147. One hundred and forty-seven, the box

The people in the room were silent for a while, but it was the Empress Dowager who opened her mouth first, she looked at Fu Hui and said, "How did your father enter the palace?" ”

If the Empress Dowager deliberately wanted to embarrass Fleur before, in fact, Fluff was a little insignificant, firstly, she was prepared in her heart, and secondly, she also knew the Empress Dowager's intentions. But for the Empress Dowager's sentence as if she was really just unintentionally curious, and there were not too many malicious words, Fu Hui obviously felt a feeling of being humiliated and embarrassed.

Maybe she still hasn't been able to break free from the shadow that Xia Guogong brought her, for Xia Guogong, Fu Hui has always cared, so she can't do meaningless fluctuations in her heart.

But every time she heard Xia Guogong, Fu Rui couldn't help but set up a thick guard for herself, and reflexively didn't want anyone to see the fluctuations in her heart.

So she just raised her head expressionlessly, glanced at the Empress Dowager, and her tone didn't seem to change, but she said softly: "The concubine doesn't know either, maybe my father has something to do with the concubine." ”

She replied plainly, she couldn't satisfy the curiosity of the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager was not a person with too much curiosity in the end, although she faintly felt that this matter seemed to be a little out of her control, but she didn't say anything, just said in a light tone: "Since your father has already entered the palace, and the emperor has also sent someone over, then don't delay on the side of the mourning family, go over!" ”

"Yes."

Fleur lowered her head and answered.

Then he slowly got up and left the main hall.

Outside the palace of the Empress Dowager, sure enough, a close palace person beside the emperor was already waiting outside the door.

When the palace man saw Fleur, a courteous smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly came up to salute, and then said to Fleur: "Niangniang, the emperor and the grandfather are now waiting for Niangniang in Fengqi Palace." ”

Hearing this, Fleur didn't have an excited look on her face, just nodded.

She walked slowly out with the palace man, and after walking for a long time, she regained a little impression in her blank mind, and she only instinctively asked, "When did Grandpa Guo come?" ”

When the palace people heard this, they were not curious, but replied respectfully: "Grandpa Guo is the emperor who asked to see him in the imperial study after the emperor went down to court, and then the emperor took Grandpa Guo to Fengqi Palace, and also ordered the slave to come back to Niangniang." ”

Fu Yuan nodded, and let the palace people help her sit on the phoenix chariot when she came.

Fengqi Palace and the palace of the Empress Dowager are not close, but they are far away.

Fu Yuan only felt that she was the phoenix chariot who had just sat down, and in a blink of an eye, the phoenix chariot stopped at the gate of the Fengqi Palace.

She was supported down by the palace people, looked up at the Fengqi Palace where the palace door was wide open at this time, hesitated for a while, and only under Caixia's reminder did she regain her deep thoughts and walk towards the gate.

She didn't know what was waiting for her, but she instinctively didn't want to face it, just afraid that she would face the ugly side.

She was especially afraid that the Xia Kingdom Guild would not show itself like a father in front of her.

Fortunately, when Fu Rui walked into the main hall of Fengqi Palace, he did not see Xia Guogong in his impression, on the contrary, Xia Guogong cleaned up today, it seems to be more energetic than in the past, although his face still has traces of fun and wine in the past, but at least his eyes are clear, which is much better than Fu Rui expected.

Zhao Jinyan sat at the top, with a slight smile on his face, not attentive, but the atmosphere seemed to be not bad.

When Fleur walked into the main hall, the two men who were arguably the most important in her life turned their heads to look at her.

Xia Guogong's face seemed to have an embarrassed look, but Zhao Jinyan calmly greeted Fu Hui and asked Fu Hui to sit beside him.

Fu Yuan nodded, her eyes didn't look at Xia Guogong, but walked straight to Zhao Jinyan's side, her chest and back were very straight, and even a little stiff. When Fleur sat down, Zhao Jinyan couldn't help but hold Fleur's hand, as if to relieve her tension, Zhao Jinyan's fingertips gently rubbed the back of Fleur's hand.

Fu Rui smiled reluctantly, looked at Xia Guogong, and did not speak.

And Fu Yuan's reaction, Xia Guogong looked at it, although he was also embarrassed on his face, but he had the heart to play a round, so he opened his mouth and said softly: "Niangniang, yesterday's incident has made Niangniang suffer." ”

Xia Guogong's tone was a little stiff, but it also had an obvious polite meaning, and even the salutation was actually intentionally polite.

But this politeness and estrangement made Fleur feel more comfortable.

