Chapter 1725 Undercurrent

"100 years too early? Brat, don\'t overestimate yourself." Old Master Nan walked and sat not far from Feng Ao Kuai. He didn\'t listen to their every word because it was too tiring and if he forced himself to listen, he might fall asleep in the middle.

In a way, he was actually quite similar to his oldest grandson. He also didn\'t really like to study and heard these complicated matters that Feng Ao Kuai was versatile with.

"Grandpa," Feng Ao Kuai called politely. He smiled faintly. "Am I wrong in this matter? He wouldn\'t be able to take advantage of me."

"While it\'s true, but Mu Family is not the only one who\'s watching us." Old Master Nan passed a look at Feng Ao Kuai. "No matter what, Fourth Miss Mu is still the sister of Princess Mu. Some people might not like the fact that our family get close to the Imperial Family."

"Ah…" Feng Ao Kuai thought about Mu Fei Jiu\'s older sister and laughed. "Strictly speaking, I\'m not part of Nan Family. Even if I\'m staying in Nan Family Residence now, I\'ll get married from Feng Family Residence."

Feng Family Residence in the Capital City was right beside Nan Family Residence. It was the house that Old Master Nan bought for his daughter many years ago and had been used as Feng Family Residence.

Because it was nearby, Feng Ao Kuai just came here to accompany his grandfather while his mother and younger brother was staying in the courtyard at the side.

They would also come here occasionally.

Anyway, there was a side door to connect the two courtyards.

"Feng Family, huh?" Old Master Nan sighed.

Even if the Feng Family was considered as a relatively small family, but it was still a general\'s family. General Feng\'s prestige was high in Wind City and the areas there. Not to mention, the one in command was his younger brother, who was a bit transparent before.

Marrying family in power was good, but too much power will only cause others to pay more attention to them.

"There\'s no need to worry so much. The second prince didn\'t have real power and even if something happened to His Majesty, there are his children to take over." Feng Ao Kuai was calm. "Only some restless people will want to make a move and I can deal with them."

He had already considered this matter.

And if he were to move appropriately, this connection could be beneficial to him instead of damaging.

So Feng Ao Kuai was not worried.

He just needed to be careful.

"Alright, you have your own ideas. I\'m already old and couldn\'t help you much." Old Master Nan stood up again. "Also, you might want to stay away from Shi Long Kingdom\'s area now."

Shi Long Kingdom?

Feng Ao Kuai thought about his father who was still in Wind City but didn\'t say anything. His father was not a great general and his area of deployment still needed the approval of His Majesty or the officials.

But he hoped that his father would be fine.

After all, he didn\'t want anything to happen to his family members.

"I have no plans to get involved with the next war with either Shi Long Kingdom nor Fan Yi Kingdom." Feng Ao Kuai knew that the next target should be either one of these two kingdoms.

But he was not clear about what Emperor Yang Zhou wanted.

After all, so far, they had only been rebuilding the destruction in Zhang Xu Kingdom\'s area.

Old Master Nan didn\'t explain and replied, "You will know soon."

"Huh." Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows and nodded.

Even if he would be an official that was used by the Emperor, the most important matter for him right now was to get married. With that in thought, Feng Ao Kuai proceeded to prepare for his own wedding.

…

<Fei Yang Kingdom\'s Capital City, Prince Yang Lu\'s Residence>

Prince Yang Lu did have some business in the palace from time to time. But his power in the politics were not big and his movements were restricted. Not only that, he was usually staying in the same place as Shangguan Yu.

The two princes, who couldn\'t really get along with each other, were forced to work together again and again.

It was an understatement to say that the people under them didn\'t feel miserable.

Even the two of them didn\'t have that good face when they interacted with each other. Today as well, Prince Yang Lu was tired after dealing with Shangguan Yu and the other officials.

Some people still wanted him to rise in power.

But Prince Yang Lu knew very clearly that since Emperor Yang Zhou had hold the entire power of the court in his hand, there was basically no chance for him to even approach his half older brother.

Prince Yang Lu knew his place.

So he always refused those people\'s approach and made himself clear that he would never try to take the throne again. He had once been used as a tool by some people to take the power in the past. Now, he will never repeat the same mistake ever again.

Isn\'t it good to be an idle prince?

He only need to come to the palace occasionally for some things and then his older brother would release him. When he got back, he would be able to indulge in beauty and many other fun things.

"Your Highness," Mu Fei Xin, who has been waiting for Prince Yang Lu, curtsied when she saw him entering.

"I heard that you have something to say?" Prince Yang Lu helped Mu Fei Xin to rise. Even if the two of them were husband and wife, Mu Fei Xin still followed the standard etiquette and protocol from time to time.

In this regards, he didn\'t quite understand.

But for some reasons, he liked it.
