New·New Consort

A burst of sweet and warm aroma penetrated the pores of the breath, and drove straight into the lungs, rampaging all the way, and finally clenched the empty stomach viciously.

Feng Suzhen woke up from this pain.

After getting familiar with the bright light, the first thing that catches the eye is Tianxiang rushing over.For a moment, she saw the tired and tearful eyes on that little face.

Feng Suzhen smiled slightly, and wanted to reach out to pinch her cheeks, only to find that her whole body was weak and could not lift herself up at all.Her heart sank, she raised her breath and found that the dantian was empty.

She immediately understood what was happening, and sighed in bewilderment.

Tian Xiang hurriedly grabbed her hand and stuck it to her cheek, her eyes were filled with regret, but she didn't say a word.

Feng Suzhen stared at those wet eyes, and smiled unconsciously: "I'm not promising, why are you crying again? Am I doing well?"

Tianxiang didn't speak, just pursed her lips, tears flowed down and wet Feng Suzhen's palm.

Feng Suzhen's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be the emperor?"

Tianxiang shook her head quickly, tears streaming down more and more.

Feng Suzhen was even more at a loss: "What made you so sad?" She didn't know if she was infected by Tianxiang, but she also felt a little sore in her heart, "Could it be that I will be a useless person from now on..."

Tianxiang finally spoke: "No...not." The voice was vague, as if there was something still in his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, white mist could be seen coming out.

Tianxiang blushed, hurriedly ran to the side to spit out what was in her mouth, and said aggrievedly: "I'm burnt to death..."

Feng Suzhen woke up neither too early nor too late, it was the noon time of passing meals.Tianxiang was hungry all night, so she picked up the Laba porridge that she didn't drink yesterday, and suddenly saw that she opened her eyes out of the corner of her eye, and a mouthful of hot porridge stuck in her throat, so hot that she couldn't speak .

Feng Suzhen laughed dumbfounded, and said softly: "...Princess, I'm hungry."

The palace servants brought in porridge, Tianxiang helped Feng Suzhen up, held a bowl and fed her.

Feng Suzhen was full of emotions: "A few days ago I was still feeding you, Feng Shui takes turns..."

Tianxiang's eye sockets became hot again: "Why are you so stupid, why didn't you tell me that you were injured? If I knew that you were injured internally, I wouldn't let you work so hard like this!"

Feng Suzhen smiled wryly: "At that time, how could there be time to say anything?"

Tianxiang scolded: "Then you shouldn't push yourself so hard..."

Feng Suzhen said earnestly: "I only know that he is your father and your relative. His life is at stake, and you have panicked like that. How can I care about myself?"

"You—" Tian Xiang was speechless for a while, and could only say angrily, "You idiot..."

Feng Suzhen asked with a stern look: "Then do you like me as an idiot?"

Tianxiang was stunned: "You—"

A trace of disappointment flashed across Feng Suzhen's face: "Now that I have no kung fu, my 'useful' has become 'useless'. Are you afraid that you don't like me?"

Tianxiang hurriedly said: "What nonsense! Regardless of whether you have martial arts or not, you are my 'useful', and you are my favorite Feng Suzhen!"

Feng Suzhen smiled, and held Tianxiang's hand with difficulty: "So, you still like me, an idiot."

"Cough——" There was a light cough from outside the door, and a person stepped into the room——Boss Wang's serious expression was a little embarrassed: "I just heard from the palace people that Miss Feng woke up..."

"Why is big companion here?" Tianxiang asked in surprise.

Manager Wang pretended not to notice the hands they were holding, and said without looking sideways: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is in the study to invite you over."

Tianxiang asked strangely: "What did my brother ask me to do? Why didn't he come here by himself?"

Manager Wang said with a sneer: "It seems that the Ministry of Rites has sent another batch of rosters of ladies, and the crown prince wants you to go and have a look."

Tianxiang was surprised: "Is the father awake? Why is the prince brother still interested in looking at the roster at this time?"

