The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Chapter 381 Side story (A Fei the princess of Jin)
" I'm pregnant. " Fu Xiquan's two sentences continued to buzz in A Fei's ears.
The girl was dumbstruck, while her hands involuntarily gripped firmly at the cup she was holding.
A Fei regretted why he did not listen to that fact while drinking his tea. At least he could pretend to be surprised then gushed into Xiquan's face as if it was an accidental incident.
After a moment of silence, A Fei finally opened his voice.
" Are you asking me to step down and hand over the crown princess seat to you? " Guess A Fei.
Fu Xiquan shook his head, "No. I just want to ask you to let the Prince make me a concubine, at least for the sake of this innocent child. "
Huh huh? Sima Fei was astonished by Fu Xiquan's extraordinary request.
She wants to be Li Chenlan's concubine not my concubine. Then why ask me permission? this was not decided by the Crown Prince and the King.
With a bitter smile, Xiquan continued. " It may sound strange, a man doesn't even have the voice to decide who is his wife. But the crown prince's situation is like that. The Kingdom of Wei which is under the authority of the Jin Empire makes us have to always submit to you. "
" If you cancel this marriage, then I believe the Jin Empire will take a stand and there may be a war. So wouldn't it be better for you to give up the princess, so the two kingdoms would remain peaceful. "
It was very desirable for A Fei to laugh at this moment. It was funny, both Fu Xiquan and Li Chenlan, these two humans were too selfish.
Did they not even think about my feelings?
After that conversation, Sima Fei had not seen Fu Xiquan for two weeks. While Li Chenlan several times still met A Fei although not every day.
Unfortunately, since that incident A Fei slightly kept his distance to the man who would soon change his status to be her husband.
Until finally the day before the wedding day arrived.
The representative of the Jin Empire was Sima Feng. On the grounds that Sima Rui was sick, A Guang was forced to replace him while his father led the government.
" Daughter are you sure you'll still marry the crown prince? " Xiao Er looked doubtful of Sima Fei's decision. He felt that crown prince Wei was not a proper man for him.
" Why are you asking that? it's not until a few hours and I'm getting married to him. But why do you even seem to doubt? "
Sima Fei averted her gaze from the red clothes in front of her, looking at one of her servants, Xiao Er as if she could see the worry the woman felt.
" Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Marriage is not always about love, but also about responsibility. If I cancel the wedding just because I don't want my husband to have a concubine. Wouldn't I forever be known as a selfish woman. It not only made my image bad but also both of my parents. People must have thought that my father and mother raised me as a spoiled, selfish woman who did not even know the virtues of being a woman. "
" So Xiao Er, do you think my decision was wrong? " Added later.
Xiao Er could only cry down. He doesn't think long. So much responsibility carried by his employer.
" Whatever happens, the three of us have to help each other. You're not just my servants, but I consider you my brothers. So if anyone bothers you, tell me. "
Unknowingly, the three were drowning in the atmosphere of haru. Both Xiao Er and Xiao San to the point of shedding tears over A Fei's kindness to them.
The wedding day arrived,
After descending from the stretcher, Li Chenlan and A Fei prepared to climb the stairs towards the place of reverence.
A Fei could see Sima Feng from where he stood. His twin brother instead of smiling actually put on a sullen face, still not willing if A Fei married. Even in the Empire, there were rumors that Sima Rui's pain was due to the emperor's not being sincere if the princess married.
Along with Sima Fei's wedding, Fu Xiquan also entered the palace as a concubine. But the atmosphere of both is very contrasting. If Sima Fei's side was filled with happiness and congratulations and prayers, not with Fu Xiquan who looked lonely and silent. There was only him and a servant who served him.
" Miss, isn't this so outrageous. How could they do this to you. " Said Fu Xiquan complained.
Fu Xiquan was also angry, eager to shout but he tried hard to hold it back. " It's okay, the important thing is that right now I managed to enter the palace. There is still plenty of time for us to change the situation. Justjust look. Soon enough, this loneliness will turn to the crown princess palace. "
A Fei and Li Chenlan's festive wedding was finally completed as well. Both brides have entered the bridal chamber. The awkward atmosphere as A Fei sat waiting for the husband to open their wedding hood.
The sound of the door opening, A Fei clenched his ice-cold hand.
' He's coming, he's coming. ' Chewed himself A Fei's inner voice when he heard Li Chenlan's footsteps.
Immediately, Li Chenlan opened A Fei's head covering and looked at A Fei's pretty face.
The girl who had been looking down from shame looked up. The smile on his lips slowly faded as he looked at Li Chenlan's cold face.
' What's going on? ' Inner A Fei was confused.
For the first time, he saw a face that was always warm now looked cold. The eyes that were staring affectionately now looked hateful.
