Feng Ru Ai's
Chapter 35 (END)
"How can you make General Holing's favorite daughter sick? Didn't you love General Holing's daughter so much that you took advantage of the prize for the competition to get Zhen to lower the wedding favor for you?" The Wei emperor asked inexhaustibly with all the behavior and mannerisms of crown prince Rui that never went along with his thoughts. Just always. There were always things that were always beyond the expectations of the Wei emperor that sometimes made him almost hanged.
Right now both the emperor of Wei, the crown prince of Rui even the prince of Yan was in the western palace in the Yue pavilion where Ai was staying for a while. They got bad news about General Holing's daughter who was unconscious because she thought too much about her marriage problems, tired and also because she rarely ate.
The three come splitting the cold of the night wind to see Ai's condition and hear the problem of her condition. They needed to hear directly from the royal physician who was still examining Ai who was lying on top of her complaint.
"Ben Gong did nothing. Ben Gong only said if she wanted to know who her future husband was, she would have to marry him first to know the answer" bela crown prince Rui who made the emperor Wei then pinched the base of his nose because his head was suddenly dizzy. Prince Yan gawked in disbelief at what crown prince Rui said.
"Soundless child. How can you say that? You know that's why he keeps thinking. Is it hard if you're telling the truth? If you were to be honest, Miss Feng would not fall unconscious like this" the Wei emperor exasperated
"Ben Gong just wanted to surprise him" muttered the crown prince Rui who was still able to hear the emperor Wei and the prince Yan
"You've managed to surprise. But it wasn't Miss Feng who was surprised, but us!" Emperor Wei's reply was upset.
"Although the intention of second brother is good, but Ben Wang feels it is very much different from your habits" prince Yan's timpal made crown prince Rui realize that he had gone too far to change his character just because of a young miss who made him crazy.
"That's it. Now becoming a problem was Feng Ru Ai's state. If the royal doctor says he needs a lot of rest. Then we will withdraw your marriage and coronation tomorrow" the Wei emperor's breakup that made the crown prince Rui shocked and immediately lodged a protest
"You can't just cancel it!"
"Stop resisting, this is also all because of your mistake" said the Wei emperor who immediately silenced the crown prince Rui
Not long after, the royal doctor and the healers and nurses had finished examining Ai. Emperor Wei was the first to approach the royal physician before his two sons.
"How is Feng Ru Ai?" Asked the Wei emperor who was unable to cover the worried tone of his question.
"Miss Feng just needs enough rest, as well as regular eating intake. This doctor has also given her medicinal herbs to increase Miss Feng's appetite, also adding to her endurance" replied the royal physician who made the three sigh in relief.
"With his condition like this, is it still possible to carry out his marriage and coronation tomorrow?" Ask the Wei emperor again.
"Miss Feng did not experience severe pain. He just needs rest. It is very possible that the wedding and coronation will continue. So you don't have to worry" replied the royal physician who made crown prince Rui feel happy at the same time.
Both crown prince Rui, emperor Wei and prince Yan were delighted to hear the news. Prince Yan then approached the crown prince Rui and patted him on the shoulder of the "lucky goddess of fortune still siding with the second brother. If it does not end the history of the second brother in taking care of the expenditure report which of course will make the second brother's head break when calculating how much money is spent on the failed party"
"Well, you're absolutely right. Ben Gong can't tell Ben Gong how he screwed up if it happened"
.

The royal physician, physician and court nurse resigned. Not long after, the Wei emperor and the Yan prince followed along to continue their rest and let Feng Ru Ai stay sound in her sleep. Moreover, tomorrow they will be preoccupied with two ceremonies. They obviously need energy to start their day tomorrow which is just a matter of hours.
Well, it's early morning to have greeted them. The sky outside was still dark, but the cold air was getting colder and pierced to the point. In the pavilion Yue was only the crown prince Rui accompanying Ai in the room. Her voice was happy to not hold Ai's hand. Sometimes he rubbed the back of the hand of the girl he adored.
