"The princess stays."

Xiao Yan turned to face Feng Yu, then pulled Shangguan Yunrui, who was hiding behind Feng Yu, and said to Feng Yu, "I will send him back." ”

Sensing that Xiao Yan's tone was wrong, Feng Yu hesitated, looked at him and said, "Don't take those words to heart, I ......"

"The princess doesn't have to say much." Xiao Yan interrupted Feng Yu's words, looked at her with a hint of a smile, and said, "I know everything." ”

Feng Yu was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and smiled lightly, "Okay, you guys be careful all the way." Saying that, Feng Yu looked at Shangguan Yunrui and said, "Yunrui, on the way back, you have to listen to him obediently, do you know?" ”

This time, Shangguan Yunrui unexpectedly didn't be coquettish, but just nodded a little aggrievedly: "I know, I will be obedient." ”

"Then I'm leaving."

Xiao Yan took Shangguan Yunrui out of the palace, and on the way back, Shangguan Yunrui was obedient and did not make any noise, and followed Xiao Yan quietly.

And Xiao Yan didn't notice Shangguan Yunrui's strangeness because he was thinking about things, and the two of them walked towards the Dian Palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the Dian Palace, Xiao Yan turned to look at Shangguan Yunrui, and saw that he seemed to be in no energy, so he didn't embarrass him.

"Do you want me to send you in?"

Shangguan Yunrui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Xiao Yan looked at Shangguan Yunrui and frowned, he always felt that Shangguan Yunrui was different, but he couldn't say what was different.

Sensing Xiao Yan's eyes, a trace of panic flashed in Shangguan Yunrui's eyes, and then he pretended to be scared and said, "You hate me, if you go in and complain to Erniang, I will be beaten." ”

It seems to be his own delusion. Xiao Yan touched his nose a little speechlessly, and then said, "Okay, then you go in by yourself, I'll go." ”

Shangguan Yunrui pursed his lips and turned around and walked into the Dian Palace, Xiao Yan watched him go in before leaving.

Back at the General's Mansion, Xiao Yan stayed in the study for a long time, and today's words from Concubine Hui and the queen reminded him that he couldn't wait like this any longer, he had to ask the emperor for marriage as soon as possible.

After careful consideration, Xiao Yan made a decision, he wanted to ask the emperor for marriage when he went to court tomorrow.

The next day, Xiao Yan was ready to wait for the civil and military officials to finish talking about the state, and then ask the emperor for marriage.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, Lin Wanwei suddenly walked out and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is still half a moon, and the envoys of Rongyi are about to arrive in the northern capital." The minister thought that he should prepare in advance, so as not to have an accident at that time, so that the Rongyi envoy would misunderstand that our north was not sincere and undermine the friendship between the two countries. ”

"What Aiqing said is extremely true." The emperor nodded with a serious expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiao Aiqing." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan walked to the center of the main hall, "The minister is here." ”

"You are responsible for the itinerary of the Rongyi envoys to the northern capital, you should make a plan as soon as possible, so as not to panic at that time."

Xiao Yan hesitated, bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Do you have anything to do?"

The emperor looked at the courtiers in the main hall, and when he saw that no one spoke, he said: "Since it is a matter of business, then retreat from the court." ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Xiao Yan watched the emperor leave, frowned, thought for a while, and immediately chased after him.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say."

Gonggong Li, who was following the emperor, turned around and stopped Xiao Yan and said to him: "General Xiao, please stay, this move is disrespectful to the emperor." ”

Xiao Yan looked at the emperor who turned to face him, and said a little anxiously: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important." ”

The emperor frowned displeasedly, glanced at Gonggong Li, and Gonggong Li understood and stepped aside.

"Tell me, what's the matter with making you so rude."

Xiao Yan immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister and the princess have long been in deep love, and the minister begged the emperor to give him a marriage." ”

Now that the decision has been made, no matter what, Xiao Yan still has to speak, at least to know what the emperor's attitude is.

Who knew that after the emperor heard Xiao Yan's words, his face immediately sank a little, and the tone of his voice became very low.

"Rongyi's envoys are coming, Xiao Aiqing should put his mind on this matter, as for the matter of giving marriage, postpone it."

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then said a little anxiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers ......"

"Stand down." The emperor interrupted Xiao Yan's words, and then turned to leave.

Since the emperor said that he would postpone the discussion, Xiao Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he could only deal with the affairs of the Rongyi envoys first.

At night, after the emperor dealt with the state affairs, Gonggong Li asked whose palace he was going to rest, which made the emperor a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a moment, the emperor got up and said, "Go to the concubine." ”

Gonggong Li's eyes changed slightly, and he immediately bent down and said, "Yes, the slave will go and pass the word." ”

The emperor went to Concubine Hui's bedroom to rest, not for other reasons, but just to give face to the Rongyi clan, because Concubine Hui's mother is the royal family of the Rongyi clan.

Now that the envoys of the Rongyi tribe are almost here, if they hear any rumors at this moment, it will surely make the relationship between the two countries awkward.

Concubine Hui was very happy when she received the news of the maid's bed, and felt that the emperor had finally remembered her goodness, so she immediately asked Lanzhi to help her dress up carefully.

