protect my lady

Compared with Suzhou, the capital city in winter is significantly colder, and the big trees on the street seem to be covered with snow that has not dispersed all the time.

After spending three days on the road, Fu Feiyu stepped into the capital smoothly.

After returning to the capital, Fu Feiyu immediately went back to Yashan to meet her master, intending to ask her master to help her divination whether her marriage with Qingchen would go well.

As for Fu Feichen and Ye Qingyi, they had to rush back to the palace to report something, so they didn't go to Yashan with Fu Feiyu.

"The disciple pays homage to the master. It's been a long time since I haven't seen the master. The master is still graceful, personable, and gentle..." Fu Feiyu opened his mouth with a bunch of rainbow farts, trying to make a good impression first.

"Okay, what do you need my help for? Just say it straight, don't need to talk so much nonsense." Ye Chen has taught Fu Feiyu for so many years. It can be said that he has watched her grow up since he was a child, so he doesn't know what she is playing. idea.

"Hey, master really understands me." Fu Fei leaned over like a dog, and graciously helped Ye Chen beat his back.

"Master, you should know that I want to marry Qingchen as my wife." Fu Feiyu blinked.

"If you want to do this, then just do it." Ye Chen replied indifferently.

"To tell the truth, master, I came back this time to tell my father and mother, and try my best to get them to agree to this matter." Fu Feiyu paused as he spoke, and the movement of beating his back with his hands was lighter, " Master, do you think my trip can fulfill my wish?"

Ye Chen touched his beard, and there was a smile in his eyes, "I don't know about this, you should ask your parents, why are you asking me?"

"Master, isn't your old man very good at divination, so you can do the math for me, just for once." Fu Feiyu ran to sit cross-legged in front of her master, looking at him expectantly.

The expression on Ye Chen's face didn't change at all, and the old god asked. "That shepherd girl, you really like her."

"That's natural." Fu Feiyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ye Chen stopped touching his beard, lifted the lid of the teacup and took a look inside.

"Master, I'll come." Seeing the empty teacup, Fu Feiyu quickly picked up the teapot on one side and filled the teacup to [-]%.

Ye Chen picked up the teacup and blew on it, then put it down again, "No regrets?"

Fu Feiyu nodded, "I don't regret it."

"Okay, come with me." Ye Chen didn't have the heart to torment his little apprentice, and got up and took Fu Feiyu to his divination stone room.

Ye Chen took out six copper coins and put them in Fu Feiyu's palm, "Close your eyes, hold these few copper coins, and think about what you want to ask before throwing them out."

Fu Feiyu tightly held the six copper coins in his hand, and according to his master's instructions, he closed his eyes and recited silently several times in his heart before throwing them out.

As soon as the copper coin was thrown out, Fu Feiyu anxiously waited for the result, "Master, how is it?"

Ye Chen looked at the six copper coins on the table, with a look of secrets on his face, "It depends on man."

"It's all about human effort?" Fu Feiyu repeated these four words, still not quite understanding, "Master, what do you mean, as long as I work hard, I will succeed?"

"You can say that." Ye Chen collected the six copper coins and stacked them one by one, "But you can't force anything, some things are not the best time yet."

Fu Feiyu rubbed his head, still confused, "Master, what do you mean, I don't quite understand."

Ye Chen rubbed his beard and laughed, "It's okay if you don't understand, the secrets of the sky must not be leaked, there is only so much I can say, as for what it means, you can figure it out yourself."

After speaking, Ye Chen put away the six copper coins, flung his sleeves and disappeared, leaving only the last sentence for Fu Feiyu.

"It's getting late, you can go back down the mountain."

that's all?But she couldn't comprehend anything.Fu Feiyu patted his forehead, his face darkened.

After staying in the stone room for a while, Fu Feiyu belatedly remembered the gift he had prepared for the master, took out the pocket watch he bought in Hangzhou from his cuff and put it on the table, leaving a brief instructions before leaving.

Walking with neither heavy nor light steps, Fu Feiyu wandered slowly from the top of Yashan Mountain to the foot of the mountain, and was about to gallop back when he saw a familiar carriage.

Fu Feiyu's eyes lit up one by one, and he quickly got off his horse and ran to the door of the carriage. The guards around the carriage were also familiar with it, and they didn't intend to stop him at all.

"Mother?" Fu Feiyu stood beside the carriage and shouted happily.

As soon as the words were finished, a slender and slender hand stretched out from the carriage, and opened the curtain, "Here, little flying fish, come up quickly."

"Okay." Fu Feiyu raised the corner of his mouth, and jumped into the carriage with one step.

"Mother, mother, I miss you so much." After boarding the carriage, Fu Feiyu plunged into his mother's arms.

