After a while, Gu Yanfei withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes halfway, and reminded him: "Remember to keep that amulet well."

"..." Feng Yang subconsciously stroked the amulet hidden in his sleeve pocket with his fingertips.

This was given to her by Gu Yanfei on the day of the flounder banquet.

Wei Jiaoniang looked back and forth between Fengyang and Gu Yanfei, and felt that what they said was too mysterious, did she really understand it?

Feng Yang was about to ask Xiao Er to bring them another pot of tea, when a woman suddenly yelled impatiently not far away: "Let's go! We don't want to listen to any ditties."

"I'm sorry to bother you." The little girl who turned her back to Fengyang and the others repeatedly bowed and apologized, cowardly, so thin that a gust of wind could blow her away.

It was a pretty girl of twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a blue skirt that had been washed white, and holding an old erhu in her hand.

Feng Yang temporarily changed his words: "Xiaoer, call this little girl to sing a little song for me."

Xiaoer was obedient, and quickly called the little girl holding the erhu over.

Fengyang asked the little girl to sing a few cheerful little songs to them.

After a while, there was a melodious sound of erhu mixed with the singing of a girl like an oriole, and a song "Suo Nanzhi" was sung melodiously, which attracted some passers-by to stop, and some people simply went into the tea shop to drink tea and listen to it by the way. a ditty.

Feng Yang looked at the singing girl, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was looking at her, and also seemed to be looking at an old friend through her.

This sentimental emotion only lasted half a song, and soon dissipated.

After the little girl sang four or five ditties in a row, the hidden guard from the Princess Mansion rode back.

Fengyang threw a piece of silver to the little girl, and the little girl left gratefully.

Her little song was really good, Feng Yang just dismissed her, and the guests at another table called her over.

After the young hidden guard got off his horse, he walked quickly to Feng Yang's side.

Feng Yang made a gesture, motioning him to sit down and talk, after all, it is too eye-catching for him to stand here like a pillar.

The dark guard sat down on the opposite side of Fengyang with a little restraint, his posture was straight and upright, and the restraint in his voice could not be concealed. The first sentence was:

"Xu Yan has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and will be interrogated by the three divisions."

"Wow!" Wei Jiaoniang opened her small mouth slightly in amazement, and looked at Fengyang with burning eyes, "Did you already know?"

Fengyang smiled and sighed: "Your grandfather is not a person without ideas."

Nor is it a mere Xu Yan who can be moved.

Wei Jiaoniang finally felt relieved, and asked the hidden guard, "What else?"

The secret guard replied politely: "The title of Marquis of Anji will be inherited by his eldest daughter Xu Yao."

ah? ! Wei Jiaoniang was dumbfounded, her jaw almost dropped from shock.

"This, this, this..." Wei Jiaoniang opened and closed her mouth, once again experiencing the feeling of being dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to comment.

How did things go in this direction? !

Feng Yang smiled lightly, with a wise and clear light in his eyes.

She grew up watching Wei Shen, the Duke of Wei, and naturally knew him far better than Xu Yan and Wei Jiaoniang.

Xu Yan, after all, he is still too young.

He thought that using the title as a bait could make Wei Shen fall in love with him, make Wei Shen hold his hand high and let him go.

But he didn't want to, he was pretending to be smart, but it reminded Wei Shen of a new way of thinking.

"This son can be established or destroyed." Feng Yang said with a smile, with a hint of trying to appeal to Wei Jiaoniang, "Instead of worrying all the time in the next few decades, it's better..."

Fengyang paused meaningfully, Wei Jiaoniang was completely aroused by curiosity, and asked eagerly: "How about it?"

"Leave the father and keep the daughter." Feng Yang spit out these four words slowly, with a playful smile in his eyes.

This is indeed something that Wei Shen can do!

When he was young, he was good at taking surprises and taking them by surprise, but now he is old and his brain is not old.

A few wisps of breeze blew from outside the tea shed, causing some ripples on Fengyang's clothes, adding a bit of unrestrained temperament to his whole body.

"Pfft!" Gu Yanfei couldn't help laughing out, laughing uncontrollably, a pair of shallow dimples formed on his lips.

Wei Jiaoniang was dumbfounded when she heard it, and felt that Fengyang's words made sense. She always felt that the door to a new world had opened, and her eyes sparkled.

Wei Jiaoniang felt as if there was a feather scratching her heart, she hurriedly said: "Hurry up, tell me what happened."

She regretted it, she knew that she should have dragged Gu Yanfei into the palace to watch the excitement, why did she miss such a big excitement!

Hey, blame her, blame her for not having too much confidence in her grandfather.

Grandpa actually did such a shocking thing!