Manager Wang explained: "The emperor woke up in the morning, and now he fell asleep again. Princess, the crown prince will be 21 after the new year. The emperor has ordered that this matter must be settled before the regular court in the middle of the month. Today is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. It's been a few days. This matter should have been handed over to Concubine Ju, but now she—"

Tianxiang knew about Concubine Ju's hair loss yesterday, and she understood it for a while.

She glanced at Feng Suzhen with some hesitation.

Feng Suzhen said knowingly: "Go, I'm fine here."

However, Tianxiang procrastinated for a while, fed Feng Suzhen the rest of the porridge, and cared about it for fear of being careless, and then left under the urging voice of Director Wang's three requests and four reminders.

The prince's study looked very messy, with half piled with memorials, manuscripts, and other writing papers, and half piled with tools and wood—fortunately, no gunpowder was piled up.

When Tianxiang came in, the prince was resting on the table with his head propped up.She walked around quietly and came closer, and saw an album under the prince's elbow, and a tall stack on the other side.

She picked up a book at random, flipped through it, and immediately covered her forehead—these painters probably had to collect money from each family to draw such an effect that everyone is alike.

She flipped through a few other books, and couldn't help recalling the appearances of the married ladies she had seen in her previous life.

Reminiscing back and forth, the empress's sister-in-law in the previous life was the most pleasing to the eye... It's a pity that my elder brother was worried and never treated her well. collapsed.

She couldn't help but sigh.

The prince next to him tilted his body and woke up: "Huh? Tianxiang, you're here..."

Tianxiang said distressedly: "Brother, did you sleep last night? Why don't you rest for a while."

The prince got up and drank a cup of herbal tea: "It's okay, it's okay, I slept last night——have you read all these rosters?"

Tianxiang pursed her mouth: "These brochures draw every lady from every family to look like Yang Yuhuan, nothing can be seen at all!"

The prince smiled and said: "Of course I can't see anything. The most is to let you see your family background and age. If you want to see your appearance, you still have to be summoned into the palace."

Tianxiang said meaningfully: "Brother, Miss Meizhu has become a member of the Feng family, and now she is the second daughter of the Feng family."

"Oh..." The crown prince replied, "I already know, what you told me is that Miss Feng Shuzhen... Very good, very good, then she will have a good background..."

The prince was calm, Tianxiang became uncertain: "Brother, I remember that you had a very good relationship with her at the beginning." Could it be that because he took the elder brother away by himself, he broke the relationship between the two of them?

The prince raised his young face, showing a bit of youthful embarrassment: "Yes, at that time, I liked her very much, and I also knew that she liked me."

Tianxiang was confused: "Then you now—"

"Tianxiang, I am the prince now, but in the future, I will be the emperor," the prince said with a straight face, "I am the emperor who has shouldered many responsibilities. But Meizhu, her heart is very small, she can only see me, but not me." The crown robes on me."

He considered his words and said slowly: "Maybe, if I marry her, we will have a happy time, but what about after that? What about after that?"

Tianxiang's heart was shocked.

Official women like the emperor's wife in the previous life were all struggling to support in the harem. If they had the pure nature of Meizhu who dared to love and hate, how could they cope with the open and secret struggles inside and outside the court, and how could they face the bloody storm of royal blood relatives? , How can he retreat in this muddy water?

The prince lowered his voice: "Sister, I have been helpless for so many years. I need a queen who can withstand the wind and rain and walk side by side with me."

Tianxiang was slightly sour in her heart, and then relieved for a while, her brother thought very clearly: "Don't worry, brother, I will stand by your side."

"I don't just need you to stand," the prince said, "Concubine Ju will be an outsider practicing in the palace from now on. I'm afraid I need you to help with my marriage."

Tian Xiang fully agreed: "Brother, don't worry, I can handle this matter!"

The prince nodded, hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, I have someone in mind. But, I only met her once, and I don't know much about her temperament, so I need you to help me check it out."

"Huh?" Tianxiang was surprised, "Which lady does my brother have a crush on?"

"A few days ago, I also went to give gifts to the concubine of Yongning County's birthday. During the banquet, I saw a modest woman. I found out later that it was the daughter of Mr. Chen Ge." The prince recalled the gentleness of that person. With a beautiful appearance, the corners of her lips raised slightly inadvertently,

"Chen, old Chen Ge?" Tianxiang couldn't hide her astonishment.

