C318 Xuanye marries his daughter in the northern border (2/2)
”En!” Xuan Ye nodded his head, ”Duan Jing, you are a wise child, and you are my daughter, I am also reluctant to part with you, but Gerzang might inherit the throne in the future, so he is qualified to marry my daughter!”
”Yes.” Duan Jing lightly replied, and lowered his head, no longer speaking.
Duan Jing and her mother were the same, they were the same as each other, they were all part of the same type of people that went with the flow in the imperial harem. Their fate would push them wherever their fates led them, so they didn't have any choice but to walk in the opposite direction.
At night, Xuan Ye was in Rong'er's room chatting casually. Duan Jing was there as well and said a few words of blessings and consolation. However, Rong Xian and Woorgun had not met for a long time, so he wasn't in Rong'er's presence today.
Xuan Ye had been talking the entire time, but Duan Jing sat there quietly, nodding his head lightly from time to time to show that he remembered it.
”mother, Duan Jing!” 's voice suddenly came to mind. The one who entered the door first was Xuan Ye, he panted and shouted, ”imperial father, Duan Jing cannot marry Gerzang!
”Xian Er, what's wrong with you?” Rong'er looked at her daughter in surprise.
”mother, I have just heard that this Gerzang is a vulgar person. He is bold and unscrupulous, his character is unruly and his heart is ruthless. Duan Jing cannot marry him!”
”Nonsense!” How did Gerzang become such a person? ” Xuan Ye frowned slightly.
”Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Rong!” Woorgun, who was following closely behind, hastily bowed.
”Woorgun, what did you tell Rong Xian?” Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Woorgun.
”This subject... ”Your subject …” After Woorgun spoke for a long time, Rong Xian cut in, ”He spoke the truth! imperial father, how could you marry Duan Jing to someone like that! ”
”Xian Er, there are a few bad rumors about him, but we have personally inquired about it. Although this Gerzang has some minor ailments, the essence is good.” Xuan Ye frowned slightly.
”imperial father, you cannot harm Duan Jing!” Rong Xian's eyes reddened, he looked at Duan Jing, who was standing beside him, only to see Duan Jing staring at her blankly, with no other expression in his eyes. His heart tightened as he walked to Duan Jing's side and held onto Duan Jing's hands, ”Jing Er, you told imperial father not to marry him!” Duan Jing stared blankly and did not say a word.
”Woorgun... ”Don't you know what to say or not to say?” Xuan Ye took a deep breath and looked at emperor's son-in-law in front of him.
”This subject knows his wrongs. When the princess asks, this subject …” Woorgun whispered.
Xuan Ye sighed heavily, looked at him, and said bitterly, ”We were originally delighted when you gave everything to Rong Xian, but now we don't know if it's good or bad.”
”imperial father …” Rong Xian shouted, ”You … You can't marry Duan Jing to Kara La Xin. It's so far away and no one knows about Duan Jing's suffering … You... You can't be so cruel! ”
”Enough, Rong Xian!” Rong'er, who had been silent all this time, saw that Rong Xian was becoming more and more outrageous, and shouted to stop him, ”How can you say that your imperial father is cruel! Your imperial father has his own plans for doing things, how can you be disrespectful! ”
Xuan Ye lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and sighed heavily once again. He raised his head and said, ”Rong'er, let her say it, we are cruel, you know.” Xuan Ye looked at Duan Jing gently. ”Duan Jing, we know that our concern for you these past few years is not enough, but you are our daughter, our blood and bones. We naturally wish for your happiness!”
Xuan Ye looked up at the rooftop and blinked his eyes, ”Kara Xin is located in the northern border, far away from the capital, and hard to control. He could betray me at any time, and only by marrying him can we stabilize his situation …” Xuan Ye lowered her head and looked at Duan Jing with red eyes, ”Duan Jing, you can hate me!”
”That's right, Princess. Your Majesty's actions are just a choice out of helplessness. It's just to ensure the safety of Great Qing Province!” Woorgun hurriedly told Rong Xian.
Hearing Xuan Ye's words, Rong Xian felt a bit sad. Yeah, although her imperial father was a noble son of heaven, she couldn't help but show weakness at times, Woorgun's grandmother, Princess Atui, Sister Pure Qi, herself, and the current Duan Jing were all destined to be married into Mongolia. Perhaps, not everyone could be like her, and choose a emperor's son-in-law that she liked. They had grown up together since childhood, and they had the best relationship. She really couldn't bear to part with them! As he thought of this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Jing, maybe Duan Jing had never felt like she was the center of attention before, she secretly raised her head and looked around, she was actually a little nervous and organized her thoughts, then smiled slightly and looked up at Xuan Ye, ”imperial father, Duan Jing is willing to marry Kara La Xin, Duan Jing is at the northern border protecting the Great Qing Empire, like the royal sister, she is spreading the name of the imperial father in Mongolia.”
”Duan Jing...” Rong Xian tightened his grip on Duan Jing's hand, and gently called out.
”royal sister, don't worry. Duan Jing will be as happy as you!” Duan Jing continued to smile faintly.
Seeing Duan Jing's smile, Rong Xian's heart became even more upset. She suddenly pulled Duan Jing into her embrace, and let out a loud cry.
Rong'er raised her head and looked at Xuan Ye, her eyes were also hazy, thinking that it was Duan Jing's words that made her feel touched. She quietly turned her head and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Duan Jing was truly a good child, she only thought that she was introverted in the past. Hope... She could really be happy!
