Chapter 17 - Princess Qingxuan (I)
Yuan Yu took Feng Yuchong and his sister Feng Shanshan from his tea shop back to his home in Shengcheng, and Yuan Yu didn't care if his tea shop was taken care of, so he took Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan back to his home in Shengcheng. Yuan Yu and his wife lived in this relatively remote residence near the east gate of Shengcheng, and they usually did not attract the attention of others, even if they brought two young people, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, to this place, they did not arouse the suspicion of the surrounding neighbors.
Yuan Yu knocked on the door of his house gently, and shouted inside with a smile: "Lady, I brought my friends back, and these two friends may still want to see each other!" Yuan Yu said this, which made Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan more and more curious, who was Yuan Yu's wife, and why did she know them?
In less than half a minute, the wooden door suddenly opened, and a petite head poked out of it, and asked softly, "Oh, I don't know which two friends I want to meet?"
Yuan Yu's wife said that she still left the door open, Yuan Yu walked into her house with a smile, at this time Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan really saw the true appearance of this so-called "Yuan Couch's wife", this is a very young girl, Feng Shanshan whispered in her brother's ear: "This friend's wife of yours seems to be just a little older than us, what is the situation?"
Feng Yuchong also felt a little strange, this so-called "wife" of Yuan Yu was really about the same age as these young people who were not yet twenty years old. According to Feng Yuchong's own memory, Yuan Yu is at least forty years old now, why does his wife look like she is only in her early twenties, and from the outside, this girl who is only a little older than them has a thin figure and a blurred back, accompanied by coughing from time to time, and at a glance, he knows that he is a person who is not in good health.
Yuan Yu took Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan into his room, the interior and exterior of the room were very simple, only one medicine jar was placed on the stove, and there was only one iron shovel around. Very simple, only a bed, a table and some things necessary for life, there is nothing other than Chinese New Year's Eve, and the room is very clean and tidy, which is also a different kind of enjoyment in this poor life.
Yuan Yu's wife followed Yuan Yu, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan into this room, and before she could react, Yuan Yuchong, who had already sat down, stood up instantly, walked quickly in front of him, and said softly with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, these two young people are the two partners of your sister Liuli Princess Jiang Yuehan that I once mentioned to you, and as far as I know, the two of them are the two young people who played a vital role in the battle of Qi State against the Feudal Fierce Star. This is Feng Yuchong, and he is also a partner I knew at the time. Assist us in the Holy War against the Holy Emperor's troops in the Eastern Linguan Holy War five years ago. Although our plan did not succeed in the end, Wei Ben and I saw the strength of these two young people. They are the real rising stars of the Qi Kingdom, and even ten or twenty years later, they are the most truly outstanding in the Qi Kingdom. ”
Although Yuan Yu's tone was very calm and steady, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan could hear the unusualness in it, and Yuan Yu actually called his wife "Her Royal Highness the Princess". Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan couldn't help but be suspicious, there is only one person who can be called "Her Royal Highness the Princess" within the current feudal country, and that is their friend and partner Jiang Yuehan, and Her Royal Highness Princess Liuli, who is now the feudal country. And this person who was called "Her Royal Highness the Princess" by Yuan Yu, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan were very curious, wanting to find out where this Royal Highness the Princess was?
In fact, Feng Yuchong already had a guess in his heart, after all, Yuan Yu was still a feudal countryman, and the "Her Royal Highness Princess" he called must not be the princess of Qi State, and there was no princess in Qi Country now. Then, the true identity of Her Royal Highness the princess is actually about to come out. This princess must be the princess of the feudal state, and may be the daughter of the former feudal monarch Guangwujun. But Feng Yuchong himself didn't know much about the true identity of this princess, and they were embarrassed to ask more, so they could only choose to wait for the time being. Waiting for Yuan Yu and Her Royal Highness the princess to hear what they told and helped.
The young woman who was called "Her Royal Highness the Princess" glanced at her eyebrows slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared at Yuan Yu beside her tightly and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't call me Her Royal Highness the Princess." It's not the same anymore."
Yuan Yu seemed to be a little helpless in his heart, and nodded silently. Just stood aside and didn't speak, and the young girl known as Her Royal Highness the Princess picked up a pot of tea in a porcelain bowl from the edge of the table, poured a cup of tea for the two guests in front of Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and explained with a smile: "Please forgive me, two guests, he is not polite to speak." Please forgive me and don't worry about this. After speaking, the girl known as "Her Royal Highness the Princess" gently dusted off the Yuan couch beside her, and silently pulled him to sit down together, sitting opposite Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the brother and sister.