Li Chenlan grabbed A Fei's chin in a daze. The girl grimaced in pain as the man gripped firmly.
" Your Majesty, wh-what are you doing... You.hurt me. "
The cold face was smirking. " This is just the beginning. After this there will only be loneliness and pain that you will feel. "
After speaking, Li Chenlan threw A Fei's rough chin to the side.
The man immediately left A Fei who was still shaken by what had just happened.
Li Chenlan stepped away towards the palace where Fu xiquan was. The night he was supposed to spend with A Fei but instead spent with the concubine.
" Your Majesty, I'm glad you're here. I knew you would come. "
Fu Xiquan hugged Li Chenlan who was laying down on the bed. The woman tried to tease her, but her fist was immediately on Li Chenlan's side and immediately slept on her back.
Fu Xiquan looked at the astonished attitude of Li Chenlan. For the first time the man was cold to her, resisting her touch.
" sleep. You know today was exhausting. I want to sleep and you better get some sleep. "
Fu Xiquan pouted as soon as he saw Li Chenlan had already closed his eyes. What a bridal night that does not match what he had imagined.
Never mind, at least the prince decided to spend his bridal night here. Everyone must have thought that the prince loved her more than the crown princess.
The next day, when Fu Xiquan opened his eyes, he already did not see Li Chenlan beside him.
" Where is His Majesty? has he been gone long? "
The servant Fu Xiquan who had been waiting for the concubine woke up immediately prepared a basin of water. Help the concubine to clean up and change clothes.
" Your Majesty has gone so early in the morning, madam. He and the princess should greet for the first time as husband and wife to His Majesty the King and also the Empress. "
" Ah you're right. "
That morning the smile continued to inflate on Fu Xiquan's lips was very different from Sima Fei's gloomy aura.
" Daughter, smile. It is not good if you meet the King and Empress with a bent face. " Push Xiao Er.
" How can I not pout. Didn't you hear what Xiao San just said. "
Xiao Er stared intently at the fellow while Xiao San could only grimace cursing his overly leaking mouth while speaking.
" I'm sorry princess, I didn't mean to make your mood bad. I just want you to know that there are bad rumors about the princess. "
" I'm not mad at you. I'm just angry with the spreader of the rumor. They never get discipline. "
This morning A Fei's mood was suddenly gloomy when Xiao San told him that the servants were gossiping about him passing the first night alone. The prince spent the night at the concubine's place.
A Fei felt his pride suddenly plunge free after hearing that. As if she was a lonely outcast wife. Ah really, I really want A Fei to tear the mouths of those servants.
" Daughter, Your Highness the crown prince has come. " Xiao Er's voice made A Fei's daydreams crumble.
She recalled her husband's change of attitude last night. He has to figure out what really happened and make his attitude change.
" Tell His Majesty to come here. I have something to talk to him about. "
A tall and handsome figure entered shortly after. No more smiles and loving gazes from the man, there were only cold gazes and expressions of hatred.
" What do you want to talk about. " Ketus Li Chenlan's.
A Fei was undaunted. She looked at her husband in silence. After a while in the keheni. A Fei spoke.
" I don't know what makes you hate me, Your Majesty. If there is a misunderstanding, we better resolve it as soon as possible. Don't keep it protracted. "
Li Chenlan advanced eroding the distance of the two. His heavy and pressing voice pierced A Fei's ears. " Indirectly, you didn't make a mistake. I was the one who had planned this in the first place, marrying you and then making you feel so lonely that you realize that it hurts so much when your husband loves another woman. "
" why? "
" You ask why? then ask your mother. Do you know, because of your mother, my mother had to suffer in her marriage. My father still loves your mother. Do you know how my mother feels. Although the two of them looked harmonious but I knew how lonely my mother was. "
" Because this is. I will also make the daughter of the woman my father loves feel the same way. "
A Fei was stunned to hear Li Chenlan's unexpected confession. At first he still thought that he might have made a mistake and wanted to apologize. But it turned out that his estimation was wrong, it turned out that this had nothing to do with him.
Regarding the fact that His Majesty loves mother, why is it the fault of mother? every man who loves his mother is the mother's fault.
It was ridiculous, eager for A Fei to laugh at Li Chenlan's conclusion.
" Are you stupid? " That was all A Fei could say was replying to Li Chenlan's explanation.
" What did you say? " Anger Li Chenlan did not accept A Fei's insults.
" Of course you're stupid. You blame my mother for your father's feelings. As for my mother, my father was her love. You can blame my mother if my mother reciprocates your father's feelings and becomes the third wheel in your mother's marriage relationship. But it didn't happen. You're just looking for a scapegoat for the problems that happened to your mother. And selfishly you blame my mother. "
" gr. ck.. At first I thought you were a great guy but in fact you're just a loser. "
