Chapter 41: The Show Begins
"Princess, here we are."
Fengyu lifted the curtain and saw that she had already arrived at her bedroom, turned around and took her things, and then got out of the carriage with Qin'er's support.
"Let's go inside."
Xiao Yan, who was walking next to him, saw Feng Yu holding the bamboo leaf grass ring he gave him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he became happy.
"Looks like the princess likes this grass ring."
Xiao Yan's sudden voice made Feng Yu stunned for a moment, and after reacting to what he said, he quickly stuffed the grass ring into Qin'er's hand.
"Who said I liked it, I just thought it was a little strange and kept it for fun."
Not to mention Xiao Yan, even Qin'er felt that Fengyu was shy at the moment, but the two of them didn't poke it, just watched her smile secretly.
After all, it was a harem, Xiao Yan didn't want to stay long, and left after saying a few words to Fengyu.
Not long after Xiao Yan left, Concubine Qing came to greet Fengyu, the two had not seen each other for many months, and they sat together and chatted for a long time.
"So, during my absence, Concubine Hui was favored again?" Feng Yu frowned, she didn't expect Concubine Hui to regain her grace so easily.
Concubine Qing sighed helplessly, looked at Feng Yu and said, "That Lin Hui is quite skillful, and she knows how to please the emperor, and this palace is also powerless to fight against her." ”
"The princess doesn't know, just because of Concubine Hui, it is difficult to see the emperor in this palace now."
Seeing Concubine Qing's decadent face, Feng Yu smiled and comforted: "It's okay, now that I'm back, she won't be complacent for too long." ”
"What does the princess want to do next?" Concubine Qing said with some concern.
"In a few days it will be the Emperor's sacrifice day, and I will take this opportunity to let you regain the favor of your father." Fengyu swore that since she could give Concubine Qing a new life, she would naturally be able to make her smooth sailing in the future.
Concubine Qing was still a little worried, and said, "That Hui Guifei's forces are all over the palace, and it is not easy to deal with her. ”
Feng Yu chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "There is no need to worry about this, I have my own plans, you just need to help me when the time is right." ”
"Okay, this palace will definitely assist the princess."
"Okay, mother, go back and have a good rest, don't think too much." Feng Yu got up and straightened her clothes, and said with a smile on her face: "As for me, go to see my father." ”
On the other hand, the news of Feng Yu's return to the palace naturally reached the ears of Concubine Hui, who was drinking tea and chatting with Li Guiren at that time.
"Does the mother know? The princess has returned to the palace. ”
Concubine Hui held the teacup in her hand, looked at her and said, "When did it happen?" ”
"At noon today, I was personally escorted back to the dormitory by General Xiao." Li Guiren played with his handkerchief as he spoke, and saw that Concubine Hui's face became a little ugly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"This princess has been outside for a few months, but the palace has been peaceful, and now that she is back, maybe there will be some trouble?"
Concubine Hui snorted disdainfully, and said mockingly: "It's just a princess, is there any difference between her coming back and not coming back?" ”
"That's a bad thing."
Concubine Li next to her shook her head seriously and said to her: "The princess is the only princess in the northern capital, and she has been favored by the emperor since she was a child. ”
"Don't forget, she rescued Concubine Qing from the cold palace, and sometimes one of her words is more useful than others doing ten things."
Speaking of Concubine Qing, Concubine Hui's face became even more ugly, she put the teacup on the table, and then said, "This palace is tired, go back and rest first." ”
After speaking, Concubine Hui got up and left, while Concubine Li and Concubine Li behind her looked at each other and smiled, sat back on the stool and continued to drink tea.
Concubine Hui returned to the palace, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, if it weren't for Fengyu, Concubine Qing would not have been able to come out of the cold palace, and she would not have been able to frame her to gain the emperor's favor.
Even if she regained the emperor's favor when Fengyu was not in the palace, but now that Fengyu is back, she will definitely fight with her in the future.
"Lanzhi, bring all the pearls and jadeites that the emperor gave to the palace, and the palace is going to meet the princess who returned to the palace."
Concubine Hui changed into luxurious clothes, and hung the pearl necklace rewarded by the emperor around her neck, as well as jade hairpins, agate, and other objects, all dressed up.
After getting dressed, Concubine Hui took people to see Fengyu, she wanted Fengyu to see, even if she used tricks to make her fall out of favor, she could still regain it.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is asking to see you outside the palace."
"Let her in."
Concubine Hui took Lan Zhi into the imperial study, and saw Feng Yu playing chess with the emperor, so she walked over with a smile and said, "The emperor is auspicious." ”
"No need to be polite, why is Concubine Ai here?"
Feng Yu glanced up at Concubine Hui, and when she saw that she was dressed in a noble dress, she smiled disdainfully in her heart, and then continued to look at the chessboard.
"I heard that the princess returned to the palace today, and the concubine went to the palace to visit, who expected to go and learn that the princess was here in the emperor, so I found it." After finishing speaking, Concubine Hui looked at Feng Yu and said, "How many months has the princess been outside the palace, is she still having fun?" ”
"Thank you Niangniang for your concern, I have a good life outside the palace." Feng Yu said without raising her head.
