The Prince of Chu's Mansion also welcomed King Yan Fenglei today.
It is not news that the King of Chu was injured in an assassination. I heard that the King of Chu was seriously injured, but no one has seen the exact location of the injury. It is only said that the doctors in the mansion are doing their best to treat the disease.
When Feng Juelei came, Feng Juexuan was lying on the open space in front of the yard basking in the sun. Except for his face, which looked pale and bleeding, he was in good condition, except that he was not in good spirits. The brocade quilt was soft and long. Two marble floor-to-ceiling screens were placed in the right direction of the wind, and the sunlight lazily shone down, making Feng Juexuan's gloomy eyes a little more lively.
He stretched out his left hand, lifted the kettle at hand with some difficulty, and poured a glass for Feng Juelei himself. The veins on the back of the hand covered by the sleeves of the robe were bulging, and the hand was so soft that he could hardly hold it. There was a faint pain in the injured area, but there was a leisurely look on his face. With a smile, he put down the kettle, happily pushed the tea to Feng Juelei's hand, and said with a smile: "Third brother, why do you have time to come to my place today?"
At the same time, he told the little eunuch beside him: "Go, bring that armchair over to His Highness King Yan."
The little eunuch hurriedly brought out a large golden nanmu armchair, and even put a soft cushion on it.
"Brother, I don't know how injured my eldest brother is. My father, emperor and mother are worried, so they asked me to come and have a look." Feng Juelei saluted, smiled and sat down on the side, took the tea handed by Feng Juexuan, and took a sip. , and praised each other: "The tea here is better, the new ones at my place don't taste as good as the ones here."
Feng Juelei said, raising the cup in his hand, looking at the color of the tea, and praising it even more.
"When you leave later, pack some back. It will save you from always saying that my Prince Chu's Mansion is better than your Prince Yan's Mansion, why the same tea tastes two different things. I have to go to your place next time to have a look. , let’s see what good things are hidden.” After Feng Juexuan finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Juelei with a half-smile, and smiled casually.
"That must be someone from Big Brother's place. He is responsible for taking care of the tea leaves. I really didn't have anything good at that time that Big Brother would like." Feng Juelei said jokingly, then put down the tea cup and said with concern: "Brother is hurt. What's going on, my father is really worried, should he ask the palace doctor to come and take a look?"
Feng Jue If it’s not convenient for you to move, please explain it to me in front of my father.”
"It's natural. Brother is studying the chess game alone?" Feng Juelei's eyes fell on the white jade chess table in front of Feng Juexuan and he chatted.
"A person is bored and playing chess with his left and right hands is just for his own entertainment. It's really not an elegant place." Feng Juexuan sighed with emotion as he played chess with his left and right hands.
"Eldest brother's chess path is getting wider and wider. Look at this chess move. He is much better than his younger brother." Feng Juelei said as he raised a chess piece and dropped it. The chess piece happened to land in the middle. What a coincidence. He cleverly blocked his combined encirclement, and this game of chess was a matter of life and death.
"The third brother also said that his chess is not good. I can't take this move anymore." Feng Juexuan picked up a chess piece and hesitated for a few times. Instead of putting it directly on the chess piece, he knocked it on the original chess surface. After a few clicks, he looked undecided.
"When it comes to chess, I'm really not good at it. Among our brothers, Jue Zhen is the best at chess. The eldest brother wins because the chess path is wide. I have some surprises. Needless to say, the eighth brother, I will stab the whole east. A knife stroke to the west, there is no clue, the whole thing is nonsense, only Jue Zhen, between opening and closing, has the most elegant demeanor, he is the best among us, even his grandmother has always praised him." Feng Juelei lowered his head and picked up the hand. He took a sip from the teacup and said casually while still looking at the chessboard.
"No matter how much Juezhen can do, he is not here now. After so many years away, my father once said that he would come back when he gets married. After all, it is time for him to get married." Feng Juexuan looked at it. He placed a piece on the chess board and said leisurely.
Feng Jue really went to be a proton, but everyone knows that Bai Yihao, the proton, will definitely go back, and Feng Jue, who is the same, will also come back, but before Bai Yihao goes back, he can't come back unless he gets engaged. Marriage, according to the rules of the Qin State, is for people to worship their ancestors.
Feng Jue’s true ancestor, the ancestor of the royal family, must go to the ancestral temple to bow three times and kowtow nine times...
Although Qin and Yan are each other's hostages, in reality Bai Yihao's role as hostage is much more casual. He can return to Yan from time to time, but Feng Jue really rarely comes back. On the one hand, it is because Bai Yihao His status as the crown prince was noble to him, and on the other hand, it was also because Emperor Zongwen rarely asked him to come back. Without the emperor's order, returning privately was equivalent to treason.
Feng Jue Concubine, I heard that many of the daughters of the Wangshoufu family have a gentle reputation, so I should choose her!"
Wang Shoufu was a veteran of the late emperor and had a cousin relationship with the Queen Mother. Naturally, he was close to the Queen Mother. Sometimes he would go to Cining Palace to see and talk to the Queen Mother, and his daughter would also come in and out of the palace with her. I have also met several princes from the royal family several times. Judging from the Queen Mother's intentions, it is normal for her to be interested in her.
"Brother, I heard that some of the women in this draft are from famous families. Although the two of us have each chosen a princess to get started, the positions of concubines and concubines are still vacant. The Queen Mother wants us to choose a few more. I'll also pick a few for Prince Ning." Feng Juexuan's words suddenly changed.
