Although the rumors of King Cheyue's favorite wife in the outside world have not been overnight, there have always been many people who have heard and passed on it, but very few people really believe it. Except for those who have seen it with their own eyes, most of the characters in the government and the opposition only think that this is just one of the tricks that King Cheyue shows that he has no intention of ruling the government and intends to make Emperor Xuan feel at ease.

Therefore, most of the hundred officials at the funeral of the prime minister's wife today, seeing King Cheyue so biased in public, were inevitably a little surprised that they couldn't come back to their senses.

"Lord Wang is really, how can you ask me this kind of thing? What's more, although the concubine has already married into the Cheyue Palace, and has become a member of the royal family Long Clan, she is also the daughter of the Feng family after all, if you really want me to decide this matter, I am afraid that the two Mo adults will not agree. ”

Feng Huanling looked frightened and embarrassed, but there was a bit of coquettish smile hidden in his eyes when he looked at Long Yucang.

"What the princess said is reasonable, let's ask the prince to make a decision."

When the old lady saw Long Yucang say this, she already decided in her heart that the prince was towards the Feng family, otherwise how could she specifically ask them what the Feng family's daughter had to say about this matter? Therefore, she decided to agree with Mrs. Mo's proposal this time, and leave it to King Cheyue to decide whether to open the coffin for an autopsy.

Feng Wanquan still felt that something was wrong, but his mother had already spoken, and he was not good at refusing after all, and the best solution at the moment seemed to be to let King Cheyue, who was the only one with the right identity and status, and relatively fair, decide to be more reasonable, and it would also convince most people.

Long Yucang said solemnly: "This king has never liked to meddle in things, and if you want to manage it, you must be very fair." Master Mo and Mrs. Feng, do you really want this king to come to the idea of whether to open the coffin? Won't go back? ”

Mo Yuchi was the first to say: "Since I have invited the prince to come forward to make a decision, I believe that the prince will not be biased." I don't know what the Feng family wants to get off the official again, but at least my Mo family will never have another incident. ”

Feng Wanquan glanced at his mother, and also stepped forward and said, "Leave it up to the prince's decision." ”

"Okay, since both of them look up to this king, then this king will no longer push the commission, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results if the two of them continue to dispute today's affairs."

After both parties made their statements clear, Long Yucang moved his body, paced to Mo Yaqin's coffin and stood still, and after muttering for a long time as if embarrassed, he resolutely turned to face everyone.

"This king believes that his father-in-law's feelings for his mother-in-law are extremely deep, and he also believes in the integrity of Lord Jing Zhaoyin. But the suspicions of the two adults are also reasonable, after all, it is a fact that the mother-in-law covered the coffin too early, so that they came to pay tribute but could not see the last face, and it was inevitable that there would be misunderstandings. According to this king, the best solution to this matter is to open the coffin and re-examine the autopsy, which can not only prove the innocence of the Feng family, but also reassure the Mo family. In order to calm the chaos, I had to grieve the deceased, and I thought that a person who was as generous and sensible as his mother-in-law when he was alive would definitely be able to understand the difficulties of his father-in-law, and he would not complain if he knew it. ”

King Cheyue said very fairly, and all the onlookers nodded in agreement, the Mo family was even more happy, and the Feng family was obviously a little stiff, especially the old lady who always believed in her grandson-in-law, and she didn't react for a long time.

Mo Aoqun said happily: "Prime Minister, since even the imperial uncle said so, you won't regret breaking your word, right?" ”

Feng Wanquan coughed and smoothed his throat, and said with a slight brow: "My Feng family is worthy of my heart, and now that the prince has come forward to make the decision, I am naturally not afraid to open the coffin again." However, now that it is time for the banquet, everyone must be tired after working hard in the house for a long time, so it is better to have a good lunch first, and then it is not too late to work hard in the afternoon to mobilize the people to re-examine the body. ”

The hour is indeed close to noon, and the matter of opening the coffin for an autopsy will inevitably affect people's appetite after all, so it is very reasonable for Prime Minister Feng to propose this, and it is a compassionate style for the sake of the guests as the host.

The Mo family had already achieved their goal, so it was naturally difficult to refuse such a proposal, so the two Mo adults agreed, and King Cheyue didn't say anything, and moved to the front hall where the banquet was prepared with all the guests.

Seeing that the old lady's face was obviously much colder than before, Feng Huanling pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Grandmother thinks that the prince's decision is unfair, so she is not happy?" ”

The old lady naturally felt so in her heart, and she was not happy, but she couldn't say this on the table after all, so she only said: "No, it's just that when I think of your mother's bones are not cold, I have to be tossed for no reason, and I feel embarrassed for her." ”

After that, the old lady sighed lowly, claiming that she was unwell and unsuitable to accompany the guests to go back to rest first, and then instructed Mama Chu to help her go back to the inner house.

Feng Huanling, who deliberately slowed down and followed behind the crowd, gave a few words to Yushu beside her, and saw her nod and leave before taking Su Yue and Zhilan and continuing to walk slowly towards the front hall.

