Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 301: The Whole World Cries

"Tianning..." Ji Anni was suddenly speechless. Tianning's sad expression made her want to cry too.

Yes, she is obviously getting married, and she is marrying the one she loves. The princess's marriage should be a great event for everyone to celebrate, so why has it turned into a cause for everyone to cry?

Tian Ning sobbed and said, "Fang Ting also cried yesterday... Why are all of you crying? Xiao Rong is crying, and even you are crying... What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong to make you hate me so much?... Why don't you want to see me happy..."

As she spoke, the crying got louder again.

"Tianning..." Ji Anni stroked the back of Princess Tianning's hand, patted it gently and said, "You misunderstood."

After listening to Princess Tianning's crying, Ji Anni finally understood why she came to visit her in prison. It turned out that even her best friend Kang Fangting was in tears because of the engagement, so she wanted to come to Ji Anni to seek some comfort.

Unfortunately, Ji Anni couldn't say anything like congratulations. Princess Tianning's tearful face always appeared in her mind at the same time as Huarong's silent expression. Both faces made her extremely heartbroken, so she couldn't smile at all, nor could she say any words of blessing.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? If I misunderstood, tell me what the correct answer is." Princess Tianning was making a fuss like a child. In fact, perhaps this was the purpose of her sudden visit. She wanted to hear an answer from Ji Anni that could cheer her up instead of just immersing herself in painful tears.

After Princess Tianning stopped making noise, Ji Anni slowly said, "Because they all like you very much and hope that you can get real happiness, they are worried about your future. It's not that they don't care about you, or hate you... It's just that they care about you too much, so they are sad and can't laugh..."

From a friend's perspective, Ji Anni now fully understands Kang Fangting's feelings.

Kang Fangting has known Princess Tianning for a longer time, and she is Kang Xiaorong's sister, so her position is more complicated. The shock and pain brought to her by the engagement far exceeds what Ji Anni feels, so she suddenly burst into tears.

"But, but I love him..." Princess Tianning's tears flowed out crazily, and she threw herself into Ji Anni's arms and cried, "I love him, I can't control myself at all, is all this my fault?... Why does he speak coldly to me? Why is he indifferent to me?... You shouldn't blame me, you should blame him... Why did he make me fall in love with him? If he didn't make me fall in love with him... He and I, everyone, everyone... wouldn't be so painful..."

"Princess..." Ji Anni's heart ached, and she couldn't say anything. Why did she, a love idiot, have to play the role of a rational comforter? If possible, she also wanted to cry with the princess.

Princess Tianning burst into tears, crying even harder than when she was alone in her room last night. She lay in Ji Anni's arms and cried in despair, "Since he didn't like me, why did he save me in the first place? He should have just let me freeze to death by the river... Wouldn't it be easier if I died? Why... why..."

"Tian Ning, didn't he save you because he liked you? In fact, there are many kinds of love. Why can't you be more tolerant of him and allow him to love you the same way he loves his sister? Why do you have to force him?"

"I didn't, I didn't..." Princess Tianning wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and argued stubbornly, "I didn't force him, he agreed to the engagement himself. I went to see him yesterday, and he said that all the decisions were in my hands."

Kang Xiaorong had long since given up his right to choose, and he handed himself over to Princess Tianning like a toy.

If Princess Tianning refused to give up the engagement, Kang Xiaorong would not have refused the marriage proposal.

Ji Anni held Princess Tianning's shoulders and asked, "Have you decided? Princess, have you decided?"

This question is crucial. Whether the marriage contract is established or not actually depends on just one word from Princess Tianning.

At this time, Princess Tianning straightened up her upper body that was lying in Ji Anni's arms. She wiped away her tears and looked at Ji Anni quietly, but she didn't make a sound. It seemed that she was brewing an answer in silence, as if she was doing the final thinking.

"Princess..." Ji Anni became more and more anxious as she waited, and she held Princess Tianning's arm even tighter.

"I have already thought it through." Princess Tianning sniffed, blinked her red eyes and said, "As long as he doesn't ask for a breakup, I will definitely not break up. Even if I have to give up, I hope I am forced to give up, not to give up on my own initiative... Concubine Zhao Cong, I... I... I can't. If I give up on him on my own initiative, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."

