578 Imperial City, I, Feng Qingchen, am back again

With the Ninth Prince around, Feng Qingchen didn't feel tired even though she was traveling day and night. She didn't have to worry about the trivial matters along the way. She only needed to focus on recuperating, and when she was bored, she would read the medical books that the Ninth Prince had collected for her.

When the Ninth Prince really wants to spend time and effort to pamper someone, he can pamper that person to the extreme, praise them to the heavens, and make you forget who you are.

It would be a lie to say that she was not touched, but Feng Qingchen did not indulge in the Ninth Prince's doting, thinking that the Ninth Prince would ignore his business and everything in the imperial city for her.

Feng Qingchen didn't turn a page of the medical book in his hand for a long time. His eyes were on the book, but his thoughts were flying far away.

She knew very well that the Ninth Prince was not a man who would indulge in love affairs and forget his identity and responsibilities. The Ninth Prince really loved her, but he also had other purposes. The Ninth Prince was a man who was good at taking advantage of the situation.

If Feng Qingchen was still unsure before, when she saw the words "Millennium Snow Lotus", she couldn't help but think about it.

It was obvious that the Ninth Prince was going to confront Xuanxiao Palace. When the Ninth Prince destroyed Xuan Fei's face, he must have already thought of how to plan.

Her face, which is similar to Xuan Fei's, may also be one of her powerful weapons in the confrontation, otherwise the Ninth Prince would not have bothered to do anything and would not have killed Xuan Fei directly, but would have destroyed her face first.

The Ninth Prince and Xuanxiao Palace had already been fighting, and the first round had already begun. The battlefield was the Dongling Imperial City. When Feng Qingchen knew that the two had chosen Dongling Imperial City for the first round, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is her main battlefield, and she has the advantage anyway, so let Xuanxiao Palace come over!

The Ninth Prince sat opposite Feng Qingchen. Seeing Feng Qingchen lowering his brows in thought, he was very satisfied.

The woman he likes will never get carried away by a little favor, nor will she be without her own considerations. Such a Feng Qingchen is very good and saves him a lot of trouble.

He knew that even if some things were not said, Feng Qingchen would understand and cooperate well. In some ways, they were the same kind of people.

Three days later, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen returned to the Imperial City on the first snow in Dongling. The Crown Prince had already brought the guard of honor to greet them at the city gate.

The city gates were under martial law, and civilians were prohibited from entering or leaving. Both sides of the street were lined with guards with swords, one every three steps, looking very imposing.

You have to know that the Ninth Prince went out to suppress bandits and returned with a full load. No matter what, the Ninth Prince has made a contribution and he deserves this honor.

The prince was wearing court robes and a snow-white fox fur cloak. Even standing at the snow-covered city gate, he was extremely eye-catching.

To paraphrase Feng Qingchen, this is a living target. If there is an assassin, he can find the target with his eyes closed.

As soon as the Ninth Prince's carriage stopped, the Crown Prince led a group of civil and military officials forward and said, "Nephew respectfully welcomes the Emperor's uncle back to the court."

"Welcome the Ninth Prince back to the court!" Except for the guards and the prince on both sides, everyone else knelt down one by one, waiting for the Ninth Prince to get off the car.

Even though the snow was falling, the Ninth Prince was still dressed in casual clothes. The close-fitting clothes did not make him look bloated at all, and the black cloak made him look more calm and serious.

The Ninth Prince got off the carriage, but did not let everyone get up. Instead, he turned sideways and helped Feng Qingchen get off the carriage.

A month ago, Feng Qingchen suddenly disappeared from the imperial city. Then the Ninth Prince left Beijing in a high-profile manner and rushed to Yishui City to suppress bandits. No one would believe that there is no connection between the two.

The outside world does not know what exactly happened. They only know that the Ninth Prince and the Emperor joined forces and, during this month, used thundering means to cleanse the harem and some places of all kinds of people, and pulled out the hidden nails of the major families.

Not only that, countless people died at the hands of Prince Su's guards and Bu Jingyun this month, and these were the potential forces of the major families.

