Chapter 60: Returning to the Dynasty with Joy
Fu Huanqing returned to the court.
On the day Fu Shuai returned to the court, the entire Lanling City celebrated. The girls of the entire Lanling City poured into the streets, took off the silk flowers on the hairpins, took out the handkerchiefs hidden in their arms, and even melons and fruits, and threw themselves to the triumphant return of the Great Zhou Army, enthusiastically and sincerely expressing their admiration for the soldiers who defended the country and chasing the officers and soldiers brought into the city by Fu Huanqing.
Fu Huanqing dodged left and right to avoid the throws of all admirers, and finally caught a small cabbage, frowned and looked at Zhen Liancheng, who was dressed in white and snowy not far in front of him: "What does Zhen Xiang mean?" ”
"Come with me." Zhen Liancheng was dressed in clothes and hidden in a remote alley.
Fu Huanqing followed up, and soon disappeared from the field of vision of the enthusiastic Lanling people.
In the private room of the teahouse in the South Restaurant, Zhen Liancheng and Fu Huanqing sat opposite each other.
The actors in the audience are babbling and singing:
"Brother Huang, you blamed the general, killed your mother, and got the wrong position, and the people of the world can't spare you......"
"Imperial sister, I know it's wrong, you just spare my life...... Yikes! ”
"General, General! He's my royal brother after all! ”
……
Finally put things right, Zhen Liancheng listened attentively, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The offstage drama is not over yet:
"It is said that the empress Bing Qingyu is very smart, I don't know which son can match?"
"The prime minister is weak and scheming, and the general is undefeated in a hundred battles!"
"Hey, it's really hard to choose......"
The two sat quietly and listened patiently to the play, and finally heard the song end and dispersed. The private room fell silent again, the dark night hung over them, the light of the room was bright and oppressive, and they both saw the complicated expressions in each other's eyes, low and dark, elusive.
The candle flame was bright, shining on Zhen Liancheng and Fu Huanqing, both of them knew each other's thoughts, but they refused to say anything, and only tacitly talked about some trivial matters between the DPRK and China.
Tea smoke curls, outlining all kinds of illusory shapes in mid-air, and then turning into intangible.
Fu Huanqing drank all the tea in his hand in one gulp, smashed his mouth and said, "It's not as good as the tea in Chonghua Palace." ”
Zhen Liancheng's tone was leisurely, meaning something: "But now, Your Majesty is no longer His Royal Highness, and Rende Palace is not Chonghua Palace." ”
Fu Huanqing smiled slightly: "I have been away from Beijing for a few months, and Zhen Xiang is not the original son of Liancheng, let's say, what do you want to do?" ”
Zhen Liancheng showed a faint smile that was almost invisible: "Please give up the position of imperial husband." ”
Fu Huanqing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Zhen Liancheng, do you know what you're talking about?" He didn't know what Zhen Liancheng knew, but he knew that he ended the fight with the Northern Wei Dynasty so decisively, not only thanks to Nie Feng's compass and clairvoyance, but also a letter from Jia Dongfeng.
The gold-sprinkled silk note that is as smooth as jade only has two lines of words:
The grass knot is concentric, and it will be a bosom friend.
Fu Huanqing, who received the letterhead, was overjoyed, waved his gun and commanded the army, and expelled Xiao Hengyuan for three hundred miles in one go, and then rushed back to Lanling with both sun and moon.
He wanted to tell her his heart in person, since the first time he entered the palace with his mother, the first time he saw Princess Donghua in Chonghua Palace looking back and smiling in the spring garden and dimming the strange flowers and plants around him, he thought that if he wants to marry a wife when he grows up, he must marry a stunning woman like Princess Donghua; Later, he had to become her best friend, and he thought that even if he could only be a woman in this life, he would find the best man in the world for the most beautiful and intelligent Princess Donghua in the world; Later, she found his male body, whether it was the grinding of his ears and temples when he was healing, or the kiss of the dragonfly in the Langya bamboo forest, he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself; Now that he had finally won her heart, and had her promise to be of one heart, he just wanted to hurry back to her, look into her eyes and tell her that he was willing.
