The person standing under a tree not far away came forward and said, "Fang'er!"
Wu Fangzi's face instantly broke into a brilliant smile: "Brother Liangchou, you're here!" She boldly pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Why don't you go to the palace... My mother insisted on taking me to the palace! I haven't seen you for such a long time!"
Yan Liangchou gave a bitter smile and said sadly: "Why would they ask me to go to the palace..."
Wu Fangzi was immediately furious: "They are suppressing you again, right?! What female prime minister, what duke, they are just some jealous villains! They don't even let you go to the palace, they just want you to not even get close to the saints! This method is really disgusting!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yan Liangchou muttered, "That's not the case. It's just... it's just that my team didn't get the lottery!"
"How can there be so many coincidences! Every time it's just a coincidence!" Wu Fangzi said anxiously: "You are just too kind-hearted and don't care about anything! That's why they bully you like this!"
Yan Shichou pursed his lips, avoiding her gaze, and said after a while: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
Wu Fangzi suddenly felt a little guilty.
How could she care about his awkward status? Others didn't know, but how could she not know his difficulties?
So he said anxiously: "Okay."
...
...
Yan Liangchou smiled, his eyes full of tenderness under the moonlight: "Fang'er, is it fun in the palace?"
Wu Fangzi said in a tender voice, "There's nothing fun to do. You're not there. I just want to come back early."
Yan Liangchou asked, "I heard that the prince presented a magical rice seed?"
"Yes!" Wu Fangzi laughed, "Speaking of this, it's really funny. Did you know that the day happened to be August 15th? The emperor said he wanted to celebrate Yan Shiyue's birthday, but in the end, there was not even a bowl of longevity noodles... And in the end, the prince presented the new grain seeds, which stole the limelight. You don't know, I heard that she was drunk at the time, and she pretended to be crazy and made a scene. It was really funny..."
Yan Liangchou listened with a smile.
Wu Fangzi finished speaking before she said, "Well, why don't you talk?"
Yan Liangchou smiled and said, "I like to hear you talk." He took her hand and sat down on the bluestone next to him: "Talk more, I want to listen."
Wu Fangzi was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's nothing, it's quite boring. But I heard that the capital is quite lively, and there is also the Caiyi Society..."
The two chatted for a long time.
Yan Liangchou whispered, "Are you going to participate in the talent show?"
"Yes," Wu Fangzi whispered, "But don't worry, I definitely won't ask anyone to choose me! I have a way!"
Yan Liangchou seemed unable to restrain his emotions. He raised his hand and gently touched her temples. "Fang'er, you are so beautiful. If you were to enter the palace, you would be favored for life. Why do you have to do this for me? I am just a useless person who has accomplished nothing..."
"I don't allow you to say that!" She hurriedly covered his mouth and said sternly, "What do you think of me when you say that? I... since I've promised you, I won't care about the emperor or the prince!"
Yan Liangchou seemed a little surprised and smiled: "I will never let you down."
Wu Fangzi slowly leaned on his shoulder and said shyly, "Yeah."
The two of them leaned against each other for a long time. Yan Liangchou looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late." He held her hand tightly and said, "Fang'er, stay with me for a while longer, okay?"
"Okay," Wu Fangzi whispered, "My parents aren't home, so I'll go..."
She was suddenly stunned: "Isn't today your grandfather's birthday? Why are you..."
She suddenly stood up and looked at him in disbelief: "They didn't even invite you to my grandfather's birthday? What the hell is this! How can they treat me like this!"
"It's okay, it's really okay." Yan Liangchou whispered, "I prefer you to be with me." He smiled at her, "Don't you like it?"
Seeing his lonely face, she felt very distressed and held his hand tightly: "I like it, don't worry, I will always be with you."
They were so absorbed in the moment that they forgot the time, until they heard the sound of the carriage from the Marquis's mansion from afar.
Wu Fangzi jumped up anxiously and said, "I'll go back first!"
She ran two steps and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get justice!"
As he said this, he ran back home quickly.
As soon as Wu Gang and Gao entered, they saw her standing in front of the second door waiting. Gao smiled and said, "Fang'er is still awake?"
Wu Fangzi came over with a smile and said playfully, "I was afraid that Daddy would get drunk again like last time, so I came to check on him."
Wu Gang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Daddy knows what's going on!" He paused and said, "Besides, I won't get drunk in an occasion like today."
"Why?" Wu Fangzi asked with a smile, "Is there no wine in Prince An's Mansion?"
Seeing that Wu Gang didn't answer, she went to shake Gao's hand again: "Mother?"
Gao really loved her.
Although this one was a bastard's son, the sickly one was actually raised in her presence. Later, after he died, the child was registered under her name, so he was no different from her biological son.
Gao smiled and said, "The old prince is a generous man, but Yan Chengyuan is not good at socializing, so in this kind of occasion, everyone usually just performs their duties politely and that's it."
Wu Fangzi asked: "And what about Yan Shiyue?"
Gao smiled and said, "Although His Highness is at the women's table, he doesn't drink and doesn't like to chat with us. He just goes through the motions."
Wu Fangzi lowered her eyes: "There are others."
"Hmm," Gao also remembered and asked Wu Gang, "Come to think of it, doesn't Yan Chengyuan have two adopted sons?"
Wu Fangzi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and even her arms around Gao tightened, but Gao didn't notice.
Wu Gang nodded.
Gao said, "One is Yan Shirong, who is your highness's elder brother from the common people. The other is Yan Liangchou... But even Yan Shirong, who was thousands of miles away, sent gifts. Why didn't Yan Liangchou, who was said to be in the capital, send any gifts or show up?"
Wu Fangzi couldn't help but said, "How can he go if no one calls him?"
"Stupid!" Wu Gang scolded, "He is a junior and a family member. He doesn't take the initiative to go, but needs to be invited! He didn't even show up on his elders' birthday. At best, he is ignorant, and at worst, he has no conscience!"
"Dad!" Wu Fangzi said, "How do you know he doesn't want to go? Maybe they didn't ask him to go? Yan Shiyue has a grudge against him!"
"No!" Wu Gang said, "Yan Chengyuan and the Prime Minister are not that kind of people."
"You, what do you know!" She felt that she knew the truth, but she couldn't say it out loud. She stamped her feet anxiously, "You know nothing! That Yan Shiyue is actually a sinister villain! He is two-faced and will take revenge for any slight!"
"What nonsense!" Wu Gang said angrily, "Shut up! Do you want to kill our whole family?"
"To put it bluntly, you're just scared!" Wu Fangzi glanced at him contemptuously, turned around and left.
She should have known long ago that these officials in the court were all such spineless people, fawning before power, pretending to be ignorant even though they knew the truth. They knew clearly that it was unfair and clearly knew what she had done, but since it had nothing to do with them, they pretended not to know. No one would speak out to cause trouble for themselves, and no one would stand up for him.
He is such a gentle and kind man, but he was bullied so badly...Wu Fangzi lay on the pillow, tears falling.
She thought secretly, feeling a little proud in her heart.
Brother Liangchou, don't worry, they are afraid of her, but I am not! I will definitely help you vent your anger...
I will ruthlessly reject their phoenix eggs in front of everyone. I will make them understand that even if they hold high positions and power, in the eyes of others, they are just a pile of unwanted mud. You are the clouds in the sky and the branch in the moon!
