"Princess, the Zhou family came to pick up the young prince. They said that the emperor has given permission for the young prince to be taught by Old Master Zhou himself."
Feng Mingwei took little Anzi into the house and put him on the bed to let him sleep for a while.
It didn't take long for people from the Zhou family to come.
Murong Xiao said: "Old Master Zhou knew that Third Brother asked Lin'er to steal the plaster."
"He went to the palace to argue with his father. Lin'er is now four years old. It is the time when she is about to study and gain enlightenment. It is most appropriate to hand it over to Mrs. Zhou."
Feng Mingwei understood what he meant.
Just let the Zhou family pick him up.
Feng Mingwei smiled and said: "Xiao Anzi is asleep now. Wait until he wakes up before sending him to the Zhou family."
If it's not her child, she won't hold on to it.
Murong Xiao thought about Xiao Anzi's temper. If he woke up and found that he was not in Prince Lie's Mansion and could not see Feng Mingwei, he would probably burst into tears again, so he did not object.
"This is Mrs. Zhou, I have to go out and say hello."
I saw her sitting on the rocking chair, ready to close her eyes and take a nap.
Murong Xiao couldn't help but remind him.
Mrs. Zhou is a female dependent, and there is a princess in Prince Lie's palace. It is not appropriate for him to go out to greet her.
At this time, Feng Mingwei has to step forward.
Feng Mingwei stood up from her chair a little disgusted with the trouble, "Isn't there some purpose for the Zhou family's trip?!"
Murong Xiao smiled and said: "I heard that Shen Jing went to the palace to admit his daughter's mistake, and suggested that my father marry the third brother to a virtuous and virtuous concubine to take care of the family and save his worries."
Doing this will end Shen Qiuyue's idea of returning to the princess, and invisibly give her a punishment.
If King An marries a princess again, she will only be a concubine for the rest of her life, and there will be no chance for her to turn around again.
"He wouldn't want to stuff the family's concubine Chen Qiuxiang into Prince An's mansion, would he?" Feng Mingwei couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Shen Jing must be slapping King An in the face!
A concubine still wants to be the royal concubine of Prince An?
If Shen Qiuxiang is really a virtuous and virtuous woman, then there is nothing to say.
But for the daughter raised by his Shen family, would another daughter be virtuous and virtuous?
Murong Xiao laughed and said: "It is completely absurd for a legitimate daughter to be a side concubine and a concubine to be the main concubine."
"Father will not be so confused."
"It should be someone else chosen by Shen Jing."
"It's just that, in the end, he failed to do so."
Feng Mingwei smiled and said, "Have you cut off the Zhou family's beard?"
Murong Xiao's eyes were filled with surprise, and he felt that women were really smart, "Yes, Mrs. Zhou would not go into the palace to argue with the father for no reason. Lin'er had suffered so many grievances in the palace before, and the third brother even beat Zhou to death.
Old Mrs. Zhou tolerated the nanny sent by her family and never stood up to make decisions for her grandson."
"But this time he happened to enter the palace. He must have gotten the news and knew that Shen Jing was going to Prince An's Mansion to continue embedding people."
"If this continues, the third brother will really be controlled by Shen Jing, and then there will be nothing to do with their Zhou family."
"The Zhou family has been waiting and watching, and has not clearly stood up to support the third brother. Now it seems that the Zhou family has made a choice."
Feng Mingwei frowned, "It's not me, why do you think Prince An is the material to be the prince or emperor?!"
Shen Jing supported King An for the obvious purpose of wanting a puppet emperor and following the wishes of Emperor Beiwu. Their purpose was to curry favor with the emperor while seeking more rights for themselves in the future.
But the Zhou family was the Tutor, the emperor's teacher, and had a very important position in the court.
You can't be so blind if you don't know how to see people!
Could it be that the Zhou family also wants a puppet emperor to become a powerful minister in the future?!
Murong Xiao smiled and said, "The Zhou family didn't have a choice. His father forced him to choose."
"Back then, when I chose the princess for my third brother, I directly selected the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family. The eldest lady of the Zhou family is gentle, virtuous, well-read in poetry and books, and has excellent character. She is the perfect choice for the crown princess."
"For such an outstanding granddaughter, Mrs. Zhou naturally does not agree with her marrying the third brother."
"But my father's imperial decree will not allow the Zhou family to resist it."
Even though the legitimate daughter of the Zhou family married Prince An, Mrs. Zhou did not clearly choose to support Prince An.
This made Emperor Beiwu very angry, so he gradually neglected the Zhou family and favored the Shen family who had always obeyed him.
