As time went by, Xiao Fenglan frowned every time she saw the mischievous Princess Qingfeng.
Only when he saw Princess Qingshuang would he show a relieved expression.
Xiao Fenglan and Princess Qingshuang are friends who talk about everything. They study and compete together.
Later, everyone in the Beiqing Imperial Palace knew that Xiao Fenglan liked Princess Qingshuang and disliked Princess Qingfeng.
The first emperor arranged for Fenglan to accompany the two princesses for nothing, and wanted to choose one of the two princesses for Fenglan to marry her as his wife.
Such an outstanding Fenglan is enough to make all the unmarried women in the world fall in love with her.
Everyone believed that Feng Lan would end up with Princess Qingshuang, even Qingshuang himself thought so.
But these rumors, to Xiao Qingfeng, are like the wind in her ears, she is still going her own way, pestering Fenglan.
Time flies by, Princess Qingshuang is fourteen years old, Feng Lan is sixteen years old, and Qing Feng is thirteen years old.
That year was also in the middle of winter, Beiqing and Empress were seriously ill, the late Emperor and Princess Qingshuang stayed beside the sick bed in undressed clothes.
Only Princess Qingfeng disappeared because of her playfulness.
She disappeared for a day and a night, the first emperor ordered all the guards of the palace to look for her, and Feng Lan searched all over the city.
It was not until late at night that Princess Qingfeng came back.
The first emperor was furious and punished him to kneel outside the Izumo Hall and think about his mistakes.
Although Princess Qingshuang was also angry at her younger sister's willful behavior, but the sisters loved each other deeply, and she also knew that the younger sister did not study martial arts well when she was young, and her physique was not good, so she might not be able to survive the whole night.
In the middle of the night, she was worried about Qing Feng and planned to sneak out to give Qing Feng some clothes.
In front of the Izumo Hall, the cold wind was like a knife cutting, and the people kneeling in front of the hall were already covered in snow.
Before Princess Qingshuang approached, she heard a worried voice.
"Brother Fenglan, you'd better put me down, you've been kneeling for a whole night, you'll freeze to death."
The kneeling one was obviously Feng Lan, his hair and clothes were already covered with ice scum.
"The Holy One punished you to kneel and ordered me to watch over you. If you are lazy and don't kneel, I am the one to blame. I told you a long time ago that the safety charms in Puji Temple are all for fooling fools, but you fool didn't listen and ran to that place." Far away, ask for a broken peace talisman for your mother. Next time, even if the Holy Majesty punishes you to kneel for three days and three nights, I will never bother you."
The young Fenglan's broad shoulders blocked the wind and snow behind him, and also blocked the sight of Princess Qingshuang.
But even if she couldn't see it, Qingshuang could still guess who was the person in Fenglan's arms.
The clothes in Qingshuang's hands fell to the ground, she bit her lip, turned and left without looking back.
After that night, Qing Feng was fine, but Feng Lan suffered from rheumatism since then.
Afterwards, the first empress still died of a serious illness, and the first emperor was distraught, and his health deteriorated day by day.
Knowing that he might die soon, he called Qingshuang and Qingfeng to the bed.
The first emperor granted Qingshuang the title of Empress Dowager, and began to handle the government affairs, and ordered Qingfeng to assist Qingshuang.
The two sisters swore in front of the late emperor that they would help each other and never be enemies.
On the day Qingshuang was awarded the title, she wanted to ask the late emperor to give her and Fenglan a marriage, but the late emperor did not agree, but promoted Fenglan as the front general to assist Qingshuang.
A year later, Qingshuang's ability to govern has become more and more stable, and she and Fenglan have become increasingly compatible in both court and political views.
On that day, Qingshuang's birthday, she finally mustered up the courage to confess to Fenglan.
Empress Beiqing was so bold for the first time in her life that she took the initiative to kiss him.
"Fenglan, I like you."
Feng Lan's eyes were complicated, but before he could answer, there was an exclamation from behind.
The back of Qing Feng leaving in a panic made Feng Lan lose his composure, he turned around to chase Qing Feng, but was hugged by Qing Shuang.
The girl's soft body was tightly pressed against the man's hard back.
"Feng Lan, are you willing to be my imperial husband? As long as you are willing, I will only love you for the rest of my life."
Feng Lan's back stiffened little by little, and he gently pushed Qingshuang away.
"Emperor Dowager, you shouldn't say such capricious words. The emperor has already chosen an imperial husband for you. Feng Lan is the head of Fengfu, and she will never be your imperial husband."
Feng Lan's words made Qingshuang stunned on the spot.
She only remembered that Fenglan was her playmate and best friend when she was young, but she forgot that he was the master of Fengfu.
The Beiqingfeng Mansion is extremely honorable, but as the emperor's husband, he can only be an appendage of the empress forever and cannot participate in politics.
After that day, Princess Qingfeng avoided seeing Qingshuang and Fenglan.
Until, Princess Qingfeng proposed that she would go to Tongtian Pavilion to learn art from a teacher.
Qingshuang and Feng Lan were both present when they heard the news from the first emperor. At that time, Feng Lan's expression changed suddenly.
He even ignored the late emperor's order and insisted on taking Qingfeng away.
After that, Qing Feng and Feng Lan disappeared for three months.
Three months later, after the two returned, they were severely punished, and Hou Fenglan proposed to marry Qingfeng.
The entire Beiqing Imperial Palace is not worth it for the Empress Dowager Qingshuang.
They all thought it was Princess Qingfeng and forced Fenglan to marry her.
But the truth, no one knows better than Qingshuang.
Because that day, when Feng Lan rushed into Qing Feng's bedroom, she saw Feng Lan with her own eyes, the situation when Feng Lan, who was always calm, with red eyes, forcibly took Qing Feng away.
The night before the two got married, Princess Qingshuang got very drunk, so she found Feng Lan uncharacteristically.
"Fenglan, tell me, is it because I am the empress dowager that you don't want to marry me? Ever since you were young, you have clearly liked me. Did Qingfeng seduce you?"
No matter how many years have passed, Empress Beiqing still remembers Feng Lan's reply at that time.
"Qingshuang, it's none of Feng'er's business. In fact, I forced her. I have always liked her since the first time I saw her. Qingshuang, you will be an aunt soon, Feng You have my flesh and blood." Feng Lan's voice was gentle and deep, and his eyes were throbbing.
Qingshuang was so familiar with Fenglan at that time.
Just like every time, when Qing Feng forced Feng Lan to take her out to play, he would always take her out even though he always looked disgusted.
Every time, when he brought her back after playing and fell asleep, the way Feng Lan looked at her was incomprehensible.
After many years, Qingshuang finally understood, but it was too late.
Besides Fenglan, Qingshuang is the master and confidant.
But Qingfeng is his wife, the one who bears all his love.
"My lord, it's time to enter the palace."
The voice of the servant beside her interrupted Bei Qingdi's thoughts about the past, she opened her eyes, and there was no extra thought in her eyes.
Outside the hall, there was no one there.
Both Fenglan and Qingfeng have become a thing of the past.
What she is facing now is Feng Xin, that Feng Xin who looks more and more like his father.
Inside the Izumo Hall, however, was crowded with people.
Empress Beiqing straightened her clothes and stepped into the Izumo Hall.
