Chapter 324

They followed the middle-aged man into Prince Anqin's residence, and found that the residence was quiet and empty. Although everything was very clean and tidy, the three walked all the way in and only saw a servant cleaning the snow in the garden. There was no feeling of carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and servants like clouds in lengsa's imagination.

Not all the royal houses in the capital are like this. At least the prince Mu's house that lengsa and Fu Fengcheng visited before is still a normal royal house. As for the prince Xiao's house, it is said that it was also quite high-profile. It was only a few months ago that the prince Xiao was injured that it fell silent.

"Please come inside. The Lord is waiting for you in Lanyuan." the middle-aged man led the way in front, turned back and smiled at them. "The third Lord likes quiet, so there are not many people. If there is any neglect, please forgive me."

While talking, the three had reached a moon shaped doorway in the backyard that said LAN yuan. At the door stood a middle-aged servant woman, obviously waiting for them there.

Seeing them coming, he opened his mouth and said to the middle-aged man, "the Third Master said to invite two distinguished guests in directly. There is no need to inform."

The middle-aged man nodded and made a gesture of invitation to them.

Lengsa and Fu Fengcheng looked at each other and walked in hand in hand.

Orchid garden is very consistent with the temperament and style of the whole palace, and even more quiet than outside due to season.

Lengsa always felt that people who lived in such places all year round, even if they were not calm.

With the guidance of the middle-aged man, they walked into the flower house in the corner of the yard. The whole flower house is made of glass. Standing outside, you can vaguely see the situation inside.

"Third master." the middle-aged man stood at the door respectfully, and a warm laughter came from inside. "Here you are? Please come in."

The door was opened and lengsa and Fu Fengcheng went in.

Compared with the outside, the greenhouse is very warm and lively. It is dotted with all kinds of flowers, some of which are in full bloom. With the cold gray and green outside, there are many colors.

A man in a plain long shirt was squatting next to a pot of flowers, holding a kettle in his hand and watering the flowers with his sleeve. When they came in, they slowly stood up, looked back at the three people at the door and said with a smile, "Fu Shao, I haven't seen you for many years. This is Mrs. Fu Shao?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, looked calm, but his eyebrows were somewhat respectful, "it's the prince. I haven't seen you for a long time."

The man put the kettle aside, put down his rolled up sleeve and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Mrs. Fu Shao. I'm laughing at your rudeness."

Lengsa shook his head. "It's an honor for the younger generation to see the prince."

The man waved his hand and smiled at them. "It's very chaotic here. Let's go and talk next to it."

Lengsa and Fu Fengcheng followed him out of the flower house from the other side, but they entered the study a few steps away. The windows on both sides of the study were open, but they didn't seem cold. The man asked them to sit down and waved back the middle-aged servant woman who served tea to pour tea for them. Leng SA had the time to carefully look at the former Emperor of Anxia and now Prince an.

Prince an is fifty and six this year, about the same age as Fu dujun. But he was the prince from birth. Although his fate was unpredictable and he abdicated a few years after he became king, he was still rich in clothes and food and did not suffer much. Therefore, he looked much younger than Fu dujun.

The noble and elegant temperament cultivated by the royal family for many years is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even Zhang Bi, who was born in a famous scholarly family, is completely different.

Prince an was the most elegant, dignified and elegant man lengsa had ever seen before and after. Compared with him, Wei Changxiu, Lou Lanzhou, Zhang Jingzhi, these people inevitably look too young, so that they are always a little worse.

However, lengsa felt that he was not like an emperor, but more like the carefree King described in the book, except for the faint melancholy between his eyebrows.

As a child of the royal family, the world that has been inherited for hundreds of years ends in his own hands. Even if he chooses it on his own initiative, it must be a little sad, right?

Lengsa looked at Prince an at the same time, Prince an also looked at them.

Looking at the pair of Bi people sitting in front of him, Prince an looked a little disappointed. "Speaking of it, I haven't seen your father for almost 20 years."

Lengsa slightly raised her eyebrows and was surprised. Unexpectedly, Prince an would take the initiative to talk about Fu dujun. After all, there was also Fu dujun among those who forced Prince an to abdicate after overthrowing the rule of the Xiao family.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "yes, my father once said that he had not seen the prince's style for more than 20 years."

Prince an shook his head with a smile. "Fu Zheng's speech won't be so pleasant."

"...." Fu dujun's words are really not pleasant to hear, but Fu Dashao feels that he can get the meaning, and there is no need to repeat the original words.

Prince an seems to be in a good mood. "Fu shaoke knows what he told me when he first saw your father in the capital?"

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and Prince an sighed, "he told me that if you want to continue with the Xiao family, it will be over sooner or later. At that time, he almost had a fight with Ping Tao, but now he's right."

Fu Fengcheng thought for a moment, "I don't blame the prince for these."

At that time, no one could change the imperial power of the Xiao family, even the Emperor himself.

Prince an did not try to reform after he ascended the throne, but it is hard to return, and the people of Anxia have long lost confidence and awe of the royal family.

However, there are a large group of nobles and bureaucrats who are guarding the ancient Yellow calendar and are unwilling to distinguish their own interests. Even if the royal family intends to reform, they will attack them. So their so-called loyal monarchs just listen. Once the emperor conflicts with their interests, they don't mind changing an emperor.

