Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

“Are you sure?” Feng Lao asked Xu Zifan with a frown on his forehead.

“Don’t give me that look,” Xu Zifan said and picked up the wedding robes with his left hand.

“Li Hua will be upset. If you wanted to become the kindest person on earth, then you should have at least asked for the time,” Feng Lao asserted and crossed his arms.

“Li Jianjun might have harmed us,” Xu Zifan stated and asked him to wait for him outside. “Li Hua will only be happy to see me married,” he opined.

“I wish the same. But the person you are marrying isn’t good. You know well the nature of the First Princess. If she gets a problem, she will blame you and Li Hua. What will you do then?” Feng Lao asked as he scolded Xu Zifan for not thinking rationally.

“I agree with Feng Lao.” Huang Xi’s voice fell into their ears and he walked in.

“You know what kind of woman Princess Jingfei is. She is not good. Yet, you agreed to marry her,” Huang Xi was unable to understand what exactly Xu Zifan thought at that time.

“I am not the same person as I was before,” Xu Zifan pronounced. He scrunched his brows. “I should not be calling myself disabled, but I am. This fact I cannot change. When I pass by people, they look at my right hand first and then they try to be away from me. I am not like the normal people,” he asserted.

.....

He didn’t want to make himself feel low, but he wanted to accept this truth too.

“Huang Xi, a woman when gets attached to a man, gives him her everything. Princess Jingfei always thought good for you. She loved you after all. Maybe she is the pampered child of her family, and that’s why she behaves like that. You should not say that she’s not a good woman. You should thank Princess Jingfei, who told her father not to make her marry you, or else you would have been married to her today. She is a thoughtful person,” Xu Zifan cleared Huang Xi that Jingfei was not as bad as he had always thought of her.

“You two should leave. I do not want to explain anymore to you both why I did it,” he requested them and turned his back towards them.

Feng Lao looked at Huang Xi and they both left the room. Feng Lao closed the door behind him.

“Xu Zifan will regret marrying her,” Huang Xi replied. “I have observed the Princess for a long time,” He said and twitched his lips in frustration.

“It’s Xu Zifan’s life. We can only support him,” Feng Lao stated.

“Prince Lóng Wei will definitely scold him, then only he will come to his senses,” Huang Xi mumbled in anger. “I want Xu Zifan to be happy,” he added.

Xu Zifan got ready in the wedding outfit and put on a smile on his lips. “Forgive me, Li Hua. But I know you will appreciate my decision and will be happy,” Xu Zifan told himself.

He looked at his hair and called a servant inside to help him when Feng Lao walked in.

“I will help.” Feng Lao pushed him onto the chair and picked up the brush.

“Call a servant,” Xu Zifan said.

“Let your friend do it,” Feng Lao said. “General Hei has also come. Li Hua will get the news soon about your marriage. Sadly, she cannot be present here,” he informed him.

Xu Zifan hummed and asked Feng Lao to promise him not to tell Li Hua about what happened in the palace.

Feng Lao stopped brushing his hair and looked into the mirror. “She will find out once she returns to the palace. I do not even have to tell her,” Feng Lao said.

“Ahh, I almost forgot about it,” Xu Zifan said.

“You didn’t dry your hair well. They are still wet,” Feng Lao said and looked for the towel to dry them. After he picked one from the cupboard, he dried his hair well.

“Huang Xi wants you to be happy. He had no intention to hurt you,” Feng Lao told Xu Zifan.

“I do not want to talk about it,” Xu Zifan said.

“Fine.” Feng Lao made a bun on the top of Xu Zifan’s head and then put a bun holder around it. “Smile at your wedding. This outfit suits you. Finally, my friend is getting married and this feeling is blissful for me,” Feng Lao said and stepped back. He put the brush on the dresser and looked at Xu Zifan through the mirror.

“Thank you,” Xu Zifan smiled at him.

“My Elder Brother is marrying Princess Jingfei!” Li Hua exclaimed in shock when Chang Shi informed her.

“Yes, Your Highness. They will marry today. Princess Jingfei chose Xu Zifan as her husband and even the King could not stop it. She threatened His Majesty with her life and asked him to permit her to marry Xu Zifan,” Chang Shi briefed Li Hua. However, he didn’t tell Li Hua about the humiliation Xu Zifan got in the palace since she would be hurt and stressed to learn about that.

“I want to be present at my brother’s wedding,” Li Hua said and asked Chang Shi to take her there.

“Forgive me, Your Highness. I cannot do that. You aren’t supposed to get out of here. Li Jianjun must be mad because Xu Zifan married the First Princess instead of him. Prince Lóng Wei may fall into trouble too if anyone notices you,” Chang Shi gave the reasons to Li Hua for not attending Xu Zifan’s wedding.

“Brother Chang Shi is right,” Li Hua said and a smile formed on her lips. “But I’m happy that my elder brother is getting married,” She asserted and asked Chang Shi if she could make mooncakes.

Chang Shi looked at her with inquisitiveness.

“Please send the sweets to my brother’s home. Currently, I can only present mooncakes to my elder brother for his marriage,” Li Hua stated and continued to smile.

Chang Shi allowed her and they both left for the kitchen.
