Chapter 60: Feng Qing's Request
The King of Xianyang watched Tuoba Shen, who was riding his own carriage and horses, escorted by his own Xianyang Guozhi Pavilion Marshal, and walked away until the carriage walked more than a hundred steps and turned back to the main hall.
With his original intention, he wanted to personally escort Tuoba Shen back to the palace and re-educate and educate this nephew in front of the emperor. It's just that his mother Feng Zhaoyi has just broken the traces of his heart that is hidden in his heart, and his heart is empty for a while, and it is not good to rely on the identity of the elder to send Tuoba Shen, so he has to send his own guards to escort Tuoba Shen back to the palace.
Recalling the scene when he was just scolded by his mother, he is still sweating profusely. He still remembers that one day when he was still in the harem with his mother before he was crowned king and left the palace, he suddenly received an order from the queen mother to go to the Taihe Palace. At that time, he and his mother had been wondering what the reason was, and it was not until a few days later that he and his mother learned that the empress dowager was ready to depose the emperor and make him the new king, but they were opposed by Qiu Mu Lingtai and Gao Lu and others.
At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know how he felt about being the emperor, but he saw that the Queen Mother often harshly criticized the emperor's brother, and he was also afraid of the Queen Mother in his heart, and he didn't dare to get close to the Queen Mother. I also heard my mother say that if she made him emperor, her mother would have to give him death according to the rules, so I was very glad that the queen mother did not set him up. Later, as I grew older, I saw the emperor's brother standing tall and holding the prestige of the country, and I and my younger brothers, Uncle Burton was very small at the bottom of the steps, and I was very envious in my heart, but I didn't dare to let others know, so I could only hide it deep in my heart, no one dared to say it, but I didn't expect it to be seen by my mother.
Looking at the direction where his mother was sleeping, King Xianyang sighed. In the past, at this time, he would go to his mother to ask questions, but today it seems that he can't go.
。。。。。。。。
Tuoba Shen sat in the car and took out Feng Run's letter from his chest, this letter was found in his clothes when he was just bathing in the Xianyang Palace, there was nothing written on the envelope, but guess it was Feng Run's.
This woman cheated me so much, is she embarrassed to let me be a messenger for her, is she really possessed by an angel?
…… Is......
I want to tear it up!
Holding the letter in his hand, he was ruthless for a while, and after a long sigh, Tuoba Shen obediently re-collected the letter, because he couldn't afford to offend this woman who would return to the palace in the future and counterattack his sister as the queen.
When he arrived at the stop door, Tuoba Shen thanked the palace marshal of the Zhige of King Xianyang and took Lu Guang into the palace. As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw several teams of sergeants who came to change the guard with fish charms to hand over, and the palace gate was about to be locked after the handover.
Seeing this scene, Tuoba Shen couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he came back in time, if he came back for a while, don't think about coming in, after the palace door is closed, it will not be opened again without the emperor's order, so he can only wait for tomorrow.
Because of the relationship with Feng Run's letter, Tuoba Shen could only go to the emperor first, and then he could go back to the harem, although he didn't know where the emperor was, but it was always right to go to the Taihe Palace, which was the emperor's residence for the next three years.
When he arrived outside the front hall of Taihe, he asked the eunuch on duty, saying that the emperor had left and did not know where he had gone, so Tuoba Shen had to prepare to wait in the Taihe Palace.
After walking to the corridor of the Taihe Palace, he was about to walk in, but he heard the sound of walking inside, as if someone was going to come out, Tuoba Shen looked up, and it turned out to be the king of Rencheng.
"Meet Uncle Rencheng, Uncle Antai."
King Ren Cheng because the emperor went to the harem before he told him to go to the Taihe Hall to wait, because he was here, because he had not seen the emperor come back, he was anxious and came out to see it several times, but he didn't expect to meet Tuoba Shen here.
"It turned out to be the second emperor's nephew, but the emperor's nephew came to see the Supreme Majesty?"
"Exactly, I just heard that His Majesty Father is not here, so I came here to wait."
"Your Majesty heard that Zuo Zhaoyi is unwell and has already gone to the Alto Palace, if the virtuous nephew has something urgent, you can go to the Alto Hall to have a look."
Zuo Zhaoyi is sick......
So suddenly, wasn't it okay yesterday, why did you suddenly get sick?
"No need, just wait here for the little nephew.
The emperor threw King Ren Cheng here and went to comfort the beautiful woman himself, so he didn't want to be disgusted?
。。。。。。。
Besides, the emperor got the news of the alto hall and hurried to the harem. He hadn't been to the harem a few times since the death of the Queen Mother, and he hadn't seen the harem concubines a few times, because he didn't know the recent situation of Zuo Zhaoyi and Feng Qing. I just heard this emergency report, and I thought that Feng Qing had an emergency. In this era where short life is common, it is really impossible to say when a person will suddenly suffer bad luck. I don't know how many people died in a short time due to various emergencies in their teens and twenties. So the emperor had to hurry.
When he arrived at the Zhongyin Palace, the emperor walked straight to Wo Ning without waiting for the palace people to report. When I entered the bed, I saw Feng Qing lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, with two charcoal stoves in front of the bed, and on the edge of the bed stood the maid that Feng Qing brought from home, and Ah Li, who was three years older than Feng Qing. Ah Li was saving the quilt for Feng Qing, and the emperor was behind, and he didn't see Ah Li, who was saving the quilt for Feng Qing, her face was a little strange, and her hands were a little weak.
Feng Qing saw the emperor coming in and was about to get up, but the emperor stepped forward to stop her a few steps, sat on the bed and asked, "What is the discomfort, but you have invited the imperial medical officer to come?" ”
Feng Qing shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there have been some things recently, and I have been thinking more about it in my heart, so it's a little different from usual!" The palace people didn't know why, so they made a big fuss, but they didn't expect to disturb Your Majesty. As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand to hold the emperor's hand.
