The queen's face darkened: "Come, come and see what's going on?"
"Queen, there is no need to check, I am a minister." The sound of the wheelchair came slowly from the door, and Feng Yu's voice had already come in first.
Several palace people retreated tremblingly.
The queen frowned, why did Feng Yu come here at this time?
The wheelchair moved forward and reached the queen. Feng Yu raised his hands to the queen above him and said, "Queen, please forgive me for coming here in such a hurry."
The queen pursed her lips, and then said gently: "Anyone who can forgive me or not is a member of my family. There is no need to be so polite. Why did Prince Qi come to this palace?"
The palace man who was kicked to the ground didn't dare to cry out in pain, and climbed up cautiously, for fear of hurting this man's eyes again.
"I heard that Miss Yu came to the palace to express her gratitude. I was waiting at the Imperial Grandmother's place. I couldn't wait for you to come. I didn't expect that I would be kneeling at the Queen Mother's place."
Feng Yu said with a non-smiling smile, his handsome eyes perverse and gloomy.
The queen's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she gently ordered: "Someone, help Miss Yu up."
The two palace ladies came over and wanted to help Yu Xijiao up first.
"Wait a minute." Feng Yu suddenly said.
"Prince Qi, what do you mean?" The smile on the queen's face slowly faded.
"I would like to ask the queen what she means. Why is Miss Fang sitting and talking, while Miss Yu is kneeling and talking?" Feng Yu glanced sideways at Yu Xijiao and asked with a smile.
The Queen smiled and said, "It's all my fault. I first took care of Miss Fang who is seriously ill, but I forgot about Miss Yu."
Fang Yulu was weak, and standing there, she could tell that the situation was not good.
Yu Xijiao knelt down quietly, her eyes only focusing on the one-third of an inch in front of her. It was really not easy to be the Crown Princess of Qi. She was criticized on her first day.
However, she had expected this a long time ago, and now she was watching all this calmly, not feeling surprised or angry.
"What the Empress said is that Miss Fang is of high status, and Miss Yu is nothing. It would be a trivial matter if she fainted on her knees here."
Feng Yu laughed and said with a scornful expression.
The queen's face darkened, but she did not have an attack: "I am wrong, I thought Miss Yu San's health is good. If Miss Yu San's health is not good, why don't we also ask the imperial doctor to take a look?"
"That's the best." Feng Yu said carelessly.
Yu Xijiao was finally helped up, she bowed to the queen respectfully, and then she was helped to sit on a chair aside.
The two concubines have been like quails for a long time. No one dared to say a word. Before the prince of Qi came, they could use this matter to please the empress. But now that the prince of Qi has come, if they say more, they will
They may have offended Prince Qi. Their natal family is not the queen's natal family, so they cannot withstand Prince Qi's anger.
The doctor was next door and he called over to treat the two girls.
Yu Xijiao's body was fine, so she naturally refused to steal Fang Yulu's limelight, so she treated Fang Yulu's spine first.
Fang Yulu's condition didn't look good. She started coughing violently and fell back weakly. Fortunately, a palace maid was caressing her. After checking her pulse, the imperial doctor shook his head. Miss Fang's body was really too weak.
Worse.
"How is Miss Fang's health?" Seeing the imperial doctor placing Fang Yuyan's pulse, the Queen Mother asked.
"I would like to report to the Empress, Miss Fang's health is very poor, and she was just trying to hold on. In fact, she is not suitable for labor. It is better to rest more."
The Way of Imperial Physician.
"Miss Fang, you don't have to rush into the palace to express gratitude at this time." The Empress sighed and asked softly, "Are you going to express gratitude to the Queen Mother now?"
"Your Majesty, I am fine with you. I can still support you." Fang Yulu said hoarsely after coughing.
"Are you going now?" The queen did not dare to leave her.
"Go now." Fang Yulu said, forcing herself to stand up, but she couldn't stand for a while and fell back. Fortunately, the maid next to her reacted quickly and hurriedly reached out to support her.
"You're like this...I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the Queen Mother. Why don't you leave the palace first and thank you later." The queen said with concern.
"My maid..." Fang Yulu persisted first.
"Miss Fang, you don't have to worry. We just met Prince Zhongshan on the road. He should be here soon. Just wait for him here and he will take you to thank him." Feng Yu said lazily.
"My daughter dare not." Fang Yulu lowered her head.
"Why don't you dare? He should have led you into the palace to thank you." Feng Yu said disapprovingly.
While they were talking, a chamberlain hurried in and reported: "The Queen, the Crown Prince of Zhongshan wishes to see you."
The queen sighed in her heart, but her face didn't show it, and she said slowly: "Xiang him to come in."
Prince Zhongshan came in sweating profusely and bowed to the queen.
"No gifts." The queen said with a solemn smile.
The Prince of Zhongshan stood up straight and looked at Feng Yu: "Brother Yu is walking too fast, why don't you wait for me?"
"I heard that the two girls came to the palace to express their gratitude. How can we be late? This lateness...maybe...something will happen." Feng Yu said with a smile on his lips.
