Fengmou in troubled times

Chapter 66 1

Regarding the fact that Emperor Zhao Fang Hua sent someone to invite Feng Yinran into the palace while Fang Linyuan was away, when Fang Linyuan returned home and asked about it, Feng Yinran only reasoned that Fang Hua had asked about their previous affairs in Rongshao, and in a few words, they brought Feng Yinran into the palace. The past is no longer mentioned.He also covered up the fact that he saw Fang Linyuan and Princess Yiqiu, but in recent days, he was a little attached to Fang Linyuan, and asked Fang Linyuan a lot about the past overtly and secretly.After this battle, the two became very intimate.

This time, although Fang Linyuan did everything in the disaster relief in Gaohe River, Emperor Zhao relied heavily on him, so he wanted to assign him to the sixth department several times to take care of it.But because the new year was approaching, Fang Linyuan excused that he had just returned from Yaohe, and he needed to take care of the sword wound, so he asked Emperor Zhao for another month's vacation, only to stay in the mansion to read and write, and to accompany Feng Yinran to cook in person every day Make some snacks and meals, and live a leisurely and comfortable life.

King Xiuze lived comfortably at home, but the second prince in charge of the punishment department and the fourth prince in charge of the military department were extremely busy.Baiguan has been on vacation since the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and did not officially report back to the Yamen until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month after the Lantern Festival.In addition to expediting the completion of the urgent official duties at hand, there is also the need to dispatch personnel who will be on duty at the yamen during the holidays. However, the bones of the fifth prince who manages the Ministry of Rites are not yet cold, and the eighth prince was reprimanded by Emperor Zhao for losing his job in the Ministry of Industry. The remaining eleven princes are still young. Xiao, the other four books of the Shangshu have to ask the second king and the fourth king if they have anything to do, but they annoy the two.

It wasn't all annoying things, though.At the end of each year, every family buys new year's goods, bids farewell to the old and welcomes the new, and the gangsters are more rampant.When the twelfth lunar month just entered, the second prince's father-in-law, Ying Yinggong, took the initiative to ask Zhao Emperor Fang Hua to go to Langya Village on the outskirts of the capital to suppress the bandits. Dens of several thieves.Zhaodi Longyan Dayue, when conferring the Duke of England, he also rewarded Fang Liancheng, his son-in-law, the second prince, and Fang Jinghui, the fourth prince who presided over the Ministry of War, and finally surpassed the limelight of His Royal Highness when he was conferred.

Fang Liancheng's self-satisfaction and Fang Jinghui's sophistication, Fang Linyuan naturally noticed it, but he only sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and he didn't even visit the door himself.Still quietly being his Prince Xiaoyao made many officials who were waiting to see him squeezed out by the arrogant Second Prince deeply regretted.

The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, which all the officials have been looking forward to, finally comes. The yamen is closed and the court meeting is suspended.There are lights and festoons everywhere, and the firecrackers are so lively.Fang Linyuan, who didn't hear anything outside the window, ordered the cook to make fine and smooth almond cheese, and was watching Feng Yinran drink it while it was hot.

I don't know if it was because she caught the cold in the wind blowing in the palace last time, Feng Yinran has been coughing intermittently for the past two days.Fang Linyuan grabbed him over to check his pulse, understanding his reluctance to drink bitter traditional Chinese medicine, so he arranged some medicinal meals for him to recuperate his body.But this person is still unwilling to understand his painstaking efforts, even the dessert has to be urged four times before he is willing to eat.

"You know that I don't like sweets very much." Feng Yinran frowned as she stirred the almond cheese in the bowl with a spoon, "Can't I just drink it?"

Shaking his head firmly, Fang Linyuan smiled and personally scooped up a spoonful and brought it to his mouth, "Do you want me to feed you with my mouth?"

Feng Yinran raised her head and stared at him, but unfortunately Fang Linyuan ignored his gaze at all, just looked at him with a smile, as if the moon was beautiful and bright.Defeated under his scorching gaze, Feng Yinran helplessly drank the almond cheese in the bowl in one gulp, the sweet, thick and steaming soup suddenly rolled in his stomach, although it was a little stuck in his throat The discomfort finally suppressed the restlessness and dryness in his stomach. "Tell the cook to put less sugar next time." Feng Yinran quickly took a sip of water to wash away the strong smell of almonds in her mouth.

Seeing his childish appearance, Fang Linyuan couldn't help laughing, brought his own bowl and drank half of it with him. "It's really not as delicious as the master made when I was young." He said with his finger to wipe off the white foam remaining on Feng Yinran's lips, "Let them try making almond tofu tomorrow."

