zChapter 1124 - Imperial Concubine Mother Has To Make A Decision For This Son! (2/2)
Imperial Concubine Yun as an imperial concubine after all, with her position placed there, it was difficult for her to speak directly. Since Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng followed, this matter should naturally be handled by them. Therefore, Xuan Tianming took the lead and husband and wife finally spoke about their purpose for being here.
An Shi listened to them seriously, including the list of dowry items which Xuan Tianming handed over, she also read it carefully. Honestly speaking, she was sincerely moved by Imperial Concubine Yun’s sincerity. With regards to Xiangrong being able to marry Xuan Tianhua, and her relationship with Feng Yuheng changing from sisters to sisters-in-law, she was willing as well. But Xuan Tianhua just had to be a prince, her heart resisted this fact a lot.
Feng Yuheng saw An Shi’s conflict and wanted to say something, but Imperial Concubine Yun could not tolerate it anymore, speaking to An Shi directly: “In-law, This One…… ai, forget it, we are familiar with each other, I will not use This One, This One anymore, it’s too distant. Let me tell you this! For this child Xiangrong, I have really taken a liking to her, my Old Seventh has also taken a liking to her. Today we have come to propose a marriage, bringing our upmost sincerity, I hope that in-law can decide quickly, are you agreeable or not? If you agree, I will return quickly to manage the grand wedding between them next year. If you do not agree…… then I will think of something else.”
Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming both facepalmed, this forceful person.
Seeing that An Shi was still silent, not saying anything with furrowed brows, Imperial Concubine Yun spoke uncertainly: “Or does In-law think that there is not enough sincerity bringing Old Ninth and Ah-Heng along? That’s true, for a matter like an engagement, it was always decided by the parents and the matchmaker, the process seems to be missing a matchmaker and the child’s father did not show up. But you also know, the status of the child’s father is a little more awkward and it is inconvenient for him to leave.”
Xuan Tianming could not continue listening to this anymore, coughing a few times and adding on: “Father Emperor is busy with affairs of the country.”
Feng Yuheng also followed on to say: “That’s right! Father Emperor cannot leave the capital that easily.” After she spoke, she could not avoid thinking with emotion, this Imperial Concubine Yun was also rather aggressive! When she spoke, she could be a match for the Emperor! Thinking about when she just met Imperial Concubine Yun, she really put up a good act when she was at Winter Moon Palace, but unexpectedly, after leaving the imperial palace, her true personality was shown and it was actually like this. No wonder the Emperor was so crazily attracted to her, the personalities of these two people were the same.
They wanted to smooth things over for Imperial Concubine Yun, but she did not appreciate it all, waving her hand and ignoring them, she said to An Shi again “In-law, do not listen to their nonsense, these two children do not know anything. Hua-er’s father might be the Emperor, but with regards to his children’s marriage, if in-law insists on having him appear, then he has to come here! In-law, please say the word! As long as you say it, I will ask people to send a letter to transfer the Old Man here!”
An Shi was dazed hearing this, this was really her first time interacting with such an important person, during these few years, she had frequently seen princes, but did not meet any imperial concubines! The concubines in the palace were like this? That legendary, mysterious, influential and favoured Imperial Concubine Yun, was like this?
Just as An Shi was in a daze, a servant outside the door entered hurriedly, after bowing and looking at everyone, he choose to speak to Feng Yuheng in the end: “Reporting to Princess, His Highness the Fourth Prince is asking to see Madam An!”
“Hm?” Feng Yuheng frowned, thinking that things were not good, for the Fourth Prince to choose this time to appear, it must be something bad.
She was not the only one thinking this, everyone in this house was thinking this, especially Feng Xiangrong, when she heard the words His Highness the Fourth Prince, her face fell quickly, having a bad feeling in her heart.
But An Shi thought that the Fourth Prince appearing at this time was an action which could solve her troubles, her heart was messy and she wanted to gain more time to think about it properly, she also wanted to speak to her own daughter again. The Fourth Prince had come, so it was likely that this matter would not be decided today, this would buy her a lot of time. Therefore, without waiting for Feng Yuheng to speak, she took the initiative to speak first: “Quickly ask His Highness the Fourth Prince to come in, His Highness is an important guess, how can we leave him outside?”
However, this was the manor belonging to the lord of the county, as long as Feng Yuheng was around, the servants would not listen to anyone else’s instructions. Even though An Shi spoke, the servants still looked at Feng Yuheng, waiting for orders from their true master.
An Shi was a little embarrassed, knowing that she had spoken too much, she lowered her head and did not say anything more. But Feng Yuheng sighed softly, speaking: “Madam An is correct, His Highness is an important guest, how can we leave him outside? Quickly invite His Highness the Fourth Prince in.”
The servants went to welcome the “important guest”, unexpectedly, Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi was not the only person entering the manor, a large group of servants followed behind him, the servants were even carrying a lot of things. Once they entered the main hall, they saw Xuan Tianyi lift a corner of his robes, kneeling towards Imperial Concubine Yun, saying in a clear voice: “This Son has waited, and someone who can make a decision has finally arrived! Imperial Concubine Yun has a higher status, please accept a bow from This Son!”
