Chapter 72 Tan Fei
Chapter 72 Tan Fei
"Mother, no matter how wonderful Zhuge Wan'er is, if my brother doesn't like her, don't force it. Marriage is a lifelong event, so my brother has to like her first."
Xuanyuan Leng met Ning You's eyes and spoke earnestly.
Ning You was so angry that she laughed at Xuanyuan Leng's protective look.
Is she some kind of vicious stepmother? If Xuanyuan Xingyao really doesn't like him, can she force him?
No matter how good Zhuge Wan'er is, can she be better than her own son?
"I'm your biological mother, not a vicious stepmother."
Ning You said unhappily.
Xuanyuan Leng smiled when he heard this. There was nothing he could do. He had been listening to Ning You praising Zhuge Wan'er every day recently, saying how great she was.
On the second day, Xuanyuan Leng went to look for Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao originally thought that Xuanyuan Leng came to persuade him to get married as soon as possible.
Just as he was about to respond, he saw Xuanyuan Leng asking him many questions about his life on the frontier, but did not mention a single word about getting married.
Xuanyuan Leng seemed to see Xuanyuan Xingyao's confusion and explained with a chuckle.
"I know you don't want to get married yet, so why would I try to persuade you? If it weren't for the Queen Mother's strong request, I wouldn't have come here at all."
Xuanyuan Leng's meaning is very simple. I didn't come here on my own initiative, but was forced to do so. But I know what your attitude is, and I won't force you. I'm just here to go through the motions.
Xuanyuan Xingyao understood what Xuanyuan Leng meant, and the coldness around him seemed to have dissipated a lot. There was less indifference and more smiles between his brows.
Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that Xuanyuan Leng was curious about things in the border area, so he told him a lot of interesting stories about the border area.
He even told Xuanyuan Leng about several meaningful battles.
After listening to Xuanyuan Xingyao's story, Xuanyuan Leng showed an obvious smile on his face.
"I really envy you. If only I were a soldier too, I could go to the border."
Xuanyuan Leng actually understood that as long as he was still the prince, he could not go to the battlefield even if he was a soldier.
Although the proportion of warriors in war is larger, it does not mean that there are no magicians.
Let’s not talk about anything else, there are several magician generals in the court of the Dragon Shadow Empire.
Xuanyuan Leng cannot participate in the war purely because of his identity.
After all, the crown prince is related to the future of the empire. Unless there is a war that endangers the empire, the crown prince is needed to inspire people.
Otherwise, Xuanyuan Leng would never be able to go to the battlefield in his life.
Xuanyuan Leng understood this in his heart, so although he felt a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mood.
Xuanyuan Xingyao had nothing to say about Xuanyuan Leng's wish. His identity was destined and no one could change it.
"Come to the East Palace and sit down if you have nothing to do. The little fat boy has started to recognize people. He is so cute. You will definitely like him if you see him."
Ever since Xuanyuan Leng got married, Xuanyuan Hongtai gradually began to ask him to help with government affairs.
The official duties that Xuanyuan Leng has to deal with every day not only leave him no time to rest, but also keep him busy from morning to night.
So after sitting for a while, Xuanyuan Leng got up and prepared to return to the East Palace.
"Does the Empress know that you are called Tangyuan Little Fatty? You are really Tangyuan's biological father."
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Xuanyuan Leng speechlessly. A baby of a few months old is at the age of becoming plump, so isn't it normal for him to curl up?
As for Xuanyuan Leng, people always call him "Little Fatty" no matter what. If you don't know him, you would think the child is very fat.
Xuanyuan Leng smiled happily upon hearing this and said, "I learned this from your sister-in-law."
Although Lan Qi'er comes from a wealthy family, she is not old-fashioned and is even very interesting sometimes.
The relationship between the couple is getting better and better, which is inseparable from Lan Qier's good character.
What could Xuanyuan Xingyao say? He could only mourn for his nephew in his heart.
There was a couple who loved to tease his parents.
The little guy, whose nickname is Tangyuan and whose real name is Xuanyuan Hanyu, can already anticipate how exciting it will be.
After Xuanyuan Leng left, Xuanyuan Xingyao did not continue to practice, but changed his clothes and went out of the palace to find Nangong Jing.
What Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't expect was that when he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he was told by the servants that Nangong Jing was not at home.
At first, Xuanyuan Xingyao thought that Nangong Jing had gone to find Feng Xuanzhou.
After all, Nangong Jing has had few friends since he was a child.
Sometimes Xuanyuan Xingyao also felt strange. Even though Nangong Jing had such a good personality, many people wanted to get close to him and become friends with him.
But Nangong Jing accepted none of them. From childhood to adulthood, except for him and Feng Xuanzhou, everyone else could only be said to be casual acquaintances.
We interact but don't open our hearts.
He didn't know if Xuanyuan Xingyao was overthinking it, but he always felt that Nangong Jing seemed to have suffered some kind of injury in friendship.
It's just that this shouldn't happen. The three of them grew up together, and neither he nor Feng Xuanzhou had ever done anything to hurt Nangong Jing.
How could Nangong Jing have been emotionally hurt? So after thinking about it, I can only conclude that Nangong Jing is just more cautious.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao noticed that Nangong Jing was quite wary, he actually thought it was a good thing.
Because of this, Nangong Jing wouldn't be shared by too many people.