The prince then explained again: "Mr. Chen Ge has a gentle temperament and qualifications. He is the most suitable person to succeed Liu Tao. The family background of the Chen family is also the most suitable for me..."

The prince is talking here, but Tianxiang's thoughts are already drifting away: Old Chen Ge's daughter is the emperor's wife in the previous life...

The appearance of her elder brother in her previous life who still couldn't let go when she was dying seemed to reappear before her eyes. Tianxiang couldn't help but moved: "Brother, this sister-in-law is very good. I believe she can take on the responsibility of mothering the world."

He has a clear mind in this life, and he thinks that he will not repeat the difficulty of his previous life.

The prince said strangely: "Hey, why have you been appointed by the imperial court? You still need to hold a tea party in the palace to find out more!"

Tianxiang was full of ambition, and responded with a pat on her chest: "Don't worry, brother, I like to see beauties the most!"

The prince's eyes changed when he heard the words, and he looked up and down his sister vigilantly, hesitantly said: "Tianxiang, the emperor also chose a husband-in-law for you, I think he is also very good."

The smile on Tianxiang's face gradually disappeared: "Brother, do you also want me to marry Zhang Shaomin?"

The prince said sincerely: "Zhang Shaomin is also a top scholar, both civil and military, handsome and loyal. He is a rare lover. Besides, he is also infatuated with you, and he is still alone. Is there any reluctance for Tianxiang?"

Tianxiang shook her head: "He is kind in every way, but I only regard him as my elder brother. Brother, you are also very kind, but my younger sister cannot marry you."

The prince frowned slightly: "Nonsense, what's the matter!"

Tianxiang chuckled: "Brother, I already have a son-in-law—"

The prince was slightly startled, bowed his head in thought for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Tianxiang, you and Feng Suzhen... are you really..."

"...Mmm." Tianxiang bowed her head in response.

The prince was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long breath: "I see, I will not force you to marry Zhang Shaomin, you have the right to choose the life you want."

"Brother..." The crown prince's reaction was really unexpected, Tianxiang couldn't help but moved, "Thank you."

"I'm just reciprocating. I'm obsessed with wooden birds. For a long time, people have just called me stupid and told me that wooden birds can't fly. Only you have always given me hope," the prince said from the bottom of his heart, "You respect me Your obsession, invited a famous teacher for me, and let me see the wooden bird flying high with my own eyes—so, Tianxiang, I also respect your obsession."

Tianxiang's heart warmed up: "Thank you, brother."

"You don't have to thank me, but there is one thing, Tianxiang," the prince pondered, before opening his mouth. "Father is old, and he is very domineering. Accept your rebellion. But I think, like me, you are willing to give him the last dignity."

Tianxiang's heart was hot, and her eye sockets were also hot.

Since she was reborn, she has always treated her brother as a child, thinking of educating him so that he can wake up as soon as possible, wanting to satisfy all the shortcomings of his previous life, and make him complete in this life.Unexpectedly, he quietly matured, had his own thoughts, learned to be considerate of his relatives, and learned to deal with clumsy, so that the people around him could achieve perfection.

She was so emotional that she couldn't help stretching out her arms, hugged her brother, and solemnly agreed, "Okay."

After all, Feng Suzhen wasn't the only regret in her previous life.

"Brother, let's go visit Father, I wonder if he is awake?"

The voice fell for a long time, and the prince finally responded: "He...has been awake for a long time."

The emperor did wake up for a long time, since he woke up in the morning, he never slept again.His eyelids were swollen, his complexion was pale, his cheeks had some unhealthy blush, but his eyes were full of vigor and a frightening brilliance.

Feng Suzhen, who was sitting across from him, was stared at by him for a long time, and she couldn't help thinking to herself: If I, who is currently powerless, and this old domineering emperor had a dispute, would there be a [-]% to [-]% chance of winning?

He finally opened his mouth: "Feng Suzhen, why did you exhaust your energy to save me?"

