MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 95 Phoenix Crown
The main residence of Xishan County, Songpo, Shitai.
Qin Yan and Feng Zhan got up a little late today, and they tossed in the bath for another half an hour. As it approached noon, they had lunch. Then the two of them walked here, and asked Ji Nanfeng to arrange a chess table.
Qin Yan and Feng Zhan sat opposite each other on a chessboard, while Shen Ying and Song Zhi served tea.
The warm winter sun shines through the forest leaves, casting mottled light spots on the ground, the breeze blows, and the forest rustles.
There are occasional bird calls, crane chirping in the lotus pond, green tea beside the chess table, and the occasional sound of falling sons.
At the end of the game, there is still no winner, only a draw.
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan each took their tea cups and drank lightly.
Putting down the tea cup, Feng Zhan looked at Qin Yan,
"You sold Yu Qingfeng's stockpiles of food?"
Qin Yan's hands stopped for a moment, but he didn't respond.
Feng Zhan continued to speak slowly:
"It's impossible for you not to leave behind, there are other sources of your food?"
Qin Yan smiled lightly, but did not answer Feng Zhan's question directly.
"The 200,000 private soldiers raised by His Highness will not be paid by the Ministry of War."
"Where does Your Highness's money come from?"
The two looked at each other, but tacitly did not point out.
Although Qin Yan and Feng Zhan had a close relationship, they each left a comfortable space for each other and did not intend to cross the line.
Shen Ying stepped forward to clean up the chess game for the two of them.
------
At this time, Ji Nanfeng stepped up Songpo and said to Qin Yandao:
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the Minister of War, Lord Du, came to visit and said that they would like to see the master."
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan's eyes collided, and both of them instantly understood.
The news from the courtroom yesterday reached Qin Yan and Feng Zhan's ears immediately. Therefore, the arrival of the second prince Feng Xian and Du Shangshu should be the idea of Yu Qingfeng, which is also expected.
"Invite people to the council hall." Qin Yan instructed Ji Nanfeng, and then looked at Feng Zhan,
"His Royal Highness, together?"
Ji Nanfeng paused as he left, and then continued to walk down the mountain.
Feng Zhanjian frowned slightly, Feng Xian, he didn't just hit Yu Qingfeng's idea.
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan got up, and the two slowly moved down Songpo.
------
The county house, the council hall.
After the second prince Feng Xian and the minister of household Du Xian entered, they were invited to the seats on both sides of the main seat.
Ji Nanfeng ordered the servants to serve tea, and then ordered them to move a large sandalwood chair of the same style as the original one, placed side by side with the previous chair, with only a small round table between the two chairs.
Feng Xian and Du Xian were a little unclear about Ji Nanfeng's arrangement, until they saw a man and a woman walking side by side outside the hall.
Feng Xian and Du Xian got up at the same time.
Feng Xian was surprised, how come the prince is here, but he still bows and salutes:
"Brother Emperor."
When the Zhaoren County Lord appeared in the Prince's Mansion Council Hall before, Du Xian's relationship with the Prince and Zhaoren County Lord was not simple, but he already knew it by heart. Du Xian went to the door and saluted:
"His Royal Highness, Zhaoren County Lord."
Feng Zhan nodded, walked slowly to the top position with Qin Yan, and took their seats separately.
Feng Xian's face is not very good-looking. Today, he came to Qin Yan for both business and private affairs, and the Prince Chu is what's going on here.
Du Xian was overjoyed. In these days, His Royal Highness, who was not seen by the courtiers, did not expect that he would be the first to meet him, and it was still in the county master's mansion.
Du Xian put away his thoughts and immediately returned his thoughts to today's business.
"Zhaoren County Master, the floods, food shortages, plagues, and serious disasters in Daxia this year. The Holy Lord has called all the ministers and wealthy businessmen to donate to the country. The County Master, can Yu Qingfeng also contribute?"
Qin Yan tapped a few cases with his fingertips, but did not make a sound.
She knows that there have been frequent movements in the court recently, and the empress dowager Mingli stands as the second prince, making the people of the court and the opposition float.
Civil and military ministers, from old ministers to new nobles, are all secretly speculating whether the crown prince will be replaced by the second prince.
