Without a Trace Chapter 7 Winning the Heir Chapter 40 Congratulations on Birthday
、、、、、、、
The weather at the beginning of June was extremely hot, not only was there no wind in the capital, but the trees were screaming endlessly, which made people upset. In the mansions of various dignitaries, the little servants carefully stuck to these nasty insects under the trees under the scorching sun, and they all cursed the damn weather in their hearts. Even the mud can melt under the sun, not to mention the big living people, and even the big yellow dogs that used to be lively on the small streets are hanging their heads under the eaves, and they have no energy at all. The bitter ones were the poor coolies who begged for food under the scorching sun, and they could only look at the official sedan chair with envy while selling their strength.
The lord sitting in this official sedan chair is far from being as proud as they imagined, and most of the people who come out to run under the sun are not big people, so few can put a basin of ice cubes in the official sedan chair to relieve the heat. If they weren't afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history for an unofficial raft, they would rather take a sedan chair to hurry, but unfortunately now the ministers in the capital are afraid of the masters of the Supervision Yuan, so no matter how hot it is, they can only cover their coats and shake their fans to hurry.
No, there are several sedan chairs parked in front of Prince Li's mansion, although there is a funeral in front of Feng Wuzhao, but as the emperor's cousin, the prince's 60th birthday is indispensable.
He has always been a low-key person, so the original intention was to invite a few old princes and celebrate it. Although it was extremely hot outside, there were a lot of ice basins in the flower hall, and a few maids kept fanning the wind next to the ice basins, so the room was quite cool.
It was the time before the sun set in the early afternoon, and the heat had subsided a lot, but it was still very hot. Qingjun Wang Feng Huaide is a tall and thin man. But he was extremely afraid of the heat, so he opened his clothes and fanned his fan, while still muttering: "Fifth brother." It's really not the right time for your birthday, this is a hot world. If it weren't for our deep friendship with you, who would have the kung fu to run this road, and not look at the gravel road outside, it would be sunburned? Today is your 60th birthday, but now it's good, and the front door is deserted. How can there be a look of longevity! Even those officials of the imperial court are more pompous than you, and now we old ones are more and more ignored! As he spoke, he came up angry, put the fan in his hand down, and was about to get angry, as if he had thought of something, and sat down again.
The fat man on the side glanced at Feng Huaide dissatisfiedly, and then said slowly: "Lao Jiu, I didn't say you, how can you always be that hot man in trouble?" Today is the fifth brother's birthday, and we are all guests. Why are you still anti-customer-oriented? He looked at Prince Feng Huaizhang with a gloomy face, and then said in a low voice, "What time is it?" The courtier outside dared to make a big deal about his birthday? Even the last time the nephew of the He family had a happy event, he quietly finished the matter. At this time, in terms of decency, you can ignore it, the fifth brother has to live. ”
Feng Huaide muttered a few words in a low voice. Only then did he lean all his body on the rattan chair, picked up the sour plum soup on the table next to him and poured it into his stomach, finally suppressing a little bit of heat. "Forget it, I don't fight so much with you, Heng and Vertical are now only points to see." He took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then he raised his head suspiciously, "What's going on today, it doesn't matter if others don't come to have fun, why doesn't the second brother see anyone?" Could it be that he is still ...... with that person" As soon as the words came out, he felt a flaw, and hurriedly hid the past.
Rao is like this, the other two also changed their faces greatly, and after glancing at the maids waiting around uneasily, Prince Li Feng Huaizhang ordered in a deep voice: "You don't need to serve here, you all retreat!" Let no one come in unless he has been commanded by the king. Those maids didn't know how to do it, and they hurriedly retreated after being blessed, and the flower hall suddenly seemed empty.
"Lao Jiu, if you speak like this in the future, we will be killed by you sooner or later!" Feng Huaizhang rebuked indignantly, "This kind of thing is kept secretive by others, how can you say it lightly?" It's just a trivial matter that the second brother is late, if your words get out, we will all be unlucky! ”
Feng Huaide was originally out of place, but when he heard the lesson, he suddenly became even more angry, and when he opened his mouth, he retorted: "At that time, you all promised to do well, but now when you see that things have changed, you all become turtles with shrunken heads, no wonder no one is looking at us now!" If you do big things, you can't shrink back from them, if they all learn from you, those little ones don't know where to be arrogant! ”
Feng Huaizhang's face was suddenly extremely ugly, but when it came to sharp teeth, how could he compare to this younger brother, so he had to glance at the fat man on the side with a distress look. "Old eight, although you are also the king of the county, but the things in the court are clearer than him, tell me, do we not want to move or dare to move at this point now? When the prince is in this position, he is really too capable! ”
This fat man is the younger brother of the emperor Feng Huanzhao, one of the few remaining emperors in the battle for succession, and the king of Sujun Feng Huai. To be able to survive in such a chaotic situation, and to get a title that is neither high nor low, his way to the source is indeed extraordinary.
