Chapter Twenty-Nine

"How about the slave maid exchange you for Qi Xiang? It is said that this aroma can cure all kinds of diseases when used in medicine, and it is believed that it is also beneficial to the mother's body. Compared to Miaolu, it is obvious that Miaoqing understands Feng Wu better, and after changing the incense, Miaoqing made a red date and wolfberry tea for Feng Wu, handed it to her and said: "Niang Niang drink some of this to moisten the spleen and eyes." Tomorrow the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet lady still has to preside over it, and early in the morning, Miao Green went to the Internal Affairs Office to help arrange it. Besides, the fifteenth day of the first month is the birthday of the mother, and I have to have a good time this year. ”

"Birthday, ......" She will be twenty-nine years old after the New Year, and the fifteenth day of the first month of the previous year coincided with Li Jingxi's entry into the palace, and everyone's attention was focused on Li Jingxi, who could still take care of her birthday? Last year's birthday, she unfortunately caught up with illness, but it didn't matter, she didn't care much about this. Feng Wu paused for a moment, and then changed the topic suddenly: "Bengong wants to find someone for Miaolu, Bengong still belongs to the prince, what do you think?" "Feng Wu has no concubines, and only by winning over the crown prince can she make her position as the queen and even the future queen mother more stable.

The slave maid thought that last time Niangniang wanted to marry the third lady to the prince, but she was calculated by the prince, and I believe that the prince has a deep gap with Niangniang. If this time the marriage is given directly. Although the prince can't refuse, Miaolu is just a mere concubine when she marries, especially the prince and princess have strong feelings, Miaolu can't get any benefits, maybe she will offend the princess's mother's family. Miao Qing calmly weighed it, Feng Wu thought about it and felt that what Miao Qing said was reasonable, and seeing that Feng Wu was shaken, Miao Qing continued to analyze: "The slave understands that Niang Niang urgently needs to envelop the prince's mood, but the prince has become estranged from the Feng family because of the abolition, and it is because of this that Niang Niang will try her best to bridge it, isn't it?" But after all the previous experiences, can't Niang Niang still see that the prince will not be with us? Miaoqing's next words could be said to be a big rebellion, so she lowered her voice to the lowest and said: "Since the crown prince is not used by Niangniang, and Niangniang needs a loyal heir, then...... Just don't do it, just change the heir who is satisfied with the mother. ”

Listening to Miaoqing's words, Feng Wu narrowed her phoenix eyes dangerously, although Miaoqing's words were very rebellious, but she poked Feng Wu's heart every sentence, and sure enough, Miaoqing was the roundworm in her stomach. Feng Wu suddenly laughed, and she said as if she was saying an inconsequential joke: "It's a good choice for this palace to look at King Jin's child. "If you only talk about the five princes who are close to Feng Yi, they are undoubtedly the best candidates, but the emperor is already on guard against the Feng family, and if the Feng family does not fall for a day, the emperor will not let the children with the Feng family's blood have a chance. Moreover, if the Feng family really supports Fengyi's mother and son, will there still be a place for her Fengwu to stand on the day when the five princes inherit the unification? Feng Wu is not satisfied with just being the queen mother, she wants to become the only queen mother, just like the current queen mother! Duan Yingjin's biological mother died early, and her mother's family was humble and powerless, such a prince is best controlled, and he is his own brother-in-law, at least half of her relatives.

"Mother, you might as well try." Miao Qing agrees with this.

"This palace remembers that King Jin has an uncle, and he hasn't married a wife at twenty-seven? Now do you do the official from the five grades? Duan Yingjin's biological mother, Bai Lucalyx, was originally a singer in the Mansion, and her younger brothers and sisters also followed her to make a living in the Princess's Mansion. Later, she was favored by the emperor, and her sister Bai Youhan was able to enter the palace and do the master dance; His younger brother Bai Yuexiao was also appointed as a cabinet attendant of Zheng Liupin, and it was not until Duan Yingjin married the daughter of the Feng family and crowned the king of Jin that he was promoted to the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.