Qin Yan had some guesses in his heart that the prince was probably taking this opportunity to cleanse the court again. What's more, the prince might be able to get rid of the constraints of the Queen Mother Xiao through this time, without having to bear a bad reputation of being ungrateful.
Qin Yan protects his shortcomings. Since he has decided to seriously manage a relationship with Feng Zhan, his own people cannot tolerate others' practice.
Seeing that Qin Yan was only silent, Feng Xian said to Qin Yan:
"Qin Yan, Yu Qingfeng makes money every day and donates money to help the country. It shouldn't be difficult, and it can win a good reputation. This is a three-win for the court, the victims, and Yu Qingfeng."
Qin Yan laughed lightly when he heard the words, then looked up at the handsome man beside him, turned his head to the two next to him and said:
"You have also seen it. Recently, there have been people in the mansion. His Royal Highness is Jingui.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people in the hall changed.
Feng Zhan's expression darkened slightly, and he glanced at Qin Yan coldly, but he just sat silently without saying a word.
Feng Xian and Du Xian were both shocked.
Zhaoren County Lord, raising His Royal Highness the Prince?
And His Royal Highness did not deny it!
Qin Yan took a sip of tea and spoke again:
"It's not impossible to donate money. As a citizen of Daxia, you should do your bit for Daxia."
Feng Xian's face was slightly relaxed, and Du Xian was also overjoyed.
But Qin Yan's next words choked them on the spot.
Qin Yan glanced at Feng Zhan again, and said slowly:
"His Royal Highness has put the county in charge tightly. For such a big donation, you have to ask His Royal Highness to let go."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Xian and Du Xian's pupils were shocked again.
Feng Zhan's expression darkened slightly, and he lifted his eyes to look at Qin Yan.
this woman...
Du Xian was dumbfounded. He could understand that Zhaoren County Master said inside and outside the words, that is, to ask Yu Qingfeng to pay, he had to pass the level of the prince, but...
Du Xian sneaked a glance at the second prince, the county master of Zhaoren, he had already chosen a side.
Feng Xian looked ugly, looked at Qin Yan, but said to Du Xian:
"Master Du, you go back first."
Du Xian saw that the fundraising matter, I am afraid that there is no chance today.
And now it seems that Zhaoren County Lord should be the crown princess, and whoever can take the money from her, I am afraid who will eventually take the top.
This is already an internal matter of the royal family, and it is inconvenient to participate as a foreign minister.
Du Xian immediately got up to say goodbye,
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the Lord of Zhaoren County, this minister retire."
After Du Xian left, Feng Xian said to Qin Yan:
"Qin Yan, I have something to tell you alone."
After speaking, Feng Xian turned his gaze to the somber prince.
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan both leaned against the backs of the chairs, and placed one hand on the tables without opening their mouths, and even their postures were surprisingly consistent.
Feng Xian was about to say something else when Ji Nanfeng suddenly spoke at the door:
"Princess Changle and Princess Jingyi are visiting."
Feng Xian's heart was gloomy, but he could only swallow the words in his mouth.
Qin Yan looked at Feng Zhan, Feng Yuyao said that he was coming a few days ago, but Feng Yunchao was this...because of the prince?
Feng Zhan frowned slightly, he didn't want his mother and Yun Chao to be too involved in his private affairs.
"Please come in the two princesses." Qin Yan instructed Ji Nanfeng in a low voice.
------
Feng Yunchao was really curious about what the prince and brother looked like when he fell in love with his sons and daughters, so he went to the county master's mansion today to check it out.
But Feng Yunchao didn't plan to come over from Merlin. First of all, she might not be let over; secondly, Merlin's road was probably a love affair between the prince's brother and Qin Yan. She was not qualified to hang out there, or Go to the front door obediently.
And Feng Yunchao happened to meet Feng Yuyao at the gate of the county master's mansion, and the two entered the mansion together.
When Feng Yunchao and Feng Yuyao entered the hall, they were shocked by the seats of the first two.
Qin Yan... didn't arrogate?
And the prince and brother, don't you mind?
After the two princesses greeted the prince and the second prince, they took their seats respectively.
Ji Nanfeng ordered the servants to watch the tea, but the atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant, everyone had different thoughts and didn't speak.
