Chapter 84: A dilemma

As Concubine Xian entered the main house of the Warm Wind Pavilion, Rong Fei's eyes swept left and right and did not see the figure of Queen Tang You'er, and he not only muttered in his heart.

Didn't Xiao Shunzi say that the queen and the prince were also in the Warm Wind Pavilion, why were they nowhere to be found?

Although Concubine Xian is an old woman who has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and Rong Fei has not yet reached the crown, but the rules of the Great Inner Forbidden Land are strict, especially the defense of men and women is the top priority, and there are only two people alone in the house, if it is spread out to the royal face, it will be detrimental to the royal face.

Where did the queen and the crown prince go?

and Hou San, the chief eunuch of the Warm Wind Pavilion, also disappeared.

Something is wrong!

There was a low table on the bed in the room, which was full of all kinds of pastries and fruits and made tea, and after the two sat down opposite each other, Concubine Xian picked up a piece of pale yellow soft and glutinous pastry and handed it to Rong Fei.

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, let's eat a pastry to fill my stomach first, I've already asked the cook to prepare the wine and food."

"Thank you, Concubine Xian."

Rong Fei took the pastry and thanked him.

"Stinky boy, the last time I chatted was very calm, why am I more restrained today."

Concubine Xian pretended to be angry.

"Don't blame the concubine, I haven't slept or eaten for two days and two nights because of the investigation of the case, and my spirit is a little trance. Since you say so, then I'm not welcome to treat you as an elder in the family. ”

After that, Rong Fei laughed, stuffed the pastry into his mouth and chewed it.

"Well, it's delicious."

It is worthy of the pastry made by the palace kitchen, the entrance is soft and glutinous but not sticky to the teeth, the sweetness is just right, a piece of pastry is in the stomach, Rong Fei is even more hungry, and he flies with both hands, and keeps picking up the pastry and stuffing it into his mouth.

On the surface, I was very happy to eat, but in fact, I was still thinking about what was wrong and how to deal with it next.

"Hehehe, eat slowly, don't choke, come, drink tea smoothly."

Seeing Rong Fei's funny appearance of gobbling up, Concubine Xian's face suddenly bloomed with a smile and pushed the teacup in front of Rong Fei.

Just when I heard Rong Fei say the words 'treat you as the elder of the family', a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth also seemed meaningful.

Soon the snacks on the low table were swept away, and Rong Fei only looked at four or five points full, embarrassed to say that he was not full, so he could only suck the tea unsatisfied.

When Rong Fei was eating, Concubine Xian didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile. It wasn't until all the snacks were eaten up that he chatted with Rong Fei seemingly casually.

The harem is not allowed to participate in politics, so Concubine Xian only asked Rong Fei about his duties, but only told him to pay more attention to his body, and then asked some things about Ji Rouer. When I felt that the heat was almost over, I asked about my hometown and family.

The so-called one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.

In ancient times, great importance was attached to regional and kinship relations, so there were clans, township parties, foreign relatives and other organizations and forces.

is also for this reason, after listening to Yu Qingzhi finish talking about Emperor Yan Zhu Sheng's plan to recognize his relatives, Rong Fei felt a little child's play.

The princess who has never met, and can be deceived by just a surname and a plausible story of the past?

As for saying that Rong Feichang has similarities with Concubine Xian's sister, this is even more nonsense.

It's both a nose and two eyes, even if two people don't want to do it at all, Rong Fei can find some similarities.

Don't look at Concubine Xian always with a smile, kindness and generosity, the harem is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and it is easy for Concubine Xian to survive in this kind of place so far.

But this plan was formulated by the emperor and empress themselves, and Rong Fei did not have the courage to resist.

So on the way here, Rong Fei has been thinking about how to complete this plan without leaving loopholes.

As soon as he entered the Warm Wind Pavilion and failed to see the queen and the crown prince, Rong Fei was already suspicious. At this time, when Concubine Xian mentioned Ji Rou'er, a spiritual light flashed through her mind.

