After a while, a woman of about forty years old walked into the palace of Qinzheng, she was very beautiful, although she was forty years old, but the woman looked very well maintained, there was no wrinkle on her fair face, and her skin was even comparable to that of a teenage girl.

Concubine Li, Xiao Zong's favorite concubine, is also Xiao Linglong's mother.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty." Concubine Li walked in front of Xiao Zong and performed a standard woman's salute that could not be more standard.

Xiao Zong smiled slightly: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be polite, let's be even." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I've seen Concubine Li." Feng Zimo bent down and saluted Concubine Li.

"By the way, let me introduce, the prince of Chu State, the general of the chariot cavalry, Feng Zimo."

"It turns out that you are Feng Zimo, I have heard Linglong and other people in the palace mention you, and when I saw you today, I really have an extraordinary bearing."

"Concubine Li's mother has won the prize."

Xiao Zong smiled undiminishedly and said, "Zimo didn't eat enough at the imperial banquet just now, Concubine Li, give some of the pastries you made to Zimo." ”

"Yes."

The accompanying palace maid immediately came over with a food box, Concubine Li opened the food box, took out two plates of osmanthus cake, one plate was put in front of Xiao Zong, and the other plate was taken by her to Feng Zimo and handed it to him by herself.

"The minister is afraid, how dare he bother the mother to deliver the food herself?" Feng Zimo hurriedly took the osmanthus cake with both hands.

Concubine Li said: "Some time ago, Linglong often went out of the palace to play with you, didn't cause you trouble?" ”

"What are you talking about? How could Her Royal Highness cause trouble? ”

Hearing Concubine Li mention Xiao Linglong, Feng Zimo couldn't help but think of what happened in the Qinzheng Hall that day, and since that day, Xiao Linglong has never come to look for him.

Seeing that Feng Zimo's expression was a little unnatural, Concubine Li smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this concubine is not here to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, the relationship needs to be consensual, this concubine still understands the truth, you and Linglong, maybe you just don't have a chance." ”

After eating the osmanthus cake given by Concubine Li, Feng Zimo made an excuse to leave the Qinzheng Palace and went home. He didn't want to be Xiao Zong and Concubine Li's light bulbs, looking at the two of them.

Just as Feng Zimo was about to walk out of the palace, a man and a woman walked towards him.

I'm really afraid of something! Feng Zimo said secretly in his heart.

He stiffened his head, took two quick steps, and said with his fists clenched: "I have seen His Royal Highness King Jiang, His Royal Highness the Princess." ”

This man and woman are none other than Xiao Ruicheng and Xiao Linglong, who are going to marry Zhao Yue.

Xiao Rui is about twenty-seven years old, tall, handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand, and the whole person gives people a feeling of warmth and jade.

"Hello General Wind." Xiao Ruicheng greeted Feng Zimo with a smile, although he had met Feng Zimo two or three times, he still had a good impression of him.

"General Wind has been gone for a long time." Xiao Linglong didn't have a trace of expression on her face, and she didn't call Brother Feng Zimo.

Xiao Ruicheng had already heard about what happened in the Qinzheng Palace that day, he showed a knowing smile, and said, "General Feng, after the imperial banquet, my father called you and Zhao Wei to the Qinzheng Palace, did he tell you something?" ”

Feng Zimo nodded and said, "Your Majesty ordered Prince Leyang to escort Princess Ningde to Zhao Wei and his relatives together with his subordinates." ”

"Is it the fifth sister who is going to make peace?" Xiao Linglong suddenly felt a little sad, her relationship with Xiao Qianxue was very good.

"I didn't expect it to be the fifth sister, so who are we who are marrying Princess Zhao Wei?"

"The lower officials want to congratulate His Royal Highness King Jiang in advance."

Xiao Ruicheng was stunned: "It won't be this king, right?" ”

"Of course."

"Fifth brother, General Feng, you talk slowly, I'll go first." Xiao Linglong left without congratulating Xiao Ruicheng, she was going to find Xiao Qianxue, after all, she didn't see one side now.

Xiao Ruicheng put his own affairs aside first, he put his arm around Feng Zimo's shoulders, pulled him aside, and said, "Linglong has been sullen lately, you tell the truth, are you really boring to her?" ”

"Your Highness, do you think that a subordinate would dare to lie in front of His Majesty? That's a crime of deception. ”

"yes. Alas! Poor Linglong, this girl. Why don't you go and persuade her? This king has no choice, he didn't laugh when he took her out to joke just now. ”

Feng Zimo hurriedly made a stop gesture and said, "Don't look for me, she is like this because of me, and you still let me persuade her, doesn't it make her even more unhappy?" ”

"That's right, it seems that only this king and Concubine Li have to think of a way."

……

Xiao Ruicheng is a self-acquaintance, and he just pulled Feng Zimo to chat for nearly half an hour. Feng Zimo finally found an opportunity to say goodbye to him and left Miyagi.

As soon as he walked into the house, Steward Meng walked over with a letter in his hand.

"Young master, the letter was sent to you just now."

"For me?"

Feng Zimo took the letter with some doubts, and it read: "Brother Zimo personally enlightened." "Five big words.

After reading this, Feng Zimo was even more puzzled, and he said to Steward Meng: "It's hard work Grandpa Meng, you go and get busy, and call me again when you have dinner." ”

"Yes."

Feng Zimo took the letter to the back garden, sat down at the stone table, and opened the envelope, which contained a fine jade bracelet in addition to a letter.

Feng Zimo put the jade bracelet and envelope aside first and opened the letter.

After just one glance, the corners of Feng Zimo's mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc, because it was no one else who wrote this letter, but Huo Qiushi, in which she wrote:

"Brother Zimo, see the letter like a face. We've been separated for a few months, I wonder if you're doing with Hitomi? Has Hitomi gained weight? I'm in the ghost guy now, and the ghost guy is much friendlier than the barbarians, and they're better to the old Jin people than the barbarians, at least I won't treat them as bad people. The roast leg of lamb in the ghost is much more delicious than that of Manqin, and the mare's milk tea is also very delicious, and I have gained several pounds during this time. After a few months in Guiqian, I was ready to go to Xishu, then Zhao Wei, then you Liang Kingdom, and finally returned to Haiao City, by then it is estimated that it will be two years later, I have already liked this feeling of being at home from all over the world, and it is good to wander the world carefree! By the way, Yun'er is almost in time, right? I deliberately picked a good jade bracelet as a gift, Brother Zimo, remember to help me transfer it to her. In fact, I had a lot of things I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know what to write when I picked up the pen, so I wrote a bunch of some of the above, I hope you have the patience to read these broken thoughts of mine. Brother Zimo, I miss you, I don't know if you miss me? - Huo Qiushi.

After reading this letter, the smile on Feng Zimo's face became even brighter, and he said to himself: "It feels good that someone is thousands of miles away and remembers himself. ”
