Chapter 2 Today is different from the past


"Girl, my home is in Nanfang, here..."

The flower girl saw Yun Fuyi riding a horse and took her towards the East Street where the nobles lived. She was afraid that her low status would cause trouble to the other party. trouble.

“Don’t worry, I’ll send you back after I’ve taken you out of your anger.” Yun Fuyi looked towards the East Feng Gate of the palace. At this time, the palace banquet should have ended.

Take it out?

The flower girl touched a few heavy purses in her arms. Isn’t it considered that the girl just beat them up and vented her anger?

Entering the East Street where the nobles live, although there are beautiful lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, it is much quieter than other streets. From time to time, a horse-drawn carriage passed by. The carriage was luxurious and exquisite, but the flower girl did not dare to look at it for fear of offending the nobleman.

When a vermilion carriage passed by, Yun Fuyi pulled the cloak on the flower girl, covering her face, turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the carriage and saluted: "Junior, I have seen Cheng Cheng Mr. Zhong.”

Just came out of the palace banquet. The arriving Justice Chengzhong was drowsy. He saw the carriage suddenly stopped and a young woman's voice sounded outside. He opened his eyes in confusion, raised the curtain and looked at the person: "I wonder who the girl is?"

Look. It looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

"Junior, my father is looking forward to returning home. I have been away from the capital for three years. Today, I see your old driver. I am very excited. I can't help but come up to pay my respects. I hope you will forgive me. Abrupt.”

Upon hearing the name Yun Fuyi, countless memories poured into Duke Chengzhong's mind with overwhelming force.

I scolded Mr. Li’s eldest son, pulled Mr. Zhang’s youngest son’s pigtails, and beat Mr. Wang’s grandson. A few dandy men and women in the capital run rampant and domineering all day long, which can be called a disaster to the capital.

Several generations of the Yun family, both men and women, old and young, have a reputation for being virtuous, but for some reason, Yun Fuyi has become such a disaster.

Remembering that the other party almost lost his life after falling off a cliff three years ago, and that he was a junior, Lord Cheng Zhong was patient and chatted with Yun Fuyi in a pleasant manner.

Seeing that Yun Fuyi was advancing and retreating in a controlled manner and speaking appropriately, Cheng Zhonggong secretly nodded in his heart. After suffering a crime, he had made a lot of progress.

Noticing that there was a girl with her face covered by a cloak sitting on the back of the horse led by Yun Fuyi, Cheng Zhonggong asked politely: "I wonder who this girl is?"

"This girl is When she was selling flowers in the street, the junior saw her grandson, Wang Yanhe, teasing her, so he took her away to prevent Wang Yanhe from ruining the reputation of your house. "What?" As he was teasing civilian girls outside, Duke Chengzhong's face darkened.

Yun Fuyi smiled and said: "Master, don't be upset. The child is disobedient. Just give him a few lessons. Don't beat him. If he is injured, it will be inconvenient to go out."

"Thank you, Miss Yun, for informing me." Duke Chengzhong was furious, please don't beat me?

Today I must break his dog legs that cause trouble whenever he goes out!

Watching the Duke Chengzhong’s carriage leave angrily, Yun Fuyi waved his hands in a good mood: “You must go slowly!”

Flower Girl: “Girl…”

“No hurry, no rush.” Yun Fuyi turned around and faced another carriage: “This junior has met Mr. Chen!”

……

The flower girl lived in the crowded South Street. After returning her to South Street, Yun Fuyi left with the gratitude of the flower girl and her family.

South Street is where civilians in the capital live. Even though it is late at night, it is still very lively. Yun Fuyi held the horse in his left hand and food in his right hand, walking slowly among the crowd.

Crossing South Street and passing by East Street, Yun Fuyi noticed that someone had taken down the lanterns hanging on the side of the road and replaced them with gorgeous red lanterns.

Some passers-by were curious: "The Lantern Festival has not yet passed, why are they replaced with red lanterns?"

"Prince Ning will be getting married three days later. Your Majesty considers him the most beloved of the late emperor. The youngest son, so I specially ordered that the road to welcome the bride be hung with red lanterns to celebrate King Ning.”

"Your Majesty is so kind to our brothers."

"Yes, your Majesty is kind, which is a blessing for us."

