Chapter 198: The Quiet Years in His Heart
After returning to the Chu State, he had already made a decision, he would marry Princess Luoli as the concubine in the future, so as to envelop the Yan Kingdom.
Xiwei once told him that she would follow Princess Luoli for the rest of her life and protect her, and she would go wherever she went. He knew that if he married Luoli, Xiwei would also come to him.
Everything went according to his plan, and it was a matter of course.
On the day he married Luoli, he learned that Luoli did not have a dancing girl named Xiwei by his side to marry. A little loss, in his heart, that day, he drank a few more glasses of wine.
But on the night of the cave room, when he picked up the red hijab, what he saw was Xiwei. After a momentary difference, the heart is joyful. Joyful.
He knew that as the crown prince, he should be angry, and he should immediately have someone to thoroughly investigate why the person he was close to was not the real princess. In the past, he must have ruthlessly exposed this matter and made a decision immediately.
But Xiwei was an accident in his life.
Xu is because he is drunk, and Xu is because the pear blossoms were too beautiful back then. He didn't know why, anyway, he just wanted to be wrong right now, he just wanted to be with her.
They will not expose her, nor will they let her be punished in any way.
After a glass of wine, the cave room.
That night was a panic he had never had, a heartbeat he had never had. Impulses like never before. It is also a peace of mind that has never been felt before.
The warm jade smoke of the hibiscus tent rose, and the spring color of the night melted the cold ice in the dream.
The next day, he sent someone to find out the whereabouts of Luoli. He didn't embarrass her to tell the truth, Xu was forced by Emperor Yan to do this, and Emperor Yan didn't really marry the princess. Xu is princess had an accident, and she was forced to marry her.
But Maple Dust must investigate secretly and pretend not to know about it, only then can her life be spared.
Fengchen has always been very busy, state affairs, military affairs, and internal disputes. But he still remembers her all the time, since Feng Chen can remember, he has never cared so much about a person, and he will want to give her anything new. In between reviewing the recitals, he would also think about what she was doing at the moment.
Perhaps, a prince who cares about the crown princess is a matter of course for others. But for Feng Chen, it was the first time in all these years that he cared so much about a person. No matter how smart and talented a person is, his energy is limited. The reason why he can calculate the situation in the world in this way is also because his mind is full of those things and never thinks about anything else.
Now that he has a person in his heart, he is a little more flustered. In fact, he never knew how to express his feelings, let alone how to get close to other people's hearts.
Since he was a child, he grew up under the ruthless education of his father's heavenly family, with little care and warmth. Since he was a child, he knew that he wanted to be a high-minded person, a person without feelings. He must be majestic, and he must be at a distance from men.
In this way, people can be convinced. You can't let others see your true feelings and thoughts, and you can't be kind to people and women.
He never knew how to love someone. But unknowingly fell in love with someone.
He tried to tell her not to worry, not to be afraid, but often he didn't know how to express that feeling. Just listened to the palace people over and over again about her whereabouts for a day, what she did, and what she ate. Then he would silently think about what she needed and what she was worried about.
He was afraid that she would not be able to eat to her stomach, so he sent someone to find the best cook in Yan Kingdom. I also eat Yan national food every day.
He was afraid that she would not be used to the life of the prince's mansion, so he silently replaced the maids and attendants around her with Yan Guoren.
She liked pear blossoms, so he renamed the dormitory to the former pear hall. He planted a pear orchard for her, and there were one hundred and seven pear trees, all of which he had personally selected.
He invited the best musicians from Yan and Chu to stay in the side hall of the prince's mansion for her to accompany her and dance.
But because the musician invited is very famous, he still lives in the prince's mansion. There are gradually some rumors in the market that the prince is now singing every day, and he is not as diligent in political affairs as before.
This matter also reached the ears of Emperor Chu, and Emperor Chu was dissatisfied with this. Fengchen disobeyed him and was unwilling to dismiss the musicians in the house, which was the first time he disobeyed Emperor Chu. He was fined and confined for a few days, and all he could do was to be more diligent in political affairs, so that Emperor Chu could see that he was not addicted to wine and songs.
Fengchen rebelled against Emperor Chu for the second time, but Emperor Chu asked her to accept a side concubine. He is unwilling to accept side concubines and concubines. This time, Emperor Chu was furious, and then the court gradually had remarks about abolishing the prince.
No matter how strong a person's ability, talent, prestige, or how terrible and powerful he is in the eyes of others, he will be constrained by all forces, and it is impossible for him to live as he wants.
However, people who don't know always think that he can cover the sky with one hand, always think that he is more powerful than mortals, and always think that it is he who controls and decides everything.
About these things about maple dust, the former who lives in a simple place doesn't know.
Maple Dust wouldn't tell her about that. He is unwilling to show his helplessness and struggle to others, let alone his loved ones.
For Fengchen, the time he spent with Xi Wei in the Prince's Mansion was the most relaxed and happy time he had in these years.
It seems that with that longing in my heart, I have more expectations every day. This kind of longing is soft, warm, and the corners of the lips will rise when you think about it.
During that time, after being busy with political affairs, he would silently come to her dormitory. She often danced in the courtyard, or on the long bridge, or in the pear orchard.
Every time he saw her dance, he would watch her dance without saying a word until she got tired of dancing, or saw himself.
At that time, without those power calculations, without those iron horses, everything was simple and quiet. Nor will he bring the affairs of the court to the relationship between the two of them.
He loved watching her dance like that.
Especially in the pear orchard.
She danced selflessly, and occasionally a few pear blossoms fell. There is no wind and the courtyard is quiet and beautiful. Moonlight is also soft. That picture often goes into the dream of maple dust.
The bits and pieces of those days are the most precious in Fengchen's heart.
She patiently told him dance music, music theory, and light-hearted stories to make him laugh.
She made pear blossom cake with her own hands. When picking flowers, his hand was stung by a bee and became red and swollen for several days.
The pear blossoms she made for him were stained with dew and danced all over the world. I accidentally sprained my ankle and insisted on finishing the dance, and I couldn't walk normally after a month of rest.
She would dance in the pear orchard until late and wait for him to come back. Sometimes, even from dark to dawn.
He knew that she must have put herself in her heart.
However, he always has his own mission.
He regarded it as his mission to dominate the world, stop the war with war, and seek great harmony. Since childhood, he has also been taught by his father that with this talent, he will have to make a difference. To inherit this destiny must be sacrificed.
