Difficult for a son-in-law

After the matter of the summer money, Ming Zhan and Feng Jingnan both calmed down, giving each other three points of courtesy, plus the servants of the mansion got the reward, they were all overjoyed, and served with double heart.For a while, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was full of joy.

Feng Jingnan rewarded Ming Zhan with daily abundance, whether it was from the mansion or rewarded by the palace, Ming Zhan was the first to receive any good things.

Moreover, everyone who eats and drinks with Feng Jingnan brings Ming Zhan by his side, even before, he has never been so close to Ming Li.Feng Jingnan often said to his subordinates, "Ming Zhan is the youngest among the sons of this king, but he is the most suitable for this king." Adding another sentence, "Du Mingzhan is the most like this king."

There is a saying called "unworthy son", which was quite a severe accusation in ancient times.

On the contrary, this kind of praise is also incredible, especially in the royal family.It's almost another kind of approval of the heir's status. Of course, everyone around Feng Jingnan is happy to see this result.

The relationship between Ming Zhan and Feng Jingnan has not been very good, even Fan Wenzhou often worries about this matter in private, his son is Ming Zhan's confidant, he is naturally happy to see Ming Zhan succeeding to the throne.Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But Ming Zhan couldn't figure out Feng Jingnan's intentions, and began to suffer from insomnia due to anxiety.As the saying goes, when a night owl enters the house, he will come for everything.

What is Feng Jingnan planning?

Sometimes good and sometimes bad, Ming Zhan lay on the railing of the pavilion, squeezed fish food and sprinkled it in the water, watching the carp of Jinyu come out of the water to grab food, and the blue waves rippled around.

"Xiao Fan, tell me, is there something wrong..."

Fan Wei stood aside and said softly, "My lord, this is a good thing."

"A good thing?" Ming Zhan looked at Fan Wei sideways, why didn't he think it was a good thing?

"Yeah, if the prince is really good to the son, it's a good thing." Fan Wei smiled and continued, "Even if the prince is pretending, the prince didn't even bother to pretend in the past, but now the prince has to pretend You are kind to the son, which shows that the son has a certain prestige. The prince will not ignore you anymore."

Ming Zhan sighed, and sat down leaning on the railing. There were only the two of them in the pavilion. He patted the empty seat beside him, and Fan Wei sat down, "I know what the prince is worried about. It's just that the prince didn't rely on the prince It is only because of your favor that you ascended to the throne of the son. You are in this position, which is the result of the balance of all parties. It is naturally good to have a good relationship with the prince. If not, the prince will not touch you at least now."

"Furthermore, according to my subordinates, does the prince want to protect you?"

Ming Zhan raised his eyebrows, and Fan Wei reminded, "I forgot, we are going back to Yunnan soon. If you want to start the salt class, you will definitely offend some people. If the prince treats you coldly, it is inevitable that someone will watch the food Dier, there is a lot of right and wrong. At this time, the prince treats you well, don't think too much, just respect the prince. You are the only son of the prince, and the prince will protect you."

Ming Zhan sneered, "Could it be that you don't know that he prefers bastards?"

"In the palace, the emperor can have many favorite concubines, but the empress only has one." Fan Wei said, "The concubine comes from a famous family, and the family is prominent. Your son, you are the eldest son, and behave properly. As long as you are here, the position of the son must be yours. "

"I'm tired of hearing what you say." Ming Zhan sighed, "Although my mother is kind, my uncle and grandpa have always treated me coldly." No one can really stand firmly on his side.

"You are already the eldest son, not to mention that you have outstanding abilities. If you have too close contact with your mother clan, it is not a good thing." Fan Wei persuaded, "As long as the Yongning Hou Mansion is here, you will be safe. Besides, the eldest son, don't forget , you still have six aunts."

"Yeah, grandpa is really capable of giving birth." Ming Zhan was only momentarily depressed, and of course he understood what Fan Wei meant.The Marquis of Yongning is not an ordinary family. It is as long as the country, and it is flourishing. It has been multiplied for so many years, and there are many clan connections.Ming Zhan's mother's family is different from Cheng Enhou Wei's family. No matter how capable Wei Ning is, he is just one person.

But in the Marquis of Yongning, after more than a hundred years, all kinds of relationships have been entangled, and even Feng Jingnan may not be able to figure it out.

