Xiao Feng who had already come out of the palace called Yuan Li to accompany him, he planned to visit Xiao Chen at his residence.
"Yuan Li how is first brother?" xiao Feng asked as the two of them were walking.
"The first prince yesterday had met the lady of the Lin nobility, yet it seemed like they did not get along" Yuan Li replied. Xiao Feng nodded in understanding, before long they reached Xiao Chen's residence. All the workers were busy cleaning the house. Xiao Feng and Yuan Li saw Xiao Chen sitting on the front porch with uncle Wong.
"Prince, today is the 10th day of the 12th month, I ask the servants to clean the residence as well as change the Fengshui in the future our residence will always be safe and secure" said Uncle Wong as he poured tea. Xiao Chen took a sip of his tea while glaring upwards looking at the sky.
"Every year at a time like this Feng'er will always come" Xiao Chen said.
"Maybe the Second Prince is on his way"
"Good, let's go in!" xiao Chen said as he stood up but his eyes saw Xiao Feng and Yuan Li coming over.
"The Second Prince has already come" Uncle Wong said as he saluted, Xiao Feng smiled for a moment.
"Since mother died every year I would visit first brother when the residence was cleaned, has uncle Wong forgotten?" said Xiao Feng
"No, no, I can't possibly forget"
"Silver as usual" Xiao Feng said but Xiao Chen did not answer.
"Wait a minute I'll get you the chessboard" said Uncle Wong as he passed inside.
"What are you here for, this residence does not accept you" Xiao Chen said coldly after Wong's uncle entered, Xiao Feng who was about to sit down stopped his steps.
"Sister!"
"Don't call me brother again,,"
"Sister if I have any fault please forgive me" Xiao Feng said, Xiao Chen remained silent.
"Get out lest I expel you!" Xiao Chen said as he flicked his hand telling Xiao Feng to leave, Xiao Feng was still standing still while Yuan Li also did not comment.
"GO!!" Xiao Chen said in a slightly high tone making Xiao Feng and Yuan Li aghast in shock. Xiao Feng was silent for a moment then saluted then he and Yuan Li walked away from the residence. Uncle Wong who had just come out carrying a chessboard saw Xiao Feng leave instead.
"Second prince!"
"Don't chase after him, I kicked him out" Xiao Chen said, Uncle Wong was a little surprised to hear.
"Prince why did this?"
"Queen Xiao Lian is most skilled at exploiting people's weaknesses, if queen Lian finds out that me and Feng'er are together then she will use all means to suppress Feng'er through me" Xiao Chen said, Uncle Wong finally understood why Xiao Chen did that.
"My little sister from the outside looks meticulous but her heart has kindness and attach importance to relationships, if she wants to be a successor she has to be harder on herself"
"I remember once when Feng'er was five years old he came here insisting on cleaning the residence, Queen Hua had no choice and asked me to invite Feng'er to play chess with him" xiao Chen said with a smile, his hands seemed to be rubbing against the chessboard that Uncle Wong was holding. The shadow of her and Xiao Feng in childhood flashed across her head.
"That's it, let's go in!"

"Maybe the first Prince wants to protect you" Yuan Li said, Xiao Feng and Yuan Li were now walking in the town square after exiting the Xiao Chen residence.
"Do you know why every year I'm gonna play chess with my first brother when the house is cleared?" said Xiao Feng
"At that time I was five years old I always wanted to participate in cleaning the house, mother had no choice and then had the first brother invite me to play chess. At that time my brother said if he could beat him in a game of chess my pocket money from my father and mother would be more than my brother. And I always win it, but mom tells me that my pocket money is always the same. The more part was the big brother's gift" Xiao Feng said, Yuan Li was just listening.
"Silver has always sacrificed himself to protect me, but still hearing him say that my heart still hurts" Xiao Feng said softly, Yuan Li was also confused as to what kind of input he would have.
"You go home I want to calm down myself first" Xiao Feng ordered, Yuan Li nodded his head then cupped both hands and walked away from Xiao Feng.
