Fengmou in troubled times

On the evening of New Year's Eve, Feng Yinran and Fang Linyuan dressed up, boarded the carriage sent by the palace to pick them up, and went to the family banquet arranged by Emperor Zhao Fang Hua.Although it was a family banquet, all the clans in the capital were summoned. The outer hall was for the princes and viscounts to have a banquet, and the inner hall had the empress dowager and Chen Guifei to accompany the wives to talk. Even neighbors like Feng Yinran Lord Guo Xiaoyao refused to let it go, so he sent invitations over.

It is more reasonable for the invitation of the king of a country to be classified as an imperial edict.Feng Yinran didn't want to join in the excitement from the bottom of her heart, but she reluctantly agreed when she thought that Fang Linyuan didn't have the protection of her mother's family and had only just returned from Rongshao, so it would be lonely to go alone.Fang Linyuan did not say a word about this matter from the beginning to the end, but he had already prepared for him some innocuous moves of the Cangjue royal family, and asked him to order Zhen Su to pass it back to Rongshao and present it to Emperor Yin to Shu Yanrong, and also wrote a note to Emperor Zhao Helped the imperial doctor Yi Qingxing to take a long vacation, not only found a reason for Feng Yinran to stay in Cangjue, but also turned down Yi Qingxing's task of asking him to replace his identity, it can be seen that he also intended to teach him to be righteous and accompany him into the palace .

Feng Yinran thought about it, and turned her head to look at Fang Linyuan who was resting on the soft pillow. This person is good at everything, but he is very good at hiding his thoughts and emotions. He never speaks out what he wants, but always He planned in every possible way secretly, but in the end he would definitely earn it in his own hands, probably because of a deep sense of insecurity in his heart.Just like he is often uneasy now, he always feels that the relationship between himself and Fang Linyuan is too smooth, and he is afraid that he will eventually fall into the curse of the moon's gain and loss, and the reverse of things...

Fang Linyuan opened his eyes at some point, and seeing Feng Yinran staring at the two's intertwined fingers in a daze, the smile on his face couldn't help being extraordinarily gentle. "When I see my father and grandmother, I will find an excuse and leave the palace first. Let's go back to the mansion to make dumplings and watch the night, okay? Yin Ran, if you like to watch fireworks, let the mansion set up some fireworks in the front yard to watch." ,OK?"

Obviously, he is also a decisive and wise emperor outside, but when he is in front of him, he will always accommodate his feelings, as if he has to consult his opinion before making decisions.Feng Yinran couldn't help but smile at his "begrudging" appearance, "What stuffing do you want to eat?"

She couldn't help reaching out to wrap her in her arms and embrace her. The same blue clothes and a gown embroidered with python patterns were worn on Feng Yinran's body, making the person extraordinarily free and easy. Yin Ran is about to slip away from him, soar into the sky, and enjoy himself. "Make you into dumpling stuffing, and let me eat you into my stomach, so that the two of us can never be separated again."

Hearing this, Feng Yinran glared at Fang Linyuan feigning anger, just as she didn't know what to laugh, the carriage had already stopped slowly, and a beautiful palace maid with a palace lantern had already greeted them, asking them to go to the main hall to rest for a while .With the presence of outsiders, Feng Yinran didn't want to dwell on the previous topic, so she just deliberately smiled politely at the maid who led the way, which made the maid's cheeks flushed and shy.Fang Linyuan didn't understand that Feng Yinran was deliberately taking revenge on him, so he followed his will, made a jealous look, suppressed his smile and walked behind silently.

Feng Yinran thought it was funny, and was about to turn around and talk to tease him, but suddenly she saw a beautiful and delicate girl walking out of the garden in front of her. Her primrose-colored palace attire reflected her beautiful complexion even more clearly. It looks extra warm and intimate in the background. "Brother Linyuan!" Seeing the two of Fang Linyuan, the little girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she rushed over with a smile. She tripped and almost fell, but Fang Linyuan held her firmly.The little girl rubbed her ears embarrassingly, and quickly stood up in a well-behaved manner. Standing beside Fang Linyuan, she looked at Feng Yinran with a curious expression on her face, poked Fang Linyuan's arm and asked, "This is Wang Shuhou from Rongshao Kingdom, right? Brother Linyuan, why don't you hurry up and introduce Qiu'er."

After a moment of stupefaction, he realized that the girl in front of him was the daughter of King Kang of the Cangjue Kingdom, the daughter of Emperor Zhao, and Xia Yiqiu, who was childhood sweetheart with Fang Linyuan.Feng Yinran recalled that time when Fang Hua called him into the palace and asked him to bump into Linyuan chatting with Princess Yiqiu on purpose, the expression on his face was slightly unnatural.Xia Yiqiu didn't notice this, and before Fang Linyuan could speak, he smiled brightly at Feng Yinran, pestering him to talk about Rongshao's scenery.

Xia Yiqiu was so warm and familiar, but Feng Yinran was a little overwhelmed, but seeing the little girl smiling like a flower, he couldn't say no to it, so he could only deal with it in a desperate manner.In the end, Fang Linyuan interrupted him with his words, which freed him. "Qiu'er, it's time to go to the back hall to meet the empress dowager."