Feng Suzhen replied naturally: "Your Majesty is in trouble, and women of the people should be saved."

The emperor laughed: "My son and daughter are all played around by you, only I want to kill you wholeheartedly. If I die, I'm afraid all of you will have a good time——Why did you save me? You Don’t you know what it means to weigh the pros and cons?”

"Pros and cons are pros and cons, and right and wrong are right and wrong," Feng Suzhen said calmly, "What's more, what the girl saved was not an emperor, but a father."

"Father?" The emperor smiled thoughtfully, "It's such a fresh word, I've never heard anyone call me father." His own children would call him "Father Emperor", even if he is a father, he is supreme. Monarch father.

"Father, Father, in front of your children, you are a father first, and then an emperor," Feng Suzhen said, "Even though I can make false claims about some trivial matters, you are Tianxiang's father and her close relative. There should be a little bit of balance."

"In this regard, you are indeed very similar." The emperor said indifferently, "It's just that if you become the emperor, you will know that this is farting. The emperor, no matter what time it is, is the emperor first."

Feng Suzhen said respectfully: "Minnie girls don't have this ability."

The emperor raised his eyes slowly: "If you are not a woman, you can help the country and be a good courtier. I originally intended to cultivate a good seed like you—it's a pity that this seedling has no roots!"

Feng Suzhen said: "The emperor has an extraordinary mind, he is a first-class smart person in the world. I am very grateful to be able to be taught and cultivated by His Majesty."

The emperor snorted: "Since you are grateful to me, but you are a criminal who deceived the emperor, then you should apologize and kill yourself."

Feng Suzhen didn't change her face: "People are mortal, and women of the people will also die. It's just that there is one thing before death. I hope Your Majesty will clear up the doubts for the women of the people."

The emperor raised his hand weakly: "Tell me."

"Why did Your Majesty think of asking me to be the princess?"

The emperor was a little surprised, he thought Feng Suzhen would ask him for some kindness.

He thought about it for a while and replied: "The prince has a weak temperament and limited wisdom, but he lacks someone who can wholeheartedly consider for him without being confused. No matter how loyal a courtier is, he is only a courtier. After all, he is no better than a husband and wife. You You are born in an official family, and you are somewhat smart, so you can manage the internal affairs. Besides, the Feng family has withered branches and no foundation, so there is no need to be afraid that you will have the ability to be a hen in the morning."

Feng Suzhen thanked her and said: "Your Majesty has given you such a high praise. I didn't expect Minnv to get such an evaluation in His Majesty's heart. Minnv is extremely terrified."

The emperor snorted angrily: "It's just that I didn't expect that you would not be able to climb the steps I handed you. Feng Suzhen, you are so ignorant of the general situation, but you have let down your intelligence."

Feng Suzhen clasped her fists in salute and said: "Your Majesty has learned from you—since you recognize Feng Suzhen's intelligence, even if a common girl does not marry the prince, she can still be loyal to the prince."

"You don't need to convince me, since he said he wants to protect you, I don't care what he does to you, and I don't care anymore!" The emperor waved his hand annoyedly, "You don't need to pretend to me— But, my Xiang'er, I must not let you fool me!"

Feng Suzhen was stunned.

The emperor leaned back on the chair angrily: "My relatives are shallow, and the only child I have loved in my eyes for many years is Xiang'er. But it happened to be her marriage, and I lost my eye and let her marry you. ……this……"

Feng Suzhen was thoughtful: "Your Majesty loves the princess so much because she is a daughter who won't fight for power."

The emperor said angrily: "Who said that? If Xiang'er is a man, I will give her the throne."

Feng Suzhen sneered: "Your Majesty, to sit in your position, you have to give up your true nature. Even if you give it to me, the princess will not take it."

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally said powerlessly: "You're right, that child Xiang'er, who is used to indulgence... can't look down on my chair. I have been in the army for half my life and have been in power for 30 years, but the child under my knee , no one is suitable to sit on this dragon chair... oh..."

Feng Suzhen said: "Your Majesty, this is your fault. What you have been obsessed with is not the most suitable heir, but an heir who is most like yourself."

