If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The most common activity during the New Year is the banquets held at various families.

If it were in the past, Shen Sui'an would definitely only choose to attend banquets with those she was close to, but in order to get familiar with Feng Yuanjia, she attended almost every banquet.

After meeting Feng Yuanjia several times, the two of them became familiar with each other.

However, what everyone at the table talked about most was no longer the fact that Prince Zhennan requested to be named a crown prince, but Lu Heng and Princess Guangning, who had been seen together recently.

The news of the burning of the pleasure boat never spread, and no one knew what Guangning had done.

But it is well known that she was impeached for keeping a lover. Even in this situation, Lu Heng still has no grudges. He is truly the best example of a son-in-law.

Of course, these are just after-dinner discussions, and no one would be so blind as to say them in front of the main person.

"Sui Sui, you and Guangning are sisters-in-law, and you know best about her situation at home and with her husband. Are they really so loving, or are they just doing it for show?" Princess Yongjia asked Shen Sui'an in a low voice.

Feng Yuanjia was annoyed, "How can you expect people to answer you if you ask like that?"

"Don't you want to know?" Princess Yongjia glanced at Feng Yuanjia.

Princess Yongjia and Feng Yuanjia are both sisters from the royal family, and both of them have been interacting more with Shen Sui'an recently.

"True or false, what does it matter?" Feng Yuanjia was not interested at all.

Shen Sui'an said helplessly, "I don't know. Recently, the princess and her husband have been living in the princess's mansion."

Princess Yongjia was very disappointed. She missed Qu Qingli very much. "If Li'er was here, she would definitely go with me to inquire."

Speaking of Qu Qingli, Shen Suian felt a little gloomy.

Although Feng Yuanjia had just returned to Shangjing not long ago, it didn't mean that she was unaware of what happened in Shangjing.

She and Qu Qingli had met each other when they were children.

"Leaving is not necessarily a bad thing." Feng Yuanjia comforted them.

"The Lantern Festival will be held in two days. Do you want to go and see it? I heard that this year's temple fair will be even more lively than in previous years." Yongjia said.

Shen Sui'an's heart sank. The Lantern Festival was coming so soon!

Recently, she noticed that Mrs. Lu went to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion more often, and Shi Qing reported to her today that the refugees he had previously had people keeping an eye on began to leave the city more frequently.

"Then I'll go with you." Feng Yuanjia said reluctantly.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Princess, do you also have a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival in Yunzhou?"

Feng Yuanjia: "Yes, there are, but it's probably not as lively as the capital."

It was not until the end of the banquet that Shen Sui'an found an opportunity to talk to Feng Yuanjia alone.

She got on Feng Yuanjia's carriage, and in the eyes of others, the two of them were just friends who had endless things to talk about.

"Princess, I will book a room in Yipin Building on the Lantern Festival. Please come with you and the eldest master." Shen Suian said in a low voice.

Feng Yuanjia frowned when he heard this, "Chunhua doesn't like crowded places."

"I guess the second young master will definitely invite the eldest young master out that day. I saw that the eldest young master was a kind-hearted person. Instead of letting him follow the second young master, the princess might as well take him to the Lantern Festival first." Shen Suian looked at Feng Yuanjia with calm and clear eyes.

The Lantern Festival had no meaning to Feng Chunhua at all, he couldn't see it.

Shen Sui'an is usually considerate and would never say such things for no reason.

"Sui Sui, are you hiding something from me?" Feng Yuanjia asked in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an shook her hand and said, "I have some guesses in my mind, but I can't tell you now. I just hope you can believe me this time."

Feng Yuanjia said coldly, "I believe you, but if Chunhua is in any danger, I will not let you go."

"Okay." Shen Sui'an laughed softly.

"There is one more thing." She approached Feng Yuanjia in a friendly manner, "Are you and the guards around the eldest master trustworthy?"

"In addition to the twenty guards my mother gave us, my father will also arrange some manpower..." Feng Yuanjia raised his eyes and looked at Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an said, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, find a way to get rid of the people the prince has arranged for you, and only take reliable guards with you when you go out."

"What...exactly do you mean?" Feng Yuanjia became more and more suspicious.

"Princess, just listen to my arrangements and don't reveal any clues when you go back." Shen Sui'an said in a low voice.

Feng Yuanjia looked at Shen Sui'an deeply and nodded in agreement.

After returning to the palace, she frowned, still thinking about what Shen Suian had said. Although she tried hard to control her emotions, she was still somewhat wary of the servants around her.

"Yuanjia, why are you so absent-minded?" Prince Zhennan asked gently when he saw his daughter in a trance.

Feng Yuanjia came back to her senses. She glanced at Concubine Bai and was secretly angry in her heart. She told her not to show any clues, but she couldn't hide her thoughts.

"Father, I heard something today, but I don't know whether it's true or not." Feng Yuanjia quickly talked about another thing to cover up his abnormality.

The King of Zhennan looked slightly restrained, "What did you hear?"

"I heard that the emperor wants to keep us as hostages." Feng Yuanjia said in a low voice.

Concubine Bai's expression also changed slightly, and she looked at Prince Zhennan anxiously.

Anger flashed across the handsome face of the Zhennan King. "Who is gossiping outside?"

"Your Highness, does the Emperor really not have this intention?" Concubine Bai had made some progress, and if she wanted to leave a hostage, her son should be the most likely candidate.

After all, once the Lantern Festival is over, the position of the crown prince will be decided.

How could she let her son stay in Shangjing City?

Prince Zhennan's face was gloomy. The emperor did have this intention, but he did not propose to keep the prince.

In fact, in his heart, what he was most reluctant to part with were his two legitimate children.

This is the child he and his beloved had. If Chunhua had not had an eye disease, he would never have had a bastard son in his life.

But if Shenghua is the prince, it would be even more inappropriate for him to stay in Shangjing.

Once the prince of Zhennan Palace is taught and controlled by the emperor, Yunzhou and Zhennan Palace will sooner or later be taken back into the hands of the emperor.

Prince Zhennan was caught in a dilemma.

But he didn't want the children to start worrying at this time.

"I will not let any of you stay." Prince Zhennan said in a deep voice.

Feng Yuanjia's heart ached, knowing that this was the case.

She knew that if things could not be changed in the end, Chunhua would be the one left behind.

The king loves them, but he also loves the power of Yunzhou.

Otherwise there would be no Concubine Bai.

If my mother knew about this, she would definitely be sad.

"We all believe in the prince." Concubine Bai said softly, "The princess is still looking forward to the children's return."

"The Lantern Festival will be held in two days, why don't I take the kids out to join in the fun."

Before the King of Zhennan could speak, Feng Yuanjia said coldly, "No need, we have already made an appointment with Madam Lu."

Concubine Bai said disappointedly, "That's such a pity."

I didn't expect Feng Yuanjia to be so close to Shen Sui'an.

It really makes things easier for them.

Prince Zhennan instructed Feng Yuanjia, "Then you take good care of Chunhua."

"Yes, Father."

Feng Shenghua lowered his head. Outsiders said that his father loved him the most, but what was the truth? As long as Feng Chunhua and his sister were around, his father would care about them first.

The fact that you value him is just for show to others.
