No choice
Prince Consort?
Fu Yao thought she had misheard. Could it be that he was Princess Jinru's husband, a man who looked mediocre and lustful?
This person was Xie Rentang, the son of Xie Jin, the governor of Northwest China, and the consort of Princess Jinru.
Xie Rentang let go of his hand unhappily.
"What I do is none of your business!"
"How can the prince consort do this!"
Feng Chenyu's face was extremely ugly, and it was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.
"Princess Jinru is already married to you, why don't you stay home with her and make trouble here?"
"Accompany her?"
Xie Rentang looked sarcastic.
"Have you ever seen a woman who wouldn't let her husband touch her?
Rather than saying I married a wife, it would be better to say I married the Queen Mother to worship!"
"Then you should also reflect on why the princess won't let you touch her!"
Fu Yao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but retort to him that she had experience in this.
“Who are you?
How dare you interfere in my affairs!"
Xie Rentang raised his hand and pointed at Fuyao.
With a thud, Xie Rendang was kicked to the ground by Feng Chenyu.
He was lying on the ground, looking up angrily.
"How dare you hit this prince consort!"
In the inner hall, Xie Rentang covered his bruised face with his hands and cried.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
I didn't expect him to be so weak. Feng Chenyu just kicked him once, but he fell and hit his face.
After hearing what they said, the official stood up from his seat in anger.
"Is this true for Deputy Feng Shu?"
Feng Chenyu nodded and said loudly,
“He is the prince consort and has just been married to the princess.
He, Xie Rentang, doesn't know how to keep himself clean and even went to Zilin Garden to do some shameful things!"
"Only you are allowed to go, no one else is allowed to go."
Xie Rentang tilted his head to refute.
Seeing this, Fuyao bowed hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, it was all because of my curiosity that I asked him to take me to Zilin Garden."
"curious?"
The official looked at her in anger as she was dressed in men's clothes and said helplessly,
"You really are Shangguan Xuan's daughter. You do things differently than ordinary people!"
As they were talking, Concubine Feng and Princess Jinru hurried into the hall.
"Please calm down, sir!"
The noble concubine bowed,
"Chen Yu was just reckless for a moment."
Jinru, who was standing aside, just glanced at her husband lightly without saying a word.
The official then waved his hands in annoyance.
"Well, let's end this matter here.
Feng Chenyu, you, as the Deputy Privy Councilor and Grand General, actually assaulted the current imperial consort. I punish you by confining yourself to your room to reflect on your mistakes. Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to leave your home for three days."
Then he rolled his eyes at Jie Rentang who was kneeling on the ground.
"As the prince consort, you are forbidden to go to this place of entertainment again. You are forbidden to do anything that would bring disgrace upon the royal family or harm Princess Jinru."
After leaving the inner hall, Xie Rendang left in a hurry.
"How could you be so reckless!"
In Feiwei Palace, Jinru, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
Feng Chenyu, who was sitting, looked up at her without saying anything.
"The Prince Consort should teach him a lesson."
The person she thought would teach her a lesson actually affirmed Feng Chenyu's behavior. Concubine Feng looked at her daughter with some heartache.
Jinru lowered her head and smiled.
"Why dirty your hands for such a person?"
Fuyao saw a flash of contempt on her face and couldn't help but be surprised by her reaction.
After chatting for a while, Feng Chenyu and Fu Yao left together in the princess's carriage.
In the carriage, Fuyao looked at the silent Jinru worriedly from time to time.
"Sister, do you have anything to say?"
Jinru turned her head and looked at her with a smile.
"I was not present at the princess's wedding."
Fuyao spoke.
“We don’t have to get hung up on these little details.
And although my sister appears serious on the surface, she actually admires you very much.
Before entering the palace, my sister was also a free-spirited person and had great martial arts skills."
Jinru paused, thinking.
"She and the emperor were in love, and she later helped him, but she had to be careful with her words and actions after entering the palace.
Fortunately, although she is not the queen now, the emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, but he still cares about her kindness.
I don’t know if she ever regretted it.”
Then she said concernedly,
"Are you feeling better?"
Fuyao nodded slightly.
"Then you two must work harder and make another little man quickly. I can't wait!"
Jinru laughed out loud after she finished speaking.
Fuyao wanted to comfort her, but was made to feel ashamed by her joke.
Feng Chenyu turned his head and looked at Fuyao with a face full of affection.
"Oh my, even the water in Jiulongtan is not as affectionate as you!"
Jinru couldn't help but complain about Feng Chenyu.
"Are you doing well in Jie Mansion?"
Feng Chenyu turned around.
Jin Ru said with a smile,
“What’s wrong with that?
Now I have some free time, no one is watching me, and most importantly, I have left that place of trouble.
I am one step closer to the life I long for."
After returning to the general's residence, Fuyao walked into the bedroom in silence.
"Still thinking about the princess."
Feng Chenyu pushed the door and walked in.
"It's obvious that Xie Rentang is not a good person."
Fuyao, who was looking out the window, turned back with contempt in her tone.
"As children of the royal family, we have never been able to choose our own marriages.
Although Jie Le no longer had real power, he was serving far away in Lingnan.
But he still has a group of supporters behind him, so the government has no choice but to do so.”
There was a hint of sadness in Feng Chenyu's words.
"However, Jinru has been accustomed to the open and secret struggles in the palace since she was a child, and ordinary people cannot easily hurt her.
Besides, she had always longed to stay away from the palace, and now she was finally satisfied.
As for love, she always seemed to take it lightly.
She even felt sorry for her aunt before, but everyone has their own choices."
