Sir, please respect yourself
On the way back to the post station, Feng Chenyu, who was riding a horse, had a tense face and his lips pressed into a stiff line.
Didn’t we all win?
Why are you still looking so stern?
Fuyao felt completely confused.
Ma Sui followed Feng Chenyu into the house and brought the latest news.
"We have already started fighting with Xindong on the front line."
"I understand." Feng Chenyu replied softly.
Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Fuyao went out of the room and walked around.
As soon as I reached the corridor, I saw Feng Chenyu and Ma Su walking towards me with a sullen face.
As they passed each other, she gently tugged at the corner of Ma Su's clothes.
"What happened to your son?"
Before Ma Sui could speak, Feng Chenyu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around with a gloomy face.
"Why don't you just ask me?"
"Oh, I have something else to do."
Seeing this, Ma Su escaped.
Fuyao stayed where she was, her lips curled awkwardly.
"Then may I ask what happened, sir?"
"Are you curious or do you really care about me?"
As he spoke, Feng Chenyu suddenly walked towards Fuyao with an aggressive look in his eyes.
"oh."
Fuyao was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back and said with glaring eyes,
"Master Feng, this is the corridor."
She looked around uncomfortably.
But before she could react, Feng Chenyu pulled her to the corner.
"Do you like watching people dance with swords?"
He frowned with disdain in his tone.
Sword dancing?
What does this have to do with anything?
Fuyao looked up at him, confused.
Looking down at the slightly flickering eyes, Feng Chenyu instantly released his hand, then turned around and looked at the eaves not far away.
"I'm fine. I just heard that the Feng family army and Xindong went to war, and I was a little worried about my father and brother."
Looking at his muscular back, Fuyao suddenly felt that he was not so indestructible.
So he stepped forward to comfort her,
"General and the others will surely be blessed by heaven."
A week passed, and Minister Sun made several requests to meet with Emperor Ningbei, but was told that he had something to do and declined.
Fuyao was in the room with a lot on her mind. Several days had passed, but she didn't even have a chance to enter the palace.
After much thought, she decided to change into night clothes and go explore on her own.
Just as she left the post station, she saw Feng Chenyu, who was dressed in casual clothes, sitting on a stone outside the door, tilting his head and looking at her.
"Where are you going?"
Fuyao snorted lightly and pointed at the sky.
"I think the moonlight is beautiful tonight, so I'll go out and take a look."
“Oh, moon-viewing!”
He looked up and down at the girl in black with a half-smile.
"Then let's go together."
Then he pulled her forward without saying a word.
"Just leave, please don't touch me, Master Feng."
Fuyao pulled her arm out in dissatisfaction.
“I heard there’s a Qingxuan Street next to the posthouse, which is very lively at night.
We can go shopping together and enjoy the moon."
Feng Chenyu raised his hand meaningfully and pointed at the dark moon in the sky.
Fuyao lowered her head and frowned. This guy was really annoying sometimes.
It’s really annoying, the kind that you can’t get rid of!
Helplessly, she could only look up and force out a seemingly bright smile, "Young Master, you are so considerate!"
Walking down the street, looking at the various things on the roadside, Fuyao suddenly remembered the last time she went shopping with Shao Hansu, so she turned around and asked,
"Brother Shao, is he doing well in Yu'an?"
“I don’t know.”
Feng Chenyu replied dissatisfiedly, there are so many people who care about me every day.
His face turned from sunny to cloudy!
Fuyao couldn't help but roll her eyes and turned away from him.
As the two of them were wandering aimlessly, a greeting came from the side.
"Are you two used to living in Ningbei?"
Turning around, it was the man in plain clothes who danced with the sword that day.
Feng Chenyu hurried forward and blocked Fuyao behind him.
"Thank you for your concern."
"Don't be nervous, Master Feng. I mean no harm."
The man in plain clothes explained hurriedly, then turned to look at Fuyao.
"I have something to tell you, Princess Fuyao."
He spoke the second half of the sentence very softly, but the two people on the opposite side heard it clearly.
Fuyao was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.
"What is it?"
Feng Chenyu asked warily.
Now that he already knew, he felt there was no need to deny it.
"Don't worry, I'm not here on the emperor's orders, but on the orders of Princess Xisa."
The man in plain clothes said this as he walked towards a pavilion on the side of the road.
Feng Chenyu turned around and met Fuyao's gaze. After a brief silence, the two of them took a step forward and followed.
“My real name is Yu Chuang, and I’m an advisor to the emperor.
My father was once one of the guards of Princess Caesar."
As he said this, he turned his gaze towards Fuyao and smiled.
"I also met Princess Fuyao when I was a child."
"Get to the point."
Feng Chenyu said impatiently.
Yu Chuang lowered his head and laughed muffledly.
"Later, the emperor imprisoned the retired emperor and Princess Xisa, and Uncle Yu took Princess Fuyao and Lord Shangguan away overnight."
"Uncle Yu, do you know Uncle Yu too?"
Fuyao felt delighted.
"Princess, Uncle Yu is my father Yu Qi's younger brother."
Yu Chuang lowered his head and replied.
“Why should we trust you?”
Feng Chenyu frowned slightly.
"Ha ha."
Yu Chuang chuckled and took out a white jade pendant from his sleeve. The front was engraved with the princess's name, and the back was painted with pictures and texts representing the unique symbols of the Ningbei royal family.
