Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]
Chapter 98 The Subjugated Empress Dowager
I haven't been to Beijing for many years, and Beijing and China have already changed a lot, with a new generation replacing the old.
The ship moves slowly on the water. For those who deal with the sea all the year round, the water scenery is not fun at all, but they will never tire of seeing it.
Ba Xiong and Yunyao were fishing on the deck, while Yanfeng hid in the cabin and slept late. The 20-year-old Yanfeng has grown into an elegant and elegant man. Except for the dimples on his lips and cheeks, he looks exactly the same as Yunyao now. Every time Wang Sheng sighed, every time Yanfeng looked at Wang Sheng helplessly, he stared at the painting on the wall of the study seriously, except for the dimples on his lips and cheeks, he really didn't look like him at all .
In late autumn, the flowers and leaves have already withered, and the green hills on both sides of the strait add a solemn and desolate look, and suddenly a bright red scene comes into view.
"If I remember correctly, this should be Xiangshan." Yun Yao raised her head in surprise, her eyes fell on the slowly receding red maple forest. In the bleak autumn, only maple leaves are the unique scenery.
Ba Xiong looked back and nodded: "Yes, it's Xiangshan, and it's almost to the capital."
"Actually, I still think it's good to be free and easy in Haicheng. Returning to the capital is a lot of trouble. Your Majesty has ten princes. Now the first prince and the second prince got married last year, and the third and fourth princes are also getting married one after another. , the fifth prince is the first prince, and he is already 15 years old. The age of the sixth prince and the seventh prince is not much different from that of the fifth prince. The eighth prince, the ninth prince, and the tenth prince can be ignored for the time being. Just the first seven princes, tsk tsk, this court is full of disputes Constantly."
"Anyway, the fire can't burn us." Ba Xiong said indifferently, seeing the fish float moving, he raised his pole immediately, and a big fish landed on the deck, "Haha, this fish is fresh, it's just right for grilling for Feng. Son."
Yun Yao rolled his eyes at him: "It's easy for you to say, there is no girl in the family of the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother, and the age is not much different from that of the fifth prince."
Ba Xiong held Fat Fish with both hands, and frowned slightly when he heard this: "It's really annoying. Fortunately, there are younger siblings, otherwise the idiot of the second child will be set by someone."
Gundam and Qiu Yun didn't stay in Haicheng all the time, they returned to Beijing five years ago.The husband and wife have two daughters and two sons under their knees, the two daughters in front of the head, the two sons are still young, but the eldest daughter is married, so I don't worry about this, but I worry about the second daughter, Gao Jing will not be married until the spring of next year, the family has a daughter Baijiaqiu, this is a happy event, but in this sensitive period, it is really not a good thing.
Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping also have daughters under their knees, and they are all about the same age as the fifth prince, sixth prince, and seventh prince, and they are just the right age for marriage.
"How many princesses does Your Majesty have? Fortunately, Feng'er is already engaged, and we will get married after the spring of next year." Yan Feng passed the age of 16 and got engaged when he was [-] years old, but the girl is eight years younger than him, and this year she has just reached the end of the year. , the wedding date is set for the beginning of next spring.
Yun Yao thought about it for a moment: "There are ten princes, and there are seven or eight princesses. I don't have a detailed calculation. The eldest princess has fallen, and the second and third princesses are just in time. Your Majesty should be choosing a son-in-law. The fourth princess, the fifth princess, and the sixth princess seem to be the same. They are 14 years old, 13 years old and 12 years old respectively, and there is still a year or two before they recruit a consort, and the Seventh Princess is younger, so there is no need to worry about that."
Yan Feng stretched his waist and came out of the cabin, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the sun in the sky. He had just heard his parents' conversation, and he knew a little bit about the situation in Beijing, but he This status is special, so there is no need to worry about getting involved in the battle for the heir apparent, that is, the power in the hands of his father and three uncles is eye-catching.
"Mom, can't Zhen'er come to Beijing to prepare for marriage?" After only leaving Haicheng for a few days, he already misses his fiancée Ruan Zhen'er.
Yun Yao rolled his eyes at him: "Why didn't you explain your mother-in-law and father-in-law before?"
Ruan Zhen'er is the daughter of a third-rank general in the navy in Haicheng. This girl grew up in the army. She can do what men can do, and she can do what men can't. Who said that this girl is born with infinite strength, of course It's not absolute strength, it's just that it's very strong, and it's easy to walk while holding two or three hundred catties of stones.