"It's Bai Yuexiao, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple." Bai Yuexiao is loyal and honest, and has no ambitions, but he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. As long as the queen bestows favors on her, I believe that she will be loyal to the queen and the king of Jin in the future.

"Then it's not a grievance to assign Miao Green to him as the main room." As soon as Feng Wu's voice fell, he heard Miao Lu's clear voice spread in the courtyard, and Miao Qing and Feng Wu looked at each other and smiled.

Miao Lu hurriedly ran into the dormitory to report to Feng Wu that the emperor was on his way to Fengwu Palace, Feng Wu frowned slightly when he heard this, what is Duan Yulin doing here? It's still a while before lunch. Miaoqing seemed to see the master's thoughts, and persuaded with a smile: "It's a good thing that the emperor came to see Niangniang!" Presumably to discuss the matter of tomorrow's banquet with the mother, the slave and maid will go to prepare lunch now, I believe that it will be time for the emperor to discuss with the mother. Feng Wu didn't understand that Miao Qing wanted her to be close to the emperor more, but unfortunately her relationship with Duan Yulin was not as simple as that of an ordinary couple.

As he was talking, Duan Yulin arrived at Fengwu Palace, and Miao Qing and Miao Lu retreated together after preparing refreshments. Feng Wu brought the tea to the emperor: "The emperor tastes it, the new tea sent by the Internal Affairs Office, the concubines haven't had time to open it." Duan Yulin was also a little thirsty along the way, so he took the taste directly, and couldn't help but praise after drinking: "It's really good tea!" It's the best Enshi Yulu, and the good tea of the Internal Affairs Office has been sent to the queen, no wonder I feel that the big red robes of Chaoyang Hall are tasteless. "Enshi Yulu has very strict requirements for harvesting, the buds and leaves must be delicate and even, the tea strips are tight and thin, the color is bright green, even and straight, like pine needles; The tea soup is clear and bright, the aroma is fresh, the taste is sweet and mellow, the leaf background color is green like jade, and the "three greens" (tea green, soup green, and leaf bottom green) are its significant characteristics.

"The concubines don't understand this, and the emperor thinks it's good to let the Internal Affairs Office send some too. It's just that the name of this tea is special, but it doesn't mean that the emperor wants to give rain and dew to the sisters of the harem? Feng Wu was also joking casually, but he didn't expect Duan Yulin to feel very reasonable when he heard it, and nodded frequently: "The queen really knows the subtleties, and she can associate these many meanings just from the name of the tea." Even if the queen doesn't remind me, I know that the rain and dew will be even, but the harem concubines are pregnant, and the body is not going to be raised a lot, and there are more noble people in the recent period, but the queen doesn't have to worry about me being too favored, I know it. ”

"The concubines don't dare, the emperor just has his own ideas." Feng Wucai didn't bother to care who Duan Yulin favored him, whether it was Li Jingxi, Fang Huanshan, or Luo Zixiao or Jiang Lianhuan, it didn't matter anyone, as long as it didn't threaten the status of the Feng family, she wouldn't interfere.

"Since the twenty-sixth 'sealing of the treasure' of the lunar month, I have not been idle for a day, giving the ministers the word 'blessing', sealing the purse, and the banquet list for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet must also be determined in advance, as if I have more things to do than usual, and I am very tired." Saying that, Duan Yulin pinched his forehead, looking very tired, he beckoned to Feng Wu and said, "Come here, pinch me." Feng Wu didn't dare to disobey, moved to the couch behind Duan Yulin, pressed his hands on his shoulders and kneaded them, and Duan Yulin squinted his eyes comfortably. While giving him a massage, Feng Wu talked about tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet: "This year's Chinese New Year's Eve, King Jing and King Ning are both here, this time it can be regarded as a family reunion, and the Queen Mother and her old man must also be happy." ”

