Gongsun Sheng's cold eyes turned towards his younger brother.
"I mean to choose another princess, maybe the Fifth Princess," Gongsun Lei explained. "After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Empress of the Great Jing Emperor, and now she's obsessed with you."
"You marry her."
Gongsun Sheng threw down a few words, flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Gongsun Lei caught up with his brother and said, "Brother, I just came here for fun. Besides, the Fifth Princess has her eyes on you. If it were me, she would never go back to Beiqi with me."
"Let me think about it."
Gongsun Sheng naturally understood what his brother said. He came to Beiqi to find Princess Dajing to restrain her, but now things have changed.
It’s not so much that things have changed, but rather that he has found someone in his heart.
The next morning, when he was still undecided, his attendant came to report that the fifth princess had arrived.
Everyone is here...
"Please come in."
The attendant said yes and immediately took Fu Nanyao to the reception room.
Gongsun Sheng politely invited Fu Nanyao to sit down and have some tea. "What brings the Fifth Princess to visit?"
"I heard that Prince Sheng will be leaving the capital soon after attending Princess Man's wedding." Fu Nanyao took the food box from Liu Lu beside her. "The snacks inside are made by me. I hope Prince Sheng likes them."
Her sister-in-law had taught her how to cook many dishes, and she gradually realized that good cooking skills could win a man's heart.
Of course, she also understood that as a prince of a country, she had tasted all kinds of delicious food.
Now, if she could leave him with the good impression that she would be a good wife and mother, that would be the best thing.
Gongsun Sheng glanced at him calmly, his voice also calm: "Thank you."
Fu Nanyao smiled slightly and asked about the scenery of Beiqi. Then he said, "I have always longed for the magnificent mountains and rivers. It would be a wonderful thing if I could go to Beiqi and see it with my own eyes."
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the hall: "The Fifth Princess might as well marry my brother, the Crown Prince. The scenery along the way will be quite nice."
"This..." Fu Nanyao blushed.
Gongsun Lei stepped over the threshold.
Since my brother agreed to let the other party come in and talked to him patiently, it was obvious that he listened to my suggestion last night.
Since his brother was not in a position to speak directly at the moment, it was most appropriate for him to help speak.
After hearing his brother's words, Gongsun Sheng's voice darkened. "I have already mentioned Second Miss Yan to Emperor Dajing. Now if I tell the Fifth Princess..."
It was not further explained, nor was it stated explicitly.
Upon hearing this, Fu Nanyao was delighted.
Gongsun Lei sat down immediately. "The Fifth Princess is very perceptive, so she naturally understands the whole story. Besides, my brother came to Dajing specifically for the Fifth Princess. I would say this is fate for my brother, but my brother's eyesight is poor and he made a mistake."
"you?"
Gongsun Sheng raised his hand and pointed at his brother's forehead, pretending to be angry and speechless.
Seeing the two brothers like this, Fu Nanyao chuckled: "My brother and sister-in-law have a good relationship. They quarrel sometimes, after all, what couple is not like that?"
Gongsun Lei said, "I think Miss Yan is very spoiled. I heard that she cries a lot."
"Yeah." Fu Nanyao nodded and said softly, "She needs to be comforted even if she cries."
"Listen, brother, the Fifth Princess is different. I think she's quite resilient." Gongsun Lei said with a smile, "The women of Beiqi are generally braver. I think the Fifth Princess is no different from the women of Beiqi."
That day, Fu Nanyao had lunch at the inn before returning to the palace.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I went to see my father.
"Father, I still want to marry Crown Prince Sheng."
Long Yi was busy with official business and had no time to chat with his daughter about the marriage. He said directly, "First, he doesn't want to marry you, and second, he's interested in your sister-in-law. If you force yourself to marry him, can you be happy?"
Hearing this, Fu Nanyao was startled: "Father didn't have this attitude before."
"What was my attitude before?"
"Your Majesty Father previously praised me for my willingness to marry a foreign prince, which was a great move."
"I don't know what Prince Sheng was thinking at that time." He had no choice but to say this.
You wouldn't tell your daughter all your thoughts, ideas, and plans, right?
Unfortunately, this daughter's intelligence is not as good as her brothers.
"Father, you objected to my son and Ali being together because of his low status. But now I've fallen for a son-in-law of higher status, one you're happy with. Shouldn't you bring them together?"
"I am the Emperor, but I am also a father. As a father, I naturally wish my daughter happiness." Long Yi said earnestly, "Just think about it. If a man doesn't have you in his heart, even if you become his wife, what will your life be like? Happiness will be slim, and loneliness will be the reality."
If Gongsun Sheng had not asked to marry Fu Ning, as the emperor, he should have agreed to his daughter's request for the sake of long-term planning and to fool the people of Beiqi.
But now that he has the evidence that Gongsun Sheng covets Princess Dajing, he will be less cautious in what he says and does.
"Father..."
Fu Nanyao was suddenly speechless.
"Go back and think about it carefully."
Long Yi was already impatient and waved his hand for her to leave.
--
Half a month passed.
It was a fine and sunny day.
Leng Feng, Jiang He, Hu Hai arrived in Beijing and returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Seeing that they finally came back, almost everyone in the mansion rushed to the main hall.
In the main hall, Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing sat at the top of the table, and the five people below bowed in greeting.
"We are here to greet His Highness and the Princess!"
"No need to be polite." Fu Ciyi raised his hand. "How is it going?"
Leng Feng smiled and reported: "It has been confirmed that Fu Jiang is indeed the grandson of Old Master Fu!"
"I told you." Fu Xi's voice rang out from the crowd behind him. Seeing that many people were looking at him, he lowered his voice, "Fu Jiang, that kid, will be richer than us in the future."
Hearing this, Fu Jiang scratched the back of his head. Even today, he still felt it was so unreal.
Money is one thing, but the main thing is that His Highness has become his cousin.
Of course, he didn't dare to establish this relationship directly, but it was true that he was secretly laughing in his heart.
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Very good, the Fu family's business in Ling County will finally have a successor."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Fu Jiang bowed.
Leng Feng explained: "I came back a little late. It was my own decision. I took Fu Jiang and the others to Ling County and asked Fu Jiang to pay his respects at the Fu Family Cemetery."
"As you should." Fu Ciyi praised, "You did the right thing."
"As for the family in Pengzhou, Lord Wu will handle it impartially." Leng Feng said again.
Fu Ciyi said "hmm".
Yan Funing looked at the dusty five people and knew they had a hard time returning. She smiled and said, "Everyone go take a good bath. We have prepared wine and food in the mansion. Wash up, eat well, and then take a good rest."
"Yes, Princess." The five people responded with a smile.
At this moment, Yu Liang came over quickly with Eunuch Han.
"Your Highness, Prince Rui, I have been ordered to come here on urgent business."
Eunuch Han took big and fast steps and tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, Fu Xi quickly caught him.
"What's the matter?" Fu Ciyi asked.
Eunuch Han nodded to Fu Xi in thanks and replied, "Prince Sheng just came to the palace to see the emperor and ask to marry the fifth princess."
