Chapter 1171: Marriage
The maids listened to her take the initiative to ask, and after looking at each other in surprise a few times, they scrambled to speak.
"Of course! Now the young handsome man of the demon clan belongs to him and the Vientiane Demon King. However, there are too many harems of the Vientiane Demon King, with a wife on the left and a wife on the right, which always makes people feel insecure. How can it be like our Fire Phoenix King, who is handsome, and he has not married in a room so far, I heard that even Princess Guan Xuan of the Demon Clan had blue eyes for him before!"
"That's right, and the old Phoenix King and our Phoenix King have been friends for many years, if you marry the past, the Fire Phoenix King will definitely spoil you very much!"
Feng Xinyan listened to them expressionlessly, just raising her eyebrows and staring at the beauty in the mirror.
Flowing clouds and sideburns, hibiscus face, and a phoenix feather flower in the center of the eyebrows, dragging out brilliant fireworks. The narrow shadow dragged out at the tail of the eyes decorated a pair of bright eyes. The red lips are lightly pursed, and they are delicate. Gu Pan is full of love, and she is really a peerless beauty.
The maids in public were still doing everything possible to boast about the benefits of the Fire Phoenix King, but in Feng Xinyan's eyes, there was finally a trace of sneer, and soon it turned into charm again.
"Okay, go and tell my father that I will marry. β
The princess finally promised to marry herself, and the news soon caused a sensation in the Feng clan.
In the main hall, King Feng laughed and looked at his daughter in front of him with satisfaction.
"Xinyan, it's great that you can figure it out! Father has been worrying about your marriage!"
Feng Xinyan, who was dressed in bright red clothes, bowed slightly in front of him, and his demeanor was dignified and generous: "Father Lao is worried, is it his heart." β
Then, she was still smiling gently, and she was absolutely picturesque.
"Xinyan has already thought clearly, the male should get married, the female should marry, not to mention that the marriage is made by the father and the old Huang King, and it will not make people say that our Feng clan has no faith in their words. β
Looking at King Feng, who nodded again and again and smiled from ear to ear, Feng Xinyan sneered in his heart, and suddenly changed the conversation again.
"However, for the sake of Xinyan and the dignity of the Feng clan, this marriage must be done in a beautiful manner. β
She walked slowly, her bright red clothes dragging all the way on the carpet, as if dissolving a ball of blood.
"I want ten miles of red makeup, ten thousand taels of wealth, the wedding banquet will last for three days and three nights, all the wedding props must be the most expensive, and we must achieve an unprecedented grand occasion!" she recounted in a deep voice, with only the fanaticism of the layout in her eyes, and no more shyness of the bride, "In addition, we must also send out invitations and invite guests from all over the world, so that our marriage will become the most grand event in the entire demon clan!"
If everyone knew the news of the upcoming marriage between the Phoenix Clan and the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Imperial City would ...... He must have known, too.
All the grandeur, all the extreme luxury, was just for his ears.
So, what will he do?
King Feng was in a good mood at this time, as long as his daughter was willing to agree, it was all good to say, so he nodded again and again: "These are no problem!
"Also," Feng Xinyan's red lips moved lightly, and once again threw out a huge temptation, "I want the Fire Phoenix Clan, and use half of the resources in the clan as a dowry to show my sincerity." β
Imperial City, you wait and see...... Some people are willing to use half of the rivers and mountains as an hire to weave a dream of red dust for me. He can do it...... What about you?
"This ......" King Feng didn't expect his daughter to make such a request, he was stunned, and couldn't help whispering, "Half of the resources, will it be a little too much?"
"What," Feng Xinyan didn't retreat here, "Isn't my dignified Feng clan princess worth this half of the resources?"
Feng Wang just wanted to persuade again, but after thinking about it, after she married into the Huohuang clan, the two clans are a family, and resources are shared, and this dowry is nothing more than from the left pocket to the right pocket, which not only has the dignity of the Feng clan, but it should not be too difficult for Bei Zeyi.
With this thought, he laughed heartily: "That's right! If you want to marry the daughter of this king, you naturally have to show sincerity." β
Suddenly, he remembered something again, and asked tentatively, "That Xinyan, ...... the past life you once mentioned?"
"Since it is the love of the previous life, it is naturally better to be buried in the previous life. Feng Xinyan replied expressionlessly, and there was indeed no slight hint in his eyes.
King Feng was on a happy occasion, so he didn't think about it deeply, but when his daughter really put it down, he folded his hands together happily and blurted out to himself: "Brother Huang, I can finally explain to you when I can watch Yi'er and Xinyan get married!"
