Chapter 268: Persuasion
In the end, Feng Wu still left the two strings of red agate. She looked at the white foreheads of the two girls in the scroll, and suddenly wanted to make a forehead ornament out of these blood-red stones. The vermilion fell between the eyebrows, and the weeping was graceful. I wonder who of the two girls is lucky enough to wear it?
"Pu Jia, go and take this to Lu Sizhen and ask her to make a special style of forehead ornament." Feng Wu handed the brocade box to Pu Jia, and instructed by the way: "Recently, I have been keeping an eye on the Lihua Hall in this palace, and Rui Guifei can report any actions at any time." ”
"The slave obeys." Pu Jia took her things and stepped back.
As soon as Pu Jia walked on the front foot, Dequan ran in on the back foot and reported: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the emperor went to Lihua Hall to see Rui Guifei again, and he made an appointment to pick her up tomorrow to play chess with His Royal Highness Zhaoyang." ”
"Hmm. Hongu knows, keep staring. Feng Wu waved his hand to retreat from Dequan.
Deng Zhenxuan is really not simple, his mother's family was convicted and lost power, but he was stunned by his own strength to hold the emperor's heart. Not only is she pregnant with a child, but she can also coax the emperor to be enthusiastic about her, which is really a good means!
"Tomorrow? Then tomorrow......" Feng Wu muttered to herself, she had already made up her mind to meet Deng Zhenxuan for a while.
The next day, Feng Wu was ready early, and after waiting for someone to report that Deng Zhenxuan had entered the Zhaoyang Palace, she set off.
Feng Wu came to Zhaoyang Palace, pretending not to know that Deng Zhenxuan was here. Because she was the empress, even if Fang Da knew that the emperor was playing against Concubine Rui at this moment, he had to go in and report to disturb her.
"Queen Mother, please." Fonda reported back and respectfully invited Feng Wu into the house.
"The concubine sees the queen's mother." Deng Zhenxuan was about to get up to greet her, but was stopped by Feng Wu: "Concubine Rui is pregnant, so there is no need to be polite." ”
"Why is the queen free?" Duan Yulin leaned lazily on the soft pillow, still holding a chess piece between his fingers.
"Did the concubine disturb the emperor and his sister's Yaxing?" Feng Wu quipped.
"The queen's mother is serious, you can come, it's too late for the concubines and the emperor to rejoice! Do you say yes, Your Majesty? Deng Zhenxuan clinged to the emperor's shoulders like a gentle silkworm, and her words were coquettish.
Duan Yulin threw away the chess pieces, grabbed Deng Zhenxuan's shoulder and smiled: "That's natural." Fonda, why don't you hurry up and move a more comfortable chair for the queen! ”
Feng Wu sat still, facing the two of them, and said indifferently: "Seeing that the relationship between the emperor and his sister is so good, the concubine is relieved......" She glanced at Deng Zhenxuan meaningfully.
Being looked at by Feng Wu like this, Deng Zhenxuan stupidly distanced himself from the emperor. Duan Yulin didn't think so, he thought differently from Deng Zhenxuan.
Deng Zhenxuan trembled and walked on thin ice because of the collapse of his mother's family, for fear that he would be rejected by him if he said the wrong word; In fact, she is obviously overhearted, Duan Yulin spoils her because she is young and beautiful, and even more because she looks too much like Li Jingxi when she was young. And none of this has anything to do with her family background.
What's more, Deng Zhenxuan, who lost the support of his mother's family, has no worries when the emperor favors him. Therefore, Duan Yulin's love for her now is even more than before.
"The queen has something to do with me?" Feng Wu has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and Duan Yulin didn't believe that she would make a special trip to see him.
"The emperor's 'magic plan', the concubine really has a family matter to discuss with the emperor." Feng Wu blew the tea foam and opened her mouth flatly.
"Since the queen mother and the emperor have something to discuss, the concubine should go back first." Although Deng Jixuan really wanted to take the opportunity to have more contact with the queen, at this time, avoidance was a manifestation of general knowledge.
