The song of the new female concubine is full of peach blossoms

When the calamus was hung all over the capital and the smell of sweet glutinous rice wafted out, the "Dragon Boat Festival" came as Feng Suzhen was looking forward to.But when welcoming Liju into the capital, the originally clear sky gradually darkened, and then it began to rain lightly, making all the officials stand in the rain impatiently, waiting for Liju's envoy to arrive soon.

"'May [-]th whistle, people are exposed to medicine, and there is no disaster in the year. Rain brings ghosts to exposure, and people are sick.' Well, it is not ominous." Li Zhaoting said, looking at the drizzle with his fingers, shaking his head.

"The princess is right, you are a crow's mouth!" Feng Suzhen, who was temporarily standing as the head of the Ministry of Rites, heard Li Zhaoting talking to himself, and couldn't get angry. If it wasn't because of face, it would definitely be a slap Called over.

"Hey, brother Feng, this is a folk proverb, I..."

"Zhao Ting, stop talking, have you forgotten why Brother Feng temporarily acted as Minister of the Ministry of Rites?" Liu Changying pulled Li Zhaoting, who wanted to come forward to argue with Feng Suzhen, and hinted that he should not make trouble.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites was enough to receive the tribute from a small country like Liju, but because they had special items in the tribute this year, the emperor asked the other five ministries to send a servant to accompany the Ministry of Rites to welcome them as a gesture of goodwill.Li Zhaoting and Liu Changying, who knew a thing or two about the inside story, were naturally drawn together. Zhang Shaomin also led soldiers to guard several major city gates, while Dongfang Sheng took his subordinates out of the city to meet Ligu's envoys, so as to ensure that there would be no troubles along the way. being harassed.

After hearing Liu Changying's words, Li Zhaoting realized how much he had said, and quickly apologized to Feng Suzhen who was frowning: "Brother Feng, I'm sorry, I forgot, but I really didn't mean to say this , This is a folk proverb, I just said it casually, just listen to it, don't take it to heart, this..."

"Shut up!" Feng Suzhen was annoyed by his nagging, Liju has already exceeded the original agreed arrival time, which made her very worried that there will be changes on the road, and Li Zhaoting can't say anything good, if another person is here to chatter, She has already started.

Liu Changying looked at the deflated Li Zhaoting, shrugged his shoulders, tried his best to hold back his smile, and left a little noodle for his friend and brother-in-law.

After everyone's official hats and shoulders were soaked, the colorful flags waving beautiful sentences appeared at the end of the road, which made Feng Suzhen feel a little more apprehensive.

Dongfang Sheng's horse was half a step behind Guan Tang, who was in front of him in Liju's royal attire, with his right hand resting on the sword hilt at his waist, looking around with his eyes, looking very cautious.Lai Chi held the horse's belly and accompanied him on the other side of Guantang, a horse behind the two of them, and also scouted around, extremely vigilant.

Seeing that Guan Tang was safe and sound, Feng Suzhen immediately stepped forward to welcome Guan Tang to dismount.

After exchanging pleasantries, Feng Suzhen took advantage of the rain to change Guan Tang into the official carriage, and accompanied her to sit in, while Dongfang Sheng and Lai Chi continued to escort them to the palace.

"Brother Guan, how was the journey?" Feng Suzhen asked because she was afraid of Dongfang Sheng's gloomy expression.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Guan Tang took off his big and tall Ligu top hat, threw it on a small table beside him, wiped off the rain on his cheeks with a delicate brocade handkerchief, and replied neutrally: "Barely It went well."

A drop of rainwater slowly slid down the smooth forehead onto the eyelashes. Feng Suzhen squeezed her sleeve to wipe it away. Seeing Guan Tang staring at her motionless, she couldn't help but chuckled and asked, "Why? What happened on the way? Didn't it mean it was fine?" went well?"

Guan Tang looked away, handed over the handkerchief in his hand, and said, "Will you wipe it off?"

Feng Suzhen stared at the Yuebai Crane Picture Jinpa handed over to her, she was stunned for a moment, and refused without thinking: "No, I have it."

Refreshingly withdrew his hand, Guan Tang looked down at the handkerchief tightly in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Feng Suzhen was afraid that Guan Tang would misunderstand, and said again: "Brother Guan, it's not that I dislike you, two big men share a piece... This is not good to say."

"En." Guan Tang stuffed the handkerchief back into his arms as if nothing had happened, looked at the door of the car, with a pair of big hands on his knees, sitting as firmly as Mount Tai.

Being interrupted by such an interruption, Feng Suzhen couldn't get down to business directly. She sighed softly and asked pretendingly curiously: "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Guanguan? Didn't she always want to come to the capital?"

"She...don't talk about her, the fan is on me, I'll give it to you now." Guan Tang abruptly changed the subject, but Feng Suzhen immediately threw Guan Guan away when she heard the word "fan" the back of the head.