For Yan Feng's distorted aesthetics since he was a child, Ruan Zhen'er is his Nine Heavens Fairy. When he was 16 years old, the first time he saw a little girl split a big rock with one palm, he was shocked. Thinking that there are still people in this world who are comparable to his father, who are still women, and if they don't marry back, how can they be worthy of a heaven-sent marriage?
Yan Feng was immediately discouraged, and sat lazily beside Ba Xiong, resting his head on his thick arms, comparing himself, he also wanted a majestic figure like his father's.
"I mentioned it, but Uncle Ruan refused."
Yun Yao looked Yan Feng up and down, and said earnestly: "After you return to Beijing, you need to grow your brains. Being plotted by someone makes you really sad. Mom can't help you."
Yanfeng raised his eyebrows: "As long as the emperor doesn't mess with mandarin ducks, then I'm sure I'll be fine." He knew that the emperor had always wanted to marry his daughter to him, so don't think that he hadn't read his mother's letter. They blow like a goddess descending to earth, they are all ugly, how could they be really good-looking!
While the mother and son were talking, Ba Xiong had already dissected the fish and washed it clean with clean water. The grill was set up, the fire was dancing hotly, and seasonings were sprinkled on it.
The other soldiers in the cabin drooled silently. The general was so kind to his wife and son, and always cooked the food himself.
"Okay, you don't need to worry about these things. I will talk to His Majesty when the time comes. The older I get, the more suspicious I am. Is it really possible to live forever by occupying that dragon chair?"
Yan Feng chuckled, all he knew was that the emperor never took advantage of his father since he was a child, and his father was still so big and powerful, so the emperor must not be as energetic as his father.
Yun Yao shrugged, she hadn't seen the emperor for more than ten years, she didn't know what he had become, the person in the letter was always different from the real person.
The ship arrived at the pier of the capital at Shenshi, and the servants who had stayed behind in the Qi mansion were on the pier. When they saw the figures of Yunyao and Ba Xiong, they immediately greeted them.
There were a lot of things on board, Gao Qi and Fang Zhao stayed behind to watch over the transportation, and Yun Yao and the others went home first.
The capital city has become more prosperous than before. Pedestrians walking on the road are steady and full of energy, and small traders have bright smiles on their faces... It can be seen that the people are getting better and better these days.
Before leaving the capital, Yanfeng lived in the side room next to Yunyao's room in the main courtyard. This time he is a grown man, and he can no longer live in the same yard with his parents.
However, since he is the Duke of Qi, the main courtyard was given over to Yanfeng, who had grown up, and Yunyao and Ba Xiong lived in Yunshuiyao. Yes, what is the implication, Ba Xiong himself can't explain clearly, Yunyao secretly pondered, did Chaos Orb and its friend tell Lixie her real name?
After resting for one night, the three of them went to the palace together to face the saint at about six o'clock the next day.Yan Feng has grown up and can no longer avoid anything, so he will be involved in all matters of the Qi family in the future.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, facing the left side of the palace gate, the stone tablet was still standing, under the sunshine of late autumn, the wind and rain did not move.
People who entered and exited the palace were no longer interested in this stele, and students from other places were curious about the imperial examination held every three years, and would stop and browse it.
Standing in front of the stele, Yan Feng couldn't help recalling in his mind what happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was three years old and the third day of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. On that day, he participated in the whole process, which will still be engraved in his heart.
"Mom, is it true?" Yan Feng blinked to get rid of the emotions in his eyes, and hurriedly followed Yun Yao and Ba Xiong.
The guards at the gate of the palace moved their ears when they heard the words. Facing this stele every day, they always felt that it was not true. The matter of the gods was too mysterious, and they also wanted to know if it was true.
Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "Whoever tries will know!"
Yan Feng pursed his lips. Could it be that he would not be able to witness its authenticity in his lifetime?
Something flickered in Ba Xiong's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He didn't say anything. As for the authenticity, does the royal family dare to try it?
Outside the Yugan Palace, the imperial guards stood upright. These guards have changed many batches. They don't know Ba Xiong, but the commander of the imperial guards does.
When the commander saw Ba Xiong, his eyes lit up, he stepped forward, and slapped Ba Xiong, which was a different kind of greeting.
