Chapter 208 Don't Mind Xiaoyanzi
Seeing Xinrong's refusal to budge, the Fifth Prince was a little upset: "I can't explain it to you clearly. I want to marry Xiaoyanzi and be with her for the rest of my life. You are only affecting us."
Xinrong seemed to have heard something funny. She sneered, "Fifth Prince, you are a prince, and you are a couple for life? How ridiculous! You only have such thoughts now because you haven't married your sweetheart yet. Can you guarantee that you won't take concubines in your lifetime?"
Hearing this, the figure of Cai Lian inexplicably appeared in Yongqi's mind. For a moment, he felt a little guilty. Cai Lian was just his good friend, how could he think like this.
Seeing Yongqi didn't say anything, Xinrong sneered. Now he didn't even dare to make a boast, let alone in the future?
"Fifth Prince, if you really don't want to marry me, then use your ability to make the Emperor happily cancel the engagement. If that's not possible, then don't cause such trouble. It will only diminish my impression of you."
Hearing Xinrong's words, Yongqi became unhappy again: "Are you still trying to give me a discount? Your impression of me has been reduced by half. I don't care. The old lady dotes on you so much. If you say you don't want to marry her, she will definitely not force you."
"I want to get married. Why wouldn't I want to? The Fifth Prince and I are a good match."
Yongqi was so angry at Xinrong that he almost vomited blood. He couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't communicate with her at all.
"How can there be such a shameless woman like you in this world!"
Seeing Yongqi yelling without any grace and then leaving in a huff, Xinrong frowned. He thought he was still not mature enough and needed to be disciplined.
Originally, Xinrong had a very good impression of the Fifth Prince. After all, when he came to pick up their family, the Fifth Prince was quite polite and handsome.
Since he doesn't respect her, there is no need for her to respect him. As for Xiaoyanzi, as long as she is around, she will always be inferior to her.
What true love? She doesn't believe that the royal family can have true love.
As for what Yongqi said about not loving her, it was even more ridiculous to Xinrong. She didn't need him to love her. She just needed him to be willing to make progress. She just had to obey the arrangements of her parents and elders, be a qualified concubine, and take care of the housework.
In her eyes, marriage is originally a cooperation, a cooperation between two people and a cooperation between two families.
After angering the Fifth Prince and driving him away, Xinrong returned to the Cining Palace. By then, Fu Lingan and Yongheng had already left, and Jingyan was a little worried about Xinrong.
"Are you OK?"
Seeing Xinrong's unhappy expression, the Empress Dowager asked, "Did Yongqi offend you?"
Xinrong forced a smile: "Master Buddha, Xinrong is fine, you don't have to worry."
The more she said this, the more worried the old lady became. Qing'er understood the old lady's thoughts best, so she put her arm around Xinrong.
"You've been busy all day, and I think you're tired. We just picked a room for you, and it's next to Jingyan and me. Would you like to go with you to take a look?"
"Thank you both very much."
The three girls had just gotten acquainted with each other, and Jingyan had a very subtle feeling towards her. In fact, she had not paid much attention to this character when watching the drama. She just thought she was a typical noble lady, but different from Qing'er, she seemed more stubborn.
She was obviously normal in the early stage, but later on she became obsessed with Yongqi. She couldn't understand it.
But when Jingyan actually met Xinrong, he realized that this was not stubbornness at all, it was simply a bit of a fool.
Is Xinrong not smart? She is obviously smart, but her emotional intelligence seems to be lacking. Moreover, she is very pretty, but she sits there blankly and doesn't say anything, like a pretty doll.
"Xinrong," Jingyan hesitated to speak, wanting to test the waters but afraid of being too presumptuous. But if he didn't ask, he always felt that the Fifth Prince was not worthy of Xinrong. Could he really just watch Xinrong follow in the footsteps of the character in the drama?
"what's wrong?"
Xinrong was no longer angry now. After all, she had won the argument just now. Now when she heard Jingyan calling her, she looked up with her eyes shining.
Seeing Xinrong looking at him eagerly, Jingyan suddenly smiled.
Qing'er glanced at Jingyan, wondering why she was acting so strangely.
Jingyan hesitated for a while, but decided to get straight to the point. Otherwise, she was afraid that if she beat around the bush, the person in front of her wouldn't understand.
"Xinrong, what the Fifth Prince said to you just now wasn't something nice, was it?"
Sure enough, Xinrong nodded: "He told me that he has a lover and asked me to ask the old Buddha to cancel the engagement."
The Fifth Prince is so irresponsible. He wants to cancel the engagement but keeps forcing his mother and Xinrong. Logically speaking, the emperor has granted the marriage. Not only does Xinrong not dare to cancel it, even Guanbao may not dare to refuse it.
Seeing Jingyan's imagination running wild and his anger about to swell, Qing'er quickly asked, "So what did you say?"
Xinrong shook her head: "I said I wouldn't go, and let him go. If he has the ability, he can cancel the engagement."
Jingyan chuckled, and the anger he had just felt was instantly released. This would surely piss the Fifth Prince off to death. It had to be said that Xinrong had to come and cure this kind of madman.
"However, I am still a little curious. I wonder if the sisters can help me clear it up?"
"Of course, let's go inside and talk."
The three girls gathered around the tea table, waiting for Xinrong to ask questions.
In fact, Xinrong was curious. After all, she had just arrived and naturally knew nothing.
"Do you know anything about the relationship between Xiaoyanzi and the Fifth Prince? Who is she?"
This is a long story. Jingyan was the main speaker and Qing'er supplemented it, trying to explain Xiaoyanzi's identity and the Fifth Prince's origins as briefly as possible.
"As for when they got together, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager probably don't know, but we youngsters can tell."
Xinrong listened very carefully. Of course, she was also shocked in her heart. How could there be such a woman? How could the Fifth Prince like such a woman? Everything was impacting Xinrong's cognition.
"So, if they are doing this, doesn't that mean they are secretly colluding with each other?"
"Poof!" Jingyan successfully spit out the tea that he had just drunk. The problem was that looking at Xinrong's inquiring eyes, Jingyan really couldn't say anything.
Qing'er patted Jingyan's back gently. Xinrong was a little flustered, worried that he had said something wrong.
Jingyan waved his hands repeatedly, and Qing'er said helplessly: "We don't know either, but this matter is really complicated. Their situation is...ah."
"Yes, but I've never thought about it that way. I'm a little shocked. It seems that's not wrong to say that, right?"
After all, the two have been in love for so long but have never made it clear to their elders. In the eyes of Xinrong, a lady from a wealthy family, this must be very unusual.
"Xinrong, what do you think about your marriage?"
"I don't really care. I have to get married anyway. The Fifth Prince is a good fit. My father and mother are very satisfied. The old Buddha and Concubine Yu also like me very much. Besides, I can play with you guys after I marry into this family. It's pretty good."
"But the Fifth Prince has someone he likes."
"Yes, he has someone he likes, but isn't Xiaoyanzi from a low-class family? She shouldn't be worthy of being the Fifth Prince's wife, right? I don't mind the Fifth Prince taking her in."
In the end, the Fifth Prince will definitely take a concubine, no matter who it is. All she has to do is to control these concubines and ensure the stability of the family.
