Chapter 167: Portrait
"陛xià! The sub-holy father has clouds, and there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. His Majesty was busy with government affairs all day, but he forgot to continue the incense. Now that I am stable, His Majesty has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children. Why don't you take concubines early, leave blood for the royal family, and continue the incense? The ministers are brave, please ask Your Majesty, for the sake of my royal bloodline, for the sake of my Great Wei Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, draft the concubine as soon as possible, and enrich the harem! As she spoke, Li Hui knelt down on the ground.
When the ministers saw that Li Hui, who was rarely spoken, actually played the script, they all looked at each other, and did not dare to follow the crowd indiscriminately.
"I'm still young, and state affairs are important, so let's wait for two years!" Tuoba Hong didn't want to be bothered by the trivial matters of the harem so early.
"Your Majesty, the mourning family thinks that the matter mentioned by the Nanjun Gong should be carefully considered. Marrying a wife and having children can not only strengthen one's own foundation, but also greatly benefit the country, society and even the people of the two ethnic groups. Majesty really shouldn't take this matter lightly! Feng Qingru listened to Li Hui's words.
"Hong'er knows! Hong'er must take it to heart! Tuoba Hong looked like he was carefully taught.
"If Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, then leave it to the mourning family! The mourning family chooses a few gentle and frugal women for His Majesty! "Feng Qingru knew that Tuoba Hong was busy on weekdays, and he was a hard-working and self-motivated emperor.
"Then this matter will be handed over to the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother can help me choose a few satisfactory women!" Tuoba Hong was very respectful to Feng Qingru.
"Good! Since this is the case, the mourning family will do it for His Majesty! Feng Qingru smiled, and then said to the ministers, "Ministers, if there is a woman of the right age in your family, you can paint a portrait and present it to the mourning family first!" Let the mourners pick and choose first, so that they can choose later. ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
The matter of Tuoba Hongna's concubine was formed from this.
Li Hui recommended this, and returned home with a solemn face.
When he got home, he hurried into a secret room, and then bowed his head and said, "Everything is done!" But ......"
"But what?" Li Mengsheng asked softly.
"But the Queen Mother wants to paint a portrait, I don't know if Kite and Luan'er will be selected!"
"Yes! As long as you paint the portrait like Feng Zhaoyi of Emperor Taiwu. The Queen Mother misses her late aunt, so she will naturally be chosen. ”
"That's good! The old man is going to hire a painter! ”
……
Changle Palace.
Feng Qingru and the red dove gathered around the table, listlessly picking up the portrait in front of them.
"County Lord! You see, this portrait sent by the ministers. So much! You said to the court that they should send it tomorrow, but they can't wait for tomorrow and rush to send it now! It hurt us to choose for a long time, and we were dazzled! "Look at the portraits stacked on the table. But the red dove was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"Oops! I didn't expect that there would be so many women of the right age! It's a bit tiring to choose! Feng Qingru said dejectedly.
She obviously no longer has the momentum to do it single-handedly.
"Who doesn't want to get a foot in the matter of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix. Can it not be much? The red dove grumbled.
"Alas! Who should I choose? Feng Qingru cried with a sad face, and was so tired that he fell on the table.
"How's this?" The red dove shouted that he was tired, but he still didn't forget the business in his heart.
"Not good! It's so fat! Feng Qingru said with a long face.
"Where's this?" The red dove picked up another one and asked.
"Too skinny!" Feng Qingru frowned, shook his head and said.
"What about this? The woman on this is not fat or thin, right? The red dove picked up another one and asked expectantly.
"It's just right! It's just ugly! Feng Qingru said flatteringly.
"Oops! Princess! It doesn't work either. That won't work either! Which one do you choose? If you want to find a person as beautiful as the county lord, I don't think you can find it! The red dove took the portrait and said worriedly.
"Alas!" Feng Qingru lamented.
"Huh! Pregnant! ”
Just when the two didn't know how to choose, Feng Qingru thought of another ghost idea. She shouted at Li Yi, who was standing guard outside the door: "Li Yi! You come in! ”
Li Yi heard Feng Qingru's summons in the hall, so he walked into the hall in a hurry.
"I don't know what the Queen Mother commanded?" Li Yi stood in front of the table with a cold face, and said in a leaning voice.
"Whew! Throat! Feng Qingru cleared his throat first, and then pretended to say, "You are a man!" If you were asked to take a concubine, what kind of woman would you choose as your concubine? ”
"The Queen Mother is joking! Don't dare to die! Li Yi replied in fear.
Feng Qingru saw that Li Yi had misunderstood his original intention. Hurriedly stood up, walked up to him, and explained: "Alas! Don't be nervous! I'm just making assumptions, not taking it seriously! You can help! ”
Li Yi listened to Feng Qingru's sincere request for help. He let down his guard, and then slowly raised his head.
Seeing Li Yi looking up, Feng Qingru took a few portraits and handed them to Li Yi to see.
"Look at this one! This! And this! What kind of women do you like? ”
"The minister likes it, the minister likes ......" Li Yi looked at the woman in the portrait, but he was also confused.
"Ugh! Say! Go on! Feng Qingru really wanted to know what kind of woman he liked.
Li Yi saw that Feng Qingru kept asking questions, so he had no intention of looking at the portrait again. He turned his head. looked at Feng Qingru affectionately, and then said gently: "The minister likes a woman who is pure and graceful, and has a simple heart!" ”
Feng Qingru couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Yidi's words.
Who is he talking about?
"Isn't that the county lord!" The red dove looked at the two of them affectionately, but smiled evilly on the side.
"County Lord, King Changli is here!" When the three of them were speechless, Wang Yu came in to pass the word.
Li Yi heard someone coming outside the door, so he hurriedly put on a mask.
"Queen Mother!" Feng Xi called cordially as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother! You're back! Feng Qingru came back to his senses and greeted him with a smile.
"Hmmm! swept the grave of his father and mother, and moved his uncle's tomb back to Changle, back and forth, tossing and turning until now to come back! Feng Xi said calmly.
"Great work! I couldn't visit my father and mother, so I had to ask my brother to do it for me, I hope you don't blame me! At this time, Feng Qingru felt that he was a little selfish. She went to Jinling to sweep the tomb, but asked Feng Xi to sweep the tomb of her parents on her behalf.
"What a word! This is all for the sake of brothers! Feng Xi loves his sister.
"That's right! Is this a birth? Feng Qingru looked at the little boy who followed Feng Xi and asked curiously.
"I've seen my aunt!" Feng Dan is a polite child.
"Hmmm! That's good! Feng Qingru smiled and stroked Feng Dan's forehead.
"Birthday should be ten years old now, right?" Feng Qingru asked with concern. (To be continued.) )
