Chapter Ninety-One: Marriage
Since the disaster relief has passed, the people behind the scenes have not done anything.
Everything is not peaceful, time has gradually passed several years, in these few years, Feng Nanyi has handled state affairs very well, and has been praised by many people in the court.
Feng Shangchen has also traveled to various countries in the past few years, and has selected the most suitable venue for the establishment of a trade center.
Along with this good news comes bad news.
That is Lan Luoshuang's condition.
Recently, Feng Nanyi received a letter from Feng Shangchen's handwriting, and the content of the letter was that he was coming back.
Naturally, everyone knows what that means when they come back.
Everyone was silent.
Until, Feng Shangchen hugged the luggage left by Lan Luoshuang.
"Her last wish was to see the great river and the sea, but I couldn't take her to do it. So I scattered her ashes between the three rivers and five lakes, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish. Feng Shangchen silently borrowed wine to kill his sorrows in the dormitory.
Lan Luoshuang died of illness a long time ago, and in the remaining years, he walked all over the place alone with Lan Luoshuang's ashes.
Everywhere you go, there is dust under your feet.
"You've grown up."
Feng Shangchen quietly looked at Feng Nanqi, who had fallen and moved, and the little girl who was originally mediocre in appearance was now also beautiful.
"As you grow up, you become more and more like her." He laughed, then gulped down his own wine.
Feng Nanqi did not stop him from drinking like this, but sat on the side and fried chestnuts with sugar that he had just bought from the market.
"I haven't seen you in so many years, and you're getting old." She said quietly.
"Don't you hate her for treating her as your mother?" Feng Shangchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was flushed.
Feng Nanqi quietly peeled the sugar and fried the chestnuts, and then poured a glass of wine for Feng Shangchen.
"I've figured it out after living so long."
After doing all this, she poured herself a glass of wine.
"You said that both of us are from modern times, and we can be regarded as people who have lived two lifetimes. This is something that many people can't ask for. She smiled a little and continued: "I think that God is willing to give me this opportunity to see her again, and it is already a great gift to be with her for so long, so I dare not ask for anything more." β
"Then do you still want to be an empress?" Feng Shangchen's originally cloudy eyes began to have a glimmer of light.
"Didn't our original goal be to create a world where everyone is equal?" Feng Nanqi said, "For me, it doesn't matter if I don't want to be an empress, if others can do it, why can't I take a step back?" β
"In the past few years that the eldest brother has been in charge of the country, Lancheng has become different from before. He's trying to make himself better, so why can't you just look at him? β
The wine in his throat was a little spicy, and he choked Feng Nanqi and coughed a few times.
The corners of Feng Shangchen's mouth rose slightly when he saw her like this, "Because people are selfish, I want to leave the good ones to you." β
"Why? Is it because I'm from modern times? Feng Nanqi frowned, his tone puzzled.
"No, it's not just that." Feng Shangchen took another sip of wine, paused, and then continued.
"Maybe to you, I'm just a fellow of you from the modern era.
But for me, I wanted to create a dynasty that was unique. β
He sat on the edge of his desk in such a decadence, as if he was thinking about something long ago.
"When I was young, I met Lu Wanwan's mother, who is also a beautiful woman."
"But she chose the path of wearing battle armor, and in the end she still failed to overcome the obstacles." He let out a long sigh, as if sighing that the white horse had passed by, and everything was gradually becoming different.
"I remember she once said to me that everyone in this world thinks that women should have husbands and children, and should sit at home and do nothing.
The woman is like a tool man to them, and she is left there after giving birth.
But she just wants to prove that women can also go to the battlefield, women can also defend their families and the country, and women should not bow to their original weakness and let men beat and abuse.
It was then that I realized that I had been immersed in this patriarchal society.
There is no pride in being a human being in the new era.
So from that moment on, I wanted to be like her, to prove to the world, to prove everything she wanted to prove.
Maybe saying it will make you think I'm being selfish, or that you're being taken advantage of by me.
From the time you were born, from the time I knew you were a girl, from the time you told me that you are from the modern era like me.
You're part of my plan. β
He showed a smile, three points of treachery, three points of insidiousness, four points of innocence.
"But now I don't think so, because Frost told me that she wants you to live this life in peace.
So, I want to give you a chance to choose.
