Chapter 139

On the second day, Shui Wu came back in the afternoon and said: "It's getting colder and colder, Niangniang, the slave maid just met Miss Fei who had just entered the palace on the way to the inner house, Miss Fei was born so beautiful." ”

"Isn't the master beautiful, how can you talk about this girl?" Liu Yi reproached.

Shui Wu said more and more seriously: "Miss Fei is different from Niangniang, Niangniang is a noble concubine, and there is majesty in the ointment, while Miss Fei's beauty is unworldly, fresh and refined, as pure as snow." ”

Nian Jin'an smiled and said: "Which of the show girls who have just entered the palace is not so natural to carve, recalling that Niangniang was also so ignorant of the world and perfect and pure. ”

Liu Yi was curious again: "Auntie, tell me what interesting things happened when the master was in Chulan Palace." ”

Fu Qizheng said with a smile while embroidering the cloak: "When this palace was practicing etiquette and palace rules in Chulan Palace, I was trained by my aunt. ”

"Ah, even the mother was trained by her aunt, so wouldn't the other show girls be even worse? My aunt is so fierce and so strict with my mother, how can my mother not retaliate against my aunt now. Water mist quipped.

"This is the aunt's duty, and it is more strict to prevent the show girls from making mistakes in the future and being punished, how can this palace blame the aunt."

The palace maid entered: "Niangniang, the emperor sent Niangniang to Qianning Palace." ”

Fu Qizheng changed his clothes and went to sit on the pinch, and couldn't help but recall the situation when he entered the palace: a group of show girls slowly walked forward, the palace road was deep, and they were panicked step by step, and they didn't know the way forward. Now three years are about to pass, and it is another year when the flowers bloom.

Entering the Lizheng Palace, I saw Emperor Yuan looking out the window and standing with his hands in his hands, as if he was thinking.

Fu Qizheng owed: "Your Majesty." ”

When Emperor Yuan heard this, he turned around and said, "The Jin State has raised troops to invade the border of my Daning, and Daning is going to fight with it." ”

Fu Qizheng was very surprised: "How come, hasn't Jin Guo always had this heart and no courage?" ”

"I heard that the monarch of Jin Guo has a new minister, not only worships the prime minister, but also intends to make him the regent, it can be seen that this person is not ordinary, presumably it is because of this person that Jin Guo has the courage to fight with Daning." Emperor Yuan smiled, "I want to see this person's ability." ”

Fu Qizheng walked in front of Emperor Yuan, looked at Emperor Yuan and said, "It seems that the emperor should have a safe chance of winning this battle." ”

"There's nothing to worry about, since Taizu, the Jin Kingdom has repeatedly come and won't win a battle." Emperor Yuan said, "I have ordered Su Liang to go on the expedition, and I plan to let Fu Qi go with me, the experience in the army is always not as good as the battlefield, what do you think?" ”

"The emperor doesn't have to ask his concubines, my brother is a military general, and it is his duty to fight on the battlefield and guard the territory of Daning."

Emperor Yuan then said: "Then this matter is decided, and the queen mother asked me to go to Ciye Palace for dinner today, since I am here, let's go together." ”

Fu Qizheng hurriedly said: "The queen mother asked the emperor to go up, how can the concubines follow, not to mention that there are guests in Ciye Palace today, speaking of which are still relatives of the emperor, the concubines can't go to disturb them." ”

"Guest, what guest." Emperor Yuan asked.

Fu Qizheng slowly lowered his eyes and said: "The emperor's cousin, the daughter of Feifu. ”

Emperor Yuan thought for a moment before he said, "I don't have much impression of this cousin. He looked at Fu Qizheng again and asked, "Really not going?" ”

"No, no."

Emperor Yuan turned his head and shouted outside the hall: "Chang Hai, go and tell the Queen Mother that I have urgent military affairs to deal with tonight, and I have no time to go to Ciye Palace." ”

Fu Qizheng hurriedly persuaded: "If the emperor doesn't go, the queen mother should be angry with the concubines." ”

Emperor Yuan Zhengse said: "Then we have to go together." ”

Helpless, in the evening, Fu Qizheng went to Ciye Palace with Emperor Yuan, and the Queen Mother set up a table in the palace but sat alone in front of the table.

