Feng Luan didn't want to see Xiao Duo again, and she didn't want to see the people of Duanwang's Mansion, but things didn't come according to her wishes.

In a few days, it will be the fortieth birthday of the eldest master Feng Yuan.

Fengguo Gong did a big birthday, and the famous nobles in the capital came to congratulate him on his birthday, not to mention the male guests in front, and among the distinguished guests who came from the female relatives in the back, there was one Feng Luan who didn't want to see at all.

That is her aunt and cousin Mu Lingjia, Xiao Duo's wife, Princess ,—— Duan.

"Ah Luan." Princess Duan smiled and beckoned, "Come and let me take a look." She laughed with the eldest lady, Zhen and others, "In the blink of an eye, Ah Luan has grown into a big girl." ”

Feng Luan only bowed her head and looked like a girl.

Zhen smiled and didn't answer.

The eldest lady was afraid that Princess Duan would feel cold, so she hurriedly said: "Yes, among these girls in our house, Ah Luan has the most neat appearance, and she is a girl who attracts people's pain." ”

Fortunately, Princess Duan just said hello casually, and was not very interested in her cousin, and asked her mother, Mrs. Mu, "Why didn't Roujia come today?" I remember that she and Ah Luan were the best friends. ”

Mrs. Mu replied, "Roujia caught a cold a few days ago. The youngest daughter was naughty, and went to the waterside to pinch flowers and wet her skirt, but it hurt the wind and cold, and it was inconvenient to say it in front of her relatives, so she brought it lightly, "I let her raise it at home for a few days before she was allowed to come out." ”

The eldest lady politely asked, "Does it matter?" ”

"It doesn't matter ......"

Feng Luan didn't have the heart to listen to their chat, and her eyes swept over Princess Duan from time to time, and her heart fluctuated.

On the day of his difficult birth in his previous life, Xiao Duo, as a man, would not set foot in the blood-stained delivery room, even if he had to die twice, he was just standing outside the window. But Princess Duan, who is the mother of the palace, has to come in and take a look in person, whether it is out of affection or for her virtuous reputation.

On the occasion of his own death, in the chaos,...... What do you see?

Seeing Princess Duan's eyes, they were clear and calm, without the slightest emotional ups and downs, and even brought out relaxation-

Is that you? Cousin, are you going to bury me with your own hands?

"Luan, why are you staring at me blankly?" Princess Duan smiled at her.

Feng Luan retracted her gaze and lowered her head, "I see, the phoenix hairpin on the princess's head is very good-looking." ”

Princess Duan is a full round older than herself, two years older than Xiao Duo, and she should be twenty-six years old this year. It is said that she is not young at this age, but she has a high bun like a cloud, a beautiful complexion, and a dignified formal dress on her body, which does not feel cumbersome, but has a more graceful and luxurious momentum.

"It's just more gold." Princess Duan smiled and took off a pair of jade bracelets in her hand, "But Feng Hai is made according to the specifications of the woman, you don't wear it properly, this pair of bracelets is not bad, the water head is very good." ”

Feng Luan didn't want it, but at this moment, he couldn't help but answer, "Thank you, princess." ”

Grandma Feng has always loved to make the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "The second sister has earned it today, and with just one sentence, she has won the good things of the princess." ”

Princess Duan smiled, "Ah Luan is wearing it for fun, it's not worth anything." ”

The eldest lady said: "The princess is really generous. ”

Mrs. Mu looked proud and said smugly: "It's not that I'm boasting, the princess has been generous to other girls since she was a child, and her temperament is gentle and generous, and many people can't compare with it." ”

When she said this, the eldest lady and Grandma Feng naturally followed the flattery.

Zhen has always been too lazy to be perfunctory, but still smiled.

Mrs. Mu glanced at her dissatisfied.

Feng Luan didn't want her mother to be paid too much attention, so she handed the bracelet to the girl, and said, "Keep it for me, be careful, break a little bit of a star, be careful of your skin!." In fact, he didn't want this pair of bracelets at all, let alone socialize here, so he found an excuse to sneak out.