The loophole was found, and it was Ji Rouer.

The last time Concubine Xian rescued and chatted with her, Rong Fei had mentioned that she came to Kyoto with her childhood sweetheart, so it was not strange for Concubine Xian to know Ji Rouer.

After Emperor Yan Zhu Sheng and Empress Tang Youer agreed on the plan, the news inevitably leaked, so they found Yu Qingzhi and asked Yu Qingzhi to inform Rong Fei. The fewer people who know about it, the more likely it is that the plan will succeed.

But Ji Rouer was omitted in the whole plan.

For such a major event as recognizing relatives, Concubine Xian must also be cautious, and will find a way to collect more corroboration.

In this way, there is an explanation why there is no trace of the queen, the crown prince and the chief eunuch Hou San in the Warm Wind Pavilion.

The three of them are with Ji Rouer.

Thinking of this, Rong Fei suddenly had a feeling of retribution.

Isn't this trick used by Concubine Xian that she often interrogates people and criminals, interrogating them separately and then checking the confessions of both parties.

It's just that this time it was Rong Fei and Ji Rouer who became the prisoners being interrogated.

In this case, Emperor Yan asked Yu Qingzhi to send him information about Concubine Xian's hometown, and he couldn't say a word. Because Ji Rouer didn't know that information, the two of them didn't match each other at all, and Concubine Ruoxian was furious and investigated, and she couldn't get accused of bullying the king.

Zhu Sheng is the Emperor of Dayan, the Son of Heaven of Wei Guangzheng, and he will definitely not admit that this plan is from him.

Queen Tang Youer is the same.

Therefore, all the charges can only fall on Rong Fei's head, and the emperor and empress are also deceived by it.

Even if Emperor Yan will not be killed by Rong Fei in the end, this kind of loss will not be eaten.

Why don't you tell the truth to Concubine Xian?

Just say that you were instructed by the emperor and empress to deceive your old man, but don't blame them, the two of them are also for your good and so on.

In this way, Concubine Xian's side was fine, but it angered Zhu Sheng.

My seamless plan is all ruined in your hands, this is rebellion, disobedience, and its sin deserves to be punished!

It doesn't work to lie, it doesn't work to tell the truth, Rong Fei is in a dilemma.

……

In the wing room on the other side, three women and two little children sat around a round table, eating dim sum melon seeds, chatting happily, and Hou San, the confidant of Concubine Xian, personally served on the side.

Zhu Yun and Zhu Yan have been staring at Ji Rou'er curiously since they entered the house, and Ji Rou'er can only give the two little ones a smile from time to time.

Zhu Leyao was also very curious about Ji Rouer, and only felt that she had a very comfortable and reassuring feeling when she smiled.

No wonder you can be a childhood sweetheart with someone as powerful as Rong Fei.

Childhood sweethearts.,The heroes and heroines in the novels I've read before are also childhood sweethearts.,It's so enviable.。

Tang You'er was worried about the situation of Concubine Xian and Rong Fei's side, but with Hou San staring at her here, it was not easy to fool things, so she could only talk to Ji Rou'er with or without a match.

"It turns out that you and Rong Fei are both from Danzhou, what a coincidence, you two and the concubine are still fellow villagers. I used to hear the concubine talk about interesting things when she was a child, and it sounded very interesting. Why don't you tell me about the two of you when you were young? ”

"Actually... I was young, and I couldn't remember many things. When he fled, he almost died in the belly of a dog, but Rong Fei sacrificed his life to save him, and when he woke up again, he was already in Fencheng. ”

"Ahh Dead in the belly of a dog? Sister Rou'er, tell me what's going on? ”

Zhu Leyao exclaimed in surprise when she heard this, grabbed Ji Rou'er's palm and asked.

Zhu Yun and Zhu Yan also suddenly became interested, and left their seats and walked over to listen.

