Chapter 5: The Evil

In the inner courtyard of Haitang Chunwu, Zhen was fiddling with the pair of jade bracelets.

Her wrists were snow-white, lined with a green jade bracelet, like a fine snow lotus. When he looked up and saw his daughter coming, when she came to see the bracelet, she said happily: "Ah Luan, look, I said it well, right?" The people of the Treasure Pavilion still sent the bracelet to the door in the end. ”

Feng Luan looked at her mother with a smug face, and couldn't help choking, "Mother, I heard that it was sent by His Royal Highness King Cheng?" ”

"yes." Zhen didn't care, and said: "I think about it, go back and find an ancient painting with a similar price, and send it to His Royal Highness King Cheng, which can be regarded as a return gift." With a faint look of pride, "I don't take advantage of others." ”

"Mother!" Feng Luan was anxious.

Originally, it was not clear that the king gave gifts, but if the Feng family returned the gift, wouldn't it become a back and forth? Not to mention how others will arrange it, it is annoying enough for Xiao Zhan to have a misunderstanding.

"What's wrong?" Zhen stroked the jade bracelet and looked at her daughter in confusion.

Feng Luan picked up the girls, leaving only Mama Zhen alone, and then asked, "When I went out in the morning, didn't my mother proudly confess to me, telling me not to be in the limelight on the crown princess's birthday?" ”

"Well, so what?" Zhen asked.

"That's not the end of it." Feng Luan said angrily: "If you don't let yourself be in the limelight, don't you just don't want to attract people's attention and don't get involved in the matter of choosing a concubine for the king?" Now that we are receiving his things, how can we make it clear? ”

"This ......" Zhen hesitated a little, but after looking at the jade bracelet that had just arrived, he was reluctant, and argued strongly: "One yard is one yard, he sent something, why don't we just return the favor?" Besides, His Royal Highness King Cheng specially asked someone to send it over, can you not do it? Isn't that a slap in the face? You can't throw it away. ”——

This is a strong rhetoric.

Feng Luan had a headache and looked at Mama Zhen for help.

"Second Lady ......"

As soon as Mama Zhen spoke, she was interrupted by Zhen's raised hand, "Okay! "You don't have to persuade me, and I don't talk to you as if I haven't seen anything." Angry, he took off the bracelet, "You have the ability, go and return it to His Royal Highness King Cheng by yourself." ”

She got up, flicked her sleeves and entered the inner bedroom.

Feng Luan and Mama Zhen were left looking at each other and were speechless for a long time.

After a while, Mama Zhen spoke first: "Madame's words are not unreasonable. This thing sent by His Royal Highness King Cheng is indeed not easy not to accept, and now that it is ......, it is even more difficult to return. ”

Feng Luan is also having a headache for this hot potato.

Mama Zhen asked again, "Second Miss, you really don't plan to run for the princess?" ”

Feng Luan was interested in listening to her thoughts and asked, "What does Mama think?" ”

"This ......," Mama Zhen smiled, "The slave doesn't say it well." Although he was humble, he said: "It's just that according to my shallow opinion, our Feng family is a century-old family in this dynasty, not the kind of small family that looks forward to climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, so it doesn't matter if you are a princess or not." ”

Feng Luan nodded, "I think so too." ”

Mama Zhen said with a smile: "If the young lady does not fight for the princess and marries in the future, no matter which family, who would dare to snub the girl of the Feng family?" It's better to save the hard work later. ”

The prince takes the heir, but he has to gamble his life and his life.

Feng Luan nodded, "That's right." ”

A little girl came from outside and said, "Second Miss, the eldest lord invites you to come over." ”

Mama Zhen's eyes flashed and she lowered her eyes.

Feng Luan waited for a long time before waiting for this good news, how could he still pay attention to others now? He immediately stood up and replied, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

Mama Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she left, she went in to find Zhen and persuaded: "Madam, why bother being angry about a bracelet? In my opinion, the second lady doesn't want to have anything to do with King Cheng, so don't want to. After a pause, he opened his mouth in the direction of the upper room, "Besides...... doesn't that mean the same over there?" ”

"I know that." Zhen was a little impatient, and pouted: "But what kind of thing is King Cheng?" It's worth sending something and being scared, and the bracelet is accepted, what can he do? Don't get me on fire and smash it again. ”

Mama Zhen smiled dryly, and seeing that she was not very persuasive in her anger, she turned to say, "Isn't the eldest master of the Fan family gone?" I'll go and arrange for my wife to prepare a few sets of plain clothes, so that I can go out tomorrow. ”

"No, no." Zhen said with a cold face: "Every time you hang the sacrifice, you are not allowed to dress up, you can't laugh, everyone sits with a straight face for a while, and they are suffocated." ”

Mama Zhen couldn't persuade her, and sighed: "Okay, then say that the old man is unwell, and the lady is too busy to go." ”

Anyway, in the capital, everyone knows that the second master of Dao Feng is not in good health.