Everyone thought that she was young and didn't ask much.

Feng Luan walked out of Qihail Zhai, and suddenly felt that the air was clear, because he was tired of the excitement in front of him, and those false and polite human relations, so he went to the back garden.

After walking for a while, the girl tortoiseshell asked, "Miss, are you tired?" ”

"Not tired." Feng Luan really doesn't feel tired, every brick and tile, grass and tree in the house is so familiar, and every place retains his childhood memories, making him extremely nostalgic. was stopping to look around, and suddenly noticed several men flashing behind the lattice window opposite, and couldn't help but pay attention to it.

It seems that ......, there is a familiar brocade robe with a special pattern-

It's the dragon pattern used by the prince!

Could it be him? The eldest uncle, as a super-first-class Fengguo Gong, will naturally have many distinguished guests when he has a birthday, and it is common sense for the princes to come to pay their respects. But they don't drink and talk in front, what are they doing in the back garden? Really, the more you don't want to see something, the more you come!

Feng Luan wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.

"Ah Luan." After a few footsteps, a young man came around from the plum blossom gate, about sixteen or seventeen years old, walking briskly, with a handsome bearing that was full of energy.

"Second brother." Feng Luan explained: "We used to pinch a few flowers in Fangyuan. ”

Feng Shiyu nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "It just so happened that I was talking to His Royal Highnesses Duan Wang and King Cheng, and I took a walk around our garden by the way." With a certain eagerness in his eyes, he looked at his cousin, "Since you have met, you go over and give a salute to the two highnesses." ”

Feng Luan didn't want to see it, but he didn't know how to refuse, so he couldn't help but freeze for a while.

"Luan, why are you stunned?" Feng Shiyu had a bit of a sense of urging.

In the stalemate between the brothers and sisters, a group of people came over behind the plum blossom door, the girls were not counted, and the two young men who led the way in front were like jewels and jewels, all of which were brilliant.

The two young princes walked slowly.

Feng Luan knew that he couldn't retreat anymore, clenched his fists in his sleeves, took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions without any waves, and moved the lotus step forward.

She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness King Duan, His Royal Highness King Cheng." ”

******

Xiao Duo stared at the beautiful girl in front of him.

Fengguo Mansion has unparalleled women, and its reputation is widely spread.

Xiao Duo had heard of it a long time ago, but he just listened to it, and never took it seriously. In his opinion, it was just a deliberate trick by the Feng family to raise the value of their own girls.

When I saw it today, I couldn't help but have a slight upturn in the corners of my mouth.

This Miss Feng Er does have the capital to be proud of.

I saw that she swept her eyebrows lightly, without applying fat powder, she was already a plain and clear face, and a pair of dark eyes were misty, with water vapor, revealing a little soft and charming. People can't help but want to take a second look to see whether she is beautiful or charming.

The gorgeous gold butterfly pleated phoenix tail skirt also looks dim under the beautiful colors of the world.

"No courtesy." The corners of Xiao Duo's mouth curled slightly, and he turned his head to look at his brother Cheng Wang Xiao Zhan, and sure enough, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Compared with Xiao Duo's grace and solemnity, Xiao Zhan looks warmer and more warm.

Coupled with his youth, he spoke with a bit of the brightness of a young man, and he already praised with a smile: "I am still praising the garden of the Fengguo Mansion for being well repaired and the flowers blooming better." He looked at the two brothers of the Feng family, "When I see Sister Ling at this moment, I feel that the garden is full of □□ and it is not enough." ”

The breeze swept by, blowing the silk between Feng Luan's arms like a touch of purple clouds.

