Chapter Forty-Six: Whip Cake
When Feng Xiuyun arrived in Jingshi, it was already early. On the way, some people also mentioned that they would stay overnight, anyway, they were in a hurry all the way, and they couldn't miss the hour. However, he turned a deaf ear, for more than a month, the calm in Beijing was like a pool of stagnant water, and the only thing that was stirred up was the Huai Wang Associate Administration.
Although the King of Jin who is far away in the south has made some gains, it is not beneficial to the current stalemate, even if there are some eyebrows on the Jinyang side, I am afraid it is only a beginning. It is not a good thing that the wet noodles on his hands can be cleaned, but what he is most worried about is that the situation is getting bigger and bigger, and the implication will be widespread, and he is afraid that it will be a bloody case.
Jun Hao saw that his master was not in a good mood, and he also watched silently, just hoping that the aunt in the house would stop adding fuel to the fire and cause something during this time.
When the news of King Rui's return to Beijing came to the house, Diexi didn't dare to slack off, packed up his mood and changed his clothes, and went to his palace to prepare to greet him.
Approaching dusk, Feng Xiuyun and Jun Hao came over. Diexi saw that the two of them were in a hurry, her face was anxious, she weighed what she might have found during the inspection, she didn't say much, and asked Feng Xiuyun for peace, "The concubine welcomes His Highness back to the house, His Highness has been away for a long time, so let's wash the dust first." ”
Feng Xiuyun reached out and lifted her arm, looking at her little face and frowning, "Why is your face so bad, and the person is a lot haggard, what's wrong?" ”
Diexi shook her head and didn't say much, Jingqi on the side poked her secretly, but she was still silent, just smiled slightly.
Feng Xiuyun felt strange and asked Jingqi, "Did something happen?" You said. ”
Jingqi just wanted to speak, but Diexi stopped her, "It's just that the wind and cold have been healed a long time ago, Your Highness is in the way, let's rest early after working hard all the way." ”
After that, Diexi blessed his body, and turned around and left without any more lingering.
Feng Xiuyun squinted at her back, the suspicion in her heart grew thicker, and she instructed Jun Hao: "Go and find Feichen." ”
As soon as he entered the house and changed his clothes, someone outside the door came to spread the word that the side concubine Liao had prepared a meal. Feng Xiuyun thought about it, and asked people to send it in. Liao Xinzhi only timidly asked for peace and stood aside and didn't say much, which made Feng Xiuyun feel a little sorry for her.
Since she had a child and was promoted, the number of times she saw her was almost counted with her fingers, if it weren't for the fact that she would occasionally walk around in front of her eldest son, most of the time she took the initiative to send some food.
"This king is busy with things in the court and neglects you, let's eat together." He pointed to the chair opposite for Liao Xinzhi to sit down, and asked someone to add another pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Liao Xinzhi nodded his head and said yes, sitting opposite him just lowered his head, occasionally raised his eyes to glance at him, and immediately blushed and drooped again.
This made the pity that had just risen in Feng Xiuyun's heart turn into a tired displeasure, Liao Xinzhi was born as a maid, and he had never seen the world and had always been so cowardly. is not as domineering as Xia Leling, nor does he have the spirituality of Diexi, and there is only a dullness in getting along.
Liao Xinzhi saw that his face was getting more and more gloomy, and he didn't dare to eat more, as soon as Feng Xiuyun stopped the chopsticks, she quickly put down the bowl as well, and pinched the hem of her clothes slightly with both hands under the stage.
She yearns for and admires, but every time she sees Feng Xiuyun's bewitching and beautiful face, she feels a sense of cowardice, she is disgusted with such a cowardice, not to mention His Royal Highness King Rui.
Feng Xiuyun saw her head down, sighed, and just wanted to give an eviction order, but Liao Xinzhi quickly said: "Your Highness hasn't been to see Ziyu's child for a long time, and the master praised him a few days ago, saying that his poetry and books have improved." Saying that, she raised her eyes slightly to look at Feng Xiuyun with some expectation.
Feng Xiuyun was silent for a moment, nodded her head in agreement, and when she saw that she showed a hint of joy, she could only shake her head.
went to Liao Xinzhi's residence, but Feng Ziyu, the child, was not at all like his mother, and answered Feng Xiuyun's question generously after asking for peace. Feng Xiuyun saw that he was also standing quite upright, and finally showed a satisfied smile.
The father and son were chatting happily, and the maid outside the door suddenly came in and said, "Your Highness, the side concubine Niangniang, the princess Niangniang is here." ”
Feng Xiuyun looked at Liao Xinzhi strangely and nodded to let her in.
Seeing this, Liao Xinzhi immediately smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't blame, some time ago, the concubine touched the princess and was talking about snacks, and then the princess would come to sit down from time to time." ”
Feng Xiuyun said "oh", and his face couldn't help but be gentle, it turned out to be for snacks, and the little things were still quite attentive.
Diexi entered the house and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Feng Xiuyun. Just after returning to the house, Liao Xinzhi sent someone over, saying that if she had time after dinner, she would like to invite her to sit down. It may be that a few days ago, I talked about the whip cake, thinking that Feng Xiuyun's face was not good when she came back, I was afraid that I would have to think about it before reporting tomorrow, but I was not free today, but I didn't expect it...... Why is he here.
Diexi obviously missed a beat, and then Fu bowed to Feng Xiuyun, "Concubine to His Highness." ”
"The concubine asks the princess to say goodbye." "Ziyu greets the princess."
Feng Xiuyun raised his hand to exempt everyone from courtesy, beckoned to Diexi, and asked her to go to his side.
Liao Xinzhi, who had just gotten up, hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Highness cares for the princess, and the princess loves Her Royal Highness, what a good story." Your Royal Highness, you don't know, the princess said that you love to eat whip cakes, and specially asked the concubine to find a way to learn it. ”
Diexi immediately stiffened in his little hand, raised his eyes to look at him, only to see that the smile on his face was all pulled away, leaving only a dark cloud, he squinted his eyes and looked at Diexi with a dangerous fierce light, "Whip cake?" ”
Diexi swallowed her saliva, and before she had time to argue, she felt that her body was thrown out fiercely, her lumbar spine was hitting the corner of the table behind her, her little face turned pale, and she couldn't make a sound anymore when she raised her teeth.
The three people in the room watched Feng Xiuyun leave angrily, and Liao Xinzhi reacted at this time, and wanted to help Diexi in the past. Unexpectedly, Diexi had stubbornly propped up the table and slowly stood up.
Looking at the corner of Diexi's mouth, Liao Xinzhi wanted to refute something, but she stretched out her hand to block it, "It's the concubine who forgot to declare in advance, the Liao family is so shrewd, but she forgot that the person who stabbed the knife in the back is what the concubine has always hated, you have to be shrewd, otherwise there will be a next time, and it may be who will see the blood." ”
As she spoke, she propped up her waist and roared in pain, "Jingqi, go back." ”
Feng Xiuyun came back to his room with a proud face, and asked viciously at Feichen who was kneeling in front of him: "Say, what is she doing these days!" ”