The emperor was taken aback by what she said.

Feng Suzhen continued: "However, how can there be two identical people in the world? Even though the prince's political talent is not as good as His Majesty's, the prince still has his advantages and ideas. In the past year, the prince has been different. What's more, Zhang Shaomin is here , with the cabinet here, even if the crown prince cannot become the master of ZTE in the future, he can still become the Shoucheng Renjun, Your Majesty can rest assured."

The emperor closed his eyes. He was very weak. If he hadn't been hanging on by a wave of energy, he would have passed out: "Forget it, I'm old, I don't understand you, and it's not the time. I should abdicate ..."

There was a sound of messy footsteps outside the door, and then Tianxiang pushed the door and entered, and the prince followed.

The two called out in unison: "Father..."

The emperor tried his best to stand up from the seat: "How do you see the roster?"

Tianxiang glanced at Feng Suzhen flickeringly, saw that she had no abnormalities in her beard and shadow, and even gave herself a look, and then absent-mindedly replied: "After reading, there are a few good ones, I will pay attention to them for my brother." of."

The emperor couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at her, and said angrily: "Xiang'er, you should stay in the Zhen Palace these days. You can take care of your brother's marriage."

Tianxiang came to her senses, stepped forward to hold the emperor's arm, and said with a sneer, "I know, I know."

The emperor pointed back at the prince: "As for her, I don't care what Feng Suzhen will do with her. But I don't want to see her, and I don't want Tianxiang to see her, let her go out of the palace!"

"Father—" Tianxiang just said a word, but was interrupted by the prince: "Okay, my son will send someone to send her out of the palace."

Tian Xiang wanted to say something more, but seeing the crown prince secretly winking at herself, she had no choice but to keep silent, but still looked at Feng Suzhen reluctantly.

Feng Suzhen smiled at her.

Her restless heart suddenly settled down.

The two brothers and sisters supported the emperor out of the East Palace. Tianxiang sat on the imperial chariot with the emperor. The emperor suddenly leaned over and approached the crown prince, and said in a low voice, "Dongfang Sheng, you can't stay."

After a pause, the prince agreed, "My son knows."

He agreed too simply, and the emperor couldn't help asking curiously, "Then what name do you plan to use to deal with him?"

The prince said sharply: "My son plans to transfer him to guard Liaodong."

"What?" The emperor was stunned, he frowned, full of disapproval, "He is a dandy, he just came back from Liaodong last year, how can he listen to your words to guard that bitter cold place? Besides, he was born If you are rebellious, if you support your own self-respect, collude with the Tartars, and lead troops south, how can the capital resist? He has no father, mother, and body, so how can you deal with him? It is better to leave this matter to Gu Chengen."

The crown prince smiled and said: "Father, don't worry, my son is confident that he can hold him."

The emperor was about to reprimand a few words, but suddenly his heart moved, he gave up the idea of ​​preaching, and said softly: "Forget it, you have your own ideas, then go ahead and do it."

Farewell to the emperor, the prince turned back to Feng Suzhen.He pushed back the attendants, moved a chair and sat in front of Feng Suzhen's bed.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the prince suddenly said, "Feng Suzhen—"

"The girl is here." Feng Suzhen replied.

The prince sighed: "Before I was alone, my brain was not very good."

Feng Suzhen remained silent.

"Actually, right now, you and Zhang Shaomin are no better than you." The prince continued with a sigh.

Feng Suzhen hurriedly said: "The crown prince's words have ruined the daughters of the people."

The prince waved his hand: "I'm just talking casually, don't take it seriously."

Feng Suzhen had no choice but to make a serious expression as much as possible.

"Gu has been thinking since last night, I wish you were a real man," the prince continued, "Gu can let you be Gu's brother-in-law openly and aboveboard."

Feng Suzhen smiled wryly.

The prince was full of sadness: "But you are not a man, but my sister insists on you not to marry, you say, what should I do?"

"..." Feng Suzhen looked at her nose, mouth, and heart.

"Alas..." the prince continued to sigh.

He pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "I talked with the father all morning. After a few days, the father will announce his abdication."

