Fortune Princess

Chapter 35
Yuanhou Mansion in Beijing Township.

The steward who came back from Anping County knocked on the gate of the Hou's Mansion in a bit of embarrassment.The porter poked his head out from inside, and just as he was about to curse someone, he saw the steward's face clearly.

"It's you? Come in quickly. Yesterday, the Marquis asked you if you were back."

The steward glanced at the sky, thinking that Lord Hou had just come to court not long ago: "Has Master Hou ever returned to the mansion?"

"Not yet, I guess the hour should be back soon." The porter shook his head, and when he looked up, he saw Lord Hou's sedan chair parked outside the door.

"Master Hou is back!"

Huo Ting, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, stepped out of the sedan chair, dressed in the official residence.

"Greetings, Lord Hou!" The steward hurriedly greeted him, almost crying, this time going to Anping County, his life was really in danger.

"It's you? How's it going? Is there any news about Madam?" Huo Ting hurriedly asked when he saw that it was actually the steward he sent out to find Fu Qingyu.

The steward knelt on the ground with a thud: "It's a little incompetent, I couldn't find Madam."

"Do you have a clue?" Huo Ting refused to give up.He had already learned from Xiao Yichen that Fu Qingyu was still alive, and that the place where Xiao Yichen had been missing for a few days was very close to Anping County, if they met among them, he would be able to find out some clues in Anping County.

"..." The steward was silent, he had no face to face Lord Hou.

"Retire. It's hard work for you to go out for a while. Rest for two days before going back to work." The loss in his heart could not be concealed, and Huo Ting strode into the mansion after ordering.

Qingyu, where are you?
The emperor who had just come to court left Xiao Yichen in the imperial study. After the empress passed away, the eldest son became a little strange to him. He knew that he had once blamed Xiao Yichen for the empress' death, but when he learned that Xiao Yichen's life and death were unknown outside , the emperor really realized how serious a mistake he had made.

"Chen'er, I heard that you often go out of the house recently?" The emperor tried hard to find a topic with a straight face.

"Yes, Royal Father." Xiao Yichen responded with a smile, but felt a little impatient in his heart.

If he has been staying in the prince's mansion, how can he create opportunities for those people?

"Cough, I see that you have been improving recently, but your health is better? Have you let the imperial doctor see you again?" The emperor coughed lightly and asked with concern.

I thought that the following scene should be a scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety, but unfortunately things backfired. Xiao Yichen has grown up, and the current crown prince can withstand the wind and rain alone, and he has long passed the age of needing his father's care: "Thank you, father, for your concern, the child is all well."

Walls have ears, since he returned to the palace, no one knew that his body had fully recovered.Under his operation, the rumors in the palace never ceased. The second prince brought a woman into the palace to meet the imperial concubine. Xiao Yichen knew exactly what the mother and son were plotting.

"Chen'er, you are not young anymore. I decided to pick a time to choose a concubine for you. Do you have someone you like?" The emperor always kept the words of the national teacher in his heart, and asked people to look for a concubine with a phoenix on the sixth day of the Gengwu year. life of the woman.

Xiao Yichen's eyes drooped slightly, could the imperial concubine be impatient?
"Father, my son has just returned from an accident abroad, and the imperial doctor said that his body still needs to be recuperated for a while. The choice of concubine is up to the father." Xiao Yichen's submissive attitude satisfied the emperor, and he felt sorry for his suffering outside.
"That's all, don't rush this matter for a while, it's important to take care of your body."

Xiao Yichen left the imperial study room and looked up at the clear sky. It has only been a long time since he returned to the capital, and he began to miss the days in the valley. I don't know if he is not here, does Jing Yi miss him?What good food did Aunt Qing cook?
It's amazing, he grew up in the palace, and only a few days in the valley, Jing Yi's words: "Aren't you tired of living?" has been lingering in his mind, yet he can see through his heart with a single glance.

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yichen received a report from the commander: "Your Highness, as expected, the Second Prince couldn't bear it, and made some moves."

The imperial concubine frequently showed her presence in front of the emperor, and if they failed to force a marriage today, they would naturally think of other ways to send the woman to their side. Xiao Yichen was noncommittal, but he wanted to see how these people could still dance.

"Don't worry about it, just look good."

"Yes!"

Compared with the turbulent undercurrent in the palace, Jing Yi and the others finally entered the capital.

"Jing Yi, Aunt Qing, Brother Liu, please stay here." Zuo Jingyun jumped off the bullock cart and said goodbye to several people with his hands clasped.

"I wish you the best in one stroke." Jing Yi patted Zuo Jingyun's shoulder and laughed.

Zuo Jingyun knew that Jing Yi had already controlled his strength, but he was thin and weak, so he still grinned his teeth in pain, and Jing Yi had to make a joke, and he still had to exercise while he was urging him to study.

After paying Liu Daniu the fare, the mother and daughter found a good-looking inn in the capital to settle down.

"You two, please, our small shop is absolutely clean, no one can deceive you." The waiter in the shop beckoned Jing Yi and Fu Qingyu to enter.

"Second brother, open two upper rooms." Jing Yi has been on the road all these days, and Jing Yi is worried about Fu Qingyu's body, now that he has finally arrived in the capital, he naturally wants his mother to rest well.

The waiter quickly responded, and took the two of them to look at the room. It was really clean and tidy, and there were two calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which seemed so elegant.

Let Xiaoer fetch hot water, and after the two of them washed up, Fu Qingyu pulled Jing Yi to tell her the real purpose of coming to the capital.

"Jing Yi..." Just as Fu Qingyu was about to speak, Jing Yi smiled and pushed him to sit on the bed, pinched his shoulders and beat his legs.

"Mother, I know what you are going to do when you come to the capital to find Marquis Zhenyuan."

"I know mother loves me, but I love mother too. I don't want mother to be wronged because of me." Jing Yi told Fu Qingyu what was in her heart, and lay her head on Fu Qingyu's lap.

Fu Qingyu felt a little sad when she heard that, and touched Jing Yi's black hair: "But if you don't tell him directly, how could he give out the blood?" Even if the man knew about Jing Yi's existence, she would not Therefore, he stayed in Zhenyuan Hou's mansion to be a child for him.

Don't even think about it!

"Mother, why don't we just grab it directly." A sly light flashed in Jing Yi's eyes, it was clear that it might not be possible to get involved in the second half of Mother's life, so he just came to the dark.

"What are you going to do? This is the capital, you are not allowed to mess around." Fu Qingyu only wanted Jing Yi to be safe, if she wanted to take the risk of taking blood, she would rather compromise with that man.

"Mother, don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Let's make a quick decision. I'll go out tomorrow to check out the spot. I believe it won't be a problem to sneak into Zhenyuanhou's mansion with my skills."

"The little bag Aunt Lin gave me has her special scent, which is colorless and odorless, so I promise I won't notice it. Then I'll just stun him and draw blood." Jing Yi shared his thoughts with Fu Qingyu, and Fu Qingyu Qingyu really began to think about the feasibility of implementation.

After all, she didn't want Jing Yi to stay in the place of right and wrong for a long time, and she didn't want her to have too much contact with that shameless man who didn't keep his morals.
