When everyone was saying that Feng Yan was going to marry Sima Zhao, the many officials in the imperial court and the noble ladies in the lower circles did not dare to get too close to Madam Feng and Feng Yan, as if they were waiting to see how General Feng’s estate would decline.
But now, Feng Yan had married a servant of the estate, and even the marriage was being carried out quietly in her own courtyard.
Seeing Madam Feng and Feng Yan, these noble ladies all wore smiles and were warm and friendly, and they did not think that Feng Yan’s status was low… …
Madam Feng chatted with a few noble ladies, and Xia Ling followed a familiar noble lady to sit at the side.
She was bored and watched as the noble ladies schemed against each other and supported each other. She watched as they trampled on others and flattered themselves. Then, she watched how they endured their disdain, ridicule, and sympathy while speaking tenderly to Xia Ling with a sense of superiority that could not be suppressed… …
Xia Ling looked at them as if she was watching crickets fighting each other. She found it very interesting and very amusing.
However, halfway through the tea party, an unexpected guest came from outside.
“Miss Feng, my prince invites you. ”
The Eunuch Beside Sima Zhao respectfully went into the pavilion and bowed.
Following him, all the noble ladies saw Sima Zhao.
Dressed in a brocade robe, Sima Zhao looked a little melancholic. He was handsome and thin as he stood beside the rockery on the other side of the lake.
Apricot flowers, spring rain, and green robes were thin. This very beautiful poem could probably explain the visual beauty that Sima Zhao gave people.
“Feng Yan, don’t tell me that you really have something with the fourth prince. Why are you not familiar with him? He didn’t look for anyone, but only looked for you among us? ” A Jealous Noble Lady said jealously.
“Watch your mouth! ” Xia Ling coldly said, “Don’t you know what the crime of talking about the Royal Family is? Don’t all of you know it? ”
Talking about the Royal Family was a crime that could lead to imprisonment. To put it more seriously, those who participated in it would be imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
Xia Ling’s words silenced the noble girls in the pavilion.
“Eunuch, please lead the way. ” Xia Ling stood up and left the pavilion with the Eunuch.
Under the eyes of everyone, Sima Zhao came to invite her in public. If she refused in public and didn’t give Sima Zhao face, in the eyes of others, this was the general’s residence not giving face to the royal family.
The general’s residence absolutely could not bear this accusation!
“Yes, Miss Feng, please come with me. ” The eunuch smiled.

Xia Ling came to the rockery. Sima Zhao’s gaze slowly rose from the center of the Lake and landed on Xia Ling’s face.
Pain, doubt, and incomprehension.
These emotions surfaced in the depths of his beautiful eyes one after another, and finally turned into a question.
“Yan ‘er, we agreed that the white-headed man and the white-headed man are united, why did you and I become like this? ”
“I didn’t want this either, fourth prince. ” Xia Ling looked at him without the slightest hesitation in her eyes. “I’m just a woman. Father sent someone to capture me. After that, I had no choice. ”
After a pause, Xia Ling took the initiative again.
“Fourth Prince, you asked me why I betrayed you, but I had the guts to ask you why we eloped. Only you and I know about it. The people in the general’s residence know why I went back to the general’s residence. The News of me eloping with the fourth prince instead spread to the market, forcing father to marry me to the servants in the residence to protect me? ”
“How could it be? ” Sima Zhao was stunned. He didn’t expect Feng Yan to dare to ask him in person. He didn’t expect the truth to be like this.
“What do you mean, how could it be? ” Xia Ling’s beautiful face revealed a smile, causing Sima Zhao to panic.
