Uncle Feng Guo wanted to send her out, but Yun Zishu raised her hand to stop her: "It's too hot. Uncle Guo and the old lady stay in the house to rest. I can go back by myself."
Uncle Feng then ordered Feng Ci to send Yun Zishu outside the door.
After Yun Zishu left, Lao Guojiu and Feng Shoufu, father and son, returned to the study and did not come out for half a day: "What do you think, Father, of the Princess?"
"He has a great heart, a strategy, and a courage, but it's a pity that he is born as a girl." Uncle Feng said with a little regret on his face, "Otherwise, I would have become a wise king."
"Father, this is wrong." Feng Shoufu smiled faintly, "If the princess had been a boy, I'm afraid she wouldn't be alive now."
When Uncle Feng heard this, he was suddenly shuddered.
Yes, they knew very well why there was no eldest son back then.
Yun Zishu was born as a girl, but the emperor was disgusted with her and wanted to kill her in a way that no one knew. If she was born as a boy, how could she survive until now?
Uncle Feng Guo was silent for a moment, and his eyebrows were filled with frost: "It is too difficult for a woman to take this path. Whether she will succeed in the end is even more unpredictable."
"Just because she is a daughter, it is easier to plan." Feng Shoufu shook his head again and refuted his father's remarks with respectful words, "No princess has thought about that position since ancient times, so the princes and ministers will never
Expecting that the princess would have such a bold idea, he would not be wary of her. Even if the emperor hates the princess, he only hates the blood flowing in her body, and will not be aware of her thoughts, and then he will become defensive, suspicious, and even murderous.
.”
The three words "daughter body" are both obstacles and conveniences on the road to fighting for wealth. Before success, it is the best protection. As for the future...it will be natural when you get to the bridge. The method is figured out by people.
Uncle Feng Guo sat in a large chair, frowning and saying nothing.
He knew that what the eldest son said made sense. After all, he was the chief minister of the cabinet. He was thoughtful and considerate, much better than him, an old man who only knew how to lead troops and fight.
"Chongyuan." Looking up at his eldest son, Uncle Feng asked calmly, "Do you think the princess can become a princess?"
"There's nothing that can't be done." Feng Shoufu smiled, "Routines are meant to be broken. Although no one has done it before, it doesn't mean that no one has done it. However, because of the secular prejudice and ancestral system, the last step is inevitable.
It will be difficult, so it requires an invincible willpower and tough enough skills to break through the obstacles and force everyone to shut up."
Speaking of this, Chief Feng said: "We have no other choice. Whether we want to keep the Feng family or atone for the sin of confusing the bloodline, the Feng family can only spare no effort to help her."
Uncle Feng sighed deeply: "Yes, the Feng family has no other choice."
I once did something wrong, which left a thorn in my heart for decades. I still feel pain when I think about it from time to time.
If it weren't for the deep foundation of the Feng family that prevented the emperor from taking any rash action, he might have found a reason to deal with the Feng family as early as the year he knew the truth.
"The city of the merchant's home is unfathomable. The emperor has the blood of the Ji family and has inherited the Ji family's scheming qualities. This is worthy of admiration." Uncle Feng Laoguo smiled faintly, "Throw out Concubine Wu and the prince.
As a bait, he secretly cultivated King Jing quietly. Given time, King Jing successfully won over the important ministers in the court, and with the huge financial support of the Gu family, Jingji Guards and the Xie family, the position of the crown prince will be rock solid and unshakable.
.”
"A hundred years after the emperor's death, those who knew the truth may no longer be here. King Jing ascends the throne and takes charge of the power of life and death. The first person he has to deal with is the Feng family." Chief Feng nodded and continued, "Your Majesty, this is the end of the world.
The chess move was very subtle, and he quietly manipulated Concubine Wu and the prince's party into the palm of his hand. However, no one is perfect, and the emperor also has shortcomings."
The most fatal flaw of the emperor is that he cannot tolerate the existence of Yun Zishu, a daughter. In this regard, his vision is indeed too short-sighted.
The Queen Mother is here and Uncle Feng Guo is here. Even if he gets rid of this daughter, he still can't erase the hidden truth. As long as he is more broad-minded and patient and doesn't rush to get rid of the daughter left by the Queen, he won't be able to erase the hidden truth.
Maybe the layout was disrupted so eagerly, and the Xiao family couldn't be destroyed so quickly.
"It's good to have flaws." Old Uncle Feng smiled, with a hint of sarcasm, "If the Emperor had no flaws, the Feng family would be in bad luck."
Feng Shoufu said yes, yes, if a monarch has no shortcomings, then as a minister - especially a minister the emperor wants to get rid of - he will suffer.
So the Feng family has no choice this time.
…
After getting on the carriage and returning to the Princess Mansion, Yun Zishu was speechless all the way. It wasn't until she got off the carriage that she saw another luxurious carriage parked outside the gate of the Princess Mansion.
Butler Cheng led people to welcome him out and respectfully reported: "Your Highness, Princess Jinning is here."
Princess Jinning?
Yun Zishu said calmly: "When did you come?"
"Not long after Your Highness left, the eldest princess arrived. The old slave told her that His Highness was not here, but the eldest princess insisted on waiting here." Butler Cheng explained, "The old slave did not dare to refuse forcefully, so I had to let the eldest princess Jinning be taken away.
Take her to the Flower Hall for tea."
The flower hall is cooler and far away from Qifeng Palace, so it is the most suitable place to rest and drink tea.
Yun Zishu hummed lightly and walked into the door.
Princess Jinning has a distinguished status and said that she insisted on staying, so Butler Cheng naturally did not dare to be too tough.
But Yun Zishu had nothing to say, didn’t he just want to see her?
"Sicang." Yun Zishu tilted her head, "Who do you think Princess Jinning is here for?"
"Prince."
Yun Zishu agreed with his judgment, "I have always wondered why the eldest princess Jinning is so interested in the prince?"
Logically speaking, Prince Consort Xu would not be involved in party strife. Wouldn't it be wrong for her, the eldest princess, to enjoy her wealth and splendor in peace and contentment? Why does she have to get involved with Concubine Wu?
Sicang said: "Everyone is biased and blindly confident."
Princess Jinning used to side with Concubine Wu and Prince Yun Chen because Concubine Wu favored her and because of her nepotistic relationship with the Xiao family. Now the Xiao family has been raided and imprisoned, something happened to the crown prince again, and Princess Jinning’s son married
Xiao Yunwu is equivalent to bringing back a burden - although this burden was married long ago, after the Xiao family was destroyed, Xiao Yunwu was a useless chess piece for the eldest princess's house.
The path she chose was her own, and it was not easy to establish a clear relationship with the prince all of a sudden.
Yun Zishu no longer dwelled on this issue, returned to Qifeng Palace, changed into loose single clothes, and headed to the flower hall with Leng Yue and Leng Shuang.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu ordered, "I'm going to talk to Princess Jinning. You go and find out what happened to the two people who were ordered to come here this morning."
