married immediately!
"Two years!" Yan Qingzheng sneered, "For others, maybe they wouldn't be able to accomplish much in two years, but you underestimate me, Yan Qingzheng. After two years, you will only be able to look up to my cultivation!
