"Your Majesty." Yu Xijiao was startled and lowered her voice, "This is the imperial palace."
This is the imperial palace, not only the imperial palace, but also the Chunhe Palace of the Queen Mother. Zhang Wanyin was even here just now. Many of the things here may have been arranged by her.
Feng Yu looked at her quietly, then curved the corners of his handsome lips and smiled, a smile that was lively, vivid and lively.
He would smile in the past, sometimes well-behaved, sometimes not as bright as his eyes, sometimes gloomy, but never relaxed at this moment. Does this mean he is taking the initiative to care for him?
"Don't worry, Huaibao has already seen it." After laughing, Feng Yu also deliberately lowered his voice and said to Yu Xijiao's wide-open beautiful eyes.
Yu Xijiao took out a long breath, forgetting the embarrassment of her hair blowing around her ears: "Your Majesty, it's better to be more cautious."
"Then be cautious and let's talk about Princess Mingqing!" Feng Yu said with a smile.
"Princess Mingqing is the daughter of the Nanhou of Laozhen. She was the only daughter of Nanhou of Laozhen, and he loved her very much. When something happened in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Nanhou of Laozhen happened to be there, and later died in the Southern Tang. The emperor
My uncle felt sorry for the death of his loyal minister and felt sorry for the girl's loneliness, so he brought her into the palace and made her Princess Mingqing."
Feng Yu said casually.
More than ten years ago, the direct branch of the Southern Tang Dynasty was overthrown by the Shuzhi. Now the new Southern Tang royal family is in charge, and the Shuzhi regent of the old Southern Tang royal family has taken over.
Although the rebellion was far away from here, I heard that the fighting was quite fierce. At that time, the Southern Tang and the Jin royal family had stopped fighting and became brotherly states. When something happened in the Southern Tang, Da Jin sent soldiers to support it. The leader of the army
It was Zhang Qi, the Marquis of Zhennan at that time, and his territory was close to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In the last battle, the direct branch of the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and Zhang Qi also died in the rebellion. The Southern Tang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty later turned against each other, and their respective armies were on the border. After more than ten years, things have eased slightly.
Yu Xijiao knew some of these things, but she didn't know them clearly. After her eyes turned, she said thoughtfully.
"What, are you scared? Do you regret becoming the Crown Princess of Qi? There will be many such things in the future." Feng Yu smiled softly.
Yu Xijiao shook her head. When she was thinking clearly about why her mother and brother were sent to Qidi, she guessed this. She was bound to go through this whirlpool.
"It's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a bloody mess." Yu Xijiao's voice was very soft, so soft that only she could hear it.
Some doubts had taken root in her heart early. Her father's death, her grandfather's entire family had been massacred. Each of these things might involve more connections. Each of these things made her teeth tremble. She subconsciously clenched her fists and placed them on her chest.
On the knees, even if she is a woman from the inner courtyard, she can do it.
Binghan's hand was suddenly held by a big hand, and his lazy voice was a little loose and lazy: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one will bully you."
Yu Xijiao subconsciously raised her eyes and saw a handsome and graceful smiling face. She was still as careless as ever. Only in the depths of her eyes, there seemed to be a slight difference. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt anxious.
In this moment of panic, he lowered his head and moved his fist, trying to slip out of Feng Yu's hand.
Helplessly, his hand was held by him, but he had no intention of letting go.
Feng Yu suddenly laughed muffledly, first very softly, then loudly, and finally even coughing.
Yu Xijiao went from shy to embarrassed, and then anger filled her beautiful eyes. She stared at Feng Yu without saying a word. She didn't think there was anything funny about this.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Zhongshan is here." A guard reported from a distance outside the palace gate.
Yu Xijiao struggled hard, but this time it was no use to her. Her fist slipped from Feng Yu's hand: "Do you want to come together?"
"Is that okay?" Yu Xijiao calmed down her thoughts and asked.
"It's okay to be with me, of course." Feng Yu said with a smile, "You will be my prince's concubine from now on. Even if you do something outrageous, the world will only think that I asked you to do it."
"Or you can say... I have this kind of nature. I just arrived in the capital and no one noticed it for a while." Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully.
"That's right! My eldest son's eldest concubine is naturally not a good-tempered person. If you see something that doesn't go your way, just raise your hand and hit them. There is no need to save face for them." Feng Yu lazily warned as the wheelchair moved forward.
road.
"What if it's someone from the harem?" Yu Xijiao's heart moved.
"As long as we don't directly confront the Queen or the Queen Mother, it doesn't matter. If we really confront each other, it doesn't matter. If you blame me, it's just that you should contact Huaibao if you have anything to do." Feng Yu said.
He glanced sideways at the gentle-looking girl next to him, and suddenly smiled with widened eyebrows...
Huaibao, who was pushing the wheelchair, even smiled like a flower. He looked at his master, then at Yu Xijiao, wondering how he should look. When had his master ever smiled so happily?
Sure enough, the prince's concubine he chose was the one he liked the most...
The Crown Prince of Zhongshan came alone and stood beside Feng Yu dejectedly: "Brother of the clan."
"Prince Zhongshan, is everything settled?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"I want to break off the engagement." Feng Jingze, the crown prince of Zhongshan, said feebly, "What's the point of marrying a sick son who is not valued by the family?"
"What did the Queen say?" Feng Yu glanced sideways at him.
"It is said that... the physical illness can be taken care of. She used to be in excellent health. It was also because of her good health that she was selected. As for the injury on her hand, the Queen has sent someone to check it and said that it will definitely be a problem.