"Wu Chenghou, if you don't come back, I'm afraid you will only see the old man's bones in the future!" The commander is older than Ba Xiong, and he is almost 60 years old now, a lot older.
Ba Xiong laughed loudly: "Master Commander, you are humble. With your physique, it is not a problem to live beyond 99 years."
The commander of the imperial army didn't exchange greetings with Ba Xiongjiu, and agreed to drink three more cups in private, then saluted Yunyao and Yanfeng, but Yunyao and Yanfeng didn't dare to accept his gift and returned it back.
In the imperial study room, Pei Yi frequently looked outside the door, he had already heard the sound, but the bear was still greeting people, obviously he just didn't want to see him sooner, how unreasonable it is!
Li Liang was already very old, and basically assigned all the work under his command to his apprentices. Even if he was on duty with the emperor, he couldn't stand up anymore. He came here on duty today because he wanted to see his past master.
The three figures came in and gradually approached. Li Liang glanced at Yunyao and Yanfeng very carefully, then quickly lowered his head, and when the three approached, he said respectfully and politely: "Please young master, Yan Feng Ma'am, Marquis Wu Cheng will come in, His Majesty has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Yan Feng blinked, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."
Yun Yao and Ba Xiong nodded and smiled at Li Liang, and then the three of them entered the door. The emperor sat upright behind the dragon chair, seeing Yun Yao and Ba Xiong, Pei Zhen touched his face, which made him feel deeply He has tried his best to maintain it, but why is he still not as good as that bear?He wanted to always be handsome in Yun Yao's heart.
When Pei Zhen was in a daze, the three of Yun Yao had already finished their salutes.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and only communicated with each other through letters. The impression left by the two sides is still the same as it was many years ago. When they suddenly saw the real person, they found that they were very different from the people they were many years ago.
"Pingshen." Pei Zhen called out flatly, his eyes fell on Ba Xiong, Ba Xiong grinned at him, and his beard trembled, which suddenly reminded Pei Zhen of the horrible scenes in those years.
Yunyao had discovered many years ago that Ba Xiong was actually more attractive than her attraction to Pei Chun. In other words, Pei Chun actually cared more about Ba Xiong. For men, friends and confidants last longer.
"En." Yun Yao coughed: "Your Majesty, how long do you want to be in love with my husband? Why don't my son and I step back and make room for you?"
Ba Xiong and Pei Yi looked at Yun Yao almost at the same time, and said in unison: "Who is in love with him?"
The unfamiliar air instantly became hot, and Pei Zhen waved his hands uncomfortably: "Forget it, you all sit down." He glanced at Yan Feng, and then called Li Liang loudly.
"Li Liang, take him out, he is not needed here."
Yan Feng was taken aback, what do you mean without him?He refuted a few words silently in his heart, but he still followed Li Liang out.
"Yan Ran, you are still so young and beautiful." Pei Zhen said sourly, and he touched his cheek again, just as the wind and cold had entered his body these few days, his whole body was getting older and haggard.
Ba Xiong snorted, and said with a sarcasm: "Your Majesty, don't be sour. Your family has a lot to worry about, so it's natural to grow old quickly! I don't have anything to worry about if I want to."
Yunyao complained secretly in her heart, co-authoring really has nothing to do with her, why should she come here if she knew earlier?
Pei Yi secretly lucked out, this bear is still so annoying, always destroying his image in Yanran's mind, if he is not old, he has to teach him a lesson!
This time, Li Liang took four or five little eunuchs to accompany Yanfeng to visit the Imperial Garden. Yanfeng didn't have much memory of the Imperial Garden. Li Liang didn't dare to say too much at first, but when he walked to a familiar place, he still couldn't help introducing it. .
"The peonies in this flower bed have actually existed before. They have always existed. In the past... I always liked to hold my little father-in-law to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden."
Yanfeng remained silent, the incident was over, but many people still remembered it.
"I don't remember, but I think the peony flowers here must be very beautiful in spring." Even if the royal family was embarrassed at that time, the palace was the facade, and the ministers had to decorate the facade, so the flowers in the imperial garden were rare. Rare species.