"I heard you're going to the crown princess's birthday?" Feng Yuan asked.

"Yes." Feng Luan was slightly disappointed, he didn't expect the eldest uncle to call him over, to talk about it, not to ask about his dreams, but it was not good to suddenly interject something else, so he had to listen first.

Feng Yuan looked up at her, "Now that His Royal Highness King Cheng is not young, it is time to choose the princess." ”

He was a little worried, after all, King Cheng Xiao Zhan is a handsome young man, his character is handsome, his niece is young, and he was introduced by the second child to see King Cheng that day, don't be fooled by him.

Therefore, he explained carefully: "The Feng family has produced Taizu Feng Shufei, two princes, and an eldest princess, and now your fourth aunt is also a concubine, and there are twelve princes and six princesses under your knees. The relationship between our family and the royal family is not close enough, but too close. After a pause, "Something is too much. ”

What is there to fight for as a princess? Does it mean that the emperor opens his eyes, the concubine belongs to the Feng family, the concubine belongs to the Feng family, the brothers and sisters are from the Feng family, and the sons and daughters are also from the Feng family? Not to mention, the matter of choosing a princess for King Cheng, as well as the Queen Mother Qin's family, is not so simple.

"Ah Luan." Feng Yuan said: "On the birthday of the crown princess, you should live in peace, don't compete with others to be the first to be in the limelight, just do your best." ”

Not? Feng Luan was surprised, how could this tone be the same as what her mother said before?

Feng Yuan saw her expression stunned, and thought that she was reluctant in her heart, and said: "Don't worry, in the future, my uncle will definitely choose a good marriage for you, and you will be more comfortable than being a princess." ”

Yes? Feng Luan was a little embarrassed, even if she had been married and pregnant in her previous life, but she was not out of the cabinet at the moment, and her uncle suddenly talked about his marriage, and his face was a little hot. Speaking of which, I had little contact with my uncle in my previous life, and in my impression, I only remember that he was a stern and solemn person, but I didn't expect to be so gentle and caring for my son and nephew.

Thinking of this, the desire to tell my uncle about that dream became even stronger.

Feng Yuan saw that she had been silent, and thought that her daughter's family was shy, so she didn't say any more. Instead, he remembered his niece's strange "dream", and asked casually: "Last time you said that you dreamed of General Fan falling from his horse, what happened?" ”

Feng Luan's mood fluttered, and his uncle finally remembered his dream! Is it just the reason, and how can it be explained? So he prevaricated: "I just had a nightmare for no reason." ”

"Didn't you hear something?" Feng Yuan asked, he also thought it was too ridiculous,—— what could Ah Luan hear? I heard that Fan Jinliang is going to go horseback riding? Heard that he would fall off his horse? Heard he was going to die? If she had such a great ability, she should have stayed in the military aircraft department.

Feng Luan was valued by her uncle because of the realization of her prophesied "dream", and she couldn't help but feel a little excited, her heart boiled little by little, she was about to say it, it was a ......, but it was a major event related to the fate of the entire Feng family!

She forced herself to hold back her ups and downs, and said, "Actually, ......, I haven't finished that dream yet. ”

"Not finished?" Feng Yuan was reproaching himself for the absurdity of his thoughts, and was about to let his niece go, when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask strangely, "What else is there to say?" ”

Feng Luan had a complicated mood, "That dream is very long......"

The past turned into a long and miserable nightmare in her mouth, little by little, little by little, little by little, time passed little by little, very slowly, and it seemed to be only a fleeting thing.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Feng Yuan's face had already changed a few times, Rao is qi cultivation kung fu was very good, and he finally couldn't hold back, and scolded: "Prince Ying will die?" Will Prince Xiang die? Will the eldest princess of Liyi die? The entire Feng family will be raided and wiped out?! "Slam your hand on the table," gibberish, absurd! ”

Feng Luan was shocked and trembled, and plucked up his courage, "Uncle, what I said is true!" No, no, it's ......, that's what that dream is, I'm not lying......"

"Enough!" Feng Yuan saw that she not only did not admit her mistake, but also argued, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Your ...... and this, it's all Zhen's fault for not being taught!" ”——

Why did it get to my mother again?

