After breaking off the engagement, he devoted himself to thinking about how to marry the eighth princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
First of all, the first difficulty is Murong Xiao. He is very rich, powerful, and capable.
With such a brother-in-law, it is naturally difficult to find a wife.
He couldn't compete with Murong Xiao, but there was always one thing he could do with, and that was to fight for wealth.
After that, he decisively worked for Murong Xiao, became one of his partners, and helped him conceal his identity.
Murong Xiao needed someone to cover for him. At that time, he needed to get rid of the control of the Long family as soon as possible and regain his things, so he cooperated with Feng Mian.
Back and forth, he secretly came to Beiqi many times, but he only glanced at her secretly and left in a hurry. When Murong Xiao was at war, he took care of a lot of business for him.
That was their busiest period, and it was also the time when their wealth suddenly soared. They all made a lot of money and worked hard to establish their own power in Xiliang Kingdom and other places.
But for this reason, they also lost something. For example, Murong Xiao missed Feng Mingwei for three years, and he also missed the opportunity to win over her, so that he finally lost her.
He did so many things for Murong Xiao and worked hard without complaining, just so that he could marry his sister.
But in the end, Shen Zhuojie got there first.
Feng Mian talked a lot intermittently, and when it came to the saddest part, he couldn't help but kiss her eyebrows, "When you and Shen Zhuo were getting married, I was also preparing the betrothal gift and preparing to come to Northern Qi to propose marriage..."
"Because Murong Xiao failed to protect you, your brother and I had a big fight."
At that time, Murong Xiao accompanied Feng Mingwei to the northwest, and when he came back it was already too late.
Shen Jing plotted against her and Shen Zhuo, and the two of them cooked rice. In order to cover up the matter, Emperor Beiwu granted them marriage.
He was originally going to come to Northern Qi to propose marriage, but he didn't expect that they would get married quickly.
During that time, he was sad. He followed Yan Bugui to come to Beiqi secretly and planned to take Feng Mingwei away. During the time when he was lurking in Beiqi, he often secretly went to the princess mansion to inquire about many things. At that time, she liked Shen Zhuo very much.
She didn't hesitate to quarrel with Murong Xiao because of Shen Zhuo.
Emperor Beiwu forced Shen Zhuo to eat poison. He couldn't bear it and touched the eighth princess. He was also in the princess's house that night. He wanted to go in and kill Shen Zhuo. But knowing that Murong Shu liked Shen Zhuo and she was willing to do so, he became more and more angry.
She left frustrated, but he was unwilling to give in. When he saw the happy life between her and Shen Zhuo in the princess mansion, he was extremely jealous and wanted to destroy it.
The Shen family is in a state of decline, and it would be easy to destroy Shen Zhuo.
Shen Zhuo originally didn't want to reconcile, but he secretly found Murong Xiao to push the situation. Shen Zhuo finally chose to abandon her for the sake of the Shen family.
They divorced, and Feng Mian was very happy.
Xiliang and Dongmo joined forces to attack Northern Qi, and he suddenly felt that this was an excellent opportunity.
There were many things to prepare before the war, such as food, grass, money, etc. He took the initiative to take charge of this matter, and even went to the battlefield and became enemies with her brother.
He only thought that if a war broke out and Northern Qi was defeated, he would propose a marriage. At that time, he could take the opportunity to ask her to come and get married.
After so many years of planning, she finally got what she wanted, but she still doesn't love him...
The man's charming peach blossom eyes looked at her with obsession and a little bit of shame, "Princess, I'm not as good as you think, I'm not that outstanding, you don't have to feel that you are not worthy of me."
"You are kind and beautiful. But I am despicable. I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. There is no difference between Shen Zhuo and I, but there is one thing that is different between me and him. I will be devoted to you until death."
"If you marry me, I will never let you down."
Murong Shu burst into tears, "Then why don't you come and steal the bride..."
She didn't understand much else, but one thing she knew was that he liked her very early on.
But why didn't you tell her earlier?
She didn't really want to marry Shen Zhuo at that time, because if she had known that he didn't like her, she would have been disheartened, but because the rice was already cooked, there was no better choice or any other way out.
She grew up in the palace and never went out. She only knew Shen Zhuo, so naturally her whole heart and eyes were only for him.
If there are more choices, she will not compromise.
Feng Mian beamed with joy, "Princess, you want me to come and steal the bride? If I come, won't you marry Shen Zhuo?"
Does that mean she likes him too?
"Well..." If she could do it over again, she wouldn't be so stupid again, "You should have shown up earlier and told me earlier."
Feng Mian smiled bitterly, "I was engaged at that time, and I was much older than you. You already liked Shen Zhuo at that time, so I was a little unsure."
He is a dignified eldest son and is confident in everything he does. But in front of her, he loses his confidence and always feels that he is not good enough to be her consort.
Who would have thought that I would miss out on so much.
"Is it too late now? I want the princess...I don't want to miss it anymore. Let's get married tomorrow, okay?"
Murong Shu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes."
She thought he would go back and wait until tomorrow, but Feng Mian kissed her as soon as he was happy and couldn't stop.
After hearing what she said about last night, Feng Mingwei smiled like an aunt, "It's good! I'm seven years older than you, not too old. It's the best age for you to get married and have children."
She thought it was too early to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
After last night, Murong Shu's inferiority complex disappeared a lot, but she was still worried, "Sister-in-law, do you think men really don't care that their wives are not perfect?"
"It's hard to tell about other people's men. Feng Mian shouldn't care. Besides, Feng Mian is already in his thirties. There's no way he doesn't have other women. The girl with whom he's married should always have one."
"It's not his first time, so why should he ask you for it?"
They didn't know if Feng Mian had any other women.
Murong Shu knew that for the princes of the royal family, when they were sixteen or seventeen years old at the latest, the palace would arrange for priests and maids to initiate them.
"Is Murong Xiao there?" Feng Mingwei's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she suddenly became interested in digging up some inside information.
Murong Shu smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! My seventh brother has no other woman except you. You should know this very well."
The corners of Feng Mingwei's lips raised, "I didn't know, didn't you say that the palace would arrange for maids to eat meat for them? Every prince has gone through it, doesn't he need to go through it?"
