Chapter 64: The Empress

When she entered, Empress Meng Keqing was already waiting in the main seat of the hall.

Feng Xiying stepped forward with Yulan, bowed slightly, and then looked up at the empress.

I have to say that this Meng Keqing is also a complete beauty embryo.

Dressed in a golden silk white phoenix robe, with a dragon shadow made of pure gold, coupled with exquisite makeup, Feng Xiying felt as if she had seen the queen mother.

It's not that Feng Xiying has really seen the Queen Mother, it's just that this majestic and sacred feeling is very shocking.

"Miss Feng, you need to kneel down when you see the empress." Magnolia whispered a reminder from the side.

Feng Xiying glanced at her, "My hometown doesn't have the habit of kneeling when I see people. ”

The empress chuckled and waved her hand to signal Yulan to step back.

"Miss Feng really has the courage, please take a seat." The empress put her hand in front of her and said in a calm tone.

Feng Xiying listened to her words quite gently, the vigilance in her heart was slightly reduced, and she stepped up to the guest seat and sat down.

After sitting down, Feng Xiying straightened up and asked, "I don't know what the empress is doing to invite me alone today?" ”

The empress picked up the wine glass full of wine and smiled at Feng Xiying: "Thank you, Miss Feng, for saving the concubine." ”

Feng Xiying didn't move his wine glass, "Du Gongzi has already thanked me." ”

"Although the concubine has thanked her, she still wants to thank Miss Feng again." The empress held her glass and did not put it down.

Feng Xiying is not a person who doesn't know how to read the occasion, so she picked up her wine glass and drank it all, "So it's not easy for me to refuse." ”

The empress smiled when she saw her drink, and drank all the wine in her glass.

The palace maid poured wine for the two of them again, and the empress covered her sleeves and took a bite of food, "Miss Feng, please use it too." ”

Feng Xiying was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

"I don't know where Miss Feng is from?" The empress took two bites and put down her chopsticks before asking.

Feng Xiying swallowed a mouthful of food before saying, "Wandering people, the four seas are home." ”

There was some emotion on the empress's face, but Feng Xiying didn't see it, "How did Miss Feng and the concubine meet?" ”

"I met on the road, I felt that there was a fate, and I helped casually. How? Didn't Du Gongzi tell the empress? Feng Xiying didn't say specifically, but it was also a fact.

After hearing this, the empress drank another glass of wine, "How much does Miss Feng know about the concubine?" ”

"I don't know about it, do I think he has a good personality and is worth making friends?" Feng Xiying said casually.

"Friends? Miss Feng thinks that with the status of a noble concubine, are you worthy of being friends with him? Although the empress still smiled, she was already a little unkind when she spoke.

Feng Xiying felt that something was wrong when she heard this, and said unceremoniously: "Du Gongzi thinks it is worthy, then it is worthy." ”

The empress's smile faded, "Do you know the origin of the concubine?" ”

"I don't know, but since you're in love, why care about your background." Feng Xiying remembered that she had talked about this topic when she first met Du Yue.

"King Ningxi, it was the concubine who killed him." The empress stared at Feng Xiying and said for a moment.

"Sure enough." Feng Xiying had long guessed that Du Yue might be a killer, but she couldn't imagine that the person who killed was such a big name.

"Sure enough? He even told you this? The empress's voice rose slightly.

Feng Xiying stared at the empress and said calmly: "I didn't say it, I guessed." ”

The empress sneered when she heard this, "Don't you know his identity and aren't afraid at all?" ”

"Afraid of what? I didn't offend him. Feng Xiying felt that this empress was talking but a brain.

"What does Miss Feng think of the concubine?" The empress suddenly pulled up an irrelevant question.

Feng Xiying vaguely knew what the Hongmen banquet was for tonight.

Shouldn't the empress feel that she and Du Yue have a leg and be jealous?

"The concubine has a very good personality, she is also very kind, and her three views are very correct, but I am not interested in a married man." Feng Xiying finished praising and finally made a stand.