At this time, through the movements and demeanor of this young girl known as "Her Royal Highness the Princess", a sense of atmosphere and calmness was revealed, coupled with her calm tone and unfazed posture, Feng Yuchong completely confirmed the identity of Her Royal Highness the princess, she must be the daughter of Guangwujun, the previous monarch of the feudal country.
Feng Yuchong also vaguely remembered that when he was still in the Royal Academy of Qi State, Jiang Yuehan once mentioned that he grew up in the Imperial Palace of Zhongcheng Fengguo, and he rarely had the opportunity to contact things from the outside world. And when she lived in the Zhongcheng Palace, many harem personnel who knew her true identity and background especially liked to tease her, and bullied her when Guangwujun was in the court for a long time to discuss political affairs. And at that time, there was only one person in the harem of Guangwujun, the monarch of the feudal country, who was sincere to her, and that was the eldest daughter of Guangwujun Buling, Princess Qingxuan Buluan, who was four years older than Jiang Yuehan. This eldest princess has a high status in Guangwujun's harem, not only because her mother is the queen, but also because she is Guangwujun's most beloved eldest daughter besides Jiang Yuehan. It is precisely by relying on the multi-faceted protection and sister-like care of this Qingxuan princess Bu Luan that Bu Yuehan, a princess who has been cold-eyed and discriminated against, can still ensure her dignity and identity. A large part of the reason for this is because of the credit of this Qingxuan princess Buluan.
"You are the princess of Fengguo Qingxuan, right?" Feng Yuchong silently picked up the tea on the table, smiled and asked.
The girl in front of her in a plain dress did not deny this, on the contrary, she replied in a plain voice, even full of a hint of indifference and tiredness: "Yes, I am Princess Qingxuan Buluan, but these are all things in the past, so don't mention it again, if you are really Yuehan's friends, I hope you will help me keep this secret." Yue Han also wrote to me to tell me that they were now on their way to the Qingming Mountains to find the next volume of the Esoteric Classics. I don't know much about this, what about you, do you know some of the reasons and inside stories?" After saying this, the Qingxuan princess Bu Luan bowed slightly, although her tone was extremely flat, the meaning in her tone was already self-evident.
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, glanced at each other, and they had completely understood the reason. This Princess Qingxuan is Jiang Yuehan's sister and one of the people Jiang Yuehan respects the most so far. And Princess Qingxuan has another identity, that is, Her Royal Highness the most glorious princess in the country.
After all, Bu Luan is from a royal background, she is very decent in terms of gestures and modest tone and movements, even though what she said is not polite, but it still makes Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan sound more comfortable. This gentle tone and movements, coupled with such a special identity as hers, made Feng Yuchong can't help but tell the Qingxuan princess Buluan in front of him about their intentions.
By the time Princess Qingxuan Buluan listened to Feng Yuchong, it was already a brief description, Bu Luan herself had a weak physique since she was a child, and she was very prone to illness, and when she was a child, she was even sick more times a year than Jiang Yuehan had been sick until now. Seeing this, Yuan Yu quickly stood up, ran back to the bedside and picked up a piece of herbs, walked out of the door and lit the medicine jar made of ceramics, and went to fry the medicine that Bu Luan needed.
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan cast concerned glances at Princess Qingxuan, but Princess Qingxuan Bu Luan waved her hand gently, her voice was a little low and indifferent, and she said with difficulty: "It's okay, you want to hear my story" After speaking, Bu Luan didn't care about Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan's slightly worried eyes, and slowly began to tell about her past.
"A few years ago, my father Guangwujun was defeated in the battle with the Holy Emperor, my father Guangwujun was the palace concubine in the harem and my mother, that is, the queen of Guangwujun, my father Guangwujun's two sons and one daughter, that is, my brothers and sisters were all sent to the Huangshan Temple in Zhongcheng by the Holy Emperor with courtesy, and among our four children, only I was because I usually took great care of my maids and the people around me, when the Holy Emperor sent an army to forcibly send me away, none of the maids and eunuchs around me betrayed her, but worked together to secretly send me out of Zhongcheng, thus avoiding the most severe pursuit of the Holy Emperor. However, due to my own health, I can't go too far. Therefore, I have not completely left the realm of Zhongcheng, and I have been directly targeted by the army under the Holy Emperor. At that time, my life was already on the line of life and death, and I could be directly taken by the Holy Emperor's men at any time. Because for the Holy Emperor, we, the children of the four Guangwu Monarchs, are the people who pose the greatest threat to the Holy Emperor's throne besides our father."
