After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

After making up his mind, Fu Yutang walked quickly towards the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice is located in the east of the city, not too far from Changxing Street where Fu Yutang is located. It takes about two cups of tea to walk there on weekdays.

But because today is the Spring Equinox, the Daning Dynasty has always had the custom of traveling on the Spring Equinox. The streets are bustling with people and cars, and there are many men, women, old and young giving each other bouquets of flowers on the roadside, causing the originally spacious streets to be extremely crowded. It took Fu Yutang half an hour to walk the distance that should have been two cups of tea.

Fu Yutang was a little surprised when he first saw everyone giving each other flowers. But when he learned that in addition to traveling on the Spring Equinox, the Daning Dynasty also had the tradition of giving flowers to others as a blessing, Fu Yutang suddenly realized.

Spring Equinox is such a romantic solar term.

With a sigh in his heart, Fu Yutang carefully avoided the passers-by and continued to move forward. At this moment, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.

"A Tang."

Fu Yutang heard the voice and turned to look over.

In the spring sunshine, the handsome young man was wearing a red robe with arrow-shaped sleeves. His ponytail was tied up high with a black headband embroidered with silver thread, the same as the sleeves. In his arms, he was holding a bunch of purple-leaf peach blossoms in full bloom. His eyes were slightly curved, and his pupils were black and bright, like the sun in the early morning, full of clear and brilliant light.

Fu Yutang stared at him in a daze, "Feng Xingling...Prince, didn't you go to Shangyun City? When did you come back?"

"I just got back. I went to your house to look for you, but the concierge said you were out, so I followed you all the way here." Feng Xingling looked at her with a smile, took out a small portion of the bouquet in his hand, stuffed the rest into her arms, and said with a bright smile: "Didn't you say before that you had never seen the peach blossoms in Shangyun City? I brought them to you this time. After seeing them, you can be considered to have been to Shangyun City."

Fu Yutang took it blankly, looked at the peach blossoms in his arms that were as bright as freshly picked, then looked at the young man in front of him. Apart from the word "thank you", he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xingling immediately said exaggeratedly when he heard it: "Wow, did the sun rise from the west today? You, Fu Yutang, actually said thank you to me?"

Fu Yutang froze slightly, hugged the bouquet tightly in his arms, and said solemnly: "You brought me peach blossoms from Shangyun City, which fulfilled my wish. I must thank you. Moreover, Shangyun City is quite far from the capital, but you took care of these flowers so vividly and brightly, which shows that you spent a lot of effort along the way. Such a thoughtfulness naturally deserves my thanks."

It was just a joke, but Feng Xingling didn't expect it would lead to Fu Yutang's serious remarks. He felt a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said uncomfortably: "It didn't take much thought. If it weren't for the emperor's uncle making trouble, you would have had time to see the scenery of Shangyun City with me, instead of being dragged to the capital now..."

At this point, he couldn't help but think of the rumors he heard on the way back to Beijing. He couldn't help but sigh, half complaining and half helplessly saying: "The emperor's uncle is really getting more and more confused. When my father was here, he at least restrained himself. Now that my brother is in power, he relies on his elder status to start having wild thoughts and fantasizes about becoming king or emperor. I don't know what to say to him."

Wouldn't it be nice to just be a leisurely prince?

At least you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. But once you ascend the throne, you will be locked in the imperial city for the rest of your life, and your every word and action will be watched by historians and censors. You really don't have any freedom at all.

In Feng Xingling's eyes, that was not the throne above everyone else, but a gorgeous cage!