"It's all my own family, so I don't need to carry you on my back. Besides, the palace said that it was a family matter, and I just asked my sister to be a staff officer. Feng Wu took the initiative to throw an olive branch, and Deng Zhenxuan was flattered in her heart.
Deng Jixuan looked at the queen with some uncertainty, then turned her head to ask for the emperor's consent, and when she saw the emperor nodding, she stayed with peace of mind.
"What kind of family matters, the queen will talk about it." Duan Yulin was also sitting in danger.
"Actually, this is the case - at the beginning of spring this year, King Jing and King Xian had an appointment with the second son of General Xian to ride a horse, and the two daughters of the Immortal family were also with them at that time. Speaking of fate, King Xian and the two young ladies of the fairy family get along very well, and they will never forget it after returning to the palace! Your Majesty, although King Xian is young, he is also a teenage boy after all. Between the close and playful of this young boy and girl, it is inevitable that ......" Feng Wu is not full of words, everything depends on the emperor's will.
Duan Yulin tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The queen has something to say." ”
Feng Yi should have said this in person, but she was so thin-faced that she couldn't pull her face. Simply concubine, this is more than a sister! The concubine had the courage to marry the daughter of the immortal family for King Xian. Feng Wu knelt down and pleaded.
Duan Yulin was silent, he stared at Feng Wu for a while with indescribably strange eyes, and finally laughed for no reason. While laughing, he shook his head and said, "Queen, Queen, what do you want me to say?" General Xian has two daughters, do you know which one is the king's heart? Which one do you want to marry for him? The queen can't let me propose to both of them at the same time, right? ”
"This ...... It was the concubine's negligence. Who Duan Yingyu likes, Feng Wu really didn't research, and she didn't want to know. She thought that the two daughters of the fairy family were both descendants, who would marry not the same? Unexpectedly, it became the emperor's reason to refute her.
"So what does it matter? Just let Concubine Yi ask what King Xian means, isn't it? Deng Zhenxuan suddenly said.
"Oh? Xuan'er is very optimistic about this family business? Duan Yulin looked at Deng Zhenxuan in surprise.
"Why not? The fairy lady is good-looking, the dragon and phoenix among the kings, and the concubines feel that they are a good match! Isn't it? Deng Jixuan had an "obvious" expression on his face.
"But they're still young. King Xian is fourteen this year, the eldest of the two daughters of the fairy family is less than fifteen, and the younger one is only thirteen! How can a child get married? "Age is only one of them, and the main reason why Duan Yulin disagrees is that he doesn't want the Feng family and the immortal family to be involved.
"Hehehe......" Deng Zhenxuan's silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded, she bent her body with a smile, and leaned on the emperor's arm: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" You've taken on a fourteen-year-old concubine yourself! "She's talking about the late Zhou Muya.
"Is there one?" Duan Yulin has seen Zhou Muya in total, where do you remember her?
"It is true. The emperor thought that Zhou Baolin was young, and said that he would not be able to sleep until she was sixteen years old. It's a pity that Zhou Baolin himself is blessed......" Feng Wu reminded the emperor in time.
"Oh, when the queen reminded me like this, I was a little impressed. But as you said, didn't I wait for her to be an adult before I was allowed to hang her green card? Therefore, I look at King Xian's marriage, and I still have to wait a few years to discuss it. Duan Yulin objected under the pretext of opposition.
"The concubine doesn't think there's anything wrong with being young. In the hometowns of concubines, many children of dignitaries and dignitaries are married by the belly. Both parties have not yet been born, and the marriage is decided, and it will be as harmonious and beautiful after marriage! Deng Zhenxuan secretly squeezed his eyebrows at the queen.
Feng Wu understood, and hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes, there is no shortage of people in our capital who do this. Besides, the concubines just want them to settle their family affairs first, and they can wait until the two parties reach adulthood to fulfill the marriage contract! ”
Feng Wu and Deng Zhenxuan sang and harmonized, and finally "forced" Duan Yulin to the point that he couldn't refuse, and reluctantly agreed.
