Xuan Tianming is back!
After Concubine Yun chased her away several times with a mysterious look on her face, Feng Yuheng finally realized that Concubine Yun was sending her a very pleasing message. And for someone like Concubine Yun, the only thing that could make her happy should be that her son had returned from the South Realm!
Feng Yuheng walked out of the bedroom with a smile, and walked to the front yard of Yuehan Palace with Wangchuan. Although she was anxious to welcome Xuan Tianming, she was still worried about some things and had to give instructions. So she called Su Yu, the head maid who sent her out, and said to her: "Send more people outside Yuehan Palace in the next few days, keep an eye on them, keep an eye on them farther away, at least within a range of fifty steps.
Su Yu was stunned, not understanding why Feng Yuheng made such an arrangement, but she also knew that she would not do it without a purpose, so she quickly asked: "Did the princess find anything outside the palace? Is there anyone suspicious?"
Feng Yuheng thought about it, but did not answer directly. Instead, he continued, "It would be best to arrange for the secret guards to go to Jingsi Palace to take a look. I remember that when we were at the hunting ground, Concubine Li was demoted to a noble lady and moved to Jingsi Palace, living in a side hall. You can place some people there to keep an eye on her."
Su Yu was puzzled. "I have heard about this, but didn't the emperor issue a ban, not allowing Concubine Li to leave Jingsi Palace?"
This is what Feng Yuheng is really worried about. Since the emperor has issued an order, there must be guards outside Jingsi Palace, but Li Guiren was still able to run out of the palace, which makes people have to be on guard. Let alone what she wants to do by standing outside Yuehan Palace, the fact that she can run out from a place with strict defense is worth further investigation.
"Anyway, send someone to keep an eye on her. She can still walk out of Jingsi Palace. I saw her standing alone on the path outside Yuehan Palace just before I came in. I don't know what she did. But I have checked outside and there are no strange objects. I think she hasn't had the chance to do anything yet. You guys keep an eye on her."
Su Yu also realized the seriousness of the matter, so she nodded solemnly and thanked Feng Yuheng again and again before sending her out of the palace. Feng Yuheng got on the imperial carriage directly after leaving the palace. Before she could give any instructions, Ban Zou, who was disguised as the coachman, lifted the curtain of the carriage slyly and said to her, "Let's leave the city, okay?"
Feng Yuheng also asked back: "Is His Highness the Ninth Prince back?"
Ban Zou nodded and said, "If you hurry to the south gate now, you should be able to catch up with His Highness entering the city."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go to the South Gate!" With a shout of "Go!", the imperial carriage sped away. It was getting close to dusk, and it was already dark outside. There were not many people on the street in the winter. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the air was very fresh. Feng Yuheng complained to Xuan Tianming, "You didn't even tell me you were coming back."
Wang Chuan laughed at her and comforted her at the same time: "Perhaps His Highness wants to give Miss a surprise."
"Hmph!" Feng Yuheng pouted, "Then this princess will forgive him for the time being." As she spoke, the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up, and a smile was revealed that she couldn't hide.
Ban Zou rushed to the South Gate as fast as he could, but stopped inside the gate. Feng Yuheng was puzzled, so he lifted the curtain and asked him, "Why did you stop? Let's go outside the city to welcome them."
Ban Zou pointed forward and said, "No need to greet him, His Highness has entered the city." As he spoke, he reached out and helped Feng Yuheng out of the carriage.
Feng Yuheng stood outside the carriage and looked forward, and saw a team coming in from the South City Gate. There were not many people, about a dozen attendants, and in the middle was a carriage, which was not gorgeous, but solemn. It was pulled by three horses, and it was obvious that the speed must be very fast.
The team rushed straight towards her imperial carriage. The attendants wanted to rush forward to make way, but when they got closer, they saw that it was Princess Ji'an, so they smiled and retreated. Someone said something to the carriage, and then a man in a purple robe came out from the opposite carriage, also standing outside the carriage, with his arms folded in front of him, squinting at her.
In the winter evening, light snow fell again, and crystal flakes fell on her long eyelashes and red mink cloak. From a distance, she looked like a porcelain doll covered with snow, so beautiful that people always wanted to hold it in their hands. And Xuan Tianming did stretch out his arms, as if he was welcoming someone to throw himself into his arms, with eager expectation and deep love in his eyes.
A certain young lady was very unrestrained. Seeing that her lover was so eager, how could she hold back? So she hurriedly and secretly walked away, and said without moving her lips: "Quick, take me over."
Ban Zou was extremely contemptuous of this, and without giving his master any face, he said: "If you have the ability, fly yourself!"
"Why would I need you if I could fly over there?"
"I've been practicing Qinggong for two years, but why haven't I improved at all? Aren't you usually quite capable?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. His team will be here soon and the atmosphere will be ruined. At times like this we just need to fly over, quickly."
Ban Zou was so rushed that he had no choice but to use his Qinggong to "throw" the girl into Xuan Tianming's arms. Before throwing her out, he didn't forget to mutter in her ear: "Idiot." When he threw her out, the snow mist brought by the light snow filled the sky, which was very beautiful.
