Ying Zheng patiently stayed in Xingqing Palace for a long time to maintain the plastic mother-child relationship. The Empress Dowager patiently dealt with him for a long time and listened to his chatter with a fake smile.

After half an hour, Ying Zheng finally stood up and left, and the Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief.

In the following days, Ying Zheng went to Xingqing Palace to say hello every morning after getting up. After having breakfast with the Empress Dowager, he returned to Taiji Palace to serve as director. On this occasion, he could always see Feng Lanruo and his wife.

While the maids from Xingqing Palace were cooking medicine outside, they served the Queen Mother very respectfully.

After half a month of this, when the Empress Dowager's body recovered, the Taiji Palace sent Shangshu Zuopu to shoot Dong Chang as the chief envoy, and the Minister of Rites Tang Ding as the deputy envoy. Surrounded by the etiquette officers and chamberlains, they went to Cuiwei Palace to announce the decree.

"Zhaoyi Feng family is from a well-known family in Yuxiu. She is a gentle and beautiful example, a chaste and quiet bower, and the most filial piety afterward... In line with the empress dowager's kind words, I have designated you as a concubine."

Feng Lanruo never expected that she would be conferred the title of Fourth Concubine before she went to bed, and she was also the Shu Concubine second only to the Imperial Concubine among the four concubines. She was surprised and happy at the moment. After thanking her for accepting the decree, she sincerely thanked the two envoys for the conferment.

Dong Changshi and Tang Ding said in a hurry that they didn't dare.

Another courtesy officer asked Concubine Feng Shu to change her clothes and go to Tai Chi Palace to express her gratitude to the emperor.

Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials at that time. After meeting Feng Lanruo, he put down the imperial pen in his hand and waved for her to come closer.

Feng Lanruo followed the order.

Ying Zheng said: "Do you still remember what I said before?"

Feng Lanruo was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing.

The emperor was talking about what he said to her when she came to Tai Chi Palace to deliver soup.

She nodded solemnly: "I will never forget you, and I am willing to serve your Majesty as hard as you can."

"That's not necessary."

Ying Zheng turned the ring on his hand and smiled slightly: "However, I really have something I must ask you to do now."

Feng Lanruo's heart moved slightly, and he immediately curtsied and said, "Your Majesty, please give me your permission."

Ying Zheng said: "After a concubine is promoted to the fourth concubine, according to the rules, she can summon her mother's family members."

Feng Lanruo thought of his mother at home, his eyes warmed slightly: "Yes."

Ying Zheng then said: "It just so happens that the Queen Mother is feeling better recently, so she will ask the female relatives of the Feng family to come to the palace to visit her - you can spread the word and ask your cousin to come too."

There are many children in the Feng family, but the only female family members who can hold imperial titles are Mrs. Feng and a few daughters-in-law. Currently, the other families are serving as officials outside. Apart from Mrs. Feng, the only ones left in Chang'an are Mrs. Feng Gang.

Together with Mrs. Feng Si’s two sisters-in-law.

Feng Lanruo was slightly startled when he heard this, a little confused: "What your Majesty needs me to do is..."

Ying Zheng: "Didn't you have some disagreements with your fourth brother-in-law? You said it yourself, after your aunt and your cousin found out that you could enter the palace, they said some bitter words, right?"

Feng Lanruo: "That's true."

Ying Zheng smiled and said meaningfully: "Now that you are a first-class concubine, you are proud and proud. As the saying goes, wealth does not return home, but travels at night like embroidered clothes. Isn't it a pity?"

Feng Lanruo was stunned for a while before reacting in disbelief: "Could it be that His Majesty wants me to take this concubine..."

Ying Zheng smiled and said nothing.

…

Ever since there was a commotion on the day of the court meeting and the Empress Dowager fainted in court, the atmosphere within the Feng family has become somewhat gloomy.

Mrs. Feng and Feng Mingda were deeply depressed because of the unsatisfactory progress of the plan, and they were also upset because they had misjudged the man-eating shark as a brainless choice as the late emperor's heir. Compared with them, the troubles of the four rooms of the Feng family

It has to be a little more obscure.

What are the plans at home?

Why is this thing getting weirder and weirder?!

Fourth Master Feng's current official rank is the fourth rank, and he is the young minister of Honglu Temple. Because he is a concubine, he has never been in charge of the affairs of the family and the palace. Also, because he is in a Qingshui Yamen like Honglu Temple, he is not welcome to visit.

If there are fewer incoming and outgoing messages, the news will naturally not flow smoothly.

Therefore, it was on the day of the court meeting that he suddenly realized - there is something wrong with you, eldest sister!

As an elderly widow in her sixties, eldest sister, you are not young anymore. Just enjoy the glory and wealth. Why are you digging a hole for the new emperor?

The key is that the hole was not dug very well. Xintei didn't fall into it at all, and instead he hit you with dirt on your face!

Qiaodou Sack, it doesn't matter - while you are digging a hole for the new emperor, you are sending my daughter into the palace to be the new emperor's little wife. What are your intentions?!

Isn't this just using my daughter as cannon fodder?

The new emperor can't do anything to you for a while, why should I blame my daughter?

No wonder this "good thing" was not given to the eldest brother's daughter. Isn't the reason found now?

The more Fourth Master Feng thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking that he would have to argue with his eldest brother after going to court. However, Feng Mingda was taken away by the new emperor first. When he showed up again, he would be in such a mess!