Looking at the two people walking around, Yun Fuyi smiled. laugh. His Majesty ascended the throne two years ago. He was already over forty when he ascended the throne. His administration was clear and honest, and he indeed had a benevolent heart for the people.

Someone accidentally dropped the lantern in his hand. The bright red lantern was blown by the wind and rolled to Yun Fuyi's feet.

She looked down at the red lantern, bent down to pick it up, and handed it to the person who came to look for the lantern.

"Thank you, girl." The visitor took the lantern and thanked Yun Fuyi.

Yun Fuyi smiled and got on the horse.

A car from Prince Ning’s Mansion passed by not far away. The guards cleared the way and the maid held a lamp, looking very noble.

Yun Fuyi sneered, patted the horse beneath him, and disappeared into the night.

The carriage in Prince Ning's Mansion stopped. Prince Ning lifted the curtain and looked into the dark alley, his ink-colored eyes flickering slightly.

"Your Majesty?" The chamberlain lowered his head and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"

The corner of his eye glanced at the red Double Happiness lanterns on the street. Prince Ning lowered his eyelids slightly: "Nothing, go back home."

Leading the horse into the stable, he quietly lay down at the door of the main courtyard with his clothes brushed and took a look. He breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed, and prepared to go back to his courtyard.

"Where to go?"

Fuyi stiffened up and turned to look under the tree in the yard. His knees softened and he almost knelt down. Then I thought that I didn't cause trouble tonight, but saved people. I straightened my legs again, squeezed in a smile and leaned over: "Dad, mother, eldest brother, you are all here."

"Tell me, you didn't go to the palace banquet tonight, so what did you do outside?" Yun Wanggui pointed to the empty seat next to the stone table.

Yun Fuyi quickly sat down on the stone bench, and took out the snacks from her arms diligently: "Mother, try it quickly."

Liu Qiongzhi picked up the snacks and tasted a piece. He smiled and said: "Is it the peach heart cake from the dim sum shop on West Street?"

" Exactly." Yun Fuyi picked up the hot drink pot on the table and poured it for his family: "On the way back to Beijing, my mother talked about the pastries from this pastry shop several times, and my daughter remembered it."
< br>Liu Qiongzhi was so coaxed by Yun Fuyi that she beamed with joy. How could she be held accountable for her late return? Yun Wanggui sighed helplessly: "I am going to the palace today to report on my duties. Your Majesty intends for me to be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Minister of the Ministry of Finance?" Fuyi picked up the hot drink and took a sip: "Daddy is so awesome, His Majesty trusts you so much."

Yun Wanggui raised the corners of his mouth, and quickly Press it down: "As a father, you can't listen to this. "How can this be flattery? It's clearly what my daughter meant." Yun Fuyi turned to look at her brother Yun Zhaobai: "Brother, are you right?"
Yun. Terushiro nodded with a smile but said nothing.

Yun Wanggui raised the corners of his mouth again, and then said in a deep voice: "The Empress will summon you tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."

"The Empress summoned me?" Fuyi said a little uncertainly: "Dad, I shouldn’t have offended His Majesty’s heirs in these years, right?”

Although she has acted more openly in these years, she has never offended the innocent. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he was not favored by the late Emperor, and even the Queen and his children were not taken seriously. Some people even tried to inflict hardship on His Majesty and his family in order to please the late Emperor's favored son.

She has always looked down on such villainous behavior. Although she had little contact with His Majesty's heirs, she had never done anything to oppress her.

Hearing what his daughter said, Yun Wanggui almost couldn't breathe. The first thing that a serious girl from a family thinks of when she hears the Queen's summons is, has she ever bullied other people's children?

"If you have offended me, go and plead guilty." Yun Wanggui said angrily: "Don't cause trouble to me outside every day."

Yun Fuyi looked at him pitifully, her eyes as bright as stars. His eyes seemed to have been greatly wronged.

Looking at his daughter's eyes, Yun Wanggui thought of three years ago again.

In order for them to escape from the assassin's siege, the daughter tried her best to lure the assassin away, and finally fell off a cliff and her life or death is unknown.

The family did not know how they survived the days when their daughter was not found. He did not believe in gods or Buddhas, but after his daughter disappeared, he worshiped gods and knelt down when he saw Buddha, just hoping that his daughter would still be alive.

