Xiao Chengyou was silent, his eyes dim and unclear. After a moment, he still responded, "My grandson will follow my grandmother's teachings."

The old lady said "hmm", looking dubious.

Seeing this, Fu Ling hurriedly put a piece of peach blossom cake into Xiao Chengyou's bowl, looked at him with a smile, as if the two of them were very intimate, "This peach blossom cake is well made, please try it, husband?"

Xiao Chengyou thought for a moment, then lowered his head and took a bite under everyone's gaze. The sweet taste of peach blossoms instantly overflowed between his lips and teeth, while Fu Ling tilted her head slightly to look at him.

There was a slight smile on her lips, two sweet pear dimples appeared on her soft white cheeks, and the slightly curved corners of her eyes were like the newly bloomed crescent moons. He couldn't help but imagine how such delicate eyes were filled with hazy water last night. If the candle light is on, you may still be able to see a hint of attractive crimson.

Xiao Chengyou unknowingly swallowed the whole peach blossom. He was a little uncomfortable with this bright sweetness, as if a bright light had suddenly been added to the dark background of his life, which was dazzling and harsh.

On the other side of the table, Shen Hui watched the interaction between the two of them, his eyebrows tightened, and the food he chewed in his mouth seemed to have lost its taste.

Although he was a concubine, his mother was in charge of the general's palace, and her power should not be underestimated. He had been walking around the capital since he was a child, and he had never seen any kind of beauty.

He thought that all the beautiful people were included in his room, but he didn't expect that when he saw Fu Ling, all his soul and six orifices would be attracted away. He suddenly felt that in front of this angelic appearance, all the people in his room were... Those women were so boring and boring, and a strong feeling of anger surged into my heart.

He, the eldest brother, only had the title of heir apparent, but when he returned to the capital, he picked up such a beautiful wife for nothing. What's even more outrageous was that he looked cold and frosty, and didn't know how to cherish beauty at all.

Shen Hui was used to acting recklessly. Thinking of this, he immediately came up with a plan.

When no one was paying attention, Shen Hui deliberately dropped his chopsticks on the ground while picking up vegetables, and then leaned over to pick them up.

The space under the table was neither big nor small. He slipped in like a fish and saw Fu Ling's pair of pink embroidered shoes, which were placed together neatly. The sides of the shoes were engraved with exquisite white magnolia petals, as if As if it was about to fly into his heart and scratch his itch, Shen Hui couldn't bear his thoughts and immediately reached out his hand and touched the toe of Fu Ling's shoe hard.

"Ah!" Fu Ling didn't expect it at all and was startled. Even though he quickly recovered and endured, the short scream still fell into everyone's ears.

"You are not allowed to behave inappropriately during the banquet!" The old lady was dissatisfied with Fu Ling and immediately scolded her.

"It's... I've lost my composure." Fu Ling quickly realized that it was Shen Hui who did the evil, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only secretly bear the grudge and lower his head to hide the redness in his eyes.

Xiao Chengyou's eyebrows were a little colder, and he lowered his head to look at the bottom of the table. Before Shen Hui's hand could be fully retracted, his heart condensed, and he immediately stepped on his fat hand.

Severe pain hit, and Shen Hui couldn't help but screamed "Ahhhhhhhh".

He had never felt the feeling of being bullied like this. He raised his head and yelled, "Why should you step on me?"

Xiao Chengyou just looked at him indifferently, as if Shen Hui's intense emotions could not stir up any waves. Shen Hui also felt his disregard, and couldn't help but get even more angry, saying indiscriminately, "It doesn't matter that you are the prince, here I am the boss in the house!"

As soon as these words came out, even Chen Yuxiao's expression froze. After a while, Xiao Chengyou raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah?"

Before Shen Hui could say anything, he was frightened by the cold and solemn tone for a moment.

Xiao Chengyou's kick was so hard that the back of his hand turned red quickly, like a big bulging bun.

When the old lady saw this, she probably guessed that it was because Shen Hui was coveting Fu Ling's beauty. However, one was the concubine whom she had loved since childhood, and the other was her daughter-in-law who was of a humble background. Naturally, her heart was towards Shen Hui, but After all, she didn't want to see her grandchildren quarreling, so she coughed lightly.

Shen Hui was a little afraid of Xiao Chengyou and did not dare to reply. He hugged the back of his hand and kept blowing air. It hurt so much that tears flowed out. Chen Yuxiao looked heartbroken. Knowing that the old lady was partial to Shen Hui, he became brave again and turned to Fu Ling said:

"As the Crown Princess, the most important thing is to improve your moral character. Don't dress up too much and look showy and artificial."

Fu Ling had a lump in her throat. Except for the day she returned home, she had never dressed up in an ostentatious manner. Shen Hui made a mistake, but it was her fault, and her depressed mood became more and more intense. But the old lady didn't let her make the decision, so she couldn't afford to offend Shen Hui, so she had to bear the grievance.

"Instead of blaming the imperial concubine, Aunt Chen should take good care of her son." However, the next moment, Xiao Chengyou mercilessly questioned Chen Yuxiao, "My mother was originally in charge of the palace, but now I have a wife. Aunt Chen, it’s better to let go earlier.”

Fu Ling didn't expect that he would speak for herself, so she couldn't help being a little surprised. She turned her head and saw Xiao Chengyou's stern eyebrows adding a layer of ferocity. That layer of proud appearance seemed to be torn open in an instant, and blood flowed all over his body. The surging aggression is like a beast guarding its food, which is frightening.

Chen Yuxiao's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head hurriedly and said, "I have worked hard for the General's Palace these years without any merit! I won't treat the prince badly, so why be so aggressive."

She knew that it would be difficult for her to control her power after Fu Ling's arrival, so she was planning to take advantage of these days to conspire with Butler Zhang to transfer more property into her pocket, and she did not want Fu Ling to interfere at all.

Shen Hui was applying medicine and started shouting again. The family dinner soon ended in a bad mood.

When Fu Ling returned to Wenyun Hall, his face was still pale, and he immediately ordered his servants to prepare water for bathing.

Shen Hui's dirty look was like a fly that could not be driven away, lingering in her mind. She couldn't help but quicken her pace, as if trying to get rid of the traces of his touch.

After a good wash and freshening up, she finally came to her senses.

"The pear blossoms in the yard are blooming. Madam, why don't you go and relax?" Xiang Lan was feeling a little depressed after going through all that just now.

There was a swing wrapped with wisteria in the yard. Fu Ling sat on it and took a short nap. He looked up at the dense flowers on the swing and suddenly saw an inconspicuous bird with a letter tied to its feet flying over his head.

She frowned slightly, staring blankly at the clear blue sky after the birds flew past. After a while, she suddenly exclaimed "Ah" as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Madam, are you looking at that bird?" Xiang Lan also looked over after hearing the sound, watching the bird finally enter the direction of Xiao Chengyou's study, and then said, "On the day of Madam's wedding, when the slave was counting the items, she accidentally saw that the crown prince His Highness let it fly away, and now... it's back? "

Fu Ling was startled.

She calculated the travel time and found that such a long journey was enough to go back and forth to the border.

But the general's family letters would be sent to the frontier from time to time, so why would he use this method to communicate privately?

Xiang Lan seemed to have guessed Fu Ling's thoughts and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness is not concerned about others when he is in contact with the frontier, right?"
