Feng Ru Ai's
Chapter 33

The wedding preparations for the crown prince Rui which will be held the day after tomorrow are almost complete. In addition to the wedding ceremony to be held, the coronation ceremony of crown prince Rui as emperor who replaced the position of emperor Wei will also be held on the same day.

Tomorrow afternoon the daughter of General Holing will be sent to the palace. He sent him to the palace as a sign that until now the Feng family of the generation of generation is still loyal to the emperor's orders and always a servant who holds his promise to the land of MingQi.

Although everyone in the capital MingQi realized that General Holing loved his daughter very much and everyone was sure and knew that General Holing was able to thwart the order. But the Feng family obviously did not want to ruin their good name and family history by breaking promises and becoming a rebel just because of a daughter from their family. In the end they had to let go of their 'precious pearls.

No one knew other than the royal family and the Feng family about who the daughter of General Holing would be with in the marriage that would be carried out in conjunction with the coronation of crown prince Rui. There was no news other than the kingdom lowering the marriage grace to Feng Ru Ai. But there was no word on who he was married to.

It made the MingQi people suspect that the Wei emperor would take another concubine. And that person was Feng Ru Ai. But there are also those who suspect that Ai will be paired with crown prince Rui or prince Yan.

Regardless of the thoughts of the MingQi residents. On the other hand, precisely in the eastern palace of the crown prince Rui's residence. Looks handsome young man is still cool chatting with his sister who is also no less handsome than him.

"Second brother, should this be from tonight your brother calling you the glorious emperor?" Prince Yan asked not to forget to raise his eyebrows teasing crown prince Rui

"Why do you want to call Ben Gong 'the emperor's majesty' that fast? Though you yourself already know that it will only happen the day after tomorrow" asked the crown prince Rui

"Because Ben Wang wants to" replied prince Yan "Tks, second brother is not at all cool!" Added prince Yan clucked

"You know Yan? Only my rank and position changed. We will remain brothers. Even if sooner or later you'll be out of the palace after marriage, we're still brothers!" Tukas crown prince Rui touched the heart.

"Ben Wang was intending to tease second brother, but why did second brother make me want to cry?!" Prince Yan's sigh wiped the corner of his watery eyes.

"Ck, you crybaby" the crown prince Rui taunted followed by a ruckus that made the prince of Yan pout "Ben Wang is not crybaby! Ben Wang was only moved, not sobbing" martial prince Yan who made the crown prince Rui burst open

"Just like!"

The night passed quickly. It did not feel like the morning greeted the residents of MingQi capital. The sun was not yet visible, but the atmosphere in the center of the capital MingQi began to appear alive with all the activities of the residents.

Not only in the center of the capital that seems to be getting busy. In the MingQi palace and also the Feng residence seemed no less busy with all their activities. If the occupants of the kingdom are busy with all the affairs of the bride's welcome, as well as the coronation ceremony and marriage. So the residents of the Feng family are busy with preparing various gifts that will be under Ai before entering the palace.

Everyone is so busy with their work. Only Ai was unhappy. Bad thoughts about the figure of her husband will make her mood worse. There was no smile on her beautiful face. Everything felt flat just like his increasingly flat and narrow thinking about his marriage.

"Miss why do you look so moody? Usually young ladies who are getting married will be restless and nervous. Especially if you think about the night perta----

"Stop teasing me brother Di Yu!" Ai said firmly "Brother Di Yu's temptation sounds like a mockery in my ear" he added with annoyed eyes

Di Yu sipped his saliva with great difficulty. He then looked at Guang who was beside him as if asking 'what's my fault?' Guang only replied to her by shrugging both of her shoulders not knowing.

Guang put his face to Di Yu's ear and said "It would be better if you don't say what you are, young lady kept thinking that the one who will marry him is the noble emperor Wei" he whispered

"That's right!" Shouted Di Yu not believing what Guang said. It was clearly inviting a sharp glare from Ai that looked gloomy and terrifying.

Guang swiftly silenced Di Yu's mouth so as not to let out another shouting sound. If the two make a fuss in their young miss's bad mood. There is no need to be clever to know what steps nonanya take to kick them out.

"Shhtt!"

"You want to die?" Tanya Guang growled

Di Yu shook his head. He then hit Guang's hand that silenced him to immediately escape because even though he had above-flat martial skills. Di Yu can also die if his breathing is on a stopper or silenced like this. Guang, who noticed this, took his hand off. When Guang's hand came off. Di Yu also inhaled the air greedily.

"You almost killed me!" Complain Di Yu

"Tks, it's also because of your own fault" Guang replied

While the two argue. They were unaware that the aura Ai was speaking was getting darker and colder. The girl looked at the two with a sharp look and said "can't you guys not stop the noise and make a noise? If you guys want to fight, then GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!"

Both Guang and Di Yu gasped in shock at the screams of their young miss, they then turned to Ai who was staring at them with murderous gazes. Di Yu then retreated and hid behind Guang's back. He then muttered.

