But for the sake of their own interests, the princes of the clan secretly united to support this prince who did not want to be sinicized from the bottom of his heart. The two phases were deadlocked, and Tuoba Hong and the princes could only take a step back, abolish Tuoba Sui's crown prince's guard of honor and use, and only keep an empty name, allowing him to read and reflect in his study.

At the same time, Tuoba Hong issued an order to expand the ban that was originally only implemented in the palace to the entire Luoyang City. Up to the princes and nobles. Down to the common people, all Xianbei clothing and language are forbidden, and they must change to wear Hanfu and speak Chinese.

It is said that there was heavy rain on the road, and by the time it was originally scheduled, the envoys of the Southern Qi had not yet arrived in Luoyang. Tuoba Hong had his own plans in his heart, so he decreed that the banquet would still be held as usual, but the venue was changed from the Taiji Hall to Hualin Garden, and the prince of the clan and his female relatives were invited to the banquet together.

Before the palace banquet, Tuoba Hong's six bureaus rushed to make a batch of new clothes in the style of the Han family and rewarded them to the palace concubines. Feng Miao understood his intention, which was to use this palace banquet to carry out the sinicization more thoroughly. She gave Xingchuan a message in advance, and asked her to arrange a more clever little palace maid to go to Zhu Zidian to deliver clothes, and when the time came, she would say one more word - the clothes cut this time are very flattering in color and style, and they are the favorite style of singers and dancers in the Southern Dynasty.

In the Zhu Zi Palace, Feng Qing was stunned at the dress sent by the palace maid, those soft light gauze belts were still a little too frivolous and soft in her eyes, she was still used to the waist and boots of Xianbei girls, hearty and heroic, even if she wore Hanfu in the past, she would always wear cowhide boots quietly under the long skirt. Fingers stroked over the soft and cool clothes, Feng Qing's heart trembled slightly, maybe the emperor still likes a gentle and shy woman like Feng Miao. No matter how arrogant she is, at this moment she knows that the eldest brother who loves her the most has passed away, and her father has returned to Pingcheng to recuperate, if she angers the emperor again, there will be no one to cover up and plead for her.

Feng Qing called Yuye and asked her to change into the Hanfu for herself. The first time I put on the soft silk shoes, the coolness on the ground was transmitted through a thin layer of bottom, and the figure reflected in the bronze mirror was a little twisted no matter how you looked at it. The little eunuch sent by Tuoba Hong to Xuan Fengqing had already urged him several times at the door. She didn't know why the emperor suddenly announced his past at this time, but there was a little hope in her heart that even she didn't want to admit, maybe the emperor would still think of her occasionally and wanted to say a few words to her.

She tried hard to search for evidence of her affection in her past memories, but she couldn't think of anything, and vaguely remembered that before becoming the lady to be chosen, the emperor seemed to have asked her very kindly: "Cousin, I also call you Qing'er, okay?" ”

Ah, by the way, the emperor praised her name for being good, although she doesn't remember exactly what she said, but she still clearly remembers how she felt at that time, just like a cold winter night when the whole person was suddenly soaked in hot water, from the tips of her toes to the tips of her heart. Feng Qing thought with some trepidation, at least she was not useless in the emperor's heart. There is also the Feiluan Title Bead Step, obviously when he mentioned it that time, the emperor's eyes were full of shock, but I don't know what went wrong later, the most important position in Tuoba Hong's heart was still left to Feng Miao.

The little eunuch urged again in a low voice, and Feng Qingcai walked out of the Zhu Zi Hall with a little apprehension. This is the first time she has gone to Tuoba Hong's dormitory in Luoyang, and she is as nervous as a newly married girl. The little eunuch stopped at the door and lifted the beaded curtain for her.

Tuoba Hong was reading the watch at the table, Feng Qing stepped forward in small steps, kneeling on the blue brick floor, and his voice was the same as her figure, so fast that it was humble to the dust: "Concubine...... Qing'er met the emperor. ”

"Excuse me, sit down." Tuoba Hong spoke casually, never taking his eyes off the watch in his hand. Although Feng Dan has always been valued by the royal family, his funeral is not a national funeral after all, and Tuoba Hong has already selected a stable person to handle it. He called Feng Qinglai, but he wanted to ask her if she had anything to say to Feng Xi, the king of Changli, who had returned to Pingcheng.

"No, no......" Feng Qing was full of disappointment, and replied absentmindedly, suddenly feeling that it was inappropriate to say this, and added, "Please take care of your body and don't be too sad." ”

Tuoba Hong picked up his pen, sketched a few strokes on the sheet at random, and promised: "I will ask someone to tell King Changli, you go down." ”

"Yes...... The emperor ......" Feng Qing plucked up the courage to speak, missing today, she didn't know if she still had the courage to talk to Tuoba Hong again.

"What else?" Tuoba Hong had just finished reading the sheet in his hand and looked up.

