MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 73 Justification
Feng Zhan's pupils shrank, Qin Yan really opened his mouth to come.
And when Ji Nanfeng heard Qin Yan's provocative words to the prince, he immediately doubted whether it was the prince's words.
At this time, apart from Feng Zhan and Qin Yan, the only person who was out of place was Ji Nanfeng with a black face. Ji Nanfeng really felt that it was a bit redundant to stay here. He sighed softly and said:
"Master, I'll go to Lingshan first to make arrangements."
Qin Yan remained in that position, leaning back slightly, looking at Feng Zhan's darker and darker eyes.
"Yeah." Qin Yan nodded, but he didn't know whether he was responding to Ji Nanfeng or admiring Feng Zhan's excellent face.
Feng Zhanben lifted Qin Yan's eyes slightly, and glanced at Ji Nanfeng.
If Ji Nanfeng couldn't be so self-aware and seen, Feng Zhan couldn't have kept a man who was impure towards Qin Yan by her side, even if Ji Nanfeng was someone Qin Yan trusted very much, it was no exception. .
When Ji Nanfeng walked to the door of the conference hall, he paused, took a step back, stretched out his hand, and closed the door, isolating the air-conditioning from the outside, leaving only Feng Zhan and Qin Yan in the hall. The atmosphere rises ambiguous.
Feng Zhan took another step towards Qin Yan, leaned over slowly, his palms rested on the armrests of the large chair Qin Yan was sitting on, a handsome face with sharp edges and corners gradually approached Qin Yan's delicate little face with a slight smile , the thin lips stopped three inches away from Qin Yan's full red lips.
Feng Zhan's strong breath enveloped him, and the smile on Qin Yan's lips grew bigger and bigger.
People say that beauty is misleading, and the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be regarded as a country and a city.
Feng Zhan's deep eyes were fixed in Qin Yan's phoenix eyes, as if he was exploring how much the woman in front of him really had towards him.
After only a moment, Feng Zhan slowly got up again, but he stretched out his right palm and took Qin Yan's slender hand on the table, sighed lowly, and said:
"It's foggy, don't get lost."
Qin Yan raised her brows slightly, watching the Crown Prince tease her again in a serious manner, Qin Yan let her hand be grasped by Feng Zhan's dry master, and then got up with strength.
Feng Zhan squeezed Qin Yan's tender hand with satisfaction, and it felt very good. Feng Zhan instantly recalled that day in the study of the county master's mansion, Qin Yan's tender white and slender hand...
Feng Zhan immediately turned around and led Qin Yan to the hall door, covering up the suspicious blushing in his ears.
After leaving the hall, the fog outside was thicker. Five steps away, nothing could be seen, and the fleet had already stopped in the waters near the river bank due to the heavy fog, unable to move forward.
Song Zhi, who came back, had already been waiting outside the hall. Like Shen Ying, he glanced at the hands that His Royal Highness Prince and Princess Zhaoren were shaking, and he was full of murmurs in his heart.
The two masters who closed the door must have done nothing serious.
Song Zhi stepped forward and said:
"Your Highness, the arrangements have been made, and you can go."
Feng Zhan nodded, still holding Qin Yan, and the four got off the dragon boat back and forth, then boarded a small boat and went downstream.
The movement of the boatman rocking the boat was very small, and the surroundings were quiet, only the faint sound of water could be heard. The boat was in the fog, sloping down the current, and after a while, it docked on the west side about fifty feet away from the fleet, and a few people disembarked.
Feng Zhan still took Qin Yan's hand naturally and led Qin Yan forward.
There was still no sign of the fog dissipating. As the river water rose, the size of the river beach shrunk sharply.
There was a black and low-key carriage parked on the official road, and a black-clothed guard who controlled the horse got off the carriage.
"Master Song." After the dark guard handed the reins to Song Zhi, he disappeared into the fog.
Qin Yan frowned,
"Only one car?"
Feng Zhan turned his head to look at Qin Yan:
"This trip is inconvenient to attract attention, only you and my dark guard will follow."
Inconvenient to attract attention?