"Hmm. You are filial, and you always think about your mother. Duan Yulin was slightly displeased, who didn't know that the Queen Mother was the queen's aunt, and in the final analysis, they all had a constant connection with the Feng family. Feng Wu knew that he had successfully disgusted Duan Yulin, and there was no need to say more to annoy the emperor, so he quickly changed the topic he liked to see: "The concubines not only miss the queen mother, but also always care about the princes and princesses, presumably the emperor also knows that the princess of Thailand is happy." After the crown princess became pregnant with the emperor's eldest grandson, the emperor's grandchildren added another ding, and the concubines didn't have time to congratulate the emperor! Now there are two concubines in the harem who are pregnant with dragon descendants, which shows that the descendants of my Dahan royal family are prosperous. ”

Duan Yulin was in a slightly gloomy mood at this time, grabbed Feng Wu's hand and moved it from his shoulders to the sides of his head, and Feng Wu took the opportunity to help him press his temples again. Duan Yulin sighed with satisfaction: "Alas, it's much more comfortable! Tomorrow's banquet will require the queen to worry more. It's time for dinner now, so I'll use it in your palace. Feng Wu said yes, shouting Miao Qing Miao Green to set up a meal. During the banquet, Feng Wu and Duan Yulin mentioned the idea of letting Miao Lu out of the palace to marry, of course, he didn't say that he wanted to make Miao Lu and Bai Yuexiao a pair, only that Miao Lu was old and it was time to release him from the palace. Duan Yulin also felt that it was reasonable, and agreed without much thought.

After the meal, Yulin left, and Feng Wu could put down the shelves that had been served all morning. She confessed her arrangements for Miaolu to Miaolu herself, and Miaolu did not object, but was reluctant to leave Fengwu. Feng Wu comforted her and said: "You marry Bai Yuexiao to serve the palace, he will be a good husband, and the palace will not harm you." Miao Lu thanked him with tears, and could only leave the palace as soon as the year was over and wait for Feng Wu's arrangement. After Miaolu retreated, Feng Wu asked Miaoqing guiltily: "Do you blame this palace for only letting Miaolu out, but you still want to keep you in this desperate place to accompany this palace to continue to suffer?" "Actually, Miaoqing's age is a little older than Miaolu, but the current Fengwu is really inseparable from Miaoqing's arm.

"The slave maid only wants to accompany the mother for the rest of her life, and she never thinks about anything else. I also hope that the mother will not dislike the slave and the maid, and don't drive the slave and the maid away. Miao Qing bowed deeply to Feng Wu to show her loyalty, Feng Wu was moved, and personally helped her up, and Feng Wu was very pleased to be this loyal servant.

That night, Feng Wu sent the idea of marrying Miao Lu Xu to Bai Yuexiao to the Jin Palace, which was undoubtedly conveying a message of alliance to the King of Jin. Feng Qing, who heard the news, couldn't help but be overjoyed, since her self-assertion ruined Feng Wu's arrangement during the draft, Feng Wu didn't care much about her, and this time she threw an olive branch to the Jin Palace, proving that the Feng family did not give up on her! Feng Qing decided to tell Duan Yingjin the good news immediately, so she wanted to ask Liu Fu to go to the study with her, but she shouted a few times and couldn't see Liu Fu's figure, and she didn't know where she had gone. Feng Qing couldn't wait for her to come back, so she called another maid in her room, Coral, and went straight to the study.

When she arrived at the study, Feng Qing was so excited that she didn't bother to knock on the door, so she pushed the door directly and entered: "Lord Wang! The prince ......"

It's just that what catches my eye is not a pleasant scene, I saw that Liu Fu, who didn't have time to put away her laughter, saw Feng Qing come in and stood up from Duan Yingjin's lap in a panic, her expression immediately became shocked and scared, full of embarrassment of being knocked out by doing something bad. Duan Yingjin, on the other hand, seemed much calmer, obviously not feeling that she had done anything wrong.
