Kapitel 34: Different

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

The Moon Pavilion with its overhanging eaves was like a huge umbrella blocking above Gu Yunrong and Fang Mingfeng.

Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei, who were on the second floor of the small building, happened to be in the blind spot of the two of them. The sisters took advantage of their high vantage point and saw the two people in the pavilion clearly.

Gu Yunrong and Fang Mingfeng were only two feet apart. There was no one around, only a sea of flowers surrounding the pavilion. It was colorful and fragrant, like a painting by a famous artist.

"Yunrong," Fang Mingfeng said in a lingering voice. He couldn't help but take a step closer to Gu Yunrong and hold her slender wrist.

Their faces were less than two feet apart. Fang Mingfeng could barely take his eyes off Gu Yunrong.

From her arched eyebrows to her long lashes to the dimples on her cheeks to her soft lips, he was almost mesmerized. His gaze was deep and tender, like an ocean that threatened to drown him.

"Don't push me to someone else," Fang Mingfeng said sternly.

His voice carried clearly on the wind.

It was obvious who this "someone else" referred to. Gu Yunzhen frowned and subconsciously tightened her grip on her handkerchief. She turned to look at Gu Yanfei beside her.

Gu Yanfei leaned lazily against the window frame, her right hand cupping one cheek as she looked down at the two people below.

Though not quite the same as the rumors she'd heard in her previous life, it seemed more interesting.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Yanfei's lips.

Gu Yunrong also understood what Fang Mingfeng meant and widened her eyes.

She wanted to retreat, but with the pavilion's columns behind her, there was no room to escape.

Fang Mingfeng had always been elegant and restrained. At this moment, his jade-like face revealed a rare loss of composure, as if he wanted to vent his frustration.

He laughed bitterly. "Don't you understand how I feel about you all these years?"

He had treated her differently from others since she was a child. He had taught her to ride a horse and play polo. He had played the piano and she had played the harp. They had painted together…

He and she had been childhood sweethearts. They had shared many memories over the past decade or so.

They were close and understood each other very well.

Why was Gu Yanfei interfering with their relationship?!

If Gu Yanfei hadn't appeared, the two of them would have been a match made in heaven.

"Mingfeng!" Gu Yunrong felt the heat from her left wrist and complicated emotions appeared in her eyes. She said leisurely, "You know, to me, you're like my brother and my friend, like my family…"

"I'm not your brother!" Fang Mingfeng cut her off in a rush of emotion. He felt his heart twist in pain and a bitter taste filled his throat.

He didn't believe she didn't have him in her heart.

His Yunrong was too kind. In order to help Gu Yanfei, she gave up on him!

"…" Gu Yunrong sighed helplessly.

She had grown up with him. To her, Fang Mingfeng was more like an older brother.

She had known since she was young that they were engaged. However, every time she thought about how she was going to marry someone who was as close to her as an elder brother, she felt awkward.

She had once been worried about this. Fortunately, there was still Gu Yanfei…

Ever since she was a child, she'd thought she was extremely lucky.

Gu Yunrong stared into Fang Mingfeng's eyes and sighed. "Mingfeng, you're a good person."

As she spoke, she gently and firmly shook off his hand and said slowly, "I wasn't the one who was engaged to you in the first place. Everything is just back on track now."

Fang Mingfeng's eyes were red, and there was a hint of madness and hurt between his handsome brows.

"Rong Rong," he said hoarsely, abruptly changing his words to invoke the nickname he had used for her as a child. "To me, you're one in a million!"

His words were so sincere that he wished he could cut open his heart and prove it, but Gu Yanfei almost laughed.

Seeing the infatuation, pain, and anxiety on Fang Mingfeng's face, Gu Yanfei smiled and thought to herself, 'He really loves Gu Yunrong!'

He loved her enough to be willing to get rid of all the "obstacles" he considered, including her!

Thinking of the sins of his two lives, Gu Yanfei's eyes suddenly turned cold.

The air around them smelled of the flowers of the moon. The wind blew a few petals into the pavilion and onto their clothes.

"Mingfeng…" Gu Yunrong looked at Fang Mingfeng in a daze. Her heart was sour and soft. She didn't know if it was because she was touched or helpless, or if there were more complicated emotions mixed in.

Of course, she knew that Fang Mingfeng was very good. He was loyal and honest. Even in the capital, he was one of the best bachelors.

To Gu Yanfei, this engagement was enough to make up for the past 14 years.

Gu Yunrong took a deep breath and told herself that she must not relent.

Fang Mingfeng was not hers and she didn't want him.

The autumn wind blew gently, fluttering her skirt like a butterfly, making her figure look even more slender.

In the Moonlight Tower, Gu Yunzhen bit her lower lip and tightened her grip on the handkerchief. Her forehead hurt.

