At that time, Emperor Tianwu was playing with the four-month-old puppy in his arms. When he heard the news, his hands shook and the puppy fell to the ground. He let out a very dissatisfied cry, and then took a step forward.
He walked away on his calves.
The old prince spread out his ten fingers in front of him, looked at them for a long time, and finally said: "All ten fingers are connected to the heart!" After that, he asked Zhang Yuan: "Tell me, am I right?"
The older you get, the softer your heart becomes? Lao Ba hurt me like that, but now that I heard that he is dead, I still feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Yuan also sat cross-legged opposite him and said sincerely: "This does not mean being soft-hearted, it is human nature. As you said, ten fingers are connected to the heart! After all, it is your blood that condenses the family.
Son, how can you not feel bad? You don't go out of the palace very often, and you don't know what it is like outside. I want to tell you, the poor people outside, no matter how poor they are, even if they only have one mouthful to eat, they will
Leave food for your children. Even if you starve to death and freeze to death, you must let your children survive first. This is the way the world is. We have heard of children and grandchildren who are not filial to their parents, but we have never heard of parents who do not raise children and grandchildren.
Nai. If you think about it this way, you will feel relieved about the Eighth Prince."
"It's not all like what you said." Emperor Tianwu retorted, "Look at Feng Jinyuan before. He wanted to strangle Ah Heng to death. Isn't that a father who doesn't care for his children and grandchildren?"
"But I heard that he also woke up in the last days." Zhang Yuan had already heard about Feng Jinyuan's last days in the Southern Realm, and now he told the story to Emperor Tianwu, and the two of them were filled with emotion.
Emperor Tianwu said: "Actually, sometimes when I think about it, even if Feng Jinyuan feels a little hateful, it is to protect the overall situation of the Feng family. Just like when I was young, I don't need to go back more than ten years to let this person
This incident happened to me ten years ago. I can clear all obstacles for Ming'er, even my children and grandchildren. I am willing to do it for Ming'er, for Pianpian, and for the great prosperity. But what happened to me in the past two years? "
"This is blood and family ties." Zhang Yuan analyzed it for him. "This shows that Your Majesty has feelings in your heart and is not cold-blooded. It also shows that Concubine Yun and His Highness Ninth Prince are people who understand the general situation. Otherwise, with Concubine Yun's
Sheng Chong, if she did not choose to live alone in Yuehan Palace, but wanted to compete with all the concubines in this harem, I am afraid that she would have taken the position of queen by now. But she did not treat other concubines and ladies.
Come on, His Highness the Ninth Prince’s temperament was a little weird when he was young, but even though he was at odds with the Third and Eighth Princes in the past, he was still very nice to others.”
Emperor Tianwu nodded and praised his beloved woman and son. He was always willing to hear this. But after hearing it, he couldn't help but ask: "Is Pianpian still in the capital?"
Zhang Yuan said: "I'm still living in Prince Chun's Mansion! Yesterday His Highness the Seventh Highness just talked about it with this servant. His Highness The Seventh Highness said that if the Emperor asks about this matter, he should answer truthfully, and please rest assured that Your Majesty is in Prince Chun's Mansion."
Everything is fine."
Emperor Tianwu was stunned, "Why doesn't she leave? Didn't I let her go? She wanted to escape from here so much before, but now she is free, why doesn't she leave?"
Zhang Yuan asked back: "Where do you want your empress to go?"
"Go..." the old emperor concluded. Yes! Where are we going? The cottage has been destroyed long ago. It has been locked up in the palace for more than 20 years. Apart from the mansions of his two sons, there is nowhere else to go.
Pianpian’s home? Even if she is free, where can she go?
Thinking of this, the old emperor's nose felt sore, and he blamed himself: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! It was my fault more than twenty years ago, but now it's still my fault! I concealed my identity and deceived her before she entered the palace.
Then he tried every means to prevent her from leaving. Xiao Yuanzi, do you think I have made a mistake in my life? In the end, I was unable to protect my beloved son and failed the woman I loved most. If I continue to live like this, what else do I have?
mean?"
Hearing that the old emperor had the idea of not being able to live anymore, Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes and said: "Prince Yu once said that dying is the worst sign of cowardice. To be honest, you just close your eyes and...
I don't care about anything anymore, but what about the people who are still alive? If you don't think of ways to make up for it while you are still alive, you only want to use death to escape. Isn't it too selfish?"
Emperor Tianwu was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "Aheng said that? Well, that girl can only say such things! Laojiu is really lucky. Well, since you say so, then I will live, live
Just think of it as atonement. Anyway, no one has to suffer, so I will accompany her to suffer together." After saying that, he sighed again, "Pianpian doesn't have a home, so how can I have a family? This palace can only be regarded as a residence.
It’s just a place, it can’t be called a home. The meaning of home is that husband and wife live in harmony with their children, but unfortunately, such days will never exist in the palace.”
At Prince Yu's Mansion, Feng Yuheng was sitting in his yard playing with Xiaobao. The child had been surprised by being imprisoned by the Zongsui people for these days, but his physical condition was still good. He should eat and drink, but he didn't.
He suffered too much physical damage. But now that he is back, he is a little unhappy. When Feng Yuheng gave him a lollipop to eat, he asked Feng Yuheng in a sweet voice: "My
Where is my sister? When can Xiaobao return to my sister?"
