Three Years After Falling Off the Cliff

"Your Highness, please take a seat." Yun Zhaobai saw his sister and the prince standing closer and closer, whispering to each other, so he walked between them with a smile: "Please."

Sui Tingheng sat at the top. After several greetings, Liu Qiongzhi's attitude towards the prince changed from unfamiliar courtesy to cordial appreciation.

Fu Yi thought that if a person as talented as the prince wanted to make friends with anyone, it would be easy for him to do so.

"Fu Yi is loyal, and my father and I have seen it." Sui Tingheng smiled and said, "My father often told me in private that you and Minister Yun taught them well, so Mr. Yun and Fu Yi are so extraordinary."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. My two children, one is naive and the other is stubborn. They are very worrying." Liu Qiongzhi smiled brightly and turned her head to look at her two children: "I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Your Highness."

"Mr. Yun's "Tan Chong Fu" is amazing. I have read it over and over again, and I still remember it." Sui Tingheng recited a few sentences from "Tan Chong Fu" with admiration: "I like these sentences especially."

"It is my honor to be read by Your Highness." Yun Zhaobai did not expect that the prince had actually read the article he wrote. He stood up and bowed: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

"Tan Chong Fu" is not his most famous article, but it was written after he reunited with his sister in Chongzhou. It is full of his joy and blessings, so he likes this article very much.

Now that he saw that His Highness also liked this fu, the look in his eyes when he looked at His Highness had a hint of looking at a soulmate.

"After Fu Yi returned to the capital, she shared father's worries many times. Both father and mother wished that Fu Yi was a member of our family." Sui Tingheng's eyes met Fu Yi's and he smiled at her.

Liu Qiongzhi understood instantly that the prince was telling them that the emperor was very satisfied with Fu Yi's attitude towards the envoys from Liyang Kingdom, and was also using this incident to make his position clear to the ministers in the court.
She was somewhat fortunate that the current emperor was a man of blood, and the soldiers and people on the border finally had hope.

"It's getting late. I should go back." Sui Tingheng put down his teacup, stood up and said goodbye.

Liu Qiongzhi did not dare to keep him, and accompanied Fu Yi and Yun Zhaobai to the gate: "Farewell, Your Highness."

Sui Tingheng reached out to support Liu Qiongzhi's hand as she was about to bow, and said to Fu Yi behind her, "Don't worry, my father and I are here, and we won't allow the envoys from Liyan to be rude to you."

Fu Yi raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "I know, thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing her smile, he unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth as well. It was not until he sat back in the carriage and everything around him became quiet that he realized that the corners of his mouth were raised.

He lifted the curtain and looked outside. The carriage had already left the Yun family. All he could see were the Jinwu Guards in golden armor.

"Your Highness, what do you want?" The Jinwu Guard standing by the car window saw His Highness lift the curtain and asked hurriedly in a low voice.

"Nothing." Sui Tingheng let down the curtain and reached out to touch the purse at his waist, which contained the jade beads that Fu Yi gave him.
He didn't even dare to wear the jade beads given to him by Fu Yi openly.
He was afraid that the world would notice his feelings, so he forced Fu Yi to be his Crown Princess, depriving her of her freedom and choice.

Three years ago, he prayed to heaven and earth and to his ancestors, asking them to bless Fu Yi to be alive.
As long as she was alive and well, he would ask for nothing more.
But greed always triumphs over reason...

The General of Chariots and Cavalry of Liyang State was still waiting for the Emperor of Long Dynasty to send someone to apologize to him, but until the day of the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince, he still hadn't received anyone's apology.

"I am so angry!" The general pounded the table in anger, "How dare Long Chao look down on me like this!"

The Sixth Prince, who had woken up too early and was still sleepy, was startled by the loud noise and opened his eyes: "General Zhong, what's wrong with you?"

"Sixth Prince, the Long Dynasty dares to look down on us like this. I will teach them a lesson." General Zhong put his hands behind his back after feeling sore from slapping. "I heard that the Emperor has only one son, the Crown Prince. At today's state banquet, we should find a way to embarrass the Crown Prince."

"Aren't we here to buy grain from Long Chao?" The Sixth Prince forced himself to cheer up and not let sleepiness overcome him: "What good will it do us if we have a bad time with them tonight?"

