Chapter 395 Concentric knot
Outside Yuanhui Hall, Fang Weihan and Fang Tang were walking on the royal road, keeping a close distance. The biting cold wind blew their robes, and the corners of their clothes floated in the air, as if they were far away.
They were silent all the way, no one spoke.
When the outline of Zhuque Gate was in sight, Fang Tang said:
"Ninth brother."
Fang Weihan stopped and looked back at her without speaking.
The princess of the empire bit her lip and looked at him, with a hint of pleading on her face. This expression appeared on the face of Fang Tang, who was strong and stubborn, and looked very strange.
"Our surname is Fang." Fang Tang said in a low voice.
Fang Weihan didn't understand what she wanted to say for a while, so he had to remain silent,
"We are destined to be different from those aristocratic families."
Seeing that he didn't respond, Fang Tang took a step forward and looked at him sincerely with her crystal phoenix eyes.

"A country cannot tolerate two monarchs, and power can never be divided equally. The only thing that can restrain power is greater power. The so-called aristocratic family and the Fang family rule the world together, but they only regard us as containers that carry destiny."
"I don't know why you are so close to those aristocratic families, but I know that their purpose of getting close to you is not simple."
Fang Tang now understands that sulking alone, losing his temper, or making small moves will only worsen the relationship between the two of them in the end. Instead of doing this, it would be better to just be sincere.
What Fang Tang said was completely true to her inner thoughts. Fang Tang really doesn't believe in those so-called aristocratic families. If the difference between her and Fang Weihan is at most a matter of ideas, the difference between her and those aristocratic families is a class conflict between the imperial power and the aristocratic families.
Fang Weihan sighed slightly.
"Sister Huang, do you want to talk about Lingwan and Xiaojin? They and I have grown up together since childhood. We know each other well and have experienced many things together. How can we have any purpose that is not pure?"
Fang Tang suddenly discovered the loopholes in her own words. Why did it sound like she was a bad woman who instigated other people's relationships?
Fang Tang didn't bother to do this kind of thing, so she added:
"I'm not questioning your relationship, but stating a fact. Although Xie Lingwan and Xiao Jin hold great power, they cannot represent the will of the entire clan. Now the Uehara Wang family is suppressing them from outside and cannot show up, but you need to know … Wildfires cannot be suppressed.”
"Don't you think, Ninth Brother, it will be too late to regret it by then?"
Is she thinking about herself?
Fang Weihan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Fang Tang to say what he said today.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, but I have my own principles and can be responsible for what I do." Fang Weihan said.
"You..." Fang Tang looked at him angrily, secretly hating his lack of food and salt.
When will he understand that those aristocratic families are not good people?
You can cooperate with them, and you can also use them to achieve your own goals, but why should you have true feelings for them?
Fang Tang's hatred towards the aristocratic family is difficult to eliminate, and when she takes the throne, she will definitely further reduce the power of the aristocratic family. If Fang Weihan is on their side, how should she handle their relationship?
Fang Tang was distraught. She clenched her fists hard. The cold wind lingered near her ears, but it seemed to touch her soul.
"Thank you, Sister Huang, for your concern." Fang Weihan thought for a while and said thank you.
He was a little relieved that Fang Tang could say this to him today, at least treating him as one of his own.
"I'm not caring about you, I'm admonishing the future regent." Fang Tang said coldly.
She seemed to have made a decision, her pretty face was full of determination.

Fang Weihan suddenly said: "How about this, will the emperor come to my house for a casual meal during the Chinese New Year?"
Fang Tang was slightly startled.
"With whom? With your group of princesses?" The smart girl quickly reacted.
"They have always wanted to meet His Highness." Fang Weihan smiled and nodded.
The corners of Fang Tang's mouth twitched, feeling that his proposal was slightly ridiculous.
Let her meet those two eldest ladies from aristocratic families? What can they say between them? It's not like she hasn't gotten along with these ladies from aristocratic families before.
These women know some pretentious tricks, and they all think very highly of themselves, like the big white geese in the pond, looking up at people with their nostrils raised, but when it comes to real talent and learning, maybe even the peasant women in the market know more than them.
Fang Tang would rather talk about border defense tactics with the military warriors than waste time with these ladies on such nonsense as which shop's rouge looks best.
But... thinking about Fang Weihan's relationship with these two people, Fang Tang also changed his mind.
Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to test out their true and false identities, just in time for Ninth Brother to recognize their true colors, and maybe change his mind from then on?
"Okay, I will go." Fang Tang nodded lightly.
"Then it's settled, I'll be waiting for Sister Huang at the Guangling Palace." Fang Weihan said with a smile.
The two parted at the door of Zhuque.
……
Time flashed by, and the great changes that occurred in the Wang family of Changming Uehara swept across the court, and soon disappeared.
Many things happened in the fifteenth year of Xianming, and the people were eager to have a good year.
Today is the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, New Year’s Eve. It was also the day that Fang Tang had agreed to come to Guangling Prince's Mansion for dinner.
Early this morning, everyone in the Guangling Palace became busy.
"Husband! Wait!"
Xie Lingwan walked over quickly and took Fang Weihan's hand.
"What's wrong?" Fang Weihan rubbed her soft, boneless hands, held them in his hands and let out a sigh.
Wanwan has a cold constitution and her palms are always cold, but she especially doesn't like wearing gloves.
Whenever she asked herself about this matter, she would always say confidently:
"I want to write! How can I hold the pen with gloves on!"
Xie Lingyuan raised the corners of her mouth, raised her arms slightly, held a knot made of red thread between her delicate white fingers, and dangled it playfully.
"This is the concentric knot I just made, doesn't it look good?" she said as if taking credit for it.
Miss Xie is proficient in almost all skills that a young lady from aristocratic families should be proficient in, including female celebrities.
In fact, given her distinguished status as a great monk of the Five Elements, allowing her to make such gadgets is really overkill.
"It looks good. Of course the things made by Wanwan are good-looking." Fang Weihan gently picked up the scattered hair on her forehead, pushed it behind her ear, and pinched her small and delicate earlobe.
The girl's earlobes instantly revealed a slight pink color, whether it was from embarrassment or happiness.

