Chapter 1726 Prince Yang Lu and Mu Fei Xin
This habit of hers was a bit adorable in his eyes.
Mu Fei Xin looked up to see Prince Yang Lu's expression. Seeing that he was not feeling well, she adjusted the words that she was about to say, "Would you like to rest first, Your Highness? You look tired today and this consort had prepared your favorite tea."
"That will be good." Prince Yang Lu smiled and followed his wife to the restroom.
The two of them relaxed and talked about some other things. Mu Fei Xin was paying attention to Prince Yang Lu's expression and when he had relaxed, she finally told him what she wanted to ask.
"Your Highness, my younger sister will get married in a few days. I would like to attend her banquet."
"Your younger sister?" Prince Yang Lu racked his brain for a bit before remembering who it is. He nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, I'll also come with you."
Mu Fei Xin smiled brightly when she heard his answer. "Thank you very much, Your Highness."
Prince Yang Lu looked at this wife of his. In order to make sure that he would not think too much about power and others, his older brother had bestowed to him a lot of concubines over the years. They were indeed beautiful and Prince Yang Lu usually asked them to play something for him and his wife.
As for coming to them…
Honestly, Prince Yang Lu was not very interested.
But he would still show an appearance to their courtyard from to time to show his 'appreciation' of his half brother's effort. As for what he did there, it was nothing more than listening to them singing, drinking some tea, or just read some books with the changed environment.
After a while, he would return to his own courtyard or go to his wife's courtyard.
The main reason why he didn't go to them was because he would be reminded of his mother and everything that happened there. The cruelty that a woman could show was terrifying and it was also in his despair that Mu Fei Xin stood beside him and supported him.
Even if it might be because she wanted to rely on him and knew that this was the only way to survive, he was still touched.
So even if it was strange, he just liked to stay with this one wife of his.
Sometimes, Mu Fei Xin will act polite in front of him but some other times, it was more casual.
It always changed.
For Prince Yang Lu, it was also very refreshing, so he would usually spend his time with his wife. Anyway no one would bother him and said that he was indulging in beauty when he was already an idle prince.
Instead this was something that other people wanted to see from him.
"Who will she get married with?" Prince Yang Lu didn't pay much attention to Mu Fei Xin's younger sister. He knew that Mu Fei Xin asked him for permission to help her younger sister in her marriage preparation, but after that, she didn't look for him again about this matter.
He was also called to the palace a few times and Prince Yang Lu was a bit annoyed at his half older brother's request.
But ah, in order to make sure he could always stay as an idle prince, it was important for him to listen to this order.
"Second Young Master Feng, who's also known as Second Young Commander Feng, and his name is Feng Ao Kuai," Mu Fei Xin introduced. She naturally remembered the name of her sister's husband to be.
Feng Ao Kuai, Feng Ao Kuai…
Prince Yang Lu thought hard about this name. Not attending the morning court for a long time had caused him to be unable to receive news in time. Because he also wanted to avoid suspicion, he was indeed not privy to many things.
But this name sounded familiar.
After a few moments of thinking, he finally remembered where he had heard of this name.
"The recent official that had the highest score in the test?" Prince Yang Lu asked.
"Yes, it's him." Mu Fei Xin smiled. "My sister is lucky to be able to meet with such a good person."
"Is it?" Prince Yang Lu's eyes deepened and he pulled Mu Fei Xin to his lap.
With a squeak, Mu Fei Xin stabilized her body. She glared at Prince Yang Lu as if accusing him. However, Prince Yang Lu just looked at her with amusement and clearly not going to explain himself.
"Why are you praising other men in front of me?"
"He's my younger sister's future husband. I'm just happy for her," Mu Fei Xin explained carefully.
"Is it?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The two of them looked at each other like this for a while before Prince Yang Lu retracted his gaze and nodded. "In that case, let me stay here for a while."
"But I want to take a look at Xiu Zhao…"
"Is our daughter more important than me?"
"Your Highness…"
The maidservants at the side had already retreated far away and closed the door thoughtfully. This thing had happened many times and they were used to the fact that His Highness would spend most of the night with Her Highness.
As maidservants, they just need to serve their masters well.
…
<Imperial Palace, Emperor Yang Zhou's Location>
Emperor Yang Zhou had a lot of business to do and often reviewed the memorial until it was night time. Even if he had rectified the court, there were still many things that had to be done.
It was even more after he left for a while during the battle against Zhang Xu Kingdoms.
Some things were still not done yet.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lan is here."
"Let him in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
