As soon as the emperor's ceremonial driver came out of Fengwu Palace, Duan Yulin's smiling face just turned cold, and the great eunuch Fang Da saw that the master was unhappy and gently comforted: "But the emperor doesn't like the dishes in the imperial dining room today?" Ming'er old slave let them improve. Duan Yulin sneered and said: "It's not that the imperial dining room is not doing well, it's that the queen's small kitchen is doing too well, what is it like to be able to taste other dishes after eating her dishes?" The emperor's words were obviously sandwiched with resentment towards the empress.

"Forgive the old slave for talking too much, Your Majesty is angry with the queen?" Fang Da is forty and five years old, he is an old eunuch who has been with the emperor for more than 20 years, and he knows the master's temper and mind best, and he just felt that the atmosphere was wrong when the queen proposed the candidate for the crown princess.

"Angry? In the previous dynasty, he had to suffer the anger of those henchmen of the Feng family, could he still suffer from his daughter's anger in the harem? Feng Tianxiang, the old fox, stretched out his hand so long that he even wanted to get involved in the affairs of my harem! ”

"Since the emperor doesn't like it, he put the brand of the little master Feng when the palace is elected."

"It's easy to say, it doesn't matter if I'm a brand, those minions of the Feng clan don't know what to block me! That's it, isn't it just a palace concubine, he sent it in and I took it. "He doesn't believe that Feng Tianxiang can still turn all the women in the harem into the women of the Feng family?

"According to the old slave's opinion, the queen's proposal just now is not unavoidable." Fonda bowed low, but his eyes were shrewd and sharp.

"The crown princess? Following the queen's proposal, there is no need to accept a difficult woman, and it gives the Feng family enough face, even if the old fox is unwilling, he can't blame me. It seems that the queen is really thinking about me! Duan Yulin narrowed his eyes, and a trace of resentment seemed to flash in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "But, Fang Da, the crown princess is the future queen." The queen is really a good calculation! ”

"Your Majesty, the Zheng family used to be the crown princess after the abolition." Fonda approached the Emperor and whispered the meaningful words. Duan Yulin slowly turned his face and stared at Fang Da for a long time, he thought that he was in his prime, and he still had a lot of time to remove the obstacles in front of him little by little, and when the crown prince ascended the throne, the problems he was worried about now should no longer pose any threat to the crown prince, thinking of this, the corners of the emperor's mouth rose little by little.

After the emperor left, Miaoqing also returned to the main hall from the side hall, but saw the queen holding the Yueqin, who had not practiced for a long time, playing there, and when she heard the footsteps, Feng Wu's eyes did not raise and knew who it was: "I'm back, how is Qing'er?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the little master was a little unhappy, and he made some petty temperament, which made Mama Zhao angry." Miao Qing replied truthfully.

"Stupid! At such a time, offend the teaching of Mama. Feng Wu played an unknown tune with the Yueqin, and said while playing: "But it is also expected by the palace, she has been spoiled since she was a child, and it is not surprising that she is a little willful." As long as she is willing to listen to the arrangements of the palace, she will naturally be extremely glorious in the future. I'm afraid that she won't believe in this palace and make her own opinions. "Feng Qing is thirteen years apart from her, Feng Qing was only five years old when she left the house, how much trust can there be between sisters who have rarely been close for ten years?

"Probably not, the slave maid sees that the little master has been wearing the incense ball you gave her back then, and she must still rely on you very much."

"Who wouldn't be pretty? The most important thing is what you think in your heart. We'll talk about it in the evening. After speaking, Feng Wu's movements stopped, and the sound of Yueqin stopped abruptly.

At dinner, Feng Wu and Feng Qing sisters sat together, and the two ate the delicacies on the table, with different thoughts. Feng Qing ate absent-mindedly for a meal, so she simply put away her chopsticks and stopped eating, and quietly waited for Feng Wu to finish eating.

"Qing'er, why don't you eat it? How can you be full after only eating such a few bites? Feng Wu saw Feng Qing stop chopsticks, and she couldn't eat it anymore.