As he spoke, Feng Chenyu gently held Fuyao's hands and lowered his head to meet her charming eyes.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, as long as she is happy."
Fuyao nodded.
"You've been sentenced to three days of confinement, so this is a good opportunity to take a break."
Feng Chenyu stepped forward and held her in his arms.
"I think so, but you have to accompany me.
If you hadn't gone to Zilin Garden, I wouldn't have been punished."
"How stingy."
Fuyao couldn't help but curl her lips.
Letting go of her, Feng Chenyu took out a box from his waist and handed it to her.
"Open it and take a look."
Fuyao took it and was surprised when she opened the box.
"Isn't this the hairpin you bought in Ganzhou before?"
Feng Chenyu smiled and lowered his head, took it out of the box and pinned it on her bun.
Fuyao raised his head,
"Isn't this a gift for someone else?"
"No one else came here. This was meant for you."
Feng Chenyu had a smile in his eyes.
"Then why give it now?"
She was puzzled.
Feng Chenyu was silent for a moment.
"Because my mother-in-law said at the beginning that she hoped you would stay away from the court and live a simple and happy life.
But this is something I cannot give, so I did not send it out.”
“Is that so?”
Fuyao suddenly realized,
"That's why you became so close to Cao Wei later."
"Close?"
Feng Chenyu frowned.
"Is there?"
"I want to go."
Fuyao pushed him away without any hesitation and walked towards the table.
But just as she took a step, she was hugged from behind.
"So from that moment on, you became jealous."
"You wish."
Fuyao is stubborn.
"I have something more beautiful in mind."
As he spoke, Feng Chenyu picked her up by the waist and walked straight to the bed.
Fuyao, who was placed on the bed, struggled with dissatisfaction.
"It's still daytime, do you have any shame?"
Feng Chenyu, who was lowering his head to kiss her neck, replied vaguely,
"I only want you."
Then he began to take off his servant's clothes without caring about anything. Fuyao's dissatisfied voice gradually melted in his enthusiasm.
During the days of house arrest, except for meal times, Fuyao was always kept in the bedroom by Feng Chenyu and did not go out.
Finally, Feng Chenyu went out to do some business, and Fuyao finally had time to visit the store.
As soon as she entered the store, she saw Shao Hansu standing there talking to Xian Ning, so she happily went forward.
"Brother Shao, why are you here?"
Shao Hansu turned around and saw her walking towards him quickly.
"I came here to accompany the princess."
As he said this, he pointed to Xiao Wenjie who was carefully selecting eggplant bags on the side.
"Princess."
Fuyao said politely.
Xiao Wenjie turned around and smiled,
"Sister Fuyao, it's been a while since we last met."
"Whatever eggplant bag you want, I can help you choose."
Fuyao said as she walked forward.
Xiao Wenjie thought for a moment.
"I want to give it to a man. His birthday is coming soon."
Hearing this, Fuyao took out a light grey eggplant bag embroidered with lotus patterns from the cabinet.
"This style is elegant and simple, symbolizing a person's noble character and can also be used as a metaphor for loyal love."
After seeing off the princess and Shao Hansu, Fuyao curiously wondered about their relationship.
I have seen the two of them traveling together more than once. When did they become so close?
After finishing his work and returning to the Privy Council, Feng Chenyu saw Ma Chong standing in front of the table.
"What is it?"
Ma Chong raised his hand and handed over the eggplant bag on the table.
"This is Princess Xiao's birthday gift to you. She just sat here for a while and left before you returned.
But she said, "You can open the eggplant bag after you get home."
Birthday gift!
Feng Chenyu then remembered that his birthday was coming soon.
"oh."
He responded softly.
Because he hadn't been out for a few days, it was already a little late when Feng Chenyu finished his business and returned home.
He then remembered the eggplant bag, opened it and found a note and a small bottle inside.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and found some mercury inside.
When I opened the note again, I found the word "Hunter" written on it.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but frown.
mercury?
hunter?
Could it be that the person who killed his father and brother was the seemingly harmless Donggong?
Since they were young, he, His Highness, and Princess Xiao often played together.
Once, several people were vying to talk about their dreams.
Feng Chenyu said that he wanted to be a general on the battlefield in the future and defend his country like his father.
Princess Xiao said that she wanted to become a teacher and only accept female students, hoping that women could enter school as legitimately as men.
His Highness said that he wanted to be a hunter because he particularly loved hunting.
He always thought that the mastermind behind this incident was Zuo Xiang, but they were all family.
The hand holding the bottle tightened due to anger.
The door of the study opened and Fuyao walked in.
Because I heard that Feng Chenyu has returned, which shows that he has not left his study yet, so I came to see him.
When she came in, she saw him looking down in a daze.
"Why are you thinking so seriously?"
Feng Chenyu looked up,
"You're back."
Fuyao glanced at the eggplant bag on the table and was shocked.
"I've been back for a long time."
"oh."
Feng Chenyu stood up and put the bottle and the note into the drawer of the bookcase.
"Where did you get this eggplant bag?"
Fuyao reached out and picked it up, looking at it admiringly.
"Someone gave it to me."
Feng Chenyu answered casually.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is embroidered with a lotus flower.
It signifies a person's noble character or unwavering affection."
Fuyao said while staring at Feng Chenyu.
"Besides, it's such a personal item, so the person who gave it to you is probably familiar to you."
"I see."
Feng Chenyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes filled with smiles.
"That's why you gave Shao Han a bag of crispy eggplant."
Hearing this, Fuyao put the eggplant bag back on the table with a serious expression.
"Brother Shao and I are not what you think. Only if someone has something on their mind would they criticize others like this."
Then he walked away.