The smile on the empress's face recovered slightly after hearing this, "But Miss Feng didn't know the identity of the concubine before, did she?" ”

"I don't know, but I'm not interested in men who look better than me, otherwise I won't be able to stand out my beauty." Feng Xiying pulled out a reasonable-sounding reason.

The empress was quite satisfied with this answer, and raised her wine glass to indicate slightly: "Miss Feng is a smart person. ”

"I don't dare, but I'm still relatively clear about my positioning." Feng Xiying finished speaking and drank the wine in the glass.

"Who are you, that boy?" The Empress asked again.

Feng Xiying felt that this empress was a little out of the way, "It's my younger brother, not my own brother, my godbrother." ”

"But according to Gu's understanding, he seems to have something to do with Liu Shangshu." The empress asked, shaking her glass.

"Empress, if you pick up a purse on the street, and you don't know whose it is, will you break the law by holding it in your hand first?" Feng Xiying didn't answer, but asked the empress a question.

The empress smiled: "It's not a crime, but it should be handed over to the government, if you take possession of it privately, it will be a crime." ”

"But if the purse is embroidered with words, and I take it to find the original owner and return to the original owner, so what?" Feng Xiying asked again.

"The embroidered words may not be the person who actually owns the purse, but it may also be someone else's." The empress still looked at Feng Xiying with a smile.

"But if the purse is broken and there is no belongings in it, can it be considered an abandoned thing?" Feng Xiying still did not back down.

"But if the owner of the purse comes to look for it, does Miss Feng think it should be returned to its original owner?" The empress looked at Feng Xiying's eyes with a sense of inevitability.

Feng Xiying felt a little deflated, Lan Qi did run out, and it was not right to get a name.

The empress saw that Feng Xiying didn't answer, she drank a glass of wine herself, and then said slowly: "It's a good thing that Miss Feng is helpful, but sometimes you have to be careful about doing bad things with good intentions." ”

"I don't understand what the empress means." Feng Xiying pretended to be stupid.

"Miss Feng said earlier that she was not interested in a married man, but do you know that this young man is also a married man?" The empress looked at Feng Xiying's eyes with some unclear meaning.

Feng Xiying felt that this empress was digging a pit for herself step by step.

"It's because I'm not interested that Lan Qi has become my younger brother." Feng Xiying's face did not change and replied.

The empress was stunned for a moment, and then pulled away her smile, "Now that the owner of the purse has come to claim it, presumably Miss Feng will not forcibly occupy this purse and not return it, right?" ”

"What if I'm going to take it by force?" Feng Xiying knew that if Lan Qi returned to Liu Shangshu, it would probably be more than lucky.

"Miss Feng is the life-saving benefactor of the concubine, if you really want that Lan Qi, you can open up with Liu Shangshu, but you have a face, and Liu Shangshu will not give it if you want to come." The empress said very casually.

Feng Xiying was very disdainful of this kind of remarks, which was the same as the attitude of the man in the Heavenly Sage who treated women as accessories, and if he changed it to Meng Xiguo, men would become women's items.

Feng Xiying stood up and saluted the empress, and then looked up at the empress, "Lan Qi is not a purse, nor is it anyone's belongings, he has his own thoughts and feelings, and I hope the empress will not be strong." ”

The empress had a sense of déjà vu with Feng Xiying's words, as if someone had said something similar before.

Feng Xiying stood at the foot of the steps at this time, looking at the empress who was neither humble nor arrogant, but this gesture made the empress have a good impression of her.

"Miss Feng, even if that young man is not an item, but he was bought by Liu Shangshu with money, and no matter how reluctant he is, he is also Liu Shangshu's person." The reason why the empress cares so much about this matter is because Liu Shangshu has been suing for three days in a row.

"Empress, I saved Du Gongzi, except for a glass of thin wine, can you dare to ask for a reward?" Feng Xiying had no choice but to speak.

The empress knew what she wanted to say and sighed slightly.