Feng Shiyu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Chengcheng praises falsely. He had already asked his cousin to come out and show his face, and it would be inappropriate to say more, so he looked at his cousin, "Aren't you going over to pinch the flowers?" Go ahead. ”

Feng Luan couldn't wait to disappear quickly, worried that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would not be able to control himself, so he couldn't help but grab Xiao Duo and ask him,—— Why did he watch himself die in his previous life? Is the conscience all for the dog?! took a deep breath, eased his emotions, and bowed and said, "Your Highness, the courtiers are retiring." ”

Feng Shiyu smiled and confessed, "Well, tell the girls to follow well." ”

Feng Luan didn't go back immediately.

She was gone, but the rest of them were thinking about it.

Xiao Duo had a faint smile in his eyes, such a coincidence, he could meet a young lady who had not left the pavilion when he went to the garden, but he was afraid that ......, the Feng family had some other thoughts, right? The corner of his eye swept over his brother, Xiao Zhan, the king of Cheng, was still unmarried, and he needed a girl of the right age to be the princess,—— it was estimated that the Feng family had this meaning.

However, Miss Feng Er said to pinch the flowers with a vase of flowers, wouldn't she slap herself in the face? Could it really just happen by chance, something else? Or is this just Feng Shiyu's temporary claim?

It's all about yourself.

But......

The Feng family, the Feng family, the Fengguo Mansion, there was a Feng Shufei when the first emperor was born, and there were two princes, and the eldest princess of Liyi. In this dynasty, Concubine Feng Yi gave birth to a son and a daughter, not to mention, the three major families of Feng, Fan, and Mu have an intricate marriage relationship.

The daughters of these three families, the princes can marry a concubine as a princess, even if they have one more arm than others, they want to accept another one as a side concubine, don't even think about it. These families will not depreciate their daughters, the emperor will not agree, and the brothers will not agree, so they don't have to think about it.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhan has not yet married the princess at the moment, and there is still a chance.

Xiao Duo's heart sank, as if he saw a pile of gold swaying mountains, but he couldn't move, couldn't take it, and watched the cheap brothers, how could he not hold his breath? If Xiao Zhan marries Miss Feng as a princess and marries the Feng family to become Qin and Jin, then ...... is not just an ordinary help.

"Brother Six Emperors." Xiao Zhan smiled and reminded, "Watch your step." ”

Xiao Duo nodded, glanced and walked forward.

Xiao Zhan followed, a sneer flashing in his eyes. When Miss Fang Cai Feng Er came to greet her, her brother's mood was a little delicate, others may not be able to see it, but she can feel it.

But he had already tried his best to marry the daughter of the Mu family of Liguo as the princess.

The girl of the Feng family naturally has no part.

Speaking of which, Miss Feng Er is indeed good, beautiful, bright, with a bit of arrogance, and a kind of coquettishness that can't be hidden. Of course, what the prince values most when marrying a wife is not her appearance, but the strength of the princess's maiden family, but if the princess herself is a beauty, it is also the icing on the cake.

Xiao Zhan smiled in his heart, Feng Luan ......, it is worth asking.

******

After leaving, Feng Luan was upset.

In his previous life, he had never seen Xiao Duo or Xiao Zhan before he entered the palace as a slave, but the trajectory of his life in this life has deviated! That's it, as long as the Feng family is not raided, he will not enter the palace as a slave, and there is absolutely no reason to be a concubine for Xiao Duo.

Well...... just take care of this big thing.

"Second Miss!" Not far away, a little girl in a green skirt walked by the door, she raised her hand, "It just so happens that the eldest lady asked me to invite you, just right, I don't have to go to the Stars and Hug the Moon Pavilion." ”

"Aunt looking for me?" Although Feng Luan was surprised, he still nodded, "Okay, I'll go over now." "Along the wisteria path, all the way to the upper room of the Qi Fei Zhai, my mind is uncertain.

Fengguo Gongfeng Mansion is divided into two rooms, the long room is out, and the second room is followed.

The population of the second room is simple, the father Feng Ze, who has been sick for many years, the mother Zhen, herself, and Aunt Gong and her pair of concubines, there are only these masters in total. His father was a talent when he was a teenager, but later because of his poor health, his grandmother was afraid that he would be tired, so she strictly ordered him not to study and bother, but to recuperate.