Changing back and forth, it wasn't all almonds. Feng Yinran stuck out her tongue and pushed the empty bowl in front of her far away. "I didn't realize you liked almonds so much before."

"I don't like it too much." The dried fruits and candies prepared for the Chinese New Year were put together on a beautiful plate and placed on the table, which naturally contained almonds.Fang Linyuan squeezed one and played with it with his fingertips, the smile on his face was a little shallow, "The nanny who took care of me when I was young was not dedicated, and often left me to play alone. If she saw me behaved well when she came back, she would take it with me. Give me a sweet almond as a reward." He talked about these things with a calm expression, as if he had nothing to do with him. "Later, someone deliberately teased me, thinking that I really liked this thing, and gave me a pack of bitter almonds. But it happened that Master saw it and confiscated it all."

These words were said lightly at this time, but Feng Yinran couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat as he imagined the situation that day.Even an ignorant person like him knows that eating too much bitter almonds can cause poisoning, ranging from nausea and vomiting, headaches, dizziness, and general weakness.Severe cases can lead to difficulty in breathing, unconsciousness, and finally death from paralysis of the respiratory center.Adults can be poisoned if they take [-] to [-] raw bitter almonds orally, [-] to [-] will be fatal, and children will die if they eat [-].Don't look at the delicate and weak beauties in the body, but they are really dangerous, and if they are not careful, they will die without a place to die.

Looking at the bowl of almond cheese on the table, Fang Linyuan didn't seem to take the fact that he was almost poisoned to death at all. "At that time, Master liked to eat sweets and snacks. When we found a new recipe, we would always let the two of us try it. She often failed and made a mess in the kitchen, but the almond cheese and almond tofu tasted very good."

He talked about the only remarkable happy time in his childhood, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he didn't know whether the joyful smile was to comfort himself or others, "She often said that it is easy to defeat the enemy, but how difficult it is Use your opponents for your own use, and always be the one who controls the situation." It is really tiring to be calculating all the time, but since he was very young, Fang Linyuan has understood that in this world that eats people but does not spit out bones, There is no other way but careful planning, and the weak and cowardly are not qualified to survive.Ling Ye said that he shouldn't even use love to plan and plan, but this is already his instinct, deeply rooted in his blood, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of it for a while.

Reaching out to take the almond in Fang Linyuan's hand, the more Feng Yinran knew about his past, the more regretful she was for not getting to know him sooner, and walking hand in hand with him through the once boundless darkness. It would be nice to have a little more comfort.

"If I were you, I'm afraid that I will feel jealous when I see Xingren in this life." Feng Yinran held Fang Linyuan's hand with emotion, and started to investigate seriously. He was inferior to Fang Linyuan in many aspects, and he didn't know what he was capable of. Make Fang Linyuan treat him like this.From being inexplicably attracted to him at the beginning, to falling into this unknowingly deep feeling, now Fang Linyuan's joys and sorrows have been completely involved with his own emotions, if he loses this person in front of him, Where is the love that has nowhere to rest?

"Linyuan..." Sighing and murmuring the other person's name, Feng Yinran couldn't help kissing his lips, the aroma of almonds and glutinous rice lingered between her lips and teeth, "In the days to come, I will always be by your side... ..."

When Feng Yinran said this promise, he really meant it sincerely, but he didn't expect that the word "future" is the most unpredictable and has no fixed formula.On the day when I have experienced many hardships, my body and mind are exhausted, and my flesh and blood are mutilated, when I think of today's honey and oil, I can only sigh "God's tricks".

At this moment, Feng Yinran and Fang Linyuan, who were still immersed in deep affection, looked at each other and smiled, their fingers clasped together, and even the air in the room seemed to be full of charm.Someone just wanted to disturb her at this time. Seeing the steward running over panting, Feng Yinran quickly pulled out her hand and looked serious.Fang Linyuan looked at Smiling, but saw that the steward saluted him, but his eyes fell on Feng Yinran who was ashamed: "My lord, someone outside the mansion handed over a sign begging to see you."

Although he knew the identity of Marquis Feng Yinran, the steward still obediently used his previous address, but became extremely respectful to him.Unexpectedly, someone found Prince Xiuze's mansion instead of looking for Fang Linyuan, but came to him?Feng Yinran smiled, and took the Moyu sign, but her face was stunned.Fang Linyuan went up to take a look, but saw a small jade tablet with a single word engraved on the back:

"Yu."