Li Liang's voice was high-pitched, and his laughing voice was even harsher, "Yes, it's very beautiful. Every year, a hundred flowers bloom in the imperial garden, and a hundred schools of thought contend, but none of them can compare to the elegance and luxury of the peony. The old slave is getting old, and I'm afraid I'm going to see her. Now that the first master and the first empress dowager are gone, the old slave will tell the first master and the first empress dowager that the young master is doing well, so they can rest assured."
In the end, Li Liang spoke softly, but Yan Feng heard it, and replied with melancholy for a long time: "Eunuch Li, thank you very much."
"Hey, who is that?" A group of people came up the path from the imperial garden to the harem, led by two beautifully dressed girls, followed by a group of palace people.
Seeing the fourth and fifth princesses, Li Liang took a step back and introduced the identities of the two princesses to Yanfeng.
"Yanfeng has seen the fourth and fifth princesses before." Yanfeng bowed his hands, and Li Liang introduced Yanfeng to the fourth and fifth princesses.
The two princesses returned a salute, their faces were a little uncomfortable, "I have seen Qi Guogong."
The mother concubine of the fourth and fifth princesses is Concubine Wu Hui, and the mother concubine of the fifth princess is Concubine Zhang Shu. The two often hear the same nagging words from their mother concubine.
"Your father is fascinated by that vixen outside the palace, and I can't compete with her anyway." After a long time, the two princesses who grew up a little bit threatened and lured the palace people around them, and only then did they know such a past. .
I heard that the young man looks very similar to his mother, and now they see that the young man looks so handsome, which shows how beautiful Mrs. Yan is.
Li Liang didn't intend to get Yan Feng involved with the two princesses, so he saluted and took Yan Feng away.
"When will the young master get married?" Although it is autumn, there is always greenness in the imperial garden. Li Liang is serving the emperor. He knows that Yanfeng is engaged, but he doesn't know when.
Yan Feng smiled and said, "March next year."
Gradually walked, walked around, and finally walked back to Yugan Palace.
On the other side of the imperial garden, the fourth and fifth princesses were not interested in enjoying the scenery anymore, and they returned to the palace of the mother and concubine with their own thoughts.
Concubine Wu Hui happened to be playing with birds on the porch, and when she saw her daughter coming back, she asked without raising her eyes, "You're back so soon?" Love a daughter, but without a son, it is not beautiful after all.
The fourth princess said absent-mindedly: "Mother, I just saw Duke Qi in the imperial garden."
Concubine Wu Hui was stunned, Duke Qi?After a while, she realized, with a fierce look in her eyes: "That woman is back?" If it wasn't for that woman, how could she have come to such a point in her life?Want to be loved but not favored, want status but not status, sandwiched between the queen and concubines with princes, always bow down.
"It should be, Duke Qi is accompanied by Li Liang himself, and Mrs. Yan should meet the emperor in the Royal Study Room." The fourth princess said lazily, but she complained in her heart, if you have the ability, go to the Royal Study Room to confront that woman!
Linzhi Palace, Concubine Zhang Shu was stunned and speechless when she heard the words of the fifth princess. His Majesty has given the concubines in the harem all these years, but he still couldn't give them what they wanted. His Majesty's heart is only How embarrassing are they for that woman!
"Mother and Concubine, Qi Guogong looks so good-looking. I heard that he looks very similar to Mrs. Yan. If Mrs. Yan really looks like him, she is so beautiful. No wonder the father never forgets it." The fifth princess held her chin and sighed, "Mr. Concubine, he is really good-looking."
Concubine Zhang Shu came back to her senses, looked at the fifth princess, and ordered word by word: "Wu'er, you can't have any other thoughts, the Duke of Qi is already engaged, don't put your mind on him, there are so many good men in this world." Yes, the mother concubine will choose a good one for you, so that he will always be the same to you." She failed emotionally, but her daughter is a princess and cannot tolerate betrayal by a man, so she must make her daughter a happy life.
"Ah, are you engaged?" The fifth princess was extremely disappointed. Hearing Concubine Zhang Shu's words, she pursed her lips: "Got it, concubine mother."
Pei Jin didn't keep Yunyao and Ba Xiong, but he made an arbitrary decision to hold a banquet in the Qi Mansion in the evening, and asked Yunyao and Ba Xiong to entertain him. Yunyao could still agree to this small request.
After coming out of the palace, before noon, Gao Da, Wu Yushu and Mumbai Ping's family arrived. All three of them brought their wives and children, a dozen of them, especially the large number of children.
