Chapter 006

Now, there is one more

The past of romance has always been intertwined with resilience and practice, yet these days, there are no more opportunities. Fengliu Qin particularly admired Lan Fengchen's skills and eagerness to learn, and whenever he had leisure time, he would personally teach the two. Soon, Fengliu witnessed Lan Fengchen's prowess; in just half a year, while he shot a series of nine rapid arrows from a galloping horse, Lan Fengchen was able to shoot them down mid-air with his own arrows from a similarly galloping horse.

Not foolish, with a charming demeanor, he secretly thought to himself, yet spoke with a smile: "I knew that Sister Chen is indeed very open-minded, but the behavior of Can Ren cannot go unpunished. Can Ren is quite skilled in horsemanship; why not let him accompany you in practice today, Sister Chen? Perhaps in less than half a month, you will surpass me in this regard."

As the morning breeze swayed, I noticed the charming demeanor and, in surprise, asked: "Cousin? Is there something troubling you?" Can Ren gently tugged at Feng Liu's sleeve, subtly signaling with her eyes. Only then did Feng Liu come to his senses, suppressing his emotions, and resolved to bring this person closer in the future

Lan Fengchen was astonished upon hearing this, gazing at the resilient eyes, which had already changed. He greatly admired the various skills of Fengliu, especially the horsemanship and combat on horseback that he still could not match. It was hard for Lan Fengchen to imagine that someone merely a few months older than himself could master so many skills to such a high degree

The effect was remarkable. Lan Fengchen, with a puzzled expression, turned to look at Can Ren's face. Immediately, he was taken aback, his face slightly flushed. Feng Liu was overjoyed, yet his demeanor appeared calm and composed as he said nonchalantly: "Can Ren, how can you be so disrespectful to the princess!"

As the morning breeze whispered and the conversation came to an end, a frail figure gradually appeared at the staircase. Lan Feng, surprised, exclaimed: "How did you come up the stairs?"

In the morning, on weekdays, my brother usually dines together with Can Ren. Feng Liu spoke in a calm tone, to which Lan Feng Chen replied, "Then it remains the same, no need for excessive considerations." Can Ren clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your grace, Princess." He felt somewhat gloomy as he took a seat at the dining table

It seems to be related to the shape of the hand, making the posture appear particularly captivating. Can Renxin think this way, feeling as if facing a reflection of oneself, with a warm and serene familiarity. Can Renxin has developed a fondness for Lanfeng Chen, the posture while dining, which is unrelated to others.

Resilient yet somewhat regretful, Resilient has a fondness for certain things, seemingly without needing any reason. That piercing gaze allowed Resilient to clearly see the posture of Lan Fengchen during the meal. Serene and elegant. The five fingers holding the chopsticks had a grip that was somewhat different from the ordinary, resembling a graceful gesture, yet not entirely conventional.

He quickly said, "Since my cousin likes it, I will have the servants prepare it right away." "Leave it to me to handle," Canren said calmly. Fengliu nodded in agreement, fully aware that Canren intended to return and tidy up his belongings. However, he felt grateful to Canren, as he could have refused and sought alternatives, but Canren was unwilling to cause any displeasure to Lanfeng Chen on his account, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.

When fighting alone, it is even more disheartening for Feng Liu. His swordsmanship was defeated from the very beginning by Lan Fengchen's elusive movements and ruthless quick sword strikes. Fortunately, in terms of spear techniques, Lan Fengchen was never a match for Feng Liu, and in horsemanship, he also fell short.

Looking at Lan Feng's eager and expectant gaze, Can Ren helplessly bowed and said, "It is my honor." Lan Feng and Tu Shu Chen became extremely interested when the topic of martial arts training was mentioned. They stood up and said, "Then I will go back to change and wait for you in the training hall." After saying this, they left without even saying goodbye to Feng Liu, taking with them a waft of fragrant air.

In this era, there are no regulations in various countries that prohibit women from holding official positions. Although the number of women in the military is significantly lower than that of men, it is still quite common. It is not unusual for women to serve as commanding generals. The Lanfeng family has produced many renowned commanders and generals throughout the generations, and Fengliu Qin naturally does not wish for rare talents to be overlooked.

Like a ... ... "" with a light laugh of self-satisfaction, yet the latter half of the sentence remained unspoken. After all, at this moment, with Lan Fengchen by the side, certain inappropriate words could not be uttered. However, Can Ren had already shot a fierce glare, his eyes filled with a warning.

The court is about to engage in military action against the Shangqing Kingdom, with the war being solely overseen by Prince Qin. Unable to resist the pleas of Lan Fengchen, King Lan Feng has no choice but to take her to Chenliu, hoping that Prince Qin will later take Lan Fengchen to the battlefield for some training. Among the children of King Lan Feng, only Lan Fengchen has achieved remarkable accomplishments

Feng Liu was well aware of Can Ren's temperament, and Can Ren's cold and glaring reaction was entirely within Feng Liu's expectations. Can Ren would not be polite to Feng Liu. After regaining some composure, Can Ren apologized to Lan Feng Chen, saying: "I hope the princess will forgive me; it is truly because the princess's dining posture is too beautiful."

Lan Fengchen is deeply focused, as if immersed in a world of his own in a different space, seemingly oblivious to the tenacious actions around him. The tenacity is of no concern, yet the elegance is anxious, far from the perfect outcome that elegance desires

That night, Can Ren finally understood the reason why Lan Feng and Chen stayed at the Wang residence

Indifference to the allure of life; having seen too much from childhood to adulthood, one becomes apathetic.

