Chapter 5: The Feng Clan (1)

Feng Tianxiang, the general of Jianwei and the protector of the country, had a son and three daughters, and the eldest son Feng Ming sacrificed his life for the country in the battle of Conglong that year, and was only 20 years old when he died; The eldest daughter, Feng Wugui, is the queen of the current dynasty, in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and is very respected by the emperor; Although the second daughter Fengyi is a concubine, because of her beauty and intelligence, she also has to be named the first concubine of the four concubines, and she is given the title "Yi"; The youngest daughter Feng Qing is the old daughter of General Feng, who has been favored since she was a child, and she is slim and slim when she has just passed the show, and she is the best among the show girls this year.

Feng family has been in the army for generations, Feng Tianxiang is a long house, married to the current queen mother's sister as his wife, he also has a pair of younger siblings below: the younger brother Feng Tianju is a general at the border pass, and the second house is not prosperous, only two men have been obtained, fortunately, these two brothers are also calculated, and they have repeatedly made military exploits with their father in the border pass. My sister was a concubine of Gaozu in her early years, but unfortunately she died early without an heir. Feng Tianxiang also regretted that there was no successor to the long house, but seeing that the three daughters of his family were so competitive, he was also comforted.

In the splendid Fengwu Palace, the three sisters of the Feng family happily chatted together, and the topic was just to greet their parents at home if they were well; My sister cares about my sister, but she is still used to it when she first comes to the palace; My sister is worried about whether my sister is comfortable in the palace and other family routines. Speaking of happiness, Feng Yi remembered that the new dresses and jewelry specially prepared for her sister when she came were still waiting for the maids outside, so she called someone to send them in to Feng Qing.

"Ah, such beautiful clothes and jewelry, thank you second sister!" Feng Yi was also very happy to see that she liked it, and said that her sisters didn't have to be polite, so Feng Qing couldn't wait to take the clothes to the apse to try them on.

"You love her more than this palace." Feng Wu casually pulled back her heart today, decorated with a nine-tailed phoenix crown, and the clothes were also the regular clothes of the peony and phoenix pattern raccoon brocade, although it was not as good as when the palace was met*, but it still revealed a grace and luxury.

"The queen laughed, Feng Qing and the queen are compatriots of the same mother, how can the concubine be as close to you as Feng Qing." As he spoke, he took the Su embroidered silk fan to cover his mouth and smiled. Feng Yi because she came to the queen's bedroom, she didn't dare to be sloppy in her clothes, and the patterns on the embroidered Yun Yan wide sleeve double silk silk clothes were exactly the same as those on the silk fan.

"You and I sisters, you don't have to be called 'queen' in private. It's a shame to say, this sister of this palace has not fulfilled any responsibilities, Qing'er is much younger than us, she was too young when this palace entered the East Palace, and she rarely saw each other over the years, but it is better for you to stay with her for a long time. Feng Wu married Duan Yulin, who was still the crown prince, at the age of eighteen, Feng Qing was only five years old at that time, and the two sisters had met a limited number of times in the past ten years.

"Sister forgot, the concubine also married in the third year after you entered the East Palace, in fact, she only accompanied the family for three more years than your sister." In a blink of an eye, Feng Yi has been in the palace for almost eight years.

"Yes, in a blink of an eye, Feng Qing is going to leave the cabinet, and we are all old." Just as Feng Wu lamented that the years were unforgiving, Feng Qing, who had changed into a new outfit, came back. I saw a young girl wearing a juan gauze gold silk embroidered green luan pattern skirt, wearing pomegranate flowers inlaid with gold and red beads on her head, holding a double butterfly play silk fan, and holding a slender and charming Qian Wushuang.

"Qing'er is really a good color!" Feng Yi also had to admit that youth is capital. Feng Qing was naturally overjoyed when she received the praise, turned her head to look at Feng Wu, and asked her eldest sister's opinion with her eyes.

