Chapter 1160 Finale (8)

Yuan Lang leaned over to Long Xu's ear and said, "Uncle, you are not worthy of the Shi family princess at all."

"The little brat is quite understanding."

Long Xu couldn't help but smile, knowing that his mother was joking, and continued with the work in his hands.

Seeing that the little wooden sword had taken shape, Yuan Lang clapped his hands happily: "My cousin is really amazing!"

Long Xu raised his eyebrows. Yan Bojian went into battle with the powerful crossbow that he had helped design and make. That was truly impressive.

On the other side, Shi Yangyang glanced at Long Xu who was only busy carving wood, and shook her head repeatedly: "Aunt, don't joke, Long Xu and I are not suitable."

Yan Yu smiled and said, "Listen, this girl has set her sights on Bo Jian."

Shi Yangyang stared at Hong Qingyi and said, "Aunt, if you think I have a bad temper, I can change it as long as you agree that I can be with Yan Bojian."

Hong Qingyi smiled and said, "It won't be too late to discuss this matter after Bo Jian returns to Beijing."

After hearing these words, Shi Yangyang felt that her relationship with Yan Bojian had finally come to fruition.

Madam Hong said, "Bo Jian is the third child after all, so Xing He's marriage should come first."

Yan Xinghe was just telling someone to get the chess pieces, planning to play a few games with Fu Ciyi, when he didn't expect the topic to be brought up. He quickly responded, "Grandma, I'm not in a hurry."

"How can I not be anxious?" Old Madam Hong shook her head repeatedly, "You are about the same age as His Highness, and His Highness and Fu Ning are as close as honey and oil. Don't you want to marry someone you like?"

"I'm really not in a hurry." Yan Xinghe explained, "I have my own plans."

While you are young, work hard for your career.

How can having a wife be as sweet as being the prime minister?

But being urged to get married, she finally gave up the idea of ​​playing chess in the flower hall and raised her hand towards Fu Ciyi.

Fu Ciyi smiled faintly and stood up.

The two of them left the bustling flower hall and walked in the quiet woods.

"There have been quite a few memorials impeaching you recently," Yan Xinghe said.

"I know." Fu Ciyi said calmly.

Ever since he put Long Lihui under house arrest, people from almost all different camps have impeached him.

The masters behind these people are nothing more than his "good brothers".

In fact, the reason is simple. They are afraid that his anger will spread to them. At the same time, if they can find a reason to impeach him, those people will naturally not let it go.

Yan Xinghe said directly: "After all, by getting rid of you, they have eliminated their most powerful opponent. No matter how they fight in the future, without you, they imagine that their chances of winning will be greater. But too many people impeaching is never a good thing. Do you need me to unite some people to impeach them in return?"

"That's not necessary." Fu Ciyi declined politely, "For now, it's better not to let others know who our people are."

Yan Xinghe thought of something and suddenly laughed: "It may be that I am too anxious."

"what?"

"Some ministers said that if you say the emperor is protective of his son, he is protecting His Royal Highness Prince Rui. If you say he is not protective of his son, he is not protecting His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince at all. I also heard that after the old prime minister went to the emperor to impeach him but to no avail, he turned around and went to the queen in a hurry."

Fu Ciyi gave his own explanation: "My father ordered me to deal with the affairs of Beiqi, so he naturally turned a blind eye."

"That's fine too."

Yan Xinghe nodded. As long as Beiqi handled things well, those ministers who impeached their brother-in-law should shut up.

From another perspective, after the affairs of Beiqi are handled, my brother-in-law will be one step closer to the position of crown prince.
-
Time flies so fast, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the palace sent someone to Prince Rui's mansion, and Eunuch Song brought him to Yan Funing.

"Princess, Eunuch Mo is here."

Eunuch Song said this, and Eunuch Mo took a step forward.

Yan Funing was directing people to prune the orange trees. It was a light pruning, mainly to thin out the dense branches to ensure that more leaves could receive sunlight. At this moment, she heard the voice and turned around. Seeing the person coming, she smiled and asked, "Eunuch Mo, are you here for something?"

Eunuch Mo bowed with a smile and said, "The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Yun miss you so much and hope you can come to the palace and chat with them."

"Okay, I'll go today." Yan Funing agreed.

"Then this old servant will return to the palace." Eunuch Mo immediately withdrew, said something to Eunuch Song, and left.

When he walked away, Eunuch Song approached Yan Funing and said, "The Queen Mother and the others miss the princess. The princess must come to the palace immediately, right?"

"No hurry, we need to prepare some snacks."

"Snacks?" Eunuch Song was surprised.

Yan Funing pursed her lips and smiled: "The grandmothers are keeping each other company now, and they don't have much time to think about me."

Mainly, I miss the various kinds of food on East Third Street.

After a slight pause, he added, "Besides, I can't go to the palace to see them empty-handed."

"What the princess said is very true." Eunuch Song smiled, "The princess is still careful."

Yan Funing called Caiyu over and said, "Take your people to East Third Street and buy a soft-cooked medicinal dish for each of them. Buy all the snacks that the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Yun, and Concubine Ling like the most, and put it on my account."

Caiyu said yes and was about to leave.

"Wait." Yan Funing ordered again, "Chengwenlou has a lot of dishes. My mother likes them. Take them away too."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Caiyu called Caishi, and several second-class maids left.

As they walked away, they passed Leng Feng and his group.

The men walked quickly across the courtyard, bowed hurriedly to Yan Funing, and headed towards the study.

Yan Funing was startled and looked at Eunuch Song: "Is there something big going on?"

Eunuch Song nodded and said, "It looks like he's in a hurry."

Yan Funing pointed to several branches that needed to be pruned and told the steward to do so, while she took Eunuch Song towards the study.

When they arrived, Leng Feng and others were presenting the secret letter to Fu Ciyi.

Yan Funing asked Fu Jiang, who was closest to her, softly, "You look so serious, what happened?"

"Urgent news from Northern Xinjiang." Fu Jiang lowered his voice.

As for what was written in the urgent report, they, as subordinates, dared not read it before their master, so they did not know and could only deliver the urgent report to His Highness as soon as possible.

Fu Ciyi unfolded the urgent report and soon raised his eyebrows: "Very good."

Leng Feng then dared to ask: "Your Highness, is this a victory report?"

"Almost, but not completely." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian caught Beiqi off guard in the first battle in the Northern Frontier."

Everyone was happy and said hello.

Yan Funing smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager ordered me to go to the palace. Can I tell her about this later?"

"You can tell me what you want." Fu Ciyi folded the secret letter again, "I will go to the palace with you."

"If my husband is not busy, it would be nice for us to go together."

When Caiyu returned from East Third Street, the couple brought food into the palace.

In the Empress Dowager's palace at this moment.

"That girl is very smart. She will definitely understand the hidden meaning of my words." The Queen Mother played a leaf card.

"My precious granddaughter-in-law, I love her so much, and only you can order her around like this." Empress Dowager Yun followed with a card.

"Don't worry. If someone around me spreads the word, she will know that we are greedy." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Ling, "It's your turn to make a move."

There is a lot of food in the palace.

But given their seniority, it is not proper for them to ask for snacks often.

Fortunately, their granddaughter-in-law is very sensible.

Concubine Ling played her cards and said with a smile, "I feel sorry for her too. Among all the young people in the royal family, she is the only one who calls me grandma."
