Chapter 23: Advice
After carefully analyzing what happened at the lotus banquet, Princess Hanyue did not come to any surprising conclusions, but out of an intuition, she first set her eyes on the eldest girl of the Feng family, who had not been revealed.
Therefore, as soon as the news that Zhao Youjun was sent to Ciyun Nunnery came out, Princess Hanyue subconsciously connected this matter with Feng Zhige, who made her unable to see through.
Such a conclusion has no basis and can only be regarded as an inexplicable intuition.
Even, even Princess Hanyue herself didn't believe this conclusion.
It was precisely because she didn't know why she cared so much about Feng Zhige, who was not at all conspicuous in the whole thing, so Princess Hanyue was extremely careful and serious when she looked at Feng Zhige.
Although the face of the girl in front of her has not yet grown, it is not at all immature as it is usually seen on the face of a girl of this age, she is well-dressed and her appearance is beautiful and refined.
No matter how you look at it, this is a daughter of everyone who is no different from other boudoir girls.
If there is anything more special, it is that this eldest girl of the Feng family still has a faint expression when facing her as a princess, not the kind of pretense of indifference that wants to attract her attention, Princess Hanyue is very sure that this eldest girl of the Feng family is really flat in her eyes, she doesn't seem to realize that she is standing in front of the pearl of the current emperor's palm.
This doesn't seem to be very abrupt, but when you think about it, it just shows the uniqueness of this eldest girl of the Feng family.
Because she has been favored since childhood, Princess Hanyue is the one that those nobles in Beijing can only look up to, even if she is the favored daughter of the minister's family, she can only show their awe and admiration in front of her.
There used to be such a saying among the nobles in Beijing that if Old Man Han could have a daughter of the same age as Princess Hanyue, he might be able to not fall behind in front of Princess Hanyue.
Old Man Han is not only highly respected by the emperor today, but also the Han family is a family of hundreds of years of poetry and books, and the daughter who has been taught is afraid that she will be more than the royal princess.
Still, everyone knows. Old Man Han has no daughters.
So for so many years, the only person in the capital who can be called a pearl can only be Princess Hanyue.
And Feng Zhige, who stood not far from Princess Hanyue, grew up in a small place like Huzhou. It is said that even if she is the daughter of the Houmen, she should be somewhat touched by the small family spirit of the daughter's family who came out of a small place.
But on the contrary, Feng Zhige not only couldn't see the little family spirit at all, but could also straighten his back indifferently in front of Princess Hanyue.
If there are outsiders present at this time, they will definitely find that Feng Zhige's momentum is not weaker than that of Princess Hanyue.
Of course, Princess Hanyue can feel this too.
Especially. The current situation is that Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao broke into this courtyard privately, and they may even hear the most secret things in Princess Hanyue's heart.
Isn't she afraid of being silenced?
Princess Hanyue thought so.
Being watched by Princess Hanyue like this, and hearing her temptation, Feng Zhige smiled slightly, "The princess said that she laughed, the only one who could be called her aunt by the princess was the eldest princess of Qingping back then, but everyone in the world knows that the eldest princess of Qingping died of illness twenty years ago." How could he be sent to Tsz Yun Nunnery twenty years later? The Hou Mansion did send an aunt to Ciyun Nunnery recently, but it was just an aunt who volunteered to pray for the blessings of the Hou Mansion, princess, didn't you recognize the wrong person? ”
These words not only blocked Princess Hanyue's temptation, but also made Princess Hanyue unable to refute it at all, let alone make a fuss.
Whether she knew it or not, since this matter had come to an end in the hands of her father, she could only admit the fact that the eldest princess of Qingping died early twenty years ago.
Otherwise, she would be openly questioning her father.
Something like that. Of course Princess Hanyue won't do it.
It's just that Princess Hanyue can't let Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao go because of this.
It can be seen from the expressions of Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao that it must be Mu Xiaoxiao who is behind the window. Princess Hanyue wasn't sure if Mu Xiaoxiao had heard her talk to herself, and if she did, would she think about it too much, but for her, as long as Mu Xiaoxiao had the possibility of hearing that sentence, she definitely couldn't keep her!
