As dusk fell, the sky darkened.

In Fengdu City in the last month, the winter wind was howling, and snowflakes were falling from the sky. There were not many pedestrians walking on the street. The carriage hurriedly passed by the street, and the sound of horse hooves went away and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of a courtyard, and the man inside got off and walked inside. The red door opened and closed, and the guards driving the carriage also left.

In the house, the food on the table was still there, and the person sitting at the table was holding chopsticks in his hand, sitting there blankly without moving. The bowl was clean and the food on the table seemed to have not been touched. When Feng Lingxiao came in, he saw the person sitting there. His eyes darkened and he walked inside.

The servant beside him gave a few words of advice and stood there with a bitter face.

"Master." Ershun bowed his head and called respectfully.

Hearing the voice, Fang Ziye raised his head and saw the person coming. The corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously and he smiled. He himself might not know how ugly his smile was.

"The dishes are cold, why don't you eat properly?" Feng Lingxiao looked at the cold dishes on the table, which had hardly been touched. He looked at the person in front of him with calm eyes and asked.

Fang Ziye did not answer.

Seeing that the person did not say anything, Feng Lingxiao had to ask someone to come into the room to remove all the dishes on the table and replace them with a new batch. The servant who entered the room silently cleared the cold dishes on the table, quickly replaced them with a fresh set, and then quietly left.

No one was left in the room to serve them, just the two of them.

"Eat, or it will get cold again." Feng Lingxiao picked up the chopsticks with a wooden face, picked up a piece of fish from the plate on the table, and put it into the bowl opposite with a clumsy expression.

Although the food on the table was not delicacies from land and sea, it was all exquisite.

Seeing the extra fish in the bowl, Fang Ziye raised his eyes and saw that the person sitting next to him had a harder face and lost a lot of weight after this trip. He knew that this trip was not an easy one and that he must have suffered a lot while away.

Although after so many years, he also knew how difficult it was for Feng Lingxiao, he still felt sorry for him.

"Hmm." He picked up the meat in the bowl with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The taste was much better than when he ate alone. Fang Ziye also put a piece of meat into Feng Lingxiao's bowl and said, "You eat too."

In the past, the dishes were all made according to his taste. Today, knowing that this person was back, he asked the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes according to Feng Lingxiao's taste. Therefore, this braised pork was one of his favorite dishes in the past.

Large chunks of braised pork, fat but not greasy, is the signature dish of Yipinzhai.

Fang Ziye has been waiting for Feng Lingxiao to come since he came back from outside today. He waited until it was dark before he finally came.

Today is the Little New Year, and the families in Fengdu will sit together to eat. Speaking of which, for so many years, he has spent most of the holidays alone. He might be with Feng Lingxiao by chance, but this possibility is rare. Knowing that Feng Lingxiao has returned today, he also hopes that this person can eat with him so that he can have someone to keep him company.

The two of them sat together quietly and ate. Probably because of Feng Lingxiao's arrival, he also had an appetite. Fang Ziye's chopsticks kept going to the dishes on the table, and with a sullen face, he picked up the food into Feng Lingxiao's bowl.

Looking at the dishes that kept coming to his bowl, Feng Lingxiao ate without frowning, until his stomach was so full that he couldn't eat any more. Seeing that the people sitting around him were full and waiting to look at him, his bowl was still full of dishes.

Feng Lingxiao turned his head and happened to meet a pair of eyes staring at him. When their eyes met, Fang Ziye also looked at him quietly, waiting for him to eat the dishes in his bowl before giving him more, as if he wanted to put all the dishes on the table into his bowl and let him finish it.

"Ziye." Feng Lingxiao put down the chopsticks in his hand. He really couldn't fit so much food in his stomach. If he hadn't eaten in the mansion before coming, he could easily eat half of the food on the table.

Facing a pair of red eyes, Feng Lingxiao felt a little helpless. He knew Fang Ziye knew everything. He was using this method to vent his dissatisfaction, which made him a little at a loss. He didn't know what to do.

Staring stubbornly, Fang Ziye couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He felt angry, wronged, and unwilling. All the emotions were mixed together, and in the end, only wronged remained in his heart. It's

not that he didn't know or understand some things, but he just didn't want to touch them. But he was unhappy in his heart. He was unhappy, and the anger in his heart couldn't go up or down, and he couldn't find a way out.

"I'm wrong. Don't cry. Don't be like this. If you're unhappy, just bite me twice to vent your anger." Seeing the tears rolling down the eyes of the person who was staring at him, Feng Lingxiao's heart panicked. He hugged the person in his arms and comforted him in a clumsy way.

Being hugged in the familiar arms, the tears that he had been holding back suddenly burst out. Fang Ziye knew that he shouldn't be so petty at this time. He knew that doing so would only make this person embarrassed and uncomfortable, and he couldn't change anything.

It was this inability to resist fate that made his life in this small courtyard more and more difficult day by day. The baby in his belly was about to be born, and he was afraid and felt at a loss. He missed his child who was far away in Caojia Village, and he couldn't escape from this person. Deep in his heart, he was reluctant to leave this person.

The person in his arms was crying without making any sound, and was trembling in his arms. Feng Lingxiao's heart was twisted into a ball, and he pinched the face of the person in his arms, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.

Only when the person stopped crying and the tears in his eyes stopped did Feng Lingxiao let him go, looked into his red eyes, raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face with his fingertips.

