C311 New Year's Eve

After riding on horseback for an entire night, the dark guard finally arrived at the inn at the border at dusk of the second day. After a long discussion, he finally decided that after resting for the night, he would set out for the Redflame Kingdom early in the morning. If everything went well, he would reach the Redflame Kingdom Royal City by noon on the second day.

He Qianxun went downstairs and walked towards the shopkeeper. He took out a silver ingot and told the storekeeper: "Today is New Year's Eve, I would like to invite the storekeeper to make some good wine and dishes and deliver them to the guest room upstairs. Thank you." The shopkeeper took the silver ingot, his smile blossoming as he nodded his head towards He Qianxun in agreement. Just as He Qianxun went upstairs, the innkeeper told the waiter and the chef in the backyard to get busy.

Not long after, the waiter carried a plate of piping hot food upstairs. Feng Yunchen, He Qianxun and the other secret guards all started to eat happily. Of course, there was naturally a lot of wine. To them, not being able to reunite with their families on New Year's Eve was naturally a bit of a pity.

All of this was very boring for Feng Jiutian. Normally, the banquets in the palace would be to admire the dancers in the palace, or to take advantage of the opportunity to get pampered by the imperial concubines in front of his royal father, Feng Yunhe. Regarding this, Feng Jiutian was already tired of watching this, and at the moment, he only wanted to go outside to take a breather.

"Imperial Father, your son is a little drunk. I wish to take a walk in the imperial garden and wake up from my drunken stupor." Feng Jiutian said with a smile. Hearing his son say that, Feng Yunhe looked towards Feng Jiutian. He knew his son very well, with just that little alcohol, how could he get drunk? He must have felt that the banquet was too boring and wanted to take the chance to slip away. Fine, let him go outside to get some fresh air.

"My son is too drunk today. It's good for him to go out for a walk and have the guards follow him." After Feng Yunhe finished speaking, he raised her wine bottle and toasted the imperial concubines. She will get drunk with you alone in the future, yet today, she had to deal with the dozens of concubines in the harem. She originally thought that she could forget about everything for a while, but in the end, she could not, and could not.

In the Duke Palace, He Mengyao and her three daughters were sitting in a room together eating New Year's Eve dinner, but the delicious food on the table couldn't make He Mengyao happy. Xia mama ordered the kitchen to bring steaming hot dumplings, and in the Fengling's customs, New Year's Eve dinner was naturally filled with dumplings, which looked extremely similar to Jin Yuanbao.

Everyone started to happily eat the delicious dumplings, but when He Mengyao thought of Feng Yunchen, no matter what, she could not eat. After all these years, every New Year's Eve was always accompanied by Feng Yunchen by her side, and this year, without Feng Yunchen's company, it didn't feel like it was New Year's Day at all.

"Princess, please eat some dumplings. This is your favorite food." When He Mengyao saw how considerate and sensible Feng Wu was, she took up the silver chopsticks in front of him and put the dumpling into her mouth. As her cherry lips slightly opened, she suddenly remembered that at this time in the past, Feng Yunchen would personally feed her the dumpling, causing him to feel a sense of warmth in her heart.

Although Yun Chen was not around right now, Feng Wu and Feng Xue were by her side, along with Elder Sister Qianyao's daughter, Feng Yu. Looking at the happy children in front of her, a rare smile appeared on He Mengyao's face.

After they finished eating New Year's Eve dinner, Feng Xue suggested that they put out some fireworks. Xia mama, Butler Kang and the rest of the mansion's servants carried a large amount of fireworks over, the servants were all overjoyed. Everyone surrounded the Duke's Mansion's courtyard, waiting to admire the beautiful fireworks.

Housekeeper Kang first lit the firecrackers, and instantly, crackling sounds came from the Duke Palaces. Everyone hurriedly covered their ears, and those who were braver also went up and lit them. Feng Wu and Feng Xue had long since been unable to hold back any longer, and after releasing the firecrackers for a long time, Feng Wu and Feng Xue came up one after another, igniting the fireworks everyone was waiting for.

At this moment, seeing the colorful fireworks that were blooming in the sky, he felt an indescribable feeling of happiness. Seeing Feng Yu's excited expression, He Mengyao proposed for Feng Yu to go forward and personally light a firework.

"Third Princess, go quickly." Just like that, Feng Yu stood in the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion. Under the night sky, Feng Yu carefully lit the fireworks, watching the beautiful fireworks bloom in the sky. Under the night sky, Feng Yu's smile was even more brilliant than fireworks.

Only then did the firecrackers and fireworks disperse. They returned to their rooms to keep watch over the year, and Xia mama arranged for the new clothes to be delivered to the three princesses' rooms.

Feng Yu took the clothes from Li mama's hands and said with a smile, "Grandma, these clothes are indeed pretty, but they're a bit too gorgeous." Feng Yu raised her head and looked towards Li mama after he finished speaking. The Li mama had originally said that they would be guarding the New Year tonight. Although Feng Yu didn't know why he had to do this, Feng Yu guessed that he would have to wait until very late before he could sleep.