On the second day, the news of Rong Yi's visit spread all over the harem, and the concubines all knew that Hui Guifei's mother was the Rongyi royal family, and this Rong Yi's visit was equivalent to the arrival of Hui Guifei's maiden family.

And because Concubine Hui Guifei has regained her grace and relies on her mother to be a member of the Rongyi royal family, she feels that she has reached the day of her emergence, and her words and deeds are very ostentatious.

In the early morning of this day, Feng Yu took Qin'er to greet the queen, and happened to hear the queen being angry, and vaguely heard the name of Concubine Hui.

"The princess has arrived."

Feng Yu entered the house, saw that the queen's face was very ugly, and couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, and walked over and said, "Queen Mother, the son of the retainer has come to invite you." ”

"Get up."

Walking to the chair and sitting down, Feng Yu looked at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, what happened, Fang Caierchen seems to have heard that the Queen Mother is angry, did anyone make the Queen Mother angry?" ”

"Who else?" The queen gasped angrily and said to Feng Yu: "Since the news of Na Rongyi's envoy's visit spread in the harem, Concubine Na Hui has become very arrogant. ”

"Her words and deeds are very rampant, and she almost makes people call her a queen."

"Is there such a thing?!" Feng Yu pretended to be surprised.

The queen was so angry that she didn't answer Feng Yu, and the palace maid who served her peeked at her, then looked at Feng Yu and said, "It's more than that." ”

"Today, the harem concubines came to ask Niangniang for peace, and Concubine Hui was late, and there was no courtesy at all when she asked Niangniang for peace, and she was exempted from even saluting under the pretext that she was unwell."

"Not feeling well?" Feng Yu was puzzled, seeing that the queen's face instantly became ugly.

The palace maid's face became a little unnatural, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "What do you say about being unwell, you are actually showing off the emperor's favor to the mother and the concubines." ”

Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then understood what the palace maid meant, her face became a little heavy, she didn't think that the visit of Rongyi's envoys would cause these things.

"Queen Mother, why did Concubine Hui suddenly become so arrogant? Is there any particular reason? ”

The queen snorted angrily and said: "Qiluo, you don't know about this matter, Concubine Hui's mother is a member of the Rongyi royal family, so Rongyi is her backer, and this time the Rongyi envoy visited, she would be so unscrupulous." ”

"I see." Feng Yu suddenly realized, thought about it, and comforted the queen: "The queen mother doesn't have to be too angry, what Concubine Hui did was seen by her father." ”

"Now that I have resumed my grace to her, I guess I don't want the relationship with the Rongyi clan to be too stiff, and as soon as the Rongyi envoy leaves, there is no backer, and Concubine Hui will not be so presumptuous."

"After all, in this harem, there are many people who are not used to seeing her style, and someone will rectify her when the time comes."

The queen was silent with a solemn face, and the palace maid beside her also persuaded: "Yes, Niangniang, the princess is right." ”

"That Hui Guifei is arrogant now, and after the Rongyi envoy leaves, it's not too late to find a chance to punish her and vent her anger."

Feng Yu and the palace maid sang and harmonized, and finally made the queen's face soothe, she looked at Feng Yu and said: "Qiluo, you and Hui Guifei have always been at odds, this time the Rongyi envoy is visiting, I am afraid that Hui Guifei will take advantage of this opportunity to make ghosts, you should be careful." ”

Feng Yu nodded with a smile and said, "Queen Mother, please relax, I am not a vegetarian, as long as she Hui Guifei dares to take the initiative to provoke me, I will definitely fight back tenfold and hundredfold." ”

After leaving the queen's palace, Feng Yu turned around and went to Concubine Qing's bedroom, she was a little worried that Concubine Hui would be unfavorable to Concubine Qing.

"Why did the princess come here?"

Feng Yu sat on the stool and said to Concubine Qing: "I just came from the queen mother, and the queen mother is angry because of Concubine Hui. ”

Hearing this, Concubine Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Then Lin Hui is really lucky." It's easy to make the emperor dissatisfied with her, and now there is a visit from Rongyi's envoys, which makes her make a comeback. ”

"It is inevitable that the envoys of Rongyi will visit, and now you can only protect yourself." Feng Yu persuaded, then paused, and continued: "But you have to remember that in this harem, the most powerful is always the queen mother. ”

"Since my father has designated the queen as the lord of the harem, he has put the power in her hands."

"Now that Concubine Hui is relying on her mother to be the royal family of Rongyi, she is rude to her mother, and after the Rongyi envoy leaves, she will naturally settle the new accounts and the old accounts together."

Concubine Qing looked at Feng Yu with some puzzlement, "What does the princess mean ......?"

"Before the Rongyi envoy leaves the northern capital, try to avoid meeting with Concubine Hui, lest she be embarrassed and suppress you. After all, at this time, in order to preserve the relationship with the Rongyi clan, the father would not do anything to Concubine Hui, so he ......"

Feng Yu didn't finish the rest of the words, she knew that Concubine Qing would definitely understand.

Sure enough, Concubine Qing thought about it for a while, and immediately understood, and thanked Fengyu, "Thank you for the princess's advice, I know what to do." ”
