Feng Ru Ai's
Chapter 8
"Your Majesty, why are you silent? Though at this time prince Rong had even moved to seek support when the position of the emperor's throne was still faltering because of the noble absence of the crown prince" asked Xiao Tong who was the second prince's right hand, who was the second prince, prince Ming Wen Yan.
Prince Yan who was busy reading in the lounge chair by the window of his room then lowered his reading book and looked at Tong who he already considered to be his own brother with a gaze as calm as flowing water.
"Why waste Ben Wang's precious time on the uncertain?" Ask Prince Yan
"The second brother is the rightful heir who has outlined the destiny of getting the position of emperor in the future, and Ben Wang does not want to interfere in the troublesome government and politics of the kingdom" said Prince Yan
"You know Tong, what is destined to be yours will still be yours. And what is not at all destined to be yours will lead you to destruction" explained the prince of Yan meaningfully.
"Is this why you don't want to fight for the throne?" Tanya Tong did not believe in his lord who had absolutely no ambition for power.
"Hmm, it's just a waste of energy. Ben Wang prefers to live like this without wasting energy and mind competing with first brother and second brother" replied the prince Yan indifferently then continued his reading.
Tong was only able to gawk so unreliable with the prince of Yan who preferred to hold the status of a prince forever, rather than competing for the throne and the highest position of the kingdom.

On the other hand, Yong continued to yawn on the sidelines of his explanation. He was as determined as he could to maintain his consciousness so that the demands of explanation that crown prince Rui pinta quickly completed and he could continue his delayed sleep soundly.
"Then what did Brother Lie say?" Crown Prince Rui's question began to enter the topic of discussion of the palace within
"Gege Lie hasn't told his highness the emperor about our whereabouts, gege is still hiding it, maybe gege waited for the right time before telling this matter to his majesty. Huawwaamm -- Yong yawns wide - even more so at this time the inner palace is still chaotic about your disappearance. The position of the emperor's throne is now faltering. Many prime ministers from various factions began to make support alliances for princes who wanted to advance for your vacant position. This is one of the reasons why Lie's consideration has not told his majesty about us who survived, he said, unstable condition of the palace is also a noble condition that is increasingly declining into consideration gege. Gege Lie is afraid that our existence is leaked and scattered when the condition of the palace is in a careless manner" explained Yong at length.
"Ayahanda was too habitual to think of Ben gong so his condition declined" said crown prince Rui.
"Inking sister Lie to keep an eye on food intake and health tonic for father, Ben gong was afraid, they started moving to eliminate father slowly" the command of the crown prince Rui who was possessed was half-conscious by Yong.
"You hear Yong?" Crown Prince Rui asked to make sure his best friend kept hearing his explanation.
"Hmm" replied Yong with a mutter
"Tks, Ben gong is not sure you heard and listened to him well" decak crown prince Rui said
"Stop bothering me Rui" said Yong wagging his hand driving away the crown prince Rui "you should rest now, it's late. You also need to rest, even more so than you will compete for the throne, you will also compete for the same woman" Yong yawned "why you can never escape competing with prince Rong, it doesn't matter power and throne, nor does it matter about women" Yong muttered half-consciously.
The obvious crown prince Rui knew that his hearing was still functioning properly, as well as his fully awake awareness instantly froze in place. His jaw tightened, his lips tightly covered. The color of his white skin had now turned red upon hearing Yong's words which were able to make every blood flowing in his veins rustle violently.
Prince Rong had always wanted to snatch what should have been his, and crown prince Rui obviously would not let him seize everything he had claimed as his own especially his target woman, Feng Ru Ai.

Ai should not be surprised when he woke up from his sleep, he was immediately greeted by the greetings of the servants who would help him clean up. This is clearly not much different from his life in the future. Every morning Ai will also get the same treatment from the servants who work at home, only now Ai is not used to it. The atmosphere in the past and in the future is clearly very different.
Ai was still surprised by the presence of servants wearing hanfu clothes who bandaged their bodies from the sun or the cold wind that swept the surface of the skin.
Ai improved her sitting position, she occasionally yawned and rubbed her itchy eyes. Honestly Ai still wanted to close her eyes, last night she had trouble sleeping because of too many thoughts. Finally he can only sleep when the day has entered the early hours.
Ai sleep was not long enough, Ai felt she only slept for a while. His rest time was interrupted by the sound that caused the servants who began to do their activities in his room. Aware that continuing to sleep will end in vain, Ai chose to wake up and collect all his consciousness that is still scattered.
Moreover, Ai was hungry at this time, as Ai remembered she had not even touched any food since she was here. It is only fitting that in addition to being disturbed by the sound of the activities of the servants, his deep sleep was also disturbed due to his stomach which revolted due to hunger.
"I'm hungry, can you bring me something to eat?"
They should not be surprised. Unfortunately the servants were unable to cover their shock with the unusual request of their young miss.
Usually, their lady will ask for the preparation of warm water for a soak not to forget with various fragrances, or usually their young lady asks them to bring a tray of clean water that they always prepare early to wash their face. But who would have thought, today her requests and orders were so much different from the habits of their young miss. Those who have worked with Miss Ai for a long time clearly feel that the young lady who looks very beautiful even without makeup on her face is not their young lady.

The top quality silk-clad beautiful woman stepped hurriedly down the hallway of the Lan pavilium corridor which was on the west side of the main pavilion of the Feng residence. The beautiful woman had just gotten word from her servant that her daughter had just woken up, so Fang Hua just darted off and ignored her husband to confirm the truth.
As the door to Ai's room shifted, Fang Hua let out a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter struggling with food.
Waitaminute!
It's freaky. Since when does his daughter have the habit of eating in the morning? As far as Fang Hua knew, his daughter did not have such a habit. Although Fan Hua had always followed Holing, who served at the border, Zhong had never been absent from reporting on his daughter's growth and development when she left.
Fang Hua who was feeling anxious and something was wrong with his daughter then walked over, he then placed his palm on Ai's forehead which was neither hot nor cold.
Ai who received unexpected treatment from her mother then stopped her feed, the food was only half, only half, but his hunger is now gone replaced by the look of a confused and anxious face shown by his mother who somehow looks very funny in the eyes of Ai.
"Are you sick?" Ask your mother to make sure
Ai who got unexpected and confusing questions from her mother then frowned.
"What does mother mean?"
Instead of answering, Ai asked back and it made Fang Hua even more worried.
"The mother must ask the maid to call the royal doctor now, you must be well checked because you don't usually eat this early" said Fang Hua who finally answered Ai's confusion.
Ai who heard that laughed. Her mother is so funny. How can just by doing habits outside the previous habits make a beautiful woman in front of him worried and so excited about his idol. What's wrong if Ai eats while she's still saying hello? He was so hungry, couldn't he have waited for the day to go by before filling his stomach? Can Ai make sure afterwards he will faint from hunger.
"Mom, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten since yesterday. Is it wrong if I eat early to replenish? Wouldn't be more troublesome if I waited for noon to fill my already very struggling stomach, I'm sure Father would be angry if he knew his mother was horrendous about this trivial matter just because I did something out of my habit" explained Ai after her laughter subsided.
"Mother knows" she replied quickly "just so surprised by what I just saw with my own eyes" he continued.
"If so, from now on the mother should get used to it. I could have given another surprise next time" Ai said ambiguously.