Long Yucang, who had been silently watching her arrangement, said: "The lady also thinks that Lord Yuezhang will take advantage of the time of the banquet to take action?" ”

Feng Huanling nodded calmly and said: "At least with what I know about him, he will never let the Mo family have a chance to see the corpse in the coffin, so he must make some arrangements, but I can't think of how far he can do it for the time being." ”

Long Yucang didn't continue to ask her what she was doing when she arranged Yushu out, but just took the initiative to take her hand with a light smile, and walked into the front hall in front of everyone in full view. It immediately caused an uproar among the officials, but they did not feel envy or jealousy like the female dependents, but felt that as a man and a prince and uncle, King Cheyue's behavior would inevitably lose his identity.

However, it was obvious that the people who were in the spotlight didn't care what they thought, and Long Yucang personally helped Feng Huanling to sit down in the seat before he sat down beside her. After the banquet began, she frequently personally added wine to her dishes, etc., and many officials shook their heads again and again.

"Does the prince want the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to know that Miss Fengsi is a red face and trouble, or does he want some people to feel more at ease and be sure that you are just a real 'idle king' who revolves around the princess?"

In fact, Feng Huanling has not been taken care of so carefully on weekdays, but according to her current understanding of Long Yucang, she knows that he is by no means a person who deliberately shows off, if it is not for another purpose, there is no need to still treat her like this in public.

"What, does the lady think that treating you well for her husband has another purpose?"

The slight smile on the corner of Long Yucang's mouth was not like annoyance, but more like deliberately teasing her, but Feng Huanling's face changed slightly when she heard this.

Is she too preoccupied? Why do you always feel that he has something to say?

That's right, from the very beginning, she had been wondering why such an innocent person as him would take a fancy to her, until she later learned that the legendary widow had a crush on a certain woman, and most of her was noticed by him and even married because of some resemblance or relationship with that woman.

But when she finally found the "answer", she didn't feel relaxed or relieved, but she became more and more awkward in her heart.

Ren's heart was full of thoughts, but Feng Huanling didn't confide in half a word, only pulled the corners of his mouth at him lonely, and continued to eat the rich dishes he brought in silence.

Those are all things she likes to eat on weekdays, and although she has never deliberately mentioned them to him, he still knows them well.

Such care and consideration is certainly warm and sweet, but she can't help but think that he is so kind to her for the sake of another woman. And when I thought about it like this, the sweetness in my heart suddenly became a little bitter and astringent, and the deliciousness in my mouth began to be like chewing wax.

Although it is a funeral banquet, when the atmosphere of the banquet gradually improves, it is inevitable that there will be scenes of mutual toasting.

Noticing that King Cheyue and the princess were rarely silent, and did not continue to be affectionate, some people began to raise their eyes to this side.

Mo Yuchi did not shy away from rushing in front of others, and raised his head to salute: "Thank you for your success today." ”

"Lord Taiwei's words are serious, this king just tries to be fair and just talk about things." After Long Yucang put the dishes on the chopsticks into Feng Huanling's bowl, he returned the salute unhurriedly, "Of course, if Lord Taiwei is willing to admit his feelings, this king will naturally be happy to accept it." ”

Hearing this, Mo Yuchi smiled deeply, and only after drinking a cup of wine did he say, "That's it, it's very good." ”

As soon as the words fell, before Long Yucang could say anything, a series of panicked announcements suddenly came from outside the banquet hall.

"Oh no, no, Prime Minister, the mourning hall, the mourning hall is on fire!"

"What?!"

Feng Wanquan was so frightened that he threw the wine buds in his hand to the ground, and only then did he leave the table in a hurry and go to the direction of the mourning hall with the house slave who had come to report the news.

"Father's drama is a bit too much."

Feng Huanling muttered a sentence with a smile, and suddenly a palm carved from white jade suddenly appeared before meeting, so he was very accustomed to handing his soft palm to his palm, and raised his voice and said: "Mother's funeral is really full of disasters, and I don't know how big the fire is, shouldn't even my mother's coffin be burned?" ”

Long Yucang took her up and said: "Don't worry too much, lady, let's go over and see the situation, although the weather is still dry and prone to fire, but the fire in the mourning hall in this blue sky and white day is inevitably a little strange." What do you think, Captain Mo? ”

Mo Yuchi, who put down his gesture, snorted coldly: "It's really time for this fire to ignite!" ”

Although the banquet was just over halfway through, and Feng Wanli and the Tan clan also stayed to appease the guests, there were still many people who followed in the footsteps of King Cheyue and his wife and the two Mo adults and rushed to the burning mourning hall to see the excitement.

As early as when Prime Minister Feng hurriedly left the table, Jing Zhaoyin followed closely behind, and while the Feng family tried their best to extinguish the fire, he began to arrange personnel to investigate the cause of the fire on the spot in accordance with his duties. After the fire was extinguished, he brought people in to investigate the scene as soon as possible.

According to Jing Zhaoyin's conclusion after careful investigation, not long after the funeral feast began, a fire began to break out in the mourning hall.
