Feng Mingwei felt strange after hearing the news after taking a bath.
"Maybe he wants to win over us."
Murong Xiao didn't say much, picked up the clothes and handed them to her, "Hurry up and get dressed and enter the palace."
"No matter what the purpose is, I have to go when the Queen summons me."
Feng Mingwei thought about going to the palace to have a big meal and said nothing.
After you are dressed, you enter the palace.
Chao Feng Palace, the queen ordered a large table of royal meals to be prepared.
"Ahem... I'm feeling much better recently, thanks to you."
"I know that someone deliberately framed Princess Lie about my poisoning. Don't worry, I won't believe those rumors."
Queen Chen smiled politely.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The two met their eyes, bowed and sat down.
Murong Xiao has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk. Feng Mingwei is hungry and only cares about eating.
Queen Chen obviously invited them to dinner because she wanted to see them.
After eating for a long time, Feng Mingwei didn't even say a word to her.
Until you are full, put down the bowl and chopsticks.
Queen Chen couldn't help but said: "I came to you today just to thank you."
Feng Mingwei smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen. Don't worry, I will definitely cure your illness."
"It's getting late now. Without disturbing the queen's rest, let's leave first."
After eating, she left. Queen Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "I still have something to tell you. Xiao Qi, please go outside to drink tea first."
Murong Xiao nodded, stood up and went out.
Feng Mingwei touched her belly and sat down to take a sip of tea to get rid of the greasiness.
"If the Queen has something to say, just say it."
Empress Chen remained dignified and elegant at all times, treating others gently, "You have superb medical skills, do you have any fertility remedies?"
Feng Mingwei's eyes moved slightly, "Are you asking for it for Princess Qin?"
"no."
Empress Chen said simply, "I want to have another child."
"Forehead……"
Feng Mingwei's eyes widened and she looked at Queen Chen up and down, "But you are almost forty years old! This is an advanced maternal age and it is not easy to give birth."
Not so happy?
"Does that mean you have a way to give me another child?" Queen Chen said excitedly.
Feng Mingwei did not answer this question, "As long as there are no physical problems and your menstruation is normal, you can usually get pregnant again. Maybe not being able to give birth is a big problem."
"Besides, you are not in good health. It is impossible to recover in a short time."
Empress Chen didn't think so, and she refused to give up. She felt that Feng Mingwei didn't want to help her in vain.
"What if I can help your Feng family reverse the case and find evidence that your father was framed?"
Feng Mingwei's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, "Does the queen have evidence in her hand?"
I just said that I would help reverse the case and help find evidence.
This feels like bait.
She doesn’t have to ask her to reverse the case and find evidence!
There is no real benefit, so I just want to do nothing. Empress Chen is smart, but Feng Mingwei is not stupid either.
Queen Chen smiled and said, "Not now, but I can ask the Chen family to help you deal with the Shen family."
Feng Mingwei touched her chin and guessed that the Chen family was the Duke of Chen's house and could indeed compete with the Shen family in terms of power, but she had to discuss this matter with her eldest brother.
"You can go back and think about it first." Queen Chen was not in a hurry.
"Let's cure the disease first." Feng Mingwei did not agree because the queen was already old. If she were younger, she might still be able to help.
For a woman in her forties to get pregnant and give birth to a child, in ancient times when medical conditions were underdeveloped, it would be death.
Who dares to promise her something she's not sure about?
After getting on the carriage, Feng Mingwei told Murong Xiao what the queen had said, "Why do you think the queen did this? It is difficult for her to have a child at her age and body. Didn't she already adopt King Qin?"
Murong Xiao smiled and said: "Because King Qin is not her biological son, Empress Chen wanted her own son to sit in that position."
"I don't think your father has any intention of establishing a prince. What's more, even if the queen is really lucky to have a son, he is so young, can he fight against other princes who are like wolves, tigers and leopards?"
"If the King of Qin knew the Queen's thoughts, he might not respond to her and hurt the relationship between mother and son. The Queen's idea is not a wise move."
Feng Mingwei always felt that Queen Chen was smarter than Concubine Shu, but now it seems that her scheme is not big enough and she does not know how to make choices.
Murong Xiao was surprised that she could say such a thing, "Let's not talk about the Queen's actions. I want to know why you didn't agree? Promise to the Queen first and use the Chen family to reverse your father's case. This is a good opportunity."
But she actually refused. In this situation, Zhou Xuan should be the first to leave the queen behind, and she should not refuse outright.
Feng Mingwei chuckled and said, "I didn't say no straight away. If the queen doesn't give up, she will still come to me regardless of my rejection."
"Also, because I am not sure that I can meet the queen's conditions. First of all, she is old and in poor health. Whether she can get pregnant is a question. Even if she gets pregnant, I can't guarantee that she will give birth to a son."
"What if the child is not a son, and I took advantage of the Chen family first, won't the queen and the Chen family blame me for not keeping my word?"
Murong Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "You are too honest. When your goal is achieved, who will care whether you keep your word or not? The Feng family will overturn the case and return to Beijing. They will become stronger by then. The Chen family will only fawn over you, so why not?"
Blame you?"
"The queen is a queen, after all, she cannot fully represent the Chen family."
"The interests of the family come first. The queen is just a pawn of the Chen family to consolidate the family's power."
"When the queen gives birth to a daughter, they can still support King Qin? It won't have any impact. Maybe the little princess can still be favored by her father. For the Chen family, the benefits outweigh the risks, so they won't pursue it."
"It doesn't matter if the queen has a boy or a girl. She just doesn't want to give in. She wants to have a baby herself. Maybe she didn't contact the Chen family merchants. She just came to test your tone."
"in addition……"
As he spoke, he suddenly paused.
Feng Mingwei was listening carefully and thought what he said made sense, "What else?!"
"Besides, the queen probably wants to win over me and doesn't want me to support Prince An."
Although he has lost his military power now, he still has strength.
Feng Mingwei knew that he was capable, "What you said makes sense, but I don't want to cooperate with the Chen family and the King of Qin, and work with jackals, tigers and leopards. That would be using the tiger for its skin."
"If I have to find someone to cooperate with, I might as well choose you."
Murong Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Choose me?!"
"Yeah, I've always wanted to cooperate with you, but you hate me, so there's nothing I can do!" Feng Mingwei shrugged melancholy.
Murong Xiao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He changed it into words that sounded like he was choking, "Yesterday you said that I am useless."
Hey! This isn’t over yet, is it?
"Didn't I apologize to you?"
"I don't know how to make clothes, but I'll give you a small stone house as a gift!" Feng Mingwei secretly patted her thigh. Fortunately, she made a small stone house and gave it to him, otherwise she wouldn't be able to tell the lie.
Thinking of the small stone house she made by herself, Murong Xiao's lips curled up slightly, "It's ugly."
"I'll decorate it again tomorrow to make sure you're satisfied."
If you choose Murong Xiao to cooperate, you will always know the basics.
The next day, Feng Mingwei got up early to tinker with the small stone house.
Murong Xiao also got up early, but he went to practice Zama Step.
When it was time for breakfast, Feng Mingwei had decorated the house and happily brought it to him to show, "Murong Xiao, look, the cement I prepared was very successful. I have decorated this small stone house. What do you think?"
Sample?"
She painted all the gray walls pink, and originally made it the kind of golden castle house where the prince lives in the fairy tale.
I also found things to decorate it with, including grass and gardens, just like the real thing.
Feng Mingwei felt full of accomplishment and handed it to him, "This is for you, do you like it?"
