Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 334 Amnesty for the World

I can’t remember how many people have advised me that if I decide to marry Tianning, I must decide to love Tianning.

In the past, Kang Xiaorong always rejected and resisted, but today, today he finally made up his mind and finally convinced himself.

His hand subconsciously reached out to Princess Tianning, and he couldn't help but hug this thin girl. Seeing her tears and her pale face because of him, Kang Xiaorong felt bitter and hated himself for hurting her too much in the past. Now he finally realized... it was time to make amends.

"Tianning, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." He kept folding his arms and hugging the slightly trembling girl in his arms.

The voice that Kang Xiaorong suppressed deeply in his throat was like the screaming of a broken guqin, and Princess Tianning's heart ached deeply when she heard it.

Her tears flowed faster, not because of sadness, but because of being moved. At this moment, she was in his arms, she could feel his body temperature and his tenderness.

Just for this moment, all the painful prices paid in the past and all the sad past experiences have disappeared like smoke.

"Brother Xiaorong... Brother Xiaorong..." Murmuring this name over and over again, Princess Tianning hugged Kang Xiaorong's body.

Her ten fingers tightly grasped the other person's clothes on his back, as if only in this way could she suppress her trembling all over.

The sky that had been gloomy for days finally saw the sun again. At the end of the desperate situation, a new dawn really came...

Princess Tianning herself could not accurately describe her feelings, whether it was touching, joyful, emotional or happy. In Kang Xiaorong's embrace, every inch of her skin was warm, with his body temperature.

If time could stop, if the world could stand still, Princess Tianning hopes that this happy moment will never disappear.

"Tianning... don't talk about breaking off the engagement, never talk about breaking off the engagement again... I will marry you, marry you willingly... Give me some time, just give me a little more time, I can forget the past feelings that did not belong to me, and I can... be with you." Kang Xiaorong buried his head deeply in Princess Tianning's slightly stiff shoulders, as if warning himself, and made a promise to Princess Tianning.

Kang Xiaorong himself could no longer tell whether this was a promise or a lie. He only knew that at the moment he said this, he sincerely hoped that he could fall in love with Princess Tianning...

Kang Xiaorong really wants to return his feelings to this girl who has given everything for him and loves him deeply, but no one can say for sure whether he can do it.

After hearing what Kang Xiaorong said, Princess Tianning started to laugh while crying and said, "Brother Xiaorong, you don't have to say anything, you don't have to say anything, I know everything... Whether you love me or not, I have no complaints... You don't owe me anything, so please don't respond to me as if you are repaying a debt... You just need to let it go, be yourself, and follow your own heart... I just want you to stop hating me, stop rejecting me, and stop driving me away from you..."

These words made Kang Xiaorong even more sad.

It was precisely because Princess Tianning had no complaints or demands on him that he felt he owed her so much.

If he didn't love her, if she still didn't love him after marrying her, Kang Xiaorong would feel that he was sorry for the world and his conscience.

"Brother Xiaorong, don't be so sad. You sound like you're about to cry." Princess Tianning moved in Kang Xiaorong's arms, raised her head, and stared at his face seriously.

She hoped that Kang Xiaorong would always be happy and smile, and didn't want him to look at her with this sad face.

Princess Tianning stretched out her hands and touched Kang Xiaorong's face, trying to stretch out her almost wrinkled face back to its previous relaxed state.

"Princess..." Kang Xiaorong was being played with by her like a toy, and couldn't help but turn his head away to avoid her.

When he dodged, Princess Tianning couldn't help but laugh, and said with emotion: "Brother Xiaorong, how long has it been since I made trouble with you like this?"

Princess Tianning used to like to bully Kang Xiaorong the most. She teamed up with Kang Fangting to put rouge on Kang Xiaorong and make him wear pigtails. Kang Xiaorong couldn't argue with women like them, so he had to swallow his anger.

Just now, Princess Tianning pinched his face, as if she had returned to the happy time in the past that had nothing to do with love.

How wonderful it would be if time could stay at that time, without love or hurt, happy, pure, and carefree every day. How wonderful it would be if time could stay at that moment forever.

The marriage contract that the Queen Mother hastily made in anger became an order that could not be violated.

After the news spread throughout the palace, the nobles who came to the Empress Dowager's palace to seek an audience almost crushed the stone steps in front of the door. The Empress Dowager's eldest brother, the prime minister, the second brother, and the general of her in-laws were all present. In addition, officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites also submitted urgent reports.

The Ministry of Personnel asked the Queen Mother who would take over the post of Imperial Palace Commandant if Kang Xiaorong was named Prince Rong and moved to the Eastern Capital with the princess. The Ministry of Rites said that they had too little time to prepare and were afraid that the princess' wedding would not be grand enough, and that they would not have enough time to invite envoys from border countries to congratulate them. They begged the Queen Mother to postpone the wedding. But the Queen Mother was adamant and refused to take back her order, insisting on marrying the princess to Kang Xiaorong in two days. Everyone could not persuade her, so they had to let the Queen Mother do what she wanted.

Everyone in the palace said that Princess Tianning was willful, but little did they know that Princess Tianning's willful temper was inherited from the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother was willful, she was even more willful than Princess Tianning.

The Queen Mother's two brothers, An Zhonghuan and An Chenghuan, knew their sister's temper very well. Seeing that she had made up her mind, they were too lazy to say anything more and just kept silent and let her go.