Feng Liu interrupted first, saying: "The beauty of Princess Chen is indeed extraordinary, no wonder Can Ren has lost his composure. I hope you can forgive his rudeness." Lan Feng Chen, stabilizing her emotions, smiled gently and said: "Brother Feng Liu, please do not be so formal. I hope that you two will not feel constrained because of me."

Great encouragement was given to the flamboyant; otherwise, the flamboyant would have seriously doubted whether he would shamefully take his own life

The charming figure gently set down the silver chopsticks, while the morning breeze just happened to brush against her lips, which had not actually been stained at all. "Chen, it seems that..." The charming figure's words trailed off, shifting her gaze away, her tone soft and tinged with a hint of confusion.

The remnants of resilience at the base of the tower, I raised my head to gaze at the summit. The pale white figure in the morning breeze, under the gentle caress of the wind, appeared like a picturesque fragment, yet it was etched into my mind. Indeed beautiful, I marveled at the remnants of resilience, and then quickly returned to the pavilion, contemplating which items must be taken away.

The whimsical thoughts, the remnants of resilience naturally know, how many times such things have occurred in the past

"Replying to Princess Chen, I am unable to jump up, so I can only take the stairs," Can Ren replied calmly. A hint of surprise appeared in Lan Fengchen's eyes, but her thoughts quickly shifted elsewhere. "Cousin, I would like to live there; it is very close to here. The feeling of the breeze here is truly delightful. If the weather were to get a bit colder, it would certainly be even more pleasant"

The charming one sees the stubborn side, which has a terrible temper. However, the charming one knows that this aspect of stubbornness only manifests in front of oneself. At least, the charming one has never seen stubbornness lose its temper with anyone or anything else. "Like a resentful woman," the charming one mutters to oneself.

Within the royal residence, daily activities are subject to significant restrictions. Lan Fengchen is indeed very competitive, engaging in martial arts competitions with Fengliu, including archery, marksmanship, and military strategy. Consequently, Can Ren has no choice but to spend more time on the small hillside outside Chen. If Lan Fengchen were to discover that Can Ren possesses certain skills comparable to Fengliu, he would undoubtedly not let Can Ren off during future training sessions, which is certainly not what Can Ren desires.

The face of Lan Fengchen turned even redder. Can Zhan Ren finally became fully aware, realizing the inappropriateness of his words and actions. This was not an object with which he could act on his whims, and just as he was about to open his mouth to explain.

Looking at where Lan Fengchen pointed casually, and listening to his words, Feng Liu truly lost his composure. He stood there, dumbfounded, like a fool. The loft that Lan Feng referred to was none other than Can Ren's residence, and Lan Fengchen's words were almost identical in meaning to what Can Ren had said here in the past

If one can achieve prominence in the military in the future, there is hope for Lan Feng Chen. Feng Liu Qin, who has shared a deep bond of camaraderie with Lan Feng Wang through past battles, also agreed to this. Originally, Feng Liu Qin intended to take Feng Liu and Can Ren along for some training during this campaign.

As the morning breeze gently swayed before the door, within the dining room, the elegant figure leaped back, retreating. The wooden table was entirely lifted by the force, narrowly missing the retreating figure. A table full of dishes was scalding hot, yet it could not breach the figure's tight defense, being pushed aside instead.

The people of the Wangfu rise very early, and the dashing Prince Qin never neglects his martial arts, always getting up early in the morning to train. Naturally, no one in the Wangfu dares to rise later than Prince Qin. Over time, this has become a habit. In the early morning, it is also the time for practicing the piano, a habit that has been maintained for a long time

Therefore, if Can Ren were to encounter the carriages of officials or young ladies outside, he would certainly avoid them by blending in with the crowd; at the prince's residence, he would even confront Feng Liu in front of the charming Qin, although he never truly gained any advantage. In Feng Liu's eyes, Can Ren actually has a very bad temper.

The resilient gaze was fixed, causing Fengliu to secretly exclaim with delight. Fengliu had always believed that Canren was, in fact, a very narcissistic person, and the current situation reinforced Fengliu's conviction that his judgment was indeed remarkably accurate. The dining posture of Lanfeng Chen struck Fengliu as being quite similar to that of Canren.

Cang Ren, filled with anger, was about to slam the door and leave, when Feng Liu, in a carefree and triumphant manner, remarked: "Cang Ren, is it the beauty of a person or the beauty of a meal?" The response to Feng Liu came from a potted plant near the hall door, but Cang Ren had already exited through the door. The servants in the hall did not dare to breathe, yet Feng Liu was in an exceptionally good mood, leaving behind a room full of chaos, laughing heartily as he departed

Since Lan Fengchen moved into the Qin Wang Mansion, not only has he been feeling melancholic, but even Can Ren has been affected by this gloom. The tower has become a place that Lan Fengchen must visit every day. Can Ren has no choice but to wait until the early hours of the morning, after Lan Fengchen has gone to bed, to ascend to the top of the tower and experience a fragment of the tranquility he once cherished.

This is Can Ren, dining for the first time with Lan Feng Chen at the same table. Can Ren is not a reserved person; in fact, he has a somewhat unruly nature. His uncle's teachings have led him to disregard anything outside of his interests since childhood. However, he never chooses to avoid the life he must confront.

The resilient and cunning Lan Fengchen found it difficult to execute his plans. However, on this day, a sudden inspiration struck him. He usually dined with the resilient one, especially without exception in the early mornings. From now on, he would use this method to leave the resilient one with no escape. Observing the astonished expression on the face of the returning resilient one, Feng Liu felt a great sense of satisfaction.

On this day, Fengliu invited Lanfengchen to dine at his residence early in the morning. Fengliu's abode was very close to Lanfengchen's, as he had originally chosen a nearby location for the convenience of seeking Canren. After Lanfengchen arrived, Canren simply moved into Fengliu's courtyard to reside.