Instead of sitting in this narrow teahouse, facing the man opposite who doesn't know the height of the sky. Why did he let him give up the woman he loved, and why did he let him give up the position of the imperial husband?
"You also know that Princess Huaibi is the bloodline of the Zhen family...... Zhen Liancheng said lightly, "She won't recognize you as a father." ”
Fu Huan hooked his lips and smiled affectionately: "Yes, Princess Huaibi is the bloodline of the Zhen family, although His Majesty treats her as his own, but she is the bloodline of the Zhen family after all." ”
Zhen Liancheng was shocked: "You mean ......?" ”
"Princess Huaibi is the daughter of Zhen Lianbi and Shangguan Jinghong, and she has nothing to do with Your Majesty." Fu Huanqing sneered, "Your Majesty, back then, it was just a day when I chatted with Zhen Lianbi for half a night. There is still half a night, because my hands were heavier when I robbed people, and Zhen Lianbi slept for a longer time. Before the wedding, he sent a picture of hating the peach blossoms of the spring and late years, which caused Jia Dongfeng's heart to be confused, and of course he couldn't help but be a little heavier.
"That'...... Didn't Your Majesty tell the world that she was pregnant? Zhen Liancheng's face turned pale.
Fu Huanqing fiddled with the bowl of the teacup, and said expressionlessly: "That's the bet that Your Majesty made and lost the bet with me." I said that His Majesty had tarnished his name, but I was afraid that Zhen Lianbi might not appreciate it, and he was not even willing to defend His Majesty's reputation. Sure enough, after that night, Zhen Lianbi only cared about coaxing Shangguan Jinghong, and the Jingzhong family maliciously speculated about the dirty name of the sewage, and he didn't explain it for His Majesty, for fear of tarnishing his name. Even if His Majesty announced that he was happy, he still did not say a word, as if it had nothing to do with him. However, it is also thanks to His Majesty's extra move, otherwise how could he repay his grievances with virtue under the anger of the first emperor, steal the dragon and turn the phoenix and transfer Huaibi to his knees to raise? Leave such a drop of blood for your Zhen family? ”
Zhen Liancheng stared blankly at Fu Huanqing's gloomy face under the light, and suddenly felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and it took a long time to exhale a breath, and said in a low voice: "Everyone has their own place, General Fu's life is destined to be the treasure sword of the Great Zhou, to guard the wind and sand of the Great Zhou, and drink the blood of the invaders, it is impossible to stand side by side with His Majesty in Lanling City." He knows Zhen Lianbi, he cherishes his reputation like an egret cherishes his feathers, and it is indeed possible to do it regardless of the reputation of the royal princess to fulfill his flawless reputation. Moreover, he was really a victim from the beginning to the end. The peach blossom picture of hating Chunchi was forged by Ye Nanfeng, and the robbery on the eve of the wedding was done by Fu Huanqing, and even claiming to be pregnant was also done by Jia Dongfeng himself. All the while, he just didn't say anything, he didn't do anything. And once he says something and does something, the dirty water on Jia Dongfeng will not be less, but it will affect the innocent him, and the world will say that Lian Bi Gongzi deceived the world and stole his name, and Lian Bi Gongzi was greedy for vanity and hooked up with the princess...... From Zhen Lianbi's point of view, what he did was not wrong at all, he just didn't care about Jia Dongfeng.
"Zhen Liancheng!" Fu Huanqing slapped his palm on the table, gritting his teeth and looking angry, "In terms of cold nature, you are really similar to your brother." Are you Your Majesty a plaything that your Zhen family wants to abandon if you want to? If there is a person in the world who knows Your Majesty better, understands Your Majesty better, and is more worthy of Your Majesty than I do, I will give in to you. But if it were you, I would never give in. "Zhen Lianbi is as cold as water to Jia Dongfeng, and Zhen Liancheng has plotted against Jia Dongfeng several times, and he is as cold as a knife. If Jia Dongfeng hadn't taken care of him, he would have cut him down on the day he returned to Lanling.
