A few months later, the emperor's beloved daughter, Princess Le 'an, got married. The wedding was grand and extraordinary. It was a three-day night celebration. The entire capital was jubilant. The noble families were also overjoyed. Fortunately, this Bodhisattva did not marry into their family.
But after the ceremony was completed, Zhou Yan had never been able to see the princess once. On the night of the wedding, he was arranged to rest in a courtyard by the people of the princess's manor. The next day, he was sent out of the princess's manor.
Fortunately, the royal family remembered that he was still married to a princess and had given him a mansion. According to etiquette, the princess did not bring him along and returned to the palace by herself, causing the empress and other concubines to be shocked.
Although the Emperor found it strange, he still doted on Lingluo and said,""Why? Did he make you angry? I heard that he didn't even enter your room.”
Although Lingluo liked good-looking men, she didn't want to be wronged to touch such an unclean man. She also didn't think that the matter of the princess's manor could be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears.
He couldn't hide this kind of thing forever, so he might as well make it clear. He picked the largest crystal grape from the plate of fruit held by the maid beside him and coaxed the Emperor to eat it. Then, he said frankly,"He didn't make me angry. I haven't talked to him yet. I just liked him a few days ago. I don't like him anymore today and I'm impatient to see him.”
Lingluo was so straightforward. If she liked it, she liked it. If she didn't like it, she didn't like it. She didn't care about her popularity for three minutes. Once the novelty was over, it would be gone.
Before the Emperor could say anything, the Empress could not help but speak up." Le 'an, your father will have to meet the Prince Consort after three days of marriage.”
Lingluo chuckled and said to the Emperor,""Father, haven't you seen him? What else do you want to see?"
The old Emperor hurriedly nodded and said with a smile,""Luoluo is right. There's no need to look anymore after seeing it.”"If Luoluo doesn't like this Prince Consort, then we'll change to another one, okay?"”
The Empress's heart felt stifled when she heard this. Did he dote on his daughter so much again? He even said that he would change the Fuma.
Lingluo waved her hand." I'll take this. It's better to be a decoration than those officials worrying about Luoluo.”
The Emperor was filled with gratification when he heard this. He hurriedly said to the Empress, Noble Consort, and the others beside him,""Look at this scattered filial piety.”
Other than Lingluo and the Emperor, who had a deep father-daughter relationship, everyone else felt suffocated in their hearts. At the same time, they were also glad that Princess Le 'an had not descended to their maternal family. With an Emperor who doted on his daughter so much, it was too troublesome to be the Prince Consort.
In addition to jealousy, the empress and concubines were also envious. It was not easy for women in this world. They had to obey three orders and four virtues. They had to help their husbands and teach their children. Even a noble empress had to be virtuous and virtuous to recruit a harem for the emperor. It was better to be the emperor's daughter.
However, when she thought of the princess who had been taught to be virtuous and virtuous in her own palace, so that she could choose a useful husband to help her brother, she could not help but sigh. This princess was different from the other princesses. Who could be like Princess Le 'an who was so favored and dared to do as she pleased without caring about other people's opinions?
He was also rewarded like flowing water and walked out of the palace under the envious and jealous gazes of the people. He expressed that he was very satisfied. He liked to see people who were envious and jealous but could not do anything.
It didn't take long for the news of Princess Le 'an's new consort not being favored to spread throughout the capital. Not many people found it strange. With Princess Le' an's temperament of liking the new and despising the old, this was normal.
The new top scorer was indeed good-looking, but that was all. Princess Le 'an had never seen any good-looking sons since she was young, so she didn't receive any by her side. Therefore, this matter only spread for two days before it gradually faded.
But Zhou Yan was extremely depressed in his heart. Originally, he thought that he would reach the heavens in one step. Who knew that the Princess was not even willing to see him.
Princess Le 'an was the most favored princess of the day. There would be many people who would fawn on her husband and curry favor with him. However, he was not favored. The officials and rich people who wanted to find connections would go to Princess Le' an's favorite gigolo. How could they pay attention to him, the neglected husband?
Becoming a Fuma was no different from cutting off his path of official career. Having a noble title and house in vain, that bit of Fuma's salary every month, if it was in the past, Zhou Yan would be happy and satisfied. But after witnessing the Princess's holy favor at her wedding and the Princess's manor's wealth that made people speechless, Zhou Yan was not willing to give up on pursuing the honor of this true Fuma no matter what.
The human heart was lacking, so greed naturally arose.
Zhou Yan wholeheartedly wanted to enter the Princess's manor and talk about the relationship between husband and wife with Lingluo. But regardless of whether it was the people in the Princess 'manor or the people around the Princess, they had all been instructed. Princess Le' an did not want to see the Fuma, so they would naturally also do their best to not let the Fuma appear in the places that the Princess saw.
At some banquets, a young man with a gorgeous appearance caught a glimpse of Zhou Yan who was drinking away his sorrows in the distance and laughed mockingly," That's our Fuma? Or the new top scorer?"
The guests who knew the young man's identity could not help but laugh dryly. This was not an old love meeting a new love. It was not right to call him a new love. That Prince Consort was just sitting on a cold bench. He was not as good as this Wu Tanhua. At least he would be doted on for a period of time. He even used the princess's face to enter the court as an official.
Fu Yu looked at the sanctimonious and hypocritical top scorer and gritted his teeth.
He had thought that he would be able to stand by the princess's side better after becoming a Wu Tanhua, and that the princess would be able to look at him more. Who would have thought that the princess would actually treat him coldly and never see him again?
