Chapter 487 - 487 No one will marry me

487 No one will marry me

“It is said that a disabled man has disabled offspring,” Xiuying said with a pitied look on her face and looked at Zhu Liling.

“Her Majesty’s daughter is on the verge of losing a life of comfort. Her Majesty needs to stop this,” Xiuying advised Zhu Liling.

Zhu Liling apologized to the King and assured him that she would talk to Jingfei.

“There is no need to do that. I allow them to marry,” Qiu Zedong announced, shocking everyone present there. However, the facial expressions on his face clearly depicted that he was not happy with Jingfei’s stubbornness.

Jingfei thanked her father and smiled. She beamed at Li Jianjun when she heard her father speak.

“However, if you ever come to me and say anyone made fun of Xu Zifan and I must punish that person, then I will not do that. Keep this in mind,” Qiu Zedong affirmed.

“Yes, Father.”

Feng Lao could not bear the insult that Xu Zifan was facing, so he stepped up.

“Xu Zifan has not given his decision. I request His Majesty not to allow their marriage until Xu Zifan agrees to it,” Feng Lao requested while keeping his head low before the King.

.....

He didn’t want Xu Zifan to suffer because of the royal family. They had already humiliated him. If Jingfei were to become his wife, she would only trouble him.

“I agree with Feng Lao’s words. Xu Zifan, would you like to marry someone else’s betrothed?” Xiuying asked with a tiny smile. “We all know that no one would marry you because you are disabled. Princess Jingfei isn’t a suitable match for you either. She is of royal blood. So, you must answer carefully,” she stated.

Jin Yu wanted to shut Xiuying up again, but Xiaoming stopped her and shook his head.

Jingfei quickly stood next to Xu Zifan and grabbed his left arm. “Don’t listen to her. Take me to your house as your wife. I will not trouble you. You will not regret taking me as your wife. If you leave me here, Father will send me away with Li Jianjun. I will die then, and will haunt you in your dreams for not marrying me,” Jingfei said as her eyes filled with tears.

Xu Zifan looked at his arm and then into her eyes. He wished he had not listened to Jianjun’s conversation. He curled his fingers and said, “I will marry Princess Jingfei.”

Feng Lao was stunned to hear Xu Zifan’s statement, and he quickly went to him. Feng Lao dragged Xu Zifan slightly away from Jingfei.

“What are you doing? Don’t do this. At least wait for Li Hua to return,” he advised Xu Zifan.

“She also wanted me to marry someone. No one will marry me, and I cannot let Li Hua worry for me all her life,” Xu Zifan stated.

“Moreover, I must help the Princess. If she marries Jianjun, she will surely take her life. I will somehow regret not helping her,” he explained to Feng Lao.

Feng Lao sighed as Xu Zifan went back to Jingfei. “Since Princess Jingfei has chosen me, I will not disappoint her,” he answered to the King.

Jingfei smiled to hear those words. She asked her father and mother to give them blessings as she held Xu Zifan’s hand.

Qiu Zedong looked at the Queen and gestured something to her.

“I cannot ignore the choice of my daughter. She has chosen Xu Zifan to be her husband. I hope you will keep her happy and will not let her down,” Qiu Zedong said with a smile and told Xiuying not to humiliate Xu Zifan anymore as he was their son-in-law.

“Eunuch Gao Bing, take the royal priest to the residence of Xu Zifan and start the wedding ceremony there. Feng Lao will show you the way. Start the preparations. Princess Jingfei and Xu Zifan will soon be there,” Qiu Zedong gave out the instructions.

Feng Lao complied with the King’s order and left with Gao Bing. Jingfei walked up to her father to thank him, while Xiaoming went to Xu Zifan.

The other four princes also gathered around him.

“I apologize on my mother’s behalf,” Qiu Mu apologized to Xu Zifan. He didn’t say a word when Xiaoming hugged him.

“Thank you. I do not have to say anything, as I know you are the perfect man for my sister,” Xiaoming said with a smile.

Mingquan was happy for Xu Zifan too and told him that Jingfei suited him.

“Xu Zifan stays calm while Sister Jingfei is always hyperactive,” Zhang Xi said with a chuckle while he observed the weird gazes of his brothers. “In simple words, Xu Zifan will not feel lonely anymore. He will always be busy because of Sister Jingfei,” he modified his words.

Li Jianjun watched how happy the princes were, and he silently left the palace ground.

Jingfei saw him leaving and felt relieved. “Do not ever talk about taking your life. I cannot be cruel to my own children. I only wish that you will not regret the decision of marrying Xu Zifan,” Qiu Zedong again repeated the same words.

“I will not, Father. Xu Zifan is a million times better than the Father’s choice for me,” Jingfei replied.

Zhu Liling realized her both children ruined their lives. Now, Xiuying would always taunt her daughter for marrying a disabled man.

After fifteen minutes, Jingfei got into the palanquin after wearing the veil over her head. Xu Zifan had a small conversation with the King before he hopped on the horse that Xiaoming asked to bring in.

Jingfei looked outside the window, and tears filled her eyes. Her mother was crying to see her leave. However, she was happy that at least, she didn’t leave the palace with Jianjun.

The princes went after the palanquin until they reached the palace gates and watched their sister leave.