Seeing that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, Feng Yuyao spoke first:
"Here, the weather is really nice, why don't we play horse hanging?"
Several people turned their attention to Feng Yuyao, Feng Yuyao's face was a little stiff, what did I say wrong?
The second prince Feng Xian saw that today was no longer a good time to speak, so he got up and said goodbye to the prince.
"I still have a lot of business to do. I'm not as leisurely as the emperor, so I'll leave first, and you can play."
The prince's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about Feng Xian's showing off, and didn't say a word.
Feng Xian said to Qin Yan again:
"Qin Yan, I'll come back to find you another day." Before Qin Yan could speak, Feng Zhan said to the two princesses again,
"Two imperial sisters, I will go first."
After Feng Xian left, Feng Yuyao said regretfully:
"I'm missing a corner."
After Feng Yunchao glanced over the faces of the prince and Qin Yan, he looked at Feng Yuyao:
"That, Ma Hang, I can also learn to play and play."
The eyes of several people turned to Feng Yunchao again, and they were all a little surprised.
This princess, in the past, did not like these folk things.
Feng Yunchao laughed dryly twice,
"Haha, the weather is really nice today, it's suitable for horse riding."
Feng Yunchao just wanted to spend more time with the prince and Qin Yan, and didn't want to be driven back by the emperor so quickly.
In this way, the four princes, Qin Yan, Feng Yunchao, and Feng Yuyao, moved to the warm pavilion, and they really had fun.
After only a few laps, his hands were just hot, when Ji Nanfeng came in,
"His Royal Highness, Xie Shizi asks to see you."
------
Several people in the room stopped moving.
Xie Changyuan wanted to see the prince, so why did he come here if he didn't go to the prince's mansion?
Feng Zhan narrowed his eyes, his eyes were cold and severe, and asked Ji Nanfeng in a deep voice,
"Is there a school grounds in the mansion?"
Although Ji Nanfeng had some doubts, he still replied:
"There is one at the southern end of the mansion."
"Take the person over." When the words fell, Feng Zhan got up, glanced at Qin Yan, and turned to leave the warm pavilion.
Feng Yuyao's eyes lit up, is there a good show to watch?
-------
Xie Changyuan carefully considered the current situation of the court in the past two days.
The queen mother is the second prince and wants to reverse the dominance of the prince's family. According to the situation of the court meeting yesterday, although the prince has voluntarily relinquished power, he seems to be in a dominant position everywhere.
Xie Changyuan was keenly aware of the danger, and he, or Yongding Houfu, could no longer be involved with the second prince and the queen mother.
In other words, Xie Changyuan decided to choose a position.
Whether it is for the possibility of being with Qin Yan, or for his own future, Ye Qingli, now his nominal wife, must solve it.
Xie Changyuan was able to arrange someone to deal with Ye Qingli without knowing it, but the younger sister of the King of Yizhou had an accident after marrying into the Yongding Marquis Mansion, so she would definitely find trouble in the Marquis Mansion, and she had to find a backstage to deal with the aftermath.
With the recent attitude of the sage, the sage would not take the initiative to confront the Empress Dowager Xiao, and he did not want the historian to write him down in the name of "unfilial piety and benevolence".
The position of the prince and the sage is the same, and they both do not want Yizhou to be involved with Yongding Houfu.
Then, only the prince can be found.
Even if the prince is now Xie Changyuan's rival in love, Xie Changyuan has no other way. If Ye Qingli's matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, he and Yongding Hou's mansion will be forced to be dragged into the heirloom, and I am afraid that Yongding's mansion will drag him into the house. abyss.
Xie Changyuan was not able to enter the Prince's Mansion, but he immediately thought that he had seen the Prince at the Prince's Mansion yesterday, so it is possible for the Prince to go to Qin Yan's place.
Although Xie Changyuan did not want to admit this reality, Qin Yan and the prince seemed to have an unusual relationship.
------
Xie Changyuan was brought into the school grounds at the southern end of the county master's mansion by Ji Nanfeng, and he had some guesses in his heart.
Not long after, the prince, dressed in a black robe with sleeves, came with a cold air.