Qin Yan had some guesses in his mind, what is there in Yunshui Town that is worthy of the Prince's personal investigation in advance?
Qin Yan and Feng Zhan got into the car and entered the car, while Shen Ying and Song Zhi sat in front of the car.
Song Zhi drove the horse, and the carriage slowly set off in the fog, quietly away from the mighty dragon boat fleet behind.
------
At this time, it was past noon, and the autumn sun gradually broke through the clouds and scattered beams of golden light. The cloudy fog was suppressed by the warm sun, and it gradually showed signs of fading.
However, the speed of the car is still relatively slow, and the official road here is not too smooth. During the shaking, Feng Zhan grabbed the shoulders of Qin Yan who were sitting side by side, and pressed Qin Yan into his broad arms.
"Relying on Gu, you will feel more comfortable." Qin Yan could not refuse Feng Zhan's actions and words.
Feng Zhan held Qin Yan's left shoulder with one hand, stretched out the other hand in front of Qin Yan's body, took Qin Yan's tender hand on his knee, and kneaded gently between his big palms.
And Qin Yan was also moved by the man beside her, her head rubbed between Feng Zhan's neck, adjusted to a comfortable posture, and closed her eyes to rest.
An hour later, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and the carriage stopped in an open space near the water.
"Go down to rest?" Feng Zhan asked the woman who was still squinting in his arms.
Qin Yan slowly got up and opened his eyes, there was still a little mist of water in his eyes.
Qin Yanxiu frowned slightly, getting along with Feng Zhan, she became more and more unprepared, and it seemed that trusting him had become a natural habit. But is this person by your side really worth your heart?
Feng Zhan looked at Qin Yan who just got up from his arms and looked a little confused, but his eyes darkened and his throat rolled slightly. Qin Yan is really testing Feng Zhan's self-confidence and self-control anytime, anywhere.
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan got off the car. The narrow river in front of them at the moment was a branch that was about to merge into the canal. At this time, there was still mist on the river, but compared to before, the distance of seeing objects was a little farther.
Qin Yan and Feng Zhan walked slowly towards the river bank. The water in front of him was turbid due to the upstream water. There were many driftwood and bamboo trees floating on the river, and occasionally there were some dead animals.
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan both frowned slightly. I don't know how many people will be destroyed by this flood.
Not long after, in the mist like a veil in the distance, a small Wu Peng boat actually swayed, and the woman's soothing fishing song also came from the direction of the fishing boat.
Qin Yan was a little surprised in her heart, but soon understood again.
At this time, the river water was soaring and the current was turbulent. The fishermen should not have gone out to transport or fish, but the people at the bottom were living hard. How many people did not get their lives in exchange for their survival. chance to live.
On the river where the boats were running endlessly, due to the water pressure and heavy fog, the fishermen with a little family will stop their boats. The couple on this boat should be forced by life and have to go out to make a living in this weather.
The boat was sailing from the center of the river to the bank, and the waves were still slightly soft, and the boat had not yet shown a tendency to capsize. As the fog drifted away due to the wind, Feng Zhan and Qin Yan gradually saw the scene on the fishing boat.
A tan and thin man was closing in on the net, but it was obvious that he had found nothing. And with a simple smile on his face, he teased a pair of young children in the bow of the boat. The two young children and young girls were made to giggle and laugh at the man, but upon closer inspection, the two children were tied by ropes around their waists. , tethered to the side of the boat.
Qin Yan sighed in her heart, she walked around all year round, how could she not know, that is the usual practice of boat families.
The boat people live a hard life, wandering in the four seas, and the whole family is supported by one pole and one scull. Their young children also grew up on boats and were tethered to the boat with ropes in case they accidentally fell overboard. 【1】
A sarcastic smile appeared on Qin Yan's lips. It is so difficult for the people at the bottom to survive. How much can he understand about this noble prince, the current prince, and the future emperor?
Qin Yan's eyes were still fixed on the fishing boat that was going down the river, and the sound of fishing songs passed by them and gradually faded away.
Qin Yan spoke softly:
"His Royal Highness, did you notice the legs of that fisherman couple?"