The look in his eyes radiated love as well as guilt. If he knew his girlfriend would fall ill from exhaustion like this, he should have told her at the time. But his intention to surprise his girlfriend now ended in regret.
"I'm sorry Ben Gong made you this way. Ben Gong was very sorry" the crown prince Rui muttered regretfully.
"Get enough rest, so that tomorrow our marriage can take place and you will soon be Ben Gong's only one" crown prince Rui said
"Ben Gong must leave to return to the eastern palace. If Ben Gong stays here for a long time, Ben Gong is not sure he can still control Ben Gong to not hit you right now" explained crown prince Rui
Crown Prince Rui then moved from his seat, he kissed the back of Ai's hand and said "Ben Gong loves you very much, see you tomorrow. My destiny" crown prince Rui then lowered his head and kissed Ai's head full of affection.

Ai wake!
Feng Ru Ai, you must wake up!
Wake up Ai, pick up your destiny!
This is your heart's greatest desire. This is the biggest reason you came back.
Wake up.. He's the reason you're here. You are his destiny. Then pick him up in the happiness you always have.
Whispers - the whisper continues to ring - ngiang and disturb Ai's deep sleep. Slowly his eyelids opened, those round and clear eyes were now arranging the sky - the sky of Yue pavilions in the western palace of MingQi kingdom. Ai blinked a few times before settling herself on the contest while gathering all of her still divided consciousness.
After his consciousness was fully gathered. His brain quickly digested the whispers - whispers that had disturbed his sleep. Ai then muttered "Who is He?" Ask Ai
There was no answer he got. In a room that is wide enough he occupies at this time there is only himself. The wind blew fiercely through the blemish of the air fentilation, the fire on the wick and the candle swayed and almost extinguished due to the strong gust of wind that made Ai wipe his arm from shivering.
Ai didn't know why she was asking the question when no one would answer her question here. It's just on its own. In this room, he was alone with silence. Although it was almost morning, the palace residents were still wrapped in thick blankets. But, even though I got no answer. Ai was still asking questions even though she knew no one would answer her questions.
"What fate should I pick up?"
"Who is he destined for me? Does the whisper mean that this marriage is my destiny? Did the whisper say that my greatest wish was to marry emperor Wei? Was emperor Wei a man destined for me?"
"That's right! What about crown prince Rui? I am very sure it is my destiny. Before I was dragged down and stuck in the past, I remember so much that I cried just from reading his name in the old Ming history book"
Ai's mind raged, but all her prejudices instantly froze when it arrived - arrived several maids and servants entered her room and it made Ai's attention then fixed on the door that had just opened.
On the other hand, the maids and maids were quite surprised when they found the future empress MingQi awake. Though initially they will intend to enter into the room of the crown prince Rui's girl by settling down - sludge like a thief so as not to disturb the deep sleep of General Holing's revered daughter.
"I'm sorry for our noble pluck by - ah this lady's intention young lady Feng" said one lady who looked older than the other lady and waiter "we do this so as not to disturb your sleep. But who would have thought you would have woken up before we came. We are truly sorry for our actions" he added
"Come in and do your job" Ai ordered, not forgetting to give them a soothing smile.
The maids and waiters blinked several times. They immediately thanked Ai for the humility that was immediately answered by a nod by the daughter of General Holing.

The maids and floats in the Yue pavilion were getting busier. Soon the wedding ceremony will be held at Wulong temple. And it is estimated that the wedding ceremony that only attended by the two families went smoothly and will be completed when the sun rises.
Right now, Ai was being groomed by several maids. He has completed the ritual bath, even he has been wearing Hwa Kun clothes which is a traditional bride typical of ethnic Chinese red with embroidered flowers and phoenix embroidered with gold thread. Her wedding clothes were very heavy and enough to make Ai's movements slow down a little.
Ai continued to hear all their instructions without any intention of refuting. Whispers in his sleep kept turning and it made Ai to conclude that her marriage was destiny regardless of who she married, and that it was her destiny, Ai had already ignored the fact that her feelings and expectations were excessive on crown prince Rui. If indeed it was her destiny to marry the Wei emperor, she could only accept by resigned her fate line. However he rebelled, he could not resist the will of the Creator.