Gu Yunzhen already felt that it was inappropriate when she saw Gu Yunrong and Fang Mingfeng chatting and laughing at the polo field. They were childhood sweethearts and had always been on good terms. However, since her grandmother had already decided to let Gu Yanfei marry into the British Monarchy, Gu Yunrong should avoid arousing suspicion.

Gu Yunzhen had originally wanted to look for Gu Yunrong to give her some pointers, but she did not expect…

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhen looked at Gu Yanfei again with complicated thoughts. Her cherry lips opened slightly. "Second Sister, Third Sister grew up with Crown Prince Fang…"

Even Gu Yunzhen did not know what she was explaining. Fang Mingfeng knew that the person he was engaged to was Gu Yanfei, but he still expressed his feelings to Gu Yunrong. Logically speaking, it should not have happened.

"Big Sister, do you think Fang Mingfeng is a good match for me?" Gu Yanfei calmly interrupted Gu Yunzhen and pointed at Fang Mingfeng in the pavilion below.

Her dark eyes were like calm water, deep and unfathomable.

Gu Yunzhen pursed her lips and hesitated.

The misalignment of the real and fake daughter 14 years ago had caused Gu Yanfei to suffer for 14 years. Everything that belonged to her had been taken away. Now that her and Gu Yunrong's backgrounds were revealed, they should return to their own positions.

Since Gu Yanfei had returned to the Gu family, she should naturally return to the marriage that originally belonged to her.

This was correcting mistakes and making amends.

However, if this marriage only brought Gu Yanfei pain, would it still be considered "making amends"?

Meeting Gu Yunzhen's struggling eyes, Gu Yanfei looked straight at her and said slowly, "Why must we pass off a pearl as a fish eye?"

She could not keep the cynicism from her voice.

"…" Gu Yunzhen was speechless.

At this moment, the answer clearly appeared in Gu Yunzhen's heart—

Fang Mingfeng was definitely not a good match for Gu Yanfei!

The moment she thought it through, Gu Yunzhen felt relieved.

After a moment of silence, Gu Yunzhen stared deeply at Gu Yanfei and asked, "Second Sister, have you really thought it through?"

Reality was cruel. Gu Yanfei was not wrong, but her background was awkward. If she missed Fang Mingfeng, it would be difficult for her to get a good marriage in the future.


Kapitel 35: Contention

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

"Chirp chirp chirp …"

Two sparrows happened to be flying past the window at that moment. They had their wings close to each other and were frolicking affectionately, sometimes circling, sometimes doing cartwheels.

The slightly solemn atmosphere was instantly broken. Meeting Gu Yanfei's calm gaze, Gu Yunzhen smiled.

Everything was said without words.

She had made a fool of herself.

"I understand!" After thinking about it, Gu Yunzhen held Gu Yanfei's hand and said solemnly, "Second Sister, I'll help persuade Grandma."

Gu Yanfei could not help but laugh.

She did not say this to Gu Yunzhen to vent her emotions, nor to ask for a favor. She was just following her heart.

"Big Sister, you're so kind!"

Gu Yanfei reached out two fingers and pinched a corner of Gu Yunzhen's handkerchief. She gently shook the handkerchief and leaned on her slender shoulder with the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably. Her bright smile was as clear and bright as the sky after the rain.

Her Big Sister was so cute!

Gu Yunzhen's heart softened when she saw her sister leaning against her. She gently stroked the little girl's soft hair and thought to herself that as the eldest sister, she naturally had to become the support of her sisters.

"Chirp! Chirp!" A sparrow spread its wings and flew past the window, swooping neatly down toward the pavilion below, another in hot pursuit.

The two people standing quietly in the pavilion finally moved.

Fang Mingfeng suddenly took a step forward and could not help but raise his arm to pull Gu Yunrong into his arms. His deep and low voice seemed to come from the depths of his chest. "Rong Rong, if it weren't for Gu Yanfei, wouldn't we already be together?!"

At this moment, the killing intent in Fang Mingfeng's heart rose again, and his eyes were slightly red.

That's right, it was Gu Yanfei's fault.

It was Gu Yanfei who insisted on standing between them.

His Rong Rong was the kindest and most good-natured. She had no choice but to give in!

Fang Mingfeng's actions were so gentle and pitiful, as if he would hurt her if he used too much strength.

Gu Yunrong let out a low cry. She did not expect Fang Mingfeng, who had always been respectful, to suddenly do such a rude thing and hug her, catching her off guard.

Automatically she tried to push him away. "Let me go!"

He wouldn't let go! Fang Mingfeng's desire surged.

"Rong'er!"

A cold male voice suddenly sounded, scaring the two sparrows in the air. They flew around and a few brown feathers fluttered down.

At some point, the sun in the sky was blocked by dense clouds. The sky was slightly gloomy, and there were leaves and fallen flowers in the autumn wind.

Gu Yanfei looked in the direction of the voice with interest. As expected, she caught sight of a slender and muscular purple figure in the flower corridor beside the pavilion.

