Chapter 657 Old Resentment

Putting lanterns in the river to pray for blessings is mostly to pray for a smooth marriage, so there are mostly unmarried women by the river. In the heavy snow, the girls are wearing winter clothes by the river. They are colorful and very beautiful.Feng Yu found a secluded place, ordered two lotus river lanterns, lowered her eyes and wrote her wish seriously.

Xie Xun stood beside Feng Yu, unfolding his big cloak to cover Feng Yu from the falling snow, as if a guardian angel was by her side, guarding the peace of the place.Feng Yu raised her head, smiled at him, and asked Xie Xun, "Do you want to put out lanterns?"

Xie Xun thought for a moment and said very seriously, "Whatever you want in this life has been fulfilled by the gods and Buddhas. If you ask for anything more, that would be greed."

Ayu was in good health and had a long life, and the clear sea and rivers in Beining were just around the corner. He had nothing more to ask for.

Xie Xun shook his head gently.

Feng Yu turned her head slightly and looked at the wish she had written. She didn't want Xie Xun to see it. I didn't peek at the wish she wrote, I just wanted to know what Feng Yu wanted.

His Ayu looked down at the river lamp drifting away with a calm expression. Xie Xun looked at her smart and slightly sad eyes, feeling a little distressed but helpless.

Zi Si really depends on fate, he has worked very hard!

He also knew that no matter what he said, nothing could relieve the pressure in Feng Yu's heart, so he had no choice but to say nothing and secretly asked someone to change Feng Yu's prescription. Now, the medicine Feng Yu takes is simply to replenish qi, nourish blood, and strengthen the body. There is no need to continue drinking the abortion pill.

He may not be willing to risk losing her to ask for a child!
After the two put off the lanterns, they held hands and admired the lanterns along the river. Countless lights and shadows danced in Feng Yu's eyes. She asked tentatively, "You really have nothing to ask for?"

Xie Xun held her hand tightly and smiled softly, "Ayu, everything I ask for is in the palm of my hand."

She was his greatest desire in this life. She was safe and healthy, and he wanted nothing more.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xie Xun said, "Let's go on a cruise!"

Tonight's flower boat night cruise was very lively. Although Xie Xun and Feng Yu's flower boat was large, it was not conspicuous. There was no news about the emperor and empress traveling in the palace, so the river was full of flower boats, and flower boats were all happening. The grimace of congestion.

Feng Yu stood in the snow wrapped in a big cloak, looking at the boats filling the river, she couldn't help but sigh, "Everyone is really not afraid of the cold."

Those who can cruise are almost all from the clans in Beijing or wealthy businessmen. It is not easy for ordinary people to rent a flower boat on New Year's Eve.Therefore, the riverside was crowded and very lively. Xie Xun hugged her with a smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he pursed his lips and said, "That's not the second brother and Ruyi. Why is it the Fang family's boat?"

The Fang family's flower boat had the Fang family emblem on it, and it was a nearby boat, so it was easy to identify. The Marshal, Fang Chuning, and Xie Jue were drinking wine and admiring the lanterns on the deck. Besides them, there was a strange middle-aged man.There were people playing music and singing in the flower boat. They were Mrs. Fang, Xiao Qi and Fang Lingjun, as well as a noble lady who was about the same age as the eldest princess, and two young women.

Feng Yu recognized that the lady in the flower boat was Mrs. Li Er, who was Marshal Fang's sister, and the person sitting outside was Mr. Li, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue. "Yes, it's him. He's not very capable and can't be withdrawn. How annoying!" The flower boat was full of cronies, and Xie Xun had no inhibitions. "I originally wanted to transfer him to the Ministry of Industry or Guanglu Temple. For the sake of the Fang family, For the sake of face, I gave it up after thinking about it.”

After Xie Xun ascended the throne, the cabinet remained almost unchanged. The cabinet was formed by Lin Heli and had been replaced for a long time. Almost all of them were young people.Xie Xun was easy to use, mainly because he had to cooperate with Lin Heli. He did not replace anyone in the cabinet.

The six ministries underwent a major reshuffle, especially the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Almost all the personnel were replaced by their own cronies. After the implementation of the New Deal, the Ministry of Household Affairs was obviously the most important part of the six ministries, and they had to send people they could trust.