"Lao Jiu, of course what the second brother said is reasonable, so don't be angry with him. Now there are only a few people left in our older generation, if there is still infighting, won't it make people laugh? It's not that you haven't seen the emperor's methods, even if it is your own son, he is also dead, and the prisoner of the prisoner, how can there be a trace of mercy? If we accidentally expose a flaw, I'm afraid that all of our old bones will be served in one pot! ”
Feng Huaide didn't dare to slack off on this brother's words, so although his face was still unhappy, he didn't say anything angry, but he still sat on the rattan chair and got angry, obviously still unhappy with the attitude of the two. The three of them were thinking about their own thoughts, when suddenly, a small servant rushed in with three steps and two steps, so hot that he was sweating, but he couldn't say a word.
Feng Huaizhang was on fire, he had just ordered no one to come in, but it didn't take long for someone to break the rules, and his face immediately couldn't hang up. "What's the matter, do you still have any rules, didn't this king tell you not to disturb!" He reprimanded with a slap in his face, "Even if the sky falls, you have to pass this meeting, don't get out yet!" ”
The little guy was relieved, and when he saw that the master was going to drive him out, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Lord, the slave has no way to break the rules, and the door outside will report that His Royal Highness the Prince is coming to congratulate you on your birthday!" ”
Feng Huaizhang suddenly jumped up from the chair, took a step forward and grabbed the collar of the little guy, and asked nervously, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really here?" Even Feng Huaide and Feng Huaiyin on the side were stunned, you must know that Feng Huaizhang is just an unpowerful prince, with no honor and no real power, and Feng Wuxian is now the time when the momentum is at its strongest, there is really no reason to come to congratulate for the birthday of an imperial uncle. Having said that, the two of them knew that the matter was true when they saw the little guy nodding like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly pulled the wind and went out. Although they are elders, they don't dare to put up a stand in front of the new monarch in the future, otherwise it will be disrespectful to spread it.
Feng Wuxian also learned about Feng Huaizhang's sixtieth birthday from a few officials of Ming Songxuan in the morning, so after a little thought, he ordered Fan Qing to prepare a gift, and hurriedly took care of all the affairs, and then hurriedly came to Prince Li's mansion. After only a moment's delay at the door, Feng Huaizhang and the others greeted them with a very respectful attitude. Feng Wuxian helped the three of them up one by one with a smile on his face, and after looking closely, he recognized the other two old princes. The Lingyun royal family has always been prosperous and prosperous, and there are many people in the royal family, there are no less than 100 people with titles, and there are more than a dozen people who attack the prince, so he was stunned for a moment before he recognized the identities of those two.
"It turned out to be the two imperial uncles of King Sujun and King Qingjun, and they dared to come together to congratulate Prince Li today." He smiled and took a beautifully decorated brocade box from Xiao Fangzi's hand, "Prince Li's sixtieth birthday, he can't find anything good, the things here are nothing more than a little heart." He said as he handed over the brocade box, "I only hope that the emperor can live a long life and be healthy, and those of us who are younger will be at ease." ”
Feng Huaizhang took the brocade box with a complicated mood, but he didn't dare to open it easily, and after a bunch of flattering words, he hurriedly put Feng Wuxian into the main hall. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really polite, this king is just an old man, just a sixty-year-old birthday, the original intention is to invite a few idle princes to relax, even many relatives did not post, who expected to alarm His Highness, it is really ashamed." He glanced at the little guy who was waiting beside him, and then he led Feng Wuxian to the right position.
Feng Wuxian didn't answer, looked around, and then asked thoughtfully: "I heard that the imperial uncle and Prince Zhuang have a very good relationship, why don't you see his figure today?" Among the princes of the older generation, the only ones left are a few of you, and it is good to walk around a lot on weekdays to relax, otherwise wouldn't it be a crime to be bored in the house all the time? ”
His understatement suddenly made the three of them sit on pins and needles, and even Feng Huaide, who was still arrogant at the beginning, died down, and he didn't dare to make a sound. At this time, Feng Wuxian suddenly mentioned this matter, the intention is really confusing, if it is just a feeling in the heart, but if there is a suspicion and temptation, it is too much to say and make mistakes, and no one dares to answer easily. was silent for a long time, but it was Sujun Wang Fenghuai who opened his mouth first.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are reasonable, in fact, we old guys are lazy and used to it, and we usually cultivate ourselves in the mansion, and then we just enjoy the family fun of our children and grandchildren around our knees, and we don't have much effort to get together frequently. However, it is not uncommon to take half a day out every month to gossip. Feng Huaiyin's words were extremely sincere, "People are noble and forget family affection, we are all old, and we are not interested in and have no ability to fight for young people, so it is better to enjoy Qingfu in the house." Speaking of Prince Zhuang, presumably he is arranging the affairs of the troupe, today is not more than usual, if the fifth brother's birthday is deserted, how can it not be good-looking? ”
Although these words are appropriate, but Feng Huaizhang and Feng Huai led to a cold sweat at the same time, if there is no drama team when Prince Zhuang Feng is pregnant, then this time the mistake will be big. After all, at this moment, no one knows why Feng Huaiqi has not appeared until now. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 7 Winning the Heir Chapter 40 Congratulations on Birthday
