Chapter 142: The Contest (I)
In order to take care of Ling Yu, for half a month, Fu Qizheng has been eating and sleeping in Gyeongbokgung Palace, and Ling Yu's illness is finally cured, but Fu Qizheng's face looks a lot haggard.
After feeding Ling Yu and drinking the medicine, Ling Yu looked at Fu Qizheng and asked, "Will Aya Niangniang come here to accompany Yu'er in the future?" ”
Fu Qizheng smiled and said: "In the future, I will often come to see the eldest prince when I am free, the eldest prince must be obedient, and he is not allowed to sneak out again, you know?" ”
Ling Yu nodded and looked out the window: "When will Yu'er go out to play?" ”
"Of course, I have to wait until the illness is all cured, lie down and recuperate." Fu Qizheng covered the quilt for Ling Yu, and after coaxing him to sleep, he took the people waiting in the palace to the outer hall.
The nurse smiled: "Thanks to the careful care of the concubine Niangniang for several days, the eldest prince can get better so quickly, if there is no Niangniang, the eldest prince is afraid that no one will pay attention to it here." ”
Fu Qizheng turned his eyes to look at the nurse and reprimanded: "What nonsense, there are still concubines in this Jingfu Palace, this palace has instructed the concubines, and the concubines will pay more attention to the eldest prince in the future, and the eldest prince should not only tell the palace if he has something, the concubine is the lord of this Jingfu Palace, you actually hide everything from her, and dare to say that the eldest prince is not cared for." ”
"Slaves and maids, slaves and maids are afraid that the concubines and concubines will not care about the eldest prince, and now only the concubine Niangniang cares about the eldest prince, so they only dare to tell the concubine Niangniang." The nurse replied.
Nian Jin'an said: "Concubine Niangniang and even good people, will not sit idly by, in the future, if there is something to do, you should immediately inform Xian Concubine Niangniang to deal with it, the concubine Niangniang is far away in Jingyi Palace, if there is an emergency, it will inevitably be delayed." ”
"Yes, the slave knows."
Knowing that they were also doing this for Ling Yu's sake, Fu Qizheng didn't hold him accountable too much, and explained everything before returning to Jingyi Palace with peace of mind.
"Niangniang has lived in Gyeongbokgung Palace for these days, and the palace should know that Niangniang cares about the eldest prince, and she will not dare to slack off on the eldest prince in the future."
"I hope so." Fu Qizheng sat in the dormitory and couldn't help coughing slightly.
Nian Jin'an said worriedly: "Why did Niangniang cough, the slave maid went to pass the imperial doctor to take a look at Niangniang." ”
Fu Qizheng beckoned: "Don't get in the way, how is the preparation of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in a few days." ”
"The slave has been staring at it, it has been prepared, only the song and dance are left to be seen." Nian Jin'an handed over the booklet.
Fu Qi opened it and took a closer look, and when he saw Fei Xiang's name appearing on it, he couldn't help frowning.
Nian Jinan said: "Miss Fei's dance is determined by the Queen Mother. ”
Fu Qizheng said lightly: "There's nothing wrong with it, let her dance." ”
"The Queen Mother invited all the relatives and nobles to the banquet this time, and the slave felt that the Queen Mother must have a plan."
"It's just that I want Fei Xiang to show his talents in front of the relatives, and when he shows up on this occasion, the relatives and nobles should also know the queen mother's thoughts, it's okay, let the queen mother go." Fu Qizheng smiled indifferently, and saw the game of chess in a blink of an eye, and just put it aside until now, but he couldn't laugh anymore, and he was sad.
Even though he was dressed up for the banquet, his face was still faintly haggard, and his cough became more and more severe.
Concubine Yun on the side said with a smile: "Concubine Niangniang, this won't be the prince who takes care of others, in the end, she is tired and sick, Niangniang has been living in a shallow way these days, but she has missed a lot of good shows." Concubine Yun glanced back, "Does Niang Niang know who this son behind the concubine is for?" ”
Fu Qizheng looked back, only Fei Xiang was not present now, behind Fu Qizheng was Concubine He Youzhu, next to Fei Xiang's position, and on the other side was Shu Concubine Chen Xiying, so it can be seen that Fei Xiang's position after being selected in the coming year should not be low, maybe the Queen Mother is worried about her current identity, otherwise she may have to set this son in the front, next to the third concubine.
