Chapter 82: Temptation
"What's wrong?"
Feng Yu looked at Yue'er worriedly, but Yue'er shook her head with an ugly face, "It's okay." ”
"How can it be okay? I see your face is white. Feng Yu said in a serious tone, took her hand, pulled her sleeve up, and was suddenly shocked.
Feng Yu looked at Yue'er's arm with a shocked face, then pulled her other hand, and when she saw the injury on her arm, she was surprised: "What's going on?" How did it hurt like this? ”
Yue'er's two arms were full of scars, of different sizes, but they all looked fresh.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Yue'er shook her head in fear, quickly withdrew her hand, and lowered her sleeves to block the scars.
"This is Fenglin's beating?" Feng Yu looked at her with a gloomy face, and asked again, "Did Feng Lin do it?" ”
Yesterday at the banquet, Feng Yu saw that Feng Lin was in a bad mood, and then she ridiculed her, Feng Lin has a high temperament, and he must have been angry with Yue'er.
Yue'er shook her head in horror, but didn't speak, Fengyu looked at her appearance, sighed, and said, "If you feel unwilling, I can take you to meet your father." ”
"No matter what your father thinks about this marriage, for the sake of you having a royal heir, your father will also make decisions for you."
Hearing what Feng Yu said, Yue'er hesitated, looked up and was about to say something, but saw Hui Guifei coming from the side.
The slap that Hui Guifei slapped that day, Yue'er still remembers it vividly, she learned from the palace maid that Hui Guifei and Feng Yu did not agree, in order to avoid being beaten again, Yue'er hurriedly took a few steps back to the side.
Seeing Yue'er retreating, Feng Yu approached her suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yue'er moved to the side a little scared, and Feng Yu felt a little strange when she saw that she deliberately kept a distance from herself.
"Princess, the concubine is here." Qin'er reminded aloud.
Feng Yu turned her head to look behind her, Hui Guifei was walking towards them slowly, turned her head to look at Yue'er, and Feng Yu suddenly understood.
At this time, Concubine Hui had already walked in front of her, she glanced at Yue'er first, and then turned her eyes to Fengyu, "The princess has always liked to stay in her palace, how can she have the leisure to enjoy the flowers here today?" ”
Feng Yu chuckled and shook her head, and sighed: "Fortunately, I was idle today, so I met the second concubine here." Otherwise, I wouldn't know that the second prince of our northern capital would beat his side concubine on the wedding night. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Hui's face changed slightly, she glanced at Yue'er who was shrunk next to her, and the next moment she recovered her look.
Looking at Feng Yu, Concubine Hui chuckled lightly and said, "There are some things, it is better to persuade the princess not to take care of them, so as not to burn herself." ”
"Really?" Feng Yu raised her eyebrows, looked at her, and hooked the corners of her mouth: "I just don't know if I can pull a few people to make a cushion before I set myself on fire?" ”
"Do you think that if you are favored by the emperor, you can swagger in this palace?" Concubine Hui said angrily, obviously angry.
Concubine Hui looked at Feng Yu with a proud face, and continued: "Tell you, this palace is a dignified concubine, except for the queen, this palace is the head of the harem concubines." ”
"In this harem, except for the emperor, no one can touch the palace." Speaking of this, Concubine Hui Guifei leaned closer to Feng Yu, looked at her and said softly, "Including you." ”
In the face of Hui Guifei's provocation, Feng Yu just sneered, and then said to Qin'er: "Qin'er, let's go." ”
"Yes, Princess."
Fengyu left with Qin'er, without even giving Hui Guifei a look, Hui Guifei stood in place and looked at her back, she was so angry.
Looking at Yue'er who was standing next to her, Concubine Hui was even more angry, and yelled: "Do you want to continue to be embarrassed here?" Don't go back yet! ”
This sentence frightened Yue'er's body, and she hurriedly saluted Concubine Hui, and then left with the palace maid who served her.
Feng Yu took Qin'er back to the palace, and on the way back, when she saw that there was no one around, Qin'er said to Feng Yu: "Princess, I didn't expect the second prince to beat the second concubine on the wedding night." ”
"And these two concubines are still pregnant, the second prince actually beat her like that, and she was too ruthless."
Snorted coldly, Feng Yu said in a cold tone: "Do you think this is ruthless?" For Concubine Hui and their mother and son, this is nothing at all. ”
"Then these two concubines are too pitiful."
Feng Yu was silent, and after a while, she sighed: "We can't help her now, let's take a step and see a step first." ”
When he returned to the dormitory, the eunuch immediately reported to Feng Yu, saying that Xiao Yan had been waiting in the house for a long time.
Hearing that Xiao Yan was coming, Feng Yu was a little happy in her heart, she walked quickly to the front hall, and when she walked into the courtyard, she saw Xiao Yan sitting in the front hall drinking tea.
Xiao Yan also saw Fengyu, got up and walked out of the front hall to greet her, "Where has the princess gone?" ”
"I'm going to see the excitement." Feng Yu smiled, and then entered the front hall with Xiao Yan.