Feng Yuheng had no time to pay attention to him. She was thrown forward and landed squarely in Xuan Tianming's arms. Xuan Tianming held the little girl tightly in his arms and held her in his chest.
The little girl couldn't hide the smile on her face, her eyes were narrowed, and her little head moved around in Xuan Tianming's arms, finally finding the most comfortable position to nestle in. She smelled his scent, and a sense of security and steadiness came over her. She instantly felt that she was too lonely in the capital for the past few months.
"Xuan Tianming." Her nose felt a little sour, her voice was a little hoarse, and her eyes were wet, but she stubbornly thought it was caused by the melting snow. She tilted her little neck and said to the man in front of her like a spoiled child, "You're finally back. If you don't come back, you won't be able to see me anymore."
Xuan Tianming wanted to laugh when he saw her like this, but he felt that he had to hold it back. He couldn't make fun of her at this time. In the end, he couldn't hold it back for a long time, and finally laughed, and then he freed one hand to touch her little nose: "Why can't you see it? Can the wife you got run away? This prince wants to ask, where are you going to run away?"
Feng Yuheng glared at him: "If you don't run, you will be bullied."
After hearing this, Bai Ze, the driver, couldn't stand it anymore and muttered, "Who would believe it? You're lucky enough not to bully others."
Feng Yuheng frowned and kicked Bai Ze: "Shut up, shut up! If you say anything more, I won't let you see Furong anymore."
Bai Ze lost his temper this time. He just shut up and concentrated on driving the car.
Xuan Tianming also asked her: "Who can bully you?"
Feng Yuheng twisted his clothes buttons with her little hands and said unhappily, "Anyway, there are a lot of people who bully me. Xuan Tianming, I miss you. I don't have any relatives anymore, only you. You can't bully me in the future, understand? If you bully me too, I will really be alone and there will be no meaning in living."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xuan Tianming glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense." But he also knew in his heart that although he was in the southern border, the things in the capital could not be hidden from his spies. He even knew clearly that Feng Jinyuan and others had disappeared and went to the south. He held the little girl in his arms tighter and patted her back gently, "What do you mean you have no relatives? You still have me, your father, and your mother. Isn't this a much better combination than before? You should be happy."
She smiled and looked up, her eyes still sparkling, but she answered him happily: "Yes, it's much better than before. Now that you are back, life is better. Xuan Tianming, the New Year is coming soon. I was worried that you would not be able to come back. I was thinking that if you could not make it back to Beijing during the New Year, I would go to the South Realm to find you. It would be nice if we met halfway and spent the Spring Festival together halfway."
He rubbed the girl's head lovingly and said lovingly, "I promised you that I would come back on New Year's Day, and I will never break my promise. Let's go." He loosened his arms and pulled the little girl into the carriage, "Accompany me to the palace."
Entering the palace again? She just came out of the palace!
Sure enough, this idea was not only held by Feng Yuheng, but also by the people in the palace! The two of them entered the palace and arrived at the Qiankun Palace. When they were still far away, someone had already reported to the palace that Zhang Yuan was waiting at the door early.
Because Tianwu's back was not in good condition, he did not move today and planned to rest in the back hall of Qiankun Palace at night. Now that he heard that Xuan Tianming was back, he was very happy and immediately started to prepare dinner in the imperial kitchen. He insisted that the couple stay in the palace to eat before leaving. As for the report about the Southern Realm that Xuan Tianming wanted to report, he talked about it while eating.
Xuan Tianming hadn't returned for several months, so naturally he wanted to talk to Tianwu for a while. Feng Yuheng stepped aside sensibly, and saw Zhang Yuan tugging at her sleeve and asked, "Princess, you've only been out for less than half an hour, and you're back so soon?"
Feng Yuheng stroked his forehead, "Yeah, if I had known earlier, I would have stayed at home."
That evening, the two of them had dinner together in the palace with Tianwu. Feng Yuheng looked at the table and thought it was like the New Year's Eve. There was not a single green on the table, only meat. She felt uncomfortable and could not eat. She looked at Zhang Yuan for help. Zhang Yuan spread his hands and whispered to her, "Everyone in the imperial kitchen said that the emperor has the final say now. If it was when the empress dowager was still alive, such a table would not be dared to be uploaded. I have advised him countless times, but the emperor is getting older and older, and his temper is getting more and more stubborn. I can't control him anymore. Alas!"
Zhang Yuan sighed, Feng Yuheng also sighed, and had to eat a few bites, while thinking about how to persuade Tianwu not to eat such meat. Who knew that before he could open his mouth, he saw the eunuch outside leading a palace maid in. The palace maid stood in front of Tianwu and bowed, then said word by word: "I am a servant of Yuehan Palace, and I am here to convey a message to the emperor on behalf of Concubine Yun. The queen said that she hates men who smell of meat the most in her life. I heard that the emperor only eats meat and not vegetables recently. The queen thinks that this meaty smell can be transmitted to Yuehan Palace from a long distance, and she smells sick. If the emperor insists on eating like this, she will move out of the palace and never want to come back!"