Meng Shi said seriously: "Niangniang must also know what this means. ”
Fu Qizheng glanced at Meng Shi: "This son is not in front of you, Concubine Yun can't bear it?" ”
Concubine Yun sighed: "This is just temporary, besides, the front of the concubine is a noble concubine, the concubine is anxious for the noble concubine, not to mention that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Emperor Ming'er should make an order to abolish the queen, this juncture has such a heavenly fragrance and national color in the eyes, it is not the first time that the queen mother has sought a throne for her niece." ”
Fu Qizheng no longer paid attention to Meng, raised his eyes and looked at the other side, there were many relatives and nobles present today, and when they saw their sister Fu Qishu, they looked at each other and smiled, Ling Binwei and Qiao Yanyi were also invited to sit in the back. In the end, I couldn't help but glance at the people in the palace, and looked at each other for a moment, but the gaze seemed to be a little cold.
Fei Xiang wore a water blue dance dress, still as if the water was still, moving like ripples, flying in the hall, like a vast wave of smoke, already stunning the four, except for Fu Qishu with a calm face, Qiao Yanyi with an expressionless face, most of the relatives and nobles present were full of praise. Fu Qizheng read it silently, only to hear Meng Shi sighing again and again.
After changing her clothes, Fei Xiang sat down in the seat behind Concubine Yun, looked at Fu Qizheng's back and said, "I haven't seen the concubine for a few days. ”
Fu Qizheng turned around and said, "Miss Fei, don't come unharmed." ”
"Niangniang is angry with her courtiers? I was depressed and looked a lot haggard. ”
Fu Qizheng couldn't help laughing: "Why is this palace angry with Miss Fei." ”
Fei Xiang smiled and said: "It's good if the mother is not angry, it turns out that the Meilin I went to last time is just a scene in the palace scenes, and the courtiers have seen a lot of places later, fortunately they went up with the emperor, otherwise the courtiers just entered the palace, they must not know the direction, and they are afraid that they will get lost." ”
"This is glad that if Miss Fei gets lost, the Queen Mother should blame the palace for not being well entertained." After Fu Qizheng finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to enjoy the song and dance.
"The courtiers have one more thing to ask."
Fu Qizheng said: "Although Miss Fei asks, the palace must know everything and say everything, but it is really inconvenient for the palace to talk to Miss Fei like this, and it is not too late to ask each other after a while." ”
Fei Xiang seemed to be unrelenting: "The plaque of the pavilion in Merlin can be made?" ”
"Is Miss Fei a concubine and a female official in the Inner Palace? I still think that the plaque is extraordinary, and I must ask the concubine Niangniang to ask it personally. Chen Xiying on the side sneered.
In this palace, except for Fu Qizheng and Chen Xiying, who are incompatible with Fei's water and fire, I think she has long been unable to stand Fei Xiang's arrogance, but it is not surprising that she can't help but speak out to help.
Fei Xiang said: "That is the emperor's decree, whether it is considered valuable, now the inner mansion is in the hands of the noble concubine Niangniang, and the mother doesn't even care about this matter, isn't it disrespectful to the emperor." ”
Fu Qizheng looked at the song and dance casually, silent.
Fei Xiang smiled again and said, "Why didn't Niangniang speak?" Niangniang can rest assured that the courtiers will not mention this matter in front of the emperor. ”
Fu Qizheng didn't reply, and said coldly: "I said, it's not too late to ask each other after the banquet is over." The speed of speech was fast, followed by a cough, and I saw the silk in my hand, the words were still there, and I don't know if it was still a joke.
"Niangniang has to be careful about her body, if she is sick, I am afraid that only the courtiers present will worry about Niangniang."
Fu Qizheng turned around and said, "Miss Fei is too worried. After saying that, he got up and left the table, and quietly went out of the temple without waiting for an attendant.
It's finally quiet outside, only to feel slightly cold, which is more comfortable than staying in that noisy place. Quiet and secluded paths, aimlessly moving forward.
I don't know how far I walked, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me, Fu Qizheng stopped and turned to look, the night was dark, the candlelight in the lampstand was faint, even if it was a distance away, I couldn't see the face clearly, but how could the figure not know.
Fu Qizheng owed: "Your Majesty." ”
"Are you resentful?"
