Chapter Seventy-Nine: Concubine Fei'er
The next day, in Fenglin City, there was a strange story circulating in the streets and alleys. It is said that some people saw with their own eyes that there are immortals and phoenixes swimming in the clouds on the west mountain of Fenglin, and legend has it that in the bright morning after yesterday's thunderstorm, there is a colorful golden phoenix, dragging the charming long tail in the clouds leisurely ups and downs, sometimes sending out the phoenix chant that is as clear as a bell chime, fluttering in the vast sea of clouds. And faintly visible on the back of the phoenix, sitting firmly on the two immortals, several ups and downs, flying over a neon after the rain, looming, and then disappeared again. People are vying to be the first to praise this anecdote, and some people predict that the phoenix will appear, and the sentence 'the one who wins the phoenix will win the world' may not be far from the time of realization.
Ning Mingchen was half-leaning on the bed, the flush on his face, which had just subsided, was flushed, his face looked as pale as paper, and his face, which had always been charming and arrogant, had lost his former brilliance.
A woman, holding a jade bowl, sat in front of the couch with low eyebrows. The woman's eyebrows are picturesque, her face is as bright as a peach and plum, a jade brocade shirt wraps her delicate body, and several simple beads and embellishments on her head make the hairstyle charming and clear, and it is more bright and moving.
The woman looked at Ning Mingchen who was listless and decadent lying on the bed with distressed eyes. Scooped a spoonful of the medicinal juice and sent it to Ning Mingchen's dry lips. Zhu Libei opened his teeth lightly, and said gently: "Lord Wang, drink the medicine, so that your illness can be cured." ”
Ning Mingchen didn't say anything, half-closed his eyes, and leaned on the couch.
There was a sad look in the woman's eyes, and she said faintly: "Fei'er knows what the prince is worried about, but it's a pity that Fei'er can't relieve the prince's worries, it's really a sin." But the prince can't be so careless about his body, which makes the mother know that she will definitely be sad. ”
Ning Mingchen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the woman in front of the bed expressionlessly, and said coldly: "How do you know why I'm worried?" ”
The woman named Fei'er was silent for a while, and then said softly: "Yesterday, the mother concubine summoned Fei'er into the palace, and she has already told Fei'er that you will marry the eldest princess of Fengli Guohuaibi. ”
Fei'er paused, her eyes were faintly red, and she said: "The mother and the princess love Fei'er very much, and Fei'er will definitely abide by her duties in the future and serve the prince and the princess with all her heart." ”
When Ning Mingchen heard this, he said in a deep voice: "The mother concubine is really worried about me, but it's too early to say this." ”
Fei'er was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at Ning Mingchen's gloomy eyes with some surprise.
"Fei'er, I'll drink the medicine, you go down first. After I went out, I told the people below to let General Zhu come to see me. Ning Mingchen closed his eyes again, leaning his head to one side on the couch.
Fei'er slowly stood up, put the jade bowl on the small table next to the couch, turned around and glanced at Ning Mingchen worriedly, and then silently walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Fei'er walked out of the bedroom with a lonely expression, moved out of the courtyard step by step, and the scene of Tu Guifei summoning her into the palace yesterday appeared in front of her.
"Fei'er, do you know why this palace just let Chen'er accept you as a side concubine?" On the Xihua Palace, Tu Guifei, who was dressed in a purple satin brocade robe and held a peony in a bun, leaned obliquely on the phoenix couch, and a maid was gently pinching her shoulders for her.
Fei'er stood silently bowed her head at His Highness.
Hearing Tu Guifei ask this, Fei'er replied cautiously: "It is the mother's special gift and favor to Fei'er, Fei'er is grateful, and my Li family is also grateful, Fei'er treats her father and thanks her mother's mercy and grace." After saying that, Fei'er fell to her knees, put her hands on the ground, and leaned over and kowtowed her head heavily.
Tu Guifei opened her half-closed eyes, glanced at Li Fei'er who was kneeling on the ground, and hooked the corners of her red lips.
He slowly spoke: "Fei'er, I like you the most, and it is the most rare to know how to repay your kindness." Then he said, "It's cold on the ground, get up quickly, and come and sit beside the palace." ”
Fei'er stood up and cautiously moved to Tu Guifei's couch, but she didn't dare to sit down rashly, just stood there meekly.
Tu Guifei got up from the couch and personally pulled Fei'er closer to the couch and asked her to sit down.
Fei'er was very flattered and hurriedly said: "Mother, I don't know what kind of training I have for my daughter-in-law to come here today?" ”
Tu Guifei gently took Fei'er's hand and said earnestly: "When the ** father was wronged, the palace tried its best to dissuade it in front of the emperor, and this saved your family." And when Bengong saw you for the first time, he liked you very much, so he asked you to marry the most precious son of Bengong. ”
Fei'er hurriedly thanked her again.
Tu Guifei said again: "You also know that Chen'er's position as the main concubine has been vacant for a long time. Now that he is in high spirits and making achievements, the matter of marrying a wife can no longer be delayed. ”
Fei'er already had some understanding of what Tu Guifei was going to say.
Tu Guifei said: "You must have heard of the eldest princess Huaibi of Fengli, this woman is not only a famous beauty in the world, but also very favored by her father, marrying her is equivalent to marrying half of the Fengli country." Therefore, only she can be worthy of being the concubine of this palace Chen'er. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Fei'er intentionally or unintentionally.
What surprised Fei'er was that Xia Xueqing had already made up her mind to be the concubine before? For this, Xia Xueqing didn't come to Duanwangfu to give herself a horse, but at this time, she was replaced by the eldest princess of Huaibi, what is going on?
"I'm afraid her marriage with Chen'er will be in the past two months, and after the wedding, she will be Chen'er's princess. Her identity is different from the ordinary, to be honest, your presence will definitely make her feel a little uncomfortable, but this is also a long-term love of people, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Chen'er will become the future king in the future. Tu Guifei's eyes were very arrogant, as if her son was already the emperor at this time.
Fei'er didn't have time to think about it, she had already understood what she meant, quickly got up, knelt down in front of Tu Guifei again, and said in a sincere tone: "Don't worry, concubine, Fei'er will never disturb the husband and wife life of the prince and the princess, Fei'er will fulfill her duties and do her duty, and at the same time, she will do her best to serve the princess and the princess for her mother." ”
I don't know how uncomfortable she felt when she said these words.
Tu Guifei helped Fei'er up with a smile on her face, took her hand and said, "Good boy, this is the good daughter-in-law of this palace." ”
Phil smiled stiffly.
Tu Guifei instructed the maid on the side: "Go, get the things." ”
The maid answered, and in a moment brought a brocade box that was not too big or small and had a very luxurious appearance. Tu Guifei opened the brocade box, and there was a dazzling light inside, which was a pair of exquisite red coral and white jade silk wisps of golden hairpins.
Tu Guifei took out the two exquisite hairpins from the box and put them on the left and right of Fei'er's bun with her own hands.
He sighed continuously: "Although it is not as good as the phoenix hairpin, but this pair of flower hairpins was also given to the palace by the emperor back then, and the palace has always been very cherished. ”
Fei'er leaned over and bowed: "Thank you for your mother's favor to Fei'er." ”
Tu Guifei smiled with her eyebrows: "But then again, this Huaibi is a princess of Fengli, after all, she is a foreigner, and Concubine Duanwang is going to be a queen in the future." Therefore, every word and deed in this ordinary life is related to the future national fortune of the Tao. So, Fei'er, there is another meaning for the concubine to summon you today, do you understand? ”
Fei'er stood there in shock, her back already drenched in cold sweat.
