Chapter 272 It’s impossible for me to consummate our marriage with you!
When Xinrong heard Yongqi talking about driving away the bridesmaid, she knew what he was planning.
But it doesn't matter. These things are not that important. Since the wedding ceremony has been completed, she is the legitimate wife.
This is enough.
So Xinrong calmly picked up the teacup and poured herself a glass of water, waiting for Yongqi's next move.
Yongqi took a deep breath and said, "Xinrong, do you remember what I said before? I said I can only give you a status, but I can't give you my love."
Xinrong lost his patience after hearing this nonsense again. "What does Fifth Prince want to say?"
"I will sleep in the study these days. I won't touch you. I only belong to Xiaoyanzi."
Yongqi felt that when he said this, he was like a warrior charging for love. If Xiaoyanzi knew about this, she would definitely be so moved that she would hug him and cry.
"Oh."
Yongqi was a little unhappy because he didn't expect Xinrong to react like this. "What do you mean?"
Xinrong couldn't hold it in any longer and rolled her eyes. "What can I mean by that now that you've said that? Do I have to cry and beg you to pamper me?"
It was the first time Yongqi had seen Xinrong being so rude. He choked a little, but there was nothing wrong with what Xinrong said. Yongqi said embarrassedly, "That's not the case. You just need to behave yourself and be a good wife."
Be law-abiding?
Who is trying to persuade whom to behave themselves?
Xinrong placed the teacup on the table neither lightly nor heavily, and there was a gentle thud, as if knocking on Yongqi's heart.
He always felt that Xinrong seemed a little different.
Sure enough, Xinrong spoke.
"Fifth Prince, I think you're mistaken. Right now, you and your sweetheart should be the ones keeping to themselves. You said you would respect me, but I haven't seen it, so I'm very dissatisfied."
Yongqi was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want? There's no way I can consummate our marriage!"
Xinrong took a deep breath, acting like someone wanted to consummate their marriage with him, but she wasn't so hungry as to do anything like that.
But Xinrong still had her own concerns. If the Fifth Prince really went to sleep in the study on his wedding night, wouldn't she, Xinrong, become the laughing stock of the whole capital again? She herself didn't care too much, but she couldn't let her father be talked about again.
"I promise I won't consummate our marriage, but you must stay in my room for the next few days."
Yongqi frowned. He was afraid that Xiaoyanzi would misunderstand him, so he went to the study to sleep to prove his innocence. Wouldn't Xiaoyanzi still misunderstand him if he slept here?
"No, I won't back down on this one."
Seeing Yongqi being stubborn, Xinrong also became stubborn, "No! You must listen to me."
Yongqi didn't care about Xinrong at all and turned away.
Xinrong stepped forward and grabbed Yongqi's sleeve, wanting to say something, but Yongqi pushed her away harshly.
"Ouch!" Xinrong lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, but Yongqi left without even looking back.
Suihong, the personal maid guarding the door, quickly stepped forward to help Xinrong up, "Fujin, what should we do?"
They already knew what life would be like after getting married, but on the first day of the wedding, the Fifth Prince slapped their daughter in the face. What should they do?
Xinrong stood up.
She took a deep breath. She had always known that Yongqi was a stubborn person.
"Wait a minute, after the guests have left, go and invite the Fifth Prince. Tell him that if he doesn't respect me, I won't give Xiaoyanzi a good life after she gets married."
Yongqi is now just a bald prince with nothing.
With just the meager allowance from the Imperial Household Department, it wouldn't even be enough for pocket money, let alone supporting a whole family.
Sooner or later he would need money and beg her for help.
There is ample time.
Suihong hesitated, "Fujin, if I say that, will the Fifth Prince get even angrier?"
"Then just tell him that he must do everything he promised me before marriage. This is not only for my own sake, but also for Concubine Yu's reputation."
The Fifth Prince is not such a bad guy after all, he will come over obediently at night.
But the Fifth Prince just reminded her.
She could no longer count on the Fifth Prince, so she still needed a child to support her. Once she had the child, if Yongqi was still so ignorant of the current situation, she wouldn't mind killing the father and keeping the son.
But based on Xinrong's understanding of the stubborn Fifth Prince, it would be difficult for him to consummate the marriage with her willingly. She had to think about it carefully.
There are noisy guests and a newlywed couple who part ways unhappily at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and there is a crazy Xiaoyanzi and the worried Liu Qing and Liu Hong at the Reception Hall.
"Xiaoyanzi, the Fifth Prince and his new wife have already finished their wedding ceremony. Are you still not giving up?"
Xiaoyanzi was tied up by Liu Qing and Liu Hong and could not move. She could only glare at Liu Hong fiercely.
"They can get married thanks to you. If you hadn't stopped me, would it have been like this?"
If Liu Qing and Liu Hong hadn't stopped her, she would have snatched Yongqi back by now!
"Xiaoyanzi, if I don't stop you, am I going to let you go out and make a scene again, and then be carried back lying down again?"
Why doesn’t this little swallow listen to me?
"Stop being so hypocritical! If you consider me, Xiaoyanzi, your friend, you should help me get Yongqi back!"
The more Xiaoyanzi thought about it, the angrier she became. She really suspected that Liu Qing and Liu Hong had accepted benefits from Xinrong.
"Did you accept any benefits from that Xinrong?"
Liu Hong didn't expect Xiaoyanzi to say such words. She was hurt. "In your eyes, am I such a person?"
Xiaoyanzi snorted coldly and said nothing more.
The two women quarreled, and Liu Qing did not dare to interrupt, so the three of them were in a stalemate.
After a long time, Xiaoyanzi couldn't stand this atmosphere any longer. If it dragged on, Yongqi would probably consummate his marriage with Xinrong!
When she thought of this possibility, her heart ached to death and she was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
"Liu Qing and Liu Hong! If you still want to be friends with me, Xiaoyanzi, then let me go as soon as possible, otherwise I will never talk to you again! You two traitors!"
Liu Hong was a little sad. "Xiaoyanzi, let me ask you one thing. Can't you see that I'm doing this for your own good? Do you really not understand my usual advice to you? Or do you understand everything and are just taking this opportunity to cause a scene?"
After Liu Hong finished speaking, Xiaoyanzi, who had been struggling, hesitated for a moment, but soon she started shouting again, "I don't understand what you're saying. I just want to get my Yongqi back! Even if Yongqi betrayed me, I want to hear it from his own mouth!"
Xiaoyanzi seemed very aggrieved, "Why should Yongqi himself..."
Just once is enough, Liu Hong saw Xiaoyanzi's hesitation.
She got it.
Although she and Xiaoyanzi did not grow up together, they lived together in the slum for so many years. Before she entered the palace, Liu Hong could be said to be the person who knew Xiaoyanzi best.
Although she had changed a lot after entering the palace, Liu Hong could still guess what Xiaoyanzi was thinking.
Xiaoyanzi is now mostly just angry with Yongqi.
Is it true that if I love Yongqi so much that he will die? Not necessarily.
I just want to take this opportunity to vent my emotions.
So Liu Hong didn't knock her out like last time, but just played with Xiaoyanzi, hoping that she would feel better.
But Xiaoyanzi seemed a little greedy.