Give me an explanation." Feng Jingze was filled with displeasure at first sight.
Of course, no one would like this kind of thing. Fang Yulu is not, and now she is also holding the title of the fiancée of the Prince of Zhongshan. It looks like a slap in the face of the Prince of Zhongshan.
"What did the emperor say?"
"The emperor said that there will be an explanation for this matter. Let me calm down for now. If the Minister of Rites really doesn't understand the rules, the emperor will definitely take heavy responsibility."
Feng Jingze stretched out his hand and rubbed his face. He didn't want to take heavy responsibility. He just wanted to break off the engagement. Even if he found a useless fiancée, like the daughter of Xuanping Houfu, it would be better than the Fang family. He could tell at a glance that the Ministry of Etiquette
Things in Shangshu's house will not stop.
It was also a marriage, and Feng Yu chose it by himself. Whether he chose it out of anger or for some other reason, it was still his choice.
The Prince of Zhongshan's Palace is still weaker than the Prince of Qi's Palace, which makes people pick on the soft persimmons.
There was a hint of evil in his eyes. He was also a hostage who came to the capital. He had a much harder time than Feng Yu. He was afraid that the capital would notice him. He took Feng Yu as his priority in everything, but in the end he actually left such a fiancée for him.
Come here, it's rare to see him living a peaceful life in the capital...
Seeing Feng Jingze, the Queen Mother also comforted him with a few words, saying that she would definitely find out the matter and would not let Fang Yulu be wronged.
Fang Yulu entered the palace to thank her, but the incident of almost fainting followed her back to the palace. The queen sent her nanny to investigate and immediately announced her departure from the palace.
The good reputation that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had enjoyed for so many years was immediately shattered.
First, there was verification from the palace, and then there was a rebuke sent from the palace. The wife of the Minister of Rites was asked to take over the order and reprimand her directly in front of all the servants. I heard that the lady of the Minister of Rites fell to the ground crying and was heartbroken.
The Minister of Rites was running around anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
He even begged his eldest daughter to come to the palace to plead for mercy, but this girl Fang Yulu was too weak and couldn't get out of bed now.
The scars on her hands also came out. It is said that because Fang Yulu was seriously ill, the stepmother did not have time to get up to greet her, so she asked the nun next to her to beat Fang Yulu, saying that she wanted to learn the rules.
Fang Yulu was injured on her hand and weak. Before she could recover from her illness, she was kicked out by the wife of the Minister of Etiquette and asked to enter the palace to thank her. If it weren't for the third girl of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, they found that something was not right with her and invited the imperial doctor to come over.
, I am afraid that Fang Yulu will really faint in front of the Queen Mother, and it will be a crime of disrespect again.
At General Jingyuan's Mansion, Bai Qing came in a hurry and asked to see Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng met this fat and friendly businessman in the study.
"This price?" Xu Cheng looked at the price list presented by Bai Qing and was surprised.
It's not expensive, it's not difficult, and it's even much simpler than similar ones. This price is considered a mid-range price for shops in Beijing. These shops of Yu Zhuqing are all profitable now, and their locations are also good. Although
There are a few formalities, but if you really get serious about it, you'll have to work hard no matter what.
It was difficult to meet Bai Qing at first, but not only did I meet him now, he was also very generous and the price he offered was not high at all, which was beyond Xu Cheng's imagination.
"Mr. Xu, I am just a businessman. In business, I should have asked for a higher price. After all, my friends and I not only sold the shop, but also spent a lot of money on favors. But we also
As a businessman, I won't go out of my way to offend Mr. Xu. After discussing with my friend, I gave this price. I wonder what Mr. Xu wants?"
Bai Qing smiled broadly, with a somewhat flattering look on his face, but not too much.
Xu Cheng put his hand on the list: "Shopkeeper Bai seems to be related to the Ning family of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?"
"Mr. Xu is saying that they are some old relatives whom I have met before, but the Marquis Mansion in Zhengyuan must be the Marquis Mansion. Even if it is just Mrs. Pangzhi of the second room, it is not something I can see if I want to see her." Bai Qing didn't either.
Concealing it, he said calmly, "My aunt married into the Ning family. When these shops were sold, it was the people around Ning who took the lead. Otherwise, I wouldn't believe it."
Speaking of this, Bai Qing smiled bitterly and said, "If I had known so many things later, I would definitely not have sold this shop. After all, there must be... some incomplete procedures, but for Ning's sake, I have repeatedly promised not to sell it.
Whatever happened, I just...accepted it."
When Bai Qing said this, his smile became more and more bitter. The dispute in the shop was so big, even if he really won the dispute, the result might not be good.
If you are a real businessman, just seeking profit, you will never do such a life-and-death thing, unless... you are not seeking profit.
The third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion asked the maid to pass this message over, along with some banknotes.
It can be solved with money, which is the most harmless way...
"Then thank you so much, Shopkeeper Bai." Having said it all, Xu Cheng naturally wouldn't embarrass him, and even showed appreciation, smiling and bowing his hand to Bai Qing.
"Young master Xu, you're welcome." Bai Qing didn't dare to say, and hurriedly raised his hands in return.
The delivery was complete in two quick movements. In order to express his gratitude, Xu Cheng also specially gave Bai Qing a gift. Bai Qing didn't dare to follow up and walked much more cheerfully.
Being able to make good friends with the young master of General Jingyuan's Mansion is so important...
Behind the flower tree, someone looked at the scene in front of them with envy and hatred...
