Chapter Twenty-Three: The Old Love Is Unforgettable

Feng Yanyi turned her head to look in the direction where Hongye came, and bowed to say hello: "The emperor is blessed!" ”

Hongye walked over, lightly grasped Feng Yanyi's hand, and said, "I asked what you were thinking?" ”

Feng Yanyi met Hongye's gaze and said, "The concubine didn't think about anything. ”

Hongye didn't say anything more, and pulled Feng Yanyi to sit down on the hard collapse.

"Your Majesty, the concubines brought the window flowers that they cut by themselves." As he spoke, he took the wrapped window flower from Wen Xia's hand and handed it to Hongye.

Hongye took the window flowers cut by Feng Yanyi, and then opened the paper wrapped on the outside, wanting to see the window flowers cut by Feng Yanyi herself.

Feng Yanyi hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the hands of the concubines are not as dexterous as sending spring and asking them in summer, and the cut window flowers are really not good-looking." ”

Hongye picked up Feng Yanyi's cut window flowers one by one and looked through them, "I think Jing Jieyu's cut is quite delicate and beautiful." ”

Zhang Dekai heard his master say this, and also flattered: "What the emperor said is very true, the window flowers cut by Jieyu Niangniang have a different flavor. ”

Hearing Zhang Dekai say this, Feng Yanyi couldn't help laughing. A person who can accompany the saint for a long time is really indispensable in his ability to observe words and expressions and flattery.

Zhang Dekai laughed out loud when he saw Feng Yanyi, and couldn't help but have a little bit of sadness in his face, "Niangniang, why are you laughing at the slave?" ”

"I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at the window grilles I cut." Feng Yanyi flatly denied it.

Hongye knew why Feng Yanyi was laughing, there was an obvious smile in his eyes, obviously he didn't believe what Feng Yanyi said to Zhang Dekai.

After staying for a long time, he remembered that Hongye should still have to deal with political affairs, so he got up and saluted and prepared to leave Qianming Palace.

Hongye nodded and replied, "Okay."

Feng Yanyi took Wen Xia to the outside of Qianming Palace.

"Yan Yi..."Hong Ye called Feng Yan Yi.

Feng Yanyi didn't know why he called herself, so she turned to look at him.

Hongye got up from the hard collapse, came to Feng Yanyi, lowered his head and looked at Feng Yanyi and said, "I didn't know that Hongyan would come to Qianming Palace. When I said to Xiao Chuzi......"

"Your Majesty, the concubines know." Feng Yanyi spoke up to stop Hongye's words.

Feng Yanyi sincerely believes that this is not Hongye's arrangement. Since he had said those things to himself that day, there was no need for him to do so. At least with Feng Yanyi's understanding of Hongye since she entered the palace, she felt that he would not arrange it like this.

Hongye didn't speak again.

Feng Yanyi waited for a long time, and then said: "If the emperor has nothing to do, the concubine will retire." ”

Feng Yanyi turned around and was about to leave, when Hongye took Feng Yanyi's hand.

"You still have Hirohiko in your heart?" Hongye asked such a sentence, and his tone was as usual, and there was no anger and sarcasm.

Feng Yanyi turned to Hongye and said slowly: "The emperor also has a second sister in his heart. ”

"I need time." Hongye said to Feng Yanyi.

"Concubines also need time." Feng Yanyi looked up at Hongye and said.

Since ancient times, there have been a few people who have been able to say that they will let go, and they can give up if they want to give up. If someone really can do it, then that person must not be so in love and happy.

Shoukang Palace

The Queen Mother smiled and said to everyone: "I called you here today to plan for you to choose a concubine for Prince Ning. ”

Feng Yanyi was shocked, and her face did not change color. I just felt that although I was in a warm palace, there was still a trace of coldness.

Concubine Shu sat on the sandalwood chair opposite Feng Yanyi, looking at Feng Yanyi with a little mockery, looking like she wanted to watch a good show.

Feng Yanyi turned her head and didn't want to look at her smug look anymore.

