Chapter 144: Nanyong's Envoy
On the second day after Li Feifeng left, Nanyong's envoy came, because the marriage between Princess Yuxiang and the eldest prince of the original family could not collide with the burial of Concubine Mingyuan, so the funeral was arranged on the second day of Nanyong's envoy's arrival. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And the body of the concubine has been stored in the ice coffin for many days, and gradually it is beginning to show signs of decomposition. Therefore, the funeral of Concubine Mingyuan was carried out in an orderly manner with the participation of Nanyong's envoys, originally the concubine had no children and could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but due to Huo Mingyuan's identity, and at the same time, in order to appease Nanyong's envoys, Zhong Yang allowed Concubine Mingyuan to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
The burial of the concubine began with a boiling controversy, but ended with a mediocre formal burial. Feng Shu'an was ordered not to attend the ceremony because the wedding date was approaching, in order to avoid any collision. Therefore, on the night of the concubine's burial, Feng Shu'an could only obediently stay in Yule Palace and wait for news.
Thinking of Huo Mingyuan, who I saw for the first time in the Nanyong Palace more than three years ago, she was so noble and delicate, because of the deep and strict upbringing in the palace, she was only eighteen years old but knew how to advance and retreat and understood etiquette, neither arrogant and domineering, nor would she lose the temperament of being the eldest princess. took his imperial sister to escape from the dispute with Murong Xianwu, witty and resolute. In order to wait for the person destined by the owner, he would rather be scolded for his high vision than get married, but he didn't want to lose to fate in the end, and finally died in the cold inner courtyard of the palace in a foreign country.
Recalling the concubine Mingyuan I saw in the palace that day, her appearance is still the same, but her feelings have changed a lot, obviously she is only less than three years older than herself, but now she is sleeping in the imperial mausoleum.
Thinking about it, Feng Shu'an's hand accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table, and the tea that had already become cold hit her hand, only to slowly pull her thoughts back. She laughed at herself helplessly, she was afraid that Huo Mingyuan, the proud daughter of the sky more than three years ago, did not expect that she would die in such a decisive way three years later!
And what about herself? In this treacherous imperial city and even in the chaotic times, how long can she live, and in what form will she say goodbye to this world?
"Princess! Princess! Got the picture. Shui Mo'er, who had gone to inquire about the news, ran in, interrupting Feng Shu'an's thoughts that were about to start running around again.
"How? Who was the envoy sent by Nanyong? Feng Shu'an reacted and grabbed Shui Mo'er's sleeve, looking nervous. Originally, she didn't care about these things, but now that she heard that there was a favorite concubine of Emperor Nanyong, she was not calm. When she heard that Lu Mian was the concubine of Emperor Nanyong, she was taken aback, if it was her this time, it would be a big trouble.
"It's the king of Mingyang and the crown concubine of Nanyong." Shui Mo'er poured a full glass of water and drank it before saying.
"Crown Princess?!" Feng Shu'an's eyes widened in shock, and nine times out of ten it was a green crown, "Then can you see the appearance of the crown concubine clearly?" ”
Shui Mo'er shook her head: "No." When she attended today, she was wearing a veil all the time, and no one could see her appearance clearly, but looking at that figure, it was indeed quite exquisite, and many ministers lost their souls when they saw it, but the king of Mingyang of Nanyong followed her all day long, which discouraged those who wanted to see her face. In addition, people are always foreign guests, and no one dares to be rude. But judging from the vague outline, nine times out of ten she is a beauty, and Emperor Nanyong is really blessed......"
"Stop!" Feng Shu'an rolled his eyes helplessly, how do you feel that Shui Mo'er has become more and more immodest recently, who did she learn from her, "Then have you heard where Nanyong's envoy lives?" When to leave? ”
Shui Mo'er raised her face and frowned and thought about it: "Listen to Liang Jingyuan, the emperor will also send someone to discuss with the envoys how to compensate Nanyong, after all, people died in the hands of our people, although the murderer has been punished, but the clear-eyed person knows that the mastermind behind the scenes is the queen mother!" Nan Yong's side must also know, so I'm afraid that this compensation will have to be discussed for a while. ”
"How long is a good period of time?" Feng Shu'an's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "No, with Zhong Yang's speed, it won't take long, it seems that I have to find a time to meet them for a while." ”
"Princess! You can't call the emperor by his name! Shui Mo'er pursed her mouth, looking dissatisfied with Feng Shu'an's disrespect for Zhong Yang.
Feng Shu'an lifted his eyelids: "Liang Jingyuan told you?" Do you like people? Helping other people's masters come to me? ”
Shui Mo'er's face flushed: "The princess will make fun of people!" ”
"Alright, get serious. The stakes are high, by the way, where does the envoy live temporarily? But the inn? ”
Shui Mo'er looked at Feng Shu'an in surprise: "It's a post house!" Princess, you don't want to leave the palace, do you? The emperor has instructed that you can't leave the palace before you get married! If the emperor finds out, I will be the one who suffers! In the end, Shui Mo'er's little face became bitter melon.
Feng Shu'an glared at her angrily: "Eat things inside and outside." Anyway, this princess must meet the envoys before they leave Zhongyuan, and besides, I have lived in Nanyong for so long, and now that I see the people of my hometown, how can I talk about it? Zhong Yang...... The emperor is not an unreasonable person, don't worry, the sky will fall and your master will carry it. ”
Shui Mo'er was still very afraid that the emperor would blame her, her head turned around, and she finally thought of a way to get the best of both worlds: "That's right!" It's not impossible for you to see them, princess, but you don't have to leave the palace, you can let them enter the palace! Anyway, the matter of negotiating compensation with the emperor is mainly the responsibility of King Mingyang, and it is not interesting for the crown concubine to stay in the post house by herself, why doesn't the princess invite her openly? ”
"Direct invite?" Feng Shu'an thought about it, but still hesitated a little, "Wouldn't this be too eye-catching?" ”
"Ouch!" Shui Mo'er looked at Feng Shu'an excitedly, "Princess, aren't you about to get married?" It stands to reason that Nanyong's envoy should return to China after attending the wedding, and the crown concubine, as a woman, should convey blessings on behalf of Nanyong to the princess! At that time, you can invite the crown concubine into the palace to talk to the princess on the grounds of discussing marriage matters! ”
Feng Shu'an smiled: "It's okay like this, I'm afraid that someone will rob us of people." ”
Shui Mo'er was stunned: "What does the princess mean, Princess Jingqi?" ”
"That's right. Yuwen Jingqi is so arrogant, if she can call Emperor Nanyong's favorite concubine to add makeup to her, she will definitely be more beautiful when she gets married. So she will definitely send an invitation to the crown concubine as soon as possible, but today is the day of the concubine's burial, Jingqi is still a measured person, but I am afraid that she will be able to wait until tomorrow at most. ”
"Huh? Then Princess Jingqi must have sent someone to deliver the post early! However, the crown concubine saw that Princess Jingqi was the princess of the Yuwen family, and you were not, princess, would you ......" Shui Mo'er looked worried.
Feng Shu'an smiled instead: "No, she's not that kind of person." And I'm sure I'll get her to come to our side first. (To be continued.) )
