Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 326, Prince An (two more)

The two followed the middle-aged man into Prince An's mansion, only to find that the mansion was extremely quiet and empty. Although everything was very clean and tidy, the three of them walked all the way in and only saw a servant who was cleaning snow in the garden. There is absolutely no feeling of the royal mansion that Leng Sa imagines, the splendid and magnificent servants are like clouds.

Not all palaces in the capital are like this. At least the Prince Mu’s palace that Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng visited before is still a normal palace. It was quiet after being injured.

"The two of you, please, the lord is waiting for the two in Lanyuan." The middle-aged man led the way, turned back and smiled at the two of them, "The third master likes to be quiet, so there are not many people, if there is any negligence Please forgive me for the place."

While talking, the three of them had arrived in front of a moon-shaped doorway with the words Orchid Garden in the backyard. There was a middle-aged maid at the door, apparently making a special trip to wait for them there.

When I saw them coming, I said to the middle-aged man, "The third master said that it is enough to invite the two distinguished guests directly, no need to notify."

The middle-aged man nodded and gestured to the two of them.

Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng looked at each other and walked in hand in hand.

Orchid Garden is very similar to the entire palace, and even appears more secluded and quieter than the outside due to seasonal reasons.

Leng Sa always thinks that people who live in this kind of place all the year round, even if they are not heart-stopping.

Following the guidance of the middle-aged man, they walked into the flower house in the corner of the yard. The entire flower room is made of glass, and you can vaguely see the inside from standing outside.

"Third Master." The middle-aged man stood at the door and said respectfully, and a warm laughter came from inside, "Come in? Please come in."

The door was opened, and Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng walked in.

Compared to the outside, it looks very warm and lively in the flower room. It is filled with various flowers, some of which are blooming beautifully. Compared with the quiet and quiet cold gray and green outside, it has a lot more color.

A man in a plain long shirt is squatting next to a pot of flowers, holding a water bottle with his sleeves rolled up. Hearing them coming in, he slowly stood up and looked back at the three people at the door. He smiled and said, "Young Master Fu, I haven't seen him for many years. Is this Mrs. Master Fu?"

Fu Fengcheng nodded slightly, his expression calm but somewhat respectful, "Exactly. Prince, long time no see."

The man put the water bottle aside, put down his rolled up sleeves and said with a smile, "It's really been a long time, Mrs. Fu Shao, let go of the rudimentary, I'm laughing."

Leng Sa shook his head, "It is an honor for the younger generation to meet the prince."

The man waved his hand and smiled at the two of them, "It's a mess here, let's go and talk."

Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng followed him out of the flower room from the other side, but entered the study a few steps away. The windows on both sides of the study were open but it didn't look cold. The man asked the two to sit down, and then waved away the middle-aged maid who served tea to pour tea for the two of them. Leng Sa had the time to carefully look at the once An Xia emperor who is now Prince An.

Prince An is sixty-five this year, about the same age as Governor Fu. But he was a prince from birth. Although his fate was unpredictable and he abdicated a few years after he ascended the throne, after all, he had never suffered much, so he looked much younger than Dujun Fu.

The kind of noble and elegant temperament that the royal family has cultivated for many years is even more difficult for ordinary people to match. Even Zhang Bi, who came from a famous scholar, is completely different.

This Prince An is the most elegant and graceful man Leng Sa has ever seen before and after. Comparing with him, the Chief Guard, Xiulanzhou, Zhang Jingzhi, and these people inevitably seem too young to be a little bit worse.

However, Leng Sa thinks that he is not like an emperor, but more like the kind of free and easy king described in the book, except for the faint sullen look between his brows.

As a descendant of the royal family, the world that has been passed down for hundreds of years is ending in his own hands. Even if he chooses it actively, it must be a bit sad, right?

While Leng Sa looked at Prince An, Prince An was also looking at the two of them.

Looking at the pair of beautiful people sitting in front of him, Prince An's expression became a little disappointed, "Speaking of which, I and Ling Zun have not seen each other for almost twenty years."

Leng Sa raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. He didn't expect that Prince An would take the initiative to talk about Commander Fu. After all, those who overthrew the Xiao family's rule and forced Prince An to abdicate were also part of Dujun Fu.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and said, "Yes, my father said that he has not seen the prince's style in more than 20 years."

Prince An shook his head with a smile, "Fu Zheng can't speak so nicely."

"..." Dujun Fu's words were indeed not pleasant, but Master Fu felt that it was enough, and there was 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 met Ling Zun in the capital?"

Fu Fengcheng shook his head, and Prince An sighed lightly, "He told me, no matter what you do with the Xiao family, you'll have to finish the game sooner or later. I almost got into a fight with Ping Tao at the time, but I think about him now. That's right."

Fu Fengcheng thought for a while, "These are not the prince's fault."

At the time when the Xiao family's imperial power fell, no one could change it, not even the emperor himself.

Prince An did not try hard to reform after he ascended the throne.

There is still a large group of nobles and bureaucrats in the court hall who are guarding the ancient Chinese calendar and refuse to share the slightest bit of their own interests. Even if the royal family wants to reform, they will be attacked by them. Therefore, their so-called loyalty to the monarch is just a matter of listening. Once the emperor conflicts with their interests, they don't mind changing to another emperor.