Anger surged on Kang Wang's handsome face. He rushed into the pavilion like a gust of wind and approached Gu Yunrong and Fang Mingfeng.

Kang Wang was finally here! In other words, Gu Yanfei had come to the right place. Gu Yanfei's lips curved into a faint smile as her slender fingers casually rubbed the gourd-shaped pouch by her waist.

However, why was Fang Mingfeng here?

"Fang Mingfeng, let go of Rong'er!" Seeing that Fang Mingfeng had taken advantage of Gu Yunrong, Kang Wang was furious. He raised his fist and punched him, causing a gust of wind.

Fang Mingfeng quickly sidestepped and avoided Kang Wang's punch.

Kang Wang saw an opportunity and grabbed Gu Yunrong's wrist, pulling her to his side.

He was a martial artist and was extremely strong. Feeling pain in her left wrist, Gu Yunrong frowned in pain and subconsciously resisted.

Her sleeves were torn with a ripping sound, leaving a long tear. Her white, delicate upper arm was exposed.

"Your Highness, let go of her quickly." Fang Mingfeng's expression turned cold as he hurriedly took a few steps forward. He faced Kang Wang's furious eyes fearlessly and grabbed his wrist.

The three of them stood there in a strange stalemate.

"How dare you!" The anger in Kang Wang's eyes intensified. He was like an unsheathed sword with overflowing cold air.

He had come to Prince Jing's residence today because he had heard that Gu Yunrong would be coming and wanted to personally explain to her that it was the Empress Dowager's intention to choose a consort. Unless he wanted to, he would not let the Empress Dowager order him around. However, he did not expect to see Fang Mingfeng fawning over Gu Yunrong the moment he arrived at the residence. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

Kang Wang also knew that Gu Yunrong and Fang Mingfeng were childhood sweethearts. He could tell that Fang Mingfeng was willing, but Gu Yunrong had no desire.

Kang Wang did not like Fang Mingfeng circling around Gu Yunrong. He had hinted at Fang Mingfeng's thoughts more than once, but Gu Yunrong insisted that she and Fang Mingfeng were as close as siblings.

She told Kang Wang that she only had him in her heart.

Kang Wang felt happy for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by anger. He wanted to cut Fang Mingfeng into pieces.

Fang Mingfeng refused to give up. He actually wanted to take advantage of the situation and was even rude to his Rong'er!

Kang Wang was afraid that Fang Mingfeng would sow discord, so he anxiously said to Gu Yunrong, "Rong'er, believe me. You're my only consort."

"I only have you in my heart too!"

The two short sentences were powerful and straightforward, burning like fire.

Gu Yunrong looked at Kang Wang with slightly red eyes. An indescribable sourness arose in her heart. She was a little touched and relieved… and also felt very cherished.

She trusted him, of course, and those she loved. But she also knew that the Empress Dowager's heart might not be so easily swayed.

Kang Wang's status seemed to be noble, but in fact, it was like boiling oil. Now that the eldest prince, Chu Yi, had returned to the country, it made Kang Wang's situation even more difficult. The Empress Dowager must be trying to use the selection of concubines to rope in Kang Wang's people.

In this era where imperial power reigned supreme, marriage was often just a tool to obtain power.

"Fang Mingfeng." Gu Yunrong's gaze seemed to have encouraged Kang Wang. He looked at Fang Mingfeng disdainfully and said coldly, "What right do you have to tell me to 'let go of her'?! Don't forget, you're engaged. You're not worthy of Rong'er!"

The word "engaged" was like a heavy hammer that struck Fang Mingfeng's heart. His face turned green and white. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and slapped Kang Wang's hand away and grabbed Gu Yunrong with his other hand.

Kang Wang snorted disdainfully and drew his sword from his waist. The gleaming blade slashed down at Fang Mingfeng.

Seeing this, Gu Yunrong's expression changed and she exclaimed, "Your Highness, no!"

Gu Yunrong tried to stop the fight, but Kang Wang's sword still slashed down fiercely. The edge of the sword cut through the air like a silver bolt of lightning. Fang Mingfeng naturally would not sit still and he managed to dodge again.

Clunk!

The razor-sharp blade struck one of the pavilion's columns, leaving a deep, shocking gash.

Gu Yunrong's pupils constricted and her face turned pale. She could not watch as Fang Mingfeng was injured. She grabbed the scabbard at Kang Wang's waist and threw it to Fang Mingfeng.

This action angered Kang Wang even more. The sword in his hand slashed out again like lightning…

Fang Mingfeng immediately blocked Kang Wang's sword with his scabbard, causing sparks to fly with the friction generated.

Neither of the two men was willing to back down. There was a flurry of swords in the pavilion, and several of the columns were covered in sword marks.

Several tiles from the pavilion fell from above and crashed to the ground, shattering into a million pieces.