Yunyao has seen Gao Da's children, Wu Yushu's and Mumbaiping's children, the son has seen them, but the daughter has not.Except for the married girl, the Gao family has three children, Wu Yushu has two sons and a daughter, and Mumbaiping has two sons and two daughters.Last year, Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping sent their sons out on a study tour, and the destination was Haicheng. Yunyao and Ba Xiong, as aunts and uncles, naturally wanted to entertain their nephews.
Don't look at Ba Xiong's vicious appearance, but it is very attractive to children. No matter how Yunyao and the others stepped into the house, several boys surrounded him, this one hugged Ba Xiong's left arm, the other hugged Ba Xiong On his right arm, someone was still pulling on Ba Xiong's sleeve. Seeing this, the two boys from Gao Da's family rushed forward to grab the uncle's attention.
Yan Feng's face was dark, Yan Feng had long hands and long feet, and he pulled the boys out in twos and twos. He hugged Ba Xiong's arm, and said proudly and proudly: "What are you grabbing, this is my father!"
Yunyao had black lines on his face, and Ba Xiong was very happy: "I like them all, I like them all! My son is a handsome man, and my nephew is also a handsome boy. Uncle likes them all!"
The children of the Gundam family basically inherited Qiu Yun's appearance, so they are not as tall and thick as Gundam, but rather handsome and good-looking.Needless to say, Wu Yushu and Mumbai Ping, they themselves look good, and their children's looks are naturally not bad.
When several families were enjoying themselves, someone knocked on the door. The old man guarding the door was still He Bo. He opened the door and saw a young woman of fourteen or fifteen years old with a veil on her face, followed by two servant girls who looked like her. woman.
"Please tell the old man that Yan Qingling is begging to see Mrs. Yan and Duke Qi." Uncle He went in without knowing it, and the woman lowered her eyes and said, "My father's surname is also Yan, and the Duke is my cousin."
He Bo said in a daze: "Girl wait a moment, I will report."
The door was gently closed, Yan Qingling lowered her eyes, her thoughts drifted, her right hand unconsciously stroked her cheek, the burning pain was unforgettable, and she dared not forget it even after she came back.Obviously he promised to love her for the rest of his life, but he betrayed her, and finally let her die in the fire. In this life, she wanted him to taste this kind of heart-wrenching pain.
The author has something to say: Good morning (^o^)/~
The ship moves slowly on the water. For those who deal with the sea all the year round, the water scenery is not fun at all, but they will never tire of seeing it.
Ba Xiong and Yunyao were fishing on the deck, while Yanfeng hid in the cabin and slept late. The 20-year-old Yanfeng has grown into an elegant and elegant man. Except for the dimples on his lips and cheeks, he looks exactly the same as Yunyao now.

Li Liang was already very old, and basically assigned all the work under his command to his apprentices. Even if he was on duty with the emperor, he couldn't stand up anymore. He came here on duty today because he wanted to see his past master.
The three figures came in and gradually approached. Li Liang glanced at Yunyao and Yanfeng very carefully, then quickly lowered his head, and when the three approached, he said respectfully and politely: "Please young master, Yan Feng Ma'am, Marquis Wu Cheng will come in, His Majesty has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Yan Feng blinked, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."
Yun Yao and Ba Xiong nodded and smiled at Li Liang, and then the three of them entered the door. The emperor sat upright behind the dragon chair, seeing Yun Yao and Ba Xiong, Pei Zhen touched his face, which made him feel deeply He has tried his best to maintain it, but why is he still not as good as that bear?He wanted to always be handsome in Yun Yao's heart.
When Pei Zhen was in a daze, the three of Yun Yao had already finished their salutes.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and only communicated with each other through letters. The impression left by the two sides is still the same as it was many years ago. When they suddenly saw the real person, they found that they were very different from the people they were many years ago.
"Pingshen." Pei Zhen called out flatly, his eyes fell on Ba Xiong, Ba Xiong grinned at him, and his beard trembled, which suddenly reminded Pei Zhen of the horrible scenes in those years.
Yunyao had discovered many years ago that Ba Xiong was actually more attractive than her attraction to Pei Chun. In other words, Pei Chun actually cared more about Ba Xiong. For men, friends and confidants last longer.
"En." Yun Yao coughed: "Your Majesty, how long do you want to be in love with my husband? Why don't my son and I step back and make room for you?"