Feng Suzhen nodded: "Congratulations, Your Highness, this can avoid the suspicion of candlelight and ax shadows, which is the best."

The prince continued: "After the emperor abdicates, he will move to Nanzhili and go to the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate. He will bring Tianxiang with him."

Feng Suzhen's face became turbulent: "This—"

"It will take a year or a half at least, or three or five years at most," the crown prince shook his head and said, "Xiang'er is far more important in his heart than me, a son who has been feared since he was a child. Therefore, he will not It's easy to do what you want." After that, the prince laughed at himself: "It's not just him, even I, who has received many favors from you, feel uncomfortable now."

Feng Suzhen said in a low voice: "Many of the ordinary two surnames are born and heirs are born in order to hope that the population will prosper, which is related to the honor and disgrace of the clan. When agreeing to a marriage, there are many considerations such as family status, wealth, appearance, pros and cons. , The goodness of witch clothes, such a strange situation, but it is only related to those two idiots, it is normal that it is not tolerated in the world."

The prince was dumb for a while, then sighed: "Yes, this is actually your own business, you two idiots... But in the world, how can you be completely happy."

Feng Suzhen said: "Liu Ji had a saying in the previous dynasty: 'How can I be as good as I want, but I want to be worthy of my heart.'"

The prince smiled broadly and said: "You can convince me, but you can't convince him. You should be able to see the meaning of the emperor. Now Tianxiang and I are devoted to protecting you. He can't touch you. So he just wants to separate you. Let time dilute your friendship."

Feng Suzhen suddenly smiled.

Her smile was the same as always, with a calm and calm smile.The beautiful eyebrows were only slightly raised, and the corners of her lips were raised with restraint, but there seemed to be twinkling stars in her eyes, which made people see the determination and joy in her heart.

She replied softly: "Okay, then let time be a witness."

The two talked for another half an hour, when Director Wang suddenly came in from outside the door and whispered something in the Prince's ear.

The crown prince sighed to Feng Suzhen: "You evil spirit, someone came to intercede for you..."

Feng Suzhen went in without knowing.

The prince smiled but didn't answer: "I'm going to see someone alone, so I won't accompany you to talk. Manager Wang, send her back to the mansion."

Director Wang asked suspiciously, "Which mansion will you send her back to?"

The prince said helplessly: "Where else can I go? She belongs to my younger sister, so naturally she should go back to the princess mansion."

Day and night change, time flies like an arrow, and before you know it, it is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Above Chang Chao, the emperor, who had not appeared in front of the public since the Winter Solstice Festival, sat on the dragon chair again.

Civil and military officials kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, and the mountain shouted long live, and the sound shook the sky, which was extremely sweet.

The emperor eagerly listened to the echoing voices in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone—" He settled down and waved to the hall: "Come——"

The prince stepped up to the high platform of the throne and stood beside the emperor.

Manager Wang shook the imperial decree in his hand, and solemnly read out——

"I only believe that the emperor was born with the destiny, and if he enjoys his life for a long time, he must be careful and sincere."

"I followed the Taizu to conquer the four directions, to prevent disasters and chaos, and to stop the army, and to restore the etiquette to the court; since the imperial court, I have been worrying about work at night and working hard, trying to achieve the ultimate governance, for fear of being entrusted by Gu Xiandi. Although it is not self-proclaimed to change customs, it is peaceful to rule the world and prosper Wenxuan, Wuguang and women, store wealth in the people's homes and give them enough, even if their virtues are not in harmony with the world, they can also be called "Yeah."

"However, as the years grow older and the strength of the muscles declines, it is too much to seek longevity, so the treacherous people take the opportunity to deceive, pray for the day, the construction is prosperous every year, the sacrifices of the suburban temples are not close, and the wise officials do not listen to the advice, which is against the law. Xian, also loses the original intention.”

"You have been informed by heaven that according to the infant's ashes disease, and relying on the blessing of God to be cured, you know that you can't fall in love."

