No. 189, Beauty Night Comes II/

"Auntie, these snacks still have to be sent to the emperor......" Feng Dan couldn't help but stop >

The more he blocked, the more suspicious the Empress Dowager became. She took a Qibao vegetarian bun, but did not put it in her mouth, and used the tip of her chopsticks to pick open the outer layer of skin little by little, and stirred the filling inside. The seven kinds of ingredients that represent the seven treasures are distinct.

"It's indeed a veritable Qibao vegetarian bun, Miao'er has a heart." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, as if she was reminiscing about the taste of those vegetarian dishes, and suddenly raised her hand and said to Aunt Cui, "Cut the remaining Qibao vegetarian buns as well." ”

"Aunt," Feng Dan pleaded half-jokingly in front of the Empress Dowager as before, "Send it like this, will the emperor suspect that his nephew stole it?" ”

"Cut it and send it, Hong'er is more convenient to eat. Jinxin, you go directly to the Sogo Palace, and the birthday is here to talk to the mourners. The Empress Dowager still insisted, she always felt that Feng Miao was using these snacks to pass on the news, there was only a thin sheet of steamed cakes, and she couldn't hide anything, and the most suspicious thing was this plate of Qibao vegetarian buns.

According to the Empress Dowager's wishes, Aunt Cui cut the remaining eight Qibao vegetarian buns with a silver knife and divided them into four pieces. There are only fillings mixed together, and there is nothing wrong with them.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea, secretly thinking that she had indeed been too suspicious recently, and she was also suspicious of this nephew. How could Miao'er know about the conspiracy with the Rouran people, maybe she just suffered in the mountain temple and was finally willing to bow her head.

When the two dim sum were delivered to Tuobahong, his eyes only fell on the plate of steamed cakes. I can't remember what day it was, Feng Miao wore the clothes of a palace maid and slipped into the Sogo Palace while he was taking a nap. He only remembered that as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that her eyes had completed two hooks of crescent moons, and he smiled and said, "Brother Hong, please try Miao'er's dishes."

I don't know what method she used, but she was able to uncover the steamed cakes layer by layer, each slice was as thin as a cicada's wings, and the handwriting on the paper could be seen clearly through the cake noodles. This time, the marinade was added to the steamed cake, which was no longer pure white and transparent, but each slice was still thin and soft.

Tuoba Hong patiently moved his hands to separate the steamed cakes layer by layer, the pancakes were flexible and soft, and when they touched his fingertips, they reminded him of Feng Miaorou's boneless hands. When he parted the third slice, he suddenly noticed that there were sesame seeds on the pancake. He looked at the pancake against the lamp, and the lines of sesame seeds outlined the beacon tower burning with wolf smoke, representing the northern direction, and there were some crumbs of herb leaves.

He put the pancake in his mouth, but the tip of his tongue could no longer taste what it was. Feng Miaogang had just lost her child and left the palace alone, but he knew that she didn't hate him as she said herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't have put so much effort into delivering a message to remind him to be careful of the Rouran people in the north.

I don't know if her cough is better, I don't know if her asthma will attack, he can't go out of the palace to see her freely, he just hopes that she is well. He doesn't ask for gods and Buddhas, he only relies on himself, and when he clears the Great Wei court and harem one day, he will definitely welcome her back again.

Autumn is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, since Tuoba Hong ascended the throne, there have been funerals in the palace every year, and the Empress Dowager has always advocated simplicity and opposed extravagance, and the birthday festival has not been celebrated well.

This year coincided with the completion of the construction of the Empress Dowager's mausoleum, and the Rouran, Gaoche, and Tuyuhun departments in the north all came to see the Great Wei Emperor at this time. Fearing that these steppe tribes harbored evil intentions, the ministers of the court entered Pingcheng to cause rebellion in the name of Heshou Chaojian, and several people jointly submitted a letter to the Empress Dowager and the emperor, proposing that only the leaders and envoys of the various tribes should be allowed to enter Pingcheng, and let them leave the accompanying samurai at the post house on the outskirts of Pingcheng.

Tuoba Hong brought the recital to the Ming Hall, and said with a sneer, "Rouran, Gaoche, and Tuyuhun came to Pingcheng to congratulate together, which is a good opportunity to show the prestige of my Great Wei Huanghuang Tianwei." If only the leaders and envoys of the various ministries were allowed to enter the city, and not to mention the rudeness, wouldn't these people feel that I was afraid of them?! ”

The Empress Dowager was noncommittal on this matter, and for the first time in the Ming Hall, the nobles of the clan and the scholars and courtiers were so unanimous in the Ming Hall, and put on a posture of loyal ministers and dead admonitions, asking the emperor not to lead wolves into the room.

Tuoba Hong handed the watch to the inner supervisor standing beside him, and said calmly, "Actually, what are you worried about?" I won't let the chiefs and envoys in, because—I won't let any of them into the city at all. He passed down an edict and went to the Lingquan Palace north of Pingcheng to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and the envoys of all the northern tribes went to the Lingquan Palace for Hajj.

The Fangshan Yonggu Mausoleum built for the Empress Dowager happened to be near the Lingquan Palace, and the Empress Dowager proposed to go by the way to see how the mausoleum was built. In this way, the Empress Dowager and the emperor must stay in the Lingquan Palace for at least half a month, and the concubines and concubines in the palace must also accompany the relatives of the clan. The Sixth Bureau of the Inner Six was in a hurry, preparing the chariot and utensils, and arranging the accompanying attendants.

