Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Li Longye was fully aware of the rift between Jiang Feng and Chu Yan, but he was determined to win the former and felt sympathy for the latter.

Sooner or later, the two of them will have to face each other.

So he said, "After all, Chu Yan was the one who betrayed you first. No matter what her reasons were, she was the first to wrong you. However, she stole the jade seal for me, which was a disguised way of helping you out. We don't dare to expect you to forgive her. We just hope that we can become a family in the future and sit together politely."

After the jade seal incident, Jiang Feng repeatedly reviewed the situation and guessed that Chu Yan stole the jade seal and gave it to Li Longye. But later, she was too busy to take care of herself, and by chance, she got together with Li Longye again, and her attitude towards Chu Yan began to become contradictory.

She knew in her heart that if she accepted Li Longye, it meant she had to accept Li Longye's other women, and naturally she had to accept Chu Yan as well.

However, when she mentioned Chu Yan inadvertently, Li Longye's attitude made her feel uncomfortable.

Because she finally realized clearly that her love was not unique.

This kind of non-uniqueness and impurity originally existed only in her imagination, but today she experienced it for the first time.

The main idea of ​​Li Longye's words just now was simple and clear: she and Chu Yan must live under the same roof, and he hoped that she would let go of her grudges and embrace his life in the palace with many wives and concubines.

This feeling is terrible.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Longye said, "Chu Yan said yesterday that she is willing to surrender and serve you."

Jiang Feng laughed out loud, but his voice was a little cold. "At the banquet where Princess Taiping adopted me as her adopted daughter, Princess Xue persuaded me to marry him to make him happy, and was willing to give up her position as the principal wife to me. Today, Chu Yan lowered her status to serve me. The wives and concubines of the prince are really infatuated with him, and they are all devoted to him. I am the only one who is ignorant."

Li Longye knew that she was angry again, so he said, "I didn't mean that. I just..."

"What the prince means is that Chu Yan is willing to admit her mistake to me first and hopes that I can get along well with her." Jiang Feng said for him.

Li Longye did not comment.

Jiang Feng asked again: "Chu Yan lowered his status, did the prince agree?"

Li Longye said: "Of course not!"

Jiang Feng said: "I knew that the prince would never agree to it! So, what is the cost and price of her admitting her mistake?"

Li Longye looked unhappy and asked, "What price do you want her to pay before you forgive her?"

Jiang Feng raised his right arm and asked seriously, "The prince said that he would let her cut off one of her arms, too. How about that?"

Li Longye's face turned pale: "Nonsense!"

Jiang Feng pretended to be confused and asked, "Why is it nonsense? My arm was crippled because of her. The prince blamed me for not apologizing to her and not respecting her, and he broke my bones. Now, since she wants to apologize, she should return her arm, and we will be even. I respectfully acknowledge her as my concubine."

Li Longye looked at her with distressed eyes, but more of shock. After a long while, he said, "At that time, I was angry with you and Chu Yan..."

Li Longye looked at Jiang Feng's increasingly watery face and still finished his words: "It has nothing to do with her."

Well, she stole the seal and gave it to you, so I can't blame her; although she provoked me, in the end it was you who crushed my arm, so it has nothing to do with her.

Since Chu Yan did nothing wrong, what should she forgive?

Faced with Li Longye's constant protection of Chu Yan, Jiang Feng really didn't know what to say.

She put away her raised arms and said thoughtfully, "This is really just a problem between you and me. Don't blame others."

Li Longye looked at her and repeated: "What's the problem between us?"

Jiang Feng said: "Maybe, it's just my problem. I'm not ready to generously share my husband with others."

Listening to the man I chose deliberately making excuses for another woman.

Li Longye felt a little happy when she said that. His tone became a little gentler. He said, "You don't have to share. If you want, I'm completely yours."

Jiang Feng felt that he must have said the same thing to other women. Perhaps when Chu Yan told him sadly that she would be demoted to a concubine, he held her arm tenderly and said the same, even more affectionate and lingering, words to her.

Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, can you really live like this?!

Jiang Feng no longer wanted to discuss with him what "completely" meant!

Then he said, "Now I know what the prerequisites are for marrying you!"

Li Longye didn't ask any more questions, but just said: "What compulsory course? I want you to be happy and free!"

Jiang Feng really wants to ask, don't you think this is contradictory? !

She didn't ask the question, but just said helplessly and casually: "I hope so."

But only she herself knows how much helplessness and how much carefreeness she shows.

From then on, she had one more practice in her life. But until several years later, when she was far away in the mountains and rivers, this practice was ultimately unsuccessful.

That’s another story.

Li Longye did not allow her to return to the Jiang family, but let her go directly to Princess Taiping's mansion on the grounds that he was worried that Shen Guxing would cause trouble for her.

To her surprise, the girl did not refuse.

He noticed her depression, but he didn't ask. Sooner or later, she would have to go through this stage.

Princess Taiping was delighted to see that she had only stayed at the Jiang family for one day and then returned. Now that she had lost Qingchuan and Fangcao, she could no longer leave Jiang Feng.

Now, there are only two people who can have a say around Princess Taiping. One is Jiang Feng, and the other is the princess's male favorite, Cui Shi.

Cui Shi was born in the Bo Ling Cui family. His father was the Minister of Revenue, and he himself was also a Jinshi. He had been attached to Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Anle successively, and was promoted from the Minister of Examination to the Minister of the Secretariat. Later, he attached himself to Princess Taiping and is now the Minister of the Left.

He is a hexagonal warrior who is both talented and handsome, who is good at being an official and a good human being, and who can both serve in the court and sleep on the phoenix bed.

It is said that before Empress Wei fell, she had coveted his beauty. But he was picky about food and couldn't eat Empress Wei, so he went to Princess Anle and Princess Taiping, serving the two most noble women in the Tang Dynasty on his own.

After Princess Anle was executed, he devoted himself to the princess.

Now, he and Jiang Feng, one is responsible for the bed and the other is responsible for under the bed, and they do not interfere with each other.

That night, because Jiang Feng was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but stay with Princess Taiping for a while longer.

Cui Shi became jealous and knocked over a teacup, dropped a writing brush, and banged the inkstone on the other side of the screen.

Jiang Feng was humiliated by Li Longye, but she didn't want to let others have an easy time. She stayed by the princess' side and deliberately talked about everything from ancient times to the present.

Princess Taiping just thought it was funny and didn't chase her away. She just listened with a smile.

When she finally couldn't stand Cui Shi's various noises of driving people away and left, she thought in her heart:

It is difficult to tell which is better, a male favorite or a lover.

Although Cui Shi was a male favorite, he tried his best to stay by the princess' side all the time.

But her lover was lingering on the bed of some princess or concubine.

She is really not even as good as a male favorite!