Xie Changyuan immediately thought that when he was young, he and the prince often exchanged ideas with each other. When did he start to become estranged from the prince, or the prince gradually became estranged from him.
It seems that after he got engaged to Qin Yan...
Without waiting for Xie Changyuan to fall into long-term memories, the Crown Prince approached Xie Changyuan and kicked him in the face with a sharp kick. Xie Changyuan hurriedly avoided it, but the Crown Prince made moves one after another, both quick and ruthless, Xie Changyuan passively avoided, But he took a few punches.
Xie Chang Yuan was also depressed by the bad things these days, and after taking a few tricks, he also began to take the initiative to attack.
When Qin Yan and the two princesses arrived at the school grounds, they saw two tall and straight men on the field fighting without reservation.
The two princesses were amazed in their hearts. They had rarely seen the crown prince and his brother make a move. Today is the time to catch up with the excitement.
------
Qin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to a covered stand at the west end of the school grounds, chose a chair to sit down, and looked at the field lightly.
Feng Yunchao and Feng Yuyao also followed Qin Yan to the stand. After sitting down, they took the tea cup that Shen Ying handed over and began to watch the battle with great interest.
Feng Yuyao was born:
"Yanyan, this is the meeting of a rival in love, and I am very jealous."
After speaking, Feng Yuyao suddenly twitched her mouth in her heart. How could she speak? Xie Changyuan is already married, so how could she be the rival of the prince and the prince's brother.
Feng Yuyao looked at Xie Changyuan in the field and shook her head. Although he was a bastard, he was handsome and handsome.
Feng Zhan and Xie Changyuan in the arena were both extremely skilled, and they were both vigorous in their movements, and their moves were smooth and flowing, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Of course, this also has to ignore the strong wind that the two fists see, every move and every move is to the point of killing each other.
The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xie Shizi of the Marquis of Yongding were working on the school grounds quickly spread throughout the county master's mansion.
People didn't dare to go beyond the line, but they couldn't bear the bold and fat ones, such as Jiang Mu.
Taking a break today, Jiang Mu is also in the mansion. As soon as he walked to the edge of the school field, Qin Yan motioned Shen Ying and called him to the stand.
Jiang Mu stood beside Qin Yan, but his eyes were closely following the two men in the school grounds, to be precise, the prince in Xuanyi.
Jiang Mu was shocked. Prince Feng Zhan was so powerful that he didn't enter the means, and even his skills were so amazing.
Jiang Mu glanced down at Qin Yan.
The person she likes, is that so?
------
Qin Yan felt Jiang Mu's gaze and spoke softly:
"Learn."
Jiang Mu has grown a lot taller these days, and has lost some of the youthful youth, and his face has become more calm. He suppressed his thoughts and turned his eyes back to the school grounds.
After a stick of incense, the two people in the school field were almost divided. To be precise, it was Xie Changyuan, who finally couldn't hold it anymore.
Xie Changyuan stretched out his hand very well, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of the commander of the Imperial Guard, but compared to the prince Feng Zhan, he was still a long way behind.
After the whole game, Xie Changyuan didn't show anything on his body. In the end, he was kicked in the stomach by the prince and fell out.
The prince stopped, turned around and walked slowly in Qin Yan's direction, breathing steadily, with a neat expression, and his face did not show the appearance of a fierce battle just now.
Xie Chang Yuan covered his throbbing abdomen with one hand, wiped the blood from his lips with the other hand, barely supported the ground, and stood up.
He didn't want Qin Yan to see himself so embarrassed.
Feng Zhan approached Qin Yan and glanced coldly at Jiang Mu beside Qin Yan.
The prince's icy eyes made Jiang Mu feel a chill in his heart. Jiang Mu knew that he was not yet the prince's opponent. Although he was unwilling, he still retreated.
The prince stretched out his hand, picked up the tea cup beside Qin Yan, and took a sip.
Feng Yunchao and Feng Yuyao were stunned, that... Qin Yan had drunk...
The prince put down the tea cup and said to Qin Yan:
"Go back to take a bath first."
The prince looked at Ji Nanfeng again,
"Take the person to the study."
------
After the prince left, Feng Yuyao said regretfully:
"Oh, I'm missing a card."
