Chapter 209 The Dignity of the Legal Wife
Chapter 209 The Dignity of the Legal Wife
Jingyan frowned, why did he feel that what Xinrong said made some sense?
But she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Qing'er also felt something was strange.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xinrong asked, "Why do you seem to be hesitant to speak? Why don't you just say what you want to say?"
Jingyan was a little conflicted. Although the plot had changed a bit, it obviously did not affect the love between Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi. If the Fifth Prince continued to live with Xiaoyanzi like in the drama, wouldn't Xinrong's life be very difficult?
Although Jingyan always felt that the current Fifth Prince was not brave enough to elope, this was not certain.
What if things really develop like in the drama, what if Xinrong suddenly falls in love with the Fifth Prince, what if there is another plot where he leaves his child behind and travels thousands of miles to find his wife, then Xinrong will be alone with Mian Yi, it’s sad to think about it.
"Xinrong, you don't love the Fifth Prince right now, so you might as well make a decision and say such cool words. If one day you fall in love with him, but he has no one else in his heart except Xiaoyanzi, wouldn't you be very sad?"
Qing'er agreed, "Yes, at least for now, the Fifth Prince is deeply in love with Xiaoyanzi. He's very likely to ignore you and treat you unfairly after marriage. Would you accept that?"
Xinrong was silent after hearing this. What they said made sense, but considering the Fifth Prince's appearance, she didn't think she could be so blind as to fall in love with him, especially when she knew that he already had someone he loved.
"Xinrong, honestly, you must consider these issues carefully. They concern your entire life. Although I don't know why the Emperor's uncle issued the decree so quickly, I believe they will respect your opinion."
"What you said makes sense, but I don't think I will fall in love with the Fifth Prince. As for after marriage, he can love whoever he wants. All I want is the dignity of being the legal wife."
"What if he doesn't even give you the dignity of a legal wife?"
"He wouldn't dare." Xinrong smiled confidently when mentioning this. "Unless he no longer cares about anything in the royal family, he wouldn't dare."
"You guys also said that Miss Xiaoyanzi has an eccentric personality, which is completely different from me. I think the Fifth Prince will need a qualified wife like me."
How could the Fifth Prince have such a good wife? Jing Yan was mad. Xinrong was such a stubborn kid.
Xinrong knew that she might be thinking too simply, but she really felt that she didn't need love.
Perhaps the two people in front of her also hope that she will be happy because they have found their true love, but in her opinion, status and position are far more important than love.
Xinrong smiled and took their hands. "Okay, I know you're doing this for my own good. I'll definitely consider it carefully. After all, it's a big deal in life and very important."
Seeing that Xinrong didn't care too much, Jingyan wanted to say something but was stopped by Qing'er.
Although Qing'er didn't know why Jingyan was so anxious to persuade Xinrong, it was obvious that Xinrong was willing to marry the Fifth Prince. They had told her all the inside story, and it was still Xinrong's own decision to decide anything else.
"Okay, anyway, just think it through. Don't act impulsively and don't regret it."
Seeing Qing'er's gentle smile, Xinrong also smiled and nodded. They were both doing this for her own good, and she couldn't let them down.
"I will. I'm in the palace right now, so I can observe carefully."
Jingyan nodded: "I hope you can make the decision that suits you best."
I can only hope that Xinrong will not be like in the drama. If Xinrong does not fall in love with the Fifth Prince, it would be fine for her to remain calm and be a good mistress of the palace. Some of Xinrong's ideas are actually good. Not everyone needs love.
After the Fifth Prince had a quarrel with Xinrong, he went to Shufangzhai angrily.
"Ziwei! I'm going out of the palace, are you coming?"
The four great scholars were frightened by the Fifth Prince's behavior. It was rare to see the Fifth Prince so angry. After they saluted obediently, they huddled in a corner and dared not get close.
Ziwei heard the sound and came out to ask, "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but once he did, the Fifth Prince was furious: "The Emperor has granted a marriage for Xinrong and me."
"What! What about the little swallow?"
Ziwei immediately thought of Xiaoyanzi. Although she knew that Xiaoyanzi was not qualified to marry the Fifth Prince, she had witnessed their love throughout. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiaoyanzi.
"So you want to go out and separate from Xiaoyanzi now?"
Hearing Ziwei questioning him immediately, the Fifth Prince was overwhelmed: "Ziwei, how could you think of me like this? The only love of my life is Xiaoyanzi. I will not marry Xinrong."
"Xiaoyanzi will definitely be very sad to hear this news. Let's go out and comfort her." Ziwei looked very sad, but a secret joy unconsciously arose in her heart.
Her marriage was not smooth, and Xiaoyanzi's was not smooth either. They are indeed good sisters who share happiness and hardships.
"Yes, Xiaoyanzi will definitely quarrel with me later, you have to persuade her a little."
In fact, Yongqi shouldn't have told Xiaoyanzi about this at this time, but it was obvious that Yongqi was already furious, and Ziwei did not remind him.
What Yongqi should have done most was to express his determination to marry Xiaoyanzi and do something useful for the emperor, Empress Dowager Cixi, and even Xinrong to see. Unfortunately, he chose to go find Xiaoyanzi.
Ziwei didn't understand what was wrong with Yongqi.
"Yongqi! Ziwei! Why did you come so late? My master has been waiting for you day and night, and he is so eager to see you."
When mentioning Merdan, Ziwei felt a little embarrassed. She had not figured out how to tell Merdan about Xiang Fei's decision.
"Aren't we here yet? Where's Erkang?"
Seeing Ziwei arrive at the guest house, the first thing she did was to look for Erkang. Xiaoyanzi smiled ambiguously: "Humph! I knew you didn't miss me at all. Erkang is in his own room, go quickly."
As she said that, Xiaoyanzi hugged Yongqi.
The carefree Xiaoyanzi obviously didn't notice the ugly expressions of the two men.
"Well, I think we should talk about Meldan first."
"Yes, yes, yes." Yongqi pulled Xiaoyanzi off his body and pulled her towards Meldan's room.
"Hey! Speaking of Merdan, we haven't had a chance to tell you yet. A few days ago, Erkang came up with a brilliant idea. We can have Hanxiang pretend to be possessed by an evil spirit, and then we can play the shaman and enter the palace. That way, they can meet. I want to go too!"
Xiaoyanzi smiled happily. This way she could take the opportunity to stay in the palace. As long as she kept hiding in Shufangzhai and Yonghe Palace, no one would find her.
"No!" Before Xiaoyanzi could even express her plan, Yongqi and Ziwei rejected her very seriously.
"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. Let's talk about the Fragrant Concubine first."
Yongqi looked at the people in the room. Except for Xiao Jian, everyone was there.
"Hey? Where's Xiao Jian?"
When Xiao Jian was mentioned, Xiao Yanzi waved her hands and said, "He's been out for several days. He's always like this, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. I wonder what he's been up to now."
This is true, but Xiao Jian has always been mysterious and no one cares.
Only Erkang, upon hearing this, silently clenched his fists. Xiao Jian, he won't fail, right?
If I had known this earlier, I should have advised him not to be so hasty.
