"My lady, if you want to think this way, I can't help you." Fu Ciyi's voice was unusually clear and pleasant. "Are your legs still numb?"
"Much better."
Yan Funing glared at him and got out of his arms.
The couple got out of the car, walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, and entered the cave.
Fu Xi invited his brothers in Nanshan to meet the two masters.
"Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, Princess." Everyone said in unison.
Fu Ciyi raised his hand: "Mind your own business, I will bring the princess to see the mountain scenery."
"Yes." Everyone agreed.
Fu Xi placed two lounge chairs and a coffee table at the other exit of the cave and invited the two masters to come over and have a look.
"There's not much food in the cave. The snacks we have are from the New Year holidays. I hope Your Highness and Princess will not mind."
After all, it was eaten by these secret guards, so it was really not presentable.
But when the master arrived, I had nothing else to offer him, so I had no choice but to take these out.
"Very good." Yan Funing smiled with her eyebrows curved.
On the coffee table in front of me were a plate of red dates, a plate of peanuts, a plate of melon seeds, and two cups of tea.
He picked up a red date and put it in his mouth, then looked around.
"The scenery here is beautiful, and the spring flowers are in full bloom. It's really beautiful."
The depressed mood he had just had in the palace felt much better, and he immediately sat down on the recliner.
Hearing this, Fu Xi smiled and said, "As long as the princess likes it."
Fu Ciyi moved his fingers, signaling Fu Xi to go and get busy. He sat down on another recliner, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Yan Funing peeled the peanuts, ate one herself, and fed the other to him.
"I've been to Nanshan a few times, mostly staying inside the caves before. The only time I came to soak in the hot springs was when I walked from this exit to the hot spring pool at night. I didn't even notice there was a small platform here."
The small platform is actually not small, it is as big as two rooms.
But compared to the surrounding mountains, it is small.
There are several pots of flowers, a few small fruit trees, and several pots of vegetables planted around the platform.
Looking out into the distance, under the sunlight, the mountain scenery is charming, lush and green, and beautiful beyond words.
Fu Ciyi asked her, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Yan Funing raised her chin with a smile, pointing at the various leafy vegetables. "It has a very down-to-earth feel. It reminds me of when we were in Baozhuang Village."
"They grow their own food. When they don't normally go out to buy food, they go into the mountains to hunt and eat the food they grow themselves."
"I think so," she said, and continued to peel peanuts.
Fu Ciyi's slender fingers took the peanuts from her fingertips: "Don't peel them, I'll peel them for you to eat."
"Hurrah."
She held her chin with one hand and looked at him, while with the other hand she picked up a red date and ate it, then fed him another one.
Fu Ciyi opened his mouth and ate: "Let's walk around in the mountains and see the scenery. But you'd better sit down and rest today."
"Um."
In just a short while, he peeled a lot of peanuts for her.
Inside the cave, Fu Xi was scolding people: "Is there nothing else to eat?"
"Really? We didn't expect His Highness to bring the princess here." said one of the secret guards.
"We must always keep some candied fruits or something so the princess can enjoy them when she comes over."
“The fruit will go bad.”
"Then we'll have candied fruit. Candied fruit is easy to store. We'll also have to buy some fruit. Our people will eat it themselves. Isn't the usual reward from His Highness and the Princess not enough?"
"Yes, yes, Leader Xi is absolutely right." Everyone responded.
Considering the dinner, Fu Ciyi sat with Yan Funing for more than half an hour before setting off to return to the palace.
On this side, the couple got into the carriage.
On the other side, the tea party in the Imperial Garden was over, and the Emperor and Empress called Fu Nanyao over.
The three of them sat down in the imperial study, and Qiao Wanyou spoke up, "Nan Yao, your father wants to know what you think of meeting the Crown Prince of a neighboring country?"
The Princess of the Shi family was there in the morning, so it was inconvenient to ask.
At this moment, there are only three of them in the family, so they have to ask what needs to be asked.
In fact, she wanted to ask her daughter privately, but Long Yi had a request, so she had to ask first.
Fu Nanyao lowered her eyes slightly, her voice soft and shy, "Prince Sheng is a man of outstanding character and appearance, a very good person."
Long Yi said "hmm".
Qiao Wanyou frowned, seeing her daughter's appearance at this moment, she was completely shy, and even a thin layer of red appeared on her face.
Doesn’t Nan Yao have deep feelings for Ali?
However, what she saw made her confused.
As a mother, she couldn't even tell what kind of husband her daughter wanted.
"If the other party insists on marrying the legitimate princess, are you willing to go to Beiqi?" Long Yi asked.
Fu Nanyao stood up and bowed: "Father, as the legitimate princess of Dajing, I am well aware of the mission I bear. As long as it is beneficial to Dajing, I am willing to do anything."
"Very good." Long Yi nodded with satisfaction, "This is what a good daughter of mine should be!"
Qiao Wanyou sighed inwardly, but it was not convenient to say anything in the current situation.
At this moment, a slightly shrill voice came from the outer room: "Father, I like Crown Prince Sheng very much. Could you please help me talk to him and let him go for a walk and have a conversation?"
As long as the emperor gives the order, Prince Sheng will definitely give face.
Long Jiaying walked and talked, and only when she entered the imperial study did she realize that Qiao Wanyou and Fu Nanyao were also there. She then bowed, "Greetings to the Emperor, Father, and the Empress Dowager." She stood up and said with a smile, "So, Fifth Sister is here too."
"I can't help you."
"Father, my fifth sister doesn't want to marry, but I do."
"Don't let the people of Beiqi hear about your vying for the marriage. It's embarrassing." Long Yi said in a deep voice.
"Father?" Long Jiaying's lips curled up, and she said aggrievedly, "No one wants to go, but I am willing to go. This way, I can help you share your worries. Why do you say that to me?"
Today, when Crown Prince Sheng entered the palace, many people took a fancy to him.
If she didn't express it quickly, she might be snatched away by someone else.
Long Yi took the memorial that he hadn't finished reviewing today and said, "I have to get busy."
"I'll take my leave."
Qiao Wanyou immediately stood up and took Fu Nanyao away.
Away from the Imperial Study, Fu Nanyao said anxiously, "Mother, Long Jiaying is still in the Imperial Study. Will Father give her the mission of marrying into the Imperial Court?"
Hearing this, Qiao Wanyou stopped, looked around, and seeing that no one was approaching, she asked in a low voice, "Have you thought about Ali?"
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Qiao Wanyou was annoyed and grabbed her daughter's arm: "Go to the palace and explain it in detail for me."
"Mother, what did you say in detail?" Fu Nanyao pretended not to know.
Arriving at her own palace, Qiao Wanyou ordered Nanny Li to guard outside while she scolded her daughter, "Do you think you are a princess who is high and mighty, and that Ali is no longer worthy of you?"
"Mother, I've been thinking a lot today. Even if I don't go to marry Ali, I'll be laughed at in the future."
She was the dignified Princess Dajing, but she liked a poor boy who had nothing.
Not only will he be laughed at by the royal family, but he will also be ridiculed by people all over the world.
"Sure enough." Qiao Wanyou shook her head.
Fu Nanyao grabbed her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "Based on my brother's talent, he will definitely be the crown prince in the future, and my sister-in-law will be the crown princess. Mother, my sister-in-law and I are both from Baozhuang Village. What my sister-in-law can get, I also want."
