"The courtier Fu Ci has seen the Fourth Highness", Fu Ci said with a bowed knee.

Zhou Yi hurriedly returned the salute according to the number of etiquette and said: "After a while, I will call the third lady sister-in-law, how dare I let sister-in-law Wang salute me." ”

Fu Xuanyue, who was standing on the side, heard Zhou Yi's words, and his face was a little unhappy.

"The marriage between the prince and Ah Ci has not yet been finalized, and the fourth brother is now calling Ah Ci 'sister-in-law' a little earlier." Fu said sourly.

On the land of the Imperial Palace, it is in the Middle Palace again. It is said that it is excellent for the queen to be sent to the princess, Zhou Yicai is not stupid, what is the difference between provoking Fu Xuanyu's moldy head in the middle palace and provoking the queen?

Hearing Fu Xuan's words, Zhou Yi hurriedly apologized and said, "What the imperial sister taught me is to make amends for my brother and you." ”

Fu Yuyue refused to stop there, and said: "Brother Huang, you are a must, and today I will punish you for painting a picture for your aunt and two sisters, how about it?" ”

Zhou Yi thought about refusing, but when he saw Fu Yingge nodding, if he said that he refused, he would have touched the queen's face, so he said: "Since the queen mother nodded, it is better for the sons to be respectful than to obey their fate." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yi agreed, Fu Xuanyue shouted at the maidservant: "Xiao Tao, bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the Fourth Highness." ”

Yao Tao got the order, and hurriedly went to the study to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and ordered someone to move a table and put it in the main hall. After Yao Tao laid out the paper, Fu Yuyue glanced at the vase next to him and said, "Flowers with beauty." This flower should have been held by my aunt, but now Ah Ci will be a wife, this time it is better to let Ah Ci hold it, what does my aunt think? ”

How did Fu Yingge not know that Fu Xuanyue was embarrassing Fu Porcelain. But if Fu Xuanyue's tone is not spilled, he will definitely not give up. Thinking of this, Fu Yingge said: "According to the meaning of the agreement, Yao Tao brought the vase over to the third lady." ”

Fu Yingge's consent was something Zhou Yi never expected. The role of the queen mother has always been very respectful in his heart. What's more, the vase is so heavy, how can it take an hour to finish painting a danqing, if you really just lift an hour, I'm afraid you won't be able to lift your arm tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Erchen's painting skills are not good, I am afraid that the third lady will be tired, and I ask the queen mother to think twice." ”

When Fu Yuyue heard Zhou Yi's words, he was afraid that Fu Yingge would change his mind, so he quickly interjected: "The fourth emperor brother is too worried. In this palace, I'm afraid there is no Danqing skill better than the four emperor brothers' painting skills! ”

"This-", without waiting for Zhou Yi to finish speaking, Fu Yingge interrupted, "This palace will do it according to the meaning of the agreement, Ah Ci is about to get married, and this picture of you should be regarded as a little respect for the younger brother's sister-in-law." What does Ah Ci think? ”

When Fu Yingge asked the second half of the sentence, the whole tone made people feel cold. Fu Ci knew very well that if this matter did not follow Fu Xuan's appointment, after Zhou Yi left, he would have no one to protect himself. What's more, she came to the palace nominally to learn etiquette, if Fu Xuan made some moths behind her back, she would not be able to marry Cangxi.

Thinking of this person, Fu Ci responded softly: "The courtiers listen to the arrangement of the queen's mother." ”

Seeing that Fu Ci should go, Fu Xuan gave Yao Tao a look, and Yao Tao picked a heavy vase full of flowers from the hall and handed it to Fu Ci.

Before Fu Ci took the vase, Fu Xuanyue said: "This is a flower cultivated by the flower seeds that are paid tribute outside, it is very expensive, and the third sister has to hug it." ”

The moment Fu Ci took the flower, she regretted it a little, why did she follow Fu Xuan's meaning? It's a big deal to tear your face with her! However, the person in front of her has always been the princess who is given by the saint today, and the queen is the queen behind her. How can this person be provoked?

Fu Xuanyue looked at Fu Ci's trembling arms, and reminded again: "This flower is the queen mother's baby, and the third sister must hold it." ”

Zhou Yi saw that Fu Ci was holding the vase difficult, and hurriedly walked to the table, and said, "Please also ask the queen mother and the two young ladies to take a good position." ”

Fu Yingge herself didn't have too much trouble with Fu Ci, all she wanted was for Fu Yu to marry smoothly and smoothly into the Xiwang Mansion. But Fu Yuyue didn't think so, in her cognition, the people who originally belonged to her and the happiness that belonged to her were all because of Fu Ci's existence.

