Queen of flowers - Chapter 43

She gave up the farming mode long ago. As a woman who didn’t want to have children, what kind of future would she have? Was she waiting to get abandoned by her husband’s family and being put off by her husband? Moreover, she didn’t think that poor men would be more ethical than the rich.

The poor didn’t accept concubines, not because they were loyal to their wives, but because they didn’t have the spare money to support them.

Once their living conditions improve, those who became wealthy, were most likely to attract flowers more than men who were already rich, they would even make their wives more desperate. Was the story “Guiyiyou” true?

(Guiyiyou is a story of a poor man who was advised by the emperor to marry his younger sister after abandoning his wife. But he didn’t and still grew old with his wife)

Now, the best way she could was to be Feng Gongzi’s concubine!

‘Do it …’

Yong Ruo sighed quietly, exhaled heavily, then slowly regained her spirit!

‘Ok! No more tangling and no hesitation, just go and be Feng Gongzi’s concubine!’

Let’s talk about a love destined to break!

It was normal to break up when love fails. In her previous life world, it was more common to separate and move ahead. How many people were married to first love?

When Feng’s feelings for her changed and faded, he would marry another woman, and let her go!

What to do then? They could talk about it. There would be no children anyway.

She moved forward and backward!

She didn’t expect him to keep only her in his heart for the rest of his life.

But she hoped that when he had the most sincere and strong feelings, she could have a happy time with him, and it would be a little comfort to travel in that era!

“Can you cut this plum tree?” Feng Liao looked away from the plum blossoms and turned to look at her. There was an expectation in his tone that he didn’t even notice.

“Not very willing!” Yong Ruo said. The plum blossoms on this plum tree had changed her fate in this life and had a special meaning to her.

“Why not?”

“Without this plum tree, how could this little girl have the fate to meet Feng Gongzi?”

Feng Liao’s complexion turned red, from the neck to the ears.

He looked around with embarrassment, strong shyness, and joy interweaving and permeating on his face.

He didn’t dare to look at her. After a while, he looked up at her and said, “I have seen the flowers and plants of the four seasons in the past. I have seen plum blossoms that are better than this, but I have never seen it the way I do now. I have read about the plum blossoms. I have read many poems about it, but I have never really cared or understood them. The night I met the girl, I suddenly understood what it means to be “pretty little peach and apricot.”, “Three Red plums,” what is “Plum Blossom”… Since then, I have loved this red plum … “

It was not the first time that Feng Gongzi had compared her to red plum blossoms!

Yong Ruo was very happy when she heard that. Then she thought, ‘Since I’m going to be his concubine, can I mix up with this person? After all, this person’s character was quite close to mine, and the risk of the relationship failing was greatly reduced.’

“I also like the red plum blossoms!” She said, “In the snow, when everything is depressed, such bright and vigorous color is enough to brighten the world.”

Feng Liao listened to her quietly, thought for a while, and gently nodded. He looked at her and said with a pointed finger, “Yes! The beauty of the red plum is enough to brighten the world!”

Yong Qiao and Yong Miao, one in the kitchen and one in the main room; Su Mingjian, Luo Bu, and other guards, didn’t know where they were.

In the quiet courtyard, there were only Feng Liao and Yong Ruo. They stood quietly under the red plum tree, sniffing the fragrance, surrounded by a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

After a while, Feng Liao quietly took a deep breath, put his hands behind his back, his fingers clasped tightly together. He turned to face Yong Ruo, restrained his violent heartbeat, and courageously said, “Girl, … I admire you … I want to do my best to marry you as my wife … “

After saying this, he felt that his cheeks had become hot, and his heart seemed to jump out, and even his hair was soaked!

But he ignored it and forced himself to finish saying what he wanted to say, “Will you … marry me?”

Yong Ruo looked at him with surprise. This … was this a marriage proposal?

Did she hear, right? Feng Gongzi said, “marry you as my wife,” not “accept you as my concubine?”

She widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, “What did you say?” She suspected that she had just lost her mind and heard it wrong!

Feng Liao took a deep breath, trying to keep his trembling body and tone as steady as possible, and tried to make his speech more coherent, “I want to marry you as my wife! Would you marry me?”

Yong Ruo gaped. Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes widened, and she was left speechless! Marry her … as his wife?

She just decided to be his concubine, but Feng Gongzi said he would marry her?

What happened?

The dim light in the lantern shone on her face and reflected her dumbfoundedness into Feng Liao’s eyes clearly.

An extremely pleasant smile gradually appeared in his eyes, permeating his entire face and the whole person.

“You don’t believe me?” He asked with a smile.

“I’m surprised!” She murmured.

“Why surprised?”

“Young master used to only want me to be a concubine. Why did he suddenly say he wanted to marry me?”

“I just figured it out!” Feng Liao looked up at the plum blossoms on the branches, clear and arrogant, cold and vigorous, and said with some emotion, “Since I admire the plum blossoms, I shouldn’t linger on the spring flowers because the plum blossoms are not afraid of frost and snow. They cannot co-exist with spring flowers. You can’t have both fish and the bear’s paw, the wise should know the choice … “

He looked at her, his eyes were sincere and frank, hot and calm, “Girl, Yong, I choose you, and give up … all the spring colors in the world!”

Miao:-
*You can’t have both fish and the bear’s paw: You can’t have the best of both worlds.
Bear’s paw is considered a delicacy in ancient China. Hehe
Sometimes making a hard choice among your favorites is a must.