"In that case, then it depends on the queen's wishes. But General Xian will not let King Xian enjoy the 'blessings of Qi people', his two daughters, it is better to ask Concubine Yi and King Xian to choose one carefully. Duan Yulin was also relieved, because he firmly believed that no matter who the Immortal Family married, he would be as upright as ever.
"That's natural, the concubine will discuss it with Feng Yi when she goes back. When there was a result, let Feng Yi take King Xian back and forth to the emperor in person. "Feng Wu's wish was fulfilled, and he was cheap.
"I'm a little tired, you all go back." Duan Yulin waved his hand as if he was very tired, and Feng Wu and Deng Zhenxuan retreated.
Walking outside the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, Feng Wu found that Deng Zhenxuan had been following her step by step. It just so happened that she also had something to say to Deng Zhenxuan, so she sent out an invitation: "If Concubine Rui is not busy, can you go to the palace to sit there?" ”
"Concubines can't ask for it." Deng Jixuan, Shi Shiran followed Feng Jia to Fengwu Palace.
Back on his own turf, Feng Wu is much more comfortable. She took off her satin and fox folds and put on a gold-rimmed pipa placket. Tell the kitchenette to stock up on some hot drinks and savory snacks.
"Rui Gui Concubine drink some hot milk to warm up your body, you are pregnant, you can't stand the cold." Feng Wu knew the taboo of pregnant women, and deliberately replaced the tea with cow's milk.
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." Deng Zhenxuan carefully took a sip of milk, and took a small bite of chestnut cake and chewed it.
"I want to thank you. Just now in the Zhaoyang Palace, if it weren't for the words of the noble concubine and the persuasion of peace, the family affairs of King Xian would not be so easy to decide. Feng Wu was grateful to her: "But Bengong is very curious, why do you want to help Bengong?" ”
Deng Zhenxuan put down the cup and laughed at herself: "Niangniang really doesn't understand? ”
"This palace should understand?" In fact, Feng Wu knew it in her heart, but she had to force the other party to say it herself.
Deng Zhenxuan really didn't disappoint her, and knelt in front of Feng Wu with a straight skirt: "The concubine begs for shelter!" ”
"What do you mean?! Get up. Feng Wu stretched out his hand to help, but was dodged by Deng Zhenxuan.
"If the mother doesn't agree to the concubine, the concubine won't get up!" It is necessary to deal with the queen with both soft and hard.
"Deng Zhenxuan, Deng Zhenxuan, you are really too smart! You know that this palace invites you to be a guest, but you have the heart to form an alliance with you. What's the point of making this 'cornered' posture now? Get up! Feng Wu felt that each other's behavior was too hypocritical, so it was better to be honest.
The maid Feng Hyacinth helped Deng Zhenxuan to get up slowly, and she smiled sadly: "The queen mother has already understood everything, and the concubine is impressed." As long as the mother is willing to protect the concubine and the child in the womb, the concubine is willing to serve the mother and the horse! ”
"The Deng family has fallen, you need to rely on this palace; The palace also needs a chess piece against the concubine, and everyone just takes what they need. You don't have to swear so much, who can say what will happen in the future? "Who knows what will happen to Deng Jixuan's status after giving birth to a child? How will her mind twist?
"Then as the mother said, take what you need. Niangniang knows that the concubine also hates the concubine! Therefore, at this point, the concubine can definitely be the same enemy as the mother. Deng Jixuan simply gave up the fake model.
"Good! Then the palace will gamble on you! Feng Wu clapped his hands twice, and Miao Qing handed over a scroll. Feng Wu shook the scroll open, and it was a decree stamped with the phoenix seal: "Jin Rui's noble concubine Deng is Zhaoyi." ”
After becoming Zhaoyi, Deng Zhenxuan can enjoy the Lihua Hall exclusively. In this way, many people can avoid coveting the palace room of Lihua Palace, and Deng Zhenxuan will have an extra layer of tranquility and security.
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!" Deng Zhenxuan worshiped Mingzhi again.