The main concubine has not yet entered the main house. Although it is not impossible to choose a concubine, she still feels a little bad, especially the two of them are both the most noble daughters of the prince. The Queen Mother will send the newcomers to the entrance at this time. It didn't quite feel like that, and as far as they knew, Wang Xiuxiu was not selected as a show girl this time.
The Queen Mother clearly wanted to select a few more for Prince Ning.
This means that another daughter from a wealthy family will be chosen to support Prince Ning. The Queen Mother has really taken great pains for Prince Ning.
Feng Jue He made the decision for King Ning and still thought of us, which is really touching."
These words may sound tactful, but they can't really be said to be very close. Fortunately, both of them know what the Queen Mother means, and they don't have that much affection for the Queen Mother. One is just saying it, and the other is listening in vain. As for what will happen next, That was all done in private, at least while maintaining a semblance of respect.
Feng Juelei listened quietly and drank tea. He then took the pot and poured a cup for Feng Juexuan. He drank it himself and sighed: "Eldest brother should go to Cining Palace to express his gratitude. The Queen Mother knows that eldest brother is injured. I went to my father specifically and asked him to send a royal doctor. My father thought that you were not seriously injured, so he refused. However, he was not worried about your injury, so he sent me here. have a look."
"Oh, when I get better, I will go to thank the Queen Mother in a few days." Feng Juexuan smiled indifferently, looked down at the chess board, as if he didn't listen at all, the wind blew, and all the people in the room were The fragrance of flowers floats by, it is the most fragrant time in spring, and the peach and plum trees are getting more and more fragrant.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Feng Juelei said goodbye. Feng Juexuan stood up and said goodbye for a while, then turned around and sat down again. With a wave of his hand, everyone retreated, and the smile on his lips became It was cold, with a bit of chill.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since Prince Yan came to test you today, no one will notice you as long as you pay a little attention." The closed door behind him opened, and Qin Yufeng walked out with a faint smile.
"Yu Feng, is he specifically bringing up Prince Ning's affairs today, or does he want to remind me that the Queen Mother has ill intentions towards this king?" Feng Juexuan's eyes flashed with a shadow, and a chilling air immediately filled the entire courtyard.
"Prince Yan is here, firstly, to find out about the prince, and secondly, to remind the prince to pay attention to the Queen Mother. His Highness Prince Ning, I'm afraid, has entered the capital now." Qin Yufeng sat down at Feng Juelei's seat just now. smiled.
"What? How dare he come to Beijing privately?" Feng Juexuan's expression changed.
"What does he dare not do? As long as the Queen Mother chooses a wealthy princess for him, his entry to Beijing will not be private. With the Queen Mother's help, who will search him even if they know he is hiding in the Queen Mother's Cining Palace? "Qin Yufeng picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard. The chess piece in this corner immediately came alive.
"Your Majesty, we don't have to do anything now, we just need to stir up this pool of spring water." Another chess piece fell on the chess board. This time Qin Yufeng took the opposite chess piece. The chess moves were decisive and clear-cut as before.
…
Mo Xuetong slept deeply at night, and when she woke up, it was already noon.
After she overslept, Mo Lan cleverly sent someone to tell Xu Yan that she was frightened yesterday and was sick now.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Xu Yan hurriedly asked people to come over and take a look. Sure enough, they found Mo Xuetong lying on the bed with a pale face. He did not wake her up. He only told them to take good care of Mo Xuetong and went back to resume his life.
Mo Huawen came back during lunch time and heard that Mo Xuetong was injured. He stood up hurriedly and wanted to see her. However, before he got up, he heard a report from outside that Hua Xiangfeng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, asked to see him, so he had to hurriedly take care of Xu Yanji. After saying a few words, he left the courtyard gate.
Hua Xiangfengji in the study room was waiting inside. When he saw Mo Huawen, he came up to salute with a smile. The two of them were of the same rank and were important ministers. It was common on weekdays. Naturally, they were very familiar with each other at this time, but Mo Huawen didn't know. What was the purpose of his visit? The boy served him some tea and left.
Both of them were court officials, and there were some words that the servant should not listen to, so they avoided them obediently.
"Lord Mo, I heard that the first lady is the eldest daughter of Duke Fu, could this be the painting?" Hua Xiangfeng walked around the study room twice, then looked at a picture of spring beauty on the wall and said with a smile.
Mo Huawen looked at it and said with a smile: "This is what Madam painted in her spare time. It has no other meaning, but she is not the eldest daughter of Luo Mansion." Xu Yan painted the picture of a beauty sleeping in spring just a few days ago. She is somewhat like her, and somewhat like Luo Xia. There is a lot of meaning in it, but Mo Huawen would not say this in front of outsiders.
He was actually full of suspicion and really didn't understand why Hua Xiangfeng asked about Luo Xia. With Hua Xiangfeng's personality, of course he wouldn't do anything wrong.
"Oh, I thought it was Madam Xian." Hua Xiangfeng sat down with a smile, looked at Mo Huawen and said: "A few days ago, I found a person outside the city gate, but Yan knew Madam Xian, and he was at Madam Xian's house. servant."
How could a little servant of Duke Fu know Luo Xia, and even mention Luo Xia specifically? Mo Huawen looked at Hua Xiangfeng in confusion, his eyes darkened, and he frowned, listening to what he said next. , a person in the officialdom would never talk about these old things without having nothing to do, but Hua Xiangfeng, whose personal relationship with him had always been dull, went out of his way to talk about Luo Xia's story...