Feng Zhan's eyes were still not taken back, until the fishing boat disappeared into the mist again, and the fisherman's song gradually became silent.
Feng Zhan turned his head and looked at Qin Yan with a deep voice.
"These boat people have used boats as their homes for generations. Because of the low cabin canopy, they cannot walk upright and mainly sit cross-legged all year round. Therefore, most boat people have their legs not straight, which is different from ordinary people. Is this what you said?" [2 】
Qin Yan smiled lightly. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who was sitting high in the temple, knew so much about the habits of these boatmen who came from the folk.
Qin Yan sighed again, the prince of Daxia, Feng Zhan, if he would be the future emperor, it would indeed be a blessing for Daxia and the people of Daxia.
------
Yunshui Town is an important town in Yangzhou. It is only a one-day drive from Yangzhou. As the only place where the waterway between Shangjing and Yangzhou must pass, Yunshui Town has countless merchants and rare goods. It is also the place between Yangzhou and Shangjing. The first stop of the waterway, although only a small town, should be lively and prosperous.
The fame of Yunshui Town is due to the Lingshan Mountain not far from the town.
Lingshan is a famous mountain in Yangzhou. It is most famous for the hot spring soup pool on the mountain.
Yangzhou is already prosperous. There are hundreds of rich businessmen, and the more wealthy people are, the more they value longevity. Therefore, many wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou circled into the hot springs in the mountains to build villas. From time to time, they would invite three or five friends to come over to make a fragrant soup, which is really moisturizing.
Feng Zhan knew the customs and even anecdotes of various places, so when Shen Ying pointed the way and drove the carriage up the mountain road, Feng Zhan knew what Qin Yan was doing in Lingshan.
The carriage went up the mountain road all the way, and passed through a number of side roads, all of which were villages built by some wealthy merchants on the mountainside. And their carriage did not stop at the gate of a villa until they reached the top of the mountain.
The villa was heavily guarded, and Ji Nanfeng, who came first, was already waiting outside the gate.
Feng Zhan and Qin Yan got off the car one after another, and Ji Nanfeng came over and saluted the two masters respectively.
"His Royal Highness, Master."
At this time, it was dusk, and the night fog in the mountains rose, and the surrounding dense forest was enveloped in a layer of mystery.
Feng Zhan looked up at the gate of the villa, but there was no inscription on the gate.
Qin Yan patted the slightly wrinkled hem, followed Feng Zhan's line of sight, and then smiled.
"His Royal Highness, this villa is called 'Weiming Village'."
Shen Ying, who was beside the carriage, rolled her eyes in her heart, it was obvious that the master was too lazy to name her.
Feng Zhan seemed to understand it in his heart, Qin Yan was used to it casually, and nonsense was a common occurrence.
"Yu Qingfeng's? Or, yours?" Feng Zhan looked sideways at Qin Yan, but the answer seemed obvious.
"Yeah." Qin Yan stepped into Zhuangzi, just took two steps, suddenly stopped, and looked at Feng Zhan beside him with a half-smile.
"If Your Highness makes me satisfied, this Zhuangzi belongs to His Highness."
Feng Zhan looked at the bewitched woman beside him, his eyes darkened, this woman really never forgot the idea of hitting his body.
Ji Nanfeng, who had already walked to the front, almost stumbled when he heard the words. Their master, his words became more and more outrageous...
Shen Ying...Fortunately, Uncle Huai is not here, otherwise, I should have said that I didn't take good care of the master for Madam...
Song Zhi...how does he think that Zhaoren County Master is acting like he is throwing money at the rich man of their Royal Highness...
------
Weimingzhuang encircles the entire top of the main peak of Lingshan Mountain.
Song Zhi refreshed his understanding of Zhaoren County Master again. It seems that what the County Master just said did not detract from the worth of His Royal Highness.
Ji Nanfeng had already ordered people to prepare a sumptuous dinner, but Ji Nanfeng insisted on reducing dryness in autumn, so the dishes were mainly Huaiyang cuisine, which was light.
