Chu Yunfei frowned: "What do you mean?"
Shouldn't this be the time to speak softly and make her a lifelong promise?
"Being a husband means that you have no chance of reconciliation in this life and can only stay by my side." Rong Cang rubbed her head, "There is no place for you in the ends of the world."
Chu Yunfei was silent, stretched out her hand to push his chest away, and looked up at him expressionlessly: "Are you threatening me?"
Rong Cang laughed: "It's not a threat, I'm just telling you a fact."
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes: "So I can only be controlled by you in this life, and I can't help myself?"
"Not really." Rong Cang thought for a while and began to give her advice, "You can find a way to take power, or when our feelings are strong, you can find some escape route for yourself. This retreat can be Langya City, or our children , or it can be the power you take advantage of. In this way, even if I really fail you in the future, you will have the confidence to compete with me."
Chu Yunfei looked at him thoughtfully.
Rong Cang held her in his arms again: "Although the chance of this happening is very small, there is always an eventuality in everything. My husband's current commitment is only for the moment. Who didn't make a vow of eternal love when they were young?"
Chu Yunfei's voice was calm: "So you are warning me in advance to let me know that you are very likely to change your mind in the future?"
Rong Cang hummed: "People's hearts are fickle."
Chu Yunfei fell silent. It was a bit abnormal for Rong Cang to say these things tonight. Maybe it was to divert her attention, or maybe he really wanted her to leave a way out for him to protect himself. Chu Yunfei didn't want to guess about him. intention.
However, she knew in her heart that what Rong Cang said was the truest human nature.
Even though the possibility of a person like him being disappointed is very low, as he said, everything is unforeseen and people's hearts are fickle.
It is impossible for husband and wife to know each other and love each other for a lifetime just by relying on trust. The road to power is full of thorns, and the relationship from young to middle-aged will also be subject to more tests.
When he has enough power, he can choose from all the beautiful women in the world, one after another, gentle, enchanting, and innocent.
Until then, it would indeed be naive to talk about being a couple for the rest of your life.
Chu Yunfei thought rationally, so she should work hard from now on to find a way to give herself a strong bargaining chip and confidence. When Rong Cang really fails her in the future, she will kick him away and take the child away. .
Look at how big the world is, whether he can find her.
However……
Chu Yunfei sighed quietly, it was easier said than done.
She had to think about it.
Just thinking about it made me fall asleep.
Rong Cang looked down at the person in his arms.
A head of soft black hair lay on the soft pillow, and her fair skin and looming collarbone presented the ultimate temptation at night. Rong Cang's eyes fell on her face, and the woman's calm and refined appearance unconsciously brushed away all the restlessness in his heart.
What Rong Cang didn't say just now is that people only have one true heart. If you give it to one person, you can no longer love others.
The love of three wives and four concubines is not sincere, but just physical desire. Superficial beauty can satisfy people visually, but it cannot enrich people's heart.
The choice between a lifelong love or the lust of three wives and four concubines is based on the truest thoughts in the heart. In a system where men are superior to women, there is no right or wrong.
And he just wanted to make a decision from his heart.
Rong Cang had soft eyebrows and soft eyes, and his slender fingers gently caressed her cheek. The soft and smooth feeling made people fall in love with it, and he couldn't help but say in his heart, he will not change his mind.
Never.
…
Chu Yunfei originally planned to go home the next day. Firstly, she was worried that her mother was in a bad mood, and secondly, she wanted to make sure whether her intention to reconcile with Li was firm or not.
However, as soon as breakfast was over, an uninvited guest came to the palace, and he was an uninvited guest of noble status.
The granddaughter of the current Qin Taifu, Qin Zhilan.
The Qin family is an authentic noble family of the Chu State. The old master was Emperor Mu's teacher and taught him the ways of the emperor. The princes were also taught by Qin Taifu when they were young. Although they have taken the initiative to retire now, they are still in the court. Prestige cannot be ignored.
The old lady Taifu was the princess of Yi'an who was born into the royal family, and she was cousin-nephew to the current emperor.
It's just that the Qin family has kept a low profile these years and can be regarded as a pure and pure minister. One of Qin Taifu's two sons is teaching in the Imperial Academy and has a good relationship with Xie Guojiu, and the other is serving in the Hanlin Academy.
Grand Tutor Qin is over fifty years old. His eldest son has his legitimate daughter Qin Zhilan, who is sixteen years old, and his legitimate son who is fourteen years old.
The second son has two legitimate sons, one is twelve and the other is eleven.
From the Taifu to the son, the Qin family has never taken a concubine, raised a concubine, or even set foot on the land of the Chu Palace. It has always been a model of nobility in the hearts of civil servants.
Qin Zhilan's visit to the palace today was really beyond Chu Yunfei's expectations, and she couldn't guess the purpose of her visit.
After Chu Yunfei learned the news, he ordered Miss Qin to be served in the front hall to serve tea, and then returned to the room to change her clothes and treat her as a distinguished guest.
Because Miss Qin came alone, with only two maids by her side, and asked to see Princess Zhan by name, Rong Cang did not come forward, but went to the study to handle official business.
When Chu Yunfei arrived at the front hall, he saw a beautiful woman sitting in the hall drinking tea. She had luxurious hairpins, elegant temperament, and a strong bookish air about her.
Chu Yunfei walked into the hall and smiled lightly: "Miss Qin."
Qin Zhilan looked up, then put down the tea cup, stood up and saluted Chu Yunfei: "I've met the princess."
"No need to be polite." Chu Yunfei walked to the main seat and sat down, "Miss Qin, please sit down."
Qin Zhilan sat down again, with a dignified posture and noble demeanor, and her words and gestures revealed good manners and upbringing.
Chu Yunfei felt that it would be a pleasure to talk to such a woman. At least she would not be as domineering as Rong Jinyue, nor would she be as rude and abusive as Zhao Yunrou, or even as secretive as Princess Chen.
But she was quickly proven wrong.
"It's rude of me to bother you today." Qin Zhilan bowed slightly, as if to apologize, "There is just something I can't wait to discuss with the princess, and it's urgent, so I didn't have time to send the message. I hope the princess will pay attention."
Chu Yunfei was confused. Is the matter urgent?
Prince Zhan's Mansion has almost no contact with the Qin family, and she and Qin Zhilan have never interacted with each other. Why is it urgent?
"It doesn't matter." Chu Yunfei smiled gently, "Miss Qin has something to say, but it doesn't matter."
"My daughter has received a message from the palace. The Queen will hold a flower appreciation banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow." Qin Zhilan's eyes fell on Chu Yunfei's face, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. "My daughter learned that this flower appreciation banquet will be held in the palace." The flower banquet is for choosing concubines for the seventh and eighth princes, as well as choosing concubines for other princes."