Before Feng Yuheng could speak, Huang Quan beside him couldn't help but said quickly: "Your sister treats you so badly, why do you have to go back to her?" Xiaobao is not as dark as he was when he was a child, and he is not as dark as he was when he was a child.
He has grown a lot, he is fair and chubby and very cute, and he is completely different from before. Even Huang Quan, who originally disliked him, finds him more pleasing to the eye, and can even tease him a few times from time to time.
Xiaobao looked up at Huang Quan and said with a small mouth: "How do you know that my sister is not good to me?"
"Of course I know!" Huang Quan knelt down, pinched Xiaobao's cheek and asked: "Does she often hit you? And scold you? I have heard all this. Your sister is not as caring about you as the fifth prince. You
After being lost for so many days, the only person who has been looking for you outside is the fifth prince, and your sister has not exerted even half of her strength!"
Xiaobao was not happy when he heard this. He actually stretched out his arms and pushed Huang Quan hard. Of course he couldn't push Huang Quan. Not only did he not push Huang Quan, he also shook himself back two small steps.
, then plopped down and sat down on the ground and cried, "Woo! Woo! You are a bad person, you are not allowed to talk about my sister like this. Xiaobao likes my sister, and Xiaobao will be with her even if she is beaten. Wuwu!"
Feng Yuheng was helpless and quickly stepped forward to help the child up and hold her in her arms. Xiaobao and Feng Yuheng were almost close to each other. He hugged her neck and refused to let go, but he kept saying:
Saying: "Help me find my sister! Xiaobao wants to find her sister!"
Feng Yuheng coaxed him while scolding Huang Quan: "Why are you telling a child this? What does he know?"
Huang Quan said with a smile: "Isn't this slave afraid that this child will be spoiled by Feng Fendai? With Feng Fendai's temperament, if this child grows up beside her, there is no telling what he will become in the future. If he is not protected, he will be another one.
Feng Zihao might not even know!"
"That is the fate of this child!" Feng Yuheng said, "If he can really become like Feng Zihao, it means that he has the Feng family's genes in his bones, and it will be the same no matter who he is." She said while looking at Huai.
Xiaobao inside could not help but frown after looking at it for a while, and then asked Huang Quan: "Do you think this child looks much better than when he was a child? Not only is his skin whiter, but his facial features have also changed."
Huang Quan nodded, "No! I wanted to tell the lady that Feng Fendai had changed the child, right? Is this the same little treasure as before?"
"It hasn't changed." Feng Yuheng said: "If it changes again, it will still be there. I won't admit it. They say that children look the same every day. His biological father's skin was darker at first, but if you say
His facial features are really good. How else would he be able to sing? Have you ever seen an ugly opera singer?"
"That's right." Huang Quan said: "When the young lady said this, I also recalled that the actor was handsome, but his skin was dark, and after taking off the oil paint, it made people reluctant to look at it more. The child now looks more and more like
It's getting better and better, and now he has followed that actor. As for him growing older, he should have followed the Han family, right?"
"It's possible." Feng Yuheng handed Xiaobao to the mother-in-law in the courtyard to put him to sleep, and then ordered: "Wangchuan will bring some snacks later and give Xiaobao some to eat before putting him to sleep, otherwise he will fall asleep soon.
I woke up hungry." Seeing the mother-in-law taking Xiao Bao away, he said to Huang Quan: "Go to the front yard and have a look! If my guess is correct, Feng Fendai will come to ask for someone soon."
"Leave people to her so easily?" Huang Quan was a little unhappy, "She was the culprit who harmed Miss Third!"
"Otherwise?" Feng Yuheng asked back: "Forcibly keep the child? And then we can raise it?" She shook her head as she said, "You have also seen how close Xiaobao and Feng Fendai are. Even if Feng Fendai beats him, he will be the same."
You have to follow your sister. This is blood and family ties, and you can't cut them off without stopping. Go ahead! If she comes, welcome her in. As for the matter of Xiang Rong, the accounts that need to be settled have been settled with Yu Qianyin. There is nothing more to say about Feng Fendai.
"
Feng Yuheng was very accurate. Not long after Huang Quan left, Feng Fendai came. After leading the people into the small courtyard, Huang Quan stood behind Feng Yuheng with a cold face, staring at Feng Fendai for a long time, and then
At Feng Yuheng's signal, she went to make tea. However, the tea she brewed was also cold and hot. The cold bowl was naturally for Feng Fendai, and she placed it heavily on the table rudely to show her dissatisfaction.
Feng Fendai didn't take it seriously. She had long been accustomed to Feng Yuheng's attitude, not to mention that she was mentally prepared in advance when she came. She warned herself over and over again that she was here to take back Xiaobao.
She wasn't here to quarrel or cause trouble. So she smiled at Feng Yuheng calmly and called out: "Second sister."
Feng Yuheng had no expression on her face. After hearing the call, she just said: "I don't dare." Then she took the initiative to ask: "I wonder why Miss Feng Si came to Prince Yu's Mansion?"
The unfamiliarity in the words made Feng Fendai a little dazed, but then she realized that she was drawing a clear line with her! She was not worthy to be Princess Yu's sister. In the eyes of this second sister, there was always only one sister, and that was Feng Xiang.
Yes, it's not her.
Feng Fendai laughed self-deprecatingly, and then changed her words: "Prince Yu, you are rude to a common girl."
