Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Jiang Feng was stunned! What kind of plot was this?

Princess Taiping actually wanted to adopt her as her adopted daughter!

Aunt Fangcao said that since Princess Taiping wanted to recognize her, she could no longer call Madam Shen her stepmother. She proposed that Princess Taiping's mansion cancel the marriage and asked Jiang Feng what he thought!

Jiang Feng's mind was in turmoil. If it were the current situation, she would definitely be willing!

But what about long-term planning? She knew clearly what would happen to Princess Taiping - in just two or three years, she would fail and die!

If she got too close to Princess Taiping, or even became her adopted daughter, would it arouse the fear and disgust of the new emperor Li Longji?

But what should she do now? Princess Taiping wants to recognize her? Can she refuse? If she refuses, will the world be at peace?

What should she do now?

In the end, Jiang Feng, who was hot-headed, came to the same conclusion as before: take one step at a time and enjoy every second of comfort.

Moreover, the original stepmother wanted to cover up her identity. Her family canceled her marriage, but they also wanted to show their magnanimity and responsibility, so they gave her such a title to stop people from talking.

She was a person of little influence and had to protect her reputation, so she had to admit it.

Now, she finally had a choice, and it seemed that she could vent her anger, so she agreed immediately.

Seeing that Jiang Feng agreed without hesitation, Fangcao went to make the arrangements without saying anything else.

Compared to the day when Jiang Feng was on the sickbed and became someone's goddaughter for no apparent reason, the ceremony and process of recognizing Princess Taiping as his stepmother could not be more rigorous and grand.

He first informed the Jiang residence and easily obtained the approval of the three elders of the Jiang family.

Then Aunt Fangcao went to the Shen residence and wanted to adopt Jiang Feng as her daughter, saying that Princess Taiping liked Jiang Feng's straightforward character. However, this was suspected of stealing the love of the princess, but she hoped that Mrs. Shen would reluctantly give up her daughter for the sake of the princess's own daughters marrying far away. How could Shen's mother dare not refuse? The princess's residence also gave gold, Ruyi and other things to show her gratitude.

Finally, a grand recognition ceremony was held in the villa in Zhongnan Mountain, and people from all walks of life in Chang'an City attended.

Get up early and enjoy the river breeze.

After packing up, he went to see Princess Taiping, who was in a trance for a moment.

Jiang Feng saw Princess Taiping waving at her and went over obediently. The two of them came to the hall together.

Princess Taiping is in front, with unparalleled beauty, and Jiang Feng is on the side, shining brightly.

The women all kowtowed to the princess. Although Jiang Feng stood dignified, she was unsure. She was supposed to be below and kowtow to the nobles. But now she was standing behind the princess to receive the respects of everyone. She felt like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger.

Princess Taiping, however, was familiar with the procedure and smiled as she asked for no further ceremony.

Everyone thanked her and stood up. Her voice was not loud but became more and more majestic: "My two daughters are married far away, and my three sons have all started their own families. I feel lonely. Originally, Ji An was by my side, but now that girl is married, I can't let her stay with me every day. It would seem tactless."

At this point, Princess Taiping pulled Jiang Feng over and continued, "So I adopted this girl as my daughter to relieve my sadness. She has a lively personality, very much like me when I was young. I know that some of you grew up in the deep palace, and some have many rules in their families, and I don't like this lazy personality. But Ah Feng will live in my princess mansion for a long time in the future, and will have many interactions with you. If anyone restrains her, I will not allow it!"

Everyone below was either shocked or angry. This was too protective of her. What she meant was that Jiang Feng might not know the rules, that was just his nature. No one could gossip about him. If she found out, she would never forgive him.

Jiang Feng's scalp tingled after hearing this. Although she acknowledged the princess as her stepmother, how could she dare to be lazy and unrestrained? How many people dared not behave themselves!

Everyone had a thousand thoughts in their mind, but they all laughed and said, "How dare we!"

As the protagonist, Jiang Feng has attracted much attention.

Those who originally wanted to please Princess Taiping began to try to save the country in a roundabout way and get close to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng didn't know most of them, but he only knew Dou Huaizheng's wife.

When their family first arrived in Chang'an, Jiang Fei and Dou Ding's marriage had not yet fallen through, and Dou Huaizhen, as Dou Huairang's brother, was also related to the Jiang family. Jiang's mother followed etiquette and brought Jiang Feng to visit, but Mrs. Dou rolled her eyes and didn't even serve tea.

But now he speaks softly and with a kind face.

It is true: “When you are successful, you will be surrounded by good people.”

Jiang Feng certainly didn't dare to be negligent and dealt with Mrs. Dou respectfully and politely. It turned out that it was not difficult to pretend to be nice when someone agreed with him.