She shook her head, and finally replied softly, "It's okay...... Grandpa Guo entered the palace today, but is there something wrong? ”

When Xia Guogong heard this, his eyes didn't feel sour, but he still smiled reluctantly and said softly: "There is something." ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the attendants behind him, and several attendants understood, took out two large boxes, and placed them in the middle of the main hall. Then Xia Guo said openly: "Back then, when your grandmother passed away, she left some things behind and asked me to hand them over to you, but over the years, I haven't found a chance, yesterday ...... That's why I brought it to you today. ”

The box is naturally a good box, made of high-quality golden silk nanmu, but I am afraid that the objects contained in it are also valuable.

When Fleur saw these two big boxes, her first reaction was that she was at a loss.

She subconsciously looked at Zhao Jinyan, Zhao Jinyan faced this, but said very calmly: "Since it is given by the elders, then you can accept it!" ”

"But ......"

Fleur naturally knew that it was indeed natural for her to accept this thing, but she still felt awkward in her heart.

Not only because this thing was sent by Xia Guogong, but also because of the original owner of these things.

Xia Guogong can be so ridiculous, in fact, Fu Hui has always known that there is another person who has contributed to this, and that is her grandmother, the former lady of Xia Guogong's mansion.

This lady left quite early, at least before Fleur was a minor, but this lady, in Fleur's childhood, has always had a bad impression.

Since she was a child, in addition to envying others for having a father to rely on, she actually envied other people's families and kind grandmothers, but at this point, Fleur never seemed to have the opportunity to enjoy this family affection.

Mrs. Xia, for Fleur, is really not a kind grandmother, and even the hateful Cheng dΓΉ can reach the unkind Cheng dΓΉ.

If it weren't for the fact that Fu Hui herself had a strong mother and a little royal blood in her background, this grandmother didn't know how she would rely on her identity as an elder to toss her and toss the eldest princess of Jinyang.

But Rao is the background of Fu Hui and the eldest princess of Jinyang is something that Mrs. Xia dare not move, and it does not prevent Mrs. Xia from being a demon behind her back.

Fleur is not close to this grandmother, in addition to the fact that this grandmother has always disliked her, is not close to her, and even intuitively expresses her displeasure with her and the eldest princess of Jinyang in front of outsiders, there is another reason, which is also that Fleur has some diaphragms in her heart.

Xia Guogong's first concubine, that is, Xia Guogong's cousin, is actually the grandmother's own niece, and it is said that the other party's background should be good, but Mrs. Xia's maiden family committed something in the early years, and it declined.

And the other party was able to successfully mix with Fleur's parents, if there was no Mrs. Xia to make a fuss in it, Fleur would not believe it, at least the expression of Mrs. Xia that she saw after she became sensible further proved the thoughts in Fleur's heart.

Mrs. Xia has always maintained her niece tightly, and Xia Qingling, the daughter born to Xia Guogong and this cousin, makes Mrs. Xia love her like something, no matter what occasion she attends, she always takes it with her.

So much so that after raising Xia Qingling's ambition, she even recommended a pillow for her emperor's uncle and entered the palace.

Sometimes, Fleur always can't help but think badly in her heart, thanks to her grandmother, she didn't live long, otherwise there is such an elder with a pestle, that is, there is not much contact in daily life, but the diaphragm responds all the time, which really makes people feel like a fish in the throat.

But now, it was such a grandmother who did not want to see her, and she had left her a lot of things, and Fleur was not only surprised, but also incredulous.

Xia Guogong saw the hesitation on Fu Yuan's face, thought about it, and said softly: "Your grandmother, in fact, before she died, she already regretted it a little, after all, you are the only granddaughter, but she didn't have time to regret doing something, so she told me such a thing when she was dying." ”

What Xia Guogong didn't say was that in fact, Mrs. Xia blessed Xia Guogong to hand over things to her when she saw Furui, but at that time, her cousin kept provoking on the side that Furong was not filial, and her grandmother was sick like this and didn't come to see it, and said that the eldest princess of Jinyang had always been domineering and discordant with Mrs. Xia, so they sent things away, but they were afraid that they would be thrown away.

When Xia Guogong heard this, he lost the idea of sending things over, so the things were put away by him at will, and after that, he slowly forgot about it.

It wasn't until later, after his cousin left, that when he collected the relics, the things were actually found in his cousin's room.

Xia Guogong was actually not confused, naturally he knew that his cousin was greedy for these things, and it was estimated that he originally planned to give their daughter Xia Qingling a dowry, but Xia Qingling did such things at the beginning, and the eldest princess of Jinyang, who was annoyed and angry, threw them directly into the palace, and didn't bring anything, and then cut off contact with the house, and this batch of things has been stored on her side.

