Chapter Seventy-Three: Breaking the Contract and Breaking the Marriage?

Saying that, Yan Zixi knelt down again, "Old Prince Xiao, Zixi doesn't want anything, she just wants to be with Jing Cong, and implore Old Prince Xiao to fulfill it!" ”

Old Prince Xiao put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at Yan Zixi, and sighed.

"Zixi, you get up and speak first."

Old Prince Xiao walked to the window, looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, and carried his hands behind his back, as if he was facing Yan Zixi, and as if he was saying to himself.

"Twenty years! Time flies like a white horse, twenty years have passed, and I really didn't expect to see the daughter of the old man again......"

"Old Prince Xiao, Old Prince Xiao?"

Yan Zixi saw Old Prince Xiao looking out the window, in a daze, and couldn't help but call softly twice in his mouth.

Old Prince Xiao turned around at this time, he glanced at Yan Zixi, and then said again: "Zixi, what do you have on your mind?" ”

"Got it on your mind?" Yan Zixi pondered for a moment in his mouth, and realized that Old Prince Xiao had something to say, but he didn't answer him directly, and he didn't seem to want to agree to this marriage.

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Old Prince Xiao, why do you ask this?" ”

"Zixi, you are a good girl, but the court should not be your home. Cong'er is now the general of Zhenbei Wang, a pillar of the country, and this king hopes that he will put state affairs first. But because of your appearance, he seems to have changed as a different person......"

Old Prince Xiao walked in front of Yan Zixi and said to her in a serious voice.

"Miss Zixi, if you really like my family Cong'er, it shouldn't affect his career and his life, can you understand what I said?"

When Yan Zixi heard what Old Prince Xiao said, her body shook violently, and the whole person was stunned in place as if she had been struck by lightning, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Old Prince Xiao saw that Yan Zixi was silent, so he continued.

"Miss Zixi, if you want to stay in the capital, this king will send someone to prepare a residence in the capital for you, if you don't want to stay in the capital, this king will also send you a coil to ensure that you have no worries in your life, I don't know what Miss Zixi wants?"

"Hehe, I originally thought that Old Prince Xiao was a sensible person, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." Yan Zixi regained her senses and sneered in her mouth.

When Old Prince Xiao heard Yan Zixi's rude words, he was not angry, and still maintained that calmness.

"Miss Zixi, you are very smart, and a smart person should be a smart person's way of doing things. It's not that the king wants to stop your marriage, it's just that some things are not as simple as you think. ”

"Old Lord Xiao, you don't have to explain to me, Zixi understands everything, Zixi will retire, and from now on, she will not set foot in the General's Mansion again."

After speaking, Yan Zixi turned around and walked out of the study.

Xiao Jingcong was pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the study, looking worried.

Seeing Yan Zixi coming out, Xiao Jingcong immediately leaned over and asked anxiously, "Zixi, how is it?" What did my dad say? ”

Yan Zixi glanced at Xiao Jingcong, and ran out crying with a "wow".

"Zixi, Zixi!"

Xiao Jingcong saw Yan Zixi running away, and was about to chase him out, but was stopped by Old Prince Xiao.

Old Prince Xiao walked out of the study and said to Xiao Jingcong, "Cong'er, let her go." The Father had made it clear to her. ”

"Clearly? Dad, what did you say to Zixi? Why did she cry so sadly? Don't...... Are you, like your mother, also rejected this marriage? ”

Xiao Jingcong's eyes were like torches, staring at his father.

"Presumptuous! Cong'er, is this the tone and attitude you have when you talk to your father?! Old Prince Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy, "You can't marry that Yan Zixi." ”

"Why? Is it just because he's a folk wild girl? ”

"Even if not, you can't marry." Old Prince Xiao said categorically, and there was no way to refute it in his tone.

Xiao Jingcong shook her head, "Dad, I don't understand!" Zixi and I already have a marriage contract, not to mention the marriage letter issued by your father personally, but now it is you who broke the contract and quit the marriage, how can you be convincing if you go back on your word like this? Dad, aren't you afraid of attracting criticism? ”

"Shut up! Cong'er, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will never want to see that Yan Zixi in the future! ”

Xiao Jingcong gritted her back molars, trembling with anger, and finally turned around and left without saying a word.

"Cong'er, Cong'er......"

No matter how Old Prince Xiao called him, Xiao Jingcong didn't stop.

"Cong'er will be affected by that woman to this extent, and he must not be allowed to make mistakes again and again......"

Old Prince Xiao took a deep breath and said leisurely: "Cong'er, don't resent Daddy!" Yan Zixi's life experience must not be in the world, otherwise it will definitely cause a catastrophe for the country...... If you want to complain, you should complain that this girl shouldn't have been born in that lonely family......"

……

Yan Zixi trotted all the way out of the General's Mansion, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be controlled, and they rolled down in an uproar.