The dark guard took a look at Fengyang's expression, and he was completely satisfied.

When Wei Guogong and Xu Yan entered the palace, the emperor had already left the early court, and they met in Qianqing Palace.

When Wei Guogong saw the emperor, he was filled with righteous indignation and accused Xu Yan of colluding with bandits, looting passers-by, and occupying people's land.

Xu Yan originally thought that Wei Guogong had been persuaded by him, but he was dumbfounded at that time.

After recovering from his senses, Xu Yan naturally tried to refute Duke Wei, saying that the evidence was forged and the witnesses were bought by Duke Wei, but Duke Wei lightly refuted it:

"Your Majesty, you have also seen that this man has all the evidence, and Xu Yan still refuses to repent, which is really embarrassing!"

Even the hidden guards had to praise Wei Guogong for being cunning and cunning. The scene of Wei Guogong's impassioned voice in Qianqing Palace just now clearly appeared in his mind:

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Xu Bing, the ancestor of the Marquis of Ji'an, please retain the title of the Marquis."

"Don't ruin Xu Bing's lifetime of wisdom just because his descendants are unfilial. After all, Xu Bing also died to save the late emperor..."

When it came to the "emotional part", Duke Wei knelt down and wiped his tears with his sleeve as he said it. That kind of affectionate demeanor was like letting him tell the good and the bad.

When the young dark guard said this vividly, Wei Jiaoniang couldn't help clapping her hands vigorously, and praised happily: "Tall, grandpa is really tall!"

Wei Jiaoniang felt that she would have to drink three cups with her grandfather when she went back.

"What did Xu Yan say?" Wei Jiaoniang asked again.

What else can Xu Yan say? ! The dark guard's expression became more complicated, "Marquis Ji An didn't react at that time..."

At that time, Xu Yan was also confused by Wei Guogong's unexpected operation.

"The emperor is also grateful for Xu Bing's contribution to the late emperor's rescue, saying that it is an extra favor to retain the title of Marquis of Ji'an, but if Marquis of Ji'an colluded with the bandits and is not punished, the people will not be outraged."

"The Duke of the country asked the emperor to punish Marquis Ji'an in a just manner, saying that Marquis Ji'an has no son under his knees, so it is better for his daughter Xu Yao to inherit the title."

"After careful consideration, the emperor agreed, and the imperial decree will be officially issued today."

The dark guard sighed and said the last sentence.

He can also imagine what kind of turbulent waves this incident will cause in the court, the capital, and even the entire scene.

Xu Yao is only six years old and is about to become the first female Marquis of the Dajing Dynasty.

Wei Jiaoniang's face was blooming with a smile, and she really wanted to go back to the house now, hugging her little cousin Xu Yao and circling around.

Happy, grandpa really did a great job!

Feng Yang suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Wei Jiaoniang's head, with a little elder's love for the younger, he said with a smile: "Others say your grandfather is a rough man, but this is just the appearance."

"Do you think your grandfather is really useless to let your grandmother put a knife on your neck?" Feng Yang said jokingly, stretching out his fingers and flicking Wei Jiaoniang's eyebrows lightly, "You, learn from your grandfather, Don't be careless all day long, just like your grandmother."

what? What? Wei Jiaoniang was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and once again expressed her unbelievable emotion in her heart: Grandpa is such a grandfather, thanks to his straightforward appearance!

Wei Jiaoniang wanted to ask some old stories about her grandparents, but Feng Yang put down his teacup and stood up.

"Are you leaving?" Wei Jiaoniang quickly got up too.

Feng Yang hooked his lips with a smile that was not a smile, "Woman Xijue, those old-fashioned people have objected, while I am still alive, I can still suppress those people, so this matter must be implemented."

"It's so hard to have such an opportunity, you can't miss it."

"As long as there is a precedent, it will be much easier in the future."

At this point, Fengyang and Wei Guogong thought of going together. Since they want to do it, they will do it with big votes and ruthless. Great opportunity.

When Feng Yang said these words, his whole body released an awe-inspiring arrogance, which shocked Wei Jiaoniang, and she remembered the invincible female general that her grandfather and grandmother told her about on the battlefield——

That Fengyang who was so magnificent when he was young.

Feng Yang got up from the bench, and suddenly his body shook slightly, and he immediately stood up while supporting the table.

Almost at the same time, Gu Yanfei also stood up and gave Feng Yang a hand, pressed the other's pulse without any trace, and said with a smile: "I made a fortune, it is a good omen."

Feng Yang smiled sassyly, and patted the little girl on the shoulder, "Thank you for your good words."

Fengyang's carriage was still parked across the street, Gu Yanfei and Wei Jiaoniang sent her into the carriage, and then watched the carriage leave.

