Chapter 622: Conversation deepens and confirms feelings
Leng Rongyue imagined the bizarre operation of Emperor Hong De back then, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised him!
Xiao Jingyu continued, "Since then, there have still been people who have submitted memorials to offer advice;
There were also those who made suggestions in the palace...
However, no court official dared to threaten to die in order to remonstrate with the emperor!
That thin-skinned coffin was placed in the Golden Palace for a full month!
Later, the ministers begged on their knees many times;
It was also the time when your grandfather returned triumphantly and the whole country celebrated...
The thin-skinned coffin disappeared from the Golden Throne Hall."
At this point, Xiao Jingyu looked at Leng Rongyue, "Yue'er, now you know that my father is not so easily coerced by court officials, right?"
Leng Rongyue nodded sincerely.
I thought to myself: I never expected that the current Emperor Hongde is such a monarch!
Be independent-minded, courageous, responsible, and value your promises!
Since ancient times, sons have generally resembled their fathers.
Xiao Jingyu is the son of Emperor Hongde. I believe that under the guidance of Emperor Hongde, he should be a real man who is responsible and values his promises!
"Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, is able to stick to his pre-marriage promise and remain steadfast in his determination. I truly admire you from the bottom of my heart!"
The admiration that Leng Rongyue expressed was absolutely from the heart.
“However, today’s events are of a different nature from the events that the Emperor experienced back then.
Compared with the major events of the country and the court, today's events... are also trivial matters.
I don't want the emperor to be disturbed by the advice of the ministers because of this matter;
I don’t want them to question whether the emperor is a monarch who doesn’t know the importance of things and loses the big picture because of small things!”
Having said that, Leng Rongyue sighed softly and lowered her head again.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, this matter... let's take a long-term view!
Even though the emperor has the majesty of an emperor;
His Royal Highness Prince Yu has his own persistence.
But...what about my grandfather's family in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?
I cannot let the reputation of "the daughter of a traitor" affect the reputation of my grandfather's family."
Xiao Jingyu could fully understand Leng Rongyue's multiple concerns.
After all, Leng Rongyue is of a different identity from himself;
The positions they are in are different;
The concerns vary.
However, since he wanted to stay with Leng Rongyue for the rest of his life, he had to stand shoulder to shoulder with her and face the same things together.
Xiao Jingyu directly said what was in his mind at the moment.
"So... Yue'er, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is not only for you to protect, but also for me, Xiao Jingyu.
I, Xiao Jingyu, promise that the Anguo Mansion will not be affected in the slightest because of this matter.
Moreover……"
Xiao Jingyu thought of Anguogong Fu Peng;
Thinking of the family of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yue'er, do you want to... make a bet with me?"
"bet?
What are you betting on?
Leng Rongyue asked with eyes wide open.
"Let's bet... your grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt and your brothers, whether they would mind your reputation as the 'daughter of a guilty minister';
Would you agree that Yue Er should break off the engagement with me?"
"I do not have……"
The denial burst out.
Leng Rongyue actually wanted to say...
I didn’t want to break up the marriage;
It’s not that I want to break off the engagement;
But under the current circumstances, the imperial decree of marriage and the marriage contract are actually dead in name only!
The engagement no longer exists, so there is no question of whether to cancel the engagement or regret it.
But Xiao Jingyu interrupted Leng Rongyue's next words at this moment and directly changed the meaning of Leng Rongyue's words.
"I know Yue'er doesn't want to regret the engagement.
But Yue'er was thinking about my father;
Think of me;
I am also thinking about the Anguo Mansion...
It is a helpless move under the current pressure;
It was a decision made out of necessity!
If all these so-called pressures didn't exist, Yue'er wouldn't regret the marriage, right?"
What I mean... can it be explained this way?
Leng Rongyue looked at Xiao Jingyu helplessly.
Xiao Jingyu smiled lightly and looked up at the sky.
“Yue’er, it’s getting late, let’s walk back to the temple slowly.
It’s time for iftar in the mosque.”
Leng Rongyue looked at Xiao Jingyu, who now looked relaxed, and sighed secretly...
Xiao Jingyu might be too optimistic!
Your own concerns are not unnecessary.
Afterwards, all of this was bound to happen and had to be faced.
It's easier said than done to calm all this.
But, after talking to Xiao Jingyu for so long, and then listening to Xiao Jingyu's response...
Leng Rongyue realized that after saying so much, in the end... it was all in vain!
Not only was it all in vain, it felt like... like I had confirmed my feelings for Xiao Jingyu about this relationship!
It was like expressing his views and stance on this engagement——
If there were no such resistance;
If there were no pressure...
I am willing to be with Xiao Jingyu.
Or in other words, I like Xiao Jingyu;
She has feelings for Xiao Jingyu.
The meaning of canceling the engagement that I originally wanted to express... was clearly expressed...
I just don't know why, it seems... it seems that I was led astray by Xiao Jingyu...
I had clearly made up my mind, but now it seems that it's not the imperial decree granting the marriage that is invalid, but my own decision!
Leng Rongyue thought, looking at the current situation, no matter how much she said or explained, Xiao Jingyu would not listen.
Or...when he really faces what he has to face, he will truly know that his concerns are not groundless worries, but the reality they have to face.
By then, if he can still hold on, then I will...