's father broke off his career, and the entire second room could only live in the Guogong Mansion, relying on his grandmother Gong's young age and always pinching the back house.

In contrast, the long house is full of talents.

The eldest uncle, Feng Yuan, because he was the eldest son, took the title of Duke of Fengguo, who was super first-class, and he was also talented and politically extraordinary, and he was like a fish in water in officialdom. From the new science and technology exploration of the year, the little Hanlin, has been prosperous in official luck, and now he is a second-grade official waiter, and a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace.

and two aunts of the eldest uncle and one mother, the eldest aunt is the wife of the Mu family of the Liguo Mansion, and the younger aunt entered the palace as the concubine Niangniang, and has twelve princes and six princesses. His cousin Feng Rongniang married into the Fan family of the Fuguo Mansion and became a grandmother, and several gentlemen in the long house are also characters of Zhilan Yushu.

Excludes, of course, the three cousins.

Speaking of his third cousin, who is like a living treasure, he is an outlier in the long house, because of greed, he is a little fat, and he is not close to Zhilan Yushu. I don't like to read anymore, I only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, walk birds and dogs, and my temperament is frizzy, and I am in a hurry, and I can do everything about going to the house and lifting tiles.

However, even if the third cousin is not good in everything, he treats himself ......, but he is very good.

Everyone says that the third cousin and himself are like brothers and sisters-

It's a pity that in his previous life, he died in vain.

Feng Luan sighed in his heart, looking at the blue tiles and white walls of the long house in front of him, carving beams and paintings, and then passing through a rockery, a nine-fold and eighteen-fold corridor, it is Qi Hail Zhai. Speaking of which, the person who treats the eldest aunt in the second room is indifferent, and she speaks lukewarmly, and she doesn't want to deal with her more.

In Qihail Zhai, the eldest lady had a Buddhist scripture in her hand, and raised her head when she heard the voice, "You are here." She spoke unhurriedly, and her demeanor was soothing, but she had a dignified and solemn atmosphere, which was very in line with her status as Mrs. Fengguo.

Feng Luan saluted and asked, "I heard that the eldest aunt is looking for me?" ”

"It doesn't matter." The eldest lady pointed to the materials on the table and said lightly: "In a few days, the crown princess will be on her birthday, and I will take you to celebrate her birthday when the time comes, so I will cut a few fresh clothes." ”

The Crown Princess's birthday? Feng Luan's heart skipped a beat.

The memories of her previous life were churning in her mind, and with the picture of meeting Xiao Duo and Xiao Zhan just now, she soon remembered ....... It is now the eve of the crown princess's birthday, and she has been busy thinking about changing the fate of the Feng family in the past few days, but she has forgotten about this important event.

On the birthday of the crown princess, the princesses and ladies of each family had to follow her, saying that they were going to celebrate her birthday, but in fact, they were choosing the future princess for King Xiao Zhan. I was born in the Fengguo Gongfeng family, I am of the right age, my grandson is born, and my appearance and conduct are no problem, so it is absolutely enough in terms of conditions-

But in his previous life, he was defeated.

In fact, this kind of choosing a concubine for the prince is a political game.

In this game in the previous life, in the end, the Empress Dowager Qin and Concubine De's faction won, overthrowing the Empress Fan's faction, and Princess Cheng came from the Qin family. So at this princess banquet, I just went through the motions, and I didn't even have a chance to say a word, and those who were dressed up or not were actually pretty much the same, just don't be rude.

Besides, what is there to fight for Princess Cheng? In the end, he couldn't escape death.

Feng Luan's heart went back slightly.

But faintly, there is a hint of indescribable worry.

I met Xiao Zhan unexpectedly today, will he ......? It's not that I feel too good, but for the princes who are vying for the crown, a strong wife is very important. Not to mention that he looks passable, but if he is ugly, Xiao Zhan will not frown when he marries a girl from the Feng family.

Then he ......, should he have any plans?