"I still remember that five years ago you gave me a puppy made of some unknown stuff, and I put it in the bedroom. When I woke up at night, I forgot about it, and then I turned around and found it next to me. There was a dog that almost scared me out of my mind. I thought I had encountered a ghost dog..."
Fang Weihan sighed.
Thinking of what happened back then, Xie Lingwan smiled and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons.
"What a ghost dog? That's a puppy I spent a long time making up!" She twisted Weihan's waist, but it was of no use at all.
"What is it compiled this time?" Fang Weihan asked.
He looked at the concentric knot hanging on Xie Lingwan's fingertips. It seemed to be a naive dragon?
"A fat-headed dragon?"
"It's a horned dragon. He's not fat at all. This is called mighty." The girl pursed her lips slightly and pulled up the corner of his clothes with a smile.
"I'll hang it up for my husband!"
Xie Lingwan took out the thread, flipped it with her delicate fingers, and sewed the round, fat-headed dragon to the corner of Fang Weihan's robe in a few clicks.
"With the concentric knot hanging on my body, my husband will be mine this year!" Xie Lingwan shook his arm like a little girl, smiling brightly.
"What about next year? Will it be the next year?" Fang Weihan asked.
"Same next year, the year after that, and for the rest of my life!" Xie Lingwan glared at him slightly angrily and said.
"Wanwan is so cruel. She actually wants to tie her husband to her side for the rest of her life. She won't even take two days off. She's so overbearing." Fang Weihan sighed.
"He is cruel and domineering. Isn't it natural for my husband to accompany me?" Xie Lingyuan snorted.
She narrowed her eyes, and there was something dangerous in her familiar smile.
"Or are you saying that your husband is tired of it?"
"Of course not." Fang Weihan immediately expressed his attitude.
"Hmph." The girl waved her hand, "Go ahead and get back to work and come back early for dinner in the evening."
"Don't worry, madam."
After watching Fang Weihan leave the palace, Xie Lingwan turned back and found Tao Yunjiang and Xiao Jin busy in the backyard. Xiao Jin was cleaning the fallen leaves in the backyard, while Tao Yunjiang was pasting Spring Festival couplets on the gate of the backyard.
"Stop being busy now and come over here. I have some good things here." Xie Lingyuan greeted the two of them.
"Hey, Lingwan? Okay! Wait a minute, I don't have much time to spare here..."
The gate to the backyard of the palace was very impressive and was as tall as three people. Tao Yunjiang had to stand on three stacked stools to reach the top.
The three stools were rickety and looked very unstable.
Tao Yunjiang tried his best to stand on tiptoes and slapped the spring couplets covered in batter against the top of the door.
"It'll be ready soon...ah!"
The pagoda of stools fell over, and she lost her balance and fell directly from the top.
"Be careful..." As soon as Xie Lingwan finished speaking, she saw Tao Yunjiang slapped his palm on the ground, used the force to counter the shock, and landed gracefully on the ground.

