She is a heartthrob who wants to live a good life

Chapter 78: The Scheming Princess 35

"Hanlin Academy."

Feng Sheng smiled sarcastically, "Your Majesty knows my identity, so my path to promotion will definitely not be smooth."

That's why he asked Xiao Chongyu what his plans were. Unexpectedly, this man's mind was full of the princess and he answered the question irrelevantly.

It is unknown how long he will have to wait patiently for the emperor to pass away. Even with Xiao Chongyu's support, when will he be able to truly take power?

Feng Shengli's eyebrows were stern, and she said casually, "But I saw that the emperor was in good health during the palace examination, which is also a good thing."

Xiao Chongyu also retracted his gaze and chuckled: "You don't have to be so roundabout in front of me. I have my own plans."

He looked at the sky and said, "The weather changes step by step. Even if the sky is clear, dark clouds will cover the sun first, and then another sun will appear after a rain."

If such outrageous words had been said before, no one would have heard them because of Xiao Chongyu's cautiousness.

However, his power continued to expand during this period, and he was upset about being separated from his beloved, so he looked down on the emperor more and more.

Besides, there was that incident...

It seems that he still needs to make plans early, so as to avoid any trouble. If the emperor finds out one day, Cang Cang will be in danger of death.

"I have to go to the Jingwang Mansion for a banquet, so please leave."

Having said that, Xiao Chongyu stood up and walked out.

Feng Sheng uttered "yes" without any sincerity, his eyes cold.

Wei Yun took a few steps back and placed a porcelain bottle on the table: "This is the antidote for this month."

Seeing that Xiao Chongyu had already gone downstairs, he reminded him again: "Don't dream of having any possibility with the princess anymore, she is destined to be..."

Having said this, Wei Yun paused before continuing: "Besides, with the princess's personality, she will not choose you."

After saying these hurtful words, he hurried out.

Feng Sheng sat down again, stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the porcelain bottle on the table, then slowly closed his eyes.

The thing he least believed in in his life was fate.

Ever since he could remember, he knew that he was different from other children of his age. In Di Zheng's academy, everyone else had their own parents, but he did not.

He was an abandoned baby that Di Zheng picked up from somewhere.

Di Zheng was a great scholar of his time, with his students all over the world. Many high-ranking officials in the court had more or less connections with him.

Although he has passed away, his influence still remains, and many people with extraordinary family backgrounds send their children to the academy he founded.

But Feng Sheng never felt inferior among these people.

So what if these people had better family backgrounds than him? They were not as talented as him. Many of them were almost a generation older than him, but they still could not achieve the same achievements as he did at the age of fifteen.

But since he met the princess, Feng Sheng has never hated his background so much.

If he had a status and position second only to one person and above ten thousand people, he would not be like this now. He knows that so many people are coveting the princess, but he does not even have the qualifications to be jealous.

Seeing his son coming back in a daze, he sighed secretly while holding the inkstone.

Before, he hoped that the young master would figure it out sooner, but in fact, the young master understood it in his heart as well.

If there was only Xiao Chongling, Feng Sheng could still risk his life to earn the credit of following the dragon, and then ask Xiao Chongyu for mercy after getting rid of Xiao Chongling.

Now there is no hope at all.

Feng Sheng only hopes that during his lifetime, he can still say his name in front of the princess so that she will remember him.

****************

When Xiao Chongyu stepped into the wedding hall, the celebrant had just finished reading the last sentence aloud.

Xiao Chongling reluctantly let go of the red silk in his hand and watched Liuguang and Yicai supporting Shen Weicang as they walked towards the bridal chamber.

Seeing that Shen Weicang's back had disappeared, Xiao Chongling came back to his senses and responded to everyone's blessings with a smile.

Xiao Chongyu gritted his teeth hard to suppress the jealousy in his heart.

What's the big deal.

If Cang Cang marries him she can only be a princess. In the future, he will hold a grand ceremony to crown her as queen, so that everyone in the world will know that she is the mother of a country.

The auspicious day was arranged on the anniversary of Xiao Chongling's death, so that he could take a good look at what was worthy of Cang Cang.

No, it’s unlucky to choose such a good day. It’s better to choose it on Cang Cang’s birthday.

That’s not right. Cangcang’s birthday is only half a month later than mine. It would be better to celebrate my birthday on the same day as Cangcang’s, so that they would be born on the same day of the same month of the same year.

Xiao Chongyu had no idea what he was thinking about until Xiao Chongling called him three times.

Xiao Chongling's face was full of joy: "Royal brother, you must not return home until you are drunk today, so as to share in the joy."

Who wants to be part of his joy? Xiao Chongyu glanced at him and said calmly, "Of course."

Xiao Chongling also noticed that he had been lukewarm towards him during this period, and he probably still had some resentment in his heart.

After dealing with the toasts from the royal family, Xiao Chongling returned to Xiao Chongyu and poured wine for him while saying:

"Royal brother, Beiye has been in a stalemate with Xidan on the battlefield in the southwest. I have already told my father that I will leave Beijing for the southwest next month."

"Yeah."

There was no surprise or reluctance in Xiao Chongyu's tone; this was already within his expectations.

Xiao Chongling sighed:

"Although you and I are not born from the same mother, we are brothers. What can't be said between brothers? If my brother has any misunderstandings about me, you can open your heart to me."

Xiao Chongyu raised his head and drank a glass of wine, sneering in his heart.

Who is his brother?

And open your heart to him?

What did Xiao Chongling want to hear him say? That almost everything he had cherished since childhood had been taken away by him, but he still loved and respected his royal brother so much?

He, Xiao Chongyu, is not a fool. He has been sitting firmly in the East Palace since he was a child because of his hard work day and night, and he dared not make any mistakes.

The throne of crown prince was born to be his, and Cang Cang was born to be his wife.

"What are you talking about, my brother? When did I misunderstand you?"

Seeing that he was unwilling to tell him, Xiao Chongling simply spoke frankly:

"That's good. In the future, I will do my best to assist you and defend the southwest. No matter what you ask, I will do it. Please take good care of your sister-in-law while I am away from Beijing."

Xiao Chongyu looked straight at him, his dark eyes giving him a weird feeling.

"nature."

Xiao Chongyu agreed to this statement very seriously.

Shen Weicang was helped to sit on the bed. As soon as he sat down, he felt something was wrong. He stood up immediately and lifted the veil without waiting for others to react.

"Oh no! Princess, you can't do that. Your Highness needs to use the wedding scale to lift the veil. How can you lift it now?!"

Shen Weicang complained: "Something is poking me on the bed."

The wedding veil was put back on her in a hurry, and she explained, "There are longans and peanuts under the wedding quilt, which has a good meaning. Princess, please bear with it for now."

Tolerate?

Shen Weicang couldn't bear it. Whether she had a child or not wouldn't affect her plan. "Get out of here."

Mrs. Xi said in embarrassment: "Princess, this is against the rules."

"If you withdraw now, I will speak well of you in front of your master."

Shen Weicang snorted coldly:

"If you don't leave, I will have my maid leave. Then I will tell him that you left on your own accord and deliberately wanted to ruin our happy occasion."

The happy woman immediately changed the subject:

"The princess is a blessed person, so she doesn't need such vulgar things. They will only taint the princess's blessings."

She smiled and ordered the maid of Prince Jing's mansion: "Take these things away quickly so that the princess can have a good rest."

After working for a while, Shen Weicang finally sat down again.

"How long will this take?"
