Then he ate a small piece of dried meat: "Mm, crispy, soft and tender, and not sticky in the teeth, really good.""If you like to eat it, I'll leave it for you." Yan Funing put the entire purse into Concubine Yun's hands. Concubine Yun's eyes were filled with tears again, but they quickly disappeared: "Okay, I'll accept it." She also likes to eat jelly beans. She was happy to be able to eat it again after so many years. She didn't know if she would be able to eat it in the future, but at least she could eat it today, so she accepted it. She had to hide it to prevent it from being snatched away by other old women. Fu Ciyi glanced at the sky and said goodbye: "I will come to see you another day. You can't miss the palace banquet today." Concubine Yun nodded and saw him off personally. "You don't have to see me off." Yan Funing said, "The road outside is slippery." "I'm right at the door."

Concubine Yun waved at them. She still stood there until the young couple disappeared from view. The maid came over to help her up: "Your Majesty is very happy today." "I can't help but be happy. Wen Yu is still alive." Concubine Yun burst into tears. "He also married such a beautiful and sensible woman. I am happy." The jelly beans are really sweet. After eating the jerky, I felt warm all over. Concubine Yun sat back down and stroked the purse slowly: "The purse is so delicately made, it looks so beautiful." The maid said, "The prince has grown up and is as quiet as he was when he was little. His princess consort is talkative, and doesn't seem to be afraid of strangers. She is also beautiful, which makes people happy." "Yes." Concubine Yun nodded and gave her a piece of dried meat and a candy bean. "You have been following me all these years, so I will give you a sweet taste." "Thank you, Master!" "Eat." "I will eat it right away." The palace maid smiled and put the candy beans into her mouth. Concubine Yun sighed: "That shrewish woman, the Concubine Dowager, gave birth to a son as bastard as the Prince of Jin, but she actually has a grandson as sensible as Wen Yu!" She was not envious of anyone else but the concubine dowager for having a sensible grandson like Wen Yu. More than ten years ago, I heard that there was a fire in the Prince of Jin's mansion, and the Princess of Jin and the Crown Prince were both buried in the flames. At that time, she saw the flames rising from Prince Jin's Mansion from the cold palace, and she felt heartbroken. Now that he has come back safely and is still thinking about an old woman like me, this is enough for her life! Fu Ciyi took Yan Funing out of the cold palace.

As her feet stepped on the snow, Yan Funing's brows curved. "It turns out that my husband actually liked eating candy beans when he was a child. But when we first got married, you didn't like them. Were you pretending?" "What are you pretending to be for your husband?" There's always a time for people to grow up. "Humph, you're not pretending?" She sneered, "Or were you just too embarrassed to eat at that time?" "You always liked to feed me then." "How could I?" she retorted. "You are only thinking about divorcing me, yet you feed me food. Isn't that contradictory?" "That's because I'm afraid of you. I'm afraid you'll kill me if you get angry. I'm trying to please you. Can't you see that?" "No wonder." "What's the wonder?" "No wonder you always show fear." "Okay, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about when to come next time. Tell me in advance so I can prepare more food." The restaurant is open and there are many snack shops on East Third Street. She could bring a lot of food to the cold palace for Concubine Yun. "Ningning, thank you." Fu Ciyi thanked sincerely. "Why thank me? I naturally value people that my husband values. And I can see that although Concubine Yun is in the cold palace, her heart is warm." When the couple returned to the main hall, the dinner was about to begin. When Yan Xinghe saw them coming back, he glanced at Fu Ciyi sharply. Fu Ciyi also glanced at him. The two of them were like a thorn in the flesh, neither of them giving in. To outsiders, this scene seemed like the two were about to quarrel again. The reason why he didn't argue at this moment was probably because the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were both present. When the prince saw this scene, the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously. Very good, Yan Xinghe is there to deal with Fu Ciyi. This trick is really brilliant! How could he be so smart? He is indeed the only candidate to inherit the throne. Long Yi, who was chatting with King Cheng, turned to see Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing coming back, and whispered, "I don't know where the bastard has been, but he finally found his way here." Qiao Wanyou heard this and asked softly, "Are Ci Yi and Fu Ning back?" Long Yi said "hmm" unhappily.

"Take me there." Qiao Wanyou quickly asked Long Yi to help her walk to her son and daughter-in-law. Long Yi had no choice, as his princess couldn't see it, and he wanted to win her heart back, so he took her there. When she arrived in front of her son and daughter-in-law, Wan Niang lowered her voice and asked, "Where have you been?" "We just strolled around the Imperial Garden." Yan Funing said softly and playfully, "Does mother miss us?" "Naughty, what did mother think happened to you?" The young couple clearly came to the palace in the afternoon, but they were nowhere to be seen. "It's okay, mother." Yan Funing turned her head and saw the prince staring at her sinisterly, so she went to hold Fu Ciyi's hand. Fu Ciyi held her little hand with his backhand, signaling her not to worry. Soon, the emperor said in a loud voice: "It is snowing after all, so the dinner party should start early." As he finished speaking, everyone took their seats according to their rank. After a moment, the palace maids came in one after another. It was a very cold day, but the dancers in cool clothes came to the music. "This snow today indicates that next year will be a good year. It's the end of the year, so let's eat and drink to our heart's content." The emperor raised his glass with full energy. Everyone present stood up and raised their glasses. The atmosphere was quite lively for a while. The emperor's action aroused doubts among the royal family members. Didn't they all say that the emperor was ill? Judging from the tea party just now and his current condition, the news that the dragon is ill is false. The prince's biological father looked at the prince worriedly, and for a moment, several people in the prince's camp also looked at the targets they supported. The emperor saw everything they exchanged glances. It seems that the two medicines modified by the young lady of the Fu family are very useful. Not only did it help him maintain good physical strength, but more importantly, it taught him to see the ugly side of the royal family's hearts. His sight shifted from the Crown Prince to the Second Prince, then to the Third Prince, and then to the subsequent so-called princes. All of these people were actually very distantly related to him. If you want to talk about nearby places, only Longchi'an is here. It’s a pity that Long Chi’an didn’t go out in such a cold weather. After a moment, he shifted his gaze to the offspring of his younger brothers. These young men are his nephews. Compared to the princes who are the sons of their brothers and represent the power of different branches of the royal family, the nephews are actually closer in blood relationship.

After three rounds of drinks, I estimated that it was about time. Fu Ciyi and Yan Xinghe looked at each other, then they both stood up and bowed to the emperor on the dragon throne: "I have something to report." The emperor was surprised: "Minister Fu, Minister Yan, you two said the same thing, which really surprised me." Not only the emperor was surprised, but everyone present was as well. The emperor asked again, "Who of you will play first?" Yan Xinghe glanced at the prince with a smile, then raised his hand to Fu Ciyi, indicating that Fu Ciyi should come first. The prince frowned.
