Looking at such a strong and stubborn Xuanyuan Jing, Xuanyuan Zhan's heart inevitably ached a little. As a child of the imperial family, he would have to pay too much in his life.
He could not help but pat Xuanyuan Jing on the head. Lowering his eyes, he advised: "Jing Er, you have only lived for a few decades. Since you are so young, why don't you think about it for yourself? Third brother only hopes that you won't be tied down by those teachings and get married into a happy and happy life, and become a simple and happy girl! "
Xuanyuan Jing lowered her eyes, her expression could not be seen, and only her gentle voice could be heard, "Third brother, I know that you are doing this for my own good, with a short life, and at the end of the day, only dozens of years have passed. Moreover, Jing Er is a Grand Princess of a country, and she has been loved by royal father since she was young.
Xuanyuan Zhan sighed, "But a marriage is a major event that concerns the happiness of your future, how can you be so reckless!"
"Third brother!"
Xuanyuan Jing called out, and her face finally revealed the expression of a little girl, "Third Brother being this concerned for Jing Er, Jing Er is already very happy. As a princess, Jing Er has to marry sooner or later. General Mu is courageous and warlike, with courage and foresight, Jing Er wouldn't feel wronged if she married him. "
With these words, Xuanyuan Zhan knew that he could no longer persuade Xuanyuan Jing.
He knew that Xuanyuan Jing had been sensible since she was young, and had had her own opinions, understanding the overall situation. Although the identity of the Grand Princess had brought her unparalleled honor and grace, it had also brought about an incomparably heavy responsibility.
Xuanyuan Jing had understood this ever since she was young, and was diligently and dutifully completing her own identity.
Thus, even though he knew that it was time for her to contribute, he was willing and didn't complain at all.
But Xuanyuan Zhan also remembered that his little sister Jing Er, who had always been reserved and gentle, had now praised her to the extreme in front of Mu Ming. Based on his understanding of Xuanyuan Jing, it was highly likely that Xuanyuan Jing admired Mu Ming to be so much.
Seeing her sister's resolute expression, Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't bear to tell her about Mu Ming and Shangguan Qinger.
Xuanyuan Zhan facepalmed, this was really a headache, how was he supposed to explain this when he returned home.
Once he returned to the manor, Xuanyuan Zhan went to discuss this matter with Feng Yu.
Both sides were Feng Yu's good friends, so Feng Yu was normally very happy to see and hear about Mu Ming and Shangguan Qinger.
Since the last time they met, Feng Yu also liked this gentle, brilliant, and intelligent Grand Princess. Her good impression towards him soared, and the two of them became even more close, with a feeling of hate for meeting each other too late.
Now, listening to Xuanyuan Zhan talk about Xuanyuan Jing's righteousness and sacrifice, Feng Yu also felt a little heartache.
However, Feng Yu, after all, had the thoughts of a modern man. Understanding was one thing, but her heart still disagreed. What was the point of a life in which one lived all day long and thought of everything first according to the principles of the country's righteous etiquette?
, don't you have a good relationship with Jing Er now? She might be willing to listen to what you have to say. Xuanyuan Zhan rubbed his chin and asked with uncertainty.
"Hmm, Grand Princess is smarter than others, of course I like her a lot. It seems that she is quite reasonable as well. I advised her and gave her a little advice. She is very smart, so she definitely understands. " Feng Yu immediately nodded.
Xuanyuan Zhan nodded, "That's the only way."
"But how do we get Jing Er out?" When Xuanyuan Zhan heard that he still had a chance, he silently rubbed his face against Feng Yu's side, and acted as if he was listening attentively, "Right now, she's still waiting to be married, I'm afraid it's not good for her to leave the palace."
Feng Yu's eyes turned, and not long after, she thought of a way. She immediately ordered someone to send a message to Xuanyuan Jing, inviting her to the Yuejing Workshop for a gathering in the afternoon.
She helplessly told the contents of the letter to Xuanyuan Zhan, in case that big furry head would continue to come over, "What do you think?
Xuanyuan Zhan happily gave Feng Yu a kiss on the cheek. "As expected, my wangfei is the smartest!"
Feng Yu's face turned red as she whispered, "Shameless."
The air between them seemed to rise several degrees.
Actually, the letter didn't mention anything else, it only said that Yuejing Workshop had recently brought out a new style of pastries, Feng Yu wanted to invite her to come and have a taste. Yuejing Workshop was the most famous bakery in the capital, but to invite him out for a single bake, Xuanyuan Jing had doubts in her heart.
When Xuanyuan Jing arrived at Yuejing Workshop, there was already someone waiting for him at the entrance.
When Xuanyuan Jing entered the private box, Feng Yu sat quietly by the side of the tea table, with a few piles of pastries and tea on the table.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Jing had arrived, Feng Yu immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Grand Princess."