Feng Yuyao suddenly looked at Xie Changyuan who was standing not far away, and shouted at him:
"Xie Shizi, do you want to hang a horse?"
Ji Nanfeng…
Shen Ying…
Xie Changyuan…
When Feng Yunchao saw the prince and brother leave, he also got up to leave,
"I'll go back to the Prince's Mansion to accompany my mother first."
After Feng Yunchao left, Xie Changyuan also glanced at Qin Yan slightly embarrassedly, and followed Ji Nanfeng to the study.
And Qin Yan and Feng Yuyao looked at Shi Chen, and they were going to have dinner.
------
After Xie Changyuan was taken by Ji Nanfeng into the study room of the county master's mansion, he suddenly discovered that there were actually two bookcases set opposite each other in the study room, and one of them he had seen in the prince's place.
Whether it is the bookcase or the study room on it, they are all objects that the prince used to do.
Xie Changyuan felt a chill in his heart, this is the prince, living in the county master's mansion?
Xie Changyuan didn't wait too long in Qin Yan's study, and the prince came over.
Sure enough, the prince went straight to the sandalwood desk and took a seat, then looked at Xie Changyuan coldly, waiting for Xie Changyuan to speak.
Xie Changyuan calmed down, stood up, and clasped his fist to the prince:
"I would like to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help him deal with his titular wife, Ye Qingli, the younger sister of the King of Yizhou."
Feng Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Xie Changyuan, is this surrender?
------
Qin Yan and Feng Yuyao had dinner in the warm pavilion, and Feng Yuyao dragged Qin Yan to chat.
At Xu, Qin Yan was going to go back to rest, Feng Yuyao held Qin Yan,
"Yanyan, I still have a lot to say, let's sleep together tonight, I..."
"His Royal Highness." Shen Ying's voice sounded at the door.
The prince obviously heard Feng Yuyao's words to let Qin Yan sleep with her tonight, Feng Zhan's face darkened slightly, and he stepped into the warm pavilion. The sharp eyes of the prince made Feng Yuyao's heart shudder.
Qin Yan got up lazily and left a sentence for Feng Yuyao:
"Sleep, I have someone to accompany you."
Feng Yuyao opened her mouth in surprise.
Feng Zhan hugged Qin Yan's waist, glanced coldly at Feng Yuyao, and the two left.
Feng Yuyao…
I hired him?
And Feng Yuyao heard the voices of the two people who left intermittently:
- "It's time to change the softness of the bathroom."
- "Let Mr. Ji do it."
- "I haven't had dinner yet."
- "Want me to feed your Highness?"
The sound fades away...
Feng Yuyao…
She thought that the prince's brother said that he was going back to the prince's mansion.
It turns out that this...is the bathroom of Yanyan I went to...
And those two...
Only then did Feng Yuyao understand that a few days ago, she sent someone to deliver news to Yanyan, saying that she wanted to come, but Yanyan kept replying to the news saying that it was inconvenient.
It turns out that this is inconvenient for Yanyan and the prince's brother...
------
Qin Yan and Feng Zhan both have the habit of reading two pages of books before going to bed, and today is no exception.
Qin Yan and Feng Zhan were each flipping the scrolls behind the two opposing desks in the study, but Qin Yan's mind was not on the page, and she was not curious about what the prince and Xie Changyuan were talking about in her study today.
Qin Yan buckled the book, looked at Feng Zhan opposite, and praised in his heart:
It's so beautiful.
Qin Yan got up, walked slowly to Feng Zhan's side, stretched out a slender hand, took away the scroll from Feng Zhan's hand, and then took the fingertips of that hand and raised Feng Zhan's clean jaw like a knife.
Qin Yan lifted her lips, her voice full of temptation,
"Your Highness, when will you give me the truth?"
Feng Zhan breathed heavily for a moment, his throat rolled slightly, and his big palms embraced Qin Yan's slender waist, bringing the woman in front of him into his arms and letting Qin Yan sit on his firm legs.
Feng Zhan leaned over and kissed the woman in his arms.
An hour later, Qin Yan rang out in the study with a charming voice,
"Your Highness, are you going to pay me for a dress again?"
Feng Zhan gently kneaded Qin Yan's tender hand and said in a low voice:
"I'll pay you a phoenix crown and a robe."