"I am thick-skinned and not afraid of pain." His Royal Highness the King of Wings pulled up his sleeves, exposing his arm, and said seriously, "You can bite it, it doesn't hurt me." Fang Ziye stared at the arm that was handed to his mouth, raised his eyes and glared at Feng Lingxiao again, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and bit down on his arm.

"!" Fourth Master Feng was stunned, his muscles tensed and relaxed, allowing the man to bite him.

"..." Fang Ziye.

He opened his mouth and stared at the teeth marks he had bitten. He was so angry that Fang Ziye suddenly stood up and wanted to leave. He didn't want to see this man at all. He wanted to go wherever he wanted. It would be best if he didn't come. He could take the baby in his belly to Caojia Village to find his little treasure!

"Be careful." A pair of hands reached out to support him. Seeing Fang Ziye stand up so quickly, Feng Lingxiao's hands moved faster than his brain and reached out to support him, for fear that Fang Ziye would fall so rashly.

"Let go!" Fang Ziye found that he didn't want to see this man at all now. He didn't want to admit that he had just cried in front of Feng Lingxiao, and even he felt ashamed.

Seeing the man staring at him, Feng Lingxiao loosened his hand again. Seeing the man was about to leave, he reached out to hold him back, fearing that he would fall. His eyes naturally fell on Fang Ziye's bulging belly, and his gaze became deeper and deeper.

"..." Noticing Feng Lingxiao's eyes staring at his belly, Fang Ziye blushed with embarrassment and tried to wave away the hand that was supporting him, but he failed this time.

One of them was making a noise, while the other kept silent and let the noise go.

Feng Lingxiao naturally stayed at night. Fang Ziye's body had been damaged by running around and being exposed to wind and rain over the years. He was very afraid of the cold in winter. Now that the house was warm due to the fireplace, it would take him a long time to warm his feet and fall asleep when he was lying on the bed alone. This day was different. There was a natural stove to hold him, and the quilt was warm for him. He fell asleep quickly as soon as he lay down.

The person in his arms fell asleep. Feng Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief when he smelled the regular breathing of the person in his arms. So His Royal Highness Prince Yi naturally didn't know that the "virtuous and generous" princess in his mansion had arranged a beauty to sleep with him tonight.

It seems that Concubine Zhou is also unlucky. She has been in the mansion for almost a year and has not even seen the prince twice. She finally waited for the opportunity to sleep with the prince. She dressed up and happily went to the prince's room to serve him. She was thinking that if she could get pregnant tonight, her status in this palace would be completely different in the future.

"Xixi... It's so cold, why hasn't the prince come back yet?" Concubine Zhou raised her head and looked towards the door frequently, but she didn't expect her prince to come back.

The night of the cold winter month was cold. The fire basin in the house could not keep away the cold. Lady Zhou, who was wearing a thin shirt and makeup to make her face look more charming, sat in the prince's house for half a night, shivering in the cold.

"Dongdongdong... The weather is dry, be careful with the candles... Dongdongdong..." The night watchman was beating the night watch on the street, shouting as he walked.

The candles in the house went out, and Feng Lingxiao, who was tired from being outside for so long, fell asleep with the warm person in his arms. But he woke up at night when the heat in his arms moved. Fang Ziye's leg cramped in the middle of the night, which woke him up in pain.

This was the first time that he woke up in pain at night. Since the baby in his belly was getting bigger, Fang Ziye couldn't sleep well at night or during the day, so his temper became bad.

In the past, when he woke up at night, there was only a loyal servant to serve him. Tonight, with the baby in his belly, Fang Ziye felt wronged. "It hurts..." His voice was filled with grievance.

"Where does it hurt? It hurts here?... Let me massage you. Is it better? Do you want a doctor to come and see you?"

"...No doctor, Feng Lingxiao, please touch me..."

Master Feng Si could only let the person who was crying out in pain touch him without complaint, from his feet up, from his head down, wherever he was asked to touch, until he was so angry that he could only look at himself with a helpless look on his face, and had to suppress his anger.

When had his Fourth Master Feng ever treated him so badly?

Only after he had served the man until he fell asleep comfortably, did Feng Lingxiao lie down and hug him to sleep. Not long after, someone outside knocked on the door again to ask him to get up.

Before dawn, he got up, changed his clothes, and went back to the mansion. The prince, who was tired from handling official business in the "study" and slept in the study all night, came out of the study and went directly to the court.

Concubine Zhou, who had been waiting for their prince in the prince's room all night but did not see him, did not sleep the whole night. Someone knocked on the door outside and told him that the prince's mansion had gone to the morning court and asked him to go back to his own courtyard.

Concubine Zhou went to the bed with a smile and went back with a sullen face.

On the second day, everyone in Prince Yi’s mansion knew that their prince had spent the night in the study. The sent Concubine Zhou could not even see their prince, let alone serve him.

Last night, Concubine Shijun was jealous and covered her mouth with her hands when she saw Concubine Zhou go to the prince’s bedchamber. After that, Concubine Zhou did not leave the yard for several days.

Liang Xijun laughed it off when she knew about it. Knowing that their prince had slept in the study at night, she finally eliminated her doubts. She knew that their prince worked hard and had to take good care of the backyard of the palace. No one could turn the tables in his hands. The Little New Year has passed, and the New Year is coming soon...