Prince Zhongshan wiped the sweat from his head: "Brother Yu is absolutely right."
He glanced at Yu Xijiao, paused, and then looked at the frail Fang Yulu. He was stunned: "Empress, is this Miss Fang, the daughter of the Minister of Rites?"
"Exactly." The queen smiled.
The Crown Prince of Zhongshan looked Fang Yulu up and down. Fang Yulu's face became paler and paler. The hand holding the palace maid trembled slightly, and then she hurriedly paused.
The Crown Prince of Zhongshan looked at Fang Yulu, then at Yu Xijiao, then suddenly lifted up his robe and fell to his knees with a plop: "I...ask the Queen to make the decision."
"Prince Zhongshan, get up quickly." The queen said hurriedly.
A chamberlain came over to help Feng Jingze, but he glared fiercely at him. The chamberlain took a step back in fright: "The Queen, I beg the Queen to take back my life."
"Wha...what?" The Queen's face changed in shock, "Why did the Crown Prince say this?"
Fang Yulu was on the verge of collapse.
"Empress, I am a man who has a wife, right?" Prince Zhongshan covered his face and started crying when he heard the voice. Feng Yu looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, and leisurely raised his head on his elbows to watch the excitement.
"The Prince of Zhongshan will naturally marry a wife." The queen did not understand what he meant.
"Since it is a wife, it is a great thing, but look at... her... can she marry well like this? Queen, I ask you to take back your order and give another noble girl with good health to get married.
." Feng Jingze sobbed. He couldn't see his face, and he looked very sad.
Fang Yulu almost fainted. Although she was unwilling to marry the King of Zhongshan, she could only accept her fate now. If the marriage was really granted and then broken off, she would have no choice but to live in the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life.
After entering the palace, she originally had the upper hand, how could she... become like this?
The queen finally understood the meaning of Feng Jingze's words, and her face darkened: "The prince dislikes Miss Fang's poor health?"
"It's not a dislike, it's a fact. Several brothers got engaged together. Why did Duduwei Chen marry such a sick and young princess? Could it be that... I only deserve this?" Feng Jingze wiped his face.
There were tears that didn't exist in the first place, and the red eyes looked full of grief and anger.
The marriage of the vassal prince is always the most sensitive. This time, by using the two princes to get married, they also made a marriage contract for the two. This matter can only be good for the royal family. If any resentment arises, it does not belong to the Zhongshan King's family.
After thinking about this, the queen looked more dignified and decent.
"Prince Zhongshan misunderstood. Miss Fang's health was originally good. It's just that the weather has been bad recently and she caught wind and cold, so she got better. It will take some time to recover."
The queen spoke to comfort her.
"Is he healed now?" Feng Jingze looked suspiciously at Fang Yulu, who seemed to fall down with the wind.
"Of course it's already healed. The imperial physician has just seen her." The queen nodded and called the imperial physician who had not yet left.
The imperial doctor came forward to report, and of course he said all good things. Fang Yulu's health was already in good condition. She looked weak now, but in fact it was nothing serious. She just needed to rest for a while.
"Since the Empress said it's okay, and I believe it, then I still accept this marriage." Feng Jingze, who was very knowledgeable about affairs, wiped the unmarked eye marks from the corners of his eyes and stood up simply.
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid that the Crown Prince of Zhongshan would follow the Prince of Qi's example and come to her place to cause trouble. She said with a smile: "Since the Crown Prince of Qi and the Crown Prince of Zhongshan are here, let's take the two girls with them.
If you go to the Queen Mother's Palace to express your gratitude, I won't be able to pass by!"
Now she just wants to send these two people away.
Feng Yu didn't cause any trouble this time. He actually smiled and saluted the queen, then turned around and left first. Yu Xijiao followed Fang Yulu and walked out.
After walking a few steps, Fang Yulu stopped and said, "Miss Yu."
"Miss Fang." Yu Xijiao came forward.
"Let's go together." Fang Yulu said softly, reaching out to take Yu Xijiao along with her.
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and stepped aside: "Miss Fang, please go first."
Looking at the direction they were leaving, the Queen's brows furrowed.
The two palace concubines stood up and left knowingly. The scene just now seemed like nothing, and they even thought it was a farce. However, after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was not necessarily the case.
They want to please the Queen, but they don't dare to offend Prince Qi. This person is not a person who knows etiquette. Who knows what trouble will happen next. It seems that in the future, Miss Yu's affairs should be less involved.
They get along well. I have long heard that Miss Yu was the one that Prince Qi wanted to marry. She really looks like...
The two concubines left, several palace maids, and the chamberlain also withdrew, leaving only one confidant nun in the hall. The gauze curtain was lightly lifted, and a woman with an extraordinary appearance walked out slowly and sat on the chair next to the queen.
Next, her beautiful face showed some thoughtfulness, she raised her eyes and looked outside the palace door, and then asked: "Queen Mother, what do you think?"