"Sixth Prince, you don't understand the people of Long Dynasty." General Zhong snorted disdainfully: "Their civil officials are all weaklings. As long as we take a tougher attitude towards them, they will be afraid. Then, won't we have the final say?"

The Sixth Prince frowned: "But the emperor of the Long Dynasty has changed, maybe..."

"There is absolutely no such possibility." General Zhong said confidently: "The current emperor is very disliked by the previous emperor. It is said that he is very mediocre and cowardly. Such an emperor must be easier to deal with than the previous emperor."

The Sixth Prince was silent for a moment and then said, "But if he is a coward, why hasn't he sent anyone to apologize to us?"

"The woman who was rude to me was the old lover of Prince Ning. Maybe Prince Ning was afraid that the emperor would punish that woman, so he concealed the matter. The emperor had no idea what she had done." General Zhong said confidently, "Your Highness, you are an excellent archer. Today I will find a way to let the Crown Prince of Longchao compete with you in archery, so that they will know how powerful we are compared to the princes of the royal family of Liyang State."

Sixth Prince: “…”
You want to vent your anger, but you let me take the lead. This is really going against Tiangang!

"Row."
Forget it, General Zhong has a bad temper and a bad brain, he is too lazy to argue with him. Besides, it is not a bad thing to show off the power of Liyan in front of Longchao and envoys from other countries.

At the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince, Fu Yi, as the newly crowned princess, also had to enter the palace to meet the emperor and kowtow.

The enthronement ceremony was conducted together with the capping ceremony. Fu Yi found it cumbersome, but the prince, the person involved, managed to do every step perfectly. Even his kneeling ceremony was more elegant and beautiful than that of others.

They offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, worshipped their ancestors, and the prince was dressed in auspicious clothes. Finally, the emperor personally put the nine-dragon golden crown on the prince's head.
When the prince's golden seal fell into Sui Tingheng's palm, the cold touch made his fingertips tremble slightly.

"bye!"
All the courtiers and ladies knelt down. The emperor helped Sui Tingheng up and asked him to stand beside him: "Heng'er, look at your feet."

The sun was shining brightly. Sui Tingheng looked at the people crawling on the jade steps. His eyes moved to the right little by little. He paused for a moment at a certain point, then retracted his gaze and raised the golden seal of the prince in his hand.

"Goodbye!"
"Three thanks!"

After three bows, Fu Yi looked up at the prince on the dragon-patterned jade steps, and the crowd exclaimed. The sun shone on the prince's golden crown and golden seal, and the reflected light vaguely formed the shape of a golden dragon.

"What a good sign!"

One old minister was so excited that he almost fainted. Fu Yi noticed that Princess Kangyang, who was standing in front, even staggered a few times.

Fu Yi looked at Sui Tingheng, who was still calm and composed, and said loudly, "God bless Dalong, long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the prince."

Everyone finally reacted and knelt down again in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live the prince!"

"My son is destined to be king." The emperor was happier than the courtiers, and had no grudge against the fact that the prince was in the limelight: "It is a blessing for us to have such a crown prince."

Prince Ning knelt together with his clan members. He looked at the emperor who was happier than Sui Tingheng, and could not understand why the emperor had such a reaction.
When my father was still alive, even though he doted on him to the core, he was still somewhat suspicious of him.
Suspicion is a common problem of every emperor. He didn't believe that his good brother could always tolerate the prince's prestige among the people exceeding his.

When the envoys saw this scene, they also lowered their heads and whispered to each other.

"Is this really a good omen?"
"Who knows? The Long Dynasty people are very cunning. Maybe this is a trick they played."
"If you have such a method, why not use it on the emperor? This is unreasonable."
"Did the prince do it himself?"
"Why do you do something that makes the emperor suspicious of you? Do you want to live a peaceful life?"

"Sixth Prince..." General Zhong frowned and said softly to the Sixth Prince, "From the looks of this prince who is gentle and refined, I'm sure his archery skills are not as good as yours."