After dinner, Ji Nanfeng ordered someone to fetch the famous cold spring water on Lingshan Mountain and make a pot of Dahongpao for the two masters.
Whether it is spring water, tea ceremony, or tea, Ji Nanfeng has made it to the extreme, fully demonstrating the hospitality of Weiming Villa.
After drinking tea, Ji Nanfeng said to the prince:
"His Royal Highness's courtyard is ready. There is an independent natural soup pool in the courtyard, and His Royal Highness can soak in the soup to relieve fatigue."
Feng Zhan looked at Qin Yan, Qin Yan smiled,
"Your Highness, please do it yourself."
Qin Yan got up and left.
Feng Zhan's eyes were always fixed on the slender figure that Qin Yan left, until Qin Yan's back disappeared outside the door, and Feng Zhan supported his forehead.
He knew what Qin Yan wanted, and if he didn't give it to her for a long time, the woman would be temperamental, and then he still had to find a reason to tie her to his side.
No matter how difficult government affairs Feng Zhan encounters, it is not as troublesome as Qin Yan.
-------
An hour after dinner, Qin Yan drank a cup of flower and fruit tea brought by Ji Nanfeng, then stepped into the warm pavilion in his yard, took off his robe, put on a light gauze, stepped out of the warm pavilion, went to by a natural spring.
This spring is the largest spring encircled by Weimingzhuang. The spring water is abundant all year round and the water temperature is moderate. It is surrounded by green bamboos, and the water vapor in the pool is like a fairyland.
Qin Yanying's white jade feet tried to enter the water shallowly, feeling the water temperature was comfortable and pleasant, Qin Yan slowly stepped into the misty soup pool, and at the deepest point, the water surface just covered Qin Yan's shiny shoulders.
Qin Yan continued to move forward, walked to a pond wall, put his arms on the edge of the pond, leaned forward, leaned his head on his arms, closed his eyes, relaxed his legs, and let his lower body float slightly naturally. He relaxed the exhaustion of his limbs and bones, his hair like a waterfall, and the tulle on Qin Yan's body floated like algae in the slowly flowing shallow water.
When Feng Zhan arrived at the pool, through the mist, what he saw was a stunning beauty caged in the mysterious silver moonlight.
"His Royal Highness." Shen Ying walked to the side of the prince.
Feng Zhan raised his hand and motioned for Shen Ying to step back.
Shen Ying…
Shen Ying turned to look at the pool, the master can definitely hear the movement here, but the master didn't speak, then...
Shen Ying bowed and stepped back, sighing in her heart, these two...
-------
Qin Yan was still lying on the edge of the pool and relaxed her body comfortably. The voice of Shen Ying behind her came to her ears clearly, and Qin Yan hooked her lips.
After a while, Qin Yan heard the sound of water from walking behind him, and gradually approached.
After a short while, a strong and familiar breath enveloped Qin Yan, Qin Yan's back waist touched a pair of big palms, a sturdy body, clinging to Qin Yan's graceful body, pressed her against the wall of the pool.
Feng Zhan's three-dimensional handsome face leaned back to Qin Yan's profile, and sprayed the side of Qin Yan's neck with the intoxicating hot breath. Qin Yan moved his body, but was caught by the big palm of the person behind him. in front of him.
Feng Zhan pinched Qin Yan's slender waist, making Qin Yan turn to face him, and Feng Zhan's thin lips pressed against the beauty in front of him...
-------
In the warm pavilion next to the hot spring, fragrant mist lingers in the smoker.
The men's wet moon-white t-shirts and the women's thin gauze skirts were scattered beside the soft collapse in the pavilion.
Feng Zhan looked at the woman with winking eyes under him, and said dumbly:
"Qin Yan, give Gu a name."
Qin Yan frowned, seemingly dissatisfied...
Feng Zhan didn't wait for the answer he wanted, his face darkened slightly, and he bit Qin Yan's red lips...
The voices in the cabinet were intermittently transmitted to the outside world.
Song Zhi outside the Warm Pavilion...
It's not worth his search for so many reading books for His Highness, I really hope His Highness can marry the Crown Princess as soon as possible...
