Chongxi [rebirth]

It was the old concubine Shen Wanyu who was helped out of the car.

She was wearing a long jacket with a pale green and auspicious cloud pattern with a stand-up collar, and a section of a navy blue woven gold horse-face skirt was exposed under the long jacket.She was wearing a black cloak that reached her ankles outside, and only a very plain wooden hairpin was inserted between the coiled gray hair, which was set off by the orange-red setting sun behind her, making the whole body more indifferent and alienated.

Li Fengqi turned the wheelchair forward, stopped a step away from her, and called her mother.

The old princess paused for a moment on his leg, and twisted the beads in her hand: "What's wrong with your leg?"

"The residual poison has not been cleaned up for the time being. It's not a serious problem. Mother doesn't have to worry." Li Fengqi directly used what Ye Yunting had said to the people before.

"...You have suffered." The old concubine looked at him for a moment and said.

"Small injury, mother Lao is worried."

The mother and son went back and forth, and the conversation stopped here.After a few breaths of silence, it was still Li Fengqi who said: "Mother is tired from traveling and traveling, if you have something to say, let's go back to the house and talk about it."

The old concubine nodded when she heard the words, and got into the carriage again with the support of the young woman without saying anything.

The carriage slowly drove into the city gate.When the old princess returned to Beijing from Rongyang this time, there were only two carriages in total, one for people and one for luggage.There are also four escorts on horseback, they are Li Fengqi's men, they are all elite soldiers in the Xuanjia Army.

The old concubine's car drove into the city and was no longer in danger. The four soldiers did not go to escort, but stayed behind to accompany Li Fengqi.

They peeked at Li Fengqi in the wheelchair with worried expressions, hesitating to speak several times, but none of them dared to poke their lord's wound.

I also want to know how humiliating it would be for the God of War, who used to gallop on the battlefield to take the leaders of the enemy generals, but now he can only sit on a wheelchair.If they asked again at this time, even if they asked for a beating, they were just pouring salt on the prince's wound.

The four of them silently opened the way on both sides, just doing it without realizing it.

On the contrary, Li Fengqi glanced at them and said coldly: "Speak up if you have something to say."

The few people were startled, hesitated for a moment but couldn't hold back and asked: "My lord, your leg..."

"That's all for the time being, I know what's in mind." Li Fengqi glanced at them, saw that their expressions changed from solemn to relaxed, lifted his chin, and ordered: "Go and get a sedan chair."

The two soldiers immediately took orders to find the sedan chair.

Ye Yunting was puzzled when he heard the words: "What do you want a sedan chair for?" They walked all the way just now, and he thought they would have to go back,

"Aren't you tired from walking?" Li Fengqi looked at him.

Ye Yunting hesitated for a moment, and said honestly: "Tired."

From Zhaohe Main Street to the gate of the city, there is really a long distance.Previously, they walked all the way to let everyone in Shangjing know that King Yong'an was detoxified and his life was safe. Now that their goal has been achieved, it is better not to leave if they can.

Li Fengqi's lips curved slightly: "Then go back in a sedan chair."

The two soldiers came back quickly with a sedan chair. The sedan chair was found temporarily. It was not big, and it was carried by four people. It seemed a bit reluctant to sit on two big men.

Ye Yunting subconsciously looked at Li Fengqi.

"Go up, I'll sit here." Li Fengqi raised his eyebrows slightly, and patted the armrest of the wheelchair.

Ye Yunting pursed his lips and sat up without pretense.After he sat down, the bearer lifted up the sedan chair and walked steadily forward.

"Let's go." Li Fengqi said, and a soldier came up behind him, pushed him forward, and happened to be walking side by side with the sedan chair.

Ji Lian, who was lagging behind, looked between the sedan chair and Li Fengqi, and finally chose to walk behind with the others.

The sedan chair carried by four people was a little bumpy, but it was much easier than walking on two legs.Ye Yunting secretly rubbed his sore legs, and couldn't help sticking to the car wall, and secretly lifted a corner of the curtain to look out.

Just saw Li Fengqi's profile.

In the past few days, everything went well, Li Fengqi's overly thin cheeks grew back a lot of flesh, and his complexion improved a lot.The skin looks white and radiant under the dark sky.Generally, a man who is too fair will appear weak to some extent, but his profile is too tough, with clear brow bones, straight nose, and sharp jaw line, so that not only does he not appear weak, but adds a bit of coldness.

It's like the white snow on the top of a mountain that doesn't melt all the year round.

He has always lacked facial emotion, so he looks more and more cold and unapproachable.

Ye Yunting looked at him, and thought of the old concubine who had the same temperament as him.

The facial features of the mother and son are actually not very similar, but the desolate and alienated temperament seems to be carved out of the same mold.

Before seeing the old princess, he was still struggling with how to deal with the old princess.But when they really met, they found that the eyes of the old concubine did not fall on him at all.

Not to mention him, even Li Fengqi didn't say a few words.

Ye Yunting's biological mother died young, but the nanny treated him like a parent and child, so that he always felt that the relationship between mother and child in the world should be extremely close and strong.Just like Mrs. Yin, although she has a bad temper, she is extremely patient with Ye Wang.

This is probably blood thick as water.