Mentioning the empress dowager who still controls the inner palace and refuses to divide power, Xia Yiqiu curled her lips. If she hadn't been in the palace with too many eyes staring at her and her ears pricked up, she might have said some things regardless. "Okay, okay. In a few days, I will be the host and invite you to go to the teahouse to listen to people's stories!" Although she lost her mother since she was a child and was raised by her father Kang Wang, she is very easy-going and straightforward, and she especially likes ordinary people. Live freely, and she, Princess Yiqiu, loves all those who are not respected or recognized in the palace. "It's a deal, you can't break the contract!" She stuck out her tongue and ran towards the apse with a smile, regardless of whether Feng Yinran and Fang Linyuan agreed or not.

Seeing that Xia Yiqiu ran so far away that he couldn't even see his shadow, Fang Linyuan waved away the attendants and led Feng Yinran to a pavilion in the imperial garden.This kind of palace banquet seems to be very lively, but in fact, everyone is walking on thin ice. One's own words can't wait to turn seventy or eighty bends before they can be said, and other people's words have to be broken and crumbled before thinking about it. It's really boring. tight.He, Fang Linyuan, still wants to pretend to be an idle, absurd, unambitious nominal prince, so there is no need to bother dealing with them in the past.

"Yin Ran, my father intentionally sent Qiu girl to Rongshao to Ping Yu, and later found Fang Zhu to dedicate to Emperor Yin, so I gave up the idea." Fang Linyuan paused, but did not confess that he was here. It took a lot of effort and perseverance to keep Xia Yiqiu's carefree today. "I wanted to ask Kang Wang to choose a good son-in-law as soon as possible to betroth Qiu Yatou, and I was also thinking that Qiu Yatou could find a man I liked." Fang Linyuan seemed not used to his indecision in this matter, so it can be seen that feelings are something, No matter what category it is, it must not be contaminated. "When she gets married smoothly and gets a lover's favor, my promise will be fulfilled."

Feng Yinran understood that Fang Linyuan wanted to explain his relationship with Xia Yiqiu, so he didn't say much, just listened quietly.

The pavilion was surrounded by transparent tulle, even though there was a charcoal fire next to it, Fang Linyuan was afraid that Feng Yin would freeze, anyway, there was no need to avoid it, so he used his own hands to warm him up. "When I was nine years old, it was also in the middle of winter, and my father took the clan and nobles to the paddock to hunt. It happened that the sixth imperial sister fell ill and asked the virtuous mother and concubine to stay in the palace to take care of me. My father took pity on me when I was young, so he entrusted me to Princess Kang will take care of her."

At that time, Concubine Kang had only had her daughter Xia Yiqiu for a year. As she became a mother herself, she also loved and cherished the children next to her. Seeing that the seventh prince, Fang Linyuan, was handsome, cute, and smart, she naturally took care of her herself wholeheartedly. When he woke up, how could he have imagined that he would be killed by himself.

"Concubine Kang left me to gossip in her tent that day, and even gestured to make me some clothes after returning to Beijing..." Fang Linyuan remembered that he had already started learning the art of emperor with his master at that time, and knew his biological mother. The things that Fang Rou encountered, she was full of guard against anyone, even in her smile and words, there was a strong purpose and plan.Poor Concubine Kang has always been confused by his perfect disguise, and has always pitied him for his loneliness since he was a child. After only getting along for two or three days, she was willing to treat him with all her heart.

He looked down at Feng Yinran's fingertips, maybe the weather was too cold, even the smile on his face was chilled. "While I was talking, someone came to summon her to take me to face the saint. It was the father-in-law of the queen who came. The princess didn't doubt that he was there, so she quickly changed her clothes and went out with me. Who knows, when I walked to a secluded place, I Three or two strong men jumped out, trying to push us down the hillside and pretend to be killed. If Princess Kang hadn't defended me desperately to hold them back, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape to my father and save my life." Fang Linyuan said He breathed a sigh of relief, during that time he was not as ruthless and cold-hearted as he is now. After that, he had a high fever for several days. In his dreams every night, the slender and emaciated Princess Kang was kicked and thrown off the cliff. The self who never returns his life...

However, he did not regret his decision at the time.Concubine Kang is not afraid of life and death, so he must live well to truly repay her kindness.Not only to love Yiqiu instead of Concubine Kang, but also let those who persecuted him suffer the consequences one by one!

Fang Linyuan's eyes became sharp unconsciously, like an immeasurable sword lingering in hostility, its sharpness was so sharp that it made people feel afraid.Feng Yinran, who was sitting face to face with him, was not afraid, but firmly reached out to hug him, and whispered in Fang Linyuan's ear: "Linyuan, you still have me."

Fang Linyuan didn't speak, just lowered his head slightly, put his cheek against Feng Yinran's warm neck, and nodded slowly.How could he, Fang Linyuan, let go of the treasure already in his hands...