But when people die, the lights go out, and there is no point in pursuing them.

And his cousin's death had something to do with the eldest princess of Jinyang, Xia Guogong naturally couldn't help but lean over there at that time, and when the thing was found, it was just for Xia Guogong to be thrown back into the warehouse.

If it weren't for yesterday, in fact, the fate of these things would have been either privately ignored by Xia Guogong's concubines, or they would have been stored in the zΓ i treasury forever.

But many explanations, saying it, only made the father-daughter relationship that had already estranged them worse now, so Xia Guogong didn't say it.

And when Fu Hui heard Xia Guogong's words before, it was Ying Ying Zhuo who recalled the events of the year.

In fact, when Mrs. Xia died, Furao was still young, and the eldest princess of Jinyang also took Furao and Xia Yuelang back to visit the patient, but Mrs. Tai at that time was just sick in bed, and her spirit was still good, and when she saw the eldest princess of Jinyang and their family, she and her good niece made a sarcasm of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and deliberately expressed her love and praise for Xia Qingling in front of Furao.

Where is the eldest princess of Jinyang who can bear this kind of anger, seeing this, she directly taught Mrs. Xia's niece and Xia Qingling a hard lesson, and then took Furao and Xia Yue Lang away, and then although there was news that Mrs. Xia was seriously ill and even unconscious, the eldest princess of Jinyang naturally would not come to the door again.

Later, the news of Mrs. Xia's death suddenly came out, but in fact, the eldest princess of Jinyang and Fu Yuan were a little surprised.

may have made such a fuss during Mrs. Xia's lifetime, and there were rumors that Mrs. Xia was angry to death by the eldest princess of Jinyang at that time. So even taking them to the funeral was full of anger, and they were not very eager.

And among them, what Xia Guogong said today, Fu Hui really didn't know from beginning to end, and there was no way to know.

Although Fu Yuan's attitude was not clear, Zhao Jinyan had already said that he would accept it, so Xia Guogong also let go of the worries in his heart and got up to say goodbye.

Neither Fu Hui nor Zhao Jinyan went to stay.

After Xia Guogong left, Fu Yuan looked at the box placed in the main hall, and her heart was full of feelings.

Zhao Jinyan saw Fu Yuan's puzzled look, but explained softly: "When I came back yesterday, I left people in Xia Guogong's mansion, and according to those people's returns, Xia Guogong seems to have chosen the first change, and I really want to work hard to repair the relationship between you and my uncle." Early in the morning, he even found a housekeeper to send all the concubines in the house to Zhuangzi, and the concubines also invited Mrs. Xia to invite some old grandmothers to discipline them. ”

"Really......"

After hearing this, the emotion in Fleur's heart was unexpectedly calm.

She just said with a slight mockery at the corner of her mouth: "I'm afraid that now it's just a plan, and it's not implemented at all!" ”

It's not that Fu Hui doesn't have confidence in Xia Guogong, but because she has been disappointed too many times, she no longer has any confidence, so when she heard Zhao Jinyan's words at this time, she just nodded, and there was not much fluctuation.

Zhao Jinyan saw Fu Yuan's reaction, but couldn't help but say a few good words for Xia Guogong.

"I looked at his posture this time, but it was true, but I was afraid that he really made up his mind. What's more, when a man reaches your father's age, the color of wine is actually not so important, think about it in the future, he actually still needs to have an heir who will give him a pot after his death and be able to inherit the family business of the Xia Guo Mansion. He originally suspected that his uncle was not a parent, and he had no male heirs under his knees, and even if he did, it would be impossible for him to inherit the family business beyond his uncle, so he inevitably let loose his wreckage to paralyze himself. Now that he knows that his uncle is his own son, this will not be the case. ”

Fleur smiled reluctantly, in fact, at this time, there was not much meaning.

However, it is true that as Zhao Jinyan said, it is better to be able to change than to change nothing.

She thought about it, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Jinyan: "Then what is his attitude towards my mother?" ”

For the children, they may want to mend the relationship, but yesterday, Xia Guogong didn't seem to be so simple about the things that separated the eldest princess of Jinyang, that is, he said everything, and Xia Guogong still complained about the eldest princess of Jinyang in his heart.

And Zhao Jinyan listened to Fu Yuan's question, and did not answer positively, as if comfortingly, he said: "It's a matter between elders, and we don't have to worry about it." And his mother-in-law is a royal princess, where he can be lazy, he can be lazy at will, and if he wants to ask for peace, he can ask for peace. ”

Zhao Jinyan is obviously a very typical royal man, even the object in his mouth is Furui's father, and he is ruthless.

