Feng Lingyu instantly blushed with embarrassment, even the roots of her ears were red, and her delicate appearance made people's hearts itch.
"I own the world and lack nothing. The only thing I lack is the Queen's sincerity!"
Baili Qingchen gently bit her ear and lips, then picked her up and strode towards the palace.
The news that the emperor favored the empress alone spread like wildfire, which angered the old ministers of the previous dynasty. That morning, everyone began to give advice.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has been favored for many years and has been childless. The minister advises the Emperor to select a female from a large selection!"
Wei Qiurong was sent to the south to control floods. After completing the task, he made a great contribution. He thought he was aloof, and regardless of the emperor's face, he came out to advise.
"I second the proposal!"
"Master Wei...this statement is wrong. The reason why the Queen is childless is because the Queen doesn't want one yet. The Queen is already young and it is extremely dangerous to have children. She can be forgiven for being late a few years!"
Feng Zihan naturally didn't want others to say that her sister was infertile. It was clearly because her sister was not ready.
However, this matter may be caused by the emperor. What if it is because of the emperor's infertility? Although this idea is unreasonable, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
"General Feng, the empress is not young anymore. All empresses in the past dynasties have given birth to children at her age!"
Wei Qiurong naturally refused to give up. Wei Yuwei had been in the palace for many years and had not been welcomed by the emperor. There had been no good news recently. It was even difficult to get close to the emperor. If this continued, the Wei family would be doomed.
He must find a way to send a group of new people into the palace to win the emperor's favor. No matter how beautiful the queen is, the emperor will get tired of it one day. The new people replace the old ones. This is an unchanging principle.
"The Emperor is sympathetic to the Queen. Since the Emperor didn't say anything, why do you need to embarrass the Queen?"
"General Feng can't say that. Even if the emperor is considerate of the empress, the empress must also think about the future of the Feng Dynasty!"
"Okay, don't argue anymore. I will make a decision on this matter and withdraw from the court!"
Baili Qingchen couldn't listen to a word anymore, so she stood up and left.
"Master Wei, are you worried because you feel that your daughter is not favored in the palace?"
Feng Zihan looked at Wei Qiurong with a sarcastic face. This old guy joined forces with Wang Zhijie to kill his father. Although there is no substantial evidence proving that his father's death was related to him, this old guy definitely can't run away.
"How can the young general say that? The Queen has been immersed in the palace for so many years.
The young general has performed meritorious service, and it is understandable that the emperor would pity the queen!"
Wei Qiurong clearly meant something in his words, which meant that the emperor did not really like the empress at all, and only favored the empress because of Feng Zihan's meritorious service.
"Then Mr. Wei must behave well, otherwise Concubine Wei may not even get the emperor's favor!"
Feng Zihan didn't bother to explain this to him here. Wei Qiurong was really stupid and pitiful, thinking that the emperor was still the puppet at the mercy of the Queen Mother.
Wuji Palace
"Queen, are you not in a hurry?"
Zhao Yurou hurriedly walked around in circles, left and right, walked over and saw that the girl who was painting had no expression on her face, and asked curiously,
"Wei Qiurong will definitely ask the emperor to select girls. It's not like the queen doesn't like the queens she selects every year. It would be terrible if she likes one!"
"Why are you panicking? The draft girls are so interesting. There are new faces in the palace. The drama of competition for favors and intrigues will be staged again!"
Feng Lingyu has always lived in the palace with a guest's heart. Only in this way can she leave without leaving any traces when she needs to leave.
"The Queen seems to be looking forward to it?"
"I'm tired of it. Yu Nishang brought a large group of people she had never met before to come over this morning to say hello. It made me so noisy that my head almost exploded.
Only now do I know that it turns out that some of the ladies in this harem are not from Fengcheng, and they speak dialects from various places, making communication extremely difficult!"
Feng Lingyu didn't want to hear about those things from the previous dynasty at all. Just the harem was so frequent that it almost killed her.
They spoke dialects from various places and spoke words they didn't understand, but they couldn't be kicked out. They went back to rest when they were tired.
"Hasn't the Queen disappeared before?"
Zhao Yurou found it funny just thinking about it and tried not to laugh out loud. Feng Lingyu always liked being quiet and didn't like to be disturbed. She would definitely not be able to adapt to the sudden arrival of so many people.
"I used to be in Fengqi Palace. That was my territory. I just disappeared when I said no.
But it's different now. This is the emperor's territory. It doesn't matter what I say. I can only bite the bullet and meet them.
I took a look, and there really wasn’t any good-looking one. There are all types, each with its own merits..."
Feng Lingyu mainly wanted to see what the women in the palace looked like. With this curious thought in mind, and now that she lived in Wuji Palace, she couldn't keep them out, so she had to bite the bullet.
Reception.
Seeing the disappointed look on the Queen's face, Zhao Yurou nodded in agreement, "I have already looked at all the queens in the palace, and I can count them all on one hand.
Those empresses in the cold palace are still beautiful, even Xiao Hong and Xiao Lu are a hundred times more beautiful after washing their faces than these women in the harem now!"
What Zhao Yurou likes most is to discuss where there are beauties in the palace.
"If the emperor insists on choosing a concubine this year, then I will choose some beautiful ones!"
Feng Lingyu put down the brush in her hand and said confidently as if she was ready for battle.
"Empress, when you say this, I'm quite looking forward to it. There really should be a new group of people in the palace, otherwise I won't have any sense of freshness.
I don’t know if the emperor has read the letter of remonstrance I wrote to the emperor before. Could you please help me ask, please?”
Zhao Yurou had long been tired of staying in the palace, and now the Queen's foundation was stable. Even if she was not with the Queen, she would be able to cope with it.
"The emperor's study room is full of letters. Your letter must have been buried among the many letters. How about this, you write another one and I will bring it to the emperor later!"
Feng Lingyu said and handed her the brush and asked her to write on the spot.
"My dear, you can't give it directly to the emperor in front of him. If you give this letter directly to the emperor, then the emperor will definitely know that I wrote it. What if the emperor is unhappy and kills me?"
Zhao Yurou thought for a moment and shook her head. She had the courage to write it, but she didn't have the courage to give it to the emperor in person.
Then he came over and picked up the pen, hesitated for a moment, and then wrote down his demands.
After writing a whole article, Feng Lingyu looked at her crooked self and was really worried about her. Can the emperor recognize what she wrote?
"The Queen can secretly put this letter on the Emperor's table when the time comes!"
