But how could Feng Hongluan not understand Fei Fengcheng's temper? He only wanted to serve the country, the king and the people, and would rather return to the country in horse leather than live a quiet and quiet life.
And how could Feng Hongluan not know that even if he persuaded his father to live in seclusion in the countryside and ignore worldly affairs, the emperor would be willing to let him go.
The general held the tiger talisman's edict, and the only person the emperor could rely on was her father. Unless his father could not be injured on the battlefield, the emperor would be able to allow his father to retire and return to his hometown.
But how could her father not be injured on the battlefield?
Unless...my father is disabled.
No matter how much Feng Hongluan hoped that her father would not wade into troubled waters, she would never attack her father and make him a cripple.
This matter is on Feng Hongluan's mind, and he is very troubled. Although it is said that Hongkang will be eight years away, he still needs to prepare for a rainy day. If he does not make plans now, I am afraid that by then, there will be no way to escape unscathed.

Feng Hongluan's worries were quickly overcome by the festive atmosphere of Hongyan's birthday.
Hong Yan's birthday was really grand and grand.
The emperor asked the Jingshifang to allocate funds and money, and told him to make a big deal.
Even the birthday dinner will be held in the palace.
On the morning of June 15th, the whole house was full of joy. Feng Hongluan also put aside all her worries, put on the palace clothes of the concubine, and got on the carriage with Xia Rongling and went to the palace.
Hong Yan's birthday was scheduled to be held at the Sui Shou Hall in the palace.
Hong Yan entered the palace early in the morning before dawn. Since ancient times, the Hong Dynasty has a national motto that filial piety comes first, and private schools and workshops all use the two words of filial piety and brotherhood as the main guarantee for accepting people.
In the Hong Dynasty, the birth date was also known as the Mother's Day: a biological son, in the tenth month of pregnancy, was seriously ill, and on the day of his birth, the mother was in danger and the father was frightened.
Therefore, on birthdays, children should kneel down beside their mother's bed since they were children, and serve their mothers to rest. The so-called kneeling down is actually just a etiquette, but it does not really make people kneel down since childhood.
Hong Yanzi entered the palace before the time came. In the morning, Feng Hongluan and Xia Rongling, as Hong Yan's concubines, entered the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother with Hong Yan.
This is the first time Xia Rongling has entered the palace as Princess Fengfu after getting married.
She was also wearing the custom-made princess uniform from the palace. She hadn't seen her for many days, and her complexion was not as rosy and pink as when we first met her, but it was much better than the sallow complexion when King Huai visited her last time.
With a light application of makeup, her facial features are already exquisite. After a little dressing up and wearing this gorgeous robe, she also has an aura.
The two of them didn't say much on the car as they were guarding the law from Prince Jin's Mansion. Until they passed the moat in front of the palace gate, Xia Rongling spoke first, with a gentle voice: "You've been in this state for three months, I guess.
It won’t come out of the stomach.”
Feng Hongluan was slightly startled. Everyone in the world thought that she was pregnant around mid-March, and even now she is indeed three months pregnant.
But in fact, she knew in her heart that she was only diagnosed with pregnancy in mid-May. What kind of reaction would it have with her belly in January?
She smiled and prevaricated without changing her expression: "Something happened in my family recently. I was in a bad mood, so I ate less. I lost some weight, so my belly didn't show up."
Xia Rongling stretched out her hand to touch her belly, but Feng Hongluan dodged it. Xia Rongling held her hand in mid-air with an awkward smile: "I just want to feel it. I heard people say that if you touch your big belly, you will be blessed.
.”
Feng Hongluan smiled dryly again: "Sorry, I don't like others touching my belly."
"Then, I'm sorry!" Xia Rongling took back her hand, picked something from her neck, and handed it to Feng Hongluan: "This is the longevity lock, please accept it. It is my heartfelt gift to my child. I have been since childhood.
Something personal to carry with you.”
There is no reward for no merit, but Feng Hongluan can't refuse this kindness. Besides, Xia Rongling's eyes are so gentle and harmless.
"Thank you on behalf of the child!"
"Oh, no need. I'm afraid I won't be able to have children in my life. When I see other people having children, I really envy them." She said, looking out the window with sad eyes. Although she was smiling, there was nothing in her smile.
, but it seems that there is an unbreakable sadness.
Feng Hongluan couldn't do what she should have done or react. She couldn't possibly comfort him, let alone be so generous as to give Hong Yan to her.
When it comes to feelings, you either lose or you win.
Xia Rongling was a loser from the beginning. Even if she was a cheater, she still lost in the end. Feng Hongluan had a clear conscience about winning. She sympathized with Xia Rongling, but not because she couldn't get Hong Yan's love.
Rather, I sympathized with her, even though she had guessed that the ending might be like this, yet she still wanted to fly into the flames.
The car entered the palace, and when they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, they got out of the car, and Yuexiang and Hudie came up to wait on them respectively.
Feng Hongluan naturally considered bringing Yuexiang instead of Liuxiang into the palace.
Between Liuxiang and Yuexiang, she has always been quite biased. She likes Liuxiang far more than Yuexiang.
This is the case with servants. Once they feel aggrieved and resentful of their master, it will be difficult to train them.
Even if you are trained well in the future, if you are flattering and agreeing on the surface, you may not be doing your best in your work behind the scenes.
Today I deliberately brought Yuexiang into the palace without Liuxiang. Feng Hongluan wanted to balance Yuexiang and let Yuexiang know that she also valued Yuexiang and brought her to such a big occasion.
Yuexiang was obviously very excited, but she also appeared more cautious than usual, watching her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, and not daring to be distracted.
Naturally, the first step was to go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects. The Queen Mother today was in high spirits, dressed mainly in yellow and black, with a court dress embroidered with soaring golden phoenixes, which made her look very majestic.
Feng Hongluan went in together with Xia Rongling. After saying hello, the Queen Mother gave her permission and the group headed to the Liyuan.
The pear orchard was originally just a fruit orchard coexisting with the jujube orchard, mulberry orchard, peach orchard, and cherry orchard in the royal forbidden garden.
The late Emperor Hongwen set up a separate palace, a wine pavilion and a golf course in the Liyuan for banquets and entertainment by the emperor, his relatives, and his noble ministers.
Later, people with folk singing and dancing talents gathered in the Liyuan.
Whenever there was a large-scale celebration in the palace, several songs and dances would be arranged and performed in the Liyuan for the enjoyment of the emperor, queen, relatives, noble ministers and generals.
