Chapter 57: The Queen Mother's Teachings
"Hey, it turns out that Nangong's niece has another heart, that's a pity, I thought I could become a good sister in the future, but now it seems that I can only be your aunt."
Seeing that Emperor Xuan's anger was uncomfortable, Feng Huanling was naturally in a good mood, but he deliberately pretended to be sorry on his face, and deliberately changed the title back to "niece" to strengthen the fact that Nangong Yingshi said that they were in a generational gap.
She once again showed that she was not a jealous woman, and Hedong was as fierce as a lion roaring and did not prepare for King Cheyue's concubine, but it was really the emperor's uncle who was too affectionate and single-minded, insisting on marrying only one wife and refusing to take a concubine.
And the "lucky ones" who were personally chosen by the Holy God already have their hearts, should this be counted as providence?
"The courtiers have the grace of God, and ask the Holy God to forgive their sins."
After the heavier choking was relieved, Nangong Ying, who secretly wiped away her tears, kowtowed to the upper seat again, and her tone was full of repentance.
"This ...... It was I who neglected to supervise in advance and almost messed up the mandarin duck spectrum, what is Miss Nangong's crime? Get up and go back to your seat. ”
Long Jingming smiled, but secretly spit out his depressed resentment, although this time the calculation of Long Yucang was not successful, but at least he had already tested Feng Wanquan's friendship with the Nangong clan, and obviously Princess Cheyue would play a big role in it, and he would have to guard against this in the future.
After all, Feng Wanquan is already the prime minister, and he has in-laws with the Mo and Su families, if he makes an alliance with the Nangong clan again, his momentum will inevitably make him even more jealous than the previous Yan clan!
The matter of recommending the side concubine for King Cheyue came to an end, the banquet continued, and one after another the daughters of the official family who were eager to perform went to the palace to show their talents, and suddenly it was a lively scene of singing and dancing.
Originally, she wanted to see Nangong Ying's joke but didn't see it, Feng Qingyuan was disappointed, and immediately became jealous and hateful to Feng Huanling, the beloved of King Cheyue, so she no longer had the intention of feasting, and her eyes always fell on the most special seat under Emperor Xuan.
Sensing the sight that seemed to burn two holes in his body, Feng Huanling calmly turned his eyes and smiled, and even raised a glass to Miss Feng San from afar.
"Hey, they're empty of a bamboo basket this time."
Feng Huanling took a sip of wine and then withdrew his gaze to look at the moon-god-like husband beside him again, and smiled with crooked eyes, "Does the prince also feel empty?" I almost accepted a fresh and tender beautiful side concubine, but in the end I was rejected by others, I have never encountered this situation before, right? ”
Yes, he is the first beautiful man in Guiyuan, a half-immortal prince who is admired and admired by women all over the world, he has always been the only one who refuses others, when has he ever been rejected by others?
"Lady, are you disappointed? Are you really looking forward to taking a concubine for your husband? ”
When the cold gaze fell on the delicate face with slightly red cheeks due to thin drunkenness, it instantly turned into soft spring water, Long Yucang pulled her into his arms with a suppressed smile, and pinched her face as if venting his anger.
Originally, he just wanted to punish a little, but when his fingertips touched the smooth skin of her cheeks, he was reluctant to leave, and the kneading gradually turned into an ambiguous caressing.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly, a warning cough interrupted the scene.
"I don't know what the Queen Mother has to say?"
If it is purely for Empress Dowager Mo, Long Yucang has no likes or dislikes, or he has no likes or dislikes for most people, because he doesn't care at all.
It can be seen that Empress Dowager Mo's gaze at Feng Huanling is quite sharp, and there is a sense of contempt and blame, and his voice can't help but become more cold and indifferent.
"The mourning family remembers that the emperor has always had high hopes for the prince, since the prince has returned to the world and married the princess, he should take his own responsibility, share more for the saint, and work together to stabilize the Long family."