Wen Ruoyun responded with a smile, tightly holding her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time in her arms, "Mother is here."

After being in his mother's arms for a long time, Fu Feiyu got up reluctantly, and sat upright on the side.

"How long will you stay at home when you come back this time?" Wen Ruoyun asked softly, reaching out to help Fu Feiyu tidy up the crooked hairpin.

"I plan to accompany my mother after the Lantern Festival, what does my mother think?" Fu Feiyu asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Okay, of course I hope Xiao Feiyu can stay with me for a while longer." Wen Ruoyun said softly.

Compared with Fu Feichen, the eldest daughter, Wen Ruoyun obviously cares and loves the younger daughter more.

The reason for this is very simple, Fu Feichen raised her herself since she was a child, and she has always been given the best treatment in terms of basic necessities of life.

As for Fu Feiyu, when she just learned to stand, he had to reluctantly hand her over to a national teacher. She has always lived in the poor environment of Yashan, not to mention, and she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she has never enjoyed it. The treatment she deserves.

After thinking of this, Wen Ruoyun felt even more distressed, and became more determined to give her the best things after Fu Feiyu and Guan.

Feeling distressed, Wen Ruoyun thought of the letter he had received more than a month ago, and began to ask around.

Wen Ruoyun: "Little Feiyu, have you been staying in Suzhou for the past few months?"

Fu Feiyu nodded obediently, ready to be interrogated.

"Your master wrote to me." Wen Ruoyun organized her words, trying not to look like someone who can beat mandarin ducks, "That shepherd girl, what do you think of her?"

"I think Qingchen is very good and treats me very well." Fu Feiyu sat up straight, "Mother, I know my request may seem excessive or even absurd to you, but I just think Qingchen is very good. I am very happy and comfortable with her."

Wen Ruoyun paused, "Then you are unhappy with me?"

"Of course not. Of course I am very happy with Niangqin." Fu Feiyu quickly explained, "But Niangqin and Qingchen are different, and I can't tell you the specific difference. Anyway, they are just happy differently."

"I like Niangqin, but I also like Qingchen." Fu Feiyu felt a little embarrassed while talking.Although Mu Qingchen was not present, she was still a little inexplicably shy.

After hearing this, Wen Ruoyun felt sour in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She has been waiting for more than ten years, seeing that Fu Feiyu will return to her side in sixteen months, but at this time the youngest daughter has a sweetheart, how can she, as a mother, bear it.

"Little Feiyu, you're still young, why don't you think about this matter after you get crowned?" Wen Ruoyun spoke in a discussing tone with a very gentle attitude.

After reaching the crown, her youngest daughter can resume her identity, and even if she likes the girl's family, she can choose from those honorable marquises.

As the master of the harem, Wen Ruoyun had never seen anything before, so she calmly accepted that her youngest daughter liked the girl's house.

After all, some interesting things happen in the harem from time to time. There are rumors of mirror grinding between palace ladies and even concubines.

"Do you want to wait for the crown?" Fu Feiyu pouted unconsciously.

My birthday is in April, and there are still [-] months before I reach the crown, which is probably too long.

"Mother, don't you object to the matter between me and Qingchen?" Fu Feiyu asked.

Wen Ruoyun frowned slightly, how could she answer this.

Say no objection, Wen Ruoyun actually doesn't want Fu Feiyu to make a marriage contract before recovering his identity.

But when he objected, Wen Ruoyun worried that Fu Feiyu would be sad.

After all, he is the child he owes all the time, Wen Ruoyun definitely doesn't want to make Fu Feiyu sad.

"I haven't met the shepherd girl yet, and I can't understand a person just by describing it in a few words." Wen Ruoyun finally ambiguous her point of view and adopted the method of procrastinating words.

"That's it." Fu Feiyu was a little disappointed, but reason told her that such a result was not bad.

"Mother, can I make an engagement with the shepherd girl first?" Fu Feiyu clasped his fingers, "After all, the shepherd girl is not young."

If I wait until I and Guan are engaged, wouldn't I have to be on guard against someone coveting my daughter-in-law at all times, that would be too tiring.

Wen Ruoyun thought for a while, but still couldn't bear to refuse, "I need to discuss this matter with your father again. If there is no problem, we can get engaged first."

"Thank you mother!" Fu Feiyu grinned happily, and couldn't help but hugged her mother and kissed her.

"I knew my mother was the best!"

Wen Ruoyun smiled, "Little slippery boy, who else can mother be nice to if she doesn't treat you well?"

At the same time, at the place with the highest level of martial law in the capital, Fu Feichen was standing next to him and reporting the situation one by one.