"Hmph, I have walked past plum blossom piles, and just three stools want to frame me!" Tao Yunjiang put his hands on his hips, feeling proud.
Xie Lingwan: "..."
"What good stuff? Lingwan?" Tao Yunjiang finished talking and looked at her expectantly.
"Here, this is the concentric knot I just knitted." Xie Lingwan conjured up a big red concentric knot out of nowhere.
It just so happens that Tao Yunjiang also likes to wear red clothes, so this color matches well.
"Wow, thank you Lingwan, you are so kind!" Tao Yunjiang hugged her, rubbed her cheek, and narrowed his eyes, looking very happy.
Xie Lingwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With her quiet temperament, she wasn't used to such enthusiastic kissing, but she couldn't push Tao Yunjiang away, so she had to rub it in cooperation.
There was really nothing that could be done against Yun Jiang, and Miss Xie was very discouraged.
And Tao Yunjiang was really happy.
Ever since she was little, she has never been given a love knot by anyone else. The maker of this thing is either my mother or a close friend.
In the past, Tao Yunjiang didn't have a mother or a best friend, so naturally he couldn't get together.
Xie Lingwan was the first person to knit a knot of hearts for her during the Chinese New Year.
"What is this embroidered on? A little tortoise?" Tao Yunjiang stared at the concentric knot and asked like a curious baby.
"..." Xie Lingwan explained patiently, "This is Yinglong, and those two are its wings, not the turtle shell."
"Oh, Yinglong, I know!" Tao Yunjiang suddenly realized, but was a little worried, "But is it really okay for me to bring this thing? I'm not a member of the royal family."
Xie Lingwan chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, the Fang family only restricts five-clawed golden dragons, Yinglong and the like are not included. During the New Year, if you tie the knot with a dragon, your luck will be more prosperous in the coming year."
"Let me tie it for you."
"Yeah, thank you Lingwan!" Tao Yunjiang clasped his hands together and was moved to tears.
In this appearance, there is no trace of the cold Qingming leader. She is obviously a little girl who has not grown up.
Xie Lingwan embroidered the concentric knot on Tao Yunjiang's clothes, and then she found Xiao Jin.
At this moment, Miss Xiao is closing her eyes and using her power to control three brooms. The brooms are dancing vigorously, sweeping away the fallen leaves in the garden with the force of the wind and the remaining clouds.
"Are you sweeping the floor or fanning the air?" Xie Lingyuan asked after looking at it for a while.
"You don't understand. This is art." Xiao Jin said calmly, "Since I am a cultivator, I cannot sweep the floor like a mortal. I should use the way a cultivator sweeps the floor."
Xie Lingwan nodded thoughtfully.
She waved her hand, summoning a large ball of water, and controlled it to roll in a circle along the ground in the backyard. The originally slightly dusty bluestone ground instantly took on a new look.
Xie Lingwan threw away the water balloon and glanced at Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin: "..."
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, her round shoulders trembled slightly, and her chest kept rising and falling.

"I embroidered a concentric knot for you." Xie Lingwan said.
"What? Are you so kind?" Xiao Jin was a little surprised.
She took the Tongxinknot from Xie Lingyuan and looked through it.
"Well, you did pretty well. It's up to my eight-point standard." Xiao Jin said calmly.
"I don't know who spread the news that the eldest daughter of the Lanling Xiao family knows nothing about female celebrities. It is said that it was because she was lazy when she was a child..." Xie Lingwan said quietly.
"Who? What bastard said that! I will definitely not be able to spare her." Xiao Jin slapped the broom and became angry.
Forget it, it’s Chinese New Year, give her a step down.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong." Xie Lingyuan sighed.
"Hmm...what is this embroidery about?" Xiao Jin asked.
"Jiaolong." Xie Lingwan replied, "Do you need me to help you embroider it? If you have a needle and thread and want to sew it yourself, just pretend I didn't tell you."
"Need." Xiao Jin replied immediately.
Xie Lingwan: "..."
She had to help Xiao Jin sew the concentric knot together.
After doing all this, Xie Lingwan walked out of the backyard, turned around the corridor, and came to a secluded courtyard.
Even though the door was ajar, she knocked politely.
"Ow?"
It was a fat bird that opened the door for her.
Xie Lingyuan scratched its chin and asked, "Is your master at home?"
"Ouch!" Yu Mo felt comfortable being touched by her and nodded happily.
Xie Lingwan poured out a dozen boxes of snacks from the space spirit ring and threw them to it one after another: "Take these and eat them. If you don't have enough, ask me for more."
The hopeless Yu Mo shed tears of emotion from the corner of her mouth.
Xie Lingwan crossed the threshold and saw the girl in white who was as pure as a fairy. Even though it was not the first time she saw it, she would still be amazed by her appearance. It was an otherworldly beauty, so beautiful that it was unreal, as if she was not a person existing in this world, but a star in the distant sky.
"Sister Wen, I embroidered a concentric knot for you." Xie Lingyuan said with a smile.
Wen Zhexue's eyes were soft, and she did not sense the slightest malice from the girl in front of her.
This is her brother's original fiancée, so of course she has to build a good relationship with her.
"Didn't you kill her?" Anmian asked in surprise.
"I changed my mind." Wen Zhexue said, "That will make Xiaohan sad, and I don't want to make him sad."
"So you want to?"

"Fair competition, waiting for opportunities to steal homes." Wen Zhexue said.
"Where did you learn all these words..." Dark Side held his forehead.
"Thank you, Lingwan." Wen Zhexue took the concentric knot from her hand and played with it carefully.
"This is... Chilong?" Linyuan Yuchen, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, recognized it at a glance.
"Well, let me sew it up for Sister Wen." Xie Lingwan said softly.
"Thank you Lingwan."
Xie Lingwan knelt down gently, pulled a corner of her white skirt, and took out her needle and thread. And there was another concentric knot hanging on her own green skirt.
Wen Zhexue took a look and found that it was a cute, chubby dragon.
But why did she hang up the horned dragon?