Just after dealing with Madam Dou, Li Longye's two princesses and the Princess of Ji'an came towards her.

Her scalp tightened. Was this configuration a card collection? It collected all the parties involved in the extremely bloody love triangle in Chang'an City!

Although Jiang Feng was still indignant when he saw Chu Yan, he dared not be rude again when he thought of Li Longye's life-saving grace.

Fortunately, now that they have the title of Taiping Gongzi Nu, they no longer have to perform that great ceremony.

Princess Xue was originally pretty, but with the extremely beautiful Chu Yan and Princess Ji'an on either side, she was really overshadowed, with only elegance and dignity left.

Jiang Feng bowed his knees slightly, still politely: "Princess. County Lady."

Princess Xue took a step forward, gave him a false support, and said with a smile: "Why be so polite? You are living with your aunt, and we must visit each other often in the future. Being so polite will only make things awkward."

Jiang Feng said: "Then I'd better obey your command."

The two were polite and courteous in their interactions. Although they were not cordial, they were definitely not as tense as before. This kind of relationship was just right between the two of them.

At this time, Chu Yan interrupted and said, "I heard that my sister was sick a few days ago, and the princess was also upset. She wanted to visit you many times, but the prince refused! Today I can finally see my sister."

Princess Xue looked displeased. Why didn’t Jiang Feng realize that Chu Yan was so annoying before?

"I am grateful for your concern, Princess. But I was ill at the time, with a wound on my face, so it was difficult for me to see anyone. Although I was staying at the Princess's house at the time, even the Princess was afraid to pay me a visit, as her injuries were horrific and she was afraid of being abrupt." After saying this, he was still annoyed by Chu Yan's behavior of inciting the fire, so he continued, "The Princess is kind-hearted and a role model for women. Sister Chu Yan was a beautiful woman, and she was influenced by her. She must have been worried about me at that time, right?"

Everyone knew that Chu Yan had been close to Jiang Feng. Last time in the Princess's mansion, everyone looked down on her, and it was Jiang Feng who protected her in every possible way.

Unexpectedly, she turned around and married Prince Xue. It is said that in order to stop it, Jiang Feng had a falling out with Li Longye, which made him seriously ill, and Chu Yan successfully married into the palace.

Back then, from Liangzhou to Chang'an, the topic of Li Longye and Jiang Feng's CP was second only to the topic of Shen Guxing and Jiang Feng. Everyone could see how passionate Li Longye was about Jiang Feng.

It is true that newcomers are better than old ones!

No matter how flawless Li Longye's actions were, Chu Yan still bore the reputation of being treacherous.

Jiang Feng's question revealed Chu Yan's true colors again.

Chu Yan blushed and said unnaturally: "Of course!"

Princess Xue showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips and said, "You two are sisters! Concubine Jiang naturally misses you more than I do."

Everyone heard the sarcasm in Princess Xue's words. Chu Yan's face turned pale again and he remained silent.

Princess Ji'an was not happy that Jiang Feng had taken away her dignity in front of Princess Taiping. In addition to the past disputes, she smiled and said, "Uncle Wu is really brave. He fought against the commoner Wei alone to save Afeng. No wonder Afeng said during the Lantern Festival that if she married the Prince of Zhongshan, there would be no need for others to worry about her! I just thought it was a joke, but it turns out that Uncle Wu has deep feelings for you!"

Quoting out of context! Fanning the flames! Spreading false information! It just goes on and on!

Jiang Feng also knows how to make up lies. Anyway, he has no evidence, so he said, "Both princesses are here, so be careful what you say! During the Lantern Festival, it was the princess who said that she couldn't stand Concubine Chu's beauty entering the palace, so she wanted to help me marry into the palace. I refused in every way, but you just didn't believe me, so I said that. Wei and her daughter acted rebellious and beat and scolded the palace maids. I once served in the palace and suffered a lot from them, and almost lost my life. The prince rescued me first, and then the princess took me in. Later, your majesty and the princess came to the palace to plead for me, so I escaped. The former was cruel and was executed; your majesty was kind and finally ascended the throne. Your majesty taught by words and deeds, and the prince and the princes sympathized with the servants, acted upright, and couldn't bear to see the people suffer. It is true that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! What the princess said was just about love, which underestimated the prince's vision!"

Come on, come over here!

The Princess of Ji'an County didn't expect that Jiang Feng would start to gain value with just one sentence from her! This routine has always been hers. She really thought that others had taken her path and left her with no way to go!

How can that work!

"Everything else is fine, but Princess Cheng'an is pitiful. She originally just made a living under Wei and Anle, and was not involved in those things. Just because she offended you that day, Fifth Uncle wouldn't let her go, and now she is still in custody. It's really miserable. You might as well go and beg Fifth Uncle to release her." The Princess of Ji'an County said again.

