homecoming

Just after midnight, except for some flower streets and willow alleys that only start to become lively at night, the entire Cotton Brocade City is asleep in the night.

After a hearty "vigorous exercise", Feng Chenying comfortably hugged Tang Fei and fell asleep.

"Knock knock" knocked on the door, Feng Chen Yingxiu opened his eyes.The seemingly gray phoenix eyes released a dim light in the dark night.Tang Fei, who was sleeping in his arms, moved a little unsteadily, hummed twice subconsciously, as if he was about to wake up.Feng Chenying hit Tang Fei's sleeping hole like lightning.Tang Fei tilted his head and fell into a coma.Feng Chenying settled Tang Fei carefully, took a scent from the corner of his lips, and said softly: "I'll be back soon." After saying that, she jumped out of the bed, but walked out of the inner room wearing her coat in an instant.

Feng Chenying opened the door, looked at Tie Huan with an unfriendly expression, and said, "What's wrong."

Tie Huan was startled, and looked into Feng Chenying's eyes, can you see it?Putting away the doubts in his heart, Tie Huan said with a look of embarrassment: "Master, the virtuous king is here." If the virtuous king did not visit suddenly, he would not bother Feng Chenying at this time.

"Qin Yan?" Feng Chenying was taken aback, "What is he doing here at this time?"

"The subordinates don't know, but the prince is drunk, and he is in the front hall. I heard from the servants from the palace that there was a lot of trouble along the way, arguing to see you. The servants of the palace had no choice but to They are coming to us." Tie Huan knew it must be because of the trial of the crown prince this morning, to be honest, Qin Yan's loss this time was too embarrassing!

A trace of impatience flashed across Feng Chenying's face, but she still held back her anger and said, "Don't let anyone come near here, I'll go and have a look." After finishing speaking, Feng Chenying left wearing the soft shoes she wore in the bedroom.He received a secret report on the matter of Luan He Dian when Tang Fei fell asleep first.Although he was surprised by Qin Yi's trump card, he never thought that Qin Yan could not afford to lose, and he was so drunk in the middle of the night that he went crazy!

Tie Huan found a few dark guards with strong martial arts skills to hide in the hidden corner of the bedroom to protect Tang Fei.After making arrangements, Tie Huan also hurried to the front hall.

In the hall, the drunk Qin Yan was grabbing a servant of Fengxi Pavilion, and shouted angrily: "You don't understand what I'm saying! This king wants to drink! Bring me wine! Wine!" After speaking, he pushed the servant away fiercely, and he himself staggered a few steps backwards, if someone hadn't stepped forward to help him, he would have fallen into a big fall.It's a pity that after being drunk, Qin Yan not only lost the elegance and bearing of being a "virtuous king", but also acted like an unreasonable three-year-old child, beating and cursing at those who supported him, and kept yelling He wants to drink and see Feng Chenying.

"Master! Thank God, you are finally here!" Several of His Excellency Feng Qi, who were awakened by Qin Yan, saw Feng Chenying as if they had seen a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said, "Master, take a look." Lord! If you drink any more, I'm afraid something will happen!"

Feng Chenying frowned and looked at Qin Yan, who was in a drunken frenzy, it was no longer a matter of losing her composure, but that Qin Yan would lose the face of the entire Xianwang Mansion if she continued to make such a fuss!Step forward in two steps in three steps, push away those panic-stricken servants, and then imprison Qin Yan in his arms.Qin Yan felt Feng Chenying's breath, happily hugged his neck, cried and laughed, and kept talking nonsense.

Feng Chenying looked at the ugly Qin Yan with a gloomy expression, then looked at the servants in the hall and said in a low voice, "If anyone dares to speak out about what happened tonight, I will definitely let him die without a place to bury him!"

"Yes! I understand!" There were a total of twelve people in the hall, including the servants of Prince Xian's mansion, all knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied.

Qin Yan in her arms kept shaking and screaming, Feng Chenying resisted the urge to knock him out, dragged his arm and walked inside.Tie Huan thought for a while, but instead of following, he stayed behind and gave the twelve servants a strong dose of medicine to shut them up completely.