Was three years of friendship really not worth mentioning?
He was just a scholar, what was so great about him? It was normal for him to be ignored by the princess. Although she thought so, Fu Yu could not help but feel jealous. She was jealous of the title of Prince Consort.
Fu Yu swallowed a large mouthful of amber wine. His eyes were red as he walked straight towards the Fuma.
The people who saw this scene could not help but feel their hearts thump. This Wu Tanhua had a really fierce temper and was also very capable. If she were to make a move on the Fuma, this banquet would be ruined.
The scabbard slammed onto the mahogany table, giving Zhou Yan a fright. Raising his head, he saw a young man with a handsome appearance that was almost beautiful. But he could still see through the malice that was shining brightly in the young man's gaze.
"Fuma, let's drink together.”Fu Yu smirked sarcastically.
"No, I can't drink." Even though he did not know why the other party harbored ill intentions, Zhou Yan still pretended to decline humbly.
A snow-white saber light flashed and the sharp saber was unsheathed. Fu Yu played with the sharp tip of the saber and sighed casually.
"Then Fuma is looking down on a little Wu Tan Hua like me.”
The white-saber beauty was supposed to be pleasing to the eye, but the oppressive killing intent still pressed down on Zhou Yan until his face turned slightly pale. He forced a smile." That Zhou Yan would rather obey than be respectful."”
"Bring the wine." Fu Yu said loudly, the corners of her brows and eyes carrying a biting cold sharpness." Today, I will not return until I'm drunk with the Fuma."”
Zhou Yan naturally did not manage to drink Fu Yu's wine. One jar went down and he fell over. Fu Yu also did not have the interest to discipline a drunken spineless person. It was still the banquet's host who instructed to send Fuma Qiu back.
After a night, what should be known about this subtle conflict between Fu Yu and Zhou Yan was also known.
However, no one in the princess's manor dared to mention it in front of Lingluo. The reason was very simple. They were all people that the princess did not intend to pay attention to anymore. Talking about them would only annoy the princess. If they could not even do this little thing well, there was no need to stay by the princess's side.
Zhou Yan also knew that the person who deliberately made things difficult for him that day was this year's Wu Tanhua, and also Princess Le 'an's former bodyguard. It was not difficult to understand why she would be hostile to him.
Compared to dealing with his love rival, Zhou Yan cared more about being able to see the princess. Hence, he took advantage of the hangover and accidentally caught a cold, and very quickly fell ill. Unfortunately, he was not able to see the princess personally like he thought, so he could only 'recover from his illness'.
Just as Zhou Yan was racking his brains to think of a way to see the Princess, many places in the south were flooded.
Lingluo was lazily lying on the chaise longue, eating the lychees that had just been shipped over this year. The imperial court was about to turn the heavens upside down over the disaster relief matter, so she did not join in the fun and also ordered to refuse any interviews.
There were countless factions fighting against each other in this kind of disaster relief and flood control. The national treasury was still full, so there was no need for her to use her family's wealth to fight for fame. At this critical time, she, as a princess, would not contribute.
However, Chen Xiaolian was about to go to the capital soon. Lingluo left some thoughts and instructed some people to keep an eye on her.
At the city gate, a delicate and pretty woman dressed in coarse linen clothes held her son and daughter's hands. When she saw the two words 'Capital,' she heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived in the capital. Husband should be studying hard for the imperial examination here.
This woman was none other than Chen Xiaolian.
Thinking of her parents-in-law who could not make it through, Chen Xiaolian could not help but feel sad from the bottom of her heart. She felt even more guilty towards her husband, Zhou Yan.
Although she was hoping to find her husband, Zhou Yan, the capital was huge and Chen Xiaolian was unfamiliar with the place. She could only settle down first before looking for him.
At first, it was difficult. Chen Xiaolian sent embroidery to the clothing shop every day before she could borrow a small house to take care of her children. One day, she went to deliver embroidery again. On the way, she saw a person sitting at the top of the restaurant drinking with others. With just a glance, Chen Xiaolian recognized him. That was her husband who she had been with for many years, Zhou Yan.
In her excitement, Chen Xiaolian's embroidery accidentally fell to the ground. She hurriedly picked up the embroidery and patted the dust off it. When she went to look for the restaurant where she saw her husband, she found that there was no one there.
Chen Xiaolian found a waiter from the restaurant and said anxiously,"Where is Langjun, who was sitting there just now?”
"That's the dignified Fuma. Why are you asking this? Go, go, go." The waiter of the restaurant waved his hand and chased Chen Xiaolian out. Although Prince Consort Qiu was not favored, he was still a noble person to the common people. How could he dare to offend him?
"Fuma? How could he be the Prince Consort? You must be mistaken." Chen Xiaolian said in panic. She would not mistake her husband for someone else. This shop assistant must have said something wrong.
"Where did this crazy woman come from? Don't disrupt our restaurant's business.”The shop assistant chased Chen Xiaolian out.
Chen Xiaolian walked on the street in a daze, forgetting to even deliver the embroidery to others. Why would my husband marry a princess and become the emperor's son-in-law? She was his first wife, and she had even given birth to his children and taken care of his parents-in-law so that he would not have any worries and focus on the examination.
As she walked, Chen Xiaolian saw the signboard of the Capital Mansion. She wiped away the tears on her face, and a determined look flashed across her eyes as she walked towards the Drum of Wronging Injustice at the entrance of the Capital Mansion.
