As Feng Changgui spoke, he was filled with emotion: "I remember when you were just born, you were so tiny. In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up. I haven't been by your side all these years. If you were all standing together, I might not be able to recognize each of you."
He spoke these words sincerely, because after his younger siblings were born, they were raised together. As they grew older, Feng Changgui, as the eldest, began to teach them personally.
Lu Qingyan felt that although Feng Changgui was a bit cold, he was definitely a model elder brother.
Feng Changgui was a very busy man; after giving a few instructions, he left.
After Feng Changgui left, Lu Qingyan hurriedly packed her things, but after searching for a long time, she realized that she didn't need to take much with her.
She sat in the palace waiting. After a short while, a middle-aged eunuch with a noble appearance came over: "Third Prince, this servant is here on the orders of the First Prince. I wonder if the Third Prince is ready? If he is, please come with this servant to Chaolu Palace."
Lu Qingyan nodded: "I'll go now, please lead the way, Father-in-law."
Lu Qingyan expressed her gratitude verbally, but made no offer whatsoever. After all, she was far too poor to spare any money for a reward.
Xia Zi was also a little embarrassed. His master was poor, but he was even poorer! Fortunately, the eunuch who came to guide him did not blame him.
In this world, it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. And most of these rootless people are the pettiest of the petty. If they offend someone, they might not even know how they died.
Feng Changgui's manners were impeccable, making it impossible for Lu Qingyan to dislike him.
Lu Qingyan was probably the only one in the palace who was kept in the dark about everything. She had a hard time finding out what was going on outside, but people outside knew everything about her.
It wasn't exactly a secret that Feng Changgui had returned, but what was unexpected was that after his return, he actually had the Third Prince brought to his palace.
For a time, many people speculated about his true intentions and what he was planning. They kept thinking about it and various conspiracy theories ran through their minds.
Feng Changgui (shrugs): I really just want to be a good older brother and take care of my younger brother.
Upon hearing this news, the Fifth Prince smashed the precious vase bestowed upon him by the Emperor: "That wretch is quite shrewish; she's actually managed to get in touch with my elder brother. I really don't know what my elder brother sees in her, that he keeps her by his side. Isn't he afraid that this brat will stab him in the back later?"
The Fifth Prince grew increasingly angry as he thought about it, feeling that Lu Qingyan harbored ill intentions towards him and his brother.
He erupted in a tirade: "He's clearly my own brother, yet he spends far more time taking care of others than with me. Is this how an older brother should act?"
Still not satisfied, he smashed several bottles and other porcelain items before calming down a bit. But after only a short while, he started causing trouble again, feeling that he had to go and talk to his older brother properly so that others would feel that he was his brother's closest person.
The Fifth Prince made up his mind to follow Lu Qingyan's example and go live with Feng Changgui.
Hmph, my brother belongs to me alone, and I won't let anyone unimportant take him away.
The fifth prince secretly made up his mind, but unfortunately, when he saw the so-called truth a few years later, he was terrified.