Drag Qin Yan to the well in the front hall and backyard, regardless of Qin Yan still hugging his neck and calling "Chen Ying", Feng Chenying pushed Qin Yan away, and then poured a bucket of well water without any hesitation. Pour it on his head mercilessly!

"Ah!" The well water in spring is not as cold as in winter, but it can also make people's heart and lungs cold.Qin Yan was poured from head to toe by such a bucket of cold water, he couldn't help screaming in the cold, and at the same time he was more than half sober.

"Are you awake?" Feng Chenying asked coldly, Qin Yan didn't answer, but still stared blankly at herself, who was dripping wet, and then at Feng Chenying, whose face was covered with frost, with disbelief all over her face.

"Not awake?" Before Qin Yan could react, Feng Chenying poured another bucket of cold water on him.

"Ah!" Qin Yan blocked it subconsciously, then wiped her face and looked at Feng Chenying fiercely, and asked, "What are you doing?!"

"Oh, you should be awake this time." Feng Chenying casually threw the wooden bucket in her hand, and looked at Qin Yan with a half-smile: "If you haven't woken up yet, I don't mind pouring you another bucket."

The water on the forehead fell straight into the eyes along the brow bone, and the cold water hurt Qin Yan's eyes.Qin Yan looked at the no longer gentle Feng Chenying, and smiled sadly, no longer caring about her status, status, or dignity, she fell down on the dirty ground, warm tears streaming down her pale cheeks.

Seeing Qin Yan's miserable appearance, she felt a twinge in her heart, after all, Feng Chenying couldn't bear to let him go.Stepping forward slowly, Feng Chenying took off her outer robe and put it on Qin Yan's body, then gently hugged his trembling body.

Qin Yan leaned against Feng Chenying's chest, the warmth he had been attached to for five years finally made him cry bitterly.

"Chenying! Chenying! I'm not reconciled!" The fragile Qin Yan tightly grasped Feng Chenying's skirt, bursting out all the grievance and humiliation in her heart along with tears. "I'm really not reconciled! Why, why is God on Qin Yi's side! Do you know how embarrassed I am today? I have never lost since I was a child, and I lost to Qin Yi today! I am not reconciled! I don't agree!"

Feng Chenying sighed deeply, patted Qin Yan's shoulder softly, and said softly: "Xiaoyan, it's not that God is on Qin Yi's side. Do you know? You were too eager for quick success this time, and didn't touch It's not your fault, it's Qin Yi who hides too deeply. And we didn't expect that the queen is actually the princess of Langxuan. This time we lost due to too many unforeseen circumstances ,it's not your fault."

"Really?" Qin Yan asked cautiously, "But you objected to me doing this at the beginning. If I had listened to you then, I wouldn't be today..."

"It's okay, Xiaoyan, it's really okay." Feng Chenying comforted patiently, "Although we lost this round, we didn't gain anything. At least we finally grasped Qin Yi's trump card now, didn't we? Don't worry, we have seen through Qin Yi, but he doesn't know anything about my Fengxi Pavilion. So, Xiaoyan, from now on, we will not lose."

Qin Yan looked at Feng Chenying obsessively, her tears gradually stopped, and there was still a trace of joyful smile on her face.Yes, he still has Chen Ying, Chen Ying will help him, and she will never leave her!

Feng Chenying looked down at the embarrassed Qin Yi, and couldn't help laughing: "Look at you, the first time I saw you, you also looked like this little cat with a colorful face, now you are married and have children, and you are still with a young girl Like a crybaby." Remembering the first time they met, Feng Chenying's eyes became softer, and she reached out to gently wipe away the tears from Qin Yan's face.

"Chen Ying..." Qin Yan blushed slightly, her eyes showed deep love, and her ruddy lips slowly approached Feng Chen Ying's irresistibly.

Feng Chenying's eyes were dim, she avoided Qin Yan without a trace, then tightened her coat tightly around him, and said softly: "Okay, you've been making trouble tonight, if you don't go back, you will attract the attention of those spies. You can't spend the night in Fengxi Pavilion tonight, and if you are seen by people tomorrow morning, you will inevitably be blamed." As he spoke, without waiting for Qin Yan to speak, he supported Qin Yan slightly with his elbows and helped him up.

