Feng Sheng is also aware of the rules in the palace.
Before the big wedding, the two old nuns told her how to salute whoever she saw, but she was a princess, and there were only a few people in the world who could make her salute.
After entering the palace, King Wei went to Qianqing Palace to meet Emperor Jianping, while Feng Sheng was led to Kunning Palace. Although King Wei told her not to worry, Empress Chen would not do anything to her, Feng Sheng was still worried.
It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm a little disgusted with the situation in front of me. After thinking about it, I will be at ease when it comes, and it's useless to think about it.
In front of Kunning Palace, the inside was quickly called in.
All the way was led to the main hall by the maids, and the eyes were full of royal style and majesty.
The person on the top phoenix seat is Empress Chen. I saw her wearing a bright yellow Yanju uniform and wearing a crown of six dragons and three phoenixes. Judging by her appearance, she was about forty years old.
"The sons and ministers join the mother, and wish the mother a happy life and well-being."
Empress Chen smiled, nodded and said: "Get up, give me your seat."
The maid at the side hurriedly moved Zhang Dunzi over and put it behind Feng Sheng. She sat down slowly, taking only half of the seat, and thanked Empress Chen again.
Empress Chen looked at her.
Seriously speaking, as soon as Feng Sheng stepped into this palace, Empress Chen had been watching her.
Seeing that she has a beautiful appearance, it is not easy to tell, but what is more eye-catching is not her appearance, but her calm and unhurried demeanor. Empress Chen never used the word tolerance when describing women, but this time she felt that this was the most appropriate way.
Moreover, the crown dress of this fateful woman has always been oppressive, usually only the clothes can not see people, this is the first time Empress Chen has seen someone can wear this crown dress so well.
"Yue'er was able to get married, and this palace has also taken care of it. He also has a hard life. He married two concubines in front of him, and his life is not good. When I see you, I know you are blessed, Yue'er It’s also a blessing.”
Feng Sheng looked up at the other party, Empress Chen lost her composure.
Although she had never met Empress Chen, she learned from King Wei that a large part of the reason why the crown prince was able to sit on the throne was because of Empress Chen.
What about the post-wife queen? Since ancient times, how many post-wife queens have made wedding clothes for others, can accompany the emperor for so many years, and can handle the emperor's temper in everything. You shouldn't be so short-sighted, and deliberately stab someone with words bride.
It was surprising that Empress Chen understood the surprise in those beautiful eyes.
Her smile froze a little, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
"By the way, Fuchun, what about the gift this Palace prepared for Princess Wei?"
Fu Chun took a brocade box from the maid beside her, and brought it up: "Your Majesty."
Empress Chen motioned for her to open it, and waved to Feng Sheng again. When Feng Sheng came forward, he picked up the peony and phoenix feather spot emerald red gold hairpin, and inserted it into her bun.
"It's so pretty. It's a good looking person, so it goes well with hairpins."
"Thank you mother for the reward."
Empress Chen still smiled, as if all that had never happened before: "Okay, I guess King Wei is coming soon, so I won't keep you here, you have to go to Concubine Li. Go and make Concubine Li happy, you I don’t know, Concubine Li’s only thought is that King Wei can quickly let her embrace his grandson.”
Feng Sheng showed a bit of shyness appropriately, and saluted Empress Chen again, before leaving.
After she left, Empress Chen's face darkened, and the surprise in those clear and beautiful eyes was still replaying in her mind, as if a slap had been slapped on her face.
Even if I lose my composure, it doesn't matter, you still have to bow your knees in front of this palace. If it weren't for your brother, why would my son be reduced to the position of the abolished crown prince and be confined to the Eastern Palace.
As soon as Empress Chen thought of this, her heart would jump suddenly.
Seeing that her complexion was not right, Fu Chun hurriedly stepped forward to support her and comfort her.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, the imperial physician has told you not to be angry."
Empress Chen took a deep breath, and then let out the depression in her chest, but her complexion suddenly aged by dozens of years. After all, she is getting old, even if she temporarily maintains her glamor by relying on some foreign objects, it is futile, especially in the past half a year, Empress Chen has been exhausted physically and mentally.
She was even grounded because the prince offended Emperor Jianping. These days, Princess Wei is the only outsider that Empress Chen sees. If it wasn't for the fact that the princess would go to the palace to pay respects to the queen the day after her wedding, she might still not be able to see anyone today.
"This bitch, I can't spare her!" After scolding, Empress Chen asked again: "How is the prince these few days?"
"Your Highness is fine. Your Majesty, how long will you be here? Your Highness will not cause any trouble. The most urgent thing now is to take care of your body. As long as you take care of your body, you will not be afraid of anything."
