A match made in heaven
The man with his hands behind his back still stood quietly by the window without a single response. The man in the green robe sighed softly and shook his head. He then filled his teacup with tea and sat down leisurely, blowing gently on the hot steam from the cup. However, he couldn't help but glance at the silent man out of the corner of his eye. As he flicked his fingers, he seemed to have thought of something and said after a moment of contemplation:
"I heard that the old lady's condition has improved?"
The man standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back is Fu Changan, and the man behind him is his childhood playmate, Xie Yunqing, who is now the Left Censor of the Ministry of Personnel.
Fu Changan didn't react much, just a soft "hmm," his eyes still fixed on the bustling crowd downstairs.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Suddenly, there was a polite knock on the door. Fu Changan said without turning his head, "Come in."
The door was quietly pushed open, and a guard in dark-colored uniform stood in front and said respectfully, "Sir, the second young lady's carriage is on the way back."
Fu Mingyue? Did she go out and do something bad again? Xie Yunqing chuckled quietly as he twisted the cup filled with tea.
It seems that Hengzhi has to discipline her naughty sister this time.
"Bring her back." Fu Chang'an turned around and said in a deep voice. After leaving the court, his family disappeared, taking Doctor Su with them. That kind of place was not a place for Doctor Su to stay.
"As you command." The guard bowed and left, and the door was gently closed again.
Xie Yunqing, who was sitting beside him, put down his teacup, raised an eyebrow and looked at Fu Changan teasingly: "Little sister Mingyue still likes to run to Lushi Lane."
After that, there was another silence. The man in the backlight had a dark look in his eyes. It seemed as if he remembered something. After a moment, he said:
"Lin family, do you still remember?" Fu Changan slowly approached Xie Yunqing and sat down calmly.
"...Lin family?" Xie Yunqing was slightly stunned. Which other Lin family in the capital could be called famous, except for the Lin family whose entire family was exiled because of the forgery of documents by their uncles, which other one was there?
What impressed him most was the most promising youngest son of the Lin family, who passed the imperial examination at a young age and joined the Hanlin Academy, with a bright future.
However, they were implicated and demoted to common people. The main culprit was executed, all the adult males in the family were exiled to Hainan Island, and the female family members were stripped of their official positions and enslaved. The century-old noble family collapsed and was destroyed in an instant.
"Are you talking about the Lin family?" Xie Yunqing asked back.
Fu Changan nodded slightly: "The Lin family has a little son who was secretly rescued by Mingyue."
When Xie Yunqing heard this, his eyes changed slightly, and he understood the key almost instantly.
Could it be that... Xie Yunqing hurriedly asked, "You mean Mingyue secretly hid him in a brothel?"
"Yes and no." Fu Changan, the youngest son of the Lin family, had also seen him. He used to be a handsome and bright man, but now he was being laughed at in brothels.
My thoughts drifted away, and I seemed to be back to that sunny, breezy day. That bright-hearted young man stood beneath a tree, hesitantly expressing his longing for the bright moon. He said... he would definitely pass the imperial examinations and become someone worthy of the bright moon. The young man was full of hope and sincerity, but after achieving success, he fell into the mire and fell into the abyss!
Thinking of this, Fu Changan's eyes dimmed slightly, and a sour feeling unconsciously rose in his heart that could not be shaken off.
"That boy seems to be interested in Mingyue." Xie Yunqing lowered his head and filled another cup of tea for himself. Thinking of the person Fu Mingyue loved in her heart, he shook his head secretly and sighed.
Fu Changan, who was standing by, glanced at him leisurely upon hearing this. He didn't seem surprised that Xie Yunqing knew about the Lin family boy's feelings. He raised his hand and took a sip of tea, saying calmly, "A good marriage is made in heaven, and a good couple is made in heaven. Love cannot be forced."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunqing placed the teacup in his hand back on the table with a clang, splashing a few drops of water. His eyes were fixed on the man in front of him, a man who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Fu Hengzhi? ? (Fu Changan's courtesy name)
Is he still the Fu Hengzhi who coldly rejected even the tearful confession of love from the most beautiful woman in the capital?
Xie Yunqing stood up suddenly and carefully looked up and down at Fu Changan, who was sitting leisurely beside him. His expression changed constantly. He couldn't help but stretched out his finger and poked Fu Changan's shoulder, asking in surprise: "Who are you? Where is Hengzhi? Did you kill him?"
Fu Changan: “…”
Xie Yunqing and Fu Mingyue are a match made in heaven!
His memory was not wrong. Xie Yunqing clearly remembered that Hengzhi had never been interested in such matters between men and women. The scene of the victory banquet after the recovery of the three continents of Yunxiang and Xiang, where the most beautiful woman covered her face and cried, was still vivid in his mind.
The moon was as dark as a mirror, and a cold silver light shone above the upside-down treetops. The man stood on one side, hidden in the moonlight. Xie Yunqing tried hard to recall carefully what Hengzhi had said at that time.
"Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed."
This cold remark instantly popped up again, lingering in Xie Yunqing's mind. Fu Hengzhi... has a girl he likes? Thinking of this, Xie Yunqing couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then the corners of his lips rose up, with some meaningful expression.
"Fu Hengzhi? This iron tree of yours... is actually about to bloom?"
