Chapter 30
"It's OK. The border is not as clean as the capital, so it must be a lot darker than before, and there are always fighting and killing." Lan Yueming smiled and continued, "But your brother is very capable. The soldiers he leads always have the least casualties. I will never forget standing on the tower and him telling the soldiers that we fight for the safety of our families, not to be displaced refugees. Not everyone who is brave is a hero. We must use our brains, tactics, and our bodies to defend that inch of land."
Feng Huanhuan listened carefully, and Lan Yueming also said a little more, "Sometimes, you swallow your anger in order to make the next move more careful and let the opponent relax their vigilance. But many new recruits are out of control and sacrifice in vain. They don't understand tactics, strategies, and the rules of the battlefield. No one wants to see their early sacrifice."
"But Young Master Feng was able to spend sleepless nights explaining the various hidden dangers and reactions on the battlefield to the recruits, which greatly controlled the casualty rate of the recruits."
Lan Yueming sighed: "Even my father can't do this."
That day, Feng Huanhuan and Lan Yueming chatted for a long time.
Feng Huanhuan wanted to know more about her brother's life at the border. Lan Yueming talked about Feng Wubai's past impatiently, from the big things like how he was almost taken prisoner to the small things like how he saved a civilian girl and that girl insisted on becoming Feng Wubai's concubine.
Feng Huanhuan widened her eyes and asked, "How did my brother deal with it?"
Lan Yueming smiled and said, "Your brother said he has someone he loves, and he only wants her."
Feng Huanhuan pouted and disagreed: "Brother has saved so many people. If he married them all, I'm afraid the Feng Mansion wouldn't be able to accommodate them all."
Although Lan Yueming was smiling, it was a little dim. She thought she had hidden it well and Feng Huanhuan didn't notice.
In fact, Feng Wubai saved her more than once.
The day passed quickly until dusk. Feng Huanhuan felt a little unsatisfied, but when she thought of the cold wind coming at night, she hardened her heart and said to Lan Yueming, "Sister Yueliang, come to see me more often during the day, or I will come to see you."
Lan Yueming agreed readily. She didn't know anyone familiar in the capital, except Feng Huanhuan and Bai Tiao.
Feng Huanhuan sent Lan Yueming to the gate of the mansion and waved goodbye to her reluctantly.
"Miss, stop looking. I can't even hear the sound of Baxue's horse hooves anymore."
Feng Huanhuan lowered her head and sighed, "Sister Yueliang seems... seems to like brother."
Feicui opened her mouth and uttered a cry, even changing her tone, "Miss, did Princess Lanyue tell you?"
Feng Huanhuan shook her head. "From the few words she said, there was light in her eyes when she talked about my brother, just like when I looked at Han Fengci. Moreover, she could tell me many things about my brother in great detail."
“Only when you like someone will you care about all the details about him.”
Feicui saw that the young lady looked very decadent and powerless, so she advised: "If you like her, then like her. At most, you can be his equal wife."
Jade doesn't think this is a difficult decision.
Feng Huanhuan shook her head again: "Brother will not marry a concubine."
"My brother said that father has loved mother all his life and has loved us all his life. We should be grateful for father's deep love. Therefore, men in the Feng family cannot have concubines, and women cannot be concubines."
Although she didn't know why Sister Yueliang returned to Beijing early, and she had no hostility towards Bai Tiao, she deeply and carefully hid her feelings for her brother. If she hadn't talked about it so much today, she probably wouldn't have noticed it. If she hadn't had a loved one, she probably wouldn't have noticed it either.
It is very painful to love someone you can't get. It is better to hide this feeling and be close friends or brothers. The only thing is that you cannot be lovers.
Maybe Sister Moon’s choice was right.
There are many sparkling lights twinkling in the sky, which is very beautiful.
Feng Huanhuan sat under the wintersweet tree with her little head propped up, completely unaware that Han Fengci behind her had been staring at her for a long time.
It was not until Han Fengci coughed lightly that she came back to her senses and hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Why didn't you say anything when you came?"
"Seeing that you are so absorbed in your thoughts, I don't want to disturb you any further."
"Then why did you cough lightly?"
Han Fengci said thoughtfully: "I probably want to know who can make Huan'er so obsessed."
Feng Huanhuan smiled, "Then guess?"
"It's hard to guess what Huan'er is thinking, but it's probably because of your brother?" Han Fengci said again: "Your brother will be back soon."
His answer was not a question, but an affirmation. Feng Huanhuan's eyes lit up, and she happily shook Han Fengci's arm, chirping like a bird: "Really? Really? Really?"
Han Fengci nodded and chuckled, "Really, I'm back."
She is really happy. Over the years, she has grown a lot and become much taller.
"Brother can really catch up with my coming-of-age ceremony." Then, she looked at Han Fengci, "Will you come to my coming-of-age ceremony?"
There was a strong expectation in her eyes, and Han Fengci couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded, "Yes."
"After I reach the age of 15, I can get married." She hugged Han Fengci's arm and said nonchalantly and casually, "How about asking Dad to go to the Han Mansion to present the betrothal gifts?"
This was not the first time Han Fengci had heard her mention this.
But he never had the courage to agree.
Especially recently, she always mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, and he knew that she was reminding him.