"The crown prince is benevolent, filial and wise, and has long-standing virtues. It is advisable to follow the ancestors' precepts, follow the public opinion, and confer the throne. Next year Zhengdan will ascend the throne and change the Yuan."

"In opera, the monarch and the people are one. Loving people must be magnanimous. Rewards and punishments must be done. The country must be manifested in Mingxin. The new monarch will be established. It is a matter of dedication and dedication to respect and diligence. It is the ultimate rule."

"An edict to China and foreign countries, and the salty envoys will hear about it."

The edict of the Zen position had been leaked when it was drafted, and the busy Rites began preparations for the enthronement ceremony early.Therefore, there were not many surprises among the officials, so they knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, praising the wisdom and wisdom of the emperor.

On the contrary, the next two decrees really have some earth-shattering implications.

"The patriarch Dongfang Shengyu shines his sword in front of the imperial court and offends Tianyan. Thinking of his outstanding achievements, he took away his Marquis, changed his title to General Xuanwei, and was officially named General Soldier of Liaodong. The first Dongfang Marquis, the first son of the emperor, and my own brother, I can't bear his title. Without successor, the little prince will enter the heir's mansion, and inherit the emperor's younger brother Dongfanghou."

"Feng Suzhen in Miaozhou disguised herself as a man and became an official. However, her good words and deeds are of great benefit to the country. Although she has the name of deceiving the emperor, she is not in the wrong. I pity her talents, forgive her crimes, and protect her Fame, break the rules and promote him, remove him from the official department, take charge of Zhan Shi in the East Palace, and add the crown prince Shaobao."

"Kin this-"

All the officials cast their eyes on the two figures in front of the hall, and two completely different voices sounded at the same time:

"Criminal Minister Dongfang Sheng—" "Criminal Minister Feng Suzhen—"

"Thank you Lord Ron."

There was the sound of the robes being lightly rubbed, and the two "offenders" stood up under the inquiring gazes of the civil and military officials, and glanced at each other out of the corners of their eyes.

The cold night is quiet, the full moon climbs to the heart of the sky, and the clear light sprinkles the sky and the earth, making it bright and bright.

In the study room of the Princess Mansion, Feng Suzhen closed the account books in her hands, wrote down a number on the paper with an ink pen, and breathed a sigh of relief.After the emperor has taxed and collected money for a year, after the prince ascends the throne, it will not be too ugly on the books.

"Coo coo, coo coo -" a strange sound came out of nowhere.

A pigeon with a black spot on its forehead stood reservedly by the window, shrinking its neck towards Feng Suzhen.

The corners of Feng Suzhen's lips curled up, and she fished the pigeon over, and pulled out a note from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet: Mr. Zhan Shitai Jian: Meizhu is back?Business can be done?Miss me today?

Shan Shiwen was so dedicated to his duty that Laba night took Feng Shaoqing all the way south, but he disappeared in hiding.Feng Suzhen's internal injury hadn't healed, and she had no time to spare, so she had to entrust Meizhu to take someone to find her.It's been five or six days since I left.

Fortunately, finding something for the girl to do would also ease her sadness when she knew that the prince was about to get married.

Feng Suzhenxin tore a piece of paper, just wrote two words, Tao'er went inside and said: "My son-in-law—ah no, Mr. Feng, Xuanwei General Dongfang Sheng is here to visit!"

A tall figure stepped forward under the moonlight.He was dressed in a military uniform, with his back straight, as if he had the cowardly power of being on the battlefield.

Feng Suzhen took a step back and bowed to salute: "I have seen General Dongfang—"

She straightened up, and saw Dongfang Sheng staring at her official uniform, looking up and down, then raised her eyes, and her eyes fell on her face.

The two stood silently facing each other for a long time, Dongfang Sheng first said: "Feng Suzhen, do I count as 'insight into the world and have a bright heart'?"

Feng Suzhen lowered her eyes and said, "The general is an upright and heroic man."

Dongfang Sheng paused, then asked again: "Then, do you like me?"

Feng Suzhen hesitated for a moment, then said in a shy voice: "General, you will definitely meet a woman who is suitable for you in the future."

After a silence, Dongfang Sheng raised his head and laughed twice: "I am surprised that you answered like this—so, have you already met that person?"

