Complex emotions surged in Feng Yinzhen's dark eyes.
A silent storm surged at the scene. The air was silent and everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.
After a moment, Feng Yinzhen suddenly laughed.
He stood up and walked down the stage, personally helping Feng Yinli up from the ground.
"What the Queen Mother said is true. The Emperor Father never blamed Seventeenth Brother in the slightest. How could I possibly punish him for such a small matter? I was just joking with him.
"Seventeenth brother, were you frightened? Then I will apologize to you and forgive you, okay?"
His smile is as gentle as the warm spring breeze.
Feng Yinli met his eyes quietly, and after a few seconds, he also started laughing.
He smiled and stood up with the help of Feng Yinzhen, then bowed deeply to Feng Yinzhen.
"Royal brother, it was my fault. How can I ask you to apologize? Royal brother, please accept my apology."
"You and I are brothers, we are close friends, why would we bother about such a small matter? Seventeenth brother, get up quickly!"
Seeing the two of them being so friendly and harmonious with each other, the strange atmosphere just now seemed to have never happened.
Everyone present laughed.
"The Emperor is broad-minded and magnanimous. How could he be angry over such a small matter? Your Majesty, you are worrying too much."
"The Queen Mother is the best at educating children. The Emperor and the Seventeenth Prince are siblings from the same mother, and they have always been harmonious and close. Their brotherly love is something that most people would envy."
"That's what I mean. Your Majesty was just joking."
The Queen Mother also gradually began to laugh.
Feng Wanwan stared at her smiling face, but a strange feeling arose in her heart.
[The Queen Mother's smile was fake, with no real smile in her eyes.]
[Oh yes, looking closely, the Queen Mother and the male protagonist Feng Yinli do look a lot alike. They're clearly mother and son. On the other hand, it's me, this idiot father... whether in appearance or age, I don't look like the Queen Mother's son.]
If I hadn't read the original book and confirmed the author's setting that both the Big Pig's Hoof and the male protagonist were the Queen Mother's children, but the Queen Mother favored the male protagonist, I would have thought that the Big Pig's Hoof was not the Queen Mother's biological son.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Hua Fei's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but look carefully at Feng Yinzhen's face.
Wanwan is indeed right, Silang and the Queen Mother do not look alike.
Moreover, in terms of age, the Queen Mother and Shiro seem to be only fourteen years apart, which is not a small age difference but not too big either, which is a bit mysterious.
But Feng Yinzhen listened to these words without showing anything on his face. He still kept smiling and held Feng Yinli's hand.
It was as if he didn't hear Feng Wanwan's mumbling at all.
Feng Yinli walked up to the Queen Mother and bowed. The Queen Mother smiled and hurriedly pulled his hand without waiting for Feng Yinli to kneel down.
"Although today's banquet is held at the palace, it can also be considered a family banquet. There's no need for these empty formalities."
"Thank you, mother."
Feng Yinli smiled faintly, his expression like a spoiled child. He stood up and came over to look at Feng Wanwan in the empress dowager's arms, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"This must be Princess Gulun Chunxi, she is indeed quite beautiful. Here, this is a gift from my uncle."
When Feng Yinli was looking at Feng Wanwan, Feng Wanwan was also looking at the male protagonist in the book who was loved by everyone.
[The book says the hero is handsome and elegant, a young man with a deep affection and loyalty. He and the heroine are like a perfect match, and he can be said to be the most beautiful man in the world. But why do I feel that he is... just average?]
[Although I am very dissatisfied with the big pig's hoof, my big pig's hoof father is handsome. This so-called male lead is not as handsome as my big pig's hoof father!]
"Come, let me see what your gift is! Tsk, everyone gives gold, jade, pearls, and you gave me a little wooden tiger? You're not trying to trick me with the idea that the gift is small, but the sentiment is great, are you?"
Sure enough, the next moment, Feng Yinli smiled slightly, and his soft boyish voice contained a hazy hint of rain.
"This is a little tiger that my uncle carved himself and gave to our Wanwan. I hope our Wanwan will be as lively and energetic as the little tiger."
"Ah, ugh, you're really trying to pull this off with me? You're trying to fool people with your craftsmanship. At least be decent. Look at your carving skills. I could carve better than you when I was four! The wood you're using isn't good either. At least get me some golden nanmu."
"I knew you were unreliable. You relied on your silver tongue and the gift-giving, free-of-charge, pure-heartedness trickery to trick people into meeting you secretly, having you bear your child, and ultimately helping you seize the throne! You even framed my idiot father with a crime and locked him up in the villa forever!"
[You can fool others, but you can't fool me. Take away your shoddy carving!]
Feng Wanwan complained furiously while throwing the carved little tiger in her hand away.
Then he hugged the gold and jade treasures in his arms tightly and turned his face away angrily, not wanting to look at Feng Yinli anymore.
This face is not as good-looking as the pig-hoofed father's, and he is also a stingy uncle. Feng Wanwan doesn't want to look at it, and she gets angry when she does.
This time the complaints contain more information.
Feng Xunlu widened his eyes, and his young heart suffered the greatest shock ever.
Her father would actually be dethroned by Uncle Seventeen? And he would be locked up in the villa for life?
Then she and her mother won’t have an easy time either, right?
Concubine Hua was stunned, and Feng Yinzhen was also shocked.
He was not liked by his father, the emperor, and his mother since he was young. He could be said to be the most marginalized among all the princes. However, his mother was particularly fond of his seventeenth brother, who was born to the same mother. The seventeenth brother's riding and archery skills were all taught by his father himself. He had always been looking forward to the love of his parents, but he could not get it.
