While thinking about it, Jin Fengju laughed and said, "Qiu Ning, didn't you hear the emperor's question? Do you still have to ask me to say it for you?"
Fu Qiuning thought, can't you just report to the emperor that I am a mute wife? Tell me what's wrong? It's you who caused the disaster, so you deserve it even if you take it for granted.
I thought so, but I had no choice but to stand up, lowered my head and whispered: "What I said back to the emperor, I just said it unintentionally. Unexpectedly, the young marquis listened to it. Afterwards, I tried it, and I thought it was okay." , This is all the ingenuity of the young Marquis, and I dare not take credit for it. "
"Oh? I don't know, Fengju is still willing to work hard on food?" The emperor took a sip of tea and recalled Jin Fengju's words that day in his mind. This woman seemed to be a concubine of the Zhenjiang Prince's Palace. Now that I think about it, Zhenjiang was The king is really too arrogant and domineering. For a concubine to give the favored son of heaven as his first wife, this is simply too much bullying.
"Yes, the young marquis said that day that the emperor had a bad appetite, so after hearing the concubine's accidental words, he racked his brains and actually put such an idea into practice. This is because he is loyal and only shares the emperor's worries and relieves his troubles. , to have this novel hot pot.”
Fu Qiuning still answered in a low voice, fully demonstrating the mediocrity of a woman. Even so, her back was almost burned by those secretly jealous eyes. It is conceivable that if she behaved more outstandingly, I am afraid that these The vision is enough to burn yourself to ashes.
Jin Fengju thought well, but he blamed it all on me. Just as he was about to say a few words to Qiu Ning, the emperor asked calmly: "Are you from the Zhenjiang Prince's Palace? How is your grandfather doing lately? I haven't seen him for a while."
Jin Fengju's heart thumped, and he looked at the emperor in disbelief, wondering what was going on? At this time, the emperor asked the King of Zhenjiang what the old man was doing? Could it be that he remembered Qiuning's identity and wanted to fight for me? Oh, I beg you, please don't meddle in this matter, okay? What were you doing when our Marquis Mansion was slapped by the Prince of Zhenjiang? Now Qiu Ning and I are in love as husband and wife, but you think that I am angry and want to beat the couple
After all, Fu Qiuning didn't understand this emperor. Although he felt a little strange when he heard him ask this question, his mind was still a little stiff. He had no time to think about it for a while, so he could only answer: "When I went back a few years ago, my grandpa's body was still strong. Thank you very much." The Emperor cares."
"Well!" the emperor said lightly: "Although the married daughter throws away the water, you should still go back and see your biological parents more often." He looked at Jin Fengju and asked with a half-smile: "Do you want me to give them to you specially? Is your wife allowed to take a vacation?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the room changed. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying almost shouted in surprise. Fu Qiuning's face turned pale, knowing that the emperor was now favoring Jin Fengju and thought of avenging him. This is the emperor, not Mrs. Jiang and his ilk, and he still has some room for resistance. Once he has a golden tongue and jade teeth, his words can no longer be changed.
Because he was so upset for a moment, he saw Jin Fengju rushing out early, kneeling down and saying: "Returning to the emperor, when my mother-in-law was seriously ill, Qiu Ning also went back to stay for a few days. As a result, there was almost chaos in the house during those days. The old lady was ill. The two children could not see their mother and refused to eat. In the end, they became seriously ill. Therefore, I did not let Qiu Ning return to the palace during this period. I wanted to spend some time and wait until the weather was hot. , it just so happens that the ice cubes from Tianshan Mountain have also arrived, I will accompany Qiu Ning to bring some to my mother-in-law."
What he said was not only incoherent, but even a little scary. At the very least, the emperor would never believe that the palace would be in chaos without a woman. It was easy to say that the children missed their mother, but the old lady was also sick, which was a bit outrageous. Jin Fengju said this just to show himself that he was not willing to let himself feel unfair for him, and he wanted this woman to stay.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and the emperor couldn't help but look at Fu Qiuning: She is an ordinary woman, not a beautiful woman. What is it that attracts this young man who even he admires and loves, and wishes he was his son?
While thinking about it, he pondered and said: "Since you said so, then forget it. This is your housework anyway, so I won't interfere any more." After finishing his words, his eyes fell on Jin Zangfeng, Jin Zangjiao, brother and sister. He looked a little surprised and said, "Are these your children? They look seven or eight years old, right?"
Are you kidding me? Has my memory deteriorated to this point? Didn't this brat Fengju get married five or six years ago? Why do you have such a big child with Mrs. Fu? It belongs to this woman, right? I just saw these two children standing next to her. The emperor screamed in surprise.