When Feng Yang came to the palace, the palace was very lively.

Before the imperial decree that the emperor canonized Xu Yao as a female marquis was delivered to the Qianqing Palace, those well-informed honorable courtiers came to the Qianqing Palace one after another to ask to see the emperor, and were stopped in the main hall one by one.

These people expressed their disapproval one after another:

"It's not appropriate for this woman to become a nobleman like never before."

"A man stands upright, a warrior can go to the battlefield, a man can enter the court, and a country can be settled in peace, how can a woman do it? If she can't be loyal to the country, wouldn't this title be vacant?!"

"The male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside. The husband is the guide for the wife. You must not reverse the guideline. This is the appearance of a disordered family."

"..."

These people quoted scriptures one by one, and they talked very lively, making this huge Qianqing Palace as noisy as a vegetable market.

"What's wrong with letting a woman become a nobleman?"

Until a calm and majestic female voice sounded from outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace. The female voice was old, but still resounding, with a strength like lightning and thunder, which was exceptionally clear among the noisy male voices.

There was silence in the main hall for a moment, and all the ministers couldn't help but looked around in unison.

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, a blue figure appeared at some time. Although the old woman with gray hair was old, her figure was still tall and straight, and her temperament was still noble and extraordinary.

Holding a long sword with a golden scabbard in her hand, she crossed the high threshold and entered the main hall.

The golden scabbard was engraved with a golden dragon pattern and inlaid with seven shining gemstones. Everyone knew that it was the Shangfang sword given to Fengyang by Emperor Taizu——Seven Star Sword.

Feng Yang strolled over the court under the complicated eyes of everyone, and said in a calm manner: "Back then, the Taizu still intended to make my palace the heir, why couldn't he make a woman the lord?!"

Fengyang's old and sassy face was very calm, with a slight smile on his lips, his voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it carried a lofty demeanor, and his whole body was faintly exuding a sword-like sharpness.

At that moment, all the honorable courtiers in the hall were suppressed by her superior aura.

The surroundings became quieter, as if all the sounds had been sucked away, only the faint chirping of birds could be heard outside the hall.

"His Royal Highness Princess Fengyang." Xiao Shoufu bowed his hands to Fengyang indifferently, thinking in his heart that it must be the emperor who ordered Fengyang to come to rescue him.

He is the dignified chief assistant, the head of all the ministers, and he will not be afraid of Fengyang!

Xiao Shoufu raised his eyes and looked directly at Fengyang, and said righteously: "But all the officials were against the Taizu back then..." and set up a female crown prince.

However, only halfway through the words, Feng Yang stopped only three steps away from him. With a slight flick of her left hand holding the sheath, the sword was slightly unsheathed, making a slight sound.

The silver sword body shone with a chilling cold light.

Feng Yang's originally indifferent eyes became extremely cold at this moment, with a trace of bloodthirsty sharpness, as if a soldier in the battlefield would draw his sword at any time and let her enemy's blood splatter on the spot.

The distance between the two of them is too close, as long as Fengyang draws out his sword, he will...

Xiao Shoufu shivered in his heart, and couldn't help but took half a step back.

He knew that Fengyang really dared.

Fourteen years ago, when the first emperor was in power, Fengyang used this seven-star sword to kill Wang Xin, the former minister of the Ministry of War, who proposed to surrender to the enemy and negotiate peace in the early court.

When Xiao Shoufu retreated, he accidentally stepped on another minister behind him. The other minister grunted in pain, staggered, and bumped into another person.

Feng Yang retracted the part of the sword that was exposed into the sheath again, and sneered lowly at Xiao Shoufu.

"..." The corners of Xiao Shoufu's mouth drooped, and his facial features were tense.

Back then, Fengyang was only one step away from being the crown prince, but unfortunately...

Feng Yang ignored Xiao Shoufu and walked straight to the South Study Room.

All the eyes in the hall still fell on her.

Even Xiao Shoufu didn't dare to face Princess Fengyang, let alone the others, all of them looked like wilted cabbages.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more dignified and depressing.

From the moment Fengyang appeared just now, Xiao Shoufu and the others had a faint premonition in their hearts that they might not be able to stop it.

The appointment of Xu Yao as the newly promoted Marquis of Ji'an is a foregone conclusion.

This is the first noble title inherited by a woman in the Dajing Dynasty, and Xu Yao is also the first female marquis in history.

When the imperial decree to confer Xu Yao was delivered to Duke Wei's mansion, Wei Wan who knelt down with her daughter to receive the decree was simply stupid.