Fourth Master Feng watched with cold eyes as Feng Mingda's wishful thinking came to nothing. When he returned home, he saw that his aunt, Mrs. Feng, also had a gloomy look on her face. Instead of being angry, she was smiling instead of angry.

The goose hunter was pecked in the eye by a goose - Damn it!

After laughing, I started to worry again - what should I do with my daughter!

Fourth Master Feng planned to surrender to the new emperor as soon as possible.

Judging from the current trend of the Feng family, the direct descendants are undoubtedly on the opposite side of the new emperor. Mrs. Feng’s attitude is self-evident. The family has not been separated at this time. They regard their own family as outsiders and push them away.

The daughter of the fourth bedroom is working as cannon fodder in the palace. How can such a teammate be trusted?

In contrast, although the new emperor had a reputation for being ridiculous and mischievous in the past, today's court meeting shows that he is a dragon and a phoenix with extraordinary strategies. If he doesn't get on board now, he may not even be able to occupy a position in the future!

Fourth Master Feng made up his mind and immediately went to the study to write a memorial. He vigorously advocated the new emperor's righteous deeds in the court today and praised him as the most filial man.

The blessing of the dynasty is the fortune of the common people.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Empress Dowager has lost face in the court today, and the Feng family has suffered heavy losses. Now Fourth Master Feng, as a member of the Feng family, has taken the lead in singing praises for the new emperor. His stance is self-evident.

Fourth Master Feng also told his wife in private: "They don't regard us as a family, so why should we bother to stick to it? My daughter is already involved, and there are many things at home. No matter what, you have to succeed.

Calculate."

Mrs. Feng Si responded one by one.

Fourth Master Feng handed over the memorial, and Feng Mingda received the news - after all, he was the minister's right servant.

Feng Mingda was extremely angry and suppressed his anger. After returning home, he invited his younger brother to the study: "As the saying goes, brothers who work together can be as powerful as gold. As a descendant of the Feng family, you actually stepped on the face of your own family.

Do you still have me as your big brother and this family in your eyes?!"

Fourth Master Feng was at a loss and pretended to be dumbfounded: "Ah? Does it mean that the eldest brother thinks it is wrong for the new emperor to observe filial piety for the former emperor? Or does the eldest brother think that the former emperor chose the wrong successor?"

Feng Mingda was choked by him, his face flushed for a long time, and finally he sneered: "It seems that the fourth brother's wings have become stiff."

Fourth Master Feng said perfunctorily: "It's generally hard."

The two brothers broke up on bad terms here, and it was inevitable that Mrs. Feng would look down on Mrs. Feng in the inner house.

She is a serious mother-in-law and the biological mother of the Empress Dowager, so Mrs. Feng Si can only deal with it cautiously.

Mrs. Feng went to persuade her: "Brothers and sisters, you must give more advice to the fourth brother. If the whole family breaks the bones and connects the tendons, the fourth brother will be confused!"

Mrs. Feng Si was so persuaded by her that her new and old hatreds were compounded, and she was extremely jealous.

Back then, when my brother-in-law committed a crime in a hurry for quick success, it was Mrs. Feng who urged her husband to take the blame, saying that after hearing the news, the old lady was so worried that she fell ill. Children must not be unfilial, and it was Mrs. Feng's fault.

The old lady wanted to blame her own son, and she fell ill. How about my husband helping to take the blame?

Sister-in-law, do you want to see what you are talking about?

At that time, the situation was stronger than others, and filial piety was paramount. Mrs. Feng Si pinched her nose and endured it. In the end, her brother-in-law was fine, and her husband's future was in danger. Mrs. Feng and the eldest husband did not even fart.

!

A few days ago, he pretended to be in front of her again, saying that he would send Lan Ruo to the palace to compensate for the four bedrooms, but it turned out that the empress dowager didn't even want to take a boat with the new emperor!

You send my girl to the palace to die, and I still serve her like a slave—how cheap I am!

Mrs. Feng Si's anger instantly increased: "A whole family has broken bones and connected tendons - sister-in-law, how can you have the nerve to say this? It's not your bones that have broken feelings. You don't feel any pain, right?!"

"

Seeing that something was not going well, Mrs. Feng quickly softened her tone and said, "It's just a slang term. It makes my younger siblings so unhappy. It's all my sister-in-law's fault. Don't be angry."

Normally, Mrs. Feng Si would have given it up at this time, but now old and new grudges were accumulating. Mrs. Feng's usual warm and soft words to Xini only turned the valve on her long-suppressed valve.

Just open it.

"Sister-in-law, don't speak to me in such a soft voice, as if I am an uncultured shrew and you have been using your noble cultivation to tolerate me!"

Mrs. Feng Si was furious: "You can be calm, not because you are well-educated, nor because you have a noble character, but because the knife did not hit you!"

"The one whose future was ruined was my husband, and the one who was deceived and sent to the palace was my daughter! You are standing in front of me with a kind face now, just because you don't care, you don't care! But sister-in-law,

My brother and sister also have a message for you - you'd better pray to God and pray to God to bless you so that you will never encounter such a thing in your life! Otherwise, wait and see how I will laugh at you!"

Mrs. Feng never imagined that her always gentle younger siblings would have angry glares. She was really shocked. Mrs. Feng took several maids and walked away for a long time before she slowly recovered.

"It's really..."

She suppressed her blush, her anger rising, but she didn't want to say anything disrespectful in front of the maids. She pulled the handkerchief for a long time, and then she just said bitterly: "She is indeed the daughter of a low-level official, no?"

Disrespect the lintel!"