The iron tree... blooms? Is he talking about himself? Fu Chang'an's hand, holding the teacup, unconsciously stroked the wall, circle after circle.
"Whose girl is this? Do I recognize her?" Xie Yunqing asked closer, "Is she from the capital? Or Yunxiang?" Seeing Fu Changan remained silent, Xie Yunqing continued to ask, "Could she be from Huangdu?"
That remote place???
Yes, her third sister often read stories about a domineering general falling in love with a beautiful girl from a poor mountain village.
Xie Yunqing secretly glanced at Fu Changan, wondering if he had been rescued by a pretty girl from a small mountain village when he was injured in Huangdu, and then the two of them spent time together day and night, fell in love, and secretly decided to spend their lives together!
Xie Yunqing: “…”
No! He couldn't let his friend make the same mistake again. The girl's reputation was the most important thing. Since he had secretly agreed to spend his life with her, he must bring her to the capital as soon as possible to settle her down, so as to avoid being branded as a man who abandoned her after having an affair with her!
"Hengzhi, there is no time to lose! Where does the girl live? I will take a leave of absence and accompany you personally to pick her up!" Xie Yunqing said seriously.
"Girl? What girl?" Fu Changan frowned and looked at his excited friend opposite him in confusion, wondering if he was having hysterics and talking nonsense.
"Of course she's the girl you're secretly engaged to spend your life with!!" Xie Yunqing blurted out.
"Who has secretly pledged his life to the young lady?" Before he could finish his words, the door was pushed open with a creak. The person who came in first looked at Fu Changan's ashen face with a confused look, then glanced sideways at Xie Yunqing who was a little excited.
I understood it instantly.
Oh, it turns out that Xie Yunqing and the girl have secretly decided to get married!
I have to tell him secretly when I have time. It’s Xie Yunqing’s fault for always telling his embarrassing stories in front of Mingyue.
The person who came was none other than Kuang Ye, the one who climbed over Fu Mingyue's wall at night as mentioned by Fu Chang'an, and he was the Deputy Director of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Driving.
How dare he actually come to Yongle Tower?! This guy really went to find Fu Mingyue last night! The guards in the palace patrol all night, but they can't even prevent such a scoundrel, so how can they guard the palace?
Fu Changan glanced at him sideways, and his originally gloomy face became even more unfathomable and profound because of his arrival.
This man has an ordinary appearance and an ordinary stature. His family background and official position are not even ranked among the top in the capital. With such a family background, if his father's new stepmother was not a distant relative of theirs, their family would never be able to climb into the Fu family even if they rode their horses at full speed.
Fu Changan couldn't help but wonder, what on earth did Fu Mingyue see in this kid?
Xie Yunqing, who was standing aside, seemed to have sensed the sharp aura emanating from the man beside him. He followed his gaze and found that he was carefully examining Kuang Ye.
Although Kuang Ye came from a humble family, he was tall and handsome, and could be considered a rare handsome young man in the capital.
Hengzhi, what is this...?
"What are you doing here?" Fu Changan's cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Xie Yunqing's thoughts.
"I..." Kuang Ye felt guilty when Fu Chang'an asked him this. The man before him was most likely his future brother-in-law. Mingyue had warned him that her brother had a cold and stern temperament, so his tone at this moment must not be directed at him.
Seeing that the unprepossessing Kuang Ye was hesitant to answer, Fu Changan snorted in his heart: If he were under his command, he would have thrown such soldiers to feed his horses long ago!
"Tell me! What are you doing here?" He actually dared to climb over the wall of their Fu Mansion again and again and break into Princess Yuxiang's boudoir at night. This guy must be asking for trouble!
The conflict was about to break out, and Kuang Ye just thought that this was the temper of his future brother-in-law, and looked at Xie Yunqing for help with a shrinking look.
Others didn't know, but Xie Yunqing knew his friend's temperament all too well. He didn't know how Kuang Ye had offended him. Could it be that... he knew about his affair with Mingyue? But how could he know this when he was so far away in such a desolate place?
Xie Yunqing hurriedly laughed to smooth things over: "Hengzhi, I was the one who called this little brother Kuang Ye here."
Fu Changan: “…”
He must be seriously ill! Fu Changan glared at him and said coldly, "Why did you call him here?"
Xie Yunqing: “…”
It's over. I originally planned to introduce Kuang Ye to Fu Changan and tell him in detail about the matter between this kid and Mingyue. Now it seems that Hengzhi seemed to have known about this matter for a long time, and judging from his expression, he is extremely dissatisfied with Kuang Ye.
Fu Mingyue, I can't help you. If you can't even pass Hengzhi, how can you talk about your father and mother, and even... the Holy Lord and the Holy Queen.
"He... is a new friend of mine. I called him here to introduce him to you two!" Xie Yunqing said with a stiff face.
"Oh?" Fu Changan raised his eyebrows slightly, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and his eyes fell on the uneasy Kuang Ye.
The more I look at it, the uglier it becomes, and the more I look at it, the more upset and annoying it becomes!
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two figures out of the corner of his eye. Fu Changan turned his head in confusion, and his body stiffened in an instant. Even his breath was taken away at this moment, and his eyes were filled with a shocking and unforgettable scene.