Gong Shangshu and Xie Xun used to quarrel and almost get into a fight. Every time they went to ask for money, Gong Shangshu always tried to shirk the situation. However, he was the only one left among the six ministers of the old dynasty, and he was the only one who had not been replaced.Xie Xun, the left and right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was also replaced by one person. The right minister was not replaced at first. Firstly, for the sake of the Fang family, and secondly because he suppressed almost all the Li family. If he suppresses one more person, things will turn upside down. After thinking about it, he retained his position, but he was extremely dissatisfied with his working ability, so he could only turn a blind eye. Anyway, if he had anything to do, he could just ask Gong Shangshu.

"I heard from Junjun that the two brothers and sister have very little relationship with my aunt's family and have little contact with them. This year is special, they actually reunited together on New Year's Eve." Feng Yu said in a mocking tone.

Xie Xun took Feng Yu to sit down. The stove on the deck was heating water and roasting fruits. The aroma was overwhelming. After Xie Xun fed Feng Yu a piece of fruit, he chuckled and said, "The Fang family and the Li family have some old grudges." , Isn’t it bad for me to talk about elders’ old stories behind their backs?”

Feng Yu looked at him with bright eyes, obviously wanting to hear it. Xie Xun didn't believe that Fang Lingjun hadn't told Feng Yu. Feng Yu was still tight-lipped. She probably wanted to hear his version. Xie Xun said with a smile, "I just want to hear it." The aunts said that the eldest family member of the Li family was not on good terms with Mrs. Fang. After Emperor Jianming came to power, Mrs. Fang's status was not as good as before. Mr. Li Ge's position was becoming more and more stable, and the commander-in-chief was far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Who was the commander-in-chief's attitude towards? It’s still hard to say. So although Mrs. Li is the aunt of Fang Chuning and Fang Lingjun, and has a deep relationship with the handsome brother and sister, she does not dare to be too close to the Fang family. She treats it as normal relatives, not so frequent, and the children of the Li family I have not interacted with the Fang brothers and sisters since I was a child."

Feng Yu made an expression of sudden realization.

Xie Xun felt it was fake at first glance, "Fang Lingjun has already told you why. You know more than me, and you still want to listen to me talk about old things. In fact, you can't blame Mrs. Li Er. The eldest son of the Li family is the most respected person. The second, third and fourth bedrooms all depend on the eldest family member for survival, and there is no separation of families. They depend on others, so naturally they dare not say anything. Mrs. Li Er is a tiger girl, and her temperament is not as calm and steady as it is now. She has eaten everything. You will learn the lesson slowly, so Mrs. Fang doesn’t want to cause trouble for her, and she doesn’t allow the Fang brothers and sisters to interact with the Li family.”

Feng Yu understands this very well. Wives from high-ranking families may look glamorous, but behind closed doors they often practice hard work. Now they are all getting ahead of themselves.

"What on earth are you thinking, the commander-in-chief? How sad it must be for Mrs. Fang that he has been favoring the Li family for so many years." As a woman, Feng Yu can better understand Mrs. Fang's frustration. Even if she is a princess, her life is not easy. Very unhappy.

"The trouble caused by one life." Xie Xun clicked his tongue.

"How do you know?" Xie Xun was not born yet, and no one dared to talk about these things later.

Xie Xun said helplessly, "One year, Mr. and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Fang had a conflict in the palace for some reason. Mrs. Li slapped Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang couldn't bear the humiliation and grabbed the whip of Jin Yiwei in anger. He whipped Mr. Li so hard that he rolled down sixteen steps and almost died. At that time, Mrs. Fang was supported by the late Emperor and the Empress. The Marshal wanted Mrs. Fang to come and apologize, so Mrs. Fang directly took Fang Chuning to live there. Fang Lingjun was not born yet. The late emperor loved his daughter, and He Xini passed away. The Li family retaliated wildly and made things difficult for the household. The late emperor was forced by the clan to show his kindness, but the Li family still refused to stop. In the end, they arrogantly took action on the military supplies of our Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and it was only after my father came forward that the Li family stopped."

Feng Yu, "..."
