C160 Were You Willing to Marry Me?
Yun Hong did not need to kneel anymore. He had the special pardon of Long Zixuan and enjoyed special privileges.
Feng Yu immediately turned around and saw a red carpet spread out on the bluestone path behind the flowers. A dark purple figure was approaching from afar. Chi Xing and Chi Yue were following behind him.
He walked over very quickly. When he walked to Feng Yu’s side, he stopped. He looked at Feng Yu with a cold expression in his eyes.
Feng Yu was stunned. Why did it seem like her master had become even more beautiful after only a few days? This change was obvious. She could tell at a glance.
His facial features were still the same, but he seemed to be even more beautiful. His face from before was already very perfect. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that his looks could be even more beautiful.
Long Zixuan glanced at her indifferently and then walked toward Beiming Jiuli. Feng Yu looked at his dark shadow and started to think.
Her master looked at her coldly. When he looked at her in the past, it was either evil or seductive. He had never looked at her with this kind of expression before. Could it be that she did not look at him before she went to the Eastern Wasteland Forest, which made him angry?
“Everyone, please get up and sit.”
Just as she was thinking about it, a familiar voice sounded in her ears. The voice was as charming as usual. It was as if the coldness from before was just Feng Yu’s illusion.
"Thank you, Master."
The ladies sat down. Beiming Xue's eyes were staring at Long Zixuan. She didn't hide her infatuation at all. Many of the ladies were cursing and despising him.
Long Zixuan was both talented and handsome. He was powerful and supreme. He was the target of all the ladies in the Hao Yuan Empire. How could they bear other women to look at him so blatantly?
Even the princess couldn't.
Feng Yu didn't know that the ladies were secretly jealous. She sat down in her chair absent-mindedly. She didn't know what she was thinking.
"Third Sister, what happened to you?"
Yun Yixuan's gentle voice sounded in her ears. Feng Yu looked back at him and shook her head. "I am fine, Brother."
It was just weird. It was weird about her master's change.
"All of you, today is the birthday of Princess Lingyan. So, we held this banquet to celebrate her birthday…"
After the ministers sat down, Beiming Jiuli stood up from the stage. He held a cup of wine in his hand and started to talk to the ministers.
Feng Yu didn't hear what he said at all. Her eyes fell on Long Zixuan. She looked up and saw that he was holding a cup of wine. He seemed to be drinking by himself and didn't care about anyone.
Master seemed to have something on her mind. Feng Yu took a sip of the tea in front of her and started thinking fast. She didn’t notice that Beiming Chen was looking at her with his dark eyes.
Yue Lingyan, who was beside Beiming Xue, looked at Beiming Chen and then Feng Yu. She clenched her fists.
Beiming Chen was not the only one who was looking at Feng Yu. Beiming Hao, who was wrapped in bandages, also looked at Feng Yu. He remembered the scene when his forehead was smashed. His forehead hurt again and again. His eyes were full of hatred.
Luckily, he had good self-control. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked away. Yun Yixuan was holding a cup of liquor in his hand. He glanced at Beiming Hao coldly. When he saw the cotton bandages on his forehead, he smiled.
The third sister didn’t lie to him. She didn’t lose anything.
After Beiming Jiu Li talked for a long time, he started to say the names of the treasures. Apparently, all of them were given to Yue Lingyan. This kind of love had made so many ladies jealous and envious.
However, it was useless to be jealous and envious. After all, they were not Yue Lingyan.
After Beiming Jiu Li finished speaking, Yue Lingyan, who was dressed in purple, got up from her seat elegantly. She walked to the stage and knelt down to him.
“Lingyan, thank you for your love.”
Nine Li smiled and said, “Of course. Princess Lingyan is the bright pearl of our Hao Yuan Empire. She deserves such honor.”
After Yue Lingyan accepted the gift, the ceremony that the Ministry of Rites prepared for her started. There were not many things to do, but each of them was quite interesting. After half an hour, all the things that the Ministry of Rites prepared for her finally came to an end.
Nine Li suddenly looked at Feng Yu. Feng Yu’s heart skipped a beat. She guessed that it was time to announce the marriage between her and Beiming Hao.
As expected, Beiming Hao said in a dignified voice, “Little girl Feng.”
After he spoke, Long Zixuan immediately looked at Feng Yu. Not only him, but everyone else looked at Feng Yu. Feng Yu forced herself to stand up and said, “Your Majesty, I am here.”
Nine Li nodded and looked at Beiming Hao. “Eleventh.”
“Father, I am here.”
Beiming Hao immediately got off his seat and knelt down in front of the stage. His head was almost touching the ground. It was obvious that he was afraid of Nine Li.
The ministers looked at Beiming Hao and then looked at Feng Yu. They thought about their marriage and guessed that the Emperor was going to make the wedding for them.