"Why does the young lady look so horrible today?"

Maybe it was just his feelings, he felt that time passed so quickly. It didn't feel like the afternoon had greeted him. Though as he remembered he was just sitting in his residence without moving even a little from the top of his contest.

Behind the open window, Ai looked at the servants of her residence increasingly busy preparing all her needs and needs. For soon he will enter the palace and the next day he will marry.

Ai sighs. Thinking about her getting married with the worst presumption makes some of her unwilling. Ai didn't want to marry the Wei emperor. He does not want to accept reality or the line of destiny. How should he marry a man who is even more worthy of his calling grandfather? How could he have lived the rest of his life with the emperor of Wei who could have been dead. How can he compete with other women just for attention and affection?

But it seems that fate and the goddess of luck are not on his side. Bad presumption about him who will marry the Wei emperor and become a concubine who somehow it continues to disturb his calm.

"Should I just run away?"

On the other hand, precisely in the eastern palace of MingQi kingdom. Crown Prince Rui was seen pacing back and forth in his study. Prince Yan who was from childhood was more familiar with him was only able to shake his head at his brother's behavior.

One of the other reasons why Prince Yan did not have ambitions regarding the throne, power and wealth was because he was so fond of crown prince Rui as his brother. He did not want to stab and betray Prince Rui just because of that. Moreover, the Yan prince was also very bored and depressed continuing to stay in the palace. He wanted to escape the golden cage that was always in the great - glorify its luxury by the residents of MingQi.

It was enough for him to sacrifice his childhood which was usurped by all things political and governmental, but not for his old age. He does not want to suffer for long in a place full of hypocrites and sycophants.

"Your highness, calm yourself down" reprimanded prince Yan indifferently

"How can Ben Gong be calm? Ben Gong was too nervous to wait for his arrival. How can time go so slow?" Reply crown prince Rui slightly complained.

"That's because you think too much about it. Try to do something that makes you forget the matter of young miss Feng who will be coming soon" suggested Prince Yan who was immediately rejected by the crown prince Rui.

"Ben Gong didn't want to forget for a second. Don't force Ben Gong to do that. Because the second sister will not be able to make Ben Gong forget the figure of the young lady who always filled Ben Gong's mind" said crown prince Rui who made Prince Yan sigh.

"As far as you are. Can you stop pacing like that? That's very disturbing!" Said prince Yan a little annoyed.

The day was getting late, the horse carriage sent by the palace had come to pick up Ai and the group. In front of the gate of the Feng residence, several residents and neighbors came. The path of the usually quiet Qujin household is now crowded by some people who want to see firsthand Ai's departure with the royal entourage and servants who now seem busy moving goods.

"Look, how many gifts the Feng family gave to the royal family" said a middle-aged woman with a very thick makeup.

"Of course there will be a lot. The Feng family loved their daughter very much. The gift they gave to the royal family was a sign that young miss Feng was Bao Yu (precious pearl) from the Feng family. They hoped that the royal family would receive young Miss Feng well" replied one of the fattest women among the others.

As everyone outside the Feng residence chuckled in awe and envy in their hearts at how many expensive and precious gifts General Holing and Madame Feng had given to the royal party, on the other hand precisely in the main hall of the Feng residence. Ai is paying her last respects to her parents.

Fan Hua could no longer contain her cries, she continued to cry and occasionally wiped her watery nose. While the generals Holing and Qiang tried hard and strong even though their pair of eyes began to look glassy.

"I will always try to visit you" Ai said after paying her respects.

"of course. Of course our Bao-yu will always come. The door of Feng's house will always be open for you" replied General Holing

"Ai'er forgive us for having to send you into the palace, hiks. We are unable to resist the orders and principles that have been held firmly by the previous Feng elders" Fan Hua said between tears. The woman felt guilty about having to send her daughter to a palace that looked luxurious but was actually very terrible.

Ai just nodded. His eyes also began to look glassy, his eyes began to blur because of the tears that pooled in his eyes. Ai bit her lower lip hard. He can't cry in front of his parents or his parents. He tried to stay strong and accept destiny. Some of him wanted to escape. But some of him who do not want to damage the good name and reputation of his family.

'Will it end like this?'

The question was now in his mind as his family began to escort him to the main gate of the Feng residence. It is time to go and let go of the family who loved him so much.

Ai hugged both her parents and also her gege. After that he gave a calming smile to his family before boarding the carriage.

'Will he be back in a mourning trap?' Inner Ai

Ai got on the train in Guang's aid, opened the window and looked at her family behind the window she opened. Ai gave a smile to them, then waved her hand as a farewell before closing back the window of the carriage and her gaze was now staring at the thin cloth dangling before her.

'Will his suffering in the future be replaced and paid for with happiness? If he can choose he wants a happy ending after the suffering he feels passes
