Chapter VIII Relocation

The eleventh prince Feng did not regret that he was already eighteen years old this year, although he had not yet performed the crown salute, but he had been crowned the king of Ningjun. Compared with other princes who only received the title of promotion after holding a position, his situation is too superior. Coupled with the fact that the emperor has not sent him out of Beijing so far, in the eyes of the courtiers, this King of Ningjun is undoubtedly a hot figure.

Helplessly, Concubine Yu is very fond of this son, because she has asked for the emperor's grace before, so until now, she still leaves him in the Tingfeng Pavilion to live, and even a few eunuchs who serve are carefully selected, as for the palace maid who warms the seat, she is the kind of woman who is peaceful and beautiful. Concubine Yu poured too much hope and effort into the wind, and she never wanted a woman who was charming and seducing the lord to take away her son's heart.

It's just that some time ago, the emperor had a lot of complaints about the wind and stayed in the palace, so Concubine Yu had to ask her brother to find a good mansion in Beijing, and then ask the emperor to give it when it was empty. His closest nephew wanted to open a mansion and give the first, and Xiao Yunchao was particularly concerned. From the chief guard to the ordinary maid, he personally cooked it neatly, so in less than half a month, he entered the palace and explained everything to his sister-in-law, and this extraordinary speed also surprised Concubine Yu for a while.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that someone had notified the emperor of his arrival early today, Xiao asked his son to wait in the Lingbo Palace in advance, so as to take advantage of the situation to handle the matter. She knew that her son had lived in the palace for a long time and that there were people gossiping, but she had always been spoiled and didn't dare to let go at will, and now she couldn't help but regret it when she thought about it. If he had allowed his son to stand on his own feet as soon as possible, he would have made meritorious deeds as soon as possible, and when the emperor became a prince, no one would dare to say anything. I have been smart all my life, but I can't forget the fact that my mother is more defeated, and I am really confused. However, seeing the emperor's figure from a distance, Concubine Yu immediately dispelled these thoughts in her heart and took her son to greet her.

"Concubines welcome the holy driver!" Xiao Shi Yingying bowed, and the wind behind him also knelt down and saluted at the same time: "My son knocks on my father, I wish my father is in good health and the country is prosperous." ”

"Sorry is here?" The emperor was a little surprised, usually when he was lucky in Lingbo Palace, the Xiao family had always sent his son away, but now he made an exception, but it was strange. Could it be that this concubine has any small reputation? The Emperor couldn't help but smile on his face, "Alright, you all get up." Ai Concubine, it's rare that you will call us together without regret, what, do you want to have a reunion today? ”

"The emperor is making fun of his concubines again." Xiao Shi said coquettishly. Although she has long passed the most beautiful age of a woman, the charm of her body is still the same as it was back then, and she has always been properly maintained, so both her body and skin still exude a mesmerizing feeling. "The concubine dared to bring Wu Xi here without asking for an order, just for a major event that the emperor is also concerned about."

"Oh?" The emperor remembered the report of the secret agent before, and couldn't help but smile, he naturally wouldn't brush his concubine's face for this little thing, "I have already guessed it, but it's not reasonable to talk outside like this, let's go in first." ”

Xiao Shi saved himself from being anxious, and hurriedly turned sideways to let the emperor to the palace, while making a look at his son, signaling him to be smarter later. There were still stacks of greeting words in his mouth: "The concubine's little thought can't hide from the emperor, she really can't hide anything, no wonder the courtiers praise the emperor Shengming!" Catch up with Ming'er, you also teach the concubine this trick to observe the situation, so as not to be criticized when you punish people. ”

"All those holy words are flattery, and how many words are true." The emperor sat down in the right seat, and then replied happily, "But Concubine Ai is getting better and better at talking, I have been poured such a belly of ecstasy soup by you, will I be embarrassed to refuse your request later?" Tell me, which mansion did you choose for nothing? ”

Concubine Yu was overjoyed, knowing that today's matter had become eight points, and then stepped forward and said carefully: "Your Majesty, you also know that the concubine has always left her by her side to discipline, and she has not paid much attention to the house. Now that he is older and has been crowned king, the concubines naturally can't force him to stay in the palace for their own selfishness, and it is time for him to share his worries for the emperor. ”

She glanced at the emperor's face as she spoke, and only after seeing that there was nothing wrong with it did she continue: "Now that the palaces in the capital are more luxurious and luxurious than the other, the concubines don't have to compare this gust of wind if they think about it, so in addition to the rules of etiquette, there is no need to pay too much attention to other things. It just so happens that there is still an empty palace outside the Chaohua Gate, although it was originally decayed, but it can be used as long as it is slightly renovated. The concubine had already asked his brother to take a look at the place, and he replied that it was quite neat, so he wanted to ask the emperor to be the lord to give this mansion, and it would be more convenient to enter the palace in the future. ”

The emperor was really surprised at this time, stared at Xiao's face for a long time, and after being sure that this concubine was not joking, he thought about it carefully. That mansion was where Feng Huanyu, who had done bad things back then, lived, so in order to avoid it, the princes who were crowned kings deliberately avoided that place. However, Xiao Shi also said well, a palace is always deserted and unorthodox, so it is better to divide it. Moreover, although there is already a bit of dilapidation, but the regulations of the year are grand, and they are worthy of the status of having the upper hand and no regrets, and they can also avoid the trouble of building a mansion again.