"The emperor said in the past, I picked up my Feiluan Title Bead Bu Shao, that is what my mother left me, I ......" Feng Qing said the lower her voice, she actually wanted to remind Tuoba Hong that he had promised himself that he would give him back an identical Bu Shao when he got married.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Tuoba Hong stood up, took a small box from the wooden shelf next to him, took out the Feiluan Bead inside, and handed it to Feng Qing, "Since it was left by the eldest princess of Boling, I should have returned it to you earlier." "He used to keep this step shake close to him because he wanted to find the girl who left this step shake in the dark room, but now Feng Miao has been by his side for a long time, and it doesn't matter if he keeps such a thing or not.

Feng Qing was stunned to take the step shake from his hand, and she realized that the way Tuoba Hong looked at her was no different from when she looked at the watch just now. He didn't even notice that Feng Qing was wearing a different outfit than usual today.

Because Feng Dan had just passed away, Tuoba Hong was very patient with Feng Qing today, and when he saw that Feng Qing was still stunned, he asked again: "What else is going on?" ”

"Your Majesty, Qing'er's name was chosen by her father, what do you think?" She didn't know how to speak softly and movingly, so she could only ask directly.

"Very well," Tuoba Hong circled back to the table and picked up another note, "If you miss King Changli, I may allow you to visit him and stay with him for a few days in Pingcheng." ”

"No need, the concubine has retired." Feng Qing withdrew abruptly, and when he walked to the door, he glanced back with some reluctance, and saw that Tuoba Hong was picking up the jade wall that had been broken into two pieces from the table, stroking it with a soft smile, and then looking down to look at the chapter. She recognized that it was a birthday gift for the little prince in the former palace, presumably because the little prince didn't like it if it was broken, but Tuoba Hong was still reluctant to throw it away, and put it in the study and took it out from time to time to play with it.

Feng Qing looked at it and felt dazzling, turned his head and walked out quickly. She didn't know how she walked back to Zhu Zidian, and she didn't even let Yuye follow. Standing in front of the bronze mirror, she couldn't even see her face clearly, she could only see the Hanfu she was wearing.

The words of the palace maid who sent the clothes echoed in her ears again, "This is the favorite style of the singers and dancers of the Southern Dynasty." She suddenly felt funny, she was half of the noble blood of Princess Dawei, and she had to learn how to please men from the singer and dancer, she would never do such a thing again!

Feng Qing quickly took off the overcoat and long skirt and tore it hard, but the fabric in the palace was strong and dense, and it couldn't be torn off even if he pulled it several times. She hurried to find the scissors again, completely forgetting that they were gifts from the emperor, and cut them into strips of rags as if to vent. She held her head and slowly sat in the middle of the rags on the ground, her mother, Yingmei, and eldest brother were gone, and her father had also returned to Pingcheng, leaving her alone in the palace, with nothing.

She didn't know who to blame, and she thought wildly in her heart, if she could have a child, even if it was a princess who couldn't inherit the throne, would the emperor take more care of her, just like he did with Lin Lang and Gao Zhaorong in the past......

On the day of the palace banquet, Feng Miao's old style of Xianbei clothes was worn inside, and a wide Hanfu was covered outside. Her body has been emaciated, and she does not look bloated at all even when she wears two layers of clothes. Huai'er came over as if flatteringly, and said in Feng Miao's ear: "The new clothes of the mother concubine today are beautiful. He tilted his little head and thought about it, then leaned over and said, "Sister Lingshu is not as good-looking as the mother concubine, don't tell the mother concubine, otherwise she won't make cakes for Huai'er to eat." ”

Feng Miao pinched his little face and said with a smile, "You ghost spirit." Since she was bedridden because of the cane, Huai'er suddenly became much closer to her, and the child really had to be kept by her side, so that she would gradually become familiar and close.

She turned her head and confirmed with Su Wen again: "Today's breakfast in Zhu Zidian also added medicine, right?" Su Wen nodded: "The words that Miss Liangyue sent back have been added, but the queen has not had a good appetite recently, and she has only eaten half a bowl, and it is estimated that the amount of medicine is enough." ”

Feng Miao nodded lightly, the reckoning between her and Feng Qing was tonight.

Hualin Garden is a garden landscape in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, several palace rooms in the garden, separated from the palace by a wall, Tuoba Hong also called this place Hualin Annex.

Almost all the people who should have come have already arrived, even Tuoba Hong has taken his seat, but the queen has still not arrived. Tuoba Hong was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to show it, so he only asked the little eunuch to go to Zhu Zidian to urge.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, and the dishes were ready, Tuoba Hong suddenly said: "Today is a family banquet, everyone is free." However, just drinking alcohol is inevitably tasteless, and the scenery here is just right, so it is better to have a drink order to add to the fun. ”

Tuoba Hong has always been diligent in government affairs, and after the death of the Empress Dowager, he did not drink a banquet for three years, and there was nothing in the palace to prepare for the wine order. He told the eunuch who served with him to pick a flower, played with it in his hand, and said, "From the beginning of me, whoever throws this flower to the table, he will guess a riddle or compose a poem, and if he can't say it, he will be punished with three glasses of wine, and if he says it, he will drink only one cup, and then throw it to the next family." ”

He held the flower in his palm, thought for a while, and said, "Three or three horizontal, two or two vertical, who can distinguish the golden bell." ”
