1348 Letting go, the mystery of life story begins to emerge
Feng Qingchen was very disappointed. There was no family letter or gift in the jade box. There was only a black token in the jade box. It was plain, but it had the grandeur and preciousness of a history. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary thing.
Although she knew that this token was a very valuable item, Feng Qingchen still couldn't help feeling sad, because this token was not the coming-of-age gift her father had prepared for her.
However, thinking that this token was the last gift his father left him, Feng Qingchen felt a little relieved.
It's better than nothing.
Feng Qingchen took a deep breath, put away the disappointment in his heart, and took out the token.
The token was not big, about the same size as the jade pendant usually hung around the waist, but the material of the token was a bit special, and it actually felt slightly hot when held in the palm of the hand.
The token is round with a small hole on the top and a phoenix pattern engraved on one side. The phoenix looks alive and seems to be able to fly out at any time.
On the other side was a word written in a flamboyant style. As for what word it was, please forgive Feng Qingchen for her lack of knowledge and knowledge. She really couldn't recognize it. She couldn't even tell what the font was. She could only vaguely tell that it was a word.
If it weren't for this token, which is obviously an antique, Feng Qingchen would have guessed that this was the coming-of-age gift her father prepared for her. The phoenix pattern is her surname, and the character may also be the one her father gave her.
Unfortunately, these are Feng Qingchen's extravagant wishes. This token is not a gift prepared by her father for her, but something from their family, perhaps representing her or her father's identity.
Feng Qingchen looked at the token in his hand carefully, his eyes becoming more profound, and he remembered the words again: "My daughter is born noble, even the dragons and phoenixes in the world are inferior to her."
Originally, she thought this was just a silly father who cherished his daughter and thought his daughter was the most noble. Now it seems that he really has an idea. Maybe her father really has an extraordinary background.
You know, not everyone can wear the Phoenix. When her father was at the critical moment of life and death, the things he asked his confidant to bring out must be related to the Phoenix family.
"Is the Feng family a big family? But I have never heard of any famous family with the surname Feng." Feng Qingchen stroked the token, thinking about the families she knew, but she couldn't find any family related to "Feng".
The only one related to "Phoenix" is the Feng Li clan that the Ninth Prince always talks about, but Feng Qingchen rejected it immediately after just thinking about it.
If her father was really a descendant of Feng Li, how could he be a general in Dongling? How could he say without any scruples and carelessness that his last name was Feng?
The emperors of the four countries were determined to kill Feng Li and the descendants of the Lan family. If my father was really a descendant of Feng Li and had an extraordinary status, he would definitely be protected by his clansmen. How could he become an orphan?
"How could I be related to the Fengli clan? The Fengli clan was a great clan of the previous dynasty, not inferior to the royal family. If my father and I were really from the Fengli clan, how could the emperors of the four countries let my father go? How could the Fengli people ignore my father and me?" Feng Qingchen held the token and kept shaking his head, denying this speculation.
You can't blame Feng Qingchen for avoiding it. It's just that the surname Feng Li is too heavy for her. Carrying the responsibility of the Feng family is tiring enough for her. If she is a descendant of Feng Li, then...
Inevitably, she stood on the opposite side of the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities. Even if she was willing, the emperors of the Four Kingdoms would not let her go. Even for her own sake, she had to fight the Four Kingdoms and Nine Cities to the end.
Although she knew the Ninth Prince's plan and had always tried her best to do what she could for him, this did not mean that she was willing to stand against the four countries.
Doing this as Feng Qingchen was her ambition. She was alone, so it was not a big deal even if she failed. But doing this as Feng Li's descendant was just a responsibility, and she could not afford to lose the responsibility of carrying the family.
Feng Qingchen closed her eyes and told herself again that she had nothing to do with the Fengli clan. If her father was really a descendant of Fengli, he would never have become a general of Dongling.
"This is just an ordinary token. Maybe the Feng family is some large hidden family, but it is unknown to outsiders." Feng Qingchen comforted herself in this way, but she was still a little hesitant in her heart. She secretly blamed the Ninth Prince for telling her about the past dynasty every day, causing her to think of the Fengli clan when she saw the token with the word Feng on it.
Although Feng Qingchen did not consider herself to be the descendant of Feng Li, and this token had nothing to do with Feng Li, to be on the safe side, Feng Qingchen did not plan to wear the token on her body. Instead, she placed it in a smart medical bag together with the wooden box left to her by her mother.
Looking at these two items lying there quietly, Feng Qingchen was very satisfied. No matter what it was, as long as it was given to her by her parents, she liked it, even if it meant carrying a heavy responsibility.
Well, if she is really related to the Fengli clan, then she will never evade her own responsibilities. She will accept everything her parents give her. Anyway, what the Ninth Prince is planning is not inconsistent with what the Fengli clan wants to do. Qingchen said silently in his heart.
However, it was too early for her to think about all this. A token alone could not mean anything. Even if she was really the descendant of Feng Li, she had to find the Feng Li clan members to confirm it. It would only be a waste of time to let her have wild thoughts now.
Whether she was born noble or of ordinary origin, she is Feng Qingchen. She has to walk her own path in the future. The surname Feng Li cannot bring her any benefits.
Feng Qingchen let out a breath, adjusted her mood, and stopped thinking about it. What she had to think about now was to find something to replace the token.
Although not many people knew that Marshal Si gave her the jade box, if someone was interested, it would be found out eventually. She didn't want to get into trouble over such a matter.
Although she couldn't be sure whether the token was related to the Fengli clan, she was certain that the token could not be exposed to the light, otherwise her father would not be so careful.
The things put into the jade box were not difficult to find. Since Marshal Si said that her father had said that the jade box would be given to her after she reached the age of 15, then it could be said that it was the coming-of-age gift that her father had found for her.
The things inside just need to be special and exquisite, they don't need to be expensive. However, considering that it was sealed with a jade box, Feng Qingchen thought of the snow lotus in Beiling. It is absolutely reasonable to put fresh snow lotus into the jade box.
"But where can I get the snow lotus?" Feng Qingchen was worried again. However, there was no rush. No one would ask about the jade box in the short term, and she still had time to find the snow lotus.
Snow lotus is only found in Beiling and it blooms every winter. So she will prepare to go to Beiling this year. The scar on her back also needs snow lotus as medicine. As a woman, even if she doesn't care much about beauty, she doesn't want to live with a scar.
Now that everything has been figured out, Feng Qingchen is no longer worried. Her psychological endurance is not bad. She had been rejecting the Fengli clan before just because she thought it was troublesome. But if she really had to get involved with the Fengli clan, Feng Qingchen could not escape. After all, this was the blood her father gave her, and she could not and would not give it up.
Feng Qingchen packed up his things and put the jade box into the smart medical bag. It would be better not to take out the jade box until the snow lotus was found.
After cleaning up the table, Feng Qingchen walked out. She seemed to have heard the servants say something like "Zuo An"...