Even though he was not used to seeing the intimacy between the two in public, the words spoken by the Empress Dowager Mo were still righteous and awe-inspiring, just hinting that Long Yucang Mo wanted to blindly indulge in the gentle township and "lose his mind".
"The Queen Mother has taught a lesson, but the Holy Lord is the true dragon and the Son of Heaven is a genius, so I am afraid that I will not need the help of idlers such as ministers."
Long Yucang had a slight smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as a 10,000-year-old ice cave, although his words were in response to Empress Dowager Mo, he calmly met his gaze when Long Jingming turned his head to pay attention.
As an emperor, he regards this country as a treasure and protects it by all means, but I can't imagine that there will be people who don't care about these at all, right?
"Since the prince has no intention of political affairs, let the princess enter the palace from time to time to accompany the mourning family to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and pray for the blessing of my Shenlong country."
Obviously, Empress Dowager Mo had long expected that King Cheyue would not be easily involved, after all, now Emperor Xuan's defense of him has become increasingly obvious, if he shows an active participation in the government again, he is afraid that he will be killed next.
Therefore, she originally wanted Princess Cheyue to enter the palace, and as for copying the Buddha and praying for blessings, it is naturally an excuse, and there must be another mystery behind it.
A woman who can stand in the harem where there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere will not be a simple person, not to mention that she has gone all the way from the palace concubine to the queen and then to the queen mother, Mo Yuhuan's mind is not so easy to speculate.
Hearing this, Long Yucang's expression was awe-inspiring, thinking that although she entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, she also had more opportunities to meet with Long Jingming, and was about to argue with the Empress Dowager Mo for a few words to refuse the matter, but she was secretly pulled by Feng Huanling.
"Being able to enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings is naturally a great blessing, how can the courtiers be unwilling?"
Feng Huanling quietly tightened his fingers that were holding his sleeves, and glanced at Long Yucang deeply, before he solemnly got up and thanked Empress Dowager Mo.
She knew what he was worried about, but she never knew that she had repeatedly disobeyed Empress Dowager Mo's will, not to mention that entering the palace was not only bad for her.
Now that the contradictions between them and Emperor Xuan are becoming clearer, at least on the surface, they are still maintaining a harmonious faction, and I think Long Jingming will not make too many moves, after all, he thought that Long Yucang was dead before he moved his heart towards her, and now it is Empress Dowager Mo who wants her to enter the palace in front of the ministers, and he has to take care of it after all.
Even if Empress Dowager Mo prepared a lot of traps in the palace? Being able to have the opportunity to enter and leave the forbidden land of the harem gave her a chance to plan and arrange for the great cause of revenge.
And Feng Qingxiao on the other side saw this, and finally felt better in her heart, speaking of the Empress Dowager Mo is her own aunt, although even if she sees it, she can only be called the Empress Dowager, but this relationship between blood and relatives is true after all.
Now that Feng Huanling is clearly being targeted by the Queen Mother, is she still afraid that she will not have a chance to put this little slut to death?
"Well, it's good to know how to cherish blessings."
Seeing that King Cheyue and the princess did not shirk any more, Empress Dowager Mo's solemn face also softened a little, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.
"In the future, the fourth sister will be able to enter the palace from time to time, which is really excellent, and the happiest is the second sister, right?"
Feng Qingwan actually had the same thoughts as Feng Qingwan, but her face was full of extremely sincere joy, and she even affectionately pulled up the wind and ice around her, and she looked very happy and relieved.
"Yes, I thought that it would be difficult to get close to my sister again after entering the palace, but I didn't want to borrow the light of the Queen Mother's mercy and have to meet my sister in the palace."
The joy in Feng Huanbing's eyes is real, but she can't reveal more in this situation, and she can't help but worry while rejoicing.
But since entering the palace, she has not been able to see through the thoughts of the Empress Dowager Mo, but when she thought of the concern of the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister's wife Mo, she felt that it was more than auspicious to let Feng Huanling enter the palace.
