Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Despite Jiang Feng's repeated refusals, Princess Taiping still gave her the two boxes.

For Princess Taiping, this may be just a drop in the bucket, but for Jiang Feng, it is equivalent to achieving financial freedom.

Princess Taiping teased her that when she was no longer able to control herself in the future, she would have the final say over these yellow and white things.

Jiang Feng hugged Princess Taiping's arm and said, "When you have no money, you are not afraid of anything. Now that you have money, you cherish your life and money. You are always worried that you will lose your money when you are alive, or that you will die without spending your money. In short, you are afraid that you will lose all your autonomy."

Princess Taiping tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Anyone who thinks this way is probably a poor person."

It seems so.

On the second day, Princess Taiping ordered people to pack up Jiang Feng's things and send him back to the Jiang Mansion.

When the river wind comes, we are naked.

She was half confused and half awake at that time. Taking advantage of the darkness of night, she was hidden by Li Longye, taken through the corner gate, and placed in a side hall of the princess's mansion.

But when she went, she was in great glory.

Princess Taiping ordered her son, Xue Chongjian, Duke of Ying, to escort him personally.

It took several large carts to carry items of all sizes.

She seemed to have looted Princess Taiping's mansion.

Jiang Feng really didn't expect that there would be several large trucks of items today.

She opened them one by one in disbelief. She had once praised the nanmu cabinet with gold-painted landscapes and figures as "luxurious"; the maid screen had always been placed in her bedroom; the dressing table she had said was only worthy of being used by a fairy concubine; the calligraphy and paintings were originals she had copied; the materials she had designed into a high-split cheongsam...

In short, anything she showed any admiration or liking was packed away.

There are even beds, tables and chairs, even bathtubs, cupboards, and treasure barrels for children and grandchildren. This is the rhythm of preparing all the dowry.

Jiang Feng read them one by one and felt depressed.

Xue Chongjian deliberately complained to Princess Taiping in anger, saying, "Mother, you see, she is still not satisfied."

Princess Taiping smiled and said, "It's hard for me to guess what Afeng is thinking right now. Is it too little? Or is it too much?"

Jiang Feng said: "I guessed what the queen was thinking."

Princess Taiping continued to smile and said, "Oh?"

Jiang Feng said: "The Queen wants to break up with me. From now on, I will no longer have any ties with the Princess Taiping Mansion."

Princess Taiping continued to smile but said nothing.

Jiang Feng guessed the princess's thoughts correctly.

Xue Chongjian didn't understand. He just gave her some gifts, so why did she break off the friendship with him? This didn't make sense.

Princess Taiping said calmly, "You saved my life, and you are my adopted daughter. In addition, when you get married and have children, I, as your adopted mother, must show some appreciation. All things considered, these things are not that heavy."

Xue Chongjian was completely confused and said, "Mother is joking too. She is going to marry Wu Lang, so won't mother give her a dowry? How come everything is calculated at once?"

Princess Taiping and Jiang Feng remained silent.

Fangcao looked sad.

Xue Chongjian patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder and said, "Did you offend your mother? You are getting more and more courageous."

Jiang Feng thought to himself, Comrade Xue Chongjian really has a very high EQ and IQ.

Princess Taiping said: "Okay. You can go back now. Let your brother see you off."

Jiang Feng knelt down, kowtowed three times in a proper manner, and said loudly: "May my dear mother live a long life!"

When Princess Taiping heard Jiang Feng call her a loving mother for the first and last time, she said, "My son, please go now. Once you leave this door, you will have nothing to do with the Princess's Mansion anymore. Go now!"

This is the first and last time I call you my son.

Two women, one is the Princess Taiping who has been shining for five thousand years and has defended the country; the other is an ordinary girl whose soul goes upstream and returns to the Tang Dynasty.

One collects all the desolate setting sun, the other burns and spreads the morning light.

They will each go their own way. No one can replace the other, and no one can convince the other.

Jiang Feng is more determined than ever with each step he takes, and he will never look back.

Princess Taiping kept watching her, seeing her walk around the colorful flowers and turn the corners of the numerous houses.

Then he said to Fangcao: "This girl is really cruel."

Fangcao said: "If the princess is reluctant, why bother..."

Princess Taiping said: "It's better to be cruel, then no one can hurt her."

……

Xue Chongjian sent her to Jiang's house with a look of lawsuit on his face.

In a rare move, the whole family lined up to welcome her.

Xue Chongjian was invited to have lunch with him, and he did not refuse.

Qia Jiang Zuo, Jiang You and brother-in-law Liu are all here and can accompany the Duke well.

Jiang's mother and Zhang Yuyue were busy putting Jiang Feng's things away, but they found that one warehouse could not hold them all. They had no choice but to vacate Jiang Fei's house.

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't object.

Or maybe she was busy looking at the gift Princess Taiping gave her.

In the evening, the fat boy from Jiang Lan's family felt a little unwell, so Jiang Lan and Liu Nezhi went back early.

Father Jiang drank too much with Duke Ying at noon and kept complaining of a headache. Mother Jiang and Aunt Yun took care of him inside and outside.

Zhang Yuyue was pregnant and suffered from severe morning sickness. Jiang Zuo felt sorry for her and went to take care of her.

At the dinner table, there were only Old Mrs. Jiang, Jiang You and Jiang Feng.

The family dinner we had planned ended up being a lonely gathering.

Three people sat together to eat, and two of them felt awkward.

The other was totally confused.

What he said made the situation even more awkward.

"Why didn't Ah Fei come back? Grandma, can you tell her if Jiang Feng came back today?"

Well, during the autumn hunt, Princess Taiping drove Jiang Fei out of the banquet in order to vent her anger. She probably blamed Jiang Feng for this.

"Shen Guxing wants to divorce the county lady. I wonder if he still has feelings for you."

Maybe.

"During the time when you entered the palace, Ah Hui stayed in Chang'an for quite a while."

Yes, he was threatened by Li Longye, and together with his brothers Ji and Ye, he killed Empress Wei and Princess Anle.

"Those brothers all said that Ah Hui came to Chang'an for a girl. But at that time, it was he who didn't go to Ah Fei."

Jiang Feng was speechless. This guy's train of thought was so strange.

"Snapped"!

Old Mrs. Jiang put the bowl heavily on the table.

Finally someone couldn't stand it anymore.

Old Lady Jiang said, "Your second sister has married the Crown Prince. Don't mention these trivial matters anymore! If anyone mentions them again, I will tear his mouth apart."

Jiang You curled his lips and muttered, "The prince knows all about those things."

Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she hit him on the head with chopsticks and cursed, "Speak again!"

Jiang You dodged and Old Lady Jiang's attack missed.

Jiang You just thought that Old Lady Jiang didn't believe it, and added: "A few days ago, the prince and Ah Fei had a fight because of this."

Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she almost died.

Jiang Feng ate with gusto.

On the second day, the official news that Princess Taiping had moved to the eastern capital Luoyang was released.

At the same time, Li Longye was sent to Liangzhou to serve as governor.

The kings of Shen and Qi also took over local governors.

Only two princes were left in Chang'an City, Prince Ning Li Chengqi and Crown Prince Li Longji.