“Eleventh. When you were four years old, I gave you and little girl Feng a marriage. I admit that I didn’t think about the two of you. Now, little girl Feng is going to get married in a month. When she is about to get married, I heard that you are not willing to marry her. Now, I will ask you in front of all the ministers of the court whether you are willing to marry her as a concubine or not.”
Bei Ming Jiu looked at Bei Minghao who was kneeling on the ground. His dignified face was imposing. After he finished speaking, Yun Hong and Yun Yuxuan were the most shocked. The two of them looked at each other and started to guess what Bei Ming Jiu was thinking.
A coldness appeared on Bei Minghao’s back. He couldn’t understand why his father would suddenly ask about his wish. Was his father really concerned about his wish?
If it was a few days ago, he would have said that he didn’t want to marry her. However, he suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to marry her now. He wanted to torture her and then divorce her.
However, although his father was asking about his wish, why did he feel that his father wanted him to say that he didn’t want to marry her?
Bei Minghao’s mind was in a mess. Compared to his father’s happiness and anger, his little plan was no longer important. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, “I will follow my father’s decision.”
That shouldn’t be wrong, right?
If his father wanted him to marry, he would marry. If his father didn’t want him to marry, then he could only give up on his little plan. He could be considered lucky.
Hearing Bei Minghao’s answer, Bei Ming Jiu seemed to be unhappy. He snorted and said, “Let me ask again. Are you willing to marry Feng Zi as your concubine?”
Bei Minghao was dumbfounded. If his father was unhappy with his answer, then did he want him to marry? He gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. “Father, I am willing.”
Bei Ming Jiu looked at him coldly and said in a dignified voice, “Have you thought about it? Are you willing?”
Bei Ming Hao’s cold eyes made him sweat. Was his father really hoping that he would say no?
He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He said, “Replying to my father, I am not willing.”
“Good.”
Bei Ming Jiu was satisfied. He smiled, but all the ministers were dumbfounded. Then, they realized that their father had thought about the fact that Yun San couldn’t cultivate and that she was not good enough to marry into the imperial family.
Bei Ming Hao secretly felt relieved. So, his father didn’t want him to marry that ugly girl. As for the reason, he couldn’t think of it for now.
Suspicion flashed through Yun Hong’s eyes. What was the Emperor trying to do? Why didn’t he understand?
“My beloved ministers, Old General Yun,” Bei Ming Jiu looked at the crowd and said in a dignified voice, “Since my Eleventh Prince is not willing to marry Feng Yu, I will announce that they are no longer related to each other.”
From the beginning to the end, he didn’t ask for Feng Yu’s permission.
With the preparation in the beginning, his words were expected. Everyone looked at Feng Yu sympathetically. They felt sorry that she was abandoned by the imperial family so easily.
However, Beiming Xue was excited. She looked at Feng Yu with glee. She was so happy that she couldn’t control herself. This ugly bastard was kicked out of the marriage by her father. She wanted to see how arrogant she would be in the future.
But soon, Beiming Jiuli spoke again.
“However, I have already decided that Feng Yu will be the daughter-in-law of the Beiming Family. Since Prince Eleventh is not willing to marry Feng Yu, I will give Feng Yu to Prince Chen. Prince Chen is also at the age of marriage. Now, I want to ask Prince Chen, are you willing to marry Feng Yu as a concubine? If you are, I will immediately marry you.”
His words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone. The ministers looked at Prince Chen, who was named by the Emperor, in disbelief. This was the first time they saw the low-profile and mysterious Prince Chen.
They all knew that Prince Chen was the Ninth Prince of the Emperor, but they had only heard of him. Today, they saw him for the first time and noticed a handsome man.
His clothes were like ink, as beautiful as a fairy. He looked like a snowy mountain, but his temperament was unique. He was as cold as ice lotuses, and he was so charming. Just one look at him would make people feel that he was so noble that no one could disrespect him.
In terms of appearance, he was not as good as Prince Si, but he was so handsome that no one could compare to him. Just his face or his cold aura alone could attract so many women.
Now, he was going to get married to a woman like that?
She was notorious and infamous. Not only that, her face was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at. They had all seen her unparalleled ugly face.
They thought that the Emperor disliked her ugly face and that she was not worthy to marry into the imperial family. That was why he asked the Eleventh Prince to cancel the marriage. They didn’t expect that the Emperor would give her to Prince Chen in the blink of an eye. Wasn’t this tarnishing Prince Chen’s reputation?
What did she feed the Emperor with to make the Emperor so muddleheaded that he would ruin her son so ruthlessly?
No matter how hard the ministers thought about it, they couldn’t figure out the reason. However, Prince Chen probably wouldn’t be willing to marry Yun San. After all, no man would be willing to marry her.
Beiming Hao looked at Feng Yu in shock, then looked at Beiming Chen. Then, he looked at Yue Lingyan. He found that Yue Lingyan’s face was also pale. She was also shocked. He was secretly excited in his heart.
That’s good. He can give this ugly monster to Beiming Chen. He won’t have to worry about Beiming Chen snatching Lingyan from him.