So, some things actually have signs that can be traced.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's possessiveness towards Nangong Jing was revealed early on.
It’s just that neither he nor Nangong Jing noticed it.
"Oh, what a rare guest! Your Highness, why did you come to see me today? Don't you usually come to see Ajing?"
When Feng Xuanzhou heard that there was a guest looking for him, he thought it was his group of friends who came to ask him to go out and play again.
Unlike Nangong Jing who has few friends since childhood, Feng Xuanzhou is a social expert who can make friends no matter where he is.
Of course, most of them are just bad friends, the kind that can eat and drink together but cannot confide in each other.
However, anyone who can be recognized by Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao naturally cannot be a simple and innocent person.
Feng Xuanzhou has a scale in his heart. He knows exactly who is in what position and what they can do together.
"Isn't Xiao Jing here with you?"
When Xuanyuan Xingyao heard what Feng Xuanzhou said, he immediately realized that Nangong Jing was not here.
He raised his brows slightly, a little confused. Where did Nangong Jing go?
Feng Xuanzhou thought to himself, he knew there was no way Xuanyuan Xingyao would take the initiative to look for him.
Originally, I thought Nangong Jing was with him, but where did Nangong Jing go?
He's not at the Duke's Mansion, and hasn't come to see him. Could it be that he has a new best friend? ? ?
That shouldn't be the case. Given Nangong Jing's personality, if he really had close friends, he wouldn't have kept it a secret from them.
Sometimes there are some people and some things that really cannot be talked about.
Look, Feng Xuanzhou didn't have time to respond to Xuanyuan Xingyao's words.
Then another servant came to report that Nangong Jing had arrived.
Nangong Jing came if he wanted to, and he didn’t come alone.
Feng Xuanzhou saw Nangong Jing walking slowly towards him with a young man. The two were talking and laughing, and they seemed to have a close relationship.
He thought to himself that something was wrong, and then he looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's face, which was indeed very ugly.
When Nangong Jing saw Xuanyuan Xingyao, he felt a little uneasy for some reason, and even subconsciously kept some distance from Qin Fei.
"Ajing, who is this?"
Feng Xuanzhou glanced at Xuanyuan Xingyao and sighed inwardly. It was all thanks to him that the three of them had been able to be friends for so many years.
Otherwise, with just these two, one silent and the other a little confused, the relationship would have broken down long ago.
Feng Xuanzhou suppressed his smile and shook his head in his heart.
"This is Qin Fei, an ice magician."
Nangong Jing raised his finger and pointed at Qin Fei, introducing him to the two of them.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was originally angry. When did Nangong Jing make another friend without telling him?
And they seemed to have a close relationship, but when he saw Nangong Jing introducing Qin Fei, he stood there.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's original anger dissipated in an instant, leaving only a little doubt.
Nangong Jing seemed to be introducing Qin Fei very intimately, but if you look closely.
You will find that his standing posture is just in a position where he can attack or defend.
Even when facing Qin Fei, he faced him directly and did not expose his back at all.
This shows that Nangong Jing does not like the person in front of him, and even hates him very much, and has considerable hostility towards him.
This is even more strange. If they don’t like someone, why bring them to them?
It seems that there is some hidden secret here that he doesn't know.
Feng Xuanzhou naturally discovered what Xuanyuan Xingyao discovered.
Because of this discovery, the smile in Feng Xuanzhou's eyes became even more intense, but this smile seemed a bit cold no matter how you looked at it.
"Qin Fei? I've heard of this name before. Is he the illegitimate son of Duke Qin?"
Feng Xuanzhou blinked his big eyes, looking at the innocent face, but the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to have some malicious intentions.
When Nangong Jing heard Feng Xuanzhou's question, he almost couldn't hide the smile on his face.
I thought to myself that I would say more.
Qin Fei didn't expect Feng Xuanzhou to know his identity.
The smile on his face suddenly became a little stiff. After all, in a big family, illegitimate sons are still relatively excluded.
If there was Nangong Jing by her side before, but ten years ago, Nangong Jing's mother became a concubine.
Nangong Jing also became a legitimate son from a concubine's son. Over the years, the concubines' sons in major families have been envious of him.
"Yes, I am the Ninth Young Master of Duke Qin's Mansion."
I have to say that Qin Fei is a man of flexibility and resilience, or in other words, he is thick-skinned.
The awkwardness lasted only a moment, and calm was quickly restored.
"It really is you. There were rumors before that Mr. Qin was outstanding in appearance. Seeing you today, it is indeed true."
Even though he knew Feng Xuanzhou, it was just a greeting.
But Qin Fei still felt comfortable listening to it, and when he looked at Feng Xuanzhou, he felt like he was a close friend.
Feng Xuanzhou was so angry that his hair stood on end, and he wondered if this man was mentally ill.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect you to be here in Xuanzhou as well."
While Qin Fei was talking to Feng Xuanzhou, Nangong Jing walked over to Xuanyuan Xingyao and greeted him softly.
Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that Nangong Jing called him "Your Highness" because Qin Fei was there.
But hearing the word "Your Highness" coming out of Nangong Jing's mouth still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"If you don't like him, why do you still associate with him?"
Xuanyuan Xingyao was not a person who liked to hide things, so he asked directly.
Of course, I lowered my voice when I asked so that Qin Fei would not hear.