Mo said that the eldest princess of Jinyang is the most noble among the princesses of this generation, and she is Zhao Jinyan's aunt, in fact, she is an ordinary royal princess, no matter how prominent her family background is, she can only provide for it, how can she be as lazy as Xia Guogong.

Although this dynasty did not define the matter of concubines, if the princess has a child, the concubine does not dare to take a concubine at will, that is, the princess has no children, and the concubine wants to take a concubine, then the princess must be willing and have the permission of the royal family.

This is almost a conventional thing, and the partial-born Xia Guogong really put the royal face on the ground and stepped on it.

Speaking of this matter, in fact, Zhao Jinyan was also dissatisfied with his father and the empress dowager, at the beginning, these two people should not be too selfish, but if they have a little idea to take care of their relatives, in fact, Xia Guogong did not dare to be so rampant.

Of course, these things have already passed, and it is meaningless to talk about them now, after all, everything that should have happened has happened.

But if Xia Guogong can easily reconcile with the eldest princess of Jinyang, Zhao Jinyan will definitely be unhappy in his heart.

Fortunately, the character of the eldest princess of Jinyang is actually well known to everyone.

Xia Guogong wants to get the forgiveness of the eldest princess of Jinyang, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, not to mention that Xia Guogong doesn't seem to have this intention now, it seems that he only wants to repair the relationship with his children, and he has no intention of apologizing to the eldest princess of Jinyang.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinyan's heart began to be a little unhappy again, Xia Guogong's approach obviously touched the bottom line of Zhao Jinyan, a person who protects his shortcomings.

Fu Yuan didn't know Zhao Jinyan's psychological activities, but when she heard Zhao Jinyan say this, she also felt that there was some truth, they really didn't have a position to meddle in these things, and they were afraid that the more they helped, the more chaotic they were.

She only sighed softly in her heart, and when her eyes moved to the pile of things placed in the middle of the main hall, her brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"These things?"

Fleur really doesn't know what to do with it, if you don't look at it and put it directly into the warehouse, it seems that something is wrong.

"It's good to open it and take a look, Xia Guogong's Mansion started with military merits, and the family background is not shallow, some things are not comparable to those collected in the palace, your grandmother, her mother's family was also a prosperous family back then, I am afraid that I have saved a lot of good things."

Zhao Jinyan had no impression of that Mrs. Xia at all, but he had also heard of Mrs. Xia's attitude towards the Fu Hui family, so in his mind, this deceased elder was even worse than a stranger.

But what she left behind was not guilty, and it was used to fill Fleur's private treasury, but it killed two birds with one stone.

After all, this is also what Fluff deserves.

Fu Hui heard the meaning of Zhao Jinyan's words, but she was a little funny and angry.

She beckoned Caixia to open the box and take a closer look at it herself.

I haven't looked at it carefully, but I was shocked by the value of the things collected inside, Fleur has not seen good things, not given by the palace, that is, the eldest princess of Jinyang bought it for her from outside, and they are all compared to the best, but this box of priceless things still makes Fleur have a feeling of seeing the world.

She looked at Zhao Jinyan, Zhao Jinyan glanced at the pile of things, and was not moved, but said in a flat tone: "It is indeed a good thing, but it is best to fill your private treasury." ”

Fleur originally looked at this pile of things, Rao is heart was complicated, and she couldn't help laughing at this moment.

The mood relaxed, and Fleur was also interested, and lowered her body to examine the contents of the box.

It's just that Fleur just bent down to take a closer look, and a strong fragrance in the box made Fleur a little dizzy, and her chest was stuffy and faintly nauseated.

She subconsciously took two steps back, but the disgusting taste in her chest could not dissipate, and her stomach churned more and more, Fleur's face was pale, and she only covered her mouth and gaged while holding her chest.

Zhao Jinyan was also taken aback by Fleur's sudden reaction, and almost immediately got up from the chair, came to Fleur's side, held her hand, and said again and again: "What's the matter, what's uncomfortable?" ”

After that, he ordered the palace people who were stunned by the change below: "Why don't you go and ask the imperial doctor soon." ”

After saying this, Zhao Jinyan seemed to have thought of something again, and instructed the palace people again: "Close the box, and the imperial doctor will come over later, and let the imperial doctor check it carefully." ”

Fu Hui is still fine, this close to the box, but he made this reaction, if this box is fine, Zhao Jinyan naturally does not believe it.

He also faintly regretted in his heart, he seemed to be overconfident, he only felt that he had figured out enough of Xia Guogong's thoughts, and even let the unchecked box go directly to Fleur's face, if Fleur had something happen to him, he was afraid that he would not forgive himself.