Until I die, you can choose whether you want to be my pawn or not. β
After listening to this, Feng Nanqi took a sip of wine cautiously, not daring to do it like the first time.
"You're such a scumbag, you've been planning to use me since I was born."
"Haha, yes. After all, you're still my daughter, what? Call me Daddy? β
"Get out."
The originally heavy topic became lighter unconsciously, and the two began to fight and spent what should have been a sleepless night together.
Since Feng Shangchen returned, Feng Nanyi has ended his imprisonment, but in the past few years, he has received the support of most factions in the court.
But Feng Shangchen still wants to put Feng Nanqi on the throne, but he lacks a suitable excuse.
"Son-in-law, see father."
Feng Nanyi received Feng Shangchen's command to come to the audience, and this meeting between father and son was undoubtedly to commend the achievements of the prison country.
Feng Nanyi didn't understand Feng Shangchen's intentions very well, and compared to his attitude towards him after coming back this time, he was even very serious.
This move made the one-sided situation in the court even more obvious, and some officials who had been vacillating have defected, and there are some people who have shown favor these days.
After the father and son exchanged pleasantries, Feng Nanyi finally said what he was thinking.
"Father, my son has a request." He said, but was interrupted by the fashion dust.
"Needless to say, my request is for one thing." The fashion dust and yellow robe are added, and they are still so majestic and irresistible.
"I've traveled around the past few years, and when I come back, the bosses in front of you have reached the age suitable for marriage, and I want to arrange a family affair for you."
Feng Nanyi looked at Feng Shangchen, what he wanted to talk about today was also this matter, it was Qing Zhi who gave him and Yin Xueyou a marriage.
But for some reason, there was a hint of uneasiness in his heart.
"What does Father mean...?" He cautiously tried to ask, but as he approached the answer, he became more worried.
"Today, Su Xiang also proposed that I arrange a family affair for his daughter."
Hearing this, Feng Nanyi chuckled in his heart, and the uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
"This Su Yan is versatile, gentle and generous, and is the most suitable candidate for the princess."
"No, Father!" Feng Nanyi shouted out in a hurry.
"Erchen, Erchen already has a heart."
He realized that he had lost his temper, and immediately fell to his knees in the hope that Feng Shangchen would not order such a marriage.
"It's Yin Xueyou, right?" Feng Shangchen looked at him quietly, and as soon as he said this, Feng Nanyi was extremely surprised.
Obviously, he knows why, why do you want to beat mandarin ducks so well.
"In the past few years, what do you think of my dragon chair?" Feng Shangchen spoke lightly, but this startled Feng Nanyi.
"The sons and daughters were ordered to supervise the country's duties, and they never dared to exceed the rules." Feng Nanyi had already begun to panic, and he didn't have much reason to think about Feng Shangchen's thoughts now.
"If you want to secure the position of this prince, you must marry this Su Yan." Feng Shangchen said it clearly word by word.
"The two most powerful factions in the court today are the left and right phases. The power on Yin Xiang's side is indeed greater than that of Su Xiang, but now that Yin Xiang is old, there is no other popular person in the Yin Mansion.
In the future, the situation will inevitably be one-sided towards Su Xiang, if you want to sit in this position, this is the only choice. β
Feng Nanyi listened quietly below, but the heart of the fist was already sweating.
He has this ambition, but is he going to abandon Yin Xueyou like this?
"I'm still thinking about this matter, you can go back and think about it yourself. I will give you three days, and after three days, I will go to Sufu to propose marriage. Feng Shangchen quietly looked at him with a dead heart.
Feng Nanyi left the palace in despair, he had already understood Feng Shangchen's intentions.
Is the effort he has made over the years still not enough in his eyes?
Why?
He is obviously working hard, why is Feng Shangchen unwilling to admit him?
For the next three days, Feng Nanyi closed his door, which shook the original one-sided situation in the court.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty guessed for a while, and Feng Shangchen, who was sitting on the court, quietly watched all these changes.
Outside the city gate, Yin Xueyou has been quietly waiting for Feng Nanyi to come to the appointment, and there have been bad rumors recently, and she is very worried.
There was a sound of walking behind him, Yin Xueyou turned around slightly excitedly, and when she saw the slightly haggard Feng Nanyi, she hugged him without saying a word.