Walking into the hall, Emperor Yuan saluted: "Queen Mother." ”

Fu Qizheng then owed: "See the Queen Mother." ”

When the Queen Mother saw Fu Qizheng, she asked coldly, "Why is Concubine Aya here?" ”

Emperor Yuan immediately said: "It was Erchen who asked Qi Zheng to come with him." ”

"Recently, the mourning family has heard a lot of gossip, saying that now the emperor only has the concubine Fu in his eyes, and he ignores the other concubines, it seems that the rumors are true, there are many concubines in the palace, and next year is a general election, to elect a new concubine for the emperor, and extend the heirs, and the emperor should also be wet with rain and dew." Seeing that Emperor Yuan was silent, the Queen Mother said, "Okay, since you're here, let's sit down." ”

Although the round table was large, the three chairs were only placed tightly in the direction of the temple gate, Emperor Yuan sat in the middle, and Fu Qizheng sat on the left side of Emperor Yuan, and the Queen Mother glanced at Fu Qizheng's expression and flashed a trace of displeasure.

Immediately the lights in the hall went out, and the music started, and the four palace lamps near the temple gate flickered, and there was already a plain-clothed beauty dancing in that bright place, the water sleeves were like flowing clouds, and the white feathers on the bun floated with the wind, reflecting the delicate face and adding softness.

Even Fu Qizheng had to sigh that the scene designed by the Queen Mother was breathtaking, and it should have taken a lot of effort, but the key to this is that Feixiang and his people are really national. Although the light here was faint, Fu Qizheng could still see Emperor Yuan watching Fei Xiang's dance intently. Looking back at the Queen Mother's contemptuous gaze again, Fu Qizheng lowered his eyes and couldn't help complaining that he really shouldn't come.

Just when Fu Qizheng lowered his eyes, his palm suddenly warmed, and his right hand had been pulled by Emperor Yuan and placed on his lap to hold it. Fu Qizheng turned his eyes slightly to look at Emperor Yuan, and saw that he was still looking there. Only the hands that were tightly held did not let go until the light was bright. Fei Xiang danced and withdrew from the hall.

The female official beside the Queen Mother said: "Queen Mother, Miss Fei's dance is really like the Nine Heavens Fairy descending to earth, and even the slaves and maids are fascinated." ”

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Yuan with a smile and asked, "What does the emperor think?" ”

Emperor Yuan was still silent and only nodded.

Oerfei Xiang changed his dance clothes and entered in a light green Luo skirt.

The Queen Mother was very pleased when she heard this, and beckoned to her: "Xiang'er, come and see the emperor." ”

Feixiang noodles contain spring, lotus steps move lightly, and Yingying is blessed: "The courtiers see the emperor, the queen mother." ”

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Good, get up quickly." ”

Fei Xiang got up with a smile, raised his eyes and saw Fu Qizheng in the banquet, so he asked the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, who is this?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Fu Qizheng and said lightly: "This is Concubine Aya." ”

Fei Xiang owed again: "I've seen the concubine." ”

Fu Qizheng said: "Miss Fei doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Xiang'er, sit down, it's all a family, this is a family banquet, don't be restrained."

The palace maid moved a chair and placed it next to the Queen Mother, Fei Xiang just sat down, Fu Qizheng realized that the seat she was sitting in should be prepared by the Queen Mother for Fei Xiang, and her existence may make the Queen Mother's painstaking management more than half of it waste.

The Queen Mother said to Emperor Yuan: "Your Majesty, Xiang'er's father resigned and returned to his hometown, but Xiang'er is already a draft girl, and she can't leave Beijing with her father, so she is helpless, so the mourning family will bring her into the palace to accompany the mourning family." He looked at Fu Qizheng again and said, "Now that Concubine Aya is in charge of the palace, the concubine will not complain about the mourning family and make decisions without permission." ”

Emperor Yuan immediately said: "For such a trivial matter, the queen mother has an idea." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Xiang'er, the emperor personally promised you to stay, and I don't want to pour wine for the emperor to thank the emperor." ”

Fei Xiang got up and walked this way. Fu Qizheng hurriedly withdrew his hand and sat quietly with heavy eyes.