The Marquis of Yongning is not very warm to Ming Zhan, as a direct uncle, it can even be called indifferent, but what Fan Wei said is right, as long as the Marquis of Yongning is alive, the status of Princess Wei and Ming Zhan will be rock-solid .No matter how indifferent the Marquis of Yongning was, he would not want Concubine Wei's son to ascend the throne of King Zhennan.

It has to be said that this is still far from Ming Zhan's expectations.

Ming Zhan sighed, and saw a guard trotting towards the gazebo, before bowing his knees to salute, Ming Zhan said, "Excuse me, what's the matter, tell me?"

"Yes. My son, the prince said that he will enter the palace in the afternoon to pay his respects to the queen mother, and he told you to prepare some, and you should not go out in the afternoon."

"Understood." Ming Zhan took another look at the guard, and felt that the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a Chinese-character face looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly said, "I remembered, you were on duty outside the father's study that day. I gave you a push, didn't I?"

The guard smiled shyly, surprised in his heart, and said naively, "Your Majesty, do you still remember your subordinates? It was your subordinates who offended you."

Ming Zhan waved his hand, "You don't need to say these face-saving words in front of me. It's your duty to offend or offend." Looking at the guard for a while, Ming Zhan asked, "Why are you running errands now? Father punished you for what happened that day?"

"It is true that the subordinate did not do a good job and should be punished."

Ming Zhan sighed, untied a jade pendant from his waist and handed it over, "It's hard work for you to run this trip, I'll reward you, take it."

"Thank you, sir." The guard took it, and when he saw that Ming Zhan had no other orders, he withdrew.

Fan Wei watched the guard leave from a distance, and said softly, "He looks calm and tall, even though he is rejected by the prince, he doesn't look discouraged, it's a bit of a city."

Ming Zhan smiled.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, or the guard has intentions to curry favor, or some other reason... But, this guard has just been relegated by Feng Jingnan, how could he rashly put him by his side?

Therefore, Ming Zhan didn't even ask his name.

He does need people, and he needs capable people...

Let's wait for later.

In the past, when the relationship between Feng Jingnan and Ming Zhan was tense, even if they entered the palace to meet and greet them, they would each go their own way, coming in the morning and in the afternoon, or the two of them were in front of the one and the other in the back.

Now, from the moment the father and son stepped into the entrance of Xuande Hall, Feng Jingqian vaguely felt that something was wrong.

First of all, Feng Jingnan is of course not old, he is in his prime, but Ming Zhan is more vacant and cautious.Of course, this can be explained that Ming Zhan is sensible.

However, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Seeing that Ming Zhan's cheeks were slightly red and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, Feng Jingqian smiled and ordered, "Twist a wet veil for your son."

Ming Zhan added with a smile, "It's cooler, put some ice in it."

Feng Jingnan said, "Don't add ice, even though it's hot, it's not enough. Be careful when it's hot and cold."

Feng Jingqian wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.Look at the tenderness and doting on his younger brother's face!God, what happened!

For a moment, a court lady came to Ming Zhan with a handkerchief in a silver basin, and another court lady twisted the handkerchief with bare hands and was about to serve Ming Zhan. It's because I'm not used to letting women wipe my face.

Feng Jingnan took the cold handkerchief from Ming Zhan's hand first, clasped the back of Ming Zhan's head firmly with one hand, and wiped Ming Zhan's face steadily, until Ming Zhan's heart trembled with fear, and his little heart thumped. , almost irregular heartbeat, goosebumps all over.

Even Feng Jingqian, who claimed to know his brother well, couldn't get back to his senses for a while, and it took 30 seconds to get back to his senses after being astonished.

"Father, my son can't afford it." Ming Zhan stood up and pleaded guilty, roaring in his heart, what the hell are you thinking, I'm going to be made crazy!

Feng Jingnan smiled softly, and La Mingzhan sat beside him, saying dotingly, "Okay, why are you being polite to me. When I hugged you when you were young, eight out of ten times you peed all over your body, why did that happen?" Be less polite to me."