"It's beautiful." Feng Wu smiled slightly, but she thought in her heart that she looked like when she was young, probably so glamorous and lovely, but now the fine lines that began to appear at the corners of her eyes made her no longer able to show the coquettish demeanor of the past. Feng Wu looked at Feng Yi beside her again, although she was twenty-five years old, she was still incredibly beautiful, no wonder she was the only one who entered the palace early. Although Feng Wu was unwilling, she also had to admit that among the three sisters, Feng Yi's appearance was better in the end, just because she was more like a beautiful aunt.

"Then Qing'er will wear this to participate in the palace election, and the sisters say it's okay?" Feng Qing spun around and smiled happily.

"The second sister also means the same." Feng Yi gave Feng Qing clothes and ornaments to add a boost to her palace selection. Feng Wu just smiled and saw that Feng Qing didn't speak, but she was thinking about other things in her heart, and before she could withdraw her thoughts, the eunuch next to the emperor came in and spread the word that the emperor would come to Fengwu Palace to accompany the queen for lunch. Seeing this, Feng Yi retired in time.

After Feng Yi left, Feng Qing revealed the excitement that she had just suppressed when she heard the news that the emperor was coming, she had been in Fengwu Palace for more than ten days, and she had never seen the emperor come once!

"Sister, the emperor is coming, let's hurry up and prepare to take over!" As he spoke, he was going to the apse to change out of the dress given by Feng Yi, but this dress was going to be a blockbuster in the palace, and now it can't be looked at by the emperor.

"You go back to your side hall, the emperor will come in a while, you don't have to take the driver, the palace will tell the emperor that because of your status as a show girl, it is not suitable to meet in private before the palace election." Feng Wu said lightly.

"Sister?" Feng Qing couldn't believe what she had heard, why did she give up such a great opportunity to get close to the emperor?

"Obedient, this palace has said your business, and this palace has its own arrangements. Now, go back. Feng Wu ignored her anxiety.

"But...... Sister, I'll ......" Feng Qing still wanted to distinguish, but was interrupted by Feng Wu before she could speak, this time her tone had become an order: "Bengong said, go back!" Then he called Miaoqing to personally send Feng Qing back to the side hall, and by the way, he stayed there to watch for her.

"Yes, my sister is leaving." No matter how willful Feng Qing was, she didn't dare to fight against the eldest sister who was the queen of a country, so she could only follow Miaoqing back unwillingly.

Back in the side hall, Feng Qing couldn't bear her temper anymore, and she didn't shy away from Miaoqing, so she angrily threw the silk fan in her hand on the table, and deliberately called her maid at the top of her voice: "Liu Fu, I'm thirsty!" Make me tea! The maid named Liu Fu saw that the master was not in a good mood, so she didn't dare to speak, so she ran to serve tea and pour water. Miao Qing watched coldly from the sidelines and didn't react, but someone couldn't stand it: "How can the little master be so loud, it's really not polite!" But it was the queen who asked for Feng Qing's advice, and Mama stood up to correct her.

"The etiquette of this little master is to honor the sacred, and now this hall is full of slaves and maids, and I am a master, so I need to teach etiquette to slaves and maids?" Feng Qing took the chrysanthemum tea handed by Liu Fu and took a sip. As soon as these words were spoken, Miao Qing and Mama Zhao's faces suddenly did not look good, especially Mama Zhao, when she looked at Feng Qing again, her eyes seemed to bring some pity in addition to anger. Miaoqing first broke the embarrassing atmosphere: "Mama Zhao has worked hard these days, the little master is not happy today, and she will take a day off, and Mama will come to teach the little master the rules tomorrow." As he spoke, he put a bag of silver into Mama Zhao's hand, and Mama Zhao reluctantly smiled and withdrew. After Mama Zhao left, Miao Qing said coldly to Feng Qing: "The little master shouldn't be rude to Mama Zhao, you must know that if you offend Mama Zhao, she may not be as dedicated as before in her future teaching, and doing so is tantamount to self-destruction of her future." Miaoqing knew that as a slave maid, she should not point fingers at the little master, but the slave maid's selfishness was for the sake of the little master, and the queen mother was naturally too. ”
