Chapter 1834: Very Mixed Feelings

"Since when were you my aunt? I didn't realize I had any," Ying Su said with a scoff.

A sharp light flashed through n.o.ble Consort Du’s eyes. A girl from a younger generation and of lower birth at that actually spoke that way to her. She was infuriated.

"His Majesty asked for Your Highness and the second prince to come in. Miss Feng you should go in as well,” said the eunuch who came out of the hall towards the three.

The three entered the hall. When n.o.ble Consort Du met the emperor's profound and inscrutable eyes, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

The emperor cleared his throat and said mildly, "Since both children do not wish to be together, then just let it be. Even if n.o.ble Consort Du wishes to take care of a friend’s daughter, there’s no need to set up a betrothal. You can simply adopt her instead."

"This…" n.o.ble Consort Du hastily answered, "It’s public knowledge that these two children are engaged and are to be married. Surely withdrawing from the marriage will not be good for Qingqing’s reputation?”

"Since when were they engaged to be married? It wasn’t formal. You were trying to take care of your deceased friend’s daughter as if she was your own daughter, the engagement was simply a joke," said the emperor with a cold expression.

n.o.ble Consort Du’s facial color was poor. On the other hand, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief since he didn’t have to marry a woman like Feng Qingqian.

"Kowtow and show your gratefulness to His Majesty." Feng Chang kneeled down to thank the emperor. He saw Ying Su still standing straight up and couldn’t help but to be startled. He pulled Ying Su down to her knees and held down her head with his big hands in a kowtow position. “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Ying Su: …

n.o.ble Consort Du took a deep breath and bowed towards the emperor. "I understand.

Qingqian is my adopted daughter."

The emperor nodded and waved his hand. The three people immediately walked out of the palace.

n.o.ble Consort Du turned around with a cold snort and left. The second prince followed her to her resting palace.

Once they were in her resting palace, n.o.ble Consort Du first took a sip of her tea. The tea was already cold. She was so angry that she directly smashed the teacup. The second prince was still happy that he managed to get out of the engagement. When he saw his mother like this, he said, “Mother, don’t be so angry.”

"You’re happy?" n.o.ble Consort Du squinted at the second prince. He nodded honestly. “This son isn’t satisfied with Feng Qinqian. She’s a concubine daughter who cowers at the sight of people. Just the look of her is annoying!”

"Stupid." n.o.ble Consort Du slapped the second prince. He covered his face in shock. "Mother!"

"I really want to beat you to death. I’m so painstakingly planning your future but you drag us down like this!” n.o.ble Consort Du was so angry that her body was trembling. "Feng Qingqian isn't just a concubine daughter of the Feng family. She’s the child of the Scarlet Flames Nation’s eldest princess. The current emperor of the Scarlet Flames Nation is her uncle.”

"I prepared this marriage for you. With Feng Qingqian's temporary ident.i.ty as the concubine daughter of a general, you won’t stand out among your brothers and it will make your father think you have no ambition. After you and Feng Qingqian are married, you can try to get in touch with the Scarlet Flames Nation and get their support to ascend the throne.”

"I never imagined you’d be so unwilling. If you asked me beforehand, things wouldn’t have gotten to the point of the engagement being completely broken off." n.o.ble Consort Du was so angry that both her heart and liver hurt.

The second prince was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and said, "But you never told me, Mother."

The second prince now had very mixed feelings. All the happiness from earlier instantly turned into extreme disappointment. "Who would have thought that the general's concubine daughter was the daughter of a princess?"

"This son will definitely make Feng Qingqian accept this son again," the second prince hastily said. Although the Scarlet Flames Nation was small and rarely involved itself with neighboring countries, their people were good at handling poison. This was why they were able to survive in the midst of the many tripart.i.te countries.

"No need to try. There’s no chance left for you and Feng Qingqian.” n.o.ble Consort Du rubbed her forehead. Her face showed her exhaustion and her disappointment with the second prince.