Ming Zhan smiled, "I was all excited." Actually, he did it on purpose. He didn't like Feng Jingnan when he was a child. When Feng Jingnan hugged him occasionally, he had to give Fengjing a little boy's urine. Nan made a meeting ceremony, and sometimes he really didn't want to urinate, so he had to give up if he couldn't hold it in.

At that time, because of Ming Zhan's random urination, Feng Jingnan's teeth were itching with hatred, and he felt that Ming Zhan was born to be against him.Now that the old story was brought up again, Feng Jingnan smiled knowingly, seeing Ming Zhan's face was troubled, so he stopped mentioning it, and talked about the arrangement to return to Yunnan.

"Alright, before it's too hot." Feng Jing said dryly, "Ming Zhan, you go to pay your respects to the Queen Mother first. The Queen Mother hasn't seen you for a long time, and she often misses you."

Ming Zhan knew that this was to distract him, even though Feng Jing's words were very fake, he had no choice but to go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

Feng Jing said, "Salt class is not a trivial matter. It's Ming Zhan's first job as an errand. You send some competent people to help him."

"Brother Huang, you can rest assured." Feng Jingnan smiled, "You don't know him yet, and you've always had big ideas. Instead of worrying about him, it's better to let him do it. As long as his safety is guaranteed, it's fine. Worrying."

Feng Jingqian only pointed it out briefly, he didn't want to interfere too much in Yunnan's internal affairs, otherwise the brothers would have a rift, and the gain would not be worth the loss. He joked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are much closer than before."

"Hmph." Feng Jingnan pretended to be tired, and said angrily, "I just want to see him go back to Yunnan to host the salt class. I'm afraid there will be twists and turns, and it's not good to be seen by outsiders. But that bastard, I don't know what to do in my heart. What's the idea?"

Feng Jingqian really made his brother laugh, "Jingnan, your prejudice against Ming Zhan has passed. In my opinion, you seldom take care of him like this. Ming Zhan is quite at a loss."

Feng Jingnan said, "Back then, the late Emperor was kind and pleasant to us, who was not sincere and fearful, but now that the world is getting worse, I have to guess my son's heart."

Feng Jing smiled dryly, picked up a cup of tea, before drinking, said lightly, "The late emperor also guessed your and my heart back then, it's not surprising."

Seeing Fengjing Nanshu's silence, Fengjing sipped his tea and said, "Ming Zhan treats people sincerely, don't always treat him harshly."

Feng Jingnan raised his eyes to look at his elder brother, although he didn't speak, his eyes didn't agree with what Feng Jingqian said, isn't he tolerant enough to Ming Zhan?There is hardly a more magnanimous father in the world than him!

Feng Jingnan has four sons and four daughters, and the rest of the children are not as difficult to deal with as Ming Zhan!Those hearts that are working on Ming Zhan...

In fact, this is Feng Jingnan's prejudice. If he knew the conversation between Ming Fei and Ming Yi at this time, he would understand. Although it is difficult to understand, fortunately, he is a smart person, and he can't get away with things.Putting it on others, such as Mingyi and Mingfei brothers and sisters who are not smart enough but pretend to be smart, the consequences really need a little imagination.

Ming Fei sent the maid out, and ordered Bai Zhi, the eldest maid bestowed by her mother, to guard the door outside so that she could talk to Ming Yi.

"I heard that the father intends to let the second brother return to Yunnan?" Ming Fei asked straightforwardly.

Mingyi got the job of summer silver, although he worked with Ming Zhan, it is enough to show that his father did not abandon him. Now Mingyi has a bit of a bitter summer and lost weight, but he is in good spirits. People can be disobedient."

"Second brother, don't be so naive," Ming Fei sneered, "If you stay in the imperial capital, you can still compete. If you go back to Yunnan, who can compete with Ming Zhan?" Fei asked quietly, "If the eldest brother can compete, he will not lose his position as the eldest son? Second brother, you don't think that the king ordered you to work with Ming Zhan because he valued you? People restrain him, the second brother is just a marionette in the hands of the father."

Rao had a close relationship with Ming Fei since he was a child, and Ming Yi felt a chill on his face when he heard this. The most important thing for a man is face, Ming Yi sneered, "My sister is right to say that. Father The universe is arbitrary, everyone must follow the wishes of the father, according to the younger sister, everyone is a marionette. The younger sister has always been talented, and the father favored you before, but because you disobeyed the son before, now the father Would you like to take a look at you?"