The kiss was rejected, Qin Yan felt a little disappointed, but still smiled lightly.Then I noticed that Feng Chenying's eyes seemed much brighter than before.

"Chen Ying, can you see it?!" Qin Yan's voice was full of surprise.

"Yeah." Feng Chenying admitted without thinking, "But I can't see things very clearly. I guess I can see them completely after the poison is cleaned up in two days." In fact, when he and Tang Fei were in the garden, they found themselves I could see the light, and then when I rolled the sheets with Tang Fei in my arms, I found that I could see the blurry outline.

"Great! Doctor Gu Yang's medical skills are really good!" Qin Yan did not hide her joy, "I thought it would take some time to recover."

"Yeah, I'm also surprised that I recovered so quickly." Feng Chenying smiled, but there was no joy in her eyes, but a faint irritability.He didn't expect to recover so quickly, it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.

Qin Yan wanted to say something, but she sneezed loudly.

Feng Chenying frowned slightly, walked out with her arms around Qin Yan's shoulders, and said: "Hurry up and go back, and let the cook make you a bowl of ginger soup when you get back."

Qin Yan sniffed, and said in a low voice, "Who told you to pour two buckets of well water on my face so cruelly, does my heart ache?"

"Yes, yes, I regret it." Feng Chenying said helplessly following Qin Yan's words, "So hurry up and go back, if I catch a cold, I will feel guilty."

"Heh." After listening to Feng Chenying's words, Qin Yan's sourness and bitterness and all kinds of grievances and unwillingness disappeared without a trace, leaving only Youyou's sweetness.

After sending Qin Yan away, Feng Chenying called Tie Huan into the study of Yuanfei Academy.

"Do you still remember Qin Yi losing the sword bestowed by the late emperor last year?" Feng Chenying said lightly.

Tie Huan thought for a while, and then said: "I remember, it was the young master who helped the prince at that time, and asked for the sword back from the rich Langxuan merchant."

"Langxuan rich businessman?" Feng Chenying smiled, full of sarcasm, "Hmph, Fu Ziru can let go of this airs because of this cousin!"

"What?! That rich businessman is the emperor of Langxuan?!" Tie Huan was startled, remembering that the rich businessman he found at that time was indeed surnamed Fu, but they never thought that "Fu" was the national surname of Langxuan. Not to mention that the new emperor of Langxuan would come to Huangye himself from a thousand miles away!

"That's right, there is also Fu Ziru's queen, who is Chunyujue's sister." Feng Chenying sneered, "This Qin Yi is really lucky, not only is he a cousin of Emperor Langxuan, but his lover is also the prince of Langxuan. uncle."

Tie Huan asked worriedly: "Master, then we—"

Feng Chenying interrupted Tie Huan with a wave of her hand, and smiled conceitedly: "Even if Langxuan supports Qin Yi, so what? The thing in my hand is that Qin Yeming will kneel down respectfully to me when he sees it. For Qin Yi How difficult is it for Yan to get a mere throne?"

Tie Huan didn't speak any more, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.He hoped that he would not take out that thing unless it was absolutely necessary, and it would be best if it never saw the light of day.Moreover, the master should already know that the young master took that thing away, right?But in the past six years, why has there been no movement at all?Dad, he must be mad at himself, right?

Although the truth of the assassination of King Xian and King Fu has not been revealed, the suspicion of the Prince's Mansion has finally been cleared.As soon as the court ended yesterday morning, the emperor ordered the imperial guards to evacuate the prince's mansion.The common people talked about this incident with great enthusiasm, and they all speculated who sent people to assassinate King Xian and King Fu, and framed the prince by the way.Some people said that the remnants of Cheng Wang were probably causing trouble, and they wanted to get rid of several princes at once.Some people said that it was an assassin sent by the enemy country to deliberately come to Huang Ye to create chaos and let Huang Ye's royal family kill each other.A few people also said that those assassins were actually sent by the prince. After the prince's incident was exposed, he specially called Langxuan as a big backer, saying that he was clearing the suspicion for himself, but who knew what was tricky in it?However, no one dared to say this publicly, and they were all discussing it in private.

Qin Yi heard all these voices in his ears, and finally smiled nonchalantly, turned around and continued to tease the kitten Chunyu Jue who loves to explode.