The man sitting on the first seat, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, nodded slowly while listening.

"In this case, I will have to make some deployments in Tatar earlier." Fu Qiming tapped his fingers on the table again and again, thinking intently.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, originally there were many and chaotic tribes on the Tatar side, and the civil strife alone had already overwhelmed their troops. But when I went there this year, I found that most of the tribes there were killed by a man named Zha It is preliminarily estimated that the hoarding of troops has reached 5 people."

After hearing that Tatar's military strength had reached [-], Fu Qiming's expression suddenly became more solemn, "With [-] troops, the number of soldiers stationed in Tatar during the Great Zhou Dynasty was only [-]."

You must know that the Tatar soldiers are young and strong men who have lived in the local area all year round, and they are very familiar with the weather and terrain over there.If the war really started, Dazhou's [-] garrisons really couldn't beat the Tatars' [-] soldiers.

"Fei Chen, what do you think I should do?" Fu Qiming threw the question to his eldest daughter.

"Returning to the father, the son thinks that Tashi should be appeased first, and he can be made a great khan."

Fu Qiming raised his head with some interest: "Then?"

"My son also found out that Tashi has a younger brother. His ambition is no less than Tashi's. We can start from this aspect. It would be great if we can provoke a fight between the two brothers." Fu Feichen paused while speaking, "Besides In addition, we need to increase the garrison in Tatar and train them strictly, as long as Tashi reveals his rebellious thoughts, we can beat him until he loses his temper."

"This idea is not wrong." Fu Qiming agreed with Fu Feichen's idea, but also raised questions. "But how to provoke the two brothers to fight each other? How to increase the garrison against the Tartars? What changes need to be made in the training method?"

Fu Feichen frowned slightly, and thought for a while, "Both brothers Tashi have great ambitions, and no one wants to be under the pressure. As long as we exaggerate his achievements when announcing that Tashi is not a Khan, Just give him the credit and rewards."

"As for the garrison, I haven't thought of any specific countermeasures. I just want to find a veteran who is familiar with Tatars to lead the army." Fu Feichen said respectfully, "After all, I am not very experienced in leading troops. .”

"It's a good idea. Regarding Tatar's ideas and plans, you go back and draw up a detailed memorial for me." Fu Qiming said with satisfaction.

As expected of the child he had cultivated with all his heart and soul from the very beginning, he really could take on big things.

After chatting about business affairs, Fu Qiming started chatting about private affairs.

Compared with the previous state of monarch and minister, Fu Feichen was more relaxed when chatting about private affairs, sitting on a chair, drinking tea to moisturize his throat, and reporting the situation.

"Everything is fine with Xiao Feiyu. According to the national teacher's intention, she is ready to become a teacher now. Except for a few old monsters in the world, no one is her opponent." When mentioning his sister, Fu Feichen's expression was also brisk. a lot.

"That's fine, when the two of you reach the crown, I will definitely have a big fight." Fu Qiming said, "Is Little Flying Fish in Yashan now?"

Fu Feichen nodded, "Sister, she has something to discuss with the national teacher."

"Hey, why doesn't Xiao Feiyu have a father like me in his heart? The first thing he does when he returns to the capital is not to visit his parents." Fu Qiming said while sighing.

"Your Majesty, don't think so. The second prince may have to go back for something urgent, maybe he went back to get you a gift." The chief eunuch who had been waiting on the side said.

As an old man who has served the emperor for more than 20 years, Mr. Lu is very clear about the emperor's thoughts.

Her Majesty the Eldest Princess is very important, but when it comes to doting, Her Majesty's doting on the second prince who has not been in the imperial city is no less than the Eldest Princess, or even more.

"Where would that brat think of my old father, maybe he gave her Ye Chen a gift first." Fu Qiming said seemingly dissatisfied, but the smile in the corner of his eyes had already betrayed his heart.

As the emperor, Fu Qiming was respected by everyone around him, so he could relax a little in front of Fu Feiyu, who didn't know his identity, and feel the usual father-daughter or father-son relationship.

"Father, I remember that the queen mother has already left the palace to pick up Feiyu. According to their speed, it will arrive in the evening." Fu Feichen added in a timely manner.

"Ruoyun has already gone to pick up someone, why didn't you say hello to me?" Fu Qiming raised his eyebrows and glanced at the time outside.

"Lu Cheng, hurry up and arrange a carriage, I want to change clothes and leave the palace."

"According to the order."

Fu Feiyu stayed in the carriage and sat in a comfortable position, chatting a little bit about his downhill career in the past few months.

For her own mother, Fu Feiyu has developed a habit since she was a child, and will tell her recent situation in rare meetings.