Feng Xinyan looked at him coldly. In the final analysis, what my father values is nothing more than a promise to his old friends, not his own happiness in life at all.
Yes, no matter how outstanding the princess is, she will marry after all. It is impossible to be in charge of the Feng Clan, but to have a suitable home and expand the allies for the Feng Clan is the best deal.
Bei Zeyi, since everyone wants to tie me and you together, then you will bear all my ups and downs in the future...... Don't blame me, this is the future that your father set for us when he was alive and joined forces with my father.
At the corner of her mouth, an elegant but cold arc slowly rose. It's so beautiful, but it's also so cruel.
β¦β¦
Next, it's time to customize the wedding dress for Feng Xinyan.
The Feng clan moved up and down, and a table of big red fabrics was lined up in the room, and a group of maidservants surrounded her, accompanying her to choose and try on.
The princess, who made the whole clan proud, is finally getting married. Her grand wedding banquet will definitely push the Feng clan to another peak! And the sewing of the wedding dress is the last stop before the princess gets married, and they must help to take care of this pass.
Feng Xinyan is like a dignified puppet, always smiling, at their mercy.
Her hand stroked the fabric inch by inch, feeling the texture of the satin. The cold softness eroded her fingertips, causing a series of shivers in her heart.
Once, she also happily chose the wedding dress like this, looking forward to marrying the man she loved.
At that time, she was a real girl to be married, and her heart was full of sweetness and expectations for marriage.
But now, she can't get back to that state of mind.
She is not a twenty-year-old woman, nor does she have the innocence that a twenty-year-old should have, her heart is like an ancient well, precipitating thousands of years of vicissitudes.
Let the maidservants dress themselves, the beauty of the Allure City in the mirror is more and more enchanting, but Feng Xinyan has a kind of confusion in her heart, which is constantly growing.
Who am I? Who am I? Whose life am I living?
Thousands of years ago, the self who loved and hurt was already dead...... Killed by the hands of his beloved...... If she hadn't had that memory, she would have been a brand new Feng Xinyan.
But why do you want her to remember? Why do you want her to continue a love entanglement thousands of years ago?
I am who I am and I am not me......
Looking at himself in the mirror, she was supposed to be the perfect bride who was about to get married, but the heavy fat powder and the red wedding dress made Feng Xinyan feel dazzling for no reason.
"Who wears makeup, who wears gorgeous clothes, and who cries for red powder......"
"Imperial City, in this life, you have lost my ...... after all"
She muttered to herself, and a tear finally slipped from the corner of her eye, wetting the red wedding dress.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Sensing her abnormality, the maidservants also panicked, "Why is the princess crying?"
Feng Xinyan looked at the faces in front of her, forcibly suppressed the dizziness in her head, and wiped her tears with a wry smile.
"I'm fine. Maybe it's the first time you've married...... I can't bear my father, and you. β
The maidservants breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately comforted with joy on their faces: "Girls are like this when they first get married. Fortunately, the two clans have always had a deep friendship, and even if the princess becomes the queen of the Fire Phoenix, she can still go back to the Phoenix clan often!"
Feng Xinyan cooperated with a slight bow, and when the others made a fuss again, only she showed a helpless wry smile to herself in the mirror.
Finally, the selection of the wedding dress came to an end. Feng Xinyan wore a golden robe, came to the ancestral hall of the Feng clan alone, knelt in front of the tablets of the ancestors and prayed.
Before the princess got married, it was also the rule of all ethnic groups to come to worship the ancestors of other ethnic groups. Therefore, Feng Xinyan's actions did not attract any doubts.
In the solemn hall, Feng Xinyan knelt silently, with a rare piety on his face.
Because she has the memories of her past life, she has never had much affection for her current parents and friends around her, only an indifferent look at strange juniors.
But the ancestors of these Feng clans, after all, were also her ancestors. Her willfulness is likely to bring danger to the Feng clan, and she has to come to pray for inner peace.
I don't know how long it took, but there was an old sigh from behind.
"Has the princess really decided to get married?"
Feng Xinyan still maintained a kneeling posture, turned her eyes, and called out softly: "Granny Feng." β
The old woman in front of her is the nurse who took care of her when she was a child, and she is the only one who believes that she has memories of her past life. For so many years, she has only talked about her thoughts.
Granny Feng sighed lightly, stroked her soft long hair, and knelt down beside her: "Mother-in-law knows, you made such a big fuss just to lure out that man. But if he doesn't come, you really want to marry the Fire Phoenix King, and just spend your life like this?"
"Take a step back, if he comes, how are you going to deal with yourself?"