Prince An chose to abdicate not only to protect the royal family, but also because his conflicts with those court officials could not be reconciled, and he could not see any hope for the future.

Prince An shook his head, "I consciously tried my best. After all, I am not capable, not the one who can turn the tide. If you don't talk about it, these old things are meaningless."

After saying that, Prince An looked at Leng Sa who was sitting beside Fu Fengcheng and said with a smile, "Leng Lao came to see me when he first came to Beijing last year, and he even mentioned Mrs. Fu Shao. I was a little curious at that time, Mrs. Fu Shao. What kind of person is he? Now it seems that it doesn't quite resemble the description of Leng Lao, but it doesn't look like a girl who grew up in a Leng family."

Of course Leng Sa knew that Mrs. Leng would not say anything nice about her, "I made the prince laugh."

Prince An waved his hand and said, "No, the young lady is very good. If all women were like the young lady, the world would be much more interesting."

"There are naturally many powerful women in this world, the younger generation is like this... but it doesn't count."

Nowadays, it is much more open than before. Although many women still rely on their fathers, brothers and husbands to live, there are also many who have made good achievements in their respective fields. There are female professors, female doctors, businesswomen and even female officials, so Leng Sa's current achievements are really nothing, she is more famous because she is the eldest wife of the Fu family.

Prince An said: "Unfortunately, this huge capital is full of talented people, but there has not been a second such person in these years. The first time I saw the young lady, I thought you were like an old friend."

"Huh?" Leng Sa was a little curious, and Prince An smiled, "Speaking of which... this person is also from the south, but he came from a famous family, but he went north alone and was admitted to Jingcheng University at the age of fourteen. At that time, a female college student was admitted. It is much rarer than it is now. She also has a vulgar appearance like the young lady, and has excellent intelligence. Many famous young masters in the capital love her and hope that she is willing to marry as a wife. It's a pity..."

Prince An's eyes swept across Fu Fengcheng lightly, "She chose the person who is least favored by others."

Leng Sa blinked, "What happened later? Did they overcome all odds and become married and live happily ever after?" This is how the novel is written.

Prince An said with a bitter smile, "If that's the case, why is it so difficult? The two of them later broke up, and they went their separate ways and never saw each other again."

"Ah? So... what happened to that young lady?" Leng Sa asked.

Prince An squinted slightly and smiled lightly, "Later...they probably got what they wanted?"

"..." The story of this prince is... quite boring. However, Prince An said it was a real person, but Leng Sa thought about it and didn't understand who he was talking about. It can only be blamed on the fact that what this guy said was too obscure. Are all the people in the capital so mysterious?

Prince An just chatted with the two and discussed some current affairs with Fu Fengcheng.

Leng Sa felt that this Prince An had clear thoughts and insightful thoughts, and she felt a sense of relief after hearing a few words from him about some things that she couldn't understand. If he had been born in the heyday of the dynasty, this man would have been an excellent monarch, but it can only be said that he was indeed born at an untimely time.

When the last two people came out of Prince An's mansion, Leng Sa didn't understand why the prince invited them here.

Are you just chatting?

Seeing that Fu Fengcheng and Leng Sa were sent out again by the middle-aged man, Prince An sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled, "Fu Zheng's luck is really not comparable to anyone. It's just this pair of Jiaer. A good daughter-in-law is ten times better than others."

A slender but upright figure came in from the outside, "It seems that the lord is really bored, and he is interested in other people's sons and daughters-in-law, so let's just make fun of others' affairs?"

The person here is not someone else, it is Ms. Zhuo Lin who is also in the capital these days.

Different from Prince An who wears a gown, Zhuo Lin wears a smart and concise ladies suit every day, and there is a little bit of pressure in the cold winter. But Prince An obviously wouldn't be affected by her aura, "How could it be boring? In the future, this An Xia... may be in the hands of the Fu family. Besides, did I arrange that you don't know?"

Zhuo Lin frowned slightly, walked across to him and sat down, "I'm afraid I can't see it right now, the Long family and the Song family are not fuel-efficient lamps." She skipped the words behind him.

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

"I thought you always disliked 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 targeted?"

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 cause of the disaster is still in the capital, since you don't want to be in charge. Don't mix it up, guess how many people secretly get angry when you see the eldest young master and young lady of the Fu family today."

Prince An laughed and said helplessly, "These people are too cautious."

"They can't be careful, your teacher hasn't given up yet?" Zhuo Lin said lightly.

Prince An he sighed and said, "Sometimes... Actually, I really want to leave An Xia. But after thinking about it, I feel reluctant. It can be seen that this is inevitably hypocritical."

Zhuolin was silent. They all knew that no matter how reluctant Prince An was, it was almost impossible for him to leave the capital in his lifetime. No matter who is in power, he will not rest assured that a former emperor is walking around. Whether he wants to or not, Xiao Zhu can only stay in this small courtyard, "These years, you have worked hard for you."

"Compared to losing my home in a river of blood, why am I suffering like this?" Prince An said with a light smile.
