"Sister, for my good, why don't you let me see the emperor?" Feng Qing didn't understand why Feng Wu didn't seize this great opportunity to let her show her face in front of the emperor.

"The little lord is calm and don't be impatient, the queen has her own arrangements. At dinner, the lady will invite the little master to come over to talk, and the little master will be informed of the arrangements at that time. The slave and maid arranged lunch for the little master, and after a while, the little master was invited to eat with peace of mind, and the slave and maid were waiting outside, and the little master had any instructions to call the slave and maid. Miao Qing bowed to Feng Qing and retreated.

Seeing Miao Qing's figure disappear in front of him, Feng Qing's face turned cold, and he ripped off a sterling silver hollow incense ball tied to his belt, and complained hatefully: "Even a slave dares to sneer at me, it's really a great majesty!" When I become the emperor's favorite concubine, see how I clean up this group of! ”

"Miss, don't be angry, those slaves are dogs who look down on people. Let's listen to what the queen has to say in the evening, if the queen's arrangement is really beneficial to us, if it's just perfunctory, then we'll figure it out on our own. Liu Fu was much calmer than Feng Qing, and constantly comforted Feng Qing.

"You're right, we can't mess up first. I'm glad I brought you, Liufu. Feng Qing also calmed down at this time and decided to believe the eldest sister once.

"Then the young lady should put this on first, don't let the mother see that you are unhappy." Liu Fu tied the incense ball that Feng Qing had ripped off just now back to Feng Qing's waist. This silver hollow incense ball was specially given to Feng Qing before Feng Wu got married, and a "Qing" word engraved on the inside can be seen from the hollow of the incense ball, which is a unique commemoration left by Feng Wu to his sister. Feng Qing wore it on her body this time to show Feng Wu that she had never forgotten the sisterhood between the two for so many years.

Turning his gaze back to the main hall, at this time Emperor Duan Yulin had arrived, and after Miao Lu waited for the emperor and queen to clean their hands, the servants in the imperial dining room brought lunch to the table one after another. After the emperor and queen took their seats, except for the two close attendants, the other idle people all withdrew. Feng Wu personally prepared vegetables for the emperor, she first served a bowl of stewed pigeon and bamboo shoot soup and handed it to Duan Yulin: "The emperor tastes this soup, this is what I ordered the small kitchen to make alone, and the taste is particularly delicious." The summer heat is heavy, and it always causes a poor appetite, and drinking a bowl of this soup is the most appetizing. ”

"I heard that Feng Qing lives with you, why don't you see her today?" Duan Yulin picked up the soup bowl and drank the soup and asked casually. Feng Wu heard the emperor ask about Feng Qing, and the hand that scooped the soup was unconscious, and then let go of the soup spoon, and after all, he didn't serve it to himself, but just took a sip of the tea at hand, and said: "Qing'er is a show girl, and it is not appropriate to see the etiquette before the palace election." She herself knows the rules very well, so she took the initiative to avoid it. After speaking, he wanted to pick up the teacup and take another sip, but was stopped by Duan Yulin: "Don't drink that before eating, it hurts your stomach carefully, this soup is very good, you can also drink a bowl." After speaking, he motioned to Miao Lu to put a bowl of Feng Wu too, Miao Lu hurriedly added soup to Feng Wu, Feng Wu put down the teacup, drank the soup with a spoon, and showed a pleased smile on his face, and continued to give the emperor vegetables.

"By the way, I told you before that the prince wants to take a concubine, how are you preparing?" Duan Yulin remembered what he promised Li Jingxi, and asked about the progress by the way.

"The concubines have already been arranged, as long as the crown princess is selected, the marriage decree can be sent to the Guanju Palace." Feng Wu's heart, which was a little warm just now, instantly became cold, she snorted coldly in her heart, but said with a smile on the surface: "The concubine has not only arranged this matter, but even the matter of Li Zhaoyi's promotion to the throne has been prepared by the Internal Affairs Office, just waiting for the emperor to give the title." ”

"Well, you've always done things properly, don't worry." Duan Yulin threw an appreciative look at Feng Wu, and Feng Wu also smiled at the emperor, but he sneered in his heart.

"Speaking of the crown princess, has the emperor already chosen someone?" The prince is not born to Feng Wu, and he has never been close to her, if it weren't for the vitality hurt when he was born to Duanxiang, the imperial doctor concluded that her chances of getting pregnant again were slim, and she didn't have to pretend to care about everything about the prince. As the queen but has no concubine, this is a very bad thing, so Feng Wu has been winning the trust of the crown prince and the second prince over the years.

"There are a lot of outstanding girls in this year's show, and it is difficult for me to choose for a while, but I have a few suitable candidates in my heart."

"Oh? Would the emperor mind saying it out and letting his concubines serve as staff officers? ”

"Why not, the prince's marriage should have been asked by his mother-in-law. Judging from the records in the roster, Xia Yunxi, the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy, and Yang Yiqing, the sister of the squire of the Ministry of War, are all good candidates, in fact, the daughter of the secretary is also good, but it is a pity that she is a concubine, and the princess is the future mother of the country, and she needs to be a concubine. What does the queen think? Duan Yulin sandwiched a chopstick and steamed treasure fish, the taste was extremely fresh, and he was very satisfied.

"Is that all? Why does the concubine feel that the emperor seems to have left someone behind? Feng Wu couldn't guess whether the emperor was intentional or unintentional, and as soon as she came, she asked if Feng Qing was there, but she was not mentioned when it came to the candidate for the crown princess.

"Oh? Is there one? Which other famous lady was missed by me? Duan Yulin looked at Feng Wu meaningfully, and Feng Wu did not beat around the bush, and directly reminded the emperor: "Didn't the emperor forget the concubine's Qing'er?" Hearing Feng Wu's recommendation of Feng Qing, Duan Yulin burst out laughing, and this laugh made Feng Wu even more confused: "Why is the emperor laughing?" ”

"Queen, Queen, you don't want to tell me what to do. Your father sent Feng Qing into the palace, didn't he want her to become the imperial concubine? How dare you go against your father's will and promote her to be the crown princess? You're a ...... It's a dilemma! Feng Tianxiang hinted to him more than once that he wanted to send his youngest daughter into the palace to accompany the king, but he couldn't agree or not.

"Emperor Mingjian, although the concubine is the daughter of the Feng family, she has already married His Majesty and married to this great Han country! From the day the concubine became the queen, the concubine completely dedicated herself to His Majesty and the whole country. The concubines make all decisions with the interests of His Majesty and the country first, not the interests of the family. The emperor is the king, and the concubines and their fathers are both ministers, and the concubines should naturally respect the emperor instead of obeying their father's arrangements in everything. Feng Wu's confession clearly stated her position - she was on the emperor's side. The power of the Feng clan in the court has become stronger and bigger with the glory of the Feng sisters, and this is what the emperor fears the most, so Feng Wu can never show the same spirit as the Feng clan at this time. As for whether the emperor believes it or not, it is not up to her to control it.

"Good! All right! I didn't choose the wrong queen. As for the arrangement for Feng Qing, Rong Zhen thought about it again. Duan Yulin put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a hand towel: "I have used it well, and there are still folds to be approved, so I will go back to the Qinzheng Palace first." After speaking, he walked out of the main hall with the eunuch.

"Concubines send your majesty!" Feng Wu and a dry palace people sent each other a big gift.
