Dressing as Ziwei makes the Qing Dynasty more powerful
Chapter 132 Bai Yinshuang's Despair
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows of the towering Forbidden City palaces onto the Golden Throne Hall, illuminating the golden expanse before the Dragon Throne. Emperor Qianlong, clad in a magnificent dragon robe, sat on the throne, his majestic gaze sweeping over the courtiers below.
After all the ministers in the court finished their worship, Qianlong slowly said: "I am here to announce an important decree today, to marry the imperial guard Fu Erkang to the Tibetan Princess Saiyan." The voice resounded throughout the hall like a bell, and then quickly spread throughout the palace and outside.
At that moment, in the Fu family compound, Bai Yinshuang, who had been joyfully awaiting Fu Erkang's return, was completely stunned upon hearing the news. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the servant who had brought her the news. Her lips trembled slightly as she asked, "How...how is this possible? Erkang never told me he was going to marry the princess! Then who...who am I?" Tears welled up in her eyes and soon streamed down her cheeks.
Madam Fu, standing by, looked at Bai Yinshuang with disdain, secretly mocking her in her heart, "She's just a lowly singer, yet she still dreams of climbing up the ranks of the Fu family. How presumptuous! Now that Erkang has been betrothed to the princess by the Emperor, how can she still have the dignity to stay here?"
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. It was Fu Erkang rushing back. Seeing him, Bai Yinshuang felt like she had grabbed a lifeline. She immediately rushed forward, tightly grasped his sleeve, and cried, "Erkang, are those rumors true? Are you really going to marry that Tibetan princess?"
Falcon's face was filled with anxiety as he quickly explained, "Yinshuang, don't worry. Let me explain. When I competed yesterday, I simply wanted to win honor for the Qing Dynasty. I had no other intentions. Who could have imagined that the Saiyan princess would publicly express her interest in me and plead with the Emperor to grant her marriage? But don't worry, I will handle this matter properly and will never let you down. You are the only one in my heart, and I only wish to be with you in this life."
Bai Yinshuang raised her head and stared at Fu Erkang through tearful eyes. Her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed. She sobbed and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
Seeing her so heartbroken, Fu Erkang couldn't help feeling proud. He quickly hugged her and comforted her softly, "Of course it's true, Yinshuang, don't cry. My heart is broken by your crying. Come on, follow me back to the yard, and I will explain it to you in detail." As he said that, he put his arm around Bai Yinshuang and walked quickly towards his yard.
Bai Yinshuang delicately stretched out her jade hand, gently pulled Erkang's sleeve, and said softly: "Erkang, I want to go back to my parents' home to visit." Now she is a princess with an extremely noble status, but what happened today really made her unhappy.
Falcon looked at the pitiful beauty before him, feeling somewhat disappointed. However, when he thought about how he would soon be able to enjoy the happiness of having two wives, he decided to indulge her for a while. So, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I'll go back with you."
Hearing this, Bai Yinshuang was filled with joy, and ran towards the door like a happy little deer.
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of Beile's mansion. However, to their surprise, the gate was closed, as if it were a cold palace that no one cared about.
Bai Yinshuang's eyebrows raised at the sight, her face sullen. She lifted her delicate hands and pounded hard on the vermilion door, muttering, "Open the door! Is anyone there?" She knocked relentlessly for a long time, panting with exhaustion, until she finally heard the sound of dragging footsteps from within.
With a creaking sound, the door slowly opened a crack, and a sleepy servant poked his head out. Before Bai Yinshuang could say anything, the servant muttered impatiently, "Such a noise! Disturbing my sleep in broad daylight!"
Bai Yinshuang's pretty face flushed with anger as she shouted, "You're blind! Don't you even recognize me? How dare you lock the door in broad daylight? How dare you! If this gets out, who knows what others will say about our Prince's Mansion!"
The servant was not afraid at all. Instead, he rolled his eyes in annoyance and responded coldly: "What Beile Mansion? This is no longer Beile Mansion! Now this house belongs to the Jia family. The previous owner resigned from his official position and retired, leaving the capital with his family. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!" After saying that, he made a gesture to close the door.
The door was closed again, but Bai Yinshuang wanted to knock on the door again in disbelief, but was stopped by Fulukang.
He pointed at the plaque above the gate and said, "Shuangshuang, look there." The words "Jia Mansion" on the plaque were still shining, and it was obvious that it was new.
Bai Yinshuang stared at the two words blankly, with only one feeling in her heart, that she seemed to have been abandoned again.
"Erkang, my father..." doesn't want her anymore?
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in Falcon's heart. This feeling was like the calm before the storm, making him anxious and uneasy.
He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of Bai Yinshuang's clothes tightly, pulling her forward quickly without saying anything, and said anxiously: "Come on, hurry back to my house with me first, this matter must be thoroughly investigated."
Faced with Fulukang's firm attitude, even though Bai Yinshuang was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to follow him back to the Fu family silently.
As the two entered the Fu Mansion, they were met with Madam Fu's cold gaze, filled with contempt and ridicule. Like a sharp arrow, it pierced Bai Yinshuang's heart, leaving her feeling uneasy and uneasy. However, no matter how aggrieved and distressed she felt, Bai Yinshuang could only force a smile and silently endure the humiliation.
Time ticked by, and night gradually fell. As the moon reached its zenith, a flurry of footsteps finally reached the door. A servant laboriously supported the drunken Falcon as he slowly entered the courtyard. The pungent reek of alcohol permeated his body, and he staggered, seemingly ready to fall.
Seeing this, Bai Yinshuang rushed forward, ignoring the nauseating smell of alcohol. She used all her strength to help Fu Erkang into the room and carefully laid him down on the bed. After everything was settled, she could no longer suppress her anxiety and worry, and couldn't wait to ask, "Erkang, what's going on? Where did my father and the others go?"
Seeing that Fulukang had no reaction, Bai Yinshuang asked several times in a row.
