By now, Hong Yan had understood that to the emperor's brother, both he and Feng Hongluan were nothing more than tools.

He will not sit still and wait for death, but he will never tolerate anyone who hurts Feng Hongluan.

It's not that he doesn't dare to do some things, or that he doesn't know how to do them, it's just that he always thinks about brotherhood and never wants to do them.

But just because he didn't want to do it, it didn't mean that he was unprepared. The emperor probably never imagined that when he was always wary of Hong Yan, Hong Yan was already prepared.

Recently in the capital, rumors about General Feng's marriage have been spreading in the streets and alleys.

Everyone said different things, some were envious, some were jealous, and of course they also said sarcastic things behind their backs.

The date on the wedding invitation was approaching, and Hong Yan said that he had a surprise for Feng Hongluan at the wedding banquet in Fengcheng.

I don't know what Hong Yan is going to do, but Feng Hongluan is looking forward to it. Come to think of it, Hong Yan's so-called surprise will really surprise people.

December 12th, the day chosen by Maple City is easy to remember.

That morning, Yang Yun helped Feng Hongluan get up, helped her to the dressing mirror, and asked cautiously: "My queen, what kind of makeup do you want to wear?"

Since becoming pregnant, she has stopped using many things. Even if she occasionally needs to apply makeup and powder, she tries to use as little as possible.

But today, she went out of her way and said, "Give me a brighter and more festive makeup."

No matter how much I dislike Lu Ying, it is her father who takes a concubine, which is always a happy thing.

Ever since she had a falling out with Fengcheng, she had been holding back her longing and had never met Fengcheng again. Even when others mentioned Fengcheng, she would speak coldly and dismissively.

Now, as a daughter, she participates in her father's concubine ceremony, and she doesn't want to make Fengcheng feel sad.

Although, she no longer knew whether Fengcheng still cared about her daughter.

After some make-up, her already pretty face was now really beautiful.

Yin Tao's small mouth is bright red, her fair face is as rosy as peach blossoms, her beautiful eyes are smart, her eyebrows are slender, and her nose is high, which makes her whole face more three-dimensional.

When Hong Yan entered the room, he glanced at the beauty who looked like this.

Yang Yun chuckled softly: "The prince is dumbfounded. Princess, you are really good-looking. I have been in the palace for so many years and I have seen many empresses and maids, but none of them can compare with you, princess."

Yang Yun is not a sweet-tongued girl who knows how to compliment, and every word she says can be heard sincerely.

At this moment, Feng Hongluan tried her best to look happy. After all, today was a good day in Fengcheng. She didn't want her unhappiness to affect Fengcheng's happiness.

"Oh, that's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen!"

"In the whole world, if you dare to claim to be the second most beautiful woman in the world, no one else has the shame to claim to be the most beautiful woman in the world." Hong Yanrou smiled and took Feng Hongluan's hand, looking up and down, her eyes filled with emotion.

She was full of adoration and doting, "This girl is so beautiful just because she exists in the sky."

"Pfft!"

Looking at his infatuated eyes, Feng Hongluan started to laugh, pushed him, and looked at Yang Yunna, probably scolding him, and regardless of the occasion, she didn't see any outsiders there.

In fact, Yang Yun wanted to say something: Princess, you are so great that you don't need to mind the slaves. The slaves are already used to it, and the intimate and ambiguous scene is not strange to the slaves.

Yes, Hongyan never hides his love for Feng Hongluan, no matter when or where.

In the past, she was not used to it, but now, even Feng Hongluan has gradually gotten used to it. Only occasionally, she still scolded him and asked him to pay more attention to his status and situation.

"Are you all ready? The carriage is already waiting outside. As for the gifts, you told me to take care of it. Now that the relationship between your father and daughter is in crisis, I won't do much. I only prepared some pearl jewelry."

After all, if you still want to maintain the illusion of "breaking up" with Maple City, you really shouldn't be too careful with your gifts.

Hey, I wonder what Hong Yan is going to do. Can this illusion of a break really help his father regain military power?

Moreover, how long do we have to wait? Since she was a child, Feng Hongluan has not had a mother. How can Dong be so lucky? Moreover, it was later revealed that Dong did not really care about Feng Hongluan.

Although Feng Hongluan foolishly regarded Dong as her biological mother, in the end, the person she was closest to was still Fengcheng.

In the early years, when the late emperor was still alive, the Tianlang Kingdom did not dare to be so unbridled. My father spent most of his time in the capital, enjoying his family relationship.

It wasn't until the year of the late emperor's death that the Sirius Kingdom began to prepare for action and launch a massive invasion. Her father left his hometown and went on an expedition to the battlefield. Throughout the year, he rarely came back once or twice.

Every meeting became more precious. Once her father came home to visit relatives, Feng Hongluan would miss her father all day long, and she wished she was a man and could fight with her father on the battlefield, inseparable.

Her relationship with Maple City was truly excellent, but only she herself knew how painful and unbearable this "breakup" was now.