Princess Xue and Cheng An also had a friendship. They had drunk tea and admired flowers together. Although he was a little domineering, he was not wrong. Hearing Ji An's words, she thought that Li Longye had been staring at Cheng An to vent his anger on Jiang Feng.

As a result, Princess Xue's face also looked unhappy.

Jiang Feng's head was really buzzing! The life of the Princess of Ji'an was boring, so she came to her to find some spice!

"Although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I also know that since your majesty ascended the throne, he has been dealing with old matters. The Wei family controlled the government, and there were many problems. There are countless connections between all the things. Take Princess Cheng'an for example. Her husband Wei Jie is the leader of the Wanqi Battalion. When the Crown Prince and the two princes were fighting against the rebellion, Wei Jie had been resisting stubbornly. He almost hurt the Crown Prince. It was really dangerous! Now I think, if those who are attached to the Wei family are as ignorant of the current situation as Wei Jie, what situation would you be in now? This is the first point. The second point is that Princess Cheng'an Although the princess is not Wei's biological daughter, she is really close to Wei and has also opened a palace. Did she sell "slanted official positions"? Did she rob people's houses? These need to be carefully investigated. It is understandable that there is no result for the time being. Third, the detention is just to find out the facts. If Cheng'an is not guilty, he will be released from detention after the investigation. Why should he plead for mercy? But if he is really guilty..." Jiang Feng paused and looked at the expressions of the three people. Except for Chu Yan, Princess Xue and Princess Ji'an knew the cruelty of political struggle. The new emperor wants to establish his authority? Who is she? Go and plead for others.

"If he is really guilty, His Majesty will make the decision. How dare others make irresponsible comments!" Jiang Feng continued to add.

The four of them each had their own thoughts and remained silent for a while.

Only Chu Yan truly realized for the first time that he and Jiang Feng were not on the same level at all.

She listened to Jiang Feng's talk, and she felt very conflicted. On the one hand, she envied her for having grown up in a good family and being well-read, but on the other hand, she felt that she was not much better than herself, and she was even more beautiful than her.

But why was her situation so different? Although she married Li Longye and became a superior person, she attached herself to Princess Taiping and began to lecture her.

She felt both ashamed and annoyed, but more of it was her endless hatred towards Jiang Feng. She didn't even know where all that hatred came from.

Princess Xue had other ideas, so she asked, "Miss Afeng, can you please excuse me for a moment?"

Chu Yan was resentful. The Princess of Ji'an County returned in defeat and her face was not looking good.

Jiang Feng followed Princess Xue to the side and asked, "Princess, please speak."

Princess Xue thought for a long time, bowed and said, "I was narrow-minded before, please forgive me if I have offended you."

Jiang Feng didn't dare to accept Princess Xue's greeting, and he didn't know what she was up to, so he quickly bowed down and said, "What are you doing, Madam? You are embarrassing me."

Princess Xue stood up, thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the prince came back from Liangzhou, he has been depressed. I am stupid... I can never cheer him up. As a woman, I used to hate you very much. I even hated you for a while when the prince ignored Empress Wei's attack and would rather go to jail than hand you over... But as his wife, I hope he can be happy. I don't know what happened between you and the prince, but the prince once said that you would never marry a concubine. Today, if you can make the prince happy, I can give up the position of the principal wife..."

Jiang Feng was shocked. Has Princess Xue become so magnanimous?

Li Longye is really good at controlling his wife! Jiang Feng can't even compare to him in this aspect!

Perhaps she didn't control her expression well, Princess Xue thought she didn't believe it, so she added: "You are my aunt's adopted daughter now, and being the principal wife of Prince Xue is also a good match!"

It was not until this moment that Jiang Feng finally understood Princess Xue's true intentions, and secretly sighed that everyone was very cunning. These wealthy ladies had nothing to do every day but study their husbands.

Li Longye saved her and had lingered with Princess Taiping for many years. Now Jiang Feng also adopted Princess Taiping as his adopted daughter.

Wei Huazhuang immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Shen Guxing and Ji An are in love with each other, so they will definitely not marry Jiang Feng again. Will Jiang Feng's target turn to Li Longye again? With Princess Taiping's domineering and protective personality, if she really likes Jiang Feng, how could she let her be a concubine?

Back then, Princess Taiping wanted to marry Xue Shao, but Xue Shao already had a wife, so Wu Zetian ordered the death of Xue Shao's original wife.

Later, Xue Shao's eldest sister-in-law was ordered to be executed because of her humble status and was not worthy of being the princess's sister-in-law.