Since the Prime Minister and the General Office obeyed the Queen Mother, the other officials had nothing to say. They could only shake their heads and leave, working hard to arrange the wedding for Princess Tianning.

After Long Mohan returned from the Xianke Pavilion, he was shocked to hear that Princess Tianning's wedding date had been set. He didn't expect the time would be so tight that he had no time to make any preparations. He hurried to Wenhua Courtyard to ask Grand Secretary Chang Sunnan about the specific procedures of the wedding. He happened to see someone in Wenhua Courtyard drafting a declaration of amnesty, and Long Mohan suddenly had an idea and remembered Ji Anni's request to him.

So Long Mohan took this opportunity to go to the Queen Mother and plead with Zhao Ji, asking her to lift the house arrest order against Zhao Ji. The reason was that since the whole country could be pardoned, why not Zhao Ji alone?

After dealing with a large number of civil and military officials, the Queen Mother had no energy to deal with Long Mohan's request. After a little consideration, she waved her hand and agreed.

That night, the guards outside Taoyuan were withdrawn.

However, Ji Anni lived in the Imperial Hospital and was not aware of the news for the time being. It was not until the eunuch came to the Imperial Hospital in person to pass on the message for the Queen Mother that Ji Anni learned that the house arrest order had been lifted.

From Eunuch Lian, Ji Anni also learned that Princess Tianning would soon go to the Eastern Capital with Kang Xiaorong. From now on, Kang Xiaorong would no longer hold any official position, but would be given the title of King Rong, and from then on he would have no shortage of food and clothing and enjoy a prosperous life.

Worry and hard work can make a country prosperous, but leisure and pleasure can destroy a person. Ji Anni didn't understand why the Queen Mother kept Kang Xiaorong like a borer?

Kang Xiaorong is also a talented general. It would be a bit of a waste of his talent to ask him to be a royal consort and do nothing else.

The Queen Mother did not want Kang Xiaorong to use Princess Tianning to politically exclude the An family's power, so she asked Kang Xiaorong to completely sever ties with the court after marrying Princess Tianning.

Ji Anni wanted to be happy for Princess Tianning, but she couldn't be happy. If there was one thing that made her happy about Tianning's wedding, it was that she could take advantage of the amnesty to cancel the house arrest order.

Unexpectedly, Long Mohan was so resolute in his work, and Ji Anni looked at him with new eyes. In fact, most of the reason was because the timing was just right, because the princess had to grant amnesty to the whole country when she got married.

That night, when Ji Anni was about to rest and go to sleep, she suddenly heard a noisy voice coming from Zhuxiaju where Kang Xiaorong was recuperating across the yard.

Ji Anni opened the window and saw that Kang Xiaorong was about to move out of Zhuxiaju, surrounded by a group of palace servants, while Princess Tianning was accompanying Kang Xiaorong.

When passing through the corridor, Princess Tianning saw Ji Anni by the window.

Ji Anni waved to her, it was a farewell wave, but also a blessing wave.

Princess Tianning smiled at Ji Anni. That serene smile was no longer that of a rude and impolite young lady, but had the elegant temperament of a lady from a noble family.

In these few days, Princess Tianning has grown up a lot. Love and pain are the catalysts that accelerate her growth.

Kang Xiaorong's gaze also shifted over, and then he whispered a few words to Tianning.

Because they were too far away, Ji Anni couldn't hear what he said. But after whispering a few words, Tian Ning walked towards Ji Anni's window.

Ji Anni thought that Kang Xiaorong must have asked Princess Tianning to say goodbye to him.

Now Princess Tianning is like Kang Xiaorong's shadow, the two are inseparable. If Kang Xiaorong hadn't discovered that Princess Tianning had something to say to him, Princess Tianning would never have come over.

"Princess, where are you going?" Ji Anni asked Princess Tianning who was approaching.

"I will temporarily stay in Tianning Mansion tonight. Tomorrow I will try on wedding dresses and organize my dowry. There are still many things to prepare." Princess Tianning's voice sounded a little tired, hiding a hint of plain happiness.

Ji Anni asked again: "I heard you are going to Dongdu?"

Princess Tianning nodded.

Ji Anni said gloomily: "I will be away from the palace in the future. It will be difficult to see you. You must take good care of yourself."

Princess Tianning nodded again.

When a woman gets married, she always marries into the man’s family. The Kang Mansion is in the capital, not far away. But now both the man and the woman have to move to another city, which is a bit strange.

Seeing Princess Tianning so quiet, Ji Anni stopped asking and just said, "Princess Tianning... you should have a good rest tonight. If you sleep well, you will have the energy to prepare your dowry tomorrow."

"Concubine Zhao Cong... please tell Hua Rong that she is grateful for her help. It was me who stole the person she loved..." Princess Tianning entrusted Ji Anni with this last thing before she left.

"Princess, don't be too sad. Maybe Huarong doesn't like Kang Xiaorong at all." Ji Anni comforted her.

Ji Anni heard with her own ears what Hua Rong said to Kang Xiaorong, those heartless words. If Hua Rong was really acting and really cut off her relationship with Kang Xiaorong with great pain, then her acting skills were comparable to that of an Oscar-winning actress.

Ji Anni couldn't tell whether Hua Rong's words were true or false. She hoped that Princess Tianning would be as confused as she was, and just think that Hua Rong's old feelings for Kang Xiaorong were really gone, and she shouldn't worry about it anymore.
