Cheng Xu frowned, came back to his senses, and looked at her: "Now you don't know what the rules are anymore."
Xu Fengruo said with a smile: "Feng Ruo is so scared, how could the prince have such an idea?"
Cheng Xu still looked at her with a frown and said nothing for a long time.
Xu Fengruo looked calm and allowed herself to be looked at.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Cheng Xu asked with an unhappy expression, "What secrets are you hiding?"
Xu Fengruo lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "What secret can I have? The Xu family is a small family, and I am not a domineering and public person. I have always been cautious in doing things. Maybe the prince has misunderstood me."
The street was bustling with people, and Cheng Xu didn't know what to say. He took a deep look at Xu Fengruo and said, "I hope so."
Xu Fengmi took Cheng Jingrang to the moat.
It was windy and cold by the river, so there weren't many people.
Xu Fengmi shook the lantern in her hand. She smiled and turned to look at Cheng Jingrang: "You put a lot of effort into it, right?"
Cheng Jingrang took the lantern with a smile: "As long as you like it."
He winked at Xiaokui, who then stepped forward and handed the stove to Xu Fengmi.
Xu Fengmi took it and held the stove in both hands, keeping them warm.
The two walked away from their entourage and walked slowly side by side to the lawn by the river.
"Once the Lantern Festival is over, I'm afraid you will be busy again." Xu Fengmi sighed: "After you and I get married, is it possible that you will be like this now, invisible?"
Cheng Jing smiled and looked down at the lantern in his hand and said, "Not to mention the days after the Lantern Festival and the first few days of the new year, things have gradually become busier. Today is a break from the busy schedule."
"After you get married, you will naturally have to let go of some official duties and let others handle them, and I will spend more time with you."
Xu Fengmi smiled: "Cheng Xu is the king of Zhennan, when will he go to the south?"
She didn't really want to see Cheng Xu and Xu Fengruo. If they could stay away from her, she would be able to sit back and relax.
Cheng Jingyi said: "It's peaceful in the south. I'm afraid Jiayan will stay in the capital for a while longer."
He glanced sideways at Xu Fengmi and said, "You want him to leave?"
"That's all, I'm just asking."
The two walked slowly on the lawn, not looking like lovers, but like old friends who have known each other for many years.
Xu Fengmi also feels this way.
She often felt that staying with Cheng Jingrang was like talking to a calm, reserved but mature and smart friend.
"Why did the matter between Li Yue and Chu Lian happen so suddenly?" Xu Fengmi raised her lips when talking about this matter: "Li Yue didn't see anything, but Chu Lian was full of resistance."
Cheng Jingrang: "He came to me to ask for this marriage. In the evening, I went to the palace and took care of it for him."
Xu Fengmi was surprised: "It was Li Yue who begged him personally? How come he came to you? He should go to the empress."
Cheng Jingrang took a deep look at her: "It is more useful to seek help from me than from the Queen. Miss Ruan is the Queen's niece, but the Queen has selfish motives and does not want to bring about this couple."
"Why?"
"The Queen and Princess Luyang have some disagreements."
Xu Fengmi raised his eyebrows: "But after Chu Lian and Li Yue get married, they will still live in the princess mansion with Li Yue. Since you said that the eldest princess Luyang and the queen are at odds, isn't Chu Lian a sheep in a tiger's mouth?
With the status of mother-in-law, Princess Luyang doesn’t know how she will teach her."
"You have underestimated Li Yue." Cheng Jingrang said calmly: "He is not an ordinary person. Princess Luyang and him do not have the deep love between mother and son that they imagined."
Xu Fengmi's eyes suddenly shone with gossip: "Tell me, I want to hear it."
Cheng Jingrang looked at her, smiled, raised his hand, and tucked her hair behind her ears that had been blown by the wind: "Is it cold?"
Xu Fengmi wanted to hear gossip, but she also thought the view of the moat was quite nice, so she didn't care about the mere chill and said, "It's not cold, just tell me."
Cheng Jingrang looked helpless. He turned around and called Chang Shan.
Chang Shan held one of his black cloaks in his hand.
Cheng Jingrang took the cloak, put it on Xu Fengmi, fastened the laces for her, and took her for a while to the shore.
"When Lu Yang was pregnant with Li Yue, there were rumors that the prince-in-law was secretly looking for women outside, which immediately caused a lot of turmoil in the capital. Therefore, Lu Yang had some dislike for Li Yue."
"What happened next? Where was the consort?" Xu Fengmi asked.
Cheng Jingrang: "Later, when Li Yue was born on the day the prince-in-law died on the woman's body, Lu Yang didn't show much care for him. He only felt disgusted and resisted."
Xu Fengmi frowned: "Then what does Li Shujing think of Li Yue?"
"As we get older, we are getting along well." Cheng Jingrang smiled slightly: "But when he was young, Li Yue was bullied a lot by her."
"As he grew older, Li Yue realized that his status was too low, so he began to conserve his energy. Later, he joined me."
Xu Fengmi smiled: "I saw that Cheng Qi also treated you with respect, which shows that you are very prestigious among the younger generation."
She thought for a moment and then asked: "What now? How does Princess Luyang treat Li Yue?"
Cheng Jingrang: "The attitude is mediocre. The mother and son maintain a superficial affection. In fact, there is no emotion between them, only the cold blood maintains them."
Xu Fengmi sighed: "Prince Li's life experience is still very embarrassing, but he has nothing to do with Chu Lian, so why would he suddenly come to you and ask to marry Chu Lian?"
Cheng Jingrang raised his head and looked at the magnificent moat: "Maybe there are secrets inside that we don't know about."
Let’s talk about the other side.
"Let go!" Ruan Chulian struggled hard, but couldn't break free from his hand.
Li Yue looked at her quietly: "Don't bother, be careful not to hurt yourself."
"You bastard!" Ruan Chulian's face turned red with anxiety. She glared at him with watery eyes, but it was not intimidating, but rather a bit coquettish.
Seeing her like this, Li Yue's Adam's apple twitched. Suddenly, he took a step forward and forced her to the wall. He clamped her hands with one hand and her waist with the other, and covered her with his cold and hot lips.
Go up.
Ruan Chulian's eyes widened, she still didn't react. When she reacted, she opened her mouth and was about to bite him. Who knows, this would make it easier for him to conquer the city.
I don't know how long it took before Li Yue let her go.
There was a snapping sound, and a slap mark appeared on Li Yue's face, but he didn't care and only touched the red and moist lips with his hand.
Ruan Chulian wiped her lips fiercely, her eyes slightly red.
"You and I will get married sooner or later, and we will be husband and wife." Li Yue stepped forward, gently stroked her eyebrows, and sighed: "Chu Chu, you should be my wife."
"Get away!" Ruan Chulian pushed him hard: "You are not allowed to call me that! Also, I will go to my aunt to plead with her not to marry me to you! Just give up on this idea!"