"The concubine doesn't dare."
"I've gone to Gyeongbokgung Palace."
"The concubine is not hiding from the emperor, but the eldest prince is sick and has no one to take care of him, so the concubine went to Gyeongbokgung Palace."
Emperor Yuan walked up to Fu Qizheng: "In the hall just now, what did Fei Xiang tell you?" ”
Fu Qizheng said with heavy eyes: "I didn't say anything, I just mentioned where I have been in the past few days." ”
"She's provoking you and disturbing you."
"No matter how much you provoke the concubines, it's useless." In this world, the only person in front of Fu Qizheng is afraid that he is uncomfortable, as for the others, either there is no need to be angry with him, or he will double it back, and there will be revenge and revenge.
"The queen mother mentioned before that she wanted you to have a discussion with Fei Xiang, not casually, I expected it to be tonight."
Fu Qizheng whispered: "What else is there to compare, the Feixiang girl has won the hearts of the monarch in her beauty, and the concubines are willing to bow down." ”
Emperor Yuan scolded lightly: "I dare to say that you are not complaining." He added, "If you admit defeat like this, the queen mother is willing to let you go and cancel the competition, and I don't have to go to great lengths to find out the truth for you." ”
"The emperor is exploring the truth for his concubines."
"Merlin had the opportunity to let you hear it for yourself that day, but you couldn't hold your breath, and before I could speak, I turned around and left."
Fu Qizheng looked at Emperor Yuan in surprise and asked cautiously: "Could it be that the emperor invited Miss Fei to enjoy the flowers, just to explore the depth of her piano skills?" No wonder he knew she was there, but he deliberately let her meet.
"So what do you think?"
"It's the concubine who is reckless, why didn't the emperor tell the concubine earlier." Fu Qizheng said guiltily, and asked again, "How is the piano skills of Miss Nafei?" ”
"Each has its own merits, not equal, she thinks that if you are restless, you will definitely lose."
Fu Qizheng said with a smile: "The emperor helped his concubines to deal with Miss Fei like this, wouldn't it be righteous to kill his relatives, how could he bear it." ”
"You are my concubine, and you will attract what you will attract if you lose to a girl to be drafted in front of your relatives."
"It turns out that the emperor is afraid that his concubines will lose the emperor's face." Fu Qizheng said gloomily, a gust of cold wind hit, his clothes were thin, he couldn't help but tremble, and coughed lightly.
Emperor Yuan noticed it, took Fu Qizheng's hand, frowned, and said, "Why are your hands so cold." Hugging her into his arms, he pulled over the cloak and wrapped it, and asked softly, "Is it still cold?" ”
Fu Qizheng looked at him and shook his head lightly, and said worriedly: "If the concubine loses, won't she lose the emperor's hard work." ”
"It doesn't hurt if you really lose, since you have won the hearts of the king, why do you need to be peerless." Emperor Yuan Wen said, "What's more, you don't necessarily lose." ”
Fu Qizheng was confused, and was about to ask why, but heard a voice coming.
"Yi'er, are you cold?"
Fu Qizheng looked at it in a blink of an eye, Ling Binwei snickered and stood not far away with Qiao Yanyi hand in hand.
Ling Binwei was affectionate: "Since you have won my heart, why do you need to care about losing to the concubine Niangniang at the beginning." ”
Qiao Yanyi couldn't help laughing.
Emperor Yuan said angrily: "Ling Binwei, you are presumptuous. ”
"The emperor was angry, the younger brother just happened to pass by, and accidentally saw the emperor and the mother here, and the younger brother couldn't help but feel it."
"Okay, let's not disturb the emperor and the concubine, let's go elsewhere." Qiao Yanyi smiled, turned around and owed Emperor Yuan and Fu Qizheng, and pulled Ling Binwei away quickly.
After the two left, Fu Qizheng looked at Emperor Yuan and said, "The emperor should also go back." ”
Emperor Yuan nodded, then let go of his hand, took off his cloak and put on Fu Qizheng, and returned to Qing'an Hall together.
The depression is resolved, and I am at ease, but I still have no confidence that I can win. The Queen Mother's intention this time was not only to let Fei Xiang show her talents in front of everyone, but also to make Fu Qizheng lose face in front of her relatives. Fu Qizheng knew that he couldn't hide......