This action, Fu Xuanyu has been on the pose for a long time. How could Zhou Yi not know that Fu Xuanyue deliberately embarrassed Fu Ci again? If the woman holding the vase in front of him was not the person entrusted by Cangxi, Zhou Yi estimated that she would also embarrass Fu Ci out of the intention of defending Fu Xuanyu. However, he had been in contact with this person and knew that this woman was different from ordinary girls, so he was somewhat favored. In addition, this is something entrusted to him by Cangxi, and Zhou Yi should help Fu Ci with affection and reason.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi simply didn't care about Fu Xuanyue, who was messing around. The pen falls on the paper, first point the back and then the line, and do not waste a moment of effort. Zhou Yi deeply felt that Fu Ci's arm was already sore, so he sped up. The painting that could only be completed in an hour was vividly painted by Zhou Yi with just one cup of tea.

"Okay", Zhou Yi said with a sigh of relief. As he spoke, he hurriedly motioned to Yao Tao to take the vase in Fu Ci's hand.

Fu Yuyue didn't care whether Fu Ci's vase sank or not, and walked straight forward to see Zhou Yi's painting. She didn't believe that it took an hour for Su Rili to paint a Danqing, and the painting workers had grown so fast, and even the speed had increased a lot.

Fu Xuanyue walked to the table, stared at the painting for a few seconds, and his expression immediately became cold, "Brother Huang doesn't have an opinion on Xuanyue, there is no half of the corner of the clothes in this painting." ”

Thanks to her trying her best to delay time, Zhou Yi actually looked down on her like this!

Hearing that Fu Xuanyue was unhappy, Fu Yingge hurriedly walked to the table to look at the painting. In this painting, there are two people, one is sitting on a phoenix chair, and the other is holding a flower on the side.

The expression on Fu Yingge's face also changed a lot, "Yi'er? ”

Without waiting for Fu Yingge to finish speaking, Zhou Yi interrupted and said: "Erchen will show the queen mother what is superb painting skills!" ”

Zhou Yi said, and began to wave his pen and ink again.

Zhou Yi's so-called superb painting skills are the scene in his heart, which leaps on the paper.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Yi put down the pen and said to everyone: "Come and take a look." ”

Fu Yingge was in front, and Fu Xuanyue and Fu Ci followed closely behind him to the table.

The three of them were stunned on the spot when they looked at the painting. I never expected that Zhou Yi would be able to paint Fu Yuyue so vividly without looking at it at all. From eyebrows and eyes to expressions, to movements, to clothing. Every stroke has the charm of Fu Xuanyue.

Fu Xuanyue didn't know why Zhou Yi could paint her so expressively, but Fu Yingge and Fu Ci could see what Zhou Yi meant to Fu Xuanyue.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and this is probably the case.

But a room full of maids are here, and the queen can't talk about it on the bright side, so she has to boast: "Yi'er's painting skills, I'm afraid that this Chengzhou can't find a third person." Look, how expressive the painting of the main palace and these two Nizi are! ”

Zhou Yi broke the kettle for Cangxi this time. He didn't believe that there was this painting, and the queen didn't understand what he meant to Fu Xuanyue.

"Erchen thanks the queen mother for her compliment", Zhou Yi replied.

Fu Yingge pretended to yawn and said with a smile: "This palace is a little tired, you three should retreat first." ”

Hearing this, the three of them bowed and exited the main hall. Fu Yingge looked at the backs of the three of them, and she really had a headache. It is said that the father and mother are the enemies of their children in their previous lives, and this is not false at all.

She treats Zhou Yi like a parent, and she also loves Fu Yiyue as her own daughter. At the moment, this situation is really not what she expected.

Fu Yingge sat in the main hall and was distracted, and after a long time, he said: "Xiao Tao, go and invite the Fourth Highness back, the palace has something to tell him." ”

"Niangniang has already offended the saint because of the second lady's matter, why do you still ......", before Yao Tao finished speaking, she was interrupted by Fu Yingge.

"You just have to go," Fu Yingge said.

