"Tomorrow, His Majesty will invite the ministers into the palace to practice for the envoys of the Western Xinjiang, and the palace banquet is also lively, and the Queen Mother said that if the princess is willing, she can just enter the palace to see. ”

Feng Qiao listened to her words thoughtfully.

When the Queen Mother was still Concubine Yun, they didn't have much contact, and it was really impossible to talk about the past.

As for thanking her for her kindness back then......

Xiao Jinyu recognized her as her sister and gave her the title of princess, making her status almost higher than that of the royal family's legitimate princesses, these rewards have long been enough to compensate for what she did at the beginning, not to mention that if she wants to thank her, she should have thanked her a long time ago, so why wait until today?

Feng Qiao vaguely guessed that the Queen Mother was afraid that she was looking for something, so she thought for a while and said, "Please ask my aunt to go back and tell the Queen Mother, just say that I will enter the palace early tomorrow." ”

The aunt in charge was relieved when she saw Feng Qiao agree, and she hurriedly saluted: "Then the slave won't disturb the princess's rest, and go back to the palace first to give the queen mother a life." ”

"Red Aya, send Aunt Shang out. ”

Red Aya stepped forward and led the housekeeper's aunt out.

Waiting for people to go out, Guo Lingsi spoke: "Qingqing, why did the Queen Mother suddenly summon you to the palace?"

Feng Qiao shook his head: "I don't know, what happened in the palace during this time?"

Guo Ling thought about it, frowned, and said: "There should be nothing wrong, Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs, and the harem is quite harmonious...... Oh yes, it was more than a month ago, Concubine Min didn't know why she was disgusted by the emperor, and I heard that she was punished by His Majesty and thought about it in her palace. ”

Feng Qiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Concubine Min, the Zhai family?"

"Yes. When she went to the palace first, she had a confrontation with the queen, and later she was at odds with Concubine Hui, Your Majesty didn't linger much in the harem, and because of the Zhai family's affairs, Concubine Min was more and more public, but she didn't know what she did this time, which made Her Majesty tired of her. ”

Feng Qiao chuckled as he listened to Guo Lingsi's words.

"Concubine Min is the Zhai family, Zhai Qinghao has always been dissatisfied with His Majesty's reuse of Chu Xiu and Xu Yu, and even handed over the military power in Beijing to Lu Feng, thinking that it can make His Majesty angry, nine times out of ten it is Concubine Min who said something that should not be said in order to seek benefits for the Zhai family. ”

The front and back harem have always complemented each other.

If Concubine Min wants to benefit the Zhai family, she will definitely find a way to suppress the few families that are now in power.

However, Liao Chuxiu, Xu Yu and others have always acted prudently, and it is extremely difficult for the Zhai family to catch any mistakes and omissions under ordinary circumstances, and they cannot take the opportunity to provoke the emperor's heart, and they can make the emperor's heart crack, and it happened to be more than a month ago......

Could it be that Zhai Qinghao plucked Concubine Min and used Xiao Quan's matter to attack them?

Feng Qiao vaguely guessed the truth, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, Liao Chuxiu had already entered the palace and mentioned this matter to Xiao Jinyu before the news of recognizing Xiao Quan as his brother-in-law, and the Zhai family wanted to use this matter to separate the feelings of the monarch and the minister, I am afraid that it would be a mistake.

It's just that Concubine Min was punished, and it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother calling her into the palace.

Feng Qiao couldn't think of a reason for thinking about it for a long time, so he didn't bother to think about it again.

Guo Lingsi asked, "Are you going to enter the palace tomorrow?"

"Of course. ”

Feng Qiao smiled: "Since the Queen Mother has a will, I naturally want to go, otherwise it will inevitably hurt the Queen Mother's face." Besides, although the Queen Mother is weak, she is kind-hearted, she summoned me into the palace to think that there was something else, and it happened that I was idle in the house these days, so I should go into the palace to be lively. ”

Guo Lingsi had no objection to Feng Qiao's words.

Although Feng Qiao doesn't like to mix with those banquets in Beijing, since the Queen Mother has already spoken this time, if she doesn't go, it will inevitably attract people's voices, just like she said, the Queen Mother will not hurt her.

……

The next day, when Feng Qiao came out of the mansion and got into the carriage to enter the palace, Liao Chuxiu's face was still a little bad.

Feng Qiao looked at him: "Are you still angry?"

Liao Chuxiu said: "It's not that you're angry, it's just that you're inconvenient now, what's there to go in the palace, those people in the Western Xinjiang will also enter the palace tonight, and everyone will have it at that time, what if it collides with you?"

"How can I be so fragile, and I'm not papier-mâché, and I shatter when I touch it?"

Feng Qiao smiled, stretched out his hand and took his hand: "The Queen Mother summoned me, I can't refuse, and the Queen Mother also specially allowed Lingyue to accompany me into the palace, with her to protect me, nothing will happen, besides, the palace is heavily guarded, and my husband's identity is here, how can anyone who is not long-sighted come to me for trouble." ”

Liao Chuxiu's temperament is not easy to match, when the new emperor ascended the throne, a large number of people in Jingzhong were killed or injured in his hands, and some people who were dissatisfied with the new emperor's intention to rebel were also uprooted by him with thunder.

Everyone knows that King Yongding is not easy to provoke, plus a cold and vengeful Feng Qizhou... Unless it's something wrong with her brain, who would dare to provoke her?

Seeing that Liao Chuxiu was still unhappy, Feng Qiao shook his hand lightly: "Okay, don't worry, it's just a trip to the palace." We're all together at dinner, what are you worried about?"

Liao Chuxiu snorted when he heard this, seeing Feng Qiao's rare happy appearance, he didn't want to ruin her interest, so he could only say: "Then when you go to Fengming Palace, remember to bring Lingyue, if there is something that is not long-eyed, let Lingyue fight back directly, don't let yourself be wronged." ”

Feng Qiao nodded: "Got it." ”

After the two entered the palace, Liao Chuxiu went to the imperial study, and Feng Qiao was taken to Fengming Palace in a soft sedan chair by the female official who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Because Feng Qiao was pregnant, the Queen Mother was afraid that she would be tired, and the soft sedan chair stopped at the gate of Fengming Palace, and when Lingyue carried Feng Qiao inside, she found that there was not only the Queen Mother in Fengming Palace, but also a woman with a phoenix crown and a docile appearance.

Feng Qiao leaned over and saluted: "The courtiers have seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother." ”

Lingyue knelt down and said: "The slave knocks to see the two maids, the maid is a thousand years old Jin'an." ”

Empress Dowager Yun saw Feng Qiao saluting with a big belly, for fear that she would hurt herself, so she hurriedly said: "Don't be polite, the mourning family called you into the palace today is just an ordinary reminiscence." Shang Rong, take a seat for Princess Yongding. ”

Seeing the Queen Mother speak, Lingyue got up, helped Feng Qiao sit on the stool beside her, and then quietly retreated behind Feng Qiao.

The queen has been sitting next to the Queen Mother, although she has not spoken, but since Feng Qiao came in, she has been secretly looking at her.

Feng Qiao didn't notice the queen's gaze, but the queen's eyes were not malicious when she looked at her, so Feng Qiao just pretended not to know, raised his head and chuckled at the queen mother: "I wanted to enter the palace early in the morning to visit the queen mother, but I was unwell earlier, so I delayed it, and I hope the queen mother will not blame." ”

Empress Dowager Yun smiled gently, waved her hand and said: "The mourning family knows that you are weak, and now that you are pregnant, you should have rested in the mansion, but today the mourning family summoned you to the palace, but it was tired of you." ”