Chunyu Jue couldn't bear his lazy look of not caring about anything the most, so he gave him a slap in the face, turned around and left.

The thick-skinned Qin Yi would always chase after him with a smile on his face, exerting his winding skills to the extreme and devouring other people's tender tofu.When they were having fun, the empress came down with an order to let the two of them enter the palace. Qin Yi was taken aback, thinking that something was going to happen after all.That's all, let's make it clear with the queen mother today!

Smiling at Wen Wen, the servant who came to deliver the decree, and asked him to wait, Qin Yi took Chunyu Jue to change clothes and entered the palace.

Queen's bedroom - Huangming Palace.

Qi, no, it should be Princess Xinning, personally made tea for the two juniors, smiled lightly, and said, "Let's drink tea."

"Queen, do you want to shorten the lives of your son and Xiao Jue?" Qin Yi smiled wryly and blocked Princess Xinning's hand from serving the tea. He took the tea and handed it to Chun Yu Jue before taking his own cup.Alas, the queen mother has put on such an appearance. If I don't take a tougher attitude today, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this test.

"Why, as a mother, I just want to pour a cup of tea for my son, why not?" Princess Xinning looked at Qin Yi with a smile, her eyes were full of love and doting.

"Of course not." Qin Yi continued to smile bitterly, "It's just that if I drink this cup of tea today, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get away."

Princess Xinning's smile froze, and then she smiled again, ignoring her excellent son who was never able to see through, and turned to look at Chunyu Jue, holding his hand affectionately, and lovingly said: "Xiao Jue, for Yi'er, you have worked hard these days. Look, you have lost a lot of weight after running around."

Chunyu Jue stiffly squeezed out a smiling face that was uglier than crying—he never liked to smile, and he didn't know how to smile, so he forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but actually going to Langxuan Not far away, my sister sent someone to pick us up early in the morning. These days, it is Qin Yi who suffers." Alas, can he not get involved in the matter of the two mothers and sons?

drink!Qin Yi's face was filled with astonishment and surprise, not only did he hear such a long series of words from Chunyu Jue for the first time, but it was also the first time he heard Chunyu Jue say words of concern for him!

Taking a panoramic view of Qin Yi's expression, Princess Xinning suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and continued to say to Chunyu Jue affectionately: "Speaking of your sister, she has been married to Zi Ru for so long and I haven't seen her yet. Look I have to find some time to go back to Langxuan to have a look, I haven’t been back for more than [-] years, so I don’t know if there are big changes there.”

Seeing the sadness in Princess Xinning's eyes, Chunyu Jue hurriedly said: "Langxuan has not changed much, it is still as beautiful and prosperous as before, and the folk customs are simple and the road is simple. Brother-in-law is indeed a good emperor."

"That's right, Zi Ru's child has been excellent and obedient since he was a child. He also married such a good wife as your sister. In a few years, he must be able to hold the child?" Princess Xinning said with satisfaction and envy , and then as if thinking of something, he asked again: "Xiao Jue is sixteen this year, right? She's not young anymore, is there a girl she likes? Shall I help you make a decision?"

Chunyu Jue was startled, blushing and just about to speak, Qin Yi at the side took Chun Yujue's hand back from Princess Xinning's, and said helplessly to his mother, "Queen, if you have anything to say, just talk to your son directly." The minister said, don't use Xiao Jue to hint at me, let alone Xiao Jue is only 16 years old, where did he get the girl he likes?!"

Chunyu Jue turned his head in embarrassment, expressing his agreement with Qin Yi's words.There were many girls who showed affection to him, but he didn't like any of them.In his eyes, those flamboyant, shy, gorgeous, elegant and virtuous women are not as pleasing to Qin Yi's eyes!

Now that Qin Yi had spoken, Princess Xinning stopped pretending and said straight to the point: "My mother thinks you should have learned a lesson from this incident. The reason why Qin Yan can get the support of most of the generals is because Because he married Zhen Rong's daughter, he has a strong backer behind him. Therefore, the queen mother helped you find a candidate, and this person has something to do with us, that is Zi Ru's cousin, Princess Zhao'er. She is not only Zi Ru Ru's cousin, whose father is also the Grand Marshal of Langxuan, who controls half of Langxuan's military power. She is sixteen this year, and she is just right for you. And if you marry her, you will have enough strength to compete with Qin Yan .”