"King Ning has arrived." The little eunuch of Shoukang Palace preached loudly.

Everyone looked at the door looking for the source of the sound, and Hirohiko was wearing a robe embroidered with dark patterns of unicorn flowers in red blue, and a belt inlaid with blue jade was tied around his waist, and he was walking towards the palace hall from outside the door.

"The sons see the queen mother. Blessed is the Queen Mother! After Hongyan entered the palace hall, he saluted the queen mother.

The Queen Mother nodded and let Hirohiko take a seat on her lower left.

Hongyan bowed to the concubines, and everyone returned the salute.

"Today, they are all here. The mourning family thinks about asking them to help you plan the choice of a concubine. The Queen Mother said to Hirohiko.

Hongyan smiled slightly: "Mother Lao is bothered. It is up to the queen mother to decide this matter. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Hongyan dotingly, and said, "It's for you to choose a concubine, how can it all be decided by the mourning family!" ”

"The son believes in the queen mother, and the queen mother's choice must be the most suitable for the son." Hirohiko said.

"You kid." The Queen Mother said angrily.

The Queen Mother instructed Lingbo on one side: "Let all the daughters of the government come in." ”

After Lingbo answered, he went out of the palace hall and went to invite the daughters of various prefectures.

Hongyan looked in the direction where Feng Yanyi was, Feng Yanyi hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, and then moved her gaze away.

After a while, Lingbo led a group of daughters into the palace hall.

Hirohiko didn't raise his head and sat on his own.

"This one wearing a blue satin skirt is Lin Xuexian, the daughter of Lin Boyong, a scholar of Yuanhuadian University, this Zhao pink satin skirt is Zhao Yajing, the daughter of Zhao Zhenli, Shaoqing of Tailu Temple, and this one wearing a goose yellow satin skirt is Zhou Yunwei, the daughter of Zhou Shengde, the county guard of Huainan County, this ......." Lingbo introduced them one by one.

The daughters selected by the Queen Mother for Hongyan are all ladies from various mansions with innocent backgrounds and high positions in the court. and those who are good-looking and of outstanding character. In particular, Lin Boyong's daughter Lin Xuexian is beautiful and captivating, and her talent and virtue are also outstanding, and she is extremely famous in the Purple Emperor City.

"Hirohiko, is there a daughter you like more?" The Queen Mother asked.

Hongyan said to the Queen Mother: "What the son said is all up to the queen mother. ”

"This is to choose a princess for you, not for the mourning family. You ......" The Queen Mother complained about Hirohiko, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted.

"Lord Wang, there is news from the palace that the wolf dog ran out of the cage and bit the family and ran out of the palace." Zhao Fu ran in and said to Hongyan.

When Hongyan heard this, he hurriedly said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, there is an urgent matter in the house, and the sons and daughters will retire first." After speaking, without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, he and Zheng Mingji anxiously ran out of Shoukang Palace.

Hongyan was already gone, and it was useless for the Queen Mother to be angry again, so she had to sigh, leaned back on the purple wood chair, stroked her temples, and shook her head.

Lingbo took the daughters of the various provinces out of the inner hall.

The Queen Mother asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" Concubine Yun? The Queen Mother first asked Concubine Yun, who was closest to her.

Although the queen has recovered, she does not leave the palace easily, and is still waiting in Fengkun Palace to recuperate, afraid of catching the cold again. The queen is not there, and Concubine Yun is the most senior person.

Concubine Yun chuckled and said, "The concubines think that these ladies from all provinces are very good. However, the concubine likes Miss Lin Fu the most, and her appearance and talent are excellent. ”

Then Concubine Qi and Concubine Chun also said their favorite candidates. Concubine Yun, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Chun are all different.

The Queen Mother smiled and asked the last one. "Concubine Shu, what about you?" The Queen Mother asked Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "The concubines think it's all good, maybe who is better." Sister Jing, you help my sister think about it, which young lady is more suitable for Lord Ning? ”

Concubine Shu threw the question to Feng Yanyi, who had been silent.