How she didn't know that everything just now was in full view. This person who has served her for more than 20 years is used to seeing this kind of thing a lot.

After a moment, Zhou Yi entered the main hall of the Middle Palace again.

After saluting, Fu Yingge motioned to Yao Tao to take all the slaves and maids down.

Fu Yingge got straight to the point and asked directly: "Is today's matter for Ah Ci or is it really about the appointment?" ”

Zhou Yi did not hide it, "The queen mother is wise." The sons and daughters entered the palace today because they were entrusted by others and were loyal. But Erchen does have a deep love for the second lady. ”

Fu Yingge took a sip of tea, and waited for the fragrance of the tea to dissipate before asking, "The trust of the king of the seal?" ”

Zhou Yi replied with a wave of his hand: "Yes"

Fu Yingge was silent for a long time. Zhou Yi doesn't admire the temple, she knows it. But Cangxi made her more and more incomprehensible.

"Are you genuinely affectionate?" Fu Yingge asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Zhou Yi suddenly knelt down, knocked deeply and said: "The mother of the son went early, thanks to the queen mother's willingness to adopt the son to prevent the son from being bullied, this kindness The son will not forget in this life, and naturally he will not lie to the queen mother." ”

Fu Yingge stretched out his hand to help Zhou Yi and said, "Yi'er should know that what Yuyue is thinking about in his heart is Lord Xi. Since you married the daughter of the Shen family, why are you still reluctant to let go? ”

Zhou Yi smiled and replied: "Erchen has known about Yuyue's feelings for Brother Wang for a long time", sighed and said: "Yuyue and Erchen are both hard-working people. ”

Fu Yingge didn't continue with this. It is said that the home of the reincarnated eunuch is good, but how many people know about the sadness?

There was silence in the room again, and Zhou Yi saw that Fu Yingge was a little sad and sad, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't worry about the queen mother, the Shen daughter is not bad." Seeing that Fu Yingge didn't react, Zhou Yi added: "She is very similar to Yu Yue's temperament, and Erchen also likes her very much." ”

Fu Yingge was a little relieved to hear Zhou Yi's words, although she said it to comfort herself when she knew Zhou Yi's words, but she was still relieved to hear from Zhou Yi's mouth.

"It's best if you husband and wife can be in harmony."

Since Zhou Yi had let go of such a child's affection, he didn't care much about it, so he changed the topic.

"Queen Mother, today Erchen met the third brother at the hot spring." Zhou Yi said.

Fu Yingge frowned, this was earlier than the day Zhou Xin mentioned in the letter that he would return to Beijing, not a day and a half, it seemed that this was a matter that had been planned for a long time.

When Zhou Xin returned to the palace, he must have seen Gaozong, but he never came to the middle palace to see him. It's not that Fu Yu wants to put on the queen's shelf, but the two sons of the Shen family, who are simply Sima Zhao's heart - everyone knows it.

Fu Yingge pondered for a long time and said, "This palace hopes that you and Xi'er can help the prince get through this pass." ”

"Brothers work together, and their profits are cut off" Zhou Yi understands. But he can't guarantee that after he and Cangxi help Zhou Ze keep the throne, Zhou Ze will not mutilate his siblings.

Fu Yingge naturally understood Zhou Yi's concerns, so she took Zhou Yi's hand and said, "The queen mother promises that the prince will not be ungrateful in the future." ”

Zhou Yi didn't speak again. Since Gaozong succeeded to the throne, it has taken nearly 40 years from the people's complaints to the current Guotai and Min'an. Could it be that Jinling City is going through another slaughter?

Although he didn't want to see Jinling City washed by blood again, Zhou Yi still planned to be a lobbyist.

Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin have been bound together, if he and Cangxi can't keep the prince. Once the crown prince loses power, the first thing the two brothers can free up is him and Cangxi. However, if he and Cangxi are from the dragon's work, and the queen protects the two of them, even if Zhou Ze wants to get rid of him and Cangxi, the queen thinks that Zhou Ze will not be able to start.

He can figure this out.

"Erchen is willing to serve the queen mother and the prince", Zhou Yi said with a wave of his hand.

Fu Yingge was overjoyed when she heard it, Zhou Yi was so happy that she didn't expect it.

"In this case, the son is the lobbyist of the queen mother, can the queen mother allow the son to do one thing?" Zhou Yi asked playfully.