Feng Xinyan smiled stiffly and bitterly: "If he doesn't come, my heart will already be dead, and who to marry is not to marry." β
"If he comes......" Even if she is as indifferent as her, her voice fluctuates slightly when she talks about this hypothesis, "I just want an answer, did he love me a thousand years ago?"
Granny Feng let out a long sigh and looked at her reluctantly: "Listening to my mother-in-law's advice, most of the people who can ask this question already have the answer in their hearts, but they just don't want to admit it." β
"If a person really loves you, his words and deeds will naturally be full of love, so why ask?"
Oh, yes...... Feng Xinyan shook his head again and smiled bitterly, maybe you don't know, what kind of person loves you, but a person who can kill you with his own hands must not love you.
"Perhaps, I just want to give myself an explanation. Let me see clearly what kind of person I once gave my infatuation. β
When you see clearly, your heart can die faster.
Granny Feng shook her head, and also looked at those ancestral tablets.
"Even if everything is as the princess wishes...... That person will kill all sides in order to regain the princess, but his hatred will inevitably implicate the two races, does the princess really stop thinking more about those innocent lives?"
Feng Xinyan sneered and straightened up, with a special stubbornness in his eyes: "My father, just to fulfill the promise I made to my old friend, I will fulfill him...... Fire Phoenix King, he is just for the resources of the Feng Clan, as well as my beauty, and I will fulfill him...... I have fulfilled them in everything, and even if there is any trouble, it is not something I can predict. β
"Since no one has ever really thought about me by my side, why, I have to think about them?"
Granny Feng could only sigh. Yu Li, this involves a great crisis between the two clans, and she should report to King Feng as soon as possible to deal with it. But Yu Qing, how can she give up this little princess who has already suffered too much damage?
Maybe no one is wrong, it's just the man...... The man called Imperial City.
"Princess, for so many years, I have also suffered from you......" Granny Feng took Feng Xinyan and let her lean into her arms. At the same time, he raised his gaze slightly, so as not to let himself see her tears slipping down.
β¦β¦
The princess of the Feng clan promised to marry, and it was quickly reported to the Huohuang clan by a special person.
After the capture of the Mountain Leopard Clan before, Bei Zeyi found out again that the old man of the Vientiane Demon Domain was said to be carrying several pieces of Fang Tian Baoding fragments on his body, and some people saw that he had been haunted by the Blood Pattern Dragon Clan.
In order to find the fragments, Ruan Shi and Bei Zeyi had already teamed up early in the morning and went to the Blood-Patterned Dragon Clan to look for the stinger. Now those who remain in the Fire Phoenix Domain are the only ones who came here before, the Vientiane Demon Queen and Concubine, Shen Yating and Bei Zeqing.
Hearing the Feng clan's statement, Bei Zeqing only cared about being happy for her brother, but Shen Yating frowned suspiciously.
"It's a strange thing, isn't it? She insisted on not marrying before, but now why did she easily agree? Since she agreed, why didn't she even want to come and see her fiancΓ© in person?"
Bei Zeqing only looked at the several large boxes of gifts sent by the Feng clan, and always had a warm smile on her face: "Xu is sister is too worried." When a woman marries and obeys her husband, she should regard her husband as her heaven, and it is also her duty as a wife to bear children for her husband. Then the princess of the Feng clan, how could she be unfavorable to her future husband?"
Her skillful answer made Shen Yating slightly stunned: "Is this the case with your demon clan? But who is it that stipulates that we women must be slaves to men? Haven't you thought about working hard to cultivate and being the queen by yourself in the future?"
Kitazawa shook her head gently: "Of course not." No matter how strong her cultivation is, a woman still has to get married. How can she be a complete woman without a husband and children?"
"Sister, don't say such things again, if you tell the king, he will be unhappy. β
Looking at Bei Zeqing like this, she was servile, but she was enjoying it, Shen Yating suddenly smiled bitterly.
This is the favorite concubine of the kings...... With such obedience, even the instinct to resist has been wiped out, and they feel that they should be their husbands' fertility machines, and they are proud of it......
It's no wonder that she is not to blame, after all, the education she received since she was a child is to train her to be such a well-behaved and docile woman in order to please her future husband...... It's no wonder that compared with himself, the king really likes to go to Concubine Qing's room. With such women, they don't have to bother at all, as long as they enjoy their gentleness......
But...... Shen Yating frowned lightly, the princess of the Feng clan, although she had never met her, she just felt that she should not be the same woman......
A woman who has the courage to refuse marriage for many years will really put on a wedding dress honestly because of the secular practice of "women should marry"......?