Well, you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Xiao Zhan's biological mother, Duan Jin, died early, and she has been raised by Concubine Qin De, and there is still the Empress Dowager Qin in the palace, even if Xiao Zhan has some ideas, he can't twist his arms and thighs. After all, he is still fledgling at the moment, and he can't compete with the Queen Mother, Concubine De and others, so he can only obediently obey orders.

Speaking of which, his current strength is not as good as Xiao Duo's.

Wait, why do you remember that person again?!

Feng Luan's heart floated with a kind of silk-like irritability, and when he looked up, he saw that the eldest aunt was looking at him, hurriedly calmed down, got up and smiled: "That's good, then there are a few more new clothes to wear." ”

The eldest lady turned the Buddha beads in her hand, her eyebrows impatient.

Feng Luan looked a little surprised, although the eldest aunt in her previous life treated her coldly, she didn't give her face in person, could it be that there was something to worry about? Because of his own people, he asked casually, "Auntie, but who annoyed you?" ”

"It's not the third bastard!" The eldest lady slapped the rosary on her hand, and because of her annoyance, she couldn't help but complain to her niece, "It's good, saying that he planned to set up the royal family's family affairs for him, he didn't know which tendon he twisted, so he came to me to make trouble, saying that he didn't want to, and then ran out of Lu angrily." ”

"The third cousin is angry?" Feng Luan's heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered an old incident from the past.

In the previous life, the fiancée named Wang by the family for the third cousin was from a famous family in this dynasty, and it was a very good marriage. But I don't know where the third cousin heard the gossip, saying that the Wang family had something to do with his cousin, and he was reluctant to marry into the Feng family, and he was forced by his mother and brother at home to reluctantly agree to this marriage.

The third cousin blew up, didn't agree, and went out angrily after arguing with the eldest aunt.

Then I asked a group of fox friends to go out of the city for a drink, and I didn't go home for several days, and that's it. I don't know which one can't be idle, and I think it's boring to just drink and have fun, so I propose that since it's out, why not go to the nearby Qingxu to watch the flowers? This reward will give you something wrong.

At that time, it was a coincidence, just in time for Wang's cousin Du Gongzi to also make an appointment with a friend to go to Qingxuguan Mountain to compose poems. The two people bumped together, the third cousin was irritable, and the people around him were restless, so they quarreled in a few words, and then they fought.

Pity Nadu Gongzi and his party, the poem was not made, but hung up in embarrassment.

Originally, the quarrels between the rich and noble sons and brothers were common, and they were not uncommon. But this matter is not over, after the two groups of people dispersed and went back, I don't know who Lu Dao was, and they actually shouted the reason for the fight.

Circling around, the rumors rolled bigger and bigger like a snowball, and the more exaggerated they became, and finally turned into Wang's unchaste.

When the news reached Wang's ears, he couldn't help but be ashamed, angry, and hateful, and after hiding in the house and crying for a long time, he quietly hung his neck while people were not paying attention, and died in an instant.

After the third cousin learned of Wang's death, he regretted it.

"It can be seen that I mistook her." He remorsefully said: "There must be no ghosts in Wang's heart, if she likes the surname Du, she will marry, why should she kill herself?" "I was so angry that I wanted to go to the rumor-spreader to take revenge, but I was beaten up by my uncle and ordered to lock up at home and not go out.

So far, the relatives of the Feng family and the Wang family have not formed a relationship, but have formed a feud.

Feng Luan was in a complicated mood, and later when the Feng family was convicted and copied, those crimes that wanted to be added were indispensable to the Wang family's handwriting, especially the third cousin, a son and brother who was not in the office, and there were even people staring at him, pushing him to death, thinking that he could not get rid of the Wang family.

But in the final analysis, this incident ...... caused by the reckless troubles of the third cousin, and it was the fault of the Feng family-

I can't complain that the Wang family has fallen into the ground.

But now, since he has lived a new life, he can't watch the third brother repeat the mistakes of the past and continue to repeat the tragedy of his previous life! Gotta stop this from happening!
