These women seem to be the family members of the officials who have come to congratulate today, some old and some young, chatting.

A middle-aged lady said: "This prince of Nanqing is really young and handsome, the father and son look really alike, I heard that it is useless to even recognize relatives with blood, so the prince recognized this son." ”

"No, I was rescued from the court. Tsk, isn't this the same as the song in the play? ”

Another woman said.

"Have you heard? The Queen Mother fell in love with the prince and wanted to marry her niece, the daughter of the British duke, to him. A woman said mysteriously.

"Really? But how did I hear that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been married, and the woman is said to be the benefactor of the Prince? ”

"It seems to be yes, but so what, it's just the daughter of a merchant. If it is an ordinary family, it is not impossible to be a concubine, but how can the daughter of an English prince coexist with a businesswoman? ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that this woman lives in the palace now? I'm still waiting to marry the son! This is miserable! I don't know if there is a husband and wife. ”

"Ahem, I've lived in the palace for so long, do you need to say? Not only can't you be a lady now, but you can't even be a concubine, alas... It's also strange and pitiful. ”

"What's so pitiful, not that life, but delusional, who is to blame?"

There was a shrill laugh.

Jiang Xinyue only felt that her hands and feet were cold, as if she had been nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move half a step.

Ziyan was already crying angrily, and rushed out to reason with them, but was pulled by Jiang Xinyue.

"Miss, how can they say that about you, I'm going to scold them!" Ziyan cried.

"Nope! What do they do? I'm going to find Xiao Qiye. ”

At the banquet in the main hall, there was a lot of laughter and crowds, but she didn't find Xiao Qiye.

The housekeeper greeted him, "Miss Jiang, are you looking for His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Jiang Xinyue nodded. "Where is he?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince and the Lord are in the study," the butler said respectfully.

Jiang Xinyue was a little strange, this father and son were not entertaining guests in front of the hall, what were they doing in the study?

She hurriedly came to the study, only to see that the door was closed, and she was hesitating to knock on the door, when Xiao Qiye came from inside

sounds.

"Father, you promised me that when I was named in the spring, you would let me and Xinyue get married."

"But now it's the queen mother's meaning! Can I disobey? ”

"Father! How could the Queen Mother recognize me in such a short period of time? You're asking for this marriage, right? You didn't want Xinyue to come in the door from the beginning to the end. Xiao Qiye's voice was irrepressible with anger.

"So what? The princess of Nanqing Wangfu can never be a merchant woman! I originally wanted to wait for you to get married before taking her in, but I don't think she is willing to be a concubine, right? I heard that she also wants to move her business to the capital? Open your door to business? Do you want Nanqing Wangfu to become the laughing stock of the entire capital? Xiao Sui was also angry.

The room fell silent, except for the sound of heavy breathing.

Xiao Xuan stabilized her emotions, and then said: "You didn't announce your marriage contract with her after the canonization ceremony today, which means that you also know in your heart that what I said is correct, right?" You have a love affair with her, and there will be an opportunity to compensate her in the future. But you are not the owner of the pharmacy now, you are the prince of Nanqing! You have a responsibility on your shoulders, not only for the future of the Nanqing Palace, but also for the Great Xia Dynasty! Your princess must be the daughter of a famous family, do you understand?! ”

Xiao Xuan's voice became higher and higher, almost roaring.

"Father, I, I," Xiao Qiye's voice was full of contradictions and struggles.

Jiang Xinyue's heart was cold. Xiao Qiye's hesitant voice shattered her last illusions and hopes.

She has been stubbornly waiting, and the end is self-inflicted humiliation! As small as her, how can she compete with King Nanqing?

Why did she think that Xiao Qiye would choose her between her and her glory and wealth and a bright future?

Jiang Xinyue turned around in despair. Such a feast, no one will find out about her departure.

Even if she loses nothing, she will leave behind the only pride she has left.

She poured everything into this relationship, without complaint or regret, but after all, she did not wait for the corresponding return.

She stayed here, just to make Xiao Qiye embarrassed, he had affection for her, but this affection was not enough compared to his lofty itinerary, dazzling power, and weight.

Jiang Xinyue looked back at the high gatehouse of the palace and the carved beams and painted houses, and tears still confused her eyes. She said goodbye to the gentle and affectionate young man in her heart.

Xiao Qiye, thank you for giving me this love that is as sweet as honey and as painful as a knife.

At first glance, it is fate, a long time, and a wish. They were thrilled by the encounter in the rain, and they were also obsessed with this first sight, no matter whether they were fortunate or unlucky, they did not hesitate.

I also thought that the city full of flowers was like brocade, just for that person with fragrance, so he gave everything for it. It's a pity that this is a love at first sight, but they don't have a chance to meet each other.