Ba Xiong and Pei Yi looked at Yun Yao almost at the same time, and said in unison: "Who is in love with him?"
The unfamiliar air instantly became hot, and Pei Zhen waved his hands uncomfortably: "Forget it, you all sit down." He glanced at Yan Feng, and then called Li Liang loudly.
"Li Liang, take him out, he is not needed here."
Yan Feng was taken aback, what do you mean without him?He refuted a few words silently in his heart, but he still followed Li Liang out.
"Yan Ran, you are still so young and beautiful." Pei Zhen said sourly, and he touched his cheek again, just as the wind and cold had entered his body these few days, his whole body was getting older and haggard.
Ba Xiong snorted, and said with a sarcasm: "Your Majesty, don't be sour. Your family has a lot to worry about, so it's natural to grow old quickly! I don't have anything to worry about if I want to."
Yunyao complained secretly in her heart, co-authoring really has nothing to do with her, why should she come here if she knew earlier?
Pei Yi secretly lucked out, this bear is still so annoying, always destroying his image in Yanran's mind, if he is not old, he has to teach him a lesson!
This time, Li Liang took four or five little eunuchs to accompany Yanfeng to visit the Imperial Garden. Yanfeng didn't have much memory of the Imperial Garden. Li Liang didn't dare to say too much at first, but when he walked to a familiar place, he still couldn't help introducing it. .
"The peonies in this flower bed have actually existed before. They have always existed. In the past... I always liked to hold my little father-in-law to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden."
Yanfeng remained silent, the incident was over, but many people still remembered it.
"I don't remember, but I think the peony flowers here must be very beautiful in spring." Even if the royal family was embarrassed at that time, the palace was the facade, and the ministers had to decorate the facade, so the flowers in the imperial garden were rare. Rare species.
Li Liang's voice was high-pitched, and his laughing voice was even harsher, "Yes, it's very beautiful. Every year, a hundred flowers bloom in the imperial garden, and a hundred schools of thought contend, but none of them can compare to the elegance and luxury of the peony. The old slave is getting old, and I'm afraid I'm going to see her. Now that the first master and the first empress dowager are gone, the old slave will tell the first master and the first empress dowager that the young master is doing well, so they can rest assured."
In the end, Li Liang spoke softly, but Yan Feng heard it, and replied with melancholy for a long time: "Eunuch Li, thank you very much."
"Hey, who is that?" A group of people came up the path from the imperial garden to the harem, led by two beautifully dressed girls, followed by a group of palace people.
Seeing the fourth and fifth princesses, Li Liang took a step back and introduced the identities of the two princesses to Yanfeng.
"Yanfeng has seen the fourth and fifth princesses before." Yanfeng bowed his hands, and Li Liang introduced Yanfeng to the fourth and fifth princesses.
The two princesses returned a salute, their faces were a little uncomfortable, "I have seen Qi Guogong."
The mother concubine of the fourth and fifth princesses is Concubine Wu Hui, and the mother concubine of the fifth princess is Concubine Zhang Shu. The two often hear the same nagging words from their mother concubine.
"Your father is fascinated by that vixen outside the palace, and I can't compete with her anyway." After a long time, the two princesses who grew up a little bit threatened and lured the palace people around them, and only then did they know such a past. .
I heard that the young man looks very similar to his mother, and now they see that the young man looks so handsome, which shows how beautiful Mrs. Yan is.
Li Liang didn't intend to get Yan Feng involved with the two princesses, so he saluted and took Yan Feng away.
"When will the young master get married?" Although it is autumn, there is always greenness in the imperial garden. Li Liang is serving the emperor. He knows that Yanfeng is engaged, but he doesn't know when.
Yan Feng smiled and said, "March next year."
Gradually walked, walked around, and finally walked back to Yugan Palace.
On the other side of the imperial garden, the fourth and fifth princesses were not interested in enjoying the scenery anymore, and they returned to the palace of the mother and concubine with their own thoughts.
Concubine Wu Hui happened to be playing with birds on the porch, and when she saw her daughter coming back, she asked without raising her eyes, "You're back so soon?" Love a daughter, but without a son, it is not beautiful after all.
The fourth princess said absent-mindedly: "Mother, I just saw Duke Qi in the imperial garden."