After the makeup on his face was finished, the ladies then put a handkerchief in color in line with his clothes on his head. It clearly closed his eyes. When Ai wanted to remove it, one of the ladies prevented her by saying "miss, you can't take off your headscarf unless your husband does"
Ai who heard that then undoes her intentions. Ai forgot if her wedding this time raised the theme of traditional marriage. Of course it is very different in the future where the wedding is much more modern. They do not need to prepare a lot of things because now there are many Wedding Organizer companies that will offer their services.
"Your lady is done, it's time to head to the temple of Wulong. There everyone is waiting for you" said the previous lady who immediately replied Ai by saying "lead me there"
.

Ai and her groom had just finished the wedding vows in front of the priest and the people present. At this time he still heard instructions from the priest to perform all the rituals.
After performing the ritual of homage to the parents, and the honoring of the bride. Now comes the ritual of veil fertilization performed by the bridegroom using a stick or fan.
Crown Prince Rui then opened Ai's veil using a fan. When the veil came off, without delay - a delay, Ai immediately focused her gaze on the man who had been legitimate before her. When his gaze met with the gaze of the crown prince Rui, Ai's shocked facial expression was unable to hide anymore.
Both round and clear eyes belonging to Ai then glared in disbelief with what he saw. Ai blinked, even rubbing his eyes because he thought he had been dreaming or hallucinating. But the figure in front of him was still the same and it made Ai almost cry. Ai was relieved and also happy with what she saw.
His feelings are right. Crown Prince Rui is the man destined for him. The man before him was the reason for his existence here.
"Hey, don't cry. Ben Gong hasn't even done anything yet, but your eyes are even glazed over"
Ai did not care about the words of the crown prince Rui. He did not even care about everyone present or the ritual he would continue. Without aba - aba, Ai then threw himself in the arms of crown prince Rui. He hugged the man who always filled his mind very tightly.
"Why, why are you doing this?" Ai's question started to sob
"You know, it's so torturous!" Dew
Crown Prince Rui stretched out their embrace. He then held Ai's shoulder with one of his hands, and one of the other hands began to wipe Ai's tears that moistened her smooth cheeks.
"I'm sorry Ben Gong. Ben Gong wanted to surprise you. But who would have thought if you kept thinking and misunderstood your own thoughts. Truly Ben Gong is very sorry" said the crown prince Rui regretfully.
"No problem, but you must not repeat it again" Ai's sulk re-embraced the crown prince Rui and further tightened her head while leaning against the chest of the field the man who had legitimately befriended her husband.
"Of course, Ben Gong will not do that and make Ben Gong's woman fall ill again" replied the crown prince Rui
"Promise?" Tanya Ai looked up at crown prince Rui
"Yes. Ben Gong promises" crown prince Rui replies which makes Ai hug her tighter.
"Hamba loves you, your majesty" I'm Ai
"Ben Gong loves you too" replied the crown prince Rui who made Ai let go of her embrace.
"You just love me?" Ai asked annoyed
"Of course not" said crown prince Rui again pulled Ai and held her tightly even though Ai also continued to rebel "Ben Gong also loves you, more than you know" added the crown prince Rui who made Ai's annoyance instantly evaporate.
Crown Prince Rui stretched out their embrace. He then held onto both of Ai's shoulders and looked at his wife with a gaze in "Ben Gong is very - very much in love with you, my destiny" he admitted.
Shortly after the confession, crown prince Rui eroded the distance between the two. He silenced Ai with a soft, deep kiss. Even Ai's two hands were now draped around the neck of the crown prince Rui.
"When are you going to keep kissing? When is this done?!" Shouted the Yan prince who then made the two take off their links when fully aware that they had become a spectacle of people.
"We need to finish it as soon as possible. It seems that the two of them are already very impatient" said emperor Wei who invited the laughter of many people.