Xuanyuan Jing smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, please call me Jing Er." With that, she waved her hands towards the back, and the female servants bowed their heads and retreated out of the room, closing the doors behind them.
Feng Yu smiled and greeted her, "Jing'er, quickly try this Ruyi. It's sweet, yet not greasy. It's refreshing and refreshing. It's very tasty."
Xuanyuan Jing nodded, tasted it, and praised, "Delicious!"
"There's also this, the osmanthus lotus root powder sugar cake, the snowflake cake …"
Looking at Feng Yu who had an enthusiastic expression, Xuanyuan Jing lightly put down her chopsticks and shook her head, indicating that she didn't need to. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just speak your mind."
Eyebrows... Feng Yu sat back down unhappily, but a smile immediately appeared on her face. "There's nothing else. I heard from your third brother that Royal Father gave you a marriage?"
When it came to marriage, even Xuanyuan Jing started to blush a little. Recently, the mama had told her about many things that a wife would change into, but she still replied honestly, "Yes, it's General Mu Mu Ming."
Looking at Xuanyuan Jing's shy appearance, Feng Yu finally understood why Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't bear to mention Shangguan Qinger back then.
"Then, Jing Er, you … Do you like General Mu? " Feng Yu probed.
"As long as the words of the matchmaker and the parents are appropriate, it would be fine." Xuanyuan Jing did not reply him explicitly, she only smiled slightly.
Feng Yu became a bit anxious when she heard this. She frowned and said, "Jing Er, marriage is a matter that concerns the happiness of a girl like us. Have you thought about it?"
"Yes." Xuanyuan Jing nodded.
"Hai." Feng Yu sighed. "How about this, Jing Er, let me tell you a story."
"A long time ago, there was a young man who was recognized as an orphan by a young master of a family and took him in as his disciple. This young man is very smart and learns things very quickly. The young master of this rich family liked him very much and was willing to give him everything he had. The young man did not disappoint him and his skills were outstanding. Soon, he became the young master's personal bodyguard. Once, when he was out carrying out the orders of a young master, he was unluckily targeted by bandits. Although the young man has great martial arts skills, he was unable to hold up the numbers, and although the young master protected the thing that he wanted, he was heavily injured after escaping. "
Feng Yu secretly sized up Xuanyuan Jing's expression. Seeing that she had always been an innocent girl who was attracted by the story and obediently listened to it, she could only continue.
"Just when the youth thought that he was going to die here, he was saved by a peasant girl who risked her life. Those people couldn't find him, so they left. While the young man was recuperating, the girl took care of him very carefully. The two of them developed feelings for each other from day to night, and the young man promised that he would come to propose marriage after he had finished his mission. However, everything was unpredictable. The young man's mission was extremely outstanding, and even the old master in the mansion was full of praise. In a moment of joy, he allotted his only precious pearl to him. But this youth still remembered that peasant girl who was waiting for him to get married. How could he agree to this marriage? However, before the youth could refuse, the old master said, "He knows that the youth has fallen in love with a village girl, but how can a village girl compare to the treasure of their family?"
"Since this young man gave all his friendship to that girl, how could he have any other thoughts?" However, the old master threatened to kill the girl as soon as the young man didn't agree. Thus, no matter how much the youth was unwilling, he could only submit it. The young man asked the young master for help, and the young master agreed to ask his sister about it. If the younger sister wasn't willing, given the extent of the old master's favor towards her, there was still room for compromise. It was a pity that his younger sister admired this handsome and outstanding youth by her elder brother's side. The Young Master couldn't bear to hurt her younger sister, so he endured the humiliation of not telling her that this youth already had a crush on someone. The youth had no choice but to marry the young miss. "
Hearing that, Xuanyuan Jing's face also changed, what is this story referring to?
She put away her innocent look and bit her lip. "What happened next?"
"Later on …"
Feng Yu pretended to take a sip of tea in regret, and secretly raised her eyes to look at Xuanyuan Jing, "The young man betrayed her promise, so she was naturally too ashamed to meet that girl, and that girl kept waiting, waiting, waiting for him for so many years. The young lady guessed that the young man might not return, but she still held onto the last strand of her desire to continue waiting, and as for that young lady, she also realized the fact that her husband did not love her, and she could only end up living her life in a lonely room, depressed and lonely."
It seemed that Xuanyuan Jing didn't have any reaction, Feng Yu thought to herself. This won't do, she had already fabricated such a story to hint at Mu Ming and Shangguan Qinger's relationship with her.
"What does Jing`er think of this story?" Feng Yu said with a smile.
Xuanyuan Jing was startled, but she still replied honestly: "It's such a pity for the girl and the village girl, but the most pitiful part is the young miss. She did not know how to live her whole life like this, but the story is still just a story."
Feng Yu followed up on Xuanyuan Jing's words, "Jing Er, what you said is right. A story is still a story, as long as we don't have to be like that young miss when we're still alive, then in the end, we would only regret marrying the wrong person."
