163. Chapter 162. The soul after a thousand years
And Feng Guifei also knew that her niece was friendly with the crown princess, and this time she came to Kunning Palace to hear that the queen had passed her niece into the palace, so she asked the other two concubines to come to visit the queen, in fact, she wanted to see what the queen was doing with her niece, afraid that the queen would bully her niece. And she sent things to Xuanqing, on the one hand, she also wanted Xuanqing to have a good relationship with Feng Xiuyan, so that she could help their Feng family more in the future, and on the other hand, it was also to express her heart as an elder to a junior.
Seeing this, the two concubines on the side also followed suit, and took out their valuable jewelry to give to Xuanqing, but they refused to fall behind. After all, Xuanqing is the crown princess, if nothing else, she will be the queen in the future. Moreover, the crown prince's favorite concubine, they naturally have heard of it, and it is always right to win over them.
Xuanqing was clear in her heart like Mingjing, thanked her one by one, and accepted everything, but she couldn't help but feel a little helpless in her heart, she really didn't like these hypocritical things.
The queen glanced coldly at the meeting gifts given by the three concubines in Xuanqing's hand, picked up a teacup, and said while drinking tea: "It took a lot of time for the princess to leave the palace this time, since she is back, she will move around more in the future, don't let people gossip and say that you don't understand the rules." This palace is not as free as outside the palace, and there are rules everywhere. ”
Xuanqing understood the meaning of the queen's words, and made it clear that she wanted to suppress her, telling her that she was the master of the harem and Ouyang Luoxun's mother, so don't know who is the biggest because of other concubines' overtures. also specifically mentioned her original "low" status, making it clear that she would be threatened. On his face, he quietly pretended to nod respectfully, and responded as if he was taught: "Yes, Erchen wrote it down." ”
Ouyang Luoxun looked at the queen's cold attitude from the side, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he also didn't show it. How could he not understand in his heart that the queen was still dissatisfied with Xuanqing for doing this crown princess, she had always wanted her niece, Zhao Biying, the county lord, to do this position. But the wood has already become a boat, Xuanqing has become the crown princess, even if the queen disagrees with a hundred, it will be useless, she can only suppress Xuanqing in her identity, and find Xuanqing unhappy.
And the fight between these women, he is not easy to get involved with a man. Moreover, he can't help Xuanqing too obviously in front of the queen, otherwise it will only backfire and make the queen hate Xuanqing even more. So, now as long as the queen doesn't go too far, he won't say anything. The relationship with the queen still needs to show off where he comes from, and it is good for him to remain silent between these two women.
Several noble concubines were enthusiastic and asked Ouyang Luoxun and Xuanqing to tell them what they had seen and heard during the private interview with Weifu along the way, and these women who had been stuffed in the palace all the year round had not seen much of the outside world for many years, so they naturally wanted to hear those interesting folk stories.
Xuanqing and Ouyang Luoxun also picked some small things to talk about, in the end, they didn't really go to Weifu to investigate the people's feelings, so naturally there were not so many things to say, so they just talked about fooling a few women.
Halfway through, a person dressed as a guard came to Ouyang Luoxun, and whispered in Ouyang Luoxun's ear after asking for peace, and Ouyang Luoxun got up and said: "Queen Mother, several mothers, Shu Erchen has some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you first." ”
The queen nodded, waved her hand casually, and said, "Then go, business matters." She also knew in her heart that this son had never talked much, and this time she accompanied several of them to talk, probably because of the crown princess.
Ouyang Luoxun looked at Xuanqing again, thinking that he would take her away with him, after all, if she left by herself, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to deal with it alone. Moreover, he is not there, if his mother says that she will marry him a side concubine, how will she deal with it alone? He didn't feel comfortable leaving her here alone.
But before he could speak, the queen followed his gaze, saw his intentions, and said: "Just let the crown princess stay and talk to us, I see that several concubines also like her very much." If you have something to do, go and get busy, don't delay. ”
Ouyang Luoxun's brows wrinkled slightly, and he looked at Xuanqing uneasily, but when he saw Xuanqing, he smiled slightly, as if he was telling him, she would be fine, although he was still not very relieved, but he still said: "The minister will retreat first." With that, he took the guard who had just arrived in a hurry and left.
Xuanqing stayed and gossiped with these ladies for more than half an hour, and then followed the three concubines when they were about to leave, telling the queen that she had just come back and had to prepare something for the prince, so the queen didn't stop her. After all, women are all husbands.
Also retiring with Xuanqing and others was Feng Xiuyan.
