Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapters 18. The Match Plan That Failed

"What's the morning Didi came here? Shouldn't you rest, Wangxia?" Rong Xuan was sitting on the Empress throne that was in her residence, her eyes looking softly at Romg Wangxia, her only younger brother.

"Is there a reason for me to see Jiejie? I feel saturated in Rong Fu, there is nothing there," replied Rong Wangxia as he returned his brother's smile.

Rong Xuan chuckled. "Aren't you supposed to look for a Gunniang to be the next Rong Furen candidate? You're old enough to get married."

Rong Wangxia shook his head slowly. "Yet, Jiejie. I am still busy going in and out of the Empire, worried that my future wife will feel lonely. That's not good."

Rong Xuan nodded. "Alright, my Didi is a good man." Hearing Rong Xuan's praise, Rong Wangxia laughed. That moment looks very warm.

"But have you really never glanced at a Gunniang here? At least in the West?" rong Xuan asked, he was curious about his sister's tastes. From Rong Wangxia born until now, Rong Xuan had never seen his sister close to a woman. The man always runs away if the topic of conversation has led to marriage.

Rong Wangxia was silent for a moment, as if thinking. His sister's reaction made Rong Xuan surprised, because Rong Wangxia never looked confused or thought long when treated to questions about women.

"What's wrong? Is there really? My didi never thought for long for this answer. Which family is she from?" rong Xuan asked, curious.

Rong Wangxia shrugged both of his shoulders indifferently. "I didn't know this was really the feeling of being attracted to the opposite sex or just curious. I didn't dare to mention who it was, afraid that Jiejie would call that person and directly lower the marriage decree."

Rong Xuan laughed, his sister can really comfort him. All the burden of trouble that he had lately gotten was slowly forgotten, interacting with his sister was enough to make Rong Xuan feel relieved.

"Aiya .. alright, Jiejie promised to shut up. But who's Gunniang, Wangxia?" rong Xuan asked urgently, impatiently.

Rong Wangxia shook his head again. "I don't know which family he comes from, Jiejie. I've only met her once, she's only called using her title."

Rong Xuan rounded his eyes. "Title? He's a noble? From which area? What is the Capital City?"

Rong Wangxia once again shook his head. "That's a secret, Jiejie. But, despite all that, I'm reminded of the past."

"About what?"

"My arranged marriage plan is with Miss Huang's family," replied Rong Wangxia.

Rong Xuan's forehead shriveled upon hearing this. His sister still remembers that old matchmaking plan? Even he almost forgot.

"That's off, Wangxia. Da Xiaojie they have become the Guifei Emperor," Rong Xuan said, his countenance turning slightly lazy. Shows that he is not interested in discussing the miss of the Huang family.

Rong Wangxia again shook his head. "No, Jiejie. Not Da Xiaojie came out Huang, but Huang Junzhu. Er Xiaojie they are."

In a matter of not a second, Rong Xuan's gaze and countenance turned even colder. This was of course realized by Rong Wangxia, making Rong Wangxia raise his left eyebrow at a glance.

"What's up, Jiejie?" ask Rong Wangxia.

Rong Wangxia increasingly frowned. "really? No, I didn't really expect to marry her. But hadn't the Rong and Huang families met before to form the match? Although new plans, but should be discussed again if it really wants to be canceled."

Rong Xuan smiled faintly. "There's a lot of things that have changed since your departure to the West, Wangxia. Political turmoil and power, make everything change."

Rong Wangxia nodded his head in understanding. Alright ...he also didn't really care if the plan was canceled, Rong Wangxia indeed never wanted the matchmaking to happen. He just obeyed his father's words. Back then he could not dodge the matchmaking plan with Huang Mingxiang because the woman had Huangtaihou behind her.

Two years ago, many heirs of noble families flocked to propose to Huang Mingxiang. The competition is very tight, a little careless then it will lose. Almost every day the Huang family has guests. Rong Wangxia's father, Rong Tagu also did not escape trying to marry his son to Huang Mingxiang. Who wouldn't want Huang Mingxiang? The woman was extremely beautiful and talented, not to mention her incredible family background. Even without Huangtaihou's support, Huang's exit was already very shining.

The noble families were not only competing among their top, but also with the royal members. Huangtaihou, the woman attempted to marry Huang Mingxiang to her son Xiao Jihuang, the current Emperor before the late Emperor had previously passed down the decree of Xiao Jihuang's betrothal to her brother Rong Xuan.

After Huangtaihou could be said to have lost because the late Emperor had betrothed Xiao Jihuang to Rong Xuan, then the only suitor that was most likely was Rong Wangxia. Whynot? The Rong family was the number one family in the Empire, after that it was only the Huang family. They were very equal, if Rong Wangxia and Huang Mingxiang were to get married, of course it was very profitable.

Since not only was Rong's family applying and Huang Dajie reluctant to reject the other applicants outright because he was still thinking about his political relationship, Huang Dajie had not said 'yes' to their proposal, either, only a small gesture showed that the Rong family had the greatest chance of marrying his second daughter.

The proximity of Huang Dajie and Rong Tugu is getting closer even though Huang Dajie has not announced exactly who will be his second daughter-in-law. And because Rong Wangxia had to return to the West, then the discussion about their matchmaking was pushed back so that it continued to be only a plan. Huang Dajie also said that he would give a satisfactory answer after Rong Wangxia returned, but now he instead heard Huang Mingxiang had married without having any prior discussion with him and the Rong family.

"Are the Huang and Rong families not as close as they used to be?" rong Wangxia asked curiously, he had not been told any important info since his arrival yesterday. There are only small info-info such as changes in the layout of the residence and others.

Rong Xuan nodded. "Because of the Huang family's disrespectful and arbitrary attitude towards Huangtaihou, everything cracked. One month ago the election of the new Guifei Empire was opened, Huangtaihou suddenly pulled Huang Junzhu to take part in the election, whereas the woman knew that Huang Junzhu had an unwritten agreement with the Rong family. The Huang family also seemed ordinary, like nothing had happened. They continued to advance in the election without having any discussions with the Rong family, angering the father and feeling humiliated. At this time father is still very angry, health is also deteriorating because of this."

Rong Wangxia nodded. "Oh, so now Huang Junzhu has become Guifei?"

Rong Xuan shook his head again. "No. She married another man."

Rong Wangxia was getting clueless. Didn't Huang Mingxiang register himself as an imperial Guifei? Given the fleeting figure and background of the woman, she shouldn't have lost.

Seeing his sister's puzzled expression, Rong Xuan casually smiled faintly as he sipped his warm tea, after which said, "Because Huang Junzhu dared to make a cheat. He seduced the Emperor with immoral deeds, Jiejie had punished him for marrying another man."

Hearing her brother's reply, Rong Wangxia fell silent. Punishment for marrying another man? What kind of punishment is that? There seems to be a 'other story' behind this story. But Rong Wangxia did not want to think too much about it now, so he again asked, "Then ....to which family is now Huang Junzhu married?"

"Ywilson Wangye. She is now the wife of the crippled Xiao Wangye and almost never appears again on the surface. Now he has become a Wangfei" replied Rong Xuan.

Rong Wangxia widened his eyes, his forehead shrinking deeply. She's shocked.

"He ... Xiao Wangfei?" tanya Rong Wangxia.

Rong Xuan nodded, looking at his sister strangely. "true."