"Back to the emperor, Qiu Ning has no children. These two children are fostered in her name." Jin Fengju's face turned red and asked secretly, Your Majesty, what are you doing here? Just to expose my background
He deliberately called Fu Qiuning by his first name in front of the emperor, which was inappropriate. But who made the emperor say before that he came to the Hou Mansion to visit relatives and friends? Since he felt that it was too cold to be in high places, Jin Fengju simply went a little overboard in these small details. He thought that the emperor would not blame himself for this. By the way, he could also hint that he and Qiu Ning were deeply in love as husband and wife, and asked him to show his respect. Don't try to avenge yourself six years later as an afterthought.
The emperor understood in his heart. Looking at Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao, they were indeed a pair of young children as beautiful as jade. At this time, he remembered that Jin Fengju had praised Fu's virtuousness when they were eating hot pot in the palace. A woman can be considered virtuous if she can educate a pair of children who are not her biological children to be like this. No wonder Feng Ju became so nervous and frightened that he even ignored the etiquette when he heard that he wanted to divorce his wife for him. Now that I think about it, he clearly said in the palace that day that he was lucky to marry Mrs. Fu. Think about it, if a husband and wife are not in love, how can they praise each other everywhere? What happened today was that I was a little reckless because I loved my ministers.
Thinking of this, the emperor glanced at Jin Fengju with a smile, then waved to Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao: "Come here, what are your names?"
Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao answered quickly and respectfully, and the emperor asked Jin Zangfeng a few questions. Considering his age, he didn't ask in depth at first, but when he saw that the little guy answered fluently, the emperor was a little surprised. He slowly asked more questions, and Jin Zangfeng still answered calmly. This suddenly aroused the interest of the old emperor, who was so interested that he seemed determined to decide the winner. After asking a few more questions, seeing that Jin Zangfeng was struggling to answer slowly, he stopped, looked at Jin Fengju and said: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no son, you are an amazing child, I remember you were the top pick in the year, right? Maybe? There is no way your government will produce another top scholar in the future, but this is all due to your good teaching."
What a high praise. Jin Fengju hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, thank you. This is all due to Qiu Ning's teachings. I have been busy with government affairs these years and rarely stay at home. I really don't dare to take credit for educating my children."
The emperor looked at Fu Qiuning, nodded and said, "In this case, you are a virtuous person, and you have brought out these two good seedlings."
Fu Qiuning's legs were weak from this series of frights and praises. He also knew that Jin Fengju must be looking at him with so many resentful eyes at this moment, right? Damn it, she said viciously in her heart: I asked you to help me get the limelight, but what can I do if you just take it all on yourself? I won't expose you, so I have to be the one who stands out. Now, even the emperor praised me. You bastard, don't you know that the one who stands out is the first to be shot
While thinking about it, without showing anything on his face, he folded his crotch and knelt down to salute, and said softly: "I don't dare to take credit. This is because the young marquis is promoting me. Children don't dare to say how talented they are, but they are diligent in learning and have good moral character." Xianliang did follow the young marquis. For example, Zhenxuan and the second girl in the sister's room were smarter and smarter than Feng'er Jiao'er. When Feng'er Jiao'er was five or six years old, she didn't read as much as their younger brothers and sisters. book of."
Jiang Wanying raised her head slightly and sneered in her heart: Huh, you finally know the current situation and know that you can't take the limelight by yourself. The emperor took a deep look at Fu Qiuning, and as expected, he called Jin Zhenxuan over to ask a few questions and praise him.
Then he saw Jin Yanfang and others. The emperor thought of the ministers who had been killed by the bandits, and felt a little sad in his heart. He comforted them, and said a few words to everyone, and the sun slowly went west.
Jin Fengju looked at the sky outside, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. If I remember correctly, during the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years, there was also a family banquet in the palace, and there was also a dragon boat race. I would like to come to the palace of some princes. , those boatmen have been training hard for so many days, just hoping to see Tianyan and show their face in front of the emperor. If the emperor cannot attend, let alone them, even the princes will be disappointed."
After hearing what he said, the emperor stood up and said: "What you are saying is that I have been delayed outside for a long time, and the Queen Mother in the palace may also be worried." After that, he said to the old lady: "I have some free time. Go and sit in the palace, the Queen Mother was complaining a few days ago that no one was talking, the days in the palace, even if there are a lot of children and grandchildren, can't compare to the ease and comfort of people like you."
The old lady quickly agreed, and the emperor slowly walked out and came to the front hall. He saw people pouring out of the rooms on all sides, and people were kneeling all over the courtyard, shouting long live the mountains. The emperor smiled and said: "Yes, since it is the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be many children from aristocratic families coming and going. Forget it, you can go back now, these people have to be entertained."
Jin Fengju said quickly: "I am sending the emperor back to the palace. If I don't see the emperor returning to the palace safely with my own eyes, how can I have the heart to entertain guests?"