Even though. She's going to get blood on her hands because of it!
Princess Hanyue is actually not a cruel and murderous person, even the willfulness that was favored by her father when she was a child was all wiped out overnight after the age of ten.
If possible, she didn't want to touch Mu Xiaoxiao, since she would send an invitation to Mu Xiaoxiao, she naturally had a certain understanding of Mu Xiaoxiao, with the vision she had cultivated over the years, she could see that Mu Xiaoxiao was really a very simple girl.
However, she couldn't let the secret in her heart leak out of any way.
It would be terrible if it was really because of one of her negligences.
Therefore, Princess Hanyue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had suppressed all the unbearability in her heart.
She looked at Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao's tightly clasped hands, and was silent for a long time before she spoke: "The eldest girl might as well take the first step, your cousin has closed the eyes of the palace, and the palace wants to keep her to talk for a while." ”
Feng Zhige squinted slightly.
Looking at this, Princess Hanyue didn't want Mu Xiaoxiao to walk out of this courtyard.
The reason why she came out to look for it when she noticed that Mu Xiaoxiao did not return to the Spring Festival banquet in time was that she was afraid that Mu Xiaoxiao would not know what she should not hear and see when she heard and saw it, but she didn't expect that she was still a little late.
When Feng Zhige found this courtyard, he happened to see Mu Xiaoxiao facing a half-open window with a shocked face.
can make Princess Hanyue open her mouth to leave Mu Xiaoxiao behind, presumably, Mu Xiaoxiao really heard Princess Hanyue's secret, or Princess Hanyue thought that Mu Xiaoxiao heard her secret.
After all, with Mu Xiaoxiao's simple and unbending temperament, even if he really heard something, he probably wouldn't be able to understand the real meaning.
But the key is that Princess Hanyue has obviously decided that Mu Xiaoxiao is harmful to her.
In Feng Zhige's opinion, Princess Hanyue is just a somewhat pitiful little girl, if she can, she doesn't want to be an enemy of Princess Hanyue, but if Princess Hanyue wants to move Mu Xiaoxiao, then she can't say it, she has no choice but to meet Zhao Tiannan's pearl in the palm of her hand.
Holding Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, and then pushing her behind him, Feng Zhige greeted Princess Hanyue, "Thank you princess for your love, but this cousin of the courtier's daughter has always been straightforward." Speaking will not be pleasing to people, even if the princess leaves her, I am afraid that in the end it will only make the princess angry, or it is more appropriate to let the cousin return to the spring banquet with the courtiers. ”
Princess Hanyue was suffocated.
Although she also felt that Feng Zhige was a little different. But she never thought that Feng Zhige would be so mercilessly contradicted against her.
The majesty of the royal family, this Fengzhige really doesn't understand what this is?
Even though she had some faint appreciation and affection for Feng Zhige in her heart, when she was subjected to this kind of confrontation for the first time in her life, Princess Hanyue couldn't help but feel angry.
"Oh?" The tail note of the princess with the moon rises. The slightly soft and glutinous voice sounds like an intimate coquettish in human ears, but Princess Hanyue's mood at this time is obviously not in line with the feeling of her voice, "What if, the palace must keep her?" ”
Feng Zhige raised his eyes to look at Princess Hanyue, and the two were speechless for a while.
If it was any noble girl in Beijing who was in the same place with the two of them, I am afraid that they would have already seen the faint rivalry between Feng Zhige and Princess Hanyue at this time.
But on the contrary, the one who was stopped behind by Feng Zhige was Mu Xiaoxiao, who grew up among the border soldiers since he was a child and only had one tendon in his brain.
Curiously poking her head out of Feng Zhige's shoulder socket, Mu Xiaoxiao first smiled at Princess Hanyue. Then he glanced at Feng Zhige a little strangely, "Cousin, since the princess wants me to stay, why don't you go back first?" ”
Then he lowered his voice and said in Feng Zhige's ear: "Princess Hanyue is really worthy of being the pearl held by the emperor in the palm of her hand, just this temperament, it is not comparable to ordinary people, speaking of which, in addition to my cousin, it is the first time I have seen such an outstanding woman." ”
In addition to these words, there is some absolutely sincere admiration.
