Chapter 384 Feng Qianlan
Feng Hanhe didn't really think about punishing anyone. He looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said, "Everyone, please stand up. You have all risked your lives for this country over the past three years. I cannot erase your contributions just because you concealed the truth."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Jiang Yun will be reborn as a girl from today onwards, and you will lose your official position. I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred acres of fertile land. Since you are an orphan, if you have a partner you like, I will arrange a marriage for you."
Before Jiang Yun could say anything, Ma Yushun stepped forward and said, "I am willing to marry Jiang Yun."
Everyone looked at Ma Yushun. Did this guy already know that Jiang Yun was a girl?
Jiang Yun looked at him in shock: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I like you."
Feng Hanhe looked at Ma Yushun and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Every word I say is true."
Jiang Yun was anxious: "When did I say I wanted to marry you?"
Ma Yushun whispered, "I've already held you in my arms. If you don't marry me, who do you want to marry?"
"you...."
"So many people saw it, and you want to deny it?"
"That's why you married me. I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life."
"No, I've actually always wanted to ask you if you have a sister like you, but now I realize that I like you more than your sister."
Jiang Yun looked at him in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Feng Hanhe looked at the two of them with a smile: "Jiang Yun, are you willing to marry Lord Ma?"
Jiang Yun glared at Ma Yushun fiercely: "Don't regret it in the future."
"I will never regret it."
Jiang Yun snorted coldly and knelt down towards Feng Hanhe: "I am willing."
Feng Hanhe was delighted to see this happen, and granted the two of them a marriage on the spot, allowing them to choose a date for the wedding.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
After the rewarding ceremony, everyone received their reward.
Feng Hanhe left Chen Hanxing, Wen Yongnan, and Feng Chengyun alone and called them to the imperial study.
There was another girl in the imperial study. She was Feng Chengyun’s twin sister, the eleventh princess of the current dynasty, Feng Qianlan.
Several people stood aside without saying a word.
Feng Hanhe looked at the pair of similar-looking children standing beside him. He owed a lot to these children, but he never expected that they would play such a trick of replacing the dragon with the phoenix. "Xiaojiu, tell me."
Feng Qianlan stopped Feng Chengyun who was about to speak and said, "Brother, what's there to say? It's done. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
"I haven't blamed you for deceiving the emperor yet, but you are getting tough with me first?" Feng Hanhe felt a headache looking at the girl in front of him.
"Anyway, our birth was a mistake. You might as well kill all of us brothers and sisters at once to avoid making you angry."
"presumptuous."
"Qianlan." Feng Chengyun grabbed his sister who was about to say something.
Feng Qianlan turned to look at him: "Brother, am I wrong? When we were bullied by the palace servants, he didn't even ask a single question. He might not even know whether we have children or not."
Feng Hanhe narrowed his eyes and asked, "Were you bullied by the palace servants?"
"You know how to ask now? Who in this palace doesn't judge people by their appearance? My mother is just a maid you accidentally favored. You probably don't even have an impression of her."
Feng Hanhe fell silent. He had indeed favored a palace maid in the past, but he didn't pay much attention to it later. It was only after she gave birth to these two children that he found out that she was pregnant with his child, so he made her a concubine.
He thought that their lives would be easier this way, but as time went on he forgot her existence. When she died, he didn't seem to care at all, and even let the palace servants take care of the two children she left behind.
Shen Hanxing and Wen Yongnan glanced at each other, it seemed that such a thing was not something they could listen to.
"Your Majesty, let's go wait outside while you take care of your household chores."
Feng Hanhe then remembered that there were two outsiders in the imperial study and nodded in agreement.
After the two left, he looked at Feng Chengyun and the others and said, "I was wrong."
Feng Qianlan wanted to say something, but when she suddenly heard his apology, the words on her lips could not come out.
Feng Chengyun patted his sister's shoulder and said, "Qianlan, don't get excited." Then he looked at Feng Hanhe and said, "Father, the reason I ran away from the palace to join the army was to fight for a future for my sister."
"For Xiaoyi."
Feng Chengyun nodded: "My brother and I are both unpopular in the palace. In the future, I may just be an idle prince, and I can get by anyway. But Qianlan is different. Once a marriage alliance is proposed, she will be the first to be pushed out."
"How is that possible?"
"Father, all these sisters in the palace have mothers. Who would be willing to let their daughters marry far away?"
Feng Hanhe fell silent. Marriage with foreign princes would exist in any dynasty. It was also a way to avoid wars. The royal family's descendants had no right to say no.
They were born into royal families and had the best food, clothing and other necessities, so naturally they had to devote their lives to the country.
He never thought that this was wrong, but facing these two children who he owed so much, he couldn't convince himself with such words.
"So you want to find a marriage for Xiao Shiyi?"
"Yes, I want you to see us as brother and sister."
"Have you chosen anyone yet?"
"have."
"who."
"I originally liked Shen Hanxing, but unfortunately he has an excellent fiancée. I've observed him for a long time and I think Wen Yongnan is good."
Feng Qianlan looked at him in surprise: "Brother."
"Don't object. I have been with him in the military camp for three years. His character and personality are definitely an excellent choice." After saying that, he looked at Feng Hanhe and knelt on the ground: "I know that I deceived the emperor first. Please don't punish Qianlan, father. I forced her to do this. I am willing to die to atone for my sin." After saying that, he kowtowed several times on the ground.
Feng Qianlan quickly knelt on the ground and held him back: "It has nothing to do with my brother. I forced him to do it."
Feng Hanhe looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and did not punish them: "Xiaojiu, after three years on the battlefield, what have you felt?"
"Only by becoming strong can we avoid war and protect the people's livelihoods."
Feng Hanhe smiled. This child, whom he had never noticed, had grown up to be the successor he wanted most without him noticing.
"Get up, you have good taste. Wen Yongnan is indeed a good candidate, and his sister is also very smart. If you meet him one day in the future, you will probably regret not meeting him earlier."
Feng Chengyun didn't pay much attention to what he said: "Father, do you agree?"
"I promise. You will stay with me from now on. There are still many things you need to learn."
Feng Chengyun didn't react for a moment.
Eunuch Mo understood what he meant and said quickly, "Ninth Prince, why don't you express your gratitude quickly?"
"Thank you, Father, for your grace."
"Alright, this matter is over." After saying that, he turned to look at Eunuch Mo and said, "Go and call the two people outside in!"
