Chapter 53

  No one knows what he is thinking about.

  Not until Meng Fuying entered the room and finished drinking the cup of tea in his hand did he get up to leave.

  Qing Zhu's lip corners twitched again, these people were really one more bizarre than the other.

  The next morning, an imperial edict was issued.

  It turned out that it was the day of the fixed marriage, and what made Meng Fu Ying even more shocked was that the day of the fixed marriage was actually set fifteen days later.

  Isn't this too fast?

  She had thought that no matter what, she would wait for her father to come back before discussing this matter, but didn't expect that the date would be set so quickly.

  Too sudden, caught her off guard, originally, she was thinking...

  Before she could come back to her senses, the Empress Dowager had already summoned her into the palace.

  "The Empress Dowager has already had it calculated, this day is a rare good day that comes once in a hundred years, so it was decided on this day. The Emperor has also sent someone to rush and deliver the message to your father." As soon as they entered the Shouhe Palace, the Empress Dowager said excitedly.

  Meng Fu's heart was somewhat depressed, so the usual smile on his face was gone. After hearing the Empress Dowager's words, he said gloomily, "Time is so tight, Father may not be able to come back."

  "It's all right, even if your father can't make it back in time, isn't there still the Empress Dowager? The Empress Dowager will definitely ensure that you have a grand and glorious marriage." The Empress Dowager was probably too excited and didn't notice Meng Fu Ying's unusual behavior, and continued to speak with an excited face.

  Meng Fu's shadow was shocked, and this matter of emotions had been decided. Even if her father didn't come back, there wouldn't be any changes.

  The one who is getting married is her, but no one has ever cared about her thoughts.

  The empress dowager doted on her, but ultimately didn't understand what was in her heart. What she wanted wasn't that glory and wealth, nor was it that prestigious status. All she wanted was a simple, genuine love.

  "By the way, the Empress Dowager knows you're not good at needlework, so she's already instructed Qing Yatou to help you make your wedding dress. Qing Yatou is clever and skilled with her hands, and her embroidery is one of a kind. With her making your wedding dress, it couldn't be more suitable." The Empress Dowager finally sensed that Meng Fuying was somewhat distracted, and her words paused slightly before she continued, "Why don't I have Qing Zhu take you to see Qing Yatou? You two used to get along so well, but now it seems like you've grown distant from each other."

  Meng Fu Ying's heart was a bit messy at this moment, so she also wanted to go out and get some fresh air. She took the opportunity to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and Qing Zhu, and left Shouhe Palace together with her.

  All the way, Meng Fu Ying kept her eyes slightly downcast, thinking about what she should do next.

  Xuanyuan Ye is very likely to be the emperor of the Xuanyuan dynasty in the future. At that time, there will be countless women in the harem. How can a modern woman like her share a husband with others?

  She can't do it.

  Moreover, she and Xuan Yuan Ye didn't have any feelings for each other anyway.

  So she won't get married.

  However, the imperial decree has been issued, and she is afraid that she cannot say no to the marriage, so she can only think of another way.

  Deep in thought, I suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

  "Seventh Brother, are you really going to marry that ugly monster?" That voice full of ridicule, who else could it be but Xuan Yuan Mo?

  "Nature is really getting married, the day has already been set." Xuan Yuan Chen's voice had a few parts of joy, no matter what, Seventh Brother was going to get married, that was a huge happy event, even if the person he was marrying wasn't quite up to par.

  "Hmph, that ugly freak, how can he be worthy of Seventh Brother?" In Xuan Yuan Mo's voice, there was even more disdain and seemingly a bit more anger.

  "Seventh Brother, why is it her? Why did you choose her?" Xuan Yuanfan's expression was very serious, and his voice seemed to be hiding a few unusual tones.

  Meng Fu Ying's body also subconsciously stiffened for a moment, she had always been curious why Xuan Yuan Ye chose her.

  Is it really just random? Or...

  At this moment, she also wanted to hear how Xuan Yuan Ye would respond.

  Through the weeping willows in front of him, Meng Fu's profile was perfectly visible, his slightly pursed lips seemed to add a few more points of seductive charm, and his nose was even more straight, but still, it was that icy coldness that made people tremble with fear.

  The green bamboo standing behind her face showed a few points of tension, secretly listening to the conversation between the princes, if discovered, feared...

  At this moment, she didn't dare make any sound, fearing that she would startle the several princes in front of her.

  Xuanyuan Ye slowly savored a sip of tea, his lips lightly pursed, but he didn't open his mouth to respond.

  Xuanyuan Fan seemed somewhat urgent and didn't wait for his response, asking again in a low voice, "You wouldn't really be using her, would you? Really just to protect Meng Ruxue?"

  At this moment, his interrogative tone was obviously mixed with a few more parts of anger that even he himself had not noticed. Moreover, this time, he didn't even use any titles, as if somewhat...

  Xuanyuan Ye's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, his already cold and stern profile sank even further, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if there was a hint of unusual danger.

  Meng Fu Ying's body stiffened, her eyes also staring straight at his profile, unblinking, waiting for his response.

  "You've gone too far." Xuan Yuan Ye's lips moved slightly, and the words he spoke also carried a dangerous coldness. As for this matter, he wouldn't explain it to anyone, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

  "I'm going to lose my temper." Xuan Yuan Fan suddenly stood up, his emotions clearly becoming more agitated, the anger in his voice also becoming more apparent. "You're doing this, if the crown prince really takes action, she'll probably be lucky to keep her life, she's innocent, how can you use her like this?"

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes suddenly lifted, staring straight at Xuanyuan Fan. On his face was intense anger and fury, in his eyes there were a few more hints of coldness, or perhaps, secretly hiding a few unusual emotions.

  What's up with her?

  "Huh, why are you so excited? It's her honor to be used by Seventh Brother, and your reaction is too strange. She's just an ugly freak, is she worth it?" Xuan Yuan Mo slightly curled his lip, with a face full of confusion.