The Mrs. Wei Guogong next to her quietly pinched her, and Wei Wan finally realized it, and said dryly: "This concubine accepts the order on behalf of my daughter, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Wei Wan and her daughter Xu Yao kowtowed to thank them, and raised their hands to accept the edict from the eunuch Zhao Rang, still feeling unbelievable.

Afterwards, she stood up holding the imperial decree, holding this precious imperial decree in her hands and reading it over and over again, before she was convinced that all this was not a dream, but a reality.

Xu Yao, who was only six years old, was also ignorant. Since she was a child, everyone around her said that her elder brother Xu Luo was the future heir of the Hou family, but now she has become a prince.

Wei Wan looked at her daughter's ignorant and innocent little face. At this moment, her thoughts were extremely chaotic and her mood was extremely complicated. She even forgot to thank Zhao Rang, the eunuch who passed the decree.

"Please trouble Eunuch Zhao." Mrs. Wei Guogong thanked Eunuch Zhao personally with a smile on her face, secretly praised Wei Shen for doing a good job, and at the same time hinted that the nurse in charge gave Zhao Rang a big red seal.

This is a great joy. Eunuch Zhao accepted the red seal without hesitation, and conveyed the emperor's intentions kindly: "Mrs. Guogong, Mrs. Wei, the emperor said that the queen is still young and cannot live without her mother. The mother came to raise the daughter-in-law, and after the daughter-in-law was old enough, she moved back to Ji'anhou's mansion."

Mrs. Wei? Wei Wan opened her eyes slightly and was stunned for a moment.

The daughter was named Marquis of Ji'an, logically speaking, shouldn't she be Mrs. Marquis of Ji'an?

The emperor allowed his daughter to return to the Marquis of Ji'an after reaching Jiji. Does that mean that the daughter can live with her in the Duke's Mansion?

Seeming to see what Wei Wan was thinking, Zhao Rang said cheerfully: "The emperor has already granted madam the right to marry Xu Yanyi, and also said that if madam meets a suitable person, she can remarry. We are not chaste in Dajing Dynasty. The rules of the archway."

Everyone knows that this is the emperor's extra favor.

"..." Wei Wan's heart agitated for a while, and she blinked slowly, her eye sockets were sour and moist, and her eyelashes were stained with a few drops of tears.

She once thought that the best result she could wait for was for her to break up with Xu Yanyi and let her daughter follow her back to Wei's house.

Maybe, she can avenge her poor daughter whom she has never met, so that Xu Yan and Yuqing can be severely punished...

The present result was beyond her expectation!

"Trouble father-in-law thank the emperor for me and my daughter." Wei Wan's voice was a little hoarse, and it was hard to hide her sobs.

She still hated Xu Yan for being cruel, and hated herself for being ignorant, but at this moment, the joy in her heart was higher than that hatred.

It was like a festering wound being re-cut, the pus was squeezed out, and the carrion was cut off. Although it was painful, she knew that after this, the wound in her heart would heal sooner or later.

One day, she will let it go!

On the same day, after Wei Guogong returned to the mansion, he ate some hastily, and hurriedly took Yaomei and his niece Xu Yao into the palace to thank him.

After the Wei family came out of the palace, they didn't go back to the Duke's mansion directly, but went to the Gu family first.

Previously, Wei Wan and Mrs. Wei Guogong came to thank Gu Yanfei once, and now that the matter is over, they came again with a heavy gift.

Gu Yuan was on duty in the palace today, so Gu Yanfei entertained them by himself.

I said the words of gratitude last time, but Wei Wan still couldn't help but took Gu Yanfei's hand and thanked her again. As she spoke, the circles of her eyes began to turn red.

Gu Yanfei owed their mother and daughter life-saving grace.

She will remember this kindness forever.

Wei Wan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and after calming down, she talked about another important matter of the trip: "Yan Fei, I have made an appointment to do something for my youngest daughter who died young in three days. If you are free, I would like to ask you to come over to the residence as well."

Wei Wan was afraid that if something wasn't done properly in the ritual, it would affect the reincarnation of the young girl.

"It's a trivial matter." Gu Yanfei readily agreed.

Xu Yao sat obediently by the side, just quietly watching Wei Wan and Gu Yanfei, with thick black bangs, and black pupils as pure as ink.

Children's eyes are always like this, black and white are distinct, without pollution.

Compared with the first time Gu Yanfei saw her in Duke Wei's Mansion, something has changed about the little girl, the innocence on her face faded a little, and she became a little calmer.

There have been drastic changes in the family, and the girl who is only six years old is also a little old enough to be a governor. The picture of her father trying to kill her and her mother will always be engraved in her heart, and she will heal this wound in this life.

Gu Yanfei stared at Xu Yao's face carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "Let Ling Ai learn martial arts."