Far away in Qingyan Temple, Feng Miao had no way of knowing what was going on in the palace. Because Feng Dan had come, Huikong was originally more polite to Feng Miao. But in the next few days, there were no more well-dressed people in the city, and Huikong's face changed. When assigning work, she deliberately asked Feng Miao to sweep the 180 steps in front of the temple, but only gave her a short, bald broom. Feng Miao had an old injury on his waist and couldn't bend for a long time, so he could only squat down completely, sweep through the first level and move to the next level.

It wasn't until three days before the royal drive set off that Li Rongyu came to Qingyan Temple. She did not use the honor guard of the concubine, but only brought a personal palace maid to offer incense. Seeing Feng Miao working the stone steps, her green tweed soft sedan chair did not stop, and she directly entered the main hall of Qingyan Temple.

After the three pillars of incense were invited, Li Rongyu asked Huikong to ask Feng Miao to come out and say a few words, but Huikong refused to do so, and wanted to ask her for alms. Li Rongyu clasped his hands in his sleeves and called Huikong to come closer. Huikong only thought that she was going to give some benefits quietly, and stepped forward with a smug look.

Before she could stand firmly, Li Rongyu gave her a slap with her hand, and then casually threw a gold ingot with the palace emblem at her feet, stared at her coldly and said, "In front of the golden body of the Buddha, you dare to make such a face, I don't know what it looks like on weekdays." ”

Huikong didn't know which immortal she had offended again, so she was stunned on the spot, but the maidservant brought by Li Rongyu scolded her, "Don't go and invite someone soon", she covered half of her swollen face, moved awkwardly to the stone steps in front of the door, and invited Feng Miao in.

Huikong was about to leave in disgrace, Li Rongyu stopped her again, and said in a cold and long voice, "There seem to be some stones and leaves on the stone steps in front of the door, when I came up just now, the sedan chair was so bumpy that I was dizzy, and I will take the sedan chair down the mountain later, what do you think should I do?" ”

The stones are just fine, how can the leaves make the sedan chair bumpy, she made it clear that she wanted to teach Huikong a lesson. Huikong gritted his teeth and replied, "Poor Ni, let's pick it up...... Clean, so that when the noble person goes down the mountain, he will not be bumped again. ”

When she withdrew, Li Rongyu glanced at Feng Miao deeply, "You are just being bullied by her?" ”

She obviously misunderstood what Feng Miao meant in her heart, Feng Miao shook her head and said, "I'm not disheartened, but I'm really not in the mood to worry about her at the moment." ”

Pingcheng seems to be calm at the moment, but this calm is more like the depression and dullness of a moment before the mountain rain is coming, maybe in a blink of an eye, the heavy rain is pouring, lightning and thunder.

Feng Miao lowered her head and saw a circle of tiny flowers embroidered on the cuffs of Li Rongyu's plain white shirt. She was a little surprised, since King Shiping suffered an accident and came back from the dead, Li Rongyu refused to dress up with his heart, and his clothes were just used to cover his body.

As if seeing through the meaning in Feng Miao's gaze, Li Rongyu raised his hand and stroked the patterns on his cuffs, and said softly, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor want to visit the Lingquan Palace of Xingfang Mountain, and accept the envoys of Rouran, Gaoche, and Tuyuhun to congratulate them, and all the concubines and concubines of the rank in the palace will accompany them." Shaw...... More than a month ago, King Shiping had already gone to Fangshan to supervise the expansion of the Empress Dowager's mausoleum. ”

She didn't say any more, but Feng Miao understood everything. The relationship between the Empress Dowager and the emperor has finally come to this point, and it is necessary to tear off the disguise of the ancestors and grandsons of filial piety in the past 20 years.

All the concubines were asked to accompany them, not only to show the importance of this trip, but also to prevent anyone from leaking the news to the outside world. Routes, directions, times, any one of these elements can lead to very different results.

If Tuoba Hong's achievements fall short, King Shiping will definitely not be tolerated by the Empress Dowager, Li Rongyu has made all preparations, and will live and die with him, and will never live alone.

Feng Miao looked down at her Zen clothes, and said in a low but resolute voice, "I'm going too." Li Rongyu didn't seem to hear clearly, and looked at her fixedly. Feng Miao repeated again, "I'm going too, you help me." She didn't know if the thing in her hand would be useful, and she didn't know what she could do, she just wanted to be with Takubahiro when the rain was falling.

Li Rongyu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This idea is not good, I want to start from the palace, my father is a minister of the East Palace, and I will also go with the Empress Dowager's car." You might as well find a way from the Changli Palace, and anyone with a title will accompany you, but you only have one night. Because the prince's noble car will drive first, King Changli will set off early tomorrow morning. ”

Feng Miao's mind was blank, there were so many people in the Changli Palace, but she didn't know who she could trust and who she could rely on. She forced herself to calm down, her mind turned sharply, and she suddenly remembered someone, and asked, "How is Feng Qing in the palace recently?" ”

Li Rongyu replied calmly, "It's just like that, the Empress Dowager lifted her grounding, but the emperor didn't pay special attention to her, and occasionally summoned luck, similar to other concubines." ”

Feng Miao let out a long sigh, "Then you can help me bring a message to her, you must bring it tonight, and you must be in time before the car of Changli Wangfu leaves tomorrow morning." ”