The guards guarding the gate of the General's Mansion saw Yan Zixi crying and running over, and just wanted to go over to say hello to her, but who knew that they were ruthlessly scolded by Yan Zixi.

"Fuck off!"

Yan Zixi pushed away the guards and ran out of the General's Mansion.

The guards scratched at the back of their heads and muttered for no apparent reason.

"What's wrong with this girl? Didn't you go to see Old Prince Xiao? Why did you run out crying? ”

"Who knows? Maybe Old Prince Xiao scolded her? ”

"Forget it, don't worry about it, it's better to guard my post."

"Hey, you say, if that girl wants to break into the general's mansion again in the future, will we stop it?"

"You're stupid, aren't you? She is a friend of the little marquis, do you dare her? I'm afraid I don't want it, right? ”

The guards talked a lot, and Xiao Jingcong also chased after him all the way.

"Did you see Miss Yan Zixi go out just now?"

Xiao Jingcong ran to the gate and asked the guards.

"Yes, yes, Miss Zixi just ran out crying." The guard replied with a wit.

"In which direction did she run?"

"It should be in the direction of Dongcheng, right?"

Xiao Jingcong nodded, and then chased out in the direction of Dongcheng.

Running wildly all the way, Xiao Jingcong finally saw Yan Zixi crying bitterly at the intersection of the street.

Xiao Jingcong pounced, hugged Yan Zixi in his arms, and comforted him softly.

"Zixi, it's okay, don't cry, don't cry......"

"Jingcong, I'm sorry, I didn't do my best...... Your daddy...... He also didn't approve of our marriage...... Woo ah ah ah ah ......"

Snuggled in Xiao Jingcong's warm embrace, Yan Zixi, who had always been strong, finally couldn't hold back and cried loudly.

For a long, long time, Yan Zixi hadn't cried like this.

For so many years, she has been living a depressed life, and she finally got back on track, but she was persecuted in the Yan family and almost lost her life.

Now that a person has come to the capital and been treated like this again, the grievances in his heart suddenly burst out.

"Jingcong, what should I do...... Woowoowoo......"

"Zixi, don't worry, I'll find a way."

"What else can be done now? Your father and mother don't agree to this marriage, I ...... I ......"

"It's okay, Zixi, you believe me, no one can take your place, only you are the most worthy of being my princess Xiao Jingcong!"

Xiao Jingcong's words made Yan Zixi calm down a little, although she didn't know what Xiao Jingcong could do, but when she heard him say this, she felt a sense of security in her heart.

"Zixi, you will stay in the inn for the time being, and I will send Gonggong Li to inform you of anything."

"That'...... What about you? Yan Zixi stopped crying, raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingcong and asked.

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, melting in Yan Zixi's heart like the sun.

Xiao Jingcong raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears on Yan Zixi's face, and then continued: "I will go back and continue to discuss our marriage with my father and mother." ”

"That'...... So what if your parents just don't agree? Yan Zixi asked with tears in her eyes.

"If they still don't agree, I'll go and ask the Holy One to marry us!" Xiao Jingcong said seriously.

"Jing Cong ......"

Hearing this, Yan Zixi finally stretched her brows.

"Zixi, no matter what happens, no matter who it is, can't stop us from being together. This is my promise to you. ”

"Jing Cong...... Me too......"

The two embraced each other again, and for a moment it was as if the whole world had stood still.

……

Zhenguo General's Mansion, in Mrs. Xiao's room.

The county lord of Qianqian stood on tiptoe, stared outside the door for a long time, and after hearing the news that Yan Zixi was crying and running out, he immediately came back with a smile and reported to Mrs. Xiao.

"Niangniang, I heard that Yan Zixi's dead girl ran out of the general's mansion crying after meeting Old Prince Xiao, could it be that Old Prince Xiao ......?"

The county lord of Qianqian did not finish her words, but Mrs. Xiao already knew what she wanted to say.

Mrs. Xiao took a sip of ginseng tea, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph, Bengong said it a long time ago, it's just a wild girl from the folk, what is our identity Cong'er, and she is also worthy? My master is not a fool, how could he let Cong'er marry such a wild girl? ”

"So Niangniang had already expected it?"

"No, at first, this palace was still a little worried, but after carefully picking up this matter, it naturally understood. Our Xiao family is a royal bloodline, a relative of the royal family, and a military power, and will never let a wild girl of unknown origin become a princess. ”

Mrs. Xiao said and glanced up at the county lord of Qianqian again, and asked angrily.

"Qianqian, you have to work harder, hurry up and get our Cong'er's heart back, but you can't let him be taken away by that wild girl."

"Yes, Niangniang, Qianqian remembers Niangniang's teachings."

"Don't just remember, you have to act quickly, put away your identity as the county lord, get closer to Cong'er, there is a palace in everything, you just have to do it, don't be too shy, you know?"

Lord Qianqian nodded, "Got it, Niangniang, then I'll go find Brother Jingcong?" He must be so sad and sad now, and I can comfort him! ”