Feng Zhige was suffocated.
If there is such a thing as a pig teammate in this era. That must be the kind of person Mu Xiaoxiao that he refers to.
I confronted Princess Hanyue here for her safety, and she actually expressed her admiration for Princess Hanyue on the sidelines?
Princess Hanyue on the other side also paused.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her voice, the two of them were only a few steps away from Princess Hanyue, and her words were naturally heard by Princess Hanyue.
Princess Hanyue never thought that Mu Xiaoxiao would say such a thing. Looking at the unpretentious admiration in Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes, she didn't know what to say for a while.
Although there are many noble ladies in Beijing, but those people's awe and flattery of her, to put it bluntly, it is only because of her identity, how can she hear a sincere word from the mouths of these noble ladies?
If you put aside this glamorous identity, how many people will look at her in their eyes?
Princess Hanyue is sure. If there was no such thing as today, if she met Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao on another occasion, she would definitely put down her body and become friends with these two people.
In the cardamom years, putting aside all identities and statuses, handing over three or two intimate handkerchiefs, and sitting together and chatting every once in a while, the scene that Princess Hanyue once imagined seemed to be very close to her at this time.
But......
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
This matter, after all, is too serious, and she can't put the imperial brother in danger because of her temporary soft-heartedness.
Princess Hanyue blinked, as if she wanted to blink away all the sourness that gushed out of her heart, and then spoke: "Since Miss Mu doesn't mind, then stay and talk to the palace a little more." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao's face was excited, and when she opened her mouth to speak, she paused because her hand was pinched hard by Feng Zhige.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao didn't know what was going on, it seemed that her cousin was a little unhappy because of her whereabouts?
Ringing in her ears, before leaving home, Ye and Zheng repeatedly told her not to make a decision in a hurry, but to listen to her cousin's ......
So, Mu Xiaoxiao closed her mouth and said nothing.
After solving Mu Xiaoxiao's trouble, Feng Zhige still looked back at Princess Hanyue, although there was still a smile on her face, her voice seemed to be dyed with the slight coolness of the early spring air.
"If the princess insists on this, then, let's try to see if the royal dead soldiers brought by the princess can keep the courtiers." Feng Zhige said slowly.
Princess Hanyue's face instantly turned cold.
I have to say that the biggest reason why she is so sure that she can keep Mu Xiaoxiao in this courtyard is that she has several dead soldiers who were rewarded by her father.
It is not easy for the royal dead to get, so every dead soldier only obeys the orders of the emperor alone, and even the queen mother and the crown prince Zhao Zaicun are not protected by the dead.
The reason why Zhao Youjun was able to get those five dead soldiers back then was almost because the Queen Mother was forced to die to get her wish.
And the reason why Princess Hanyue has a dead soldier is because Zhao Tiannan really loves this only daughter.
Over the years, Princess Hanyue has ordered these dead soldiers to do things for her, and several dead soldiers have never let her down.
Although the dead soldiers were sent out. But Princess Hanyue believed that as long as she gave an order, they would definitely rush here as soon as possible.
But now, even the biggest reliance on her side was said by Feng Zhige......
Princess Hanyue frowned.
Although she only saw Feng Zhige's side. But she doesn't think that Feng Zhige is a person who can only bluff, since she said so, I'm afraid that her dead man really can't keep Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao.
It's just that. Compared with the dead soldiers raised by the powerful families in the capital, the royal dead soldiers are undoubtedly much more elite, if even the royal dead soldiers can only fall behind, then what kind of force should Feng Zhige's side be?
This thought flashed through Princess Hanyue's heart.
At this time, she realized that all the speculations about Feng Zhige in her heart, in the end, still looked down on her.
Feng Zhige stood still in place.
After a long time, I didn't wait for Princess Hanyue to make a move. Feng Zhige said slowly: "The courtier doesn't want to offend the princess, but she will never let her cousin stay, but the princess can rest assured, her cousin has always been simple and scheming, and there will be no news that the princess doesn't want to hear will come out of her cousin's mouth." ”
Princess Hanyue was also silent.