Growing up listening to Rong Fei's storytelling since she was a child, Ji Rouer's storytelling skills are naturally not bad, and the things she tells are still her own personal experience.

Tang You'er glanced at Hou San, and after a brief exchange of glances, he already understood what the other party meant.

Ji Rouer only met Rong Fei after the disaster in Danzhou ten years ago, so she didn't know much about Rong Fei's experience in Danzhou.

At this time, Ji Rou'er had just finished telling Rong Fei to save him from the mouth of a wild dog at the risk of death, and Zhu Leyao couldn't help but look at Ji Rou'er's palm carefully.

"The scar has been healed with Ice Muscle Dew, but now it is no longer visible. When he was in Fencheng, Rong Fei made gloves from soft lambskin, which he wore on his hands in winter and summer so as not to scare others. ”

"My sister is so pitiful!"

Zhu Leyao stroked Ji Rou'er's palm and said with tearful pity.

"There were hundreds of thousands of casualties in the disaster in Danzhou, and I was extremely lucky."

"Sister Rou'er, let's talk about what Rong Fei did when he was catching fast in Fencheng."

Zhu Yun and Zhu Yan pulled the corners of Ji Rou'er's clothes and begged.

"Okay, okay, let Rou'er rest, Le Yao, you take the two of them out to play for a while."

Tang Youer said to Zhu Leyao.

Zhu Leyao realized that Tang You'er had something to say to Ji Rou'er, so she nodded and went out with the two little ones who were indomitable. But I was wondering in my heart, what secret things would there be between the queen's sister-in-law and Ji Rou'er? And Hou San is still there, and he was not kicked out by his sister-in-law, which is really strange.

Then I thought that my sister-in-law seemed to be interested in inquiring about something related to Rong Fei just now, what was my sister-in-law going to do?

Pulling the two small ones into the courtyard and letting them play by themselves, Zhu Leyao's eyes swept over the door of the main house, and saw that the two personal attendants were standing outside the door instead of serving in the house, and her doubts were even worse.

What was the mother talking about with Rong Fei, why did she drive the chamberlain out?

The more Zhu Leyao couldn't figure it out, the more curious she felt, the more curious she became, the more she wanted to figure it out, and her thinking began to become wild.

Eighteen years old is when the girl is pregnant with spring, and after Zhu Sheng ascended the throne, Zhu Leyao's family affairs were also put on the agenda. In the past six months, Concubine Xian and Queen Tang Youer have also worked hard for this matter.

The princess of the Dayan royal family has many requirements for welcoming the concubine, such as conduct, talent, appearance, whether there are evil deeds, etc., and the most important one is that the concubine cannot come from the official house, so as to prevent the expansion of the power of foreign relatives and interference in the government affairs.

The official eunuch family already has some rights, and if there is the blessing of the title of imperial prince, the consequences are unimaginable.

Zhu Yueyao is also the heart of the emperor and the virtuous concubine, and her vision for selecting the concubine is naturally more picky, so that the selection has been for half a year but there is still no result.

But judging from the mysterious behaviors of Concubine Xian and Queen Tang Youer today, does the candidate for the concubine already have an eyebrow?

Rong Fei!

Zhu Yueyao was startled by the idea that suddenly popped up in her mind, and at the same time, her little face burned red instantly.

No, it won't! No, it won't!

It must have been overthinking.

Zhu Yueyao shook her head vigorously with her hot face, wanting to shake off this ridiculous idea.

But it backfired, Rong Fei's handsome face became clearer and clearer in Zhu Yueyao's mind, more and more real, and finally smiled at her.

"What a bastard!"

Zhu Yueyao couldn't help but scolded angrily.

"Sixth aunt, who are you scolding?"

Zhu Yun, who was playing on the side, asked strangely, while Zhu Yan looked around, but found that there was no one around Zhu Yueyao at all.

"Two little kids are asking what, and they are going to play."