"The Third Miss is a princess, so her status is naturally honorable. Only this kind of clothes are worthy of you, Third Miss." At first, Feng Yu wanted to chat more with him, but seeing her like this, she could only lie on the bed and stare blankly at the roof.

After a long while, when Feng Yu looked at Li mama again, Li mama was already asleep on her bed. Feng Yu thought to herself that it was really funny, just a moment ago Li mama seriously told her to guard the new year, but he didn't expect that she would be the first one to fall asleep. After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Feng Yu also felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. In the end, she really couldn't hold on any longer, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep. As for guarding the year, it had long been forgotten.

When Li mama accompanied her to He Mengyao's room, He Mengyao had already woken up. She had instructed Xia mama and Steward Kang to give all the servants in the mansion money early in the morning, and he was even more overjoyed when he saw Feng Yu coming over. He thought that the first person to come into her room would be Feng Wu, but he never expected that it would actually be Feng Yu.

"Feng Yu greets mother. I wish mother peace and fortune, youth and eternal life." As the Li mama listened to Feng Yu's auspicious words, she was also extremely shocked, and He Mengyao normally heard most of it being about blessings and peace, blessings and such. Suddenly, she heard Feng Yu's respectful wishes for her youth and eternity, and was immediately overjoyed, as she gave the jade bracelet in her hand to Feng Yu.

When they were getting married, Yun Hui personally brought the bracelet to her two daughters. He Mengyao originally wanted to give it to Feng Wu, but when she saw Feng Yu and remembered her elder sister Qianyao, she decided to give the jade bracelet to Feng Yu.

As a wangfei, even in her dreams He Mengyao wanted her appearance to stay forever. Feng Yu's auspicious words had reached her heart, and regardless of whether she was truly young or young, she would just treat it as borrowing Feng Yu's auspicious words.

Not long after, Feng Wu and Feng Xue arrived as well, and the two sisters gave their new year's worth of blessings and good fortune to their mother. He Mengyao walked to her room, and took out the two pairs of chicken blood jade bracelets that Feng Yunchen and Feng Wu had requested for the artisans to forge together, and gave it to them. She originally wanted to give it to them when they got married, but now that she gave the phoenix feather jade bracelet to them, she naturally wanted to give it to Feng Wu and Feng Xue.

When Feng Xue saw He Mengyao give the jade bracelet that she usually liked the most to Feng Yu, she was extremely unhappy at the moment but she did not show it on the surface. Feng Xue knew that the jade bracelet was something that her mother married into.

Feng Wu knew that her father and mother had not really cared about Feng Yu over the years. Now that Feng Yu's body was already well, and since Feng Yu was the youngest child of the family, it was only natural for her mother to love him a little more. As an elder sister, she would not argue about this.

For Feng Wu and Feng Xue who had grown up in the Duke Palaces, although the New Year was fun, every year, it would always be the same. The only thing that was worth looking forward to was being a year old, and then being able to get out of control early and go see the outside world.

However, as a daughter of the King's Palace, with such rules, most of the time, she would not be like the girls from ordinary families in Fengling, or like the children of the martial arts world, who did not have many ties, able to freely and unrestrainedly chase after their dreams and lives.

Feng Yunchen and He Qianxun, who were thousands of miles away from the Fengling, were currently riding on horses and entered the Redflame Kingdom's borders without stopping. They only wanted to reach the Redflame Kingdom quickly and find He Qianyao as soon as possible.

The news of the arrival of the Fengling's Prince Feng Yunchen within a few days had long ago become known to everyone within the Redflame Kingdom. Even the Blue Spirit Kingdom who was constantly moving along the borders had received the news.

Inside the Blue Spirit Kingdom's Imperial Palace, Queen Lan Wushuang sat in the main hall and looked at the two Death Soldiers, Fen Shuang and Yue Guang with a gaze filled with suspicion. If what the two of them said was true, then she definitely could not miss out on such a good opportunity. She had long heard that the Fengling Emperor Feng Yunhe's little brother Feng Yunchen was an elegant and unrestrained man, but ever since she had married the princess, she had only doted on her.

"In reply to Your Majesty, the words of Guan Yue and Xi Hua are true. I hope Your Majesty can make up her mind soon." The two of them knelt on the ground and begged.

"Don't worry, today I, Lan Wushuang, will definitely invite Feng Yunchen into this Blue Spirit Kingdom, I really want to see what Feng Yunhe will think if she knows that my Lan Wushuang has invited his only blood brother here." Lan Wushuang laughed crazily after she finished her sentence.

With that thought in mind, Lan Wushuang ordered Guan Yue and Xi Hua to bring their men to stop Feng Yunchen from reaching Redflame Kingdom. After watching Guan Yue and Xi Hua leave, Lan Wushuang returned to her room and took out the jade pendant she was wearing and started to examine it carefully.

This jade pendant was given to her by Feng Yunhe twenty years ago, and was worn on her chest everyday. Even when Feng Yunhe married He Qianyao, she was sad and she didn't take it off.

They had originally thought that Feng Yunhe and He Qianyao would become a couple and that they would stay together for life. They hadn't thought that they would suddenly hear that Fengling's Queen He Qianyao had gone missing for only three or four years.