"Didn't Miaoqing say that my sister has something to say to Qing'er? Then sister, let's talk about it, my sister doesn't tell Qing'er everything completely, where can Qing'er eat! Feng Qing came to Feng Wu's side, pulling Feng Wu's sleeve and coquettishly, looking like a little daughter was very cute.

"Oh well. This palace called you here to tell you that the reason why this palace didn't let you meet the emperor during the day was because this palace had other plans. ”

"What's the plan?" Feng Qing couldn't wait to find out.

"This palace wants to recommend you to be the crown princess." Feng Wu replied lightly, as if talking about something inconsequential.

"The crown princess!?" Feng Qing was surprised at first, and then puzzled: "Why do you want to recommend Qing'er to be the crown princess?" Father's intention is to make me the emperor's concubine! Feng Qing thought about it, and was a little angry: "The emperor is in his prime, how can he be the emperor's concubine as the crown princess?" I don't want it! Sister, where are you helping Qing'er? ”

"Nonsense!" Feng Wu saw that her younger sister was so willful and rude, and she was also a little angry, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Father is used to spoiling you, and he raised you to be so lawless!" If you have a temperament like you, do you want to be tired and guilty of the Feng family? Feng Qing saw that her sister was angry, so frightened that she quickly knelt down to make amends, and saw that she was so phoenix and a little unbearable, so she helped her up again, and said gently: "You kid, you are always so uncontrollable, and you don't lose your temper after listening to your sister." As he spoke, he wiped Feng Qing's tears with a silk handkerchief.

"Qing'er is wrong, my sister said it, Qing'er just listened." Feng Qing took the handkerchief in Feng Wu's hand, hid her face and sobbed.

"The imperial concubine seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is not, you should understand the truth that a companion is like a tiger. Father wants you to enter the palace as a concubine, it is nothing more than because the palace and the concubine are not as favored as before, and my father urgently needs a Feng daughter who can be loved by His Majesty. However, have you ever wondered what it will be like when you enter the palace? The emperor's lack of interest in this draft, if it weren't for the fact that there have been no large-scale draft girls since the second year of Shunjing, and the ministers are trying to handle it this year, I'm afraid it will be canceled again. What's more, the emperor is now the only one who favors Li Jingxi, and he doesn't pay attention to others at all, even if the newcomer can share the emperor's favor after entering the palace, that person will not be you. ”

"Why?" Feng Qing didn't feel that she was worse than others.

"Just because you're the daughter of the Feng family! The Feng clan's influence in the court is getting bigger and bigger, this is not what the emperor wants to see, and the emperor will not let the Feng clan continue to grow. This is also why the emperor is willing to seal the palace as the queen but refuses to get close to the palace, once you enter the palace, you will only end up in a bleak end of a long night alone, and then how should you deal with yourself? Feng Wu was a little thirsty when she said this, drank a few sips of wolfberry honeysuckle tea to moisten her throat, and then said: "It's different to be the crown princess, you are the main room, and when the prince ascends the throne, you will be the queen!" At that time, the palace will be the queen mother, and you will be the queen, which is the biggest help to the Feng family. Feng Wu also has another consideration, that is, she is afraid that Duan Yingting will not be willing to respect her as the queen mother after succeeding to the throne, only when Feng Qing becomes the future queen, and her future queen mother throne will sit firmly.

"I ......" Feng Qing was speechless, but she questioned unwillingly: "Then even if the emperor doesn't like me, you can put my brand or point it to a certain prince or prince casually, how can my sister be sure that the emperor will make me the crown princess?" My sister also said that the crown princess will be the queen of a country in the future, since the emperor doesn't want my Feng family to become bigger, how can he let the Feng family have another queen? ”

"Qing'er asked well, but the emperor could not have made better arrangements except for the crown princess. Father wants you to be a concubine, and for this reason he must have hinted to the emperor, the emperor does not want to accept you and cannot offend the Feng family, so he can only give you to someone whose status is second only to him, who can that person be if he is not the prince? Besides, if your father asks, the emperor can push it to the palace and say that the palace recommended you as the crown princess. When the time comes, the father can only blame his daughter for being troublesome, and he can't complain about the emperor. ”

"Really? Will the emperor really crown me the crown princess? Will my father be angry, and what if he blames his sister? Feng Qing still couldn't believe what Feng Wu said for a while.