After Yuan Li died, Xiao Feng walked around the town square. He looked at the crowds of people passing by, he continued walking until finally to the edge of the river flowing quietly through the city square. He stood on the bridge looking at the fish swimming in the clear water, remembering himself as a child always coming to the lake or river with his mother and Xiao Chen to see the fish. He smiled faintly then threw in some small food that he had bought from the riverbank merchant.
Xiao Feng was engrossed in looking at the fish and did not realize that there was a girl walking towards him while eating the cake in his hand there were several packages of food, yes the beautiful girl was none other than Feng Xi. Previously Feng Xi was bored in the central pavilion and decided he wanted to take a walk and it just so happened that he saw Xiao Feng standing still on the bridge looking at the fish.
The beautiful girl directly approached Xiao Feng and patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey what are you doing here?" feng Xi asked, Xiao Feng turned his gaze to see who patted him on the shoulder. He did not answer and looked back at the river. Feng Xi frowned astonished at Xiao Feng's attitude.
"Look at your forehead wrinkling like a lot of thought, you can smile a little at the fish"
"You take care of yourself, I want to be alone" Xiao Feng said, throwing food back into the river, Feng Xi thought that Xiao Feng was facing a complicated problem usually he was always relaxed when there were many problems. The beautiful girl thoughtlessly held Xiao Feng's hand and led him to a place, Xiao Feng did not protest or refuse him to follow Feng Xi who walked to a fishing rod shop.
"Boss, give me two pancins and the bait" Feng Xi said
"What do you want young lady?" ask the shop owner
"The best one"
"Hoho well wait a minute" said the store owner and went straight inside, before long he appeared with two fishing rods along with his bait.
"All 1 gold coins young lady"
"Alright, this is the money" Feng Xi said as he handed the coin and took the fishing rod, glancing at the still silent Xiao Feng. Feng Xi held Xiao Feng back and took him to a small lake on the edge of the city.
"Why did you bring me here?" xiao Feng said when they reached the lake, the two of them sat on the edge of the clear water lake. Feng Xi did not directly reply he put up a bait and threw a fishing hook.
"Hmm, I see you're having a lot of thoughts so we're going fishing for a little unwind" Feng Xi said with a sweet smile. Xiao Feng finally smiled then put up a bait and threw his fishing rod.
They are both engrossed in fishing in the afternoon, the sunlight is not too hot bouncing on the surface of the lake.
"Hey, it seems like my bait was eaten" Feng Xi shouted then pulled his fishing rod and before long a medium-sized fish leaped out of the water and instantly caught Feng Xi, who was not the only one, the fish was very beautiful golden yellow and the fins were bluish, Feng Xi put the fish into a container that was already filled with water.
"How great am I!" said Feng Xi as he glanced at Xiao Feng with his chin raised.
"It's just luck, look at this I will catch more fish" Xiao Feng said, but after a long time no one welcomed the bait.
"Haha you are not as proficient as him" Feng Xi said softly by sticking out his tongue.
"You dare to taunt me watch out huh" Xiao Feng said with an evil smile then jumped to catch Feng Xi and tickled his waist, Feng Xi did not have the time to dodge.
"Awww the black fox already, amused hahaha"
Feng Xi tried to rebel but instead rolled over from his seat, Xiao Feng was also interested until the two of them fell on the ground with Feng Xi under Xiao Feng, both of them were silent and looked at each other for a while, Xiao Feng looked at Feng Xi's clear eyes and vice versa. Slowly Xiao Feng lowered his face, the girl looked nervous and closed her eyes, Xiao Feng's warm and fragrant breath hitting her face gave off a red hue on Feng Xi's face, A little more the lips of both of them would touch, they were startled by the sound of splashing lake water and fish leaping from within the water of Feng Xi's fountains. The two immediately came to a realization then woke up with a red hue clearly visible on the faces of Xiao Feng and Feng Xi.
"Fuckin' fish!" curse Xiao Feng in his heart
"It's getting late in the afternoon that we should go home" said Feng Xi nervously and the red hue still clearly imprinted on her beautiful face, Xiao Feng nodded then cleaned up the equipment and the two of them walked together to leave the lake.