Prince an chose to abdicate not only to preserve the royal family, but also because his contradictions with those court officials could not be reconciled. He could not see the hope of the future.

Prince an shook his head. "I try my best. After all, I'm not able to turn the tide. Without this, these old things are meaningless."

After that, Prince an looked at lengsa sitting next to Fu Fengcheng and said with a smile, "when Leng Lao first came to Beijing last year, he also mentioned Mrs. Fu Shao. At that time, I was curious about what kind of person Mrs. Fu Shao was. Now it seems that it is not very similar to Leng Lao's description, but it doesn't look like a girl who grew up in the Leng family."

Lengsa certainly knew that old master Leng was afraid he wouldn't say anything good about her, "let the prince laugh."

Prince an waved his hand and said, "no, young lady, it's good. If women are like young lady, the world must be much more interesting."

"Naturally, there are many powerful women in the world. I don't think so."

Nowadays, it is much more open than before. Although many women still rely on their father, brother and husband, there are also many who have made great achievements in their respective fields. There are female professors, female doctors, businesswomen and even female officials. In this way, lengsa's current achievements are really nothing. She is more famous because she is the eldest and youngest wife of the Fu family.

Prince an said, "it's a pity that there are so many talents in this great capital, but there has been no such person in recent years. At the first sight of Mrs. Da Shao, I think you are very much like an old friend."

"Eh?" Leng SA was curious. Prince an smiled, "Speaking of... This man is also from the south. He was born in a famous family, but when he was 14 years old, he went north alone and was admitted to Beijing University. At that time, female college students were much less common than now. She also had the same appearance and excellent intelligence as young lady. Many famous young scholars in Beijing loved her and hoped that she would be willing to marry her. What a pity..."

Prince an glanced faintly at Fu Fengcheng, "but she chose the one who was least favored."

Lengsa blinked. "What happened later? Did they overcome all difficulties and get married? They have been happy in pairs all their lives since then?" it is written in all the novels.

Prince an smiled helplessly and said, "if so, why is it difficult to calm people? The two of them broke up later and ran to each other. They never saw each other again."

"Ah? So... What happened to the young lady?" lengsa asked.

Prince an narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a light smile, "later... They probably got what they wanted?"

"..." the prince's story is quite boring. However, Prince an said he was a real person, but lengsa didn't want to know who he was talking about after thinking about it. It can only be attributed to the obscurity of what he said. Are people in the capital so mysterious?

Later, Prince an just chatted with them. During this period, he also discussed some current affairs with Fu Fengcheng.

Lengsa felt that Prince an had a clear idea and had a very insightful idea. There were some things she didn't understand. She felt enlightened after listening to him in a few words. If she was born in the heyday of the imperial dynasty, she must also be an excellent Mingjun. It can only be said that she was really unlucky.

When the last two came out of Prince Anqin's house, lengsa didn't understand why the prince asked them to come here?

Simple chat?

Seeing that Fu Fengcheng and lengsa were sent out again by the middle-aged man, Prince an sighed lightly, shook his head and said with a smile, "Fu Zheng's luck is really not comparable to anyone. This pair of beautiful daughter-in-law is ten times and a hundred times better than others."

A slender but straight figure came in from the outside. "It seems that the Lord is really bored. He is even interested in other people's sons and daughters-in-law. He also makes fun of other people's things?"

The visitor is no one else. It is Ms. Zhuo Lin who is also in the capital these days.

Unlike Prince an, who wears a long gown, Zhuo Lin always wears a capable and concise women's suit. In the cold winter, there is a bit of pressing pressure. But Prince an obviously won't be affected by her momentum, "how can it be boring? In the future, an Xia... May be in the hands of the Fu family. Besides, do I arrange you don't know?"

Zhuo Lin frowned slightly and sat down opposite him. "I'm afraid I can't see it now. The dragon family and the Song family are not fuel-efficient lamps." she directly skipped the words behind him.

Prince an shook his head, "the dragon family is hard to say, the Song family... I'm afraid it's almost."

"I thought you were always unhappy with Fu Zheng."

Prince an said with a smile, "I still don't like Fu Zheng, but it doesn't prevent me from seeing his son. But... Is the Fu family being watched?"

Zhuo Lin also frowned and thought for a moment. "You mean last year? I'm afraid it's not just the Fu family." she looked up at Prince an, "I'm afraid the curse is still in the capital. Since you don't want to be in charge, don't get involved in it. Guess how many people are worried when you see the Fu family's senior and junior wives today."

Prince an laughed and said helplessly, "these people are too cautious."

"Can't help but they are not careful. Your teacher hasn't given up yet?" Zhuo Lin said faintly.

Prince an sighed and said, "sometimes... In fact, I really want to leave Anxia. But when I think about it, I feel reluctant. It can be seen that it is inevitable to be hypocritical."

Zhuo Lin was silent. They all knew that whether Prince an gave up or not, it was almost impossible for him to get out of the capital in his lifetime. No matter who is in power, he can't rest assured that a former Emperor walked around. Whether he wants it or not, Xiao Zhu can only stay in this small yard, "you've worked hard these years."

"Compared with the river of blood and displacement, where am I suffering?" Prince an said with a light smile.
