Chapter 502: Unable to Decide Who to Marry
"Is she serious? Is she really not acting? She is clearly here to marry, and everyone knows that you and I have a good relationship. How could she not ask about my affairs?" Bei Yingchen didn't expect that he had made a wasted trip today, and for a moment he couldn't accept this fact.
Compared to Bei Yingchen, Yi Qianhuan was much calmer: "Maybe Princess Yue has no interest in you at all."
"What did you say? Boss, I am her future husband. Logically, she should at least know something about my appearance or my character, right?"
"What's the point of her understanding it?" Yi Qianhuan picked up the tea bowl on the low table and took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. "She is here to marry a foreign prince. She can't decide who she will marry or what kind of person she will marry. In this case, it doesn't really matter whether she understands it before or after marriage."
"But, but if she doesn't like me, or I don't like her, how can I live well in the second half of my life?" Bei Yingchen couldn't understand.
"It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. As a princess, Xi Jiangyue has a lot more on her shoulders. She can't be willful and can only accept her fate. If I were in her situation, I would be more worried that the wet nurse who grew up with me like a mother would not have any interest in a fiancé she had never met."
Seeing Bei Yingchen's bewildered face, Yi Qianhuan continued, "Young Prince, not all couples love each other as much as the prince and princess do. In other words, marriages like yours and the princess' are the most common."
Whether it's the Regent and the Princess, or her father and her mother.
After all, there are only a few couples like them in the older generation who can love each other and stay together for their entire lives.
This was a feudal dynasty, and many newlyweds had never even seen each other before getting married, let alone a marriage for a foreign government.
Xi Jiangyue knew very well that she couldn't change it, so she wasn't interested.
Anyway, no matter whether Bei Yingchen is fat or thin, good or bad, she has to marry him.
"This, this is really too weird... That's why I don't like marriage. She is so pitiful like this." Bei Yingchen felt weird in his heart.
He would rather hope that Xi Jiangyue was an unreasonable person.
In this way, he could harden his heart and completely draw a line between himself and his fiancée.
But she is so gentle.
No, not only that, she was also loyal and righteous, and even bowed to the god of the enemy country for the sake of her wet nurse.
Moreover, there was no mistake in her etiquette, and even the way she relied on her wet nurse made her look more humane, as if she was not so annoying.
"The princesses chosen for marriage are usually the unpopular ones. I remember that Xi Jiangyue was the thirteenth princess of Xi Jiang. When she was born, her mother had a difficult delivery, so she was raised by the wet nurse since she was born. No wonder she is so dependent." Yi Qianhuan found it a little funny to see that Bei Yingchen, who was always noisy, was silent. "Little Prince, are you moved?"
Bei Yingchen's eyes widened, and he almost jumped up from his seat: "How is that possible! I just simply felt that I had misunderstood her before, and I felt a little guilty."
"Then maybe you can try to coexist peacefully with her. Now that Bei Yunting is eyeing the Regent Palace, your marriage will most likely be used. At that time, instead of letting Bei Yunting force a difficult daughter-in-law, you might as well seize the opportunity and get to know Princess Yue better."
Yi Qianhuan knows how to read faces. Princess Yue is actually destined to bring bad luck to her mother, but she is not a problem for her mother-in-law. Moreover, once she gets married, she will bring good luck to her husband, and she will have one son and two daughters. Although she may not reach the top in her life, she will have no worries about food and clothing.
"Boss, I have never had such thoughts before!" Bei Yingchen was completely horrified.
"Then it's not too late for you to start thinking about it now." Yi Qianhuan said this as the carriage drove to the outside of the National God's Palace, "Send the little prince back to the Regent's Palace."
Looking at Yi Qianhuan's leaving back, Bei Yingchen thought he would chase after her and tell her that he had never had any thoughts about any woman other than her.
But he also knew very well that Yi Qianhuan only had Ji Chilian in his eyes.
Almost as soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Bei Yingchen saw Ji Chilian walking out of the National God's Palace and personally welcoming Yi Qianhuan.
After seeing Ji Chilian, Yi Qianhuan showed a sincere smile and gently placed his hand on Ji Chilian's hand.
It was unknown what the two of them were whispering to each other. Yi Qianhuan's eyes were curved, and the relationship between him and Ji Chilian seemed increasingly harmonious.
After supporting his chin with one hand and watching the two people enter the gate of the National God Palace, Bei Yingchen suddenly understood Xi Jiangyue's feelings.
These royal relatives look glamorous, but in fact they often cannot choose to be with their loved ones.
It seems that it doesn't matter who you marry.
"What the boss said is right. It's better to find a woman who is law-abiding than a troublesome woman. This princess is at least filial." Bei Yingchen murmured, and the figure of Xi Jiangyue emerged in his mind.
"Wait a minute, let's not go to the Regent's Palace yet. I need to go back to the post station." Bei Yingchen said to the coachman.
The coachman drove the carriage all the way back to the post station.
Seeing that her wet nurse was getting better, Xi Jiangyue relaxed her tense nerves of the past few days and wanted to take a rest. However, she heard from the maid that the young prince from the Regent's Palace came to ask for a meeting.
"What's this? I haven't entered the palace to meet the emperor yet, how can I see the young prince first? Go and tell the young prince that this is against the rules. If the young prince is dissatisfied with this marriage, please inform the emperor on the day of the palace banquet. Don't embarrass a little girl like me." Xi Jiangyue waved her hand and asked the maid to go out and convey her meaning.
Bei Yingchen thought that he might not be able to see Xi Jiangyue, but he didn't expect Xi Jiangyue to say something like that: "Princess Yue knows my attitude towards this marriage?"
"My young prince, everyone knows what you have done." The maid bowed, but her words were tinged with complaints. "The Lord God is like a flower on the mountain top, and our princess admires him very much. But our princess has always been law-abiding and would never tell the world about her thoughts and embarrass others."
Bei Yingchen felt even worse when he heard this: "No, that's not what I meant. I thought your princess..."
"Young Prince, how about my princess? You should personally give your opinion to the emperor when the time comes." Upon hearing this, the maid didn't want to bother with Bei Yingchen anymore. After saying this, she turned around and left.
Bei Yingchen stared blankly at the maid who went back and closed the door of the inn. He felt complicated and sat silently at the door.
His heart beat very fast, as if it never got tired, and it kept beating violently all night long.