Fu Yingge looked at Zhou Yi's hippie smiling face, and was also amused by him, and said, "Let's talk about it?" ”

Zhou Yi saw that there was room for negotiation in this matter, and hurriedly said: "Erchen was sent by Brother Wang to protect the third lady, since the queen mother wants Erchen to be this lobbyist." ...... the safety of the third young lady? Zhou Yi paused deliberately.

Fu Yingge nodded Zhou Yi's eyebrows, "You, slippery head!" ”

Seeing Zhou Yi smiling, Fu Yingge said: "Ah Ci is about to become the princess of Xi, etiquette and stewardship are to be learned", saying this, Fu Yingge deliberately paused, looked at Zhou Yi's stiff face, and said: "The queen mother guarantees Ah Ci's safety in the palace." ”

Zhou Yi shook his head, "Erchen dared to ask the queen mother to put the third lady back to the Fu family. ”

What he said made Fu Yingge embarrassed. Fu Qian's attitude towards Fu Ci is in the eyes of the Fu family, and perhaps Fu Ci is temporarily safe to stay in the palace.

Seeing Fu Yingge's hesitation, Zhou Yi said as if she had penetrated her thoughts: "Don't worry, the queen mother, Brother Wang has his own way to let Fu Guogong treat the third lady well." ”

Fu Yingge agreed to Zhou Yi's request, no matter how Fu asked to stop him, Fu Yingge still sent Fu Ci back to Fu's house, and left two grandmothers who taught etiquette.

Zhou Yi didn't dare to delay, and went straight to the Xiwang Mansion.

Cang Er saw that Zhou Yi came back so quickly, thinking that Fu Ci had an accident in the palace, and did not dare to delay for a moment to bring Zhou Yi to Xingyue Pavilion.

When Cangxi saw Zhou Yi, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about Fu Ci's situation.

Previously, the famous Prince Xi looked like everything in heaven and earth had nothing to do with me all day long. Right now, I'm so anxious about a little woman.

The so-called weakness is probably like this.

Zhou Yi saw Cangxi's anxious appearance, and he didn't dare to joke with him anymore, and said, "Sister-in-law Wang is fine, she has been sent back to Fu's mansion." Zhou Yi paused, and then said, "Zhou Xin has returned to Beijing." ”

When Cangxi heard this, his face was silent, and the strength of holding the teacup in his hand suddenly increased, "The queen mother is willing to let Porcela come back, do you want you and me to protect the prince?" ”

As smart as he is.

Fu Yingge's mind is really a small skill of carving insects in Cangxi's eyes. However, looking at it, Zhou Yanyoucai has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he really has no imperial demeanor. Zhou Xin is brave, but he is brave and unstrategic. If it weren't for Zhou Yi's lack of admiration for the temple, I am afraid that this storage position would not be Zhou Ze's turn.

"Yes," Zhou replied, then explained: "This is not a loss-making business. With the queen mother here, the prince will not do anything to you and me easily. On the contrary, once the prince loses power, Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin will definitely get rid of you and me. ”

Zhou Yi's words are good, but before he really joins forces with Zhou Ze, Cangxi plans to do one more thing.

"Cang'er come here", Cangxi called to Cang'er over there.

Cang'er, who got the order, immediately walked to Cangxi's side and waited for Cangxi's order.

"Spread the news of the alliance between the king and the crown prince in the court." Cangxi said, thought about it and added: "Let's just say that the fourth prince has been placed under house arrest by this king." ”

Zhou Yi was puzzled. This war that does not know the outcome has not yet begun, why did Cangxi stand in the camp so hastily.

Seeing that Cang'er was about to walk out, Zhou Yi hurriedly said: "This matter is not appropriate. ”

Cang Er stopped and looked at Cang Xi. Cang Xi smiled and nodded to signal Cang Er to continue to follow his orders.

"Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin's enemy is the crown prince, not us. Misfortune to the East Palace, no better. Cangxi explained.

Zhou Yi only understood what Cangxi meant at this moment. Wang Cangxi, who has a different surname, has no right to compete for the prince, even if he stands in a fixed position, the two brothers Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin face a strong opponent and know which one should stay and which one should be killed.

But Zhou Yi is different from him. Zhou Yi has Zhou's blood flowing in his body, and he has the qualifications to compete for the storage position, if Zhou Yi and Cangxi stand on Zhou Ze's side together, that Zhou Yan and Zhou Xin will definitely take Zhou Yi first.