The emperor looked at Feng Qing taking the initiative to take his hand, and was stunned for a moment, Feng Qing was so ashamed that he rarely did this.
The emperor held Feng Qing's right hand with both hands, and saw that Feng Qing's face was ruddy, not like he was seriously ill, and his mood eased down, and said: "Don't be careless, or call the imperial doctor to take a look, I can rest assured" and then asked with a smile: "You have never wanted to do anything superfluous, how can you be so anxious." ”
Feng Qing waved his hand to Ah Li and motioned for Ah Li to go out first. Ah Li read Feng Qing's prompt, and hesitated a little when she raised her feet to go out, and after she wanted to speak again, she turned around and went out.
After Feng Qing saw Ah Li go out, he said: "The concubine recently read the "Biography of the Daughters", saw the story of Mrs. Wei Zhuang Jiang, and remembered that when she was a child, she and His Majesty received the "Book of Songs" and "Zuo's", when the book said that Zhuang Jiang's identity was indescribably noble, and she was very beautiful. It's just a pity that there is no son-in-law to inherit the position of the marquis, so there is a regret that the courtier's brother killed the king's brother. ”
"When it comes to the concubine's identity, it is far less noble than Zhuang Jiang, and when it comes to beauty and virtue, it can't let the Pingcheng scholars sing about it. Even the heirs can't pass Zhuang Jiang in this matter. For several days, I thought that His Majesty's concubines had many children, and the concubines could not have one son and half a daughter, and I was really ashamed of my love for Your Majesty. His eyes turned red as he spoke.
When the emperor heard this, he understood that Feng Qing had accepted the meaning of his brother to ask for the eldest son of the emperor, Tuoba Sui! He had just discussed this matter with King Ren Cheng, and he couldn't agree to Feng's request. said: "Qing is twenty years old this year, and he will have children in the future." And relieved. ”
Feng Qing shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is not comforting the concubine, the concubine has been in the palace to serve His Majesty for seven years, and she has no children so far, and now Your Majesty has to abide by the system again." The concubine is cold in this palace, if she can step a son, she can also have more yang energy. ”
The emperor was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "All the sons already have mothers, how can I divide them?" It's hard to do! ”
"His Royal Highness has no one to care for now, can he be too concubine? The concubine will treat His Royal Highness like a parent, so that His Majesty will not be worried. ”
"I grew up in the Taihe Hall since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to this place, and I suddenly asked him to leave the comfortable old place, just afraid that he would be noisy. Moreover, I will stay in the Taihe Hall for the past three years, supervising my studies day and night. If I come to you, it will be inconvenient. ”
Feng Qing listened to the emperor's words and knew that the emperor was perfunctory to her, and he was extremely careless, and what he said was really far-fetched. stopped dwelling on this topic, and changed his words: "Since His Royal Highness can't come here, can he make His Second Highness too concubine?" ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, he thought that Feng Qing would continue to pestering Tuoba Shen, but he didn't expect that she would stop pestering after only saying it once, but instead asked for Tuoba Shen.
What does she mean by this, the Feng family has no reason to do this, the Feng family has never had anything to do with Erlang, and he doesn't ask for a step-Lang, but he wants to pass a step-Erlang......
Could it be that Feng wants to take care of both Da Lang and Erlang at the same time......
Outrageous! How can there be a reason to support Chu Er and still have two minds? Besides, Erlang lost his mother in his early years, and the world regarded him as an ominous person. I didn't do anything to favor Erlang to make the foreign dynasty suspicious, why did I want to pass Erlang?
Feng Qing looked at the emperor without speaking, knowing that he was pondering where Guan Qiao was, and asked again: "Your Majesty, may you have a concubine?" The concubine is very fond of Erlang, since Your Majesty wants to raise a big man, the concubine does not dare to say more, but asks Your Majesty to take pity on the concubine without children, so that the concubine can fulfill her sincerity. He shook the emperor's hand as he spoke
The emperor stared at Feng Qing's bright phoenix eyes and said, "Does Qing really mean it?" ”
Feng Qing nodded seriously, not avoiding the emperor's gaze.
"I know about this matter, but Erlang has been fostered in Qingxiao Hospital for several years, and he is more in love with Concubine Cao, and this matter is also a decision made by the Queen Mother back then. I can't go against the Queen Mother's will. The matter of succession still needs Qing Qing to go to Qingxiao Courtyard and say, if Concubine Cao does not allow it, I can't force it. I also hope that you will be considerate of this section. ”
Feng Qing got the emperor's promise, sat up happily, and wanted to come down to thank the emperor.
The emperor hurriedly held down Feng Qing and said, "If Concubine Cao doesn't allow it, don't be angry." He also saw that Feng Qingzhen was not sick, and such a big battle was just for the sake of Jierlang, and it was not easy for Feng Qing, who had always been quiet, to exert so much effort.
"Your Majesty has agreed to the concubine's invitation, and the concubine will not hide it from Your Majesty, the concubine has already been to Qingxiao Courtyard today and has been promised by Cao Guiren. Would you like to ask Your Majesty to make an order tomorrow? ”
She knew that the emperor was a shrewd person, so she didn't pretend in front of him, which was also her old trick to serve the emperor for many years, but she rarely used it, because it didn't necessarily happen once a year that she needed to do so.
The emperor looked at her and smiled, although he didn't know how she persuaded Concubine Cao, but he didn't plan to ask more. After a few more gossips, he told her to pay attention to rest, and she came out with more quilts.
Walking on the way back to the Taihe Palace, the emperor thought to himself: It seems that one more edict will be issued tomorrow.