The Sixth Prince said nothing.
Prince Longchao is not good at archery, but he is lucky.
Emperor Long had no other children, and his position as crown prince was as stable as a rock. Even if something like this happened that stole the emperor's limelight, the emperor would still laugh happier than anyone else.
The princes of Liyan Country would never dare to dream of such a good thing.

The tedious ceremony finally ended, everyone entered the hall and took their seats, and gifts from various countries were presented.

The envoys from all countries paid their respects to the emperor, empress and prince according to the etiquette of the long dynasty, except for the Liyan Kingdom, which followed the Liyan Kingdom etiquette.

Seeing that the emperor and the crown prince did not react much, General Zhong sat back at the table and said, "Sixth Prince, I was right. The new emperor is a coward."
The Sixth Prince looked at the Crown Prince, who exuded a distinguished temperament in every aspect. The Crown Prince seemed to have noticed his gaze and slightly raised the wine cup in his hand towards him.

When the Sixth Prince met the other party's ink-black eyes, he felt a little strange.
These eyes reminded him of the snow on the high mountains of Liyan Country, which was spotless and never melted all year round.

He was the first to look away, turned his head and glanced around, and was attracted by a woman in a water-blue palace dress opposite him.

"Sixth Prince, did you see the woman in aqua clothes surrounded by several women?" General Zhong stood up and said, "She is the one who offended me two days ago. I want to have a good meeting with her."

"Miss, there were some misunderstandings between you and me a few days ago. As long as you are willing to drink nine cups of wine, the matter will be resolved." General Zhong put the wine pot heavily on the table, staring at Fu Yi with his burning eyes: "I wonder if you can give me this face?"

General Zhong's voice was quite loud and everyone around him fell silent. Sui Tingheng turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"The general was rude to the servants at Sifang Pavilion. This princess saw it clearly. What misunderstanding is there?" Fu Yi chuckled and put down the wine glass in her hand calmly: "If General Zhong is willing to drink nine cups of wine, then this princess is willing to give the general a chance to explain."

The civil officials who were about to speak for Yun Fuyi shut their mouths immediately when they heard this.
When it comes to the ability to make people angry, the playboy is better.

"It seems that the girl hasn't figured it out yet." General Zhong's eyes were filled with anger: "You have offended this general."

"General Zhong," King Ning said, "please don't be rude."

"Your Highness Prince Ning, you can't even protect yourself right now, why are you rushing to stand up for your sweetheart?" General Zhong looked at Prince Ning with disdain: "Or are you going to drink for her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into deathly silence. No one dared to speak, but just used their eyes to frantically probe the parties involved.

Princess Ning looked up at Fu Yi, barely able to conceal the astonishment in her eyes.
No wonder the servants in Prince Ning's mansion never mentioned Yun Fuyi in front of her. Even if she asked about it, they would be hesitant and vague.
original……

"General Zhong, there are many ways to curse people, but yours is too dirty." Fu Yi raised her eyebrows slightly: "Just because I stopped you from being rude, you want to humiliate me like this?"
If you want to quarrel, just quarrel. Why do you have to humiliate others?

"Humiliation?" Even if General Zhong was careless, he could still sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall.

"Prince Ning is a married man, you are involving him with me, what else can it be but humiliation?" Fu Yi stroked the hairpins on her temples, smiling: "Everyone in the capital knows that I, Yun Fu Yi, only like clean young men."

Everyone: "..."
They haven't heard of it.
Ahem, but the married Prince Ning is indeed not as clean as the handsome young man.
Everyone turned to look at Prince Ning, whose face looked so grim as if he was going to visit the late emperor's grave.

"I wonder where the general heard this rumor from?" Princess Ning smiled and said, "Princess Yun has no relationship with Prince Ning, but she is as close to me as a sister. You might as well say that she is my sweetheart."

The deputy general behind General Zhong was completely confused. He remembered that Prince Ning and Yun Fuyi had a close relationship. Where did this Prince Ning's wife come from, and why was she competing with her husband for a woman?
Are women from Long Dynasty playing such a big game?

General Zhong wanted to say something when the prince, who was sitting at the top, suddenly spoke.

Sui Tingheng's eyes were cold and he said, "General Zhong, this is the princess of Dalong. I will not tolerate anyone being rude to me. If you say anything more, I will regard you as a provocation."