So he knocked her on the head and said, "How can a woman go to a man's house to pay a betrothal gift?"
Feng Huanhuan raised her head and smiled: "It is my blessing to marry you."
She smiles sweetly and has curved eyes, which are particularly beautiful.
Ever since Feng Huanhuan learned that Han Fengci was a god, he would go to Huanxin Garden almost every night to accompany Feng Huanhuan, to keep her warm and to coax her to sleep.
This winter is a warm one for Feng Huanhuan.
And every time Feng Huanhuan fell asleep, he did not hide his deep affection for her and told her many things that he could not say, and tonight was no exception.
Han Fengci looked at the sleeping Feng Huanhuan. Xiao Nuan was chubby and really cute, like a ripe peach.
He stroked her black and smooth hair, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with desolation and despair. He said to her with some trembling, "Ling'er, marrying you is my obsession, but if I marry you, you will hate me one day."
He would say this sentence every day, to himself.
He was afraid that she couldn't help herself, especially when she looked at him. She wanted to agree and nod countless times, but was finally forced to hold back by her own reason.
He warned himself countless times that he would be content if he could just spend a peaceful time with her in the mortal world.
Even though she would scold him in the future, if he married her, she would hate him.
He could no longer bear her hatred.
Too heavy.
Feng Huanhuan has been very busy these days because the Third Prince is making trouble again.
Yes, again.
On this day, he actually stepped into the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a dignified manner. Coincidentally, Lan Yueming knew the news.
Lan Yueming rode Baxue into the Feng Mansion and galloped all the way to Huanxin Garden, startling Feng Huanhuan and Feicui who were drinking tea under the wintersweet tree. She was stunned for a few breaths before she stood up, "Sister Yueliang?"
Lan Yueming jumped off the horse and picked up Feng Huanhuan by the waist. He said to Feicui who was staring at him, "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You follow me. I can only carry one person."
Feicui nodded randomly, but her mind was actually empty. It was not until her young lady disappeared from her sight that she suddenly came to her senses, lifted her skirt and rushed towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
On horseback, Feng Huanhuan closed her eyes, held her breath and kept her mouth shut. She had no time to think about what had happened suddenly.
Although the weather was getting slightly warmer, the snow and wind were blowing so fast that the bone-chilling wind stung her face.
It took her several breaths to get used to the feeling of being on horseback. Facing the wind, she turned around with difficulty and asked Lan Yueming behind her: "Sister Yueliang, what's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
"Today when I entered the palace, I happened to meet Concubine Cihe and my uncle in the Imperial Garden. Prime Minister Bai was also there. Concubine Cihe has reported to the Emperor that the Third Prince and Bai Tiao have developed feelings for each other, and Prime Minister Bai nodded. The Emperor tacitly allowed the Third Prince to freely enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when the time is right, he will grant them marriage."
Feng Huanhuan's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't care about the wind blowing into her mouth. She anxiously patted Baxue's mane, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, faster."
Baxue received the order and ran forward with all his might.
It took less than half a cup of tea to reach the Prime Minister's residence.
The two of them didn't bother to send Baxue to the stable of the palace, and directly asked Baxue to stand at the gate of the palace and not run around. The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw the two anxious guests, and before they stepped forward to greet them, they saw two figures rushing into the gate of the palace.
The guard was stunned and quickly said to another guard, "You wait here, I will go to the front hall to report."
The guards were nowhere to be found, including Feng Huanhuan and Lan Yueming. At this moment, the two of them were already standing at the door of the reception hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, staring at the Third Prince and Prime Minister Bai inside the hall, and of course, there was also Bai Tiao who had just come out of the boudoir.
Bai Tiao was the first to break the silence. She stepped forward and took Feng Huanhuan's hand, saying, "Huan'er, how come you are so free today?"
"Ah... that..." Feng Huanhuan racked her brains, and suddenly an idea came to her. She said, "Today is an important day for Sister Yueliang. We came to find you to celebrate together."
Lan Yueming was stunned at first, then she looked at Feng Huanhuan's expression and immediately understood, then agreed: "Yes, yes, yes. Today is... today is a big day."
Everyone in the reception hall focused their attention on Lan Yueming. At this moment, she was really feeling overwhelmed.
This Huan'er always gives her problems.
After all, he came from a military camp, so although he was panicked, his expression did not show it at all.
However, she did think of a reason that could not be refused, and she said slowly: "Today is the day I escaped death."
"Three years ago today, the border was in danger. The Japanese pirates and foreign countries attacked in the dark of night. We didn't have time to put on armor and step onto the battlefield. We fought for five days and five nights. We suffered heavy casualties, but we finally defeated the Japanese pirates and restored the border. Because of that battle, I was left with lifelong scars. The military doctor saved me for three days. In the end, it was Young Master Feng who took the wound and disguised himself to enter the foreign country and bought all the life-saving medicines to save my life. I can say that my life was given by Young Master Feng. My father has reported the victory report to my uncle as soon as possible. My uncle said that when Young Master returns to Beijing, he will receive the reward for his military merits."
What Lan Yueming said was clear and reasonable.
Firstly, it involves the Shangshu Mansion, and secondly, Lan Yueming is the eldest princess's only child and the emperor's only niece, and they are of the same blood.
It is not reasonable for anyone here to stop it.
