Chapter 298 Southern Dynasty
Southern Dynasty, royal capital.
The marriage procession arrived at the royal capital in a grand manner.
The one who came to greet Fu Jinyi and Princess Yongning was Fu Yuxuan.
Fu Yuxuan and Fu Jinyi have similar eyes, but he is taller and more upright. He is wearing a royal blue brocade robe and a black cloak. Standing in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he looks very noble.
This person is the Southern Dynasty Emperor's favorite son. He has been brought up and taught since childhood, but he is very cold to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The person that Emperor Fu and He Zhiyuan wanted to support was Fu Yuxuan, the current eldest prince of the Southern Dynasty.
Lu Yuan only took a glance and was met with the other party's inquiring, scrutinizing and fearful eyes.
"Royal brother, it's really hard for you to come and greet me in person." Fu Jinyi rode his horse to Fu Yuxuan and looked down at him.
So what if he is favored by Emperor Fu? In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Fu Yuxuan is inferior to him.
Fu Yuxuan slowly withdrew his gaze from Lu Yuan.
He raised his eyes and looked at Fu Jinyi.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite." Fu Jinyi raised the corner of his mouth high.
He turned around and whispered to Lu Yuan, "Brother, this is also a prince of the Southern Dynasty, born to Concubine Liu."
"He was the eldest prince before, but he may not be the eldest son in the future."
Although his voice was low, Fu Yuxuan could hear it besides Lu Yuan.
Fu Yuxuan's eyes turned cold, but he remained calm.
But the officials behind him couldn't control the expressions on their faces.
Especially when seeing Lu Yuan's face.
Those who are a little older just feel like they are seeing the emperor when he was young.
"Crown Prince, my father has already held a banquet to welcome you and the eldest prince of Yong Dynasty and others, and sent me to welcome the distinguished guests from Yong Dynasty into the palace." Fu Yuxuan looked at the eldest prince with a smile.
The eldest prince Feng Chuanjin smiled faintly, "Please."
Having experienced many inexplicable assassinations along the way, if Feng Chuanjin doesn't notice some clues, it would be a waste of his being a prince.
In particular, the relationship between Fu Jinyi and Lu Yuan is obviously not an ordinary one.
Now that he saw Fu Yuxuan and thought about Lu Yuan's life experience, he was certain of his previous guess.
Feng Chuanjin looked at Lu Yuan deeply.
"Brother, let's go." Fu Jinyi said with a smile.
Fu Yuxuan paused as he mounted his horse, and gave Fu Jinyi a mysterious look in his eyes.
It was the first time that the common people saw the procession of the princess who was to be married off to another country, and they all flocked to the sides of the street, curious to see this rare spectacle.
"I heard that our Crown Prince personally went to Yong Dynasty to apologize to the Yong Dynasty on behalf of Prime Minister He's nephew."
"Didn't they say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not feeling well? How could he still go to Yong Dynasty?"
"What's wrong with me? The one riding the white horse in the front is our prince. Doesn't he look like a banished immortal?"
"Long live the prince."
"Long live the prince."
I didn't know who was leading the crowd, but everyone was cheering.
Fu Jinyi seldom left the palace because of his heart disease. This was the first time he appeared in front of the people so openly.
"Is the man behind your highness the prince of Yong Dynasty?"
"Do you think the one on the left looks a bit like the Crown Prince?"
"I heard that the Crown Prince has an older brother..."
"Shh!"
The faint discussions were soon drowned out by cheers.
Fu Jinyi came close to Lu Yuan and said, "Brother, look, being good-looking really has its advantages. The people like me very much."
Lu Yuan curled his lips. His posture was calm, but his eyes looked around vigilantly.
Having encountered too many assassinations along the way, he did not think he would be safe once he entered the royal capital.
"With him here, he will protect us even if there are assassins."
Fu Yuxuan, who was walking in front, gritted his teeth.
The guards who came with Princess Yongning's dowry were not allowed to be brought into the palace, and other envoys were sent to place them elsewhere.
Arrive outside the palace gate.
I saw a familiar figure from afar.
"Uncle!" Fu Jinyi had sharp eyes and immediately recognized that it was Ruan Xinglin.
"Brother, it's my uncle."
Fu Yuxuan finally couldn't help it, "Prince, you are of noble status, please don't recognize relatives casually."
"Are you anxious, brother?" Fu Jinyi asked with a smile.
It would be one thing if Lu Yuan refused to return to the Southern Dynasty, but since he has returned, he naturally has to take back his identity.
What belongs to Lu Yuan belongs to Lu Yuan. Whether Lu Yuan wants it or not is another matter.
Lu Yuan got off his horse and bowed to Ruan Xinglin, "Uncle."
When they heard Lu Yuan's voice, not only Fu Yuxuan but also Feng Chuanjin changed their expressions.
"The Emperor and the Empress have already prepared a banquet for you in the Golden Palace." Ruan Xinglin felt warm in his heart.
He knew that as long as Lu Yuan saw Fu Jinyi, he would definitely soften his heart.
"The eldest prince." Ruan Xinglin bowed.
Fu Yuxuan was about to reply when he found that Ruan Xinglin was talking to Feng Chuanjin.
"Prince, please."
"Prime Minister Ruan, Princess Yongning must have been exhausted from the long journey. Can you let her rest for a while?" Feng Chuanjin asked.
Ruan Xinglin nodded, "Her Majesty has already prepared the palace, Princess Yongning, please go in and rest first."
Yongning, sitting in the carriage, had an indifferent expression. She had no objection to the arrangements made for her.
Since she couldn't even decide her future life, everything else was meaningless to her.
"Brother, let's go." Fu Jinyi said to Lu Yuan.
He was determined to walk into the Golden Palace side by side with Lu Yuan.
"Ahem, Crown Prince, please go first." Ruan Xinglin coughed lightly.
Feng Chuanjin is the eldest prince of the Yong Dynasty, and it is really inappropriate for the prince to walk in front with Lu Yuan.
At least it's not suitable for today's occasion.
"The relationship between the Crown Prince and Lu Yuan is closer than that between ordinary brothers." Feng Chuanjin smiled meaningfully.
In the Jinluan Palace.
Except for Emperor Fu and Empress Ruan, all ministers above the third rank in the court are here.
Emperor Fu was reluctant to hold this banquet today as he did not want Lu Yuan's identity to be known to the court officials too quickly.
Originally, He Zhiyuan could have helped him.
He happened to be seriously injured at this time.
"The Queen must have been preparing for today for a long time." Emperor Fu asked with a sneer in his voice.
Queen Ruan was wearing a bright yellow gown embroidered with a pattern of phoenixes and phoenixes in gold and silver thread, which made her look dignified, bright, noble and elegant.
She curled her lips and smiled lightly, "Yes, I learned all this from the emperor."
"..." A cold laugh emanated from Emperor Fu's throat.
"You are so sure that Yong Chao's kid is your son, aren't you afraid of admitting your mistake?"
Queen Ruan: "When he was born, Your Majesty held him in your hands. Your Majesty should be able to recognize your own son."
Before Emperor Fu could speak, Empress Ruan mocked, "Your Majesty wouldn't be so clumsy as to make up another story about the bastard child of me and He Zhiyuan, right?"
"He Zhiyuan has been wanting to kill my entire clan these years. I sometimes wonder if he hasn't married yet because of Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Fu became furious and coughed violently.
"Nonsense! What nonsense are you talking about!" He suddenly raised his voice, scaring the ministers below.
Has the relationship between the emperor and the empress become so bad?
They started a quarrel in the throne room?
"The envoy from the Yong Dynasty has arrived." The singing voice came from outside the hall.
