Chapter 149 If I have something to say to Chu Huanyan alone

"14 years old." Xiao Jinzhi replied, "Since then, Mr. Feng and I have gradually become familiar with each other."

It's just that this familiarity is hidden in the dark. Mr. Feng is the censor after all. If it is spread out and everyone knows that he and he are in private contact, even if he sits upright, it will cause criticism from others.

"Calculating the time, it has been several years at a time." Feng Hanyi sighed with emotion, his eyes falling on Xiao Jinzhi with a somewhat complicated look, "In the past few years, through the unremitting efforts of His Highness the Crown Prince, we have been successful. Notorious.”

Feng Hanyi's tone was filled with helplessness and a hint of anger.

In fact, he still doesn't fully understand His Highness the Crown Prince's behavior. A real man is born in this world, sits upright and has no regrets in his heart. Although he cannot be trapped by fame, it is the only time in his life that His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to risk death like this.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm not the favored one." Xiao Jinzhi shook his head helplessly, with the smile still on his lips.

Feng Hanyi frowned. He didn't believe it at first that His Highness the Crown Prince was not favored by the Emperor. Later, he gradually figured it out from some of the Emperor's words and deeds.

In the study, it suddenly became quiet until Lao Li, whom Feng Hanyi said, came in with tea.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Miss Chu is having tea."

"Thank you." Chu Huanyan took the tea cup and nodded slightly.

She took a sip of tea. It was just an ordinary Longjing tea. It was not very high-quality. But when she came all the way just now, she could see that the house was simple. She thought that this tea had been specially prepared to entertain guests.

Feng Hanyi also picked up the tea cup and took a few sips, then looked at Xiao Jinzhi again.

"Some books have been added to the library recently. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince would be interested in visiting them?"

"Okay." Xiao Jinzhi nodded with a smile, "Miss Chu, let's go together..."

"Miss Chu, please stay." Feng Hanyi interrupted Xiao Jinzhi, "Miss Chu, are you willing to stay and talk to me?"

Chu Huanyan understood, "Okay."

Feng Hanyi obviously wanted to drive Xiao Jinzhi away, but she wanted to hear what the other party wanted to say to her.

Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Hanyi for a while, "What are you saying, can't I listen?"

Feng Hanyi did not speak, but glanced at Lao Li, who immediately said to Xiao Jinzhi: "Your Highness, please."

After Xiao Jinzhi left, Chu Huanyan put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Feng Hanyi seriously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left. If Master Feng has anything to say, please feel free to speak directly."

"Has His Highness told you why he brought you to my palace?" Feng Hanyi asked.

Chu Huanyan shook her head. When she first entered the study, she had thought that Xiao Jinzhi might want to take her to meet the courtier who supported him secretly, so that she could believe more that he trusted her.

However, after listening to Feng Hanyi and Xiao Jinzhi say a few words, she rejected this idea. Neither the conversation nor the tone between the two seemed like a surrender and convergence between the courtier and the prince. On the contrary, ...somewhat like the closeness between elders and younger generations.

"Then how much do you know about the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor, and the Queen?" Feng Hanyi continued to ask. "It's probably clear. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me."

Feng Hanyi nodded, looked back and sighed.

"As an official of Yushitai, I am responsible for supervision and admonishment. Logically speaking, I should not have close contact with the prince. It has been my creed for many years to not get involved in party disputes. But getting along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince , but it was an accident.”

At first, he did not want to have more contact with His Highness the Crown Prince, but later by chance, he discussed some views on books and government affairs. Although His Highness was still a young man at the time, he often gave him a sense of enlightenment.

Later, as they had more contact, he and His Highness had a tacit agreement not to talk about government affairs, and His Highness never asked him to help impeach or suppress anyone. Even in these years, His Highness himself wrote a book to impeach His Highness, and His Highness never asked him to help impeach someone. blocked.

There seemed to be a line drawn between the court and the mansion, clearly distinguishing each other.

To be disrespectful, he and His Highness are not so much courtiers and princes as elders and juniors, or...friends who have forgotten their years!
"Then in these years, has no one ever discovered the relationship between you, Lord Feng, and His Highness?"

"There are only three or four servants in my house, and they are all old people who have been with me for many years. They have a strict manner of speaking. Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince will pay attention every time he comes over so as not to let others notice. In addition..."

Feng Hanyi glanced at the half-written excerpt in front of him.

"Friendship is friendship, government is government, and if I feel that His Highness has done something wrong, I will still impeach him unceremoniously. In terms of court affairs, no matter what I do, His Highness will not interfere. Of course, he will also Can’t interfere.”

Probably, this is also an important reason why he and His Highness have been able to get along for many years.

"Have you never interfered?" Chu Huanyan said softly, "What about Mr. Feng's sarcasm to the third prince at the gate of the palace before?"

"That's a blunt statement." Feng Hanyi corrected Chu Huanyan's choice of words, "On the surface, the third prince seems to have no problems over the years, but in fact, I have learned a lot about what he is doing. He is a fool, plotting in secret, and sanctimonious , It is difficult for such a person to ascend to the throne of elegance, let alone the position of crown prince!"

It's a pity that there is no evidence. Even if you want to impeach, there is no reason for the moment.

Chu Huanyan smiled heartily. It seemed that Master Feng had restrained his words at the palace gate before.If Xiao Rongxuan hears these words, he will probably be so angry that his gentle mask will be completely lost.

"As for interference..." Feng Hanyi's eyes narrowed, "It did happen once."

That was after he realized that the emperor was deliberately allowing His Highness the Crown Prince to suffer infamy. His first reaction at that time was to write a letter to remonstrate, but the Crown Prince stopped him abruptly.

That was probably the only time in his life that he gave up his advice because of others.But now that he thought about it, he could understand the reason why the prince stopped him.

The Emperor's indifference towards His Highness the Crown Prince does not know where it originated, but it has not diminished at all over the years.If I had really exposed everything at that time and remonstrated in public, I am afraid that not only would it not have been able to make the emperor reflect and repent, but it would have made the prince's situation even more difficult.

Although he had already imagined it before, after listening to Feng Hanyi's words, Chu Huanyan had a clearer image of Xiao Jinzhi's past experience in his mind.

Xiao Jinzhi's journey to this point is probably even more difficult than supporting the Hou Mansion on his own.

After gathering her thoughts, Chu Huanyan suddenly remembered what Xiao Jinzhi said in the carriage and asked Feng Hanyi.

"On the way here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Lord Feng should want to see me. I wonder what he means?"
