Chapter 21: The Crown Princess
Yan Ming stopped the imperial pen in his hand, "Xuan." ”
"Yes, General Xuanfeng is here." Li Yu bent down and retreated outside, shouting loudly.
"General Xuanfeng is here." The little eunuch outside summoned in a loud voice.
After the guards standing outside the door opened the door, Feng Xiang walked in quickly, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he knelt on the ground and made a big salute, "The last general will see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”
"General Feng, please get up quickly, Li Yu, give me a seat to watch tea, Feng Aiqing, you have been stationed at the border for so many years, and you have made a lot of contributions, this Great Wu Country, if it is without you, it is really not good." Yan Ming had already changed out of the dragon robe he wore when he was in the previous dynasty, and he was now wearing an ink-colored civilian robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and sat gently on the dragon chair.
Feng Xiang still knelt on the ground, "The emperor praised it, if it weren't for the emperor sitting in Kyoto, giving a strong backing to the soldiers of Wu State, and providing an endless stream of grain and grass, this Wu Guochen couldn't stand it alone, so this is the emperor's credit, and the minister didn't dare to take credit." ”
"Haha, Li Yu, you see my general, I have been to the border for a few years, and I have become flamboyant, so why don't I help my general up and bring up a pot of Longjing before the rain that Jiangnan paid tribute to." When Yan Ming heard this, he immediately smiled, and ordered Li Yu to help Feng Xiang up.
Li Yu sighed, shook off the white dust in his hand, and stepped forward to help Feng Xiang with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Gonggong Li." Feng Xiang stood up and bowed to the emperor, and then said to Li Yu.
Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help Feng Xiang up, his face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum, and his face was full of flattery, "What the general said can be a disappointment to our family." ”
Hearing this, Feng Xiang had to smile slightly and sit on the chair.
"General, please have tea." Li Yu's apprentice Xiao Dezi brought the tea and said respectfully.
"Thank you, father-in-law." Feng Xiang turned his head to the little eunuch and said.
"General, please use it slowly." Xiao Dezi respectfully lowered his head and handed the teapot to Li Yu.
Li Yu took the teapot and brought it to Yan Ming with a cup of tea.
"Aiqing, you said that you want to ask for a good family affair for your second daughter Feng Muqiu, where does this start?" Yan Ming picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Feng Xiang through the curling smoke and asked.
Feng Xiang was sitting on the chair, but when he heard this, he immediately stood up, and said to Yan Ming respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, the emperor also knows that the second daughter of the last general has been with the last general since she was a child, and she has only returned to the capital in recent days, and she has been in the barracks for so long as a girl, this is ......."
Although the latter words were not finished, Yan Ming already understood what he meant.
The noblewomen in Kyoto have always stayed in the boudoir, and even if they go far away, they must be protected by guards all the way, and there are few women in the barracks who appear there, not to mention that they grew up in the barracks.
Although Feng Muqiu is raised as a boy in the barracks, it is inevitable that there are some omissions, and the barracks are full of men, if Feng Muqiu herself does not give her family affairs, I am afraid that no one in Kyoto will dare to marry her.
Thinking of this, Yan Ming suddenly had an idea, if the prince is allowed to marry this Feng Muqiu, then wouldn't the military power in this world return to the Yan family, and when the prince ascends the throne, who else in this world would dare to disobey?
Thinking of this, Yan Ming's slightly upturned eyes crossed a gleam, he put down the teacup and straightened his body, "Ahem, I don't know if Aiqing has any favorite candidate in her heart, if there is, you can put it forward, and I will definitely give Qiuqiu a marriage." ”
"The emperor also knows that the last general has been at the border all these years, and he doesn't know much about the people in the capital, so he implored the emperor to help Qiuqiu point out a good family business." Feng Xiang's armor slammed with his movements, "And the minister only asks Qiuqiu's future husband to hurt Qiuqiu, and it is enough to be good to Qiuqiu."
Seeing Feng Xiang say this, Yan Ming raised his eyebrows and asked in a joking tone, "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who doesn't know me, can meet Aiqing's standards?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of China is both martial and martial, and his appearance is not bad, so he doesn't know how to match Aiqing's baby daughter?"
"This ...... The ministers were terrified, how could Qiuqiu's identity be worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the matter of the crown princess was related to the national system, Qiuqiu had a reckless personality and was easy to act impulsively, how could he be the crown princess of His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is very important, and the emperor is asked to make another plan. Feng Xiang didn't expect the emperor to propose that Qiuqiu be the crown princess, so he pretended to kneel on the ground in fear and said with his head banged.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks very good, who knows behind his back, and Qiuqiu doesn't know if he can take a fancy to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Over the years, Qiuqiu has been accustomed to seeing all kinds of men in the barracks, ugly, beautiful, thin and fat, although there are many noble children in Kyoto, but not all of them are good-looking, and their conduct and temperament also need to be slowly verified, if you find a bad character, it will hurt Qiuqiu in the future.
The little eunuch standing outside the imperial study heard that the emperor was going to make Feng Muqiu the crown princess, his pupils shrank, and he secretly wrote down the news, and after the shift change, he quietly slipped away to Jingren Palace.
Li Yu didn't expect that the emperor would actually point Feng Muqiu to His Royal Highness the Prince, Feng Muqiu He had also seen it, that woman was always dressed as a man, she looked heroic, not inferior to a man, and I heard that she had been on the battlefield.
However, this General Feng is also bold, and he dares to refuse, if he changes to another minister, I am afraid that he would have knelt down happily to accept the order, Li Yu secretly glanced at Feng Xiang in his heart.
As soon as Yan Ming said this, he was also a little stunned, but the crown princess Feng Muqiu can indeed take on a big responsibility, this child has also seen it, there is a decisive atmosphere of killing that others do not have, and he does not procrastinate in doing things at all, but after all, the position of the crown princess is related to the national system, although Feng Muqiu is good, but she does not have the gentle temperament of a noble girl in Kyoto.
If you marry the prince in the future, I am afraid that the prince will be pressed by her, it seems that there is really no consideration, thinking of this, Yan Ming smiled heartily, "Aiqing is right, this matter is something I owe to consider, you can rest assured, I will definitely find a good family for Qiuqiu, Bao Aiqing is satisfied." ”
"Yes, thank you to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Feng Xiang kowtowed, then stood up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has retired first, and there are still things waiting for the minister to deal with in the barracks." bowed to the emperor, Feng Xiang said seriously.
"Since that's the case, then I won't keep Aiqing, Aiqing will go and get busy first." Seeing this, Yan Ming stood up from the dragon chair, walked down and patted Feng Xiang on the shoulder, "In the future, if you have the opportunity to invite you to drink my treasured wine, we haven't drunk together for a long time." ”