The two of them are like the most graceful peonies in the peony garden, just like the cold plums standing proudly on the branches in the plum garden.
Feng Zhige's words did not dispel Princess Hanyue's doubts, but. Princess Hanyue subconsciously wanted to believe the truth of her words.
Even Princess Hanyue herself couldn't help but be surprised by her mentality at this time.
Since learning about those hidden pasts, although Princess Hanyue is not obvious on the surface, she has actually been living in fear. Even one day, that incident will be exposed to the sun, which will cause a monstrous disaster.
Even, in order to prevent herself from being heard by others when she unconsciously said her dream words in her dreams, Princess Hanyue has never let herself fall asleep since she was ten years old.
Five years after that. Princess Hanyue thinks that she will do anything to protect that secret from being discovered.
But now, she was a little shaken because of Feng Zhige's words.
Reason told her that anyone who knew the secret should be cleaned up, but the sensibility in her heart faintly made her let go of her guard and believe in Feng Zhige this time.
Princess Hanyue's eyes flashed with many struggles.
After a long time, before realizing what she had said, Princess Hanyue spoke: "You guys go, remember what you said, if you let this palace hear any news......"
The words are not finished.
In fact, as soon as the first four words were finished, Princess Hanyue already regretted it a little.
She only felt that she must be going crazy today, if not, how could she make a decision to put her safety on others?
However, after saying these words, Princess Hanyue felt a little relaxed in her heart.
Now that the words have been spoken, let's let her be willful this time.
I only hope that Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao will not disappoint her......
Clenching her fists, Princess Hanyue turned around and stopped looking at Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Feng Zhige took Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, took two steps forward and then paused, and looked back at Princess Hanyue who was leaning against the window with her back to them, she thought for a while and said: "The princess will give her a peach, and the courtiers will naturally repay it." ”
"A word of advice to the princess, although she has a weapon like the royal dead in her hand, if you do something extremely secret, it is better not to let these dead men handle it, after all, who knows who these dead soldiers are loyal to?"
"In addition, if the princess has something that can't be solved, she might as well go to her father-in-law Yu from the celebrant and tell her that it was Honglian who asked the princess to find him......"
The girl's clear but strange heavy voice came into the ears of Princess Hanyue, she turned around suddenly, her eyes looked out of the window, but she only saw the backs of Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao.
Princess Hanyue's eyes flashed with shock and confusion alternately.
Feng Zhige's advice undoubtedly spoke to the bottom of Princess Hanyue's heart.
The dead soldier in her hand was rewarded to her by her father who was worried about her safety, although the dead man only recognized one master, but Princess Hanyue was really not sure that in the eyes of those dead soldiers, their master was her or her father.
In particular, there are some things that Princess Hanyue did secretly that cannot be exposed to her father's eyes.
However, although she is a princess, there are really not many people available to her subordinates, and when it comes to tricky things, it is inevitable that she still has to use the dead, the difference is that she tries not to let those dead know the reason.
And what surprised Princess Hanyue the most was what Feng Zhige said about her father-in-law.
The celebrant is the head of the twelve eunuchs in the palace, and even if he is an ordinary little father-in-law in it, he can be more arrogant than the father-in-law of other prisons.
Feng Zhige said that Yu Gonggong, Princess Hanyue also knew.
Father-in-law Yu is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and he has been in the palace for more than 20 years, although he is not as powerful as the eunuch with the palm seal and the pen, but in the palace, even those concubines will never give him a look.
Such a person, Feng Zhige, who has not been in Beijing for a long time, will actually know him?
Moreover, who is the "Red Lotus" that Feng Zhige is talking about?
Princess Hanyue looked at Feng Zhige's back as she gradually moved away, and only felt that the girl's figure seemed to be gradually filled with a layer of mist, making it difficult for her to see the whole picture even if she tried her best to open her eyes. (To be continued.) )
PS: My father-in-law is hospitalized, I have to go to the hospital to guard, and the updates in the past few days may not be stable in time......