Feng Suzhen nodded slowly: "Yes..."

Dongfang Sheng asked, "Is he better than me?"

Feng Suzhen thought for a while: "It's hard to compare, I'm afraid she is not as good as the general in many things, but I like it."

Dongfang Sheng suddenly changed color, but soon regained his composure.He looked at her expression silently, and suddenly said: "Feng Suzhen, let me write you a divorce letter."

Feng Suzhen was taken aback.

Dongfang Sheng tilted his head: "You are my Dongfang Sheng's wife, if I don't write a divorce letter, who would dare to marry you?"

Feng Suzhen pursed her lips slightly, and finally said helplessly, "Okay."

The two entered the study room, Dongfang Sheng grabbed the pen, and began to take the exam in a calm manner.

Feng Suzhen knew that Dongfang Sheng didn't like reading, otherwise she wouldn't have asked a gunman to take the imperial examination for him, so she was quite curious about what kind of divorce letter he would write at this moment.

But he just held the pen and hung it in the air for a long time, but he still couldn't write a single word.

All of a sudden, his shoulders relaxed, and they were no longer as straight as before.

Feng Suzhen took a step back and lowered her head.

Dongfang Sheng quickly wrote something on the paper, almost instantly, he put down the pen, turned his head and said: "Feng Suzhen, when you remarry, tell me, I will prepare a dowry for you."

Feng Suzhen bowed her head and said, "When the general marries again, I will also prepare a congratulatory ceremony for the general."

Dongfang Sheng chuckled softly: "I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

Feng Suzhen asked: "How did the general get here? Do you need me to send someone to take the general back to the mansion?"

Dongfang Sheng said: "No, I'm going to Liaodong."

Feng Suzhen was surprised: "You have only come back from Chahar for a few days, and you left so soon?"

Dongfang Sheng stared at her: "It is because I came back from Chahar that I went to Liaodong."

Feng Suzhen didn't know how to answer the words: "Then, I look forward to the general's return soon."

Dongfang Sheng looked down at Feng Suzhen's upturned and beautiful face, and his throat choked: "I'm not coming back."

Feng Suzhen was astonished.

Dongfang Sheng suppressed his voice and said: "I have an agreement with the prince: if I conquer Liaodong, I will be the king of Liaodong. If I die in Liaodong, I will be a lonely soul of Liaodong. If you go to Liaodong, you will never die or return."

He endured it, and after all, he did not say why he agreed to such a contract with the prince, but only smiled and said: "Feng Suzhen, this is the last time we will meet in this life." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled Feng Suzhen's wrist, The latter was pulled into his arms without any resistance.

Feng Suzhen was about to struggle, but Dongfang Sheng just took off her official hat, inserted a green jade hairpin into her hair, and then let go: "Don't worry, this hairpin is not stained with blood. I'm checking Er saved a woman, and she gave it to me. When I saw this hairpin, I thought of you for some reason."

Seeing Feng Suzhen's dull expression, he laughed at himself: "I still can't bear it, I can't bear to divorce you. Why don't you divorce me."

He turned and walked out, and quickly disappeared into the night, as if he had never been here.

Feng Suzhen blankly caressed the hairpin on her head, and looked back at the divorce letter on the table.

It was just a blank piece of paper, with no content written on it, but "Dongfang Sheng" was written on the signature place with a pen and ink dripping on it.

Feng Suzhen was silent, she pulled out the hairpin, and saw clearly that the engravings on the hairpin were not common birds and flowers, but the image of a horse with flowing mane and hair.

She played with the warm jade and murmured: "Yes, you are indeed called, 'insight into the world, and have a bright heart'."

After a moment of despondency, she picked up the pen again, found the note with only two characters written on it before, and continued to write: "His Royal Highness Junjian: The plum and bamboo have not returned. The color is very good, it's a pity that Qingqing is not here."

The author has something to say:

Regarding children, it is a matter of "choice", but regarding parents, there is no choice.

Feng Shaoqing and the old emperor are two kinds of fathers.

For someone like Feng Shaoqing