"Why did my father get mad at me? Others don't know. Could it be that my sister doesn't know?" Mingyi sneered. A lot of ridicule. Forget it, I didn't expect my sister to accept my love, so since my sister is fine, I will leave first."

Ming Yi got up to leave, but Ming Fei hurriedly stopped her and sighed, "Second brother, although what I said is not pleasant, I am the only one in the whole house to tell it to him. Second brother, we are brothers and sisters, we have been together since childhood. I grew up at the office, this time the second brother suffered for me, how could I not know that the second brother is in trouble because of me. Because of this, I can't watch the second brother put himself in danger!" The words came Finally, quite eagerly, Ming Fei said, "Could it be that the second brother doesn't even believe what his own sister says."

Ming Fei accepted Ruan'er, Ming Yi sat back again, and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't believe you, Fei'er, you have to understand that the weight of the two of us in the heart of my father is not as important as that of Ming Yi. Zhan's. He is already the prince, we can't force him to go."

"Because of this, the second brother can't go back to Yunnan." Ming Feisheng is beautiful, and even with a serious face, he is very eye-catching, "Second brother, the father Wang Zilai's favorite is the eldest brother, we all know that. This time Ming Zhan was the first to mention the summer silver, but the father asked you to do it together with him. Isn’t it a share of his achievements? Besides, why did he give money to people? It’s not to buy people’s hearts. Wouldn't it offend him greatly?"

These words pierced Ming Yi's heart, and Ming Yi's face changed slightly. Ming Fei got the bottom line in his heart, and continued to say, "Although Ming Zhan was in the imperial capital for five years, he spent most of his time in the palace. Second brother has been here all the time." Living in the mansion, the second brother is better than him in terms of familiarity with the mansion. I think the second brother must have cultivated a few confidantes over the years."

"Let me make an analogy. Once the second brother returns to Yunnan, if Ming Zhan finds a way to prevent the second brother from coming back, he will stay in the imperial capital forever. What's more, the father has already handed over the property of the imperial capital to him. He has a lot of money." Time to sort out the servants in this mansion. Besides, which of these servants is not the same as the red top and white, most of them come to join Ming Zhan. When the second brother returns to the imperial capital, how many people are still available in this mansion? Ming Fei said, "Besides, he is not a fool. This time, with his father watching him, he can tolerate the second brother. When he returns to Yunnan to rectify the salt class, I don't know how many people he will offend. Even if the father lets the second brother join him Son, I don't know if he will use the second brother as a scapegoat?"

"I know that this kind of dispute is inevitable everywhere, but can the second brother win him?" Ming Fei's half-closed phoenix eyes were full of resentment, "What are the backgrounds of those boys around him? His father is the king's confidant! Even for his own son's future, he has to speak for Ming Zhan!"

"By that time, wouldn't the second brother have to be mermaid!"

"Second brother, do you want to put aside five years of hard work in the imperial capital and go back to Yunnan to balance Ming Zhan for the father?" Ming Fei said softly, "Second brother also said that Ming Zhan is the eldest son, and he will be the king of Zhennan in the future. Now the second brother is the father. Even if Ming Zhan understands righteousness, what about the future? Can he resent his father when he recalls the current events? How will the second elder brother deal with himself at the time of introduction?"

"Who can keep the second brother?"

Mingyi broke out in a cold sweat. Mingfei looked at Mingyi coldly, and said word by word, "We are brothers and sisters, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, plus me, and we will spend the rest of our lives in the imperial capital. And Mingyan and Mingya, although they are close to Youzhan, they are daughters after all. Don't forget, the second brother, the original intention of the father and king to let Mingzhan go to the imperial capital was just a change of feng shui, but now it is our brother and sister's turn to be hostage in the imperial capital .”

"Second brother manages well in the imperial capital. In the future, we brothers and sisters will all count on second brother. Why bother to go back to Yunnan to do some thankless errands."

"You say so much, but who can change the father's mind?"

Ming Fei smiled mysteriously, "The second elder brother made plans for me last time, now it's my turn to help the second elder brother. The second elder brother just pretends that he doesn't know about this matter. When it comes time, I have my own way to make the second elder brother stay."