Fei Xiang walked to Emperor Yuan's side, took the wine jug presented by the palace maid behind him, poured the wine jug full of the wine bottle in front of Emperor Yuan, turned around and poured himself a glass, raised his glass, and smiled: "Courtiers thank the emperor for his grace." ”

Emperor Yuan glanced at Fu Qizheng, saw that his expression was solemn and obviously displeased, the corners of his lips couldn't help but have a hint of a smile, turned to look at Fei Xiang, took the wine glass and drank it, Fei Xiang also drank it with a smile, put down the wine glass, and walked back to his seat after bowing slightly to Emperor Yuan.

"Xiang'er grew up watching this aunt of the mourning family, and she knows how to read and play the piano well, but I don't know how to compare with Concubine Aya, when you two might as well learn from each other."

Fei Xiang said lightly: "I heard the queen mother mention that the concubine Niangniang is exquisite, and the courtiers know that they are clumsy, and I hope that the concubine Niangniang will not hesitate to teach her another day." ”

Fu Qizheng squeezed out a smile and said politely: "Miss Fei is humble. ”

The maid of the palace presented a few cups of soup, and the queen mother smiled and said: "Xiang'er is filial, knowing that the mourning family has been unwell recently, and just entered the palace today, she specially cooked this bird's nest almond soup for the mourning family." ”

"The queen mother is unwell, can she call the imperial doctor to see her?"

"Don't get in the way, the emperor should try it while it's hot."

Fu Qizheng knew in his heart that this soup was not made by the Queen Mother, and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time on such an occasion, so he retired and left before the banquet was dispersed. Out of Ciye Palace, the night was quiet, Fu Qizheng insisted on sending away all the attendants, and walked forward alone, unconsciously walked to the imperial garden.

Suddenly, his hand was held again, Fu Qizheng was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Emperor Yuan was already by his side, and then looked back at his back, and there was no attendant.

Walking with him, Emperor Yuan said as he walked: "How did you remember to come to the Imperial Garden, let me find it." Fu Qizheng was surprised: "Why did the emperor come out." ”

"I can't say it's coming, you have to persuade me to come, I regret it."

"The Feixiang girl's dance can be described as a captivating city, and the emperor is fascinated by it, how can he see it if he doesn't come."

"Who told you I watched her dance?"

"The concubine saw it herself."

"I just remembered something about this situation, and I thought about it, but I didn't pay attention to how she danced."

Fu Qizheng looked at Emperor Yuan: "The concubine is curious, what else can make the emperor turn a blind eye to such a beautiful woman." ”

Emperor Yuan said slowly: "The peach is dying, scorching its glory. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Qizheng looked shocked and said softly: "The emperor still remembers." ”

Walking to the edge of the pool, suddenly the sound of the flute came leisurely, Fu Qizheng looked around, but he didn't see who was playing, and there was loneliness everywhere.

"With this music, can you be lucky enough to see Qi Zheng dance again?"

Fu Qizheng lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, walked to the flat place by the pool, faded the wide-sleeved bright purple dress outside, and wore an elegant goose yellow gauze skirt inside, the pool water rippled lightly, reflecting the Yiren solo dance. In the night, it is more delicate. The wind blows, the light yarn flutters, under the bright moon, as if wearing a piece of moonlight, this poolside shadow, and the bright moon in the sky echo each other, I don't know whether the moon cage this dance is more graceful, or this dance reflects the moon is brighter.

Emperor Yuan looked at that place quietly, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the people of Yi were like this, except that Wushan was not a cloud.

After the dance, the sound of the flute also stopped, as if it was known. Fu Qizheng looked around, but still didn't see anyone playing.

Fu Qizheng picked up his coat, walked back and looked at Emperor Yuan and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't let Miss Fei know that the concubine can dance, the concubine has just learned a little, if Miss Fei asks the concubine to learn with her on a whim, the concubine may be laughing and generous." ”

Emperor Yuan was interested: "I want to know, but what you won't do." ”

Fu Qizheng smiled and said lightly: "Ten fingers don't touch the spring water, it's really difficult to cook soup for you." ”

Emperor Yuan couldn't help laughing, took the coat and put it on with her, and in the night, he gently hugged his waist and walked slowly.