But she believed that Hong Yan had a plan for asking her to do this, and for the sake of Maple City, she had no choice but to endure it.

"Let's go!" She breathed out secretly. Today, she could only witness this wedding from above as Princess Jin. This red dress and festive makeup were the only things she could do for Maple City.

She didn't want Maple City to be disappointed because of her.

The carriage started slowly. Sitting in the carriage, I listened to the cries of vendors on the street. Among them was a man selling candied haws, singing very loudly.

"Come here, candied haws on a stick, delicious candied haws on a stick. If you leave this village, there will be no shop like this. A secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. Delicious candied haws on a stick. They are big, sour and sweet. After eating a bunch, I still want to eat them..."

Feng Hongluan suddenly raised the car curtains, let out a gust of cold wind and entered the car. She shivered, and her face looked a little nostalgic.

Hong Yan said thoughtfully: "Want to eat?"

She shook her head and lowered the car curtain: "I just thought of my childhood."

"When you were a child?" He became interested, held her hand, and put it warmly in his hand, "Did you like eating candied haws when you were a child?"

"It's not like I like it. It's just that when my mother was alive, she said it was bad for my teeth and not something to eat. After my mother passed away, whenever I felt sad or sad, my dad would buy candied haws to make me happy. At that time, I thought, candied haws

It’s the most delicious thing in the world, sour and sweet.”

The nostalgia in her eyes made Hong Yan feel heartbroken: "From now on, if you and your children want to eat, just ask someone to come to the house to cook it."

"You still remember that we actually met each other during my mother's fortieth birthday. You and the princes sat across from each other, while my father and I and He Jixiang sat at the ministers' table."

To be honest, Hong Yan was not very impressed.

At that time, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was at the age where he loved to play. He was so focused on drinking and chatting with his brothers that he never noticed the little girl brought by General Feng.

But thinking that the two of them had had such a small encounter made him feel warm in his heart.

Seeing that he just smiled but did not answer, Feng Hongluan knew that he must not have paid attention to her.

But at that time, she just thought the prince was really good-looking, so she just looked at him a few more times, and didn't take Hong Yan to heart.

Who would have thought that time would bring them together.

And what she wants to thank is not only time, but also God.

With this opportunity to regain her life, she lost all her previous innocence and liveliness, but in exchange for Hong Yan, it was worth it.

"I knew you definitely didn't notice me. Halfway through the song and dance, didn't the Emperor propose that the princesses take the lead, so the girls who have not yet left the palace would congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday?"

"I remember this. The sixth sister immediately wrote a poem and gave it to the queen mother. My father was so happy that he asked the historian to record this incident in the history books. My father really loved the sixth sister. Since ancient times, there has never been a

The princess was recorded in the history books because of a poem celebrating her birthday."

"Haha, then you may remember that there was a man who was so frightened and panicked that he accidentally sprained his foot and limped to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday."

With such a reminder, Hongyan really had a memory.

He blurted out: "That daredevil turned out to be you."

The corner of Feng Hongluan's mouth twitched, and she almost cried in pain. Hong Yan actually called her a daredevil.

But thinking about it at that time, if He Jixiang hadn't pulled her too hastily, she wouldn't have twisted her foot and turned pale in pain.

Perhaps, He Jixiang had been deliberately planning to deal with her from that time on.

However, her world now has nothing to do with that dead man.

There was a touch of warmth in his memory. It turned out that he had an impression of her.

"You're such a daredevil!" she retorted, pretending to be angry, "I didn't even faint from the pain at that time. If my father hadn't told me to buy me candied haws after the party, I would have burst into tears on the spot. I was like me at that time, not now.

of me."

Her words had a profound meaning. She had experienced too much now and no longer had the pure mentality she had back then.

The years when she could cry whenever she wanted and laugh whenever she wanted were really far away from her.

While Hong Yan was busy, he put his arm around her shoulders and flattered her: "It was my fault. My lovely little woman, who must have been eleven or twelve years old at the time, almost cried."

Feng Hongluan glanced at her, and the atmosphere in the car suddenly became much more relaxed.

"You don't know how much it hurts."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong! It hurts so much. It would be great if I had fallen in love with you at that time."

There was yearning in his eyes: "In that case, I will be the one who buys you candied haws."

A warm feeling surged in my heart, and I snuggled into Hong Yan's arms.

Even though there had been misunderstandings and injuries, Hong Yan had now been kneaded into Feng Hongluan's bones and blood. Even if it hurt, she couldn't get rid of Hong Yan. What's more, what he brought to her was more and more.

Feeling more and more profound warmth and emotion.

*

This warmth lasted until the end of Feng Mansion.

Because it was a concubine, it was not extravagant, which was also Maple City's personality.

Moreover, there was a lot of criticism from the outside world about Maple City's concubinage this time, so it kept a lower profile and only invited some high-ranking officials and people with whom they were usually close.