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chunyu Jue who had a sullen and handsome face, and said with a smile: "Mother, I don't want to be a concubine."

"What? Do you think it's too early?" Princess Xinning asked, and before Qin Yi could reply, she said, "It's getting late, you're almost 25. And you haven't even accepted a concubine room yet. This time You can't refuse, the queen mother is old and wants to hold a grandson. If you are really filial, you will accept Princess Zhao'er as your concubine. At this time next year, the queen mother will be able to hold a grandson."

"Queen Mother, what I mean is not that I don't think it's time, but that I won't accept a concubine even if the time comes. No, it should be said that I won't have any women in my life." Qin Yi ignored Princess Xinning With a face that suddenly turned black, he said without hesitation.

"What did you say?!" Princess Xinning slapped the table angrily, and said sharply, "Do you really want to hold a man for the rest of your life?! Yi'er, no matter how you used to play with your mother, from today onwards, you must Listen to your mother!"

Qin Yi took a sip of tea indifferently, and said leisurely: "Mother, you know my children best. From childhood to adulthood, even the emperor's grandfather has been against me, let alone the mother?" After finishing speaking, Qin Yi looked Looking at Qin Yi, the previous indifference disappeared from his face, but he said solemnly and seriously: "No matter what you think, I only want this person in this life. I don't want anything else." Qin Yi said After finishing, he grabbed Chunyu Jue's hand tightly, not giving him any chance to flinch.In fact, Chunyu Jue, who was already stunned, never thought of withdrawing his hand at all.His face was flushed and he lowered his head, flustered and bewildered.In the past, Qin Yi loved to tease him, make fun of him, and even touch him, but he had never confessed his love so seriously like today.So Chunyu Jue always thought that Qin Yi was just joking and never took his intentions seriously.But today, Qin Yi's affectionate and sincere confession, and it was still in front of his mother, finally made Chunyu Jue panic for the first time.

"Nonsense!" Princess Xinning couldn't suppress her anger anymore, she slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Qin Yi and scolded: "Even if you think about it this way, do you think Xiao Jue will agree? And Zi Ru and Xiao Jue's sister, will they agree to your ridiculous request?"

"This is not a request." Qin Yi also stood up and looked at Princess Xinning, but still did not let go of Chunyu Jue's hand, "I, Qin Yi, never ask for help when I do things. What's more, I love Xiao Jue, so why do I need other people's approval?" ? As long as I love him."

"Ridiculous!" Princess Xinning showed no sign of weakness, "I will tell you today, if you don't marry Princess Zhao'er, you will stop calling me queen mother!"

"Mother." Qin Yi looked at her calmly and said, "If I want this world, I can get it without relying on other people's influence. I have this ability, and you know it very well. In short, if I want this world, I must I will honor my mother until I grow old, and Xiao Jue, I will definitely live up to it!"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Qin Yi's mouth outlines a proud and confident arc, and his eyes are full of arrogant arrogance, faintly carrying the air of a king who swallows the world.

Princess Xinning was startled, looking at her strange yet familiar biological son, she couldn't help but slumped down on the chair.Maybe, in her life, she couldn't understand what her child was thinking?If she really forces him to marry a woman she doesn't love, and her son is unhappy, what if she sees her son gaining the world?What she wants is for her son to live a happier life than herself, and to find someone who can love and stay with him and be with him for the rest of his life.

"That's all, pretend you haven't heard what the queen mother said today." Princess Xinning waved her hand wearily, "In short, you must be careful in everything in the future, and don't let this happen again. The queen mother won't care about anything else. gone."

"My son thanked the queen mother!" Qin Yi pulled Chunyu Jue to kneel down in front of Princess Xinning and kowtowed.

"Go on, Xiao Jue is also tired these days, you have to treat others well in the future. Go back and have a good rest." Princess Xinning put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes without looking at them.

"Yes, mother, take care. My son and minister will leave." Qin Yi kowtowed to Princess Xinning again, and dragged Chunyujue who was still saying "I will leave" away.