Feeling the softness in his arms, Feng Nanyi instantly felt his body stiff, and after coming back to his senses, he hugged Yin Xueyou with his backhand, and then buried it deep between her necks.
"Xueyou, I'm sorry." He confided in a low voice, hoarse and tired. Yin Xueyou was a little unsure, but she still hugged him gently.
In fact, she likes him very much and relies on her like a child.
"Xueyou, I'm sorry." He pressed his forehead against her and said that although Yin Xueyou didn't understand what was going on, one thing she could be sure of was that it had something to do with her.
"It doesn't matter, no matter what, Xue You will always be by Brother Yi's side to accompany Brother Yi." She said.
The emotional route of the royal family has always been difficult, never to say that there is no true love, but after weighing the pros and cons, they choose to give up.
Yin Xueyou vaguely felt that something bad would happen in the future, but she was not afraid.
Because she has always believed in Feng Nanyi, believes that her Yi brother will not betray this relationship.
Feng Shangchen in the main hall looked at Feng Nanyi, who was kneeling there, and his tone was flat, "You really think about it?" β
"Yes." Feng Nanyi gritted his teeth and said, almost reluctantly saying the next words, "Erchen is willing to marry Su Xiang's daughter." β
"Our law is clear to you, monogamy, once you marry Su Yan, then you can't marry Yin Xueyou again.
As a prince, once you regret your marriage, you will become the laughing stock of the world, and the courtiers who support Su Xiang will also defect one after another. Feng Shangchen calmly analyzed for him, he wanted to use this marriage to persuade Feng Nanyi to dissuade him, but since he chose it this way, it would be his wish.
There will be gains and losses, there will be no situation in the world where the fish and the bear's paw are both, and he does not know the future path, but it will definitely be the ending he wants.
The will to give marriage was soon issued, and Arashiro had a new topic for a while.
In the Su Mansion, Xiaomi happily prepared a dowry for Su Yan, but Su Yan had a sad face.
"Miss, why are you upset? Haven't you always liked the Great Prince? She didn't quite understand Su Yan's thoughts, she was so unhappy that she had dreamed of things that she had dreamed about.
"Alas, it would be nice if he cared about me, but like this..." Su Yan's eyes showed sadness, the twisted melon was not sweet, how could she not know that for Feng Nanyi, she was just a pawn on the throne.
Xiaomi put down the silk flower in her hand and comforted her: "It is said that this day has been in love for a long time, as long as the young lady marries the eldest prince, there will be more opportunities in the future." β
Listening to Xiaomi's naΓ―ve thoughts, Su Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You're still too naΓ―ve." β
But if that's the case, how nice it would be.
The calm and tranquil atmosphere here is completely different from this is the violent temper of the palace Feng Nanqi.
As soon as he heard about this incident, Feng Nanqi went out in an instant, and kicked the door several times and was stopped by several little eunuchs outside the door.
"Fuck your uncle's fashion dust! You turtle old king, tiger poison doesn't eat children! How can you bear to harm your own son like this! β
Father-in-law Bu was so frightened when he heard this that his soul was about to fly, "Little princess, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji." β
"your grandmother's fairy tales, you give me quietly, labor and management have lived for two lifetimes, and they are still filthy words! Don't stop me, see if I don't smash this palace today! Feng Nanqi didn't fight in one place, "Feng Shangchen, you turtle old Wang Ba, scolding you Wang Ba, you really do a turtle with a shrunken head, aren't you?" Give labor and management out! β
As soon as the words fell, the door was opened by the sound of "Peng", and Feng Shangchen was greeted by him.
Feng Nanqi, who hadn't reacted yet, was slapped hard, which made her head buzz.
"It's just that I usually spoil you too much, so I get used to you like this, and look at where you are a princess now.
Drag her down and give me a heavy penalty of 20 boards and a month of confinement. β
Feng Shangchen's sudden change of sex made her unable to react, and she looked back at Feng Shangchen in confusion after being taken away.
What do you want to do?
The board fell on top of her again and again, and the pain interrupted her train of thought.
It's really ruthless!
In the end, she was carried back by the flying eagle, although it was a shame to faint from the pain.
But she still couldn't figure out what Feng Shangchen's plans were to do this.