Concubine Wu Hui was stunned, Duke Qi?After a while, she realized, with a fierce look in her eyes: "That woman is back?" If it wasn't for that woman, how could she have come to such a point in her life?Want to be loved but not favored, want status but not status, sandwiched between the queen and concubines with princes, always bow down.
"It should be, Duke Qi is accompanied by Li Liang himself, and Mrs. Yan should meet the emperor in the Royal Study Room." The fourth princess said lazily, but she complained in her heart, if you have the ability, go to the Royal Study Room to confront that woman!
Linzhi Palace, Concubine Zhang Shu was stunned and speechless when she heard the words of the fifth princess. His Majesty has given the concubines in the harem all these years, but he still couldn't give them what they wanted. His Majesty's heart is only How embarrassing are they for that woman!
"Mother and Concubine, Qi Guogong looks so good-looking. I heard that he looks very similar to Mrs. Yan. If Mrs. Yan really looks like him, she is so beautiful. No wonder the father never forgets it." The fifth princess held her chin and sighed, "Mr. Concubine, he is really good-looking."
Concubine Zhang Shu came back to her senses, looked at the fifth princess, and ordered word by word: "Wu'er, you can't have any other thoughts, the Duke of Qi is already engaged, don't put your mind on him, there are so many good men in this world." Yes, the mother concubine will choose a good one for you, so that he will always be the same to you." She failed emotionally, but her daughter is a princess and cannot tolerate betrayal by a man, so she must make her daughter a happy life.
"Ah, are you engaged?" The fifth princess was extremely disappointed. Hearing Concubine Zhang Shu's words, she pursed her lips: "Got it, concubine mother."
Pei Jin didn't keep Yunyao and Ba Xiong, but he made an arbitrary decision to hold a banquet in the Qi Mansion in the evening, and asked Yunyao and Ba Xiong to entertain him. Yunyao could still agree to this small request.
After coming out of the palace, before noon, Gao Da, Wu Yushu and Mumbai Ping's family arrived. All three of them brought their wives and children, a dozen of them, especially the large number of children.
Yunyao has seen Gao Da's children, Wu Yushu's and Mumbaiping's children, the son has seen them, but the daughter has not.Except for the married girl, the Gao family has three children, Wu Yushu has two sons and a daughter, and Mumbaiping has two sons and two daughters.Last year, Wu Yushu and Mumbaiping sent their sons out on a study tour, and the destination was Haicheng. Yunyao and Ba Xiong, as aunts and uncles, naturally wanted to entertain their nephews.
Don't look at Ba Xiong's vicious appearance, but it is very attractive to children. No matter how Yunyao and the others stepped into the house, several boys surrounded him, this one hugged Ba Xiong's left arm, the other hugged Ba Xiong On his right arm, someone was still pulling on Ba Xiong's sleeve. Seeing this, the two boys from Gao Da's family rushed forward to grab the uncle's attention.
Yan Feng's face was dark, Yan Feng had long hands and long feet, and he pulled the boys out in twos and twos. He hugged Ba Xiong's arm, and said proudly and proudly: "What are you grabbing, this is my father!"
Yunyao had black lines on his face, and Ba Xiong was very happy: "I like them all, I like them all! My son is a handsome man, and my nephew is also a handsome boy. Uncle likes them all!"
The children of the Gundam family basically inherited Qiu Yun's appearance, so they are not as tall and thick as Gundam, but rather handsome and good-looking.Needless to say, Wu Yushu and Mumbai Ping, they themselves look good, and their children's looks are naturally not bad.
When several families were enjoying themselves, someone knocked on the door. The old man guarding the door was still He Bo. He opened the door and saw a young woman of fourteen or fifteen years old with a veil on her face, followed by two servant girls who looked like her. woman.
"Please tell the old man that Yan Qingling is begging to see Mrs. Yan and Duke Qi." Uncle He went in without knowing it, and the woman lowered her eyes and said, "My father's surname is also Yan, and the Duke is my cousin."
He Bo said in a daze: "Girl wait a moment, I will report."
The door was gently closed, Yan Qingling lowered her eyes, her thoughts drifted, her right hand unconsciously stroked her cheek, the burning pain was unforgettable, and she dared not forget it even after she came back.Obviously he promised to love her for the rest of his life, but he betrayed her, and finally let her die in the fire. In this life, she wanted him to taste this kind of heart-wrenching pain.