In other words, due to Feng Qingchen's disappearance, the major families and powerful people suffered heavy losses. No one dared to blame the emperor and the ninth uncle, so they had to blame Feng Qingchen.

When Feng Qingchen returned to the imperial city this time, many things were different in the imperial city. This was her first appearance after leaving Beijing for a month. It was not so much that the Ninth Prince wanted this scene, but rather that he wanted it for Feng Qingchen. He wanted Feng Qingchen to return to Beijing in glory and let those people see clearly that Feng Qingchen was no pushover.

In fact, Feng Qingchen is indeed very successful. At least after today, there are few women in the entire Jiuzhou Continent who are not jealous of her.

Feng Qingchen held the Ninth Prince's hand and got off the carriage, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

She was wearing a fiery red long skirt, a phoenix hairpin adorned with bright gemstones, and even a cloak of the same color. She looked like a ball of flame, gorgeous and flamboyant, like a peony blooming in the snow, making the surrounding snow look dull.

In the entire imperial city, only Feng Qingchen could carry off such an outfit. The moment she got off the carriage, her cloak flew up, and she was like a soaring phoenix, graceful and elegant. Her beautiful eyes were full of glances, telling everyone in the imperial city in a high-profile manner: she, Feng Qingchen, is back, and she has returned in a strong and high-profile manner.

The Ninth Prince waited until Feng Qingchen stood firmly before speaking coldly and asking everyone to stand up. At the same time, he let go of Feng Qingchen's hand and walked side by side with Feng Qingchen.

One black, one red, one tall, one short. There is probably no other pair in the world that is as well matched as this. They ignored everyone's gazes and scrutiny, walked with elegant and noble steps, leaving footprints of the same depth on the snow...

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen used this method to silently tell everyone that even though Feng Qingchen had been missing for a month, Feng Qingchen's position in the Ninth Prince's heart had not changed. Feng Qingchen was still Feng Qingchen, and she was still the same now as before.

In the teahouse, Nanling Jinfan and a woman in a blue jacket stood by the window and took in the whole scene. Only when the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen got into their sedan chairs did they look away.

"Su Rou, she is your enemy. Your sister has already disappointed me. If you disappoint me again, don't blame me for being rude. I can give you a name, but I can also destroy you." Nanling Jinfan and Nanling Jinxing had been fighting in Nanling for several months and finally suppressed Nanling Jinxing's limelight. Nanling Jinfan was in a good mood, so he came to Dongling again.

This time he came to Dongling to send the girl from the Su family to compete with Feng Qingchen in horse riding and archery.

After Su Wan was injured, the Ninth Prince announced the suspension of the competition and told the Su family at the same time that, in order to prevent them from accusing Dong Ling of bullying, he would allow them to send another woman to compete.

The Su family picked out the eighth daughter from among all the concubines, who was both good-looking and scheming, and named her Su Rou.

Except for the legitimate daughter, the other women in the Su family only have rankings but no names. In the Su family, daughters are all tools, but the legitimate daughter is more valuable, so the legitimate daughter is treated well and educated well, while the concubine's daughter is slightly inferior.

Su Rou was able to stand out from the dozen concubines of the Su family, so she must be an outstanding person. Her talent and bearing may not be as outstanding as Su Wan, but her scheming is beyond Su Wan's reach.

Su Rou is graceful and lovely, always with a humble and friendly smile on her face, and her eyes are clean and clear, just like an ignorant girl, innocent and pure, which makes it easy for people to let down their guard, so Nanling Jinfan chose her.

A woman with outstanding looks and gentleness can at least be used as a beauty trap. The flowers that Su Wan grows are for people to pick.

Su Rou was also practical. After hearing what Nanling Jinfan said, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. Rou'er will definitely live up to your expectations."

Su Rou was able to stand out from all the concubines, and she was not bad. Compared with the pampered Su Wan, Su Rou knew how to survive better, and knew how to fight against a strong and arrogant woman like Feng Qingchen...