Out of Kunning Palace, Feng Xiuyan said goodbye to Feng Guifei and came together with Xuanqing. Just now at the queen's place, both of them pretended to be very rusty, especially Feng Xiuyan, who was as polite as everyone else, not at all as casual as usual, but this one and Xuanqing walked together, and their original form was immediately revealed.
I saw Feng Xiuyan stretching her waist, taking a deep breath and saying, "Dealing with this woman like the queen can exhaust me to death." ”
Xuanqing looked at Feng Xiuyan's appearance, and then remembered that she should not have appeared in this Kunning Palace, it seems that the queen passed her on. couldn't help but look at her with a slightly tense face and asked, "What is the queen looking for you for?" The two of them walked in the direction of the East Palace as they spoke.
"Huh." Feng Xiuyan chuckled, as if she didn't care, and said, "Don't you just want to buy my." After thinking about it, he said, "It doesn't seem to be a bribe, and she didn't give me money...... Well, she just wants me to do things for her in the future, you know. ”
Xuanqing frowned: "She asked you to do things for her?" What can she do for her? "Feng Xiuyan is the one who is about to marry the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince was not born to the queen, it can be said that he has nothing to do with the queen, what does the queen want Xiuyan to do for her? Xuanqing's heart moved, could it be ......
Sure enough, in the next second, Feng Xiuyan saw a mocking look on her face, and said lazily: "I think you can guess too, don't you just want me to monitor the Seventh Prince's every move for her, to see if the Seventh Prince has any plans to compete for the crown prince or something." After a pause, she said: "She also said that if I can bring down the Seventh Emperor for her, she will no longer embarrass my aunt and will let the Nine Emperors go." You should also know that the queen and my aunt have always been not very good, and the queen has troubled my aunt several times before, and she has made my aunt suffer a lot by virtue of her title of the lord of the harem. ”
Hearing this, Xuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning deeper, "Then did you agree?" ”
Feng Xiuyan glanced at Xuanqing's worried appearance, smiled casually, and shrugged her shoulders as if relaxed: "In this Kunning Palace, can I still say the word 'no'?" Naturally, I had no choice but to agree. ”
Xuanqing's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but persuade: "How can you agree?" Xiuyan, no matter what, if you marry the Seventh Prince, you will be his wife, and if he is overthrown, it will definitely not be good for you! Xiuyan, you have to think about it carefully, don't miss your life. It's one thing to marry and be unfavored, but it's another thing if he is down. To put it bluntly, even if you are not favored, it is still the concubine that the emperor gave him to marry in the Ming Media, and it is also a high status. She has always been very direct with Xiuyan, and she does not shy away from saying anything.
Feng Xiuyan looked at Xuanqing amusedly, and said with a smile: "Niu, are you stupid for me?" ”
As he spoke, he flicked it on Xuanqing's head before continuing: "There is a saying that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, I was just in her Kunning Palace, and she gave me a request, can I not agree?" If I don't agree, I don't know what she's going to do with me. That's why I call it a delaying tactic, I promised it first, and then I said it, it's one thing to agree, but it's another thing to do it or not. ”
After a pause, he frowned and said, "However, I think she will definitely ask me for information or something in the future, huh...... Hehe, it's one thing for me to give her information, but as for the true or false surname of the information, it's naturally another thing. ”
Xuanqing raised her eyebrows, she understood, and teased with a smile: "Yo, I really didn't see it, this person hasn't married yet, and he has already protected the seven princes of other people, the seven princes are so blessed!" ”
Feng Xiuyan laughed out loud as if she had heard some joke, and waved her hand indifferently and said casually: "Cut, my sister has never seen him, and she doesn't even know that he is round, flat, short, and tall." Hmph, if I let him protect him, it won't be his turn. Sister, this is planning for her own little life. Alas, I also want to open it, anyway, after I get married, I will live mine, he will live his, I have no interest in him, just don't interfere with each other. ”
The corners of Xuanqing's eyes twitched, how can I say that the rumored Seven Princes are also the image of a beautiful man, does she want to describe others as so unbearable? And...... To each his own? Is this a god-horse idea? How can they live their own lives?
Seeing Xuanqing's slightly twitching expression, Feng Xiuyan blinked mischievously and said, "You don't understand this." Oh, I'm a good sister when you're a good sister, and I secretly sue you for something, and you are not allowed to sue others, just you know. Actually...... I'm here through time, you know? ”
Xuanqing shook his head honestly.
Feng Xiuyan had a look of understanding on her face, "I don't think you know." Well, let's put it this way, in fact, my soul comes from the world a thousand years later, and I am not from your time, you know? Feng Chengxiang's real daughter, Feng Xiuyan, died as early as two years ago, and my soul came to her inexplicably, so I can only live according to her identity, and inexplicably, I have all her memories. ”