"Well, I think it's possible. If it really comes to handy, let them renovate it as soon as possible, and move in without regret. The emperor paused for a moment, and then asked again, "I heard that Xiao Yunchao has begun to buy servants there, I just want to say that you must find some reliable ones." Nowadays, there are too many people in the camp in Beijing, and it is not easy for someone who is careless to mix in with some people who don't know the roots, and it is not easy to arouse them in the future. ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly glanced at his son, Feng Wu regretted that he was also well-behaved, and immediately bowed down and thanked him: "Father's teaching, sons and daughters keep it in mind, thank you for your father's grace!" He was also very excited in his heart, although everyone respected him in the palace, but after all, he was too narrow-minded. From the bottom of his heart, he is still more envious of the life outside. As soon as he thought that he would not have to live under the protection of his mother in the future, he had a feeling of being free, and his brother Feng Wuxian of the same father and mother could rely on his actual achievements to win the favor of his father and mother step by step, and he could do the same.

The emperor looked at this son he loved most since he was a child, and sighed in his heart. The reason why he agreed to Concubine Yu's plea at the beginning was to let him suffer less wind and rain, after all, Feng Wuxian had always been sick and weak at that time, and the imperial doctor once reported that he would not live to be twenty years old, so he didn't want Concubine Ai to lose the last bit of blood and bones. Now it seems that the wind has cut through thorns and thorns without a trace, and it has been tempered, which is not the same as the situation back then. It's a pity that it is better to have more experience, the emperor already has an idea, and after some things in the court are dealt with, it is time for him to take charge of the duties.

The news that Feng Wu regretted moving to the Ningjun Royal Mansion really caused a sensation, especially since the new palace was still deserted before, which made the court officials talk for a while, and many people couldn't figure out the true intentions of the Xiao family. Only a few old people who have gone through two dynasties, or important ministers who still have an impression of that period, can still save the origin of that palace. It was the famous anti-royal mansion in the ears of the court officials back then, and the Xiao family was able to have such a bold idea to let his son move there, and he could also make the emperor nod his head in approval, which was really very courageous.

Because of the identity of Feng Wuxi, those idle men and people who are good at drilling camps in Beijing can't help but become active again. In the eyes of these people, if they can enter the palace, not only will they not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, but once the master is on the throne, even the next person will undoubtedly be able to ascend to heaven, and glory and wealth are indispensable. However, when they excitedly asked for help, they were immediately hit in the face, and the Ningjun Royal Mansion had already found all the servants who listened to the errands, and the maids and servants in the inner courtyard had also been completed. Now, taking advantage of the gap when the renovation of the palace has just been completed, all the men have settled in, and only the female dependents are still waiting for the official relocation.

On the day when Feng Wu officially moved, the Ningjun Mansion was very lively. In the front, there are all kinds of precious gifts from the emperor and Yu Guifei, and there are a number of princes and ministers who come to congratulate them. Feng Wu regretted that he had been told by his mother all the time in the past two years, and he was a lot more thoughtful in terms of etiquette, even if he saw officials who were not on good terms with him, his face was still full of smiles. However, after an hour, he felt that the smile on his face was getting stiffer and stiffer, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a few imperial brothers who hadn't come, I'm afraid he wouldn't have bothered to deal with it.

"Eleventh brother, congratulations on opening the mansion. Now that you're different, I'm afraid the two of us as elder brothers will have to retreat into the background! "It's the third prince who is speechless and the fourth prince is speechless, these two princes who hardly meet each other on weekdays come together, which makes other officials scratch their heads.

Feng Wuhou came closer, and said to Feng Wuxi mysteriously: "Brother Eleven's big day, I, as an elder brother, have nothing to do, so I will give you two stunning beauties, and they have been handed over to your manager, and you will be satisfied after enjoying them!" He let out a series of ambiguous laughter, and his face flushed when he heard it, and he secretly cursed Feng Wuhou's prank in his heart.

Feng Wuxian came a little later, originally he came to the household department just to support Yue Qianfan, but since He Mobin entered the household department, He Furong's power penetration has never stopped. There have always been a lot of people coveting this fat place, so he had to hold the prince's shelf and press there, and he came and went, and he actually became the shield of Yue Qianfan, the old fox. If it weren't for the wind not hesitating to move today, it would be difficult for him to find time. Fortunately, Fan Qingcheng prepared gifts in advance, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to come empty-handed. In order to avoid suspicion, he asked Yue Qianfan to take the first step, but he deliberately set off half an hour late, so when he arrived at the palace, he was already the last one.

"The seventh brother is a busy man now, today's good day, I don't know what treasures to prepare for the eleventh brother?" Feng Wuhou asked as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, with a narrow smile on his face. He knew that Feng Wuxian had been busy settling down the household recently, and the gifts must have been prepared in a hurry, so he waited to see the show. It's no secret that Concubine Yu's two sons are estranged, I just hope it's true.