"Since Your Majesty intends to reuse you as a father, you will naturally not be too harsh on you." Yun Wanggui softened his heart: "If you have really offended that Highness, I will accompany you to apologize to him."

Life was not easy for His Majesty before he ascended the throne. The Queen and he had supported each other for many years and had a deep relationship. So far, they only have one son.

Fu Yi stood up and walked to Yun Wanggui, grabbed Yun Wangui's sleeve and dangled it: "Thank you, dad, I know dad is the best to me."

" How unbecoming." Yun Wanggui scolded in a low voice, but did not take out the sleeves from Fuyi's hand.

The palace is majestic and heavily guarded, and many people are unable to even step into it throughout their lives.

For Yun Fuyi, the imperial palace was not a new place. She had often set foot here when the late emperor was in power.

The carriage stopped at Dongfeng Gate, where a servant was waiting. Seeing Yun Fuyi come out of the carriage, the smiling chamberlain hurriedly came forward to greet him: "Good morning, Miss Yun."

"How polite, father-in-law." Yun Fuyi put his arm on the chamberlain's arm and stepped out of the carriage, smiling. He said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way."

"This is my honor as a slave." The chamberlain led Fuyi Coming to the shoulder chariot: "Dongfeng Gate is far away from Zhaoyang Palace. The Queen took pity on the girl's frailty, so she gave her a shoulder chariot and asked her to get on the chariot."

Although the word "weak" is related to Fu The clothes don't matter, but she has been able to ride on the shoulder chariot when entering the palace these years, so after thanking the queen for her kindness, she sat on it safely.

Along the way, the waiters treated Fuyi very attentively, telling her who lived in which palace from time to time.

Some chamberlains who knew Fu Yi saw her sitting high on the chariot and couldn't help but sigh. This palace has changed its owner, and the noble masters who were once aloof have also lowered their heads. Only this Miss Yun, after returning to Beijing after three years, is still able to sit on a chariot and walk around the palace.

"Why is the Chenque Palace surrounded?" Fuyi looked at the Chenque Palace on the left, a little curious.

"The Chen Que Palace is now renamed the Chen Xi Palace, and was given to His Highness the Prince to live in. Because His Highness the Prince likes bamboo, His Majesty ordered people to rebuild the Chen Xi Palace. It has not yet been built, so it has been surrounded." The chamberlain recalled some past events and carefully observed Yun Fuyi's expression, waiting for her next inquiry.

Unexpectedly, Yun Fuyi just nodded and did not ask any more questions: "I see."

The chamberlain was a little surprised. Chenque Palace was once the residence of Prince Ning. Miss Yun had a good relationship with Prince Ning before leaving the capital. Now that the owner of this palace has changed, isn't Miss Yun curious?

Just as he was thinking about Prince Ning, the chamberlain looked up and saw Prince Ning walking towards him with two chamberlains. He flicked his fly whisk and bowed politely: "I have met His Royal Highness Prince Ning."

King Ning stopped and looked at the person sitting on the chariot. Today she was wearing a goose-yellow embroidered palace dress. The flower on her forehead was as bright and flamboyant in the sun as it was three years ago.

Yun Fuyi raised his eyes to look at Prince Ning, stood up and stepped off the chariot: "My maid has seen His Highness Prince Ning."

Prince Ning was silent for a moment, and wanted to reach out to help him: "Why bother? ”

"Today is different from the past." Fuyi stepped back, half-smiling but not smiling: "My lord, are you right?"

Prince Ning's expression changed slightly.

"I have to pay my respects to the Queen. If your Majesty has nothing to do, please excuse me and leave first." Fu Yi turned around and sat on the chariot, not caring that this would embarrass Prince Ning.

The chamberlain buried her head lower. Miss Yun was right. Today is different from the past. Three years ago, Prince Ning was the late emperor's most beloved son, so naturally no one dared to offend him. Now His Majesty is the lord of the world, and Prince Ning has become the defeated general.

"Fu Yi..."

"Your Majesty." Yun Fuyi raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty is the one waiting to be married, so how can he call his daughter by her first name?"

What a violation of male ethics!

"That's right." She glanced sideways at Prince Ning: "Does Your Majesty know what was the last thing I thought about when I fell off the cliff three years ago?"

The look on Prince Ning's face Pale.

“If this young lady does not die, the dog who harmed our Yun family will definitely live a worse life than death!”
