He looked disgusted: "Look at yourself, what you have become now, you look like a madman, it is unbearable to look at!"
Xu Fengruo lowered his eyes, took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes, and then said softly: "I don't want to be like this, but brother Jiayan obviously fell in love with us in the beginning."
Cheng Xu's face froze, and he looked at Xu Fengruo, speechless for a moment.
From his point of view, Xu Fengruo has a delicate figure, a delicate smile, a pointed chin, pitiful eyebrows, and a slight frown, which makes me feel pity for him.
Cheng Xu couldn't help but think of the past between the two of them, and felt a little dazed.
The wheel ran over a stone and the carriage jolted. Cheng Xu came back to his senses. He looked at Xu Fengruo, who was secretly feeling sad, and sighed.
"Ruo'er." He stepped forward, sat next to Xu Fengruo, stretched out his hand, hugged her into his arms, and held her delicate shoulders: "It's my fault, it's my fault."
He looked helpless: "Ruo'er, I have never forgotten our past. I am still the same person I was before, but are you still the same as before?"
Xu Fengruo snuggled in his arms, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard his words. She lowered her eyes, reached out and took his big palm, and gently touched his palm with her soft jade hand: "Of course. I will always be who I was before."
That me."
"The King of Zhennan has gone too far." Xu Fengqiao muttered: "He didn't take us seriously at all. He looked so self-centered that it made my teeth itch."
Xu Zhi glanced at him: "Be careful what you say. You should never say this outside."
"Isn't what I said right?" Xu Fengqiao raised her eyebrows: "From the time he entered the house to the time he left the house, he never called you 'my father-in-law'. This is contempt for us."
After he finished speaking, he drooped his eyebrows again and sighed faintly: "I don't know if the sixth sister is living well in Zhennan Prince's Mansion. Will a cold and aloof person like Zhennan Prince really love her?"
Xu Zhi slapped him on the back of the head: "Shut up! Don't talk about these things all day long. If you have this free time, you might as well preview your homework. Autumn is coming, so you should pay more attention.
Don't always focus on things that have nothing to do with you."
"How come it has nothing to do with me?" Xu Fengqiao rubbed the back of her head and said dissatisfied: "I can be considered the king of Zhennan."
His words stopped abruptly. Just because his elder brother gave him a cold and faint look, he had no choice but to give in.
Xu Zhi sighed, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Fengzhi's shoulder: "Aqiao will leave it to you. He won't listen to anyone except you."
Xu Fengzhi bowed slightly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely discipline Aqiao well."
Xu Fengmi sat aside and yawned.
Xu Zhi's face became kind: "Ah Mi"
Xu Fengmi glanced at him and said nothing.
Xu Zhi rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Now, you are the only girl in the house."
"What? Father thinks I'm an eyesore?" Xu Fengmi smiled half-heartedly: "Do you want me to die?"
Xu Zhi was so frightened that he waved his hands: "No, no, that's not what I mean by not being a father. It's definitely not what I mean. Don't think too much about it."
He coughed lightly and said, "I heard the news that there is going to be a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace, and the women's families of the officials in the court will attend. Presumably, the post will be here soon."
Xu Fengmi looked at him quietly and said nothing.
Xu Zhi continued: "What I mean by this is that by then, your mother will definitely not have received the message. Then you will be the only female family member in our house attending the banquet. You are young, so you must be cautious in your actions, and don't be fooled.
What kind of handle did people use to avoid falling into the trap of what they said?"
He seemed to feel cold and stuffed his hands into his sleeves again: "You are the future Princess Jing after all. Many people are jealous of you secretly. You must pay more attention to avoid being plotted by others, you know?"
Xu Fengmi stood up and looked at Xu Zhi sideways, with a sarcastic smile in his eyes: "Thank you for your care, father."
After saying that, she left. Xu Zhi stood there, neither smiling nor not smiling. For a moment, his expression was very funny.
Xu Fengqiao was still thinking about Cheng Xu. Xu Fengzhi looked at Xu Fengmi's leaving figure and was speechless for a moment, but his eyes were filled with darkness.
When night falls, Zhennan Palace.
"How's it going?" Cheng Xu lowered his eyes and looked at his confidant kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What can you find out?"
The confidants clasped their fists and said respectfully: "My subordinates found out that Xu Fengzhi, the eldest son of Xu, is not a bloodline of the Xu family, but an adopted son of Xu Zhi, but he was also listed in the family tree. Later..."
The confidant recounted Xu Fengzhi's experiences from childhood to present day, without leaving out any detail.
Xu Fengzhi's experience was ordinary and boring, with no ups and downs, and none of the beautiful and ambiguous things that Cheng Xu imagined.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "That's all?"
The confidant should be.
It was windy outside, but because the doors and windows were closed, the candlelight in the room was still quiet and never flickered.
Cheng Xu stood behind the desk with his hands behind his hands. He stared at a random spot in the room, feeling a little bored.
Obviously today, he saw that there was something wrong in Xu Fengzhi's heart.
Xu Fengzhi is a little weird towards Xu Fengmi. To be more precise, Xu Fengzhi is interested in Xu Fengmi. Although they are brothers and sisters, they are not related by blood at all.
Cheng Xu clenched his hands into fists and pressed them against the desk. He frowned and looked a little ugly.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
There was a knock on the door.
"Brother Jiayan."
Cheng Xu collected his thoughts and sat down: "Come in."
Xu Fengruo put the meal in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Ruoer was worried that you didn't use your dinner well, so he brought these to Brother Jiayan to see if they suit your appetite."
Cheng Xu glanced at it, smiled, took her into his arms, and let her sit on his lap: "The princess prepared it for me, of course it will suit my appetite."
He looked at Xu Fengruo's beautiful face and was in a trance again. He almost thought that the person sitting on his lap with a tender and sweet face was Xu Fengmi.
Xu Fengruo noticed his confusion, but she didn't point it out. She just leaned against his chest softly: "Brother Jiayan."
She gently caressed Cheng Xu's chest.
Cheng Xu lowered his eyes and held her weak, boneless hand tightly: "Ruo'er, what's wrong?"
Xu Fengruo: "I heard that in a few days, there will be a Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace."
"Well, there is such a thing." Cheng Xu said: "The Hundred Flowers Banquet is a big banquet, and the female relatives of officials in the capital will attend the banquet. Ruo'er, you are the Princess of Zhennan, and you have to support the reputation of the Zhennan Palace.
."
Of course, this is not necessarily the case for officials whose official rank is too low, such as Xu Zhi. Because Xu Zhi's official rank is too low, He Lanying will not receive posts. Xu Fengmi will receive posts, naturally because she is King Jing's fiancée.
Xu Fengruo smiled: "I will."
She took Cheng Xu's hand and put it against her heart: "Brother Jiayan, what's so subtle about this Hundred Flowers Banquet?"