It was the same this time, she didn't have too many scruples, she just talked about everything while chatting.

Wen Ruoyun listened carefully, asking a few questions from time to time.

"In this way, Miss Mu's situation at home is not very good. Brothers and sisters can be on her head." Wen Ruoyun frowned slightly, disapproving of Master Mu's way of treating everyone equally.

Concubine sons and concubine daughters should focus on training since they were born. As for those concubine sons and daughters, they should be cultivated if they are good-natured, and those who are not good-natured should be sent to a farther place and sent to be strictly guarded.

Wen Ruoyun asked, "Where's Miss Shepherd's mother?"

"I don't have much contact with Mrs. Mu, so I'm probably a very standard mistress." Fu Feiyu touched his chin and said, "I attach great importance to Mu Zixuan, and it seems that I treat Qingchen well."

After the topic of Mujia was revealed, Wen Ruoyun began to criticize Fu Feiyu for being free and unrestrained after going down the mountain, "Walking alone in the rivers and lakes should always pay attention to the surrounding environment. Today you have to throw away the money that is close to you. I will lose my life!"

As for Fu Feiyu's safety issue, Wen Ruoyun wished to remind him every time, "Don't refute, it's the same even if you have high martial arts skills, you must be defensive."

Fu Feiyu lowered his head and listened carefully to the training.

Fu's Mansion is located near the imperial city. It is a five-entry mansion. Although the guards at the gate are dressed in simple family mansions, they can tell from their sharp eyes that none of them are simple roles.

Before the sun set, Fu Feiyu and Wen Ruoyun arrived at their door smoothly.

Fu Feiyu lifted his robe and jumped out of the carriage first, then carefully helped his mother down and kissed her down, and helped Wen Ruoyun tidy up the cloak.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, Fei Yu is much more sensible?" Wen Ruoyun raised her eyebrows, and there was a hint of sourness in her tone.

Wen Ruoyun has a thorough mind, and after Fu Feiyu's coherent and skillful movements, she has already guessed a lot.

This also proves from the side that my youngest daughter really cares about that shepherd girl, so much so that she can even do the details of getting on and off the carriage very well.

Fu Feiyu didn't hear her mother's hidden jealousy, and thought that Wen Ruoyun was praising herself, and the smile on her face was a little bit more.

"Of course, mother, don't always treat me like a child, I'm done."

Seeing the innocent smile on his son's face, what else could Wen Ruoyun do, of course he just laughed it off.

"See Madam, Second Young Master." Before reaching the door, the guard guarding the door saluted and greeted him in advance.

Fu Feiyu is also used to this, "Excuse me."

Stepping into the gate, Fu Qiming came out from the hall, followed by Fu Feichen and Ye Qingyi.

"Hello Daddy, Hello Sister, Hello Senior Sister." Fu Feiyu said hello to each of them, and then opened his arms to give Fu Qiming a hug.

"You still know how to come back." Fu Qiming smiled and tapped Fu Feiyu's head, "Why have you been down the mountain for so long, and you don't know how to come and see?"

Fu Feiyu touched the place where he was knocked, and explained with a blink of an eye, "Master told me to travel a little farther away, so I went south."

"Is this the reason why you don't go home?" Fu Qiming put on the air of a patriarch, "It's fine if you don't go home to visit your parents, why didn't you even send a letter back, is it too comfortable to play outside? You don’t want to go home anymore?”

"Of course not, Daddy, don't talk nonsense." Fu Feiyu quickly retorted, "I've always thought of Daddy and Mother in my heart, and I even prepared gifts for you!"

"Gift?" Wen Ruoyun was a little curious, "What kind of gift?"

"I'll put it on hold right away, I'll go get it." After saying that, Fu Feiyu ran away in a hurry, and at the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Fortunately, I bought four pocket watches at that time, and gave one to Qingchen and one to the master, and now I happen to have two more to give to my father and mother.

As for the gifts for Sister A and Senior Sister, I can only run a few more laps in the capital before the festival.

Both Fu Qiming and Wen Ruoyun showed a certain interest in some novel pocket watches, and spent a lot of time researching this gadget that counts time by clockwork.

When it was time for dinner, Fu Feiyu looked at the table full of dishes and exclaimed, aren't these all his favorite dishes!

Wen Ruoyun: "I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare it for you, do you like it?"

"I like it, my mother is so kind to me." Fu Feiyu said happily, her eyes almost narrowed.

"Lu Cheng, bring me the wine I brought over here." Seeing the big family who rarely sat together, Fu Qiming was in a very happy mood.

Regardless of his important court affairs or urgent military aircraft, he is now an ordinary old father who accompanies his children to eat.