Yes, she needs to get back to her health quickly. After all, His Majesty is concerned about the relationship between the young couple. Even if her feet are banned, it is in the name of her physical discomfort. As long as she recovers, the confinement will be lifted naturally. Your majesty will be in good health. Will a crown prince be established for a while? As long as the crown prince is not established, they will not lose.
As soon as Feng Sheng left the Kunning Gate, he saw King Wei walking towards him.
He wears a winged crown and an indigo-colored robe with four round dragon collars. He walked very fast, Feng Sheng was still in a daze, so he came to her, grabbed her hand, and glanced at her.
Although he didn't say anything, Feng Sheng could see what he meant.
She shook her head, saying it was okay.
King Wei nodded and said, "Let's go see the concubine mother."
The location of Xianfu Palace is a bit off, some distance from Kunning Palace, Feng Sheng and King Wei walked for a quarter of an hour to arrive.
Before stepping into the palace gate, a palace maid came up to greet her, saying that the empress had been waiting for a long time.
This is the first time Feng Sheng sees Concubine Li. Unlike her imaginary mother-in-law, Concubine Li is younger than expected, and is better maintained than Queen Chen. Wei Wang's temperament is gloomy, and he is not young, as far as Feng Sheng knows, he is twenty-six, so how old is Concubine Li? Even King Wei, who was born fifteen years old, might be in his forties, but Feng Sheng still looks like a young girl.
Yes, this is how Concubine Li feels to Feng Sheng, she doesn't look like one of the four concubines, not like Wei Wang's mother concubine, but like Yunying's unmarried girl.
It could be seen that Concubine Li liked Feng Sheng very much, she took her hand to greet her, and took out a lot of jewelry to give to Feng Sheng, saying that they were all for her daughter-in-law.
"Mother and Concubine, why does my daughter-in-law want so many things from you?"
"What's wrong, these are all accumulated by my concubine over the years, and some styles are not suitable for her age, but it is just right for you at this age." Said, Concubine Li's eyes fell on Feng Sheng's head The peony and phoenix feather touched the emerald red gold hairpin, with some hesitation: "This is it?"
"This is what the empress gave to her daughter-in-law just now."
Concubine Li suddenly stood up, rushed to Feng Sheng, and pulled out the hairpin from her head.
Feng Sheng was taken aback by her, but luckily the constant shock over the years kept her steady, but King Wei subconsciously helped her by his side.
It could be seen that Concubine Li regretted being so impulsive, but she still held the hairpin in her hand and smiled: "Concubine Mother, try the hairpin for you, Qianru quickly bring the things here."
Qianru hurried over with a tray of jewelry.
Concubine Li also seemed to really help her try out the hairpins, and even put a few on Feng Sheng's hair, and they all said they looked good. In the end, she picked out a buyao with a red treasure double luan holding a longevity fruit, put it on for Feng Sheng, and said with a smile: "Forget it, you should go back and try it slowly, the concubine mother is afraid that you won't like the one you choose. "
"My concubine chose it, and my daughter-in-law likes it."
"It's fine if you like it. Qianru packs everything up and lets Princess Wei take it back later."
After sitting and talking for a while, King Wei took Feng Sheng to leave.
And of course the box of jewellery.
But Concubine Li never returned the hairpin that Empress Chen gave her. It was hard for Feng Sheng to say it in front of her, and it was not until the gate of Xianfu Palace that King Wei squeezed her hand and motioned her to go back.
When the figures of King Wei and Feng Sheng disappeared outside the palace gate, Qianru asked in surprise, "Ma'am, what about the hairpin?"
Concubine Li didn't speak, she came to the table with the hairpin and sat down.
She took a hairpin from her head and picked it up with the point of the hairpin.
After picking it a few times, the head of the hairpin suddenly opened, and some red powder came out from inside. The red color of the powder is so weird that it makes people shudder when they look at it.
Qianru's face turned pale all of a sudden.
Concubine Li, however, showed anger on her face, and scolded: "This bitch! After killing two, my son finally married the one he likes, but he still doesn't forget to kill him. I will tolerate everything and do it for her. After so many years of being a horse, he still presses hard."
"Ma'am, what about this hairpin?"
Concubine Li took a deep breath and said, "I have my own opinion."
As she spoke, she restored the hairpin to its original state, and she wiped off the scattered powder with a handkerchief, and asked Qianru to take the handkerchief and burn it.
At this time, a young eunuch ran in from outside the door and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness has arrived at the palace gate."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Concubine Li didn't get up to greet her, but instead went to the inner hall.
…
"What? Did the king of Wei bring his bride to see you and made you angry?" Emperor Jianping, wearing a black gauze winged crown and a purple eight dragon pattern uniform, stepped in from outside the door.
Concubine Li, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, didn't seem to have expected that Emperor Jianping would appear suddenly, she hurriedly stood up, but accidentally knocked off the hairpin she was putting on hand.
She subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but she seemed to be afraid of something, stood up straight, smiled at Emperor Jianping, and saluted.