Long Yucang was very concerned about Feng Huanling's call to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother to copy Buddhist scriptures, in addition to arranging for Yushu to follow him closely, he also arranged for Luo Xian to secretly accompany him to sneak in to protect him.
Ordinary women are not allowed to bring any attendants into the palace, even if Princess Cheyue has an extraordinary status, she is only allowed to bring a maid to accompany her, and there is no chariot to greet her in the Cheban Palace, only a female official is responsible for guiding the way.
Obviously, from the moment she entered the Forbidden Palace, Empress Dowager Mo first gave Feng Huanling a dismount and let her walk through most of the Forbidden Palace into the Qianshou Palace.
"Courtiers see the Queen Mother."
was taken all the way into the warm pavilion by the female official, Feng Huanling lowered her eyebrows and bowed to the Empress Dowager Mo with her eyes, her demeanor and movements were not bad at all, but she didn't hear the sound of her flattening for a long time.
At that time, Empress Dowager Mo was sitting cross-legged on the Luohan couch, her eyes were lightly closed, her hands were twisting the Buddha beads, and she was chanting words in her mouth, as if she was chanting more scriptures.
However, Feng Huanling naturally knew that this was just another means to embarrass herself, so she just continued to kneel without hurry, waiting for Empress Dowager Mo to feel satisfied, and then pay attention to herself.
After about a pillar of incense, the palace maid came over with the decoction that was to be sent every day, and the Empress Dowager Mo stopped chanting and slowly opened her eyes.
"The headache of the mourning family has not been repeated for a long time, this medicine is too bitter and difficult to swallow, and I turned around and told the saint that the mourning family already knew the mind of the saint, so I don't have to prepare so hard in the future."
Looking at the jet-black medicinal juice, the always dignified Empress Dowager Mo couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously a little repulsed by daily drinking.
As early as in the previous life, when Yan Wushuang first entered the palace, he knew that the Empress Dowager Mo had a headache, and it was also since then that Long Jingming began to send soup medicine to the Empress Dowager every day for treatment, which is said to be the most prominent imperial doctor in the imperial hospital who exhausted his life to prepare the prescription, in addition to curing headaches quickly, it is also beneficial to recuperate the Empress Dowager's body.
"Returning to the Queen Mother, after hearing that the Queen Mother thought the decoction was too bitter, she had already ordered the imperial doctor to modify the prescription to adjust the taste, and I wanted to come to the Queen Mother to drink it again this time I would not feel so bitter, and I hope that the Queen Mother would not live up to the filial piety of the Holy One."
The palace maid who came to deliver the medicine was also clever, and she prevaricated back the words of Empress Dowager Mo in just a few words, and it seemed that it was not the first time to deal with this situation.
Although Feng Huanling was still kneeling on the ground and couldn't see the Empress Dowager's expression, she would let her say words of rejection of Long Jingming's kindness, but she was afraid that she noticed something wrong with this decoction, so she did not hesitate to "live up" to the kindness of the saint.
Empress Dowager Mo is not the life and death of Emperor Xuan, according to Feng Huanling's knowledge, when Empress Dowager Mo was still the queen, she was not in harmony with Long Jingming's biological mother Concubine Li, could it be that his filial piety to the "queen mother" on the surface is actually a hidden mystery?
It wasn't until it was said that the decoction of the prescription had been modified, and after frowning and drinking it all, Empress Dowager Mo seemed to see Princess Cheyue kneeling in front of Luohan's couch, and said lightly, "You're here, let's be flat."
Thanking her meticulously first, Feng Huanling slowly stood up with Yushu's support, her legs that had been kneeling for too long were slightly sore, numb and tingling, but she secretly gritted her teeth and silently survived the pain.
"You are a courteous person, so if you have time, you can talk about your second sister, even if you are a concubine, you may not have seen much of the world, but you can't be too petty in the palace."
What Empress Dowager Mo was referring to was naturally that Feng Zhaorong was too stingy in rewarding the palace people a few years ago, so that there were a lot of rumors in the palace.