Seeing that Fengyu was unwilling to pay attention to her, Concubine Hui thought that she was unhappy because she was favored, so she walked to the emperor's side with a proud face.
Originally, Fengyu didn't want to deal with Concubine Hui, she just wanted to get along with the emperor for a while today, who knows......
Looking at Concubine Hui's flattering appearance, Feng Yu suddenly became angry, raised her eyes to look at her, and pretended to be unintentional: "Concubine Guifei is dressed up very gorgeously today, but what is the joy?" ”
"Doesn't the princess know? The palace has always been dressed like this, but today these are all gifts from the emperor, and the palace wears it to express its love for the emperor. As Concubine Hui spoke, she looked at the emperor with a tender and sweet face.
Feng Yu lowered her head and smiled lightly, looked at her and said casually: "Do you know what day it is?" ”
Concubine Hui thought about it, shook her head and said, "I don't know, please ask the princess to prompt." ”
"The concubine is really a noble person, how forgetful." Feng Yu got up and walked to Concubine Hui's side, looked at her, and said, "In a few days, it will be the emperor's sacrifice day, and the concubine Niangniang is still dressed up so gorgeously, which is regarded as disrespectful to the emperor." ”
As soon as Feng Yu's words were finished, the atmosphere became serious, Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, turned her head and saw that the emperor's face had become ugly, and she was so frightened that she quickly took off the pearl necklace and other accessories.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't know how many days are the days of the emperor's sacrifice, and the concubines ...... The concubine did not mean it. ”
Seeing that the emperor had a gloomy face and didn't speak, Concubine Hui hurriedly knelt in front of him, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the concubine just wants the emperor to see the concubine ......"
"Alright, alright, you can go back first." The emperor interrupted her impatiently.
Concubine Hui wanted to say something, but when she saw that the emperor's face was dark, and Feng Yu looked at her from the side and smiled, she bit her lip, bowed her head and said, "Yes, the concubine is retiring." ”
"Father, the sons and daughters will also go back first, and I will come to visit later." Feng Yu stood up and saluted.
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
Feng Yu walked out of the imperial study and saw Concubine Hui standing aside looking at her, so she walked over to her with a smile, "Is Niangniang waiting for me?" ”
Concubine Hui snorted coldly, as if mocking: "The princess is really powerful, it is really amazing that the emperor is dissatisfied with the palace with one sentence." ”
Feng Yu played with the jade pendant on her waist, and said with a disapproving expression: "How can I be as powerful as a mother." I've only been away for a while, and my mother can regain my father's favor, and my mother's methods are really clever. ”
"The princess is really good at laughing." Concubine Hui chuckled, looked at Feng Yu and said: "This palace has the emperor's favor because the emperor likes this palace, and this palace has never used any means." ”
"Perhaps." Feng Yu sighed, turned to look at her and said, "Anyway, heaven is a good reincarnation, what Niangniang has done, God knows, I believe that one day, retribution will come to the door." ”
"Are you cursing Hongu?" Hui Guifei gritted her teeth angrily.
Feng Yu didn't want to have any more entanglements with Hui Guifei, so she chuckled lightly and said, "Guifei Niangniang, I kindly warn you, don't do any more crooked thoughts, otherwise I won't be easy to mess with." ”
After finishing speaking, Feng Yu took Qin'er and left, leaving Concubine Hui standing in place.
Looking at Feng Yu's back, Concubine Hui clenched her fists and said with a look of resentment: "Feng Yu, don't be complacent, one day, this palace will settle all the past and future grievances on you." ”
However, Feng Yu's warning to Hui Guifei did not seem to have an effect, and the day before the sacrifice day, Hui Guifei asked someone to give Feng Yu laxatives on the day of the sacrifice so that she could not participate in the memorial service.
Because of the previous ghost pretending, Concubine Hui Guifei did it extremely secretive this time, but she never expected that there would be Xiao Yan's eyeliner in Fengyu Palace.
"General, the informant came early in the morning to report that Concubine Hui sent someone to drug the princess."
Xiao Yan said eagerly: "How is the princess?" ”
"The general doesn't have to worry, the informant has replaced the drugged food, and the princess is safe and sound at the moment."
Lin Ye hurriedly reassured, and seeing that Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, he clenched his fists and continued: "The informant has already checked it, and what is ordered is a laxative. ”
"Laxatives?" Xiao Yan frowned, why is it a laxative? Concubine Hui has wanted to murder the princess for a long time, and it can't be as simple as just laxatives.
By the way, today is the day to commemorate the emperor, I'm afraid this Hui Guifei doesn't want the princess to participate.
"Let the informant return the medicine to Concubine Hui." Xiao Yan said expressionlessly, then paused for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "By the way, let him calculate the time, preferably before the memorial begins." ”
"Yes."
After sending someone to drug Feng Yu, Concubine Hui Guifei did not pay special attention to Feng Yu's movements, and was bent on preparing to pay tribute to the emperor, so she didn't know that Feng Yu was still jumping around in her own bedroom at this moment.
After the informant got Xiao Yan's news, before the memorial began, he found an opportunity to put the laxative into Concubine Hui's tea, and hid aside and secretly watched her drink it.