"The concubine is not angry. Concubine Wei is a good child. The concubine likes her very much. The concubine just sighs. The king of Wei is finally married. I hope Feng'er's child will live a long life and give birth to an heir for the king of Wei. Concubine Even if I close my eyes, I feel at ease."
Emperor Jianping came over to help her up: "What nonsense do you say that you can't close your eyes?" But his eyes fell on the hairpin that fell on the ground, and he asked casually, "I don't seem to have seen you wear this hairpin before."
"This hairpin doesn't belong to my concubine." After saying that, Concubine Li seemed to want to change her words again, but she couldn't take it back, so she could only smile reluctantly and said: "This is what the empress gave to that child Feng'er. I just talked to her for a while. In other words, I felt that this child and my concubine were very close, so I found a few pieces of jewelry from the past and gave them to her, but Gu Gu helped her try on the jewelry, which caused her to pull down the hairpin that the empress gave to her."
As she said that, she raised her voice and said, "Qianru, take the hairpin away and put it away. Tomorrow, I will order someone to send it back to Princess Wei. After all, it was rewarded by the empress, so I'm afraid it would be bad not to keep it with me."
As she spoke, she followed Emperor Jianping to the outer kang and sat down.
A court lady served tea, and the two of them were talking, and the trouble was over.
Emperor Jianping sat for a while, then left, saying that he still had official business and would come back at night. Concubine Li sent him out of the hall, and when she turned back, Qianru leaned forward and whispered in her ear: "Eunuch Fu wants to leave the hairpin."
…
Emperor Jianping returned to Qianqing Palace in a walking chariot, without speaking all the way.
He didn't speak, and Fu Lu naturally didn't dare to speak, he just felt that the hairpin in his sleeve was extremely hot.
After returning, Emperor Jianping continued to read the scriptures, while Fu Lu hurried down in a cold sweat.
Not long after, Fu Lu came back again, and stood by the side without daring to speak.
Fu Lu served Emperor Jianping for many years, and Emperor Jianping naturally understood his character, so he glanced at him and said, "Tell me the truth."
"There is something in the hairpin head. The servant let Imperial Physician Liu see it. I don't know what it is yet, but Imperial Physician Liu said that it will hinder the fertility of women. After a long time, it may hurt Shouyuan."
With that said, Fu Lu also took out the hairpin and showed Emperor Jianping the head of the hairpin that could be opened. Of course, what's inside has been disposed of.
With a wave of Emperor Jianping's hand, the teacup on the dragon table was swept to the ground with a crisp sound.
How clever Feng Sheng is, he has already guessed that there is a problem.
After she and King Wei got into the carriage, she asked, "Is the hairpin wrong?"
Wei Wang grimaced, and rubbed her palm with his fingers: "There are unclean things inside."
"How does the concubine know?"
It was only after the words were out of the mouth that Feng Sheng realized that the words were presumptuous.
Seemingly seeing the annoyance of her mistake in her eyes, King Wei looked at her, reached out and rubbed her eyebrows: "You shouldn't have such thoughts, you are the concubine chosen by the king himself, if you want to know, you can directly ask me."
"I… "
To put it bluntly, although the two are married, they are not truly intimate after all. Although we have done such intimate things together, after all, things and time are too hasty.
Seeing her silent, King Wei's eyes flickered, knowing that he shouldn't push her too hard.
"The concubine mother is from the Chen family. To be precise, the reason why the concubine mother was able to enter the palace at the beginning was because the Chen family wanted to help empress Chen."
Afterwards, King Wei gave an overview of the origins of it, including that the mother and son had been attached to the middle palace for many years, and it was not until he became an adult and built a mansion that this situation became better.
"Then the two you married earlier, are they all so ignorant?" Feng Sheng felt a kind of shudder, even though she was resourceful, she had never seen such a harem's secret means.
"One was congenitally deficient, and the other died of slipping and falling into the water."
Feng Sheng always felt that these words were strange, but Wei Wang obviously didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask more.
"That is to say, Empress Chen didn't do anything before, but why did she treat me—"
Well, who told her to be Fang Fengfu's younger sister
Feng Sheng smiled wryly, and said: "I'm afraid it's not good for the concubine mother to buckle the hairpin. What if the empress asks?"
"Don't worry, the queen mother will definitely send the hairpin back tomorrow."
Based on King Wei's guess about Concubine Li, I'm afraid his mother and concubine will not let it go. Concubine Li has always been blamed on Empress Chen for the short lives of the previous two Concubines Wei. Hate counts together.
As expected by the King of Wei, someone came from Xianfu Palace the next day, and it was the hairpin from yesterday that was returned.
The person who sent it also said that Emperor Jianping wanted to pass the hairpin, so Feng Sheng continued to wear it, pretending not to know. But that's another story.
