Chapter 18 The Best Place to Talk
In all fairness, Feng Yan really thinks so.
This morning, Sun Youwei went to the altar to pray for blessings, Wei Xingzhen and her should have gone together, but at that time, Tang Sanxue came over to pass the decree, saying that today's sacrifice is simple, and Lord Wei is at the head of the Feng Pavilion and cannot be absent, but thinking that there is a lot of snow outside today, His Majesty allowed Feng Yan to rest in the palace, so there is no need to go out.
Both of them almost felt a little strange.
But now, it has to be guarded against.
Before leaving, Wei Xingzhen did something in this room, as long as Feng Yan stayed here, he could know anything that happened.
Although it took a long time to pray for blessings, except for the first hour, where he had to pay attention to the prayers arranged by several heavenly masters at all times, all that remained was to stand there and wait silently for the end of the festival - at that time, he would be able to get out.
"Why would my aunt think like this......" Feng Yan lowered her eyes, "I'm already here, even if I avoid it, won't you be able to come to me at any time?" β
"And what have you been procrastinating all morning? Don't you want to wait for Wei Xingzhen to come backβ"
"Auntie laughed again," Feng Yan raised her head, "Can the winter prayer be over in half a day?" Even if I really want to delay, what's the point of delaying for so long? β
Feng Yu exhaled slightly.
"On the contrary, I am a little curious," Feng Yan said softly, "Early in the morning, Gonggong Tang came to convey His Majesty's will, saying that there was a lot of snow on the mountain today, and His Majesty was sympathetic to me and let me rest in the house, but within an hour, Agarwood came, saying that after I finished breakfast, I would go to the side hall of the palace to wait for you-do you want to deliberately support Wei Xingzhen?" β
"That's nonsense!" Feng Yu said coldly, "Ah Yan, when did we become so suspicious of each other as we do now?" The fate of grandparents and grandchildren in the past 20 years...... You ask yourself, is it still better than your husband who has known you for less than half a year? β
"Auntie...... Do I have to choose between the two? Feng Yan asked in a very soft voice, "Aren't they things that can be preserved at the same time?" β
Feng Yu frowned, she closed her eyes and gently rubbed her eyebrows.
"Don't talk about that." The old man said softly, "Come out with me." β
"Where are you taking me?"
"Go to a place suitable for conversation," Feng Yu said softly, "There are some things, maybe it would be better for you to know." β
Feng Yan showed a puzzled look?" What exactly does my aunt want to say to me? Do you have to be in a place to say it? β
"It's about your doom." Feng Yu's voice became cold, "Do you want me to talk to you about this here?" β
There was silence in the room.
At this time, there was a knock at the door? The two palace people who had removed the bowl earlier had already stood at the door again with hot porridge? They shouted tremblingly, and heard Feng Yan gently asking them to come in.
"Childe? The porridge is hot again. The slaves and maids asked the cook, why is this porridge always not to your liking when it is served today? The cook said because the kitchen is a little far from here? Because she was afraid that the porridge would be cold halfway through, she deliberately made it hot when it came out - this time she didn't have that room for her. β
After arranging all the dishes, the two took a step back.
"Look at it...... Can you enter?"
Feng Yan glanced at the old man, "This bowl of porridge this morning?" Can my aunt let me finish my drink before leaving? β
"I'm in no hurry." Feng Yu replied.
Feng Yan sat down again? She reached out to test the heat and cold of the bowl as she had done before, then sat down and tasted itβbut in just one bite, she put down the spoon.
"No, it's cold when you serve it this time." She coldly pushed away the dishes and chopsticks, "A bowl of porridge is hot and cold?" It's cold and hot, do you care about it? β
Two palace people knelt down on the spot? The atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Feng Yan looked at the wind and snow outside the door and threw the spoon in her hand on the table.
"Let's redo it."
β¦β¦
Little by little, the sun is rising? Old Madam Feng really didn't urge anymore, she sat quietly on a chair not far from Feng Yan? Looking at this child who brought it with his own hands? How blatantly procrastinating time.
"That's it."
About half an hour later? The old man stood up.
"Where is my aunt going?"
"Go back." Old Madam Feng said softly, "Since there are some things that you don't want to hear, then my aunt won't talk about them......
Feng Yu left Feng Yan's house without looking back, no matter how heavy the wind and snow outside, it was not as cold as her at the moment.
She always thinks about how to save Ah Yan's life, but does this girl understand this painstaking effort?
Maybe Sun Youwei's words last night were not unreasonable......
However, before Feng Yu could walk far, she heard a sound of footsteps behind her, and the old man slowed down, but did not look back.
After a while, Feng Yan chased after him with an umbrella.
The grandfather and grandson stood in the snow for a while, and then walked forward together.
Feng Yan picked up the old man's arm, and with the other hand, she took the umbrella in the hand of the maid on the side, and the two whispered under the umbrella, and the wind far overshadowed their voices.
This scene also fell in the eyes of Wei Xingzhen not far away.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heartβhe had finally caught up, and he knew that today's things would not be so simple.
In the snow, Feng Yan was unusually silent, and the old man did not answer many words thrown by Feng Yan.
They walked slowly along the official road, and Feng Yan saw several peach blossom guards standing and chatting in the corridor from a distance, those faces looked very young, and their eyes lit up when they chatted with each other.
"I saw from the newspaper that Erlang, Sanlang and Liulang are going to return to Luoyang in the next few days." Feng Yan suddenly spoke, "Does my aunt know about this?" β
"I found out last night."
"My aunt thinks...... Is this a good thing or a bad thing? β
Feng Yan smiled, she glanced at Feng Yan meaningfully, Ah Yan can ask this question, then it is not too bad.
The two slowly left the palace and walked down the mountain road, where a carriage was already waiting.
"Auntie, where are you taking me?"
"Six Runes Garden." Feng Yu replied, "Where is ...... The best place to talk about these things. β
Feng Yan was stunned.
Feng Yan's maid Agarwood had already taken back the umbrella in Feng Yan's hand and waited for Feng Yan to get into the car, but the latter suddenly stopped.
The old man opened the curtain of the car and looked at Feng Yan, who suddenly hesitated, "Didn't you ask before, what is under the ground of Liufu Mountain?" β
Feng Yan's eyes were slightly cold, "Auntie knows?" β
Feng Yu laughed, "I don't know...... How would I know? I don't think anyone in the world knows anything like that, but once upon a time β a long time ago, there were people there who asked the same question as you. Doesn't Ah Yan want to hear about it? β