It's not that she hadn't made the decision to give up this relationship, but Princess Tianning simply couldn't do it. Even if she forced herself again and again, she couldn't do what she couldn't do. It was the same no matter how many times she forced herself.

Princess Tianning has thought it through very clearly. There is only one way to make her give up completely, and that is Kang Xiaorong himself to propose to cancel the engagement. However, Kang Xiaorong's attitude is also very clear. He will not take the initiative to cancel the engagement because he does not want Huarong to be implicated.

Neither of them was willing to back down, so the situation remained at a stalemate.

As long as Kang Xiaorong recovers from his injuries and the Empress Dowager chooses an auspicious day, there will be no possibility of reversing the situation.

Everyone around them was worried about them, but the two of them were each more stubborn than the other, like two stinky stones trying to see who could win.

"Princess Zhao Congfei... Even if Brother Xiaorong doesn't like me now, maybe one day in the future, he will suddenly fall in love with me... The reason why he didn't refuse the marriage, is it because he wants to give us more time to wait for the day when we fall in love?" Princess Tianning finally stopped crying. When she expressed her good wishes to Ji Anni, her eyes were filled with longing and vision for the future.

The reason why Princess Tianning was unwilling to cancel the engagement was not only because she was unwilling to give up Kang Xiaorong, but also because of this dream.

When sadness and grief reach their peak, people will always unconsciously fantasize about the good side, looking for an optimistic answer to wake themselves up from the darkness of despair and thus alleviate their pain.

"Concubine Zhao Congfei, is that right? Is that right?" Princess Tianning suddenly grabbed Ji Anni's shoulders and shook her hard.

Her persistent eyes and anxious expression clearly told Ji Anni how much she wanted a positive answer and how much she wanted to get others' approval. As long as there was someone who agreed with her, she would become more confident, more persistent, and more certain that the beautiful future she longed for would become a reality one day.

A person who only clings to the answer she desires is fragile, because when she hears an unexpected answer, she will immediately collapse.

At this moment, Princess Tianning was like a glass doll. To destroy her, you didn't even need to move a finger. Just say a few words or shake your head, and Princess Tianning would be shattered in an instant.

Although she knew that the future Princess Tianning longed for was just an illusion, Ji Anni really couldn't bear to wake her up from her dream.

what to do……

Ji Anni felt a pain in her shoulder as it was tightly grasped by Princess Tianning.

"Concubine Zhao Cong... why are you silent? Tell me... tell me..." Princess Tianning begged in her hoarse voice, and her eyes were quickly filled with tears again.

"Princess..." Ji Anni took a deep breath, "Why are you asking me? Don't you know better than me? ... Whether he loves you, whether he will love her, whether he is likely to love you... shouldn't you know better?"

"I know, I know, but I'm asking about the future. No one can predict the future... Anything can happen in the future. I believe there must be a future, a future where he falls in love with me... Zhao Congfei, don't you think so? Is that right?"

Princess Tianning threw the question to Ji Anni again.

Ji Anni couldn't cruelly shatter her dream, so she could only close her eyes painfully, nodded, and said softly: "Yes, Princess...anything can happen in the future. There must be a future where he falls in love with you, but...there will also be many different futures...Princess, if he doesn't fall in love with you, what will you do?"

"I don't know..." Princess Tianning slowly lowered her hands. Ji Anni's question made her even more confused. "If I can't make him fall in love with me in my entire life, then I should really admit defeat and give up... However, if there is an afterlife, and if I can meet him again in the next life... I still want to continue loving him, no matter how much time it takes... I really still want to continue loving him..."

"Princess..." After hearing such an answer, what else could Ji Anni say.

There is no one in this world who can persuade the princess to change her mind.

Even if Kang Xiaorong proposed to refuse the marriage, the princess agreed to cancel the engagement, but it would not be able to melt the princess' deep love for him.

At that time, the princess will still continue to love him as a non-wife. Instead of that, why not give the princess a chance? Let her do her best to pursue happiness. But...

Thinking about Kang Xiaorong who has someone he loves, and Huarong who is unhappy, I suddenly feel that Princess Tianning's love is too overbearing. If she can finally pursue everything she desires, that's good enough. If she pursues her life and still doesn't get what she wants, then won't even Kang Xiaorong and Huarong's lifelong happiness be ruined along with Princess Tianning?

This price is too high.