The Shen family would also have the opportunity to remain dominant, rise all the way up, be granted the title of marquis, become the prime minister, and become the emperor's favorite ministers.
No matter what the Shen family does now, Emperor Beiwu will protect them and will not really punish them.
The Zhou family had been left out for many years, and seeing their status in jeopardy, they finally couldn't sit still. For the sake of the family's interests, the Zhou family had no choice but to obey Emperor Beiwu's wishes and start supporting Prince An.
Feng Mingwei smiled, "Then this Shen Jing is quite capable, just like He Shen, but in the end he also ended up miserable!"
You are the fisherman and I am the fish.
I'm afraid Shen Jing knows this truth!
Emperor Beiwu was indeed a cunning and cunning man. He had the chess pieces in hand and was strategizing. All the affairs of the court were under his control.
Murong Xiao was a little confused, "Who is He Shen?!"
Are there such people in Northern Qi?
"I'm going to meet Mrs. Zhou." Feng Mingwei didn't answer him, got up and left the bedroom.
In the front hall, Mrs. Zhou is sitting drinking tea.
She was wearing a dark red dress, her hair was in a bun with gold ingots, and simple jewelry, making her look dignified without losing her identity.
Feng Mingwei secretly observed behind the screen and found that Mrs. Zhou was quite upright, with a full forehead, round face, slightly chubby figure, fair skin, upright eyes, a smile on her lips, and a kind expression. She looks like a blessed noble lady.
"The young prince just fell asleep and kept Mrs. Zhou waiting for a long time."
After observing for a moment, Feng Mingwei stepped out.
Mrs. Zhou stood up, bowed slightly and saluted, "I have met Princess Lie."
"Mrs. Zhou, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat." Feng Mingwei greeted her politely and ordered tea to be served again.
Mr. Zhou secretly observed Feng Mingwei, and after exchanging a few words, he got down to business, "Thanks to the princess for taking care of me these days, the prince likes the princess so much that I am afraid she will come to bother her from time to time. "
The implication is that the Zhou family will follow and travel to Prince Lie's Mansion.
Is this a test?!
Feng Mingwei smiled secretly and said, "It doesn't matter, Xiao Anzi likes the garden of Prince Lie's Mansion, and you can come and play in it at any time."
Seeing that Feng Mingwei had no intention of rejecting the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou continued with a smile and said: "Actually, besides picking up the young prince, I also have something to ask for when I come to the palace this time."
"Oh? What else does Mrs. Zhou have to do?" Feng Mingwei lowered her eyes, held the tea cup on her fingertips, and took a slow sip of tea before raising her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou in surprise.
Mrs. Zhou showed a secretive look, "The princess doesn't know something. The reason why the emperor agreed to send the young prince to the Zhou family to be raised this time is because my father quickly agreed to a condition of the Shen family in the imperial study room."
Feng Mingwei's eyes darkened slightly, her expression unchanged, "What are the conditions?"
Mrs. Zhou carefully observed that Feng Mingwei was not displeased, and then said: "When my father went to the emperor to argue with the young prince, Mr. Shen was in the imperial study. At that time, when he heard that his father was going to take the young prince back to the Zhou family, he agree."
"You also know how vicious the daughter of the Shen family is. She wanted to murder the young prince as soon as she entered Prince An's palace."
"My father dared not speak out because of the power of the Shen family."
"Later, she intensified her efforts and instigated King An to encourage the young prince to commit theft."
Speaking of this, Feng Mingwei felt dissatisfied, "I hope Mrs. Zhou will not mention the word stealing in front of Xiao Anzi in the future. He just made a small mistake accidentally. The child is still young and has a fragile heart. It will be hurt if an adult says this." His self-esteem may affect his life."
The Zhou family came from a scholarly family, and she thought they were well educated.
But I feel that this kind-looking lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
I am afraid that I came to the palace this time not for Xiao Anzi, but for the benefit of their Zhou family.
Mrs. Zhou's expression froze slightly, she quickly changed her words, smiled and said: "What the princess said is that we will never mention this matter in front of the young prince."
Feng Mingwei responded calmly, "Yeah."
Mrs. Zhou went on to say, "The two argued for a long time in the imperial study. Finally, Lord Shen proposed that as long as our Zhou family persuades you to treat Concubine Shen's face, we will agree that the young prince will be raised by the Zhou family."
Feng Mingwei couldn't help but sneer, and without saying a word, she stood up and issued an eviction order, "Mrs. Zhou, please come back!!"