Feng Chenyu lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant carefully. He had seen a similar jade pendant on the envoy sent by Ningbei to his country.
Finally, he looked at Fuyao and nodded slightly to her.
"Tomorrow our emperor will meet with the two envoys. Princess Xisa's maid will be waiting for Princess Fuyao outside the palace to take you to meet her."
After saying that, he handed a note to Fuyao and turned away.
When I opened the note, I saw that it said: My son Fuyao, your mother misses you.
The signature is a seal with Princess Caesar's name on it.
At that moment, Fuyao could no longer stop her eyes from moistening.
Feng Chenyu slowly walked forward and gently held her in his arms.
The next day, Fuyao got up very early, probably because her eyes were slightly swollen from crying yesterday.
Seeing her like this, Feng Chenyu said distressedly,
"You can sleep a little longer."
"I can't sleep."
Fuyao replied simply.
After breakfast, several people were invited into the palace, but this time Fuyao did not go with them.
Because not long after Feng Chenyu and the others entered the palace, she left in another carriage.
In Zhiluo Palace, Princess Xisa was anxiously waiting for her daughter.
"Princess, the little princess is here."
An old maid excitedly brought in Fuyao, who was dressed as a maid.
Princess Caesar, who had just been standing, suddenly lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. The maid beside her hurried forward to support her.
"Yao'er."
Princess Caesar called out softly and walked quickly towards her, but Fuyao, who had not yet recovered, stood there in a daze.
Slowly, she was embraced by Princess Caesar.
"Yao'er, I'm your mother."
Princess Caesar gently released her daughter from her arms, tears welling in her eyes.
“When your father took you away, you were still a baby.
I haven't seen you for many years. You have grown into a very beautiful person now.
I really want to thank Madam Feng. It seems she has taken good care of you."
Seeing that Fuyao didn't say anything and just looked at her with red eyes, Princess Xisa was a little anxious.
"Are you still blaming my mother?"
Fuyao looked at the beautiful woman who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had no wrinkles on her face.
She opened her mouth but was unable to utter the word "mother". She had long been accustomed to calling Mrs. Tong "mother".
Perhaps understanding her daughter's reaction, Princess Caesar said hurriedly,
"No rush."
In the hall, a group of court officials stood on both sides. Feng Chenyu and Sun Qian looked at the Ningbei Emperor on the throne.
"I've been quite busy these past few days, and I've neglected you two.
Yesterday I heard that the Feng family army and Xindong had already started fighting on the border."
"Yes."
Minister Sun looked up and replied.
Emperor Ningbei stood up gently and paced back and forth in front of the throne.
"What brings you two here this time?"
Minister Sun bowed and replied,
"Recently, someone from Ningbei has been deliberately causing trouble at the border between our two countries, disturbing our people."
"Oh, is that true?"
Emperor Ningbei turned and looked at the officials standing beside him.
At this time, an official stood up.
"I will go and verify this with the Military Supervisory Office."
"emperor."
Feng Chenyu, who had been quiet all the time, bowed.
"Oh, Deputy Envoy Feng, please speak."
Emperor Ningbei sat back on the throne.
"Xindong has already started a war with our country on the border, and everyone knows that Xindong has the evil ambition to annex the world.
Ningbei borders Yongxi on the left and Xindong on the right.
Although Xindong has always wanted to conquer the world, Yongxi's ambitions are no less small.
I believe that they would be happy to see any discord between Ningbei and our country.
Therefore, we should cooperate, seek mutual benefit, and jointly fight against them."
Emperor Ningbei chuckled and looked at the crowd below again.
"What do you think of what Deputy Envoy Feng said?"
Yu Chuang, who was standing aside, spoke up.
"I agree with Deputy Envoy Feng's statement."
As soon as these words were spoken, the officials in the hall echoed them.
In this way, they both reached an agreement not to deliberately provoke or harm each other's people or property.
Soldiers from all sides will never cross the line and will jointly resist any foreign enemies that may invade.
"Is your lily-of-the-valley here?"
Princess Caesar suddenly remembered something.
Fuyao nodded and hurriedly took out the jade hairpin from her waist.
"I just found out a few days ago that Li Shuo had sent people to hurt you multiple times just for the jade hairpin."
Princess Caesar's eyes turned red again as she spoke.
"Mother, I'm so sorry."
Fuyao shook his head slightly.
"I'm fine."
Princess Caesar turned the pearl at the end of the hairpin to one side a few times, and then took off the blue agate at the entire end of the hairpin.
She then pulled out a piece of paper from her hairpin and asked the nanny beside her to burn it.
"Why is that?"
Fuyao asked in surprise.
Princess Caesar sighed slowly and spoke,
“When the first Ningbei King founded the country, he discovered a place filled with rare treasures.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary commotion, he ordered the place to be sealed off.
At the same time, a map was drawn and placed in this jade hairpin for future use."
Princess Caesar lowered her head and thought briefly,
"I originally let you take this jade hairpin with me because I thought that one day in the future, when you grow up and come back, we can take back this country.
But in recent years, I have found that Li Shuo has done a good job, is supported by the people, and the country has developed steadily.
Although my father and I were imprisoned at the beginning, we were treated with courtesy.
So I think it doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor.
And after all these years, I've seen through all the ups and downs, and I hope you can be an ordinary person and live a peaceful and comfortable life."