He had never seen such a cold and weird relationship between a mother and child. Watching them talk was like a pair of strangers wearing masks pretending to be familiar.Or, maybe even worse than strangers.

The doubts in Ye Yunting's heart grew bigger and bigger, a pair of black eyes were hidden behind the curtain, looking at Li Fengqi without blinking.It seems to see the innermost truth through the deserted skin.

However, Li Fengqi didn't have the slightest flaw in his body.

He stared at it for a long time, then lowered the curtain in frustration.

He didn't notice that when the curtain was lowered, Li Fengqi, who had been looking at the front, glanced sideways at the shaking car curtain, and the corners of his straight lips were slightly curved.

……

The two groups of people returned to the palace one after another.

The vermilion lacquered front door of the palace was open, and two servants were waiting by the front door, one on the left and the other on the right, saying, "Welcome the prince and concubine back to the mansion".

Ye Yunting got off the sedan chair, and saw the lively scene of bright lights and people coming and going from the gate, his eyebrows and eyes moved, and he went to see Li Fengqi.

Li Fengqi did not move, and entered the mansion together with Ye Yunting.

Yong'an Palace is huge, originally it was a house with five entrances and five exits.However, due to years of neglect, the paint surface of the fine pillars is mottled, and the previous servants have been dismissed, the mansion has lost popularity, and it looks very deserted.After evening, there was even a gloomy feeling.

But now the sky was already dark, but the palace was usually gloomy and deserted, and it became lively and noisy.

Exquisite octagonal lanterns are hung under the eaves. The wildly growing flowers and plants have obviously been carefully taken care of. The yellow and fallen leaves accumulated on the ground have long been cleaned up. The two of them stopped far away and saluted.

It really is different today.

Feeling emotional, Ye Yunting pushed Li Fengqi through the chaoshou verandah, bypassed the screen wall, and arrived at the main hall.

In front of the main hall, Cui Xi was waiting with a few servants, and when he saw them coming, he greeted them with a smile: "My lord and concubine are well, the old concubine is already in the hall first." After saying that, he turned sideways to welcome them in.

Ye Yunting pushed Li Fengqi into the door, looked at him out of the corner of his eye, thinking that today's Cui Changshi is also very different from the previous days.

All in all, the pomp of King Yong'an is back.

When the two entered the hall, the old concubine was already sitting on the main seat, and the unfamiliar maid was pouring tea for her. Seeing the two coming in, she cleverly poured two cups of hot tea and served them.

Li Fengqi glanced coldly, but didn't answer.

The maid looked at him timidly, seemingly at a loss: "My lord?"

"You just came here today, so you don't know that the prince doesn't like leaf tea." Ye Yunting picked up a cup from the tray, the lid of the cup gently brushed over the tea foam, and gave a reason: "Take it away."

The maid subconsciously glanced at Cui Xi who was behind her, bent her knees, and stepped back.

Seeing this, Cui Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty learned that the old concubine returned to the capital. He was afraid that there were too few servants in the mansion and the service would not be thorough, so he specially asked me to pick a useful maid from the palace to serve. If the lord doesn't like the one just now , when I return to the palace, I will pick a few clever ones and send them over."

"No need." Li Fengqi glanced at him with a half-smile, "My Yong'an Palace does not support idlers."

Cui Xi's smile remained the same: "This is all His Majesty's wish."

Li Fengqi snorted, unwilling to fight with him again, waved his hand and said: "I stay here, you can give me a word, just say that I will enter the palace again some other day... Thank you."

He pronounced the word "thank you" very emphatically.

"My lord's words will be conveyed to Your Majesty." Cui Xi bowed, his fox-like eyes slightly narrowed: "Then I will return to the palace first to return to my command."

Cui Xi left with someone.

Apart from the serving servants, there were only three people left in the hall.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the old concubine sat upright in the main seat, staring down at the teacup in her hand, as if in a trance.

Li Fengqi frowned slightly, and his face didn't look very good.

The servants who were serving stood on the side, all watching their noses, noses, noses and hearts, and even the sound of breathing was extremely light, so as not to disturb the master.

Seeing this, Ye Yunting coughed lightly, and broke the strange atmosphere with a loud voice: "Mother... the journey was exhausting, did you have dinner? If not, I will order my servants to prepare it."

The old concubine is Li Fengqi's mother, and he is Li Fengqi's nominal concubine, so he should call his mother out of emotion and reason.

Only then did the old concubine notice him, stared at him, and said: "You are the one who made Hanzhang happy?" She seemed to recall: "Is it the eldest son of Duke Qi?"

Hearing her say "Hanzhang", Ye Yunting was stunned for a moment, thinking that it should be Li Fengqi's name or baby name, and then said: "Yes, my minister's name is Yunting."

"It's been hard for you to take care of Hanzhang these days." The old concubine nodded slightly, glanced at the young woman beside her, and called "Yiqiu".

Hearing the sound, Yiqiu took out a palm-sized wooden box, handed it to Ye Yunting, said with a smile, "This is specially prepared by the old princess for the princess, and it was consecrated in front of the Buddha, see if the princess likes it or not. "

The elders dare not say goodbye.

Ye Yunting didn't shirk, just took it with a smile, opened the wooden box, and saw a watery emerald lotus pendant lying on the red silk cloth.
