Chapter 118: To Each His Own Mind
"Dad, tell me, what is going on with the former crown princess, you are vague when you tell others about this, why is it like this when you tell your daughter?" Feng Liangbi pursed her lips and looked at her daughter, put the wine cup in her hand aside, and carefully bowed to remove the leaves that fell on her daughter's hair.

Feng Liangbi's face was gloomy, "Although the eldest prince Shen Yi died in battle, he had already married a wife, and the crown princess was named Eldest Sun Fu, who was pregnant for five months at that time. ”
"Huh? Posthumous? ”
"It's true, it's just that it's okay if this child doesn't give birth, but after giving birth, it brings disaster to the eldest grandson."
Feng Jin'er couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" It stands to reason that if the child is born, it will be the eldest grandson, and Your Majesty may not be able to be happy, right? ”
"Indeed, His Majesty was really happy at first, but when the child was born, it became a scandal for the royal family, and the crown princess actually gave birth to a monster in the end?"
"Monsters?"
Feng Liangbi nodded slowly, "At that time, the cloth pocket was supposed to contain His Majesty's imperial grandson, but when it was opened, it was a big sarcoma with blood. ”
"That'...... Where did the kid go? ”
"Who knows? Anyway, the sarcoma was regarded as an unlucky thing, but the eldest grandson decided that he gave birth to an imperial grandson, and the imperial doctor, palace maid, and eunuch who were in the East Palace at that time insisted that what was left of her was a sarcoma. ”
"Who does Your Majesty believe?"
"At that time, the palace gate was closed, and no one could go out...... His Majesty ordered the sarcoma to be burned, and invited a group of monks to do the excesses. Feng Liangbi didn't continue, but Feng Jin'er had already guessed.
He took a leisurely breath, "Then you won't be punished in this way?" And it's a capital crime, why did it even implicate the eldest grandson. ”
"Maybe the eldest grandson queen has a grudge against this matter, and secretly performed witchcraft in her own bedroom, which is also a coincidence, at that time, Your Majesty often had insomnia, and was in a trance, the eunuch next to the crown princess told the emperor about it, and Your Majesty did find the scarecrow hidden in the palace of the eldest grandson, Your Majesty was furious at that time, and gave the eldest grandson a piece of white silk, so that she could end her own life, and the eldest grandson did not escape this catastrophe, half of the children of the clan were sent to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and the rest were also reduced to official slaves." Feng Liangbi's tone was steady and his expression was indifferent.
"Okay, this matter is almost over, but after the death of the eldest grandson, the crown princess left a suicide note, which named the emperor and grandson by name and said that the emperor was replaced by Concubine Mei and Concubine Lan, and His Majesty almost gave Concubine Mei to death at that time, but Concubine Mei had been chatting with the Queen Mother in Yonghe Palace at that time."
"Then where did the eldest grandson, the princess's child, go?"
"The people in the palace are impersonal, if that child is still alive, he should be twelve or thirteen years old by now, but if he is alive, he will not have so many troubles today." Feng Liangbi stretched her brows, Jin'er frowned slightly, and stood up.
"After hearing this, do you still want to marry Shen Zhong? I thought we wouldn't try to get involved in their royal affairs, but it's really hard for you to insist on being a father like this! Feng Liangbi's vision is so keen, he can see it when Jin'er smiles.
"Father, you go and help Shen Zhong, I think, it's good that you don't be prime minister now, you can go and be a staff member for Brother Zhong, and I can see Brother Zhong a few more times at that time." Looking at Feng Jin'er who was coquettish, Feng Liangbi was a little soft-hearted, thinking about whether she should tell Feng Jin'er what she knew.
"Dad, do you have anything to worry about?"
"Jin'er, do you know that this time King Ande went to Longxi, he didn't take the initiative to ask for help, but was forced to go." Holding the white beard on her chin with her right hand, although there was no other movement, the sad look on her face made Feng Jin'er nervous unconsciously.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, it's just that King Ande is not stupid, if there is nothing to do, he must take the initiative to ask for help, this time he was forced to lead the troops, I'm afraid it shouldn't be simple, so let's do it in the afternoon, go to King Ande's mansion, and ask about the situation by the way."
"In that case, did you say that you agreed to be Brother Zhong's staff?"
"I'm just a daughter like you, you have chosen, and I haven't run away." Feng Liangbi spread out her hand and smiled helplessly, Feng Jin'er immediately jumped up, put the food box on the ground, turned around and ran.
"Why are you going?"
"Go find Brother Zhong!"
"You girl can't be reserved, take my carriage." Feng Liangbi filled his wine cup again, drinking by himself, but he was also very comfortable.
Saying that, Shen Zhong returned to the palace and came directly to Li Xiaoyu's house, trying to put on an indifferent expression, Qingluo saw that it was Shen Zhong who came in, and quickly shouted, "The prince is back, I'll help you carry this thing." ”
Without waiting for a reply from inside, Shen Zhong walked in and stood in the house, couldn't help but turn his head to look around, looking at the furnishings in the house, but he was very curious, Li Xiaoyu's house actually raised a lot of potted plants.
Qingluo greeted her again, graciously moved a chair, and was smiling and wanting to say something, but Shen Zhong asked, "What, is she in the kitchen again?" ”
"Well, Miss hasn't come back yet, she's developing a new dish in the kitchen, and you'll help you taste it later." Before Qingluo finished speaking, Shen Zhong directly carried the small box and walked to the back kitchen.
Li Xiaoyu was in good spirits at this time, his hands were busy, and those cooks were sluggish, Li Xiaoyu used a pair of chopsticks, constantly stirring in a basin, since learning to fold plum hands, manually beating eggs has become extremely easy, there are few dishes in Chinese food that need to be beaten eggs, watching Li Xiaoyu separate the egg whites and egg yolks, and then beat the egg whites and egg yolks, these cooks are completely immersed in her skillful techniques.
Qingluo ran into the kitchen first, and whispered to Li Xiaoyu about the matter, Li Xiaoyu was also stunned, "He won't notice anything, right?" ”
"No, Miss, I secretly talked to Ankang about this matter, the prince shouldn't know, and after a while, he seems to be quite busy, by the way, Miss, I just saw the prince carrying a very delicate box."
Li Xiaoyu glanced back, Shen Zhong, who was standing outside, and secretly despised it in his heart, "The so-called gentleman is far away from the kitchen, the one who stands outside and doesn't come in, it's purely a show." ”
"It's okay, I guess he has something to ask me, look at him like that, he looks dejected, and he is still pretending there." Handing the beaten egg white to the nearby cook, she nibbled on a washed cucumber and ran out of the room.
"How? After all, you were forced to go on the expedition, right? ”
Shen Zhong looked embarrassed, lowered his head and put the box in his hand on his chest, "That.... This.... This is a set of knives that I bought from the Treasure Chest, and I know you like to cook, so I gave it to you. ”
"Oh, bring it and let me see it." Gently opened the golden silk nanmu box, and looked at the seven knives neatly placed inside, she really liked it, it seems that Shen Zhong has invested a lot of money this time.
Shen Zhong found that when Li Xiaoyu found the knives in the box, her eyes were extraordinarily pure, as pure as gems without any impurities, and at that moment he couldn't wait to tell her all his troubles.