"Is it pretty?" Xiao Yan asked, the expression on his face a little serious.
Feng Yu sat on the chair and shook her head, and replied, "It's not good-looking, I may not be able to eat breakfast for a while." ”
Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is it so exaggerated?" ”
"I'm not exaggerating." Feng Yu swore an oath, and then looked at Qin'er, "You go down first, I'll call you if there's something." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."
After Qin'er left, Feng Yu looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm here to tell you something." The expression on Xiao Yan's face suddenly became serious, he looked at Feng Yu and said, "Today in the main hall, the emperor ordered Li Chengdong to hold the imperial examination. ”
"What? Let Li Chengdong be in charge of the imperial examination? Feng Yu was surprised, obviously unable to believe the decision made by the emperor.
Xiao Yan nodded affirmatively and continued, "As far as I can guess, Li Chengdong should take this opportunity to accept bribes. ”
Feng Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then this is a good opportunity." ”
"You can send someone into the imperial examination room, take this opportunity to get close to Li Chengdong, and then find out about his bribery, and we will find another opportunity to arrest him red-handed."
"What the princess said is exactly what I have in mind." Xiao Yan looked at Feng Yu with a gentle face and said, "We can be said to have a good heart. ”
Feng Yu glared at him helplessly, and the two discussed this matter for a while, but as they talked, they talked about breakfast.
"Princess, leave me for breakfast."
"Aren't you going back?" Feng Yu looked at him suspiciously, and then said, "If you don't go back, you can go to the Imperial Brother's Palace for breakfast." ”
Xiao Yan shook his head solemnly, and said in a serious tone: "The food in the princess's palace is more to my liking. ”
Feng Yu was amused by him, and finally reluctantly agreed, anyway, it was just a meal, she didn't believe it, what else could happen.
Just when the two of them were eating freely, the emperor suddenly walked in, and at this time, Xiao Yan was serving vegetables to Fengyu, and the chopsticks were still in Fengyu's bowl and were not returned.
The two of them were stunned when they saw the emperor, and after reacting, they immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to salute.
"Erchen has seen his father."
"Wechen knocks to see the emperor."
The scene where Xiao Yan served Feng Yu with vegetables just now, the emperor had already seen it in his eyes, and when he saw that their expressions were different, he couldn't help but doubt in his heart.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Father."
"Your Majesty."
The two straightened up at the same time, Feng Yu walked to the emperor's side, and said happily: "Why is the father here?" Are you here to dine with your sons? ”
The emperor looked at her lovingly, and said with a smile: "Yes, my father has been busy with court politics during this time, and he has not been able to accompany you well, so I want to have breakfast with you today." ”
Feng Yu pursed her lips and whispered: "It turns out that my father also thinks that he has little time to accompany his sons." ”
Seeing her smile, the emperor looked at Xiao Yan, "The general is also having breakfast here?" ”
Xiao Yan nodded calmly and replied, "Weichen and the princess talked for a long time, and it happened to be meal time, so I took the liberty to stay." ”
"Then sit down and join us."
Then, the meal for two became a meal for three.
I have to admit that the emperor was very happy when he saw Fengyu and Xiao Yan together.
During the meal, the emperor saw that there was something wrong with their expressions, thought about it, and said directly: "In a blink of an eye, Qiluo has also reached the age where she can get married." ”
Feng Yu and Xiao Yan were stunned at the same time, Feng Yu was a little embarrassed: "Why did my father suddenly say this?" ”
The emperor smiled, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "General, if I marry Qiluo Xu to you, are you willing?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Fengyu and Xiao Yan were shocked, but the next moment, Xiao Yan showed a happy expression.
"The princess is kind and lovely, gentle and generous, and naturally agrees with the courtier's wishes."
Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, the emperor was very satisfied, and turned to look at Feng Yu and said, "What about Qiluo?" ”
Feng Yu didn't show a happy appearance, for her, the revenge has not been avenged, how can she talk about the private affairs of her children.
What's more, the vassal king is ambitious, and his power is gradually expanding in the northern capital, and the reason why there is no movement now is because he is recuperating and waiting for the best opportunity.
When the time comes, the North will face a change of dynasty, so Feng Yu can't be distracted at this time.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was looking at him a little nervously, Feng Yu bit her lip, and then shook her head at the emperor.
"I don't want to."
As soon as these four words came out, the originally happy expression on Xiao Yan's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Feng Yu with a somewhat hurt expression.
"Father, my son doesn't want to marry yet."
This sentence can be regarded as an explanation to Xiao Yan, it's not that he doesn't want to marry him, but he doesn't want to marry for the time being, but the result is the same.
Although she was a little disappointed in her heart, Xiao Yan knew what Feng Yu was thinking, so when the emperor was not paying attention, she nodded to her to show that she understood her.
Seeing Xiao Yan nodding to herself, Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want Xiao Yan to misunderstand.
Fortunately, as Xiao Yan said, they have a good heart, so they don't need to explain in too many words to be able to understand each other.