Feng Luan didn't think much about it, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please believe me." I don't know how to explain it, so I can only emphasize again and again, "If you don't believe it, wait and see, these things will come true!" Because General Fan died, not long after, the emperor of the Xiliang War would let Prince Ying go on the expedition, and then ......, he would be accused of 'collaborating with the enemy and treason'. ”

"How dare you talk nonsense!" Feng Yuan's hand was raised high suddenly, but in the end, ...... still did not fall on his niece's face, but scolded fiercely: "It's all because the Zhen family spoiled you, dare to say anything!" ”

"Great uncle." Feng Luan thought of the various tragedies in his previous life, and his heart was sad, "It's true...... "In order to let his uncle believe in himself as soon as possible, he chose the latest thing, "Just say that in front of me, the uncle of the Fan family is gone, and the Fan family will inherit an heir, but the crown princess does not support Chengjue." ”

"Shut up!" Feng Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, "Come on!" Calling someone in, Shen Se said: "Ah Luan is a little unwell, so I will send the person back, let Zhen take care of her, and quickly invite a doctor to come over and take a look." Suppressing the boredom of the goddesses, "If it doesn't work, send someone to the temple to donate some sesame oil money." ”

Uncle does this think he has fallen into evil? Feng Luan laughed and laughed.

Feng Yuan said sharply: "Hurry up, send Ah Luan back!" ”

The servants and girls were panicked.

hurriedly came up to pull people, all with bitter faces, "Second Miss, the slaves don't want to do it, don't let everyone be embarrassed, and hurt you again." ”

Feng Luan didn't struggle in vain, and said in the end, "Uncle, you wait and see." ”

******

In the Pavilion of Looking at the Stars and Holding the Moon, Zhen was reprimanding loudly, "One by one, how did they serve Ah Luan?" raised dozens of you people in vain, just a small master, and they can't serve well? Where should my sister usually go, but where do you dare not go, you don't have a number in your hearts? A bunch of daring slaves! ”

Jiang's mother and others were all led by the training, and they didn't dare to confess.

The little girls shrank to the side, only Baozhu was bolder, relying on the usual Miss to favor her, she stepped forward and smiled: "Madam, we dare not snub Miss." It's just that there are many people coming and going in this house, and there are many people, so maybe they have brought something unclean and passed it to the young lady......"

"Smack!" Zhen smashed a teacup at her feet and said sharply: "You still dare to be strong? On weekdays, I always see you dangling in front of Ah Luan, and now that you have a face, why can't you even take care of the master? ”

Baozhu was startled, and muttered: "No, ......no, the slave is not ......."

Seeing that she was dressed in fancy clothes, Zhen couldn't help but be even more angry, "Take it down, reward twenty mouths, lock it in the firewood room first, and turn around and ask someone to come and get it." Seeing that the people in the room were still stunned, he scolded: "What? I can't call you anymore?! ”

Without waiting for Mother Jiang and the others to react, Mama Zhen greeted someone first, stepped forward to cover Baozhu's mouth, and forcibly dragged her down without even saying a word.

"You can't escape either." Zhen pointed to the rest of the people and reprimanded, "Stealing, cheating, disrespectful, all of them will be deducted for half a year." He also said: "Give me a good life to take care of Ah Luan, and if there is a mistake, they will all be sold!" Anyway, how many people are crowded, and they can't get into this room. ”

Mother Jiang hurriedly led the girls to thank her, and said, "Don't dare to snub Miss." ”

It didn't take long for the Feng family to know that the second miss was "sick".

The next day, the Fan family's hanging festival naturally did not go, and a few days later, the crown princess's birthday was not able to catch up with it. Fengfu invited several doctors to treat the second lady, but they didn't see the reason, but they made a lot of trouble.

There are many rumors outside.

Some people say that Miss Feng Er was unlucky, and she didn't show her face on the crown princess's birthday; It is also said that the Feng family looks down on the royal family, maybe this is an excuse to avoid the banquet; What's more, it is said that Miss Feng Er may have a dark disease, such as facial sores or something, which is no longer visible.

When these words reached Fengfu, Zhen was so angry that he threw things in the house, "Which one is black-hearted?" There are sores on the mouth, such a random arrangement with no edge and no shadow! Deliberately ruining our Ah Luan's reputation, the real intestines are rotten black. ”

Feng Luan laughed lightly, most of them were ghosts of the Queen Mother Qin's family, and they were afraid that they would fight for the princess.

There was a sneer in her heart, ...... princess, the Qin family would rob it if they loved it. The Qin family is still dreaming, thinking that with the Empress Dowager Qin and Concubine Qin De, plus a hugging Xiao Zhan, they will be able to get the position of the next emperor and let the Qin family have a queen mother! Oh, that's ridiculous.

Everything continues, following the trajectory of the fate of sentient beings that have been determined in previous lives.