Liju's clothes were as big as a robe, and Guan Tang stretched his hand from the skirt to his chest, groped all the way to his waist and abdomen, and then carefully took out a small square box wrapped in a cloth towel, and while Feng Suzhen's eyes were shining, he slowly opened the cloth towel, The palm-sized lacquered mahogany box inside was exposed.

After receiving the box from Guan Tang, Feng Suzhen almost held her breath, slowly opened the lid, and saw a small withered flower placed in the soft red silk, shaped like a lotus petal, odorless and fragile like a It shatters when touched.

"This, this is 'Mystery Hub'?"

"I checked carefully according to your description. I also saw the monarch take it out of the treasure pavilion and hand it to me. No one touched it on the way. It should be true."

When Feng Suzhen saw it for the first time, she had already compared it with the images that she had traced thousands of times in her mind. Seeing the shape, seeing the color, smelling the smell were all as stated in the book.

only……

"It's not that Shaomin doesn't believe Brother Guan, it's just that I haven't seen the real thing, and this is the first time I've seen it, so I'm a little worried. I hope Brother Guan will understand."

"It's okay, we'll be bothering you for a while in the capital, enough for you to find out the truth."

"Thank you, Brother Guan first." Feng Suzhen put away the box, and thanked Guan Tang sincerely.

Guan Tang nodded lightly, without any extra words.

"Brother Guan just said 'it's barely going well', but who did you meet on the way?"

Guan Tang's eyes sank, and he said, "It's just a few clowns."

"Do you know the details?"

Guan Tang glanced at Feng Suzhen, with complicated expressions in his eyes, and when Feng Suzhen thought he would not speak anymore, he said with a strange emotion in his voice: "It's Liju's person."

"Huh? Someone wants to prevent you from coming to Dacheng Kingdom?"

"Yes, those idiots from Shangguan's royal family who have more success than failure."

"Is it all right?"

"With those idiots, they can't hurt me." Guan Tang snorted coldly, his brows full of arrogance.

Feng Suzhen smiled softly, and under Guan Tang's puzzled gaze, she said gently, "Brother Guan, haven't you thought about standing on top of them? You are also of Shangguan's blood, and you are also qualified to be on the throne."

Feng Suzhen was not in a hurry to ask Guan Tang to give her an answer. Dongfang Sheng tapped on the wall of the carriage to inform them that they had arrived at the palace, but Guan Tang was still struggling with himself and did not hear what Dongfang Sheng said.

When presenting the tributes to the emperor one by one, Guan Tang was obviously absent-minded, which made all the officials feel dissatisfied. If Feng Suzhen hadn't come out and brought the topic to the arrangement of the dinner, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials would not have met on the spot. You should show Guan Tang a good look and teach him the etiquette of Dacheng Kingdom.

The emperor received a hint from Feng Suzhen, knowing that the "Mizhu Flower" had already arrived in her hands, so he asked her to discuss with her on the pretext of having something to do, and sent other people to arrange for Liju and his party to go to the inn to rest and prepare for the evening banquet.

It's just that Feng Suzhen has no way to know whether this flower is true or not, so the emperor asked Feng Suzhen to go back to the mansion first, refer to the classics, and find out as soon as possible whether this flower can heal Tianxiang.The time was too short, Feng Suzhen only had time to browse through the books left behind by the old man, and there was no way to study the other wild collections that had been collected by spending a lot of manpower and material resources in detail before the dinner was over.

Due to time constraints, Feng Suzhen only roughly wiped her cheeks with a cloth towel, changed into an official robe, and had to rush to the palace, but at the door she met Princess Tianxiang who was wearing a pink palace dress and had been meticulously dressed.

"Princess, why are you here?"

No wonder Feng Suzhen asked this question, since the two of them took Liu Tao back to Beijing and lived in their own mansions, one of them didn't call, and the other never went, after a long time, they felt that it was normal not to see each other.

Tian Xiang lowered her eyelids slightly, licked her specially painted lips, and said softly: "There is a banquet in the palace tonight, and the princess consort should attend together. I saw that you didn't come to see me, so..."

Feng Suzhen frowned, feeling a sudden pain in her heart, "I thought you didn't want to go with me."

"No matter what, you and I are still husband and wife in front of the world, and the royal face still has to be taken care of."

"That's right, for the face of the royal family, Shao Min was careless." Feng Suzhen laughed at herself, stepped over the threshold, saw a large ornately decorated carriage parked outside, and went up first.

"Princess, what's wrong with the son-in-law?" Tao'er, who was holding an umbrella, asked the gloomy Tianxiang with a puzzled face.

Tianxiang shook her head, unwilling to talk to them.

"Princess, if you have any misunderstandings with the son-in-law again, it's better to speak up quickly. Xing'er, I really haven't seen many good men like the son-in-law." Xing'er, who has always been outspoken, looked heartbroken. .

Tao'er patted Xing'er lightly, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking about the princess consort."

"Xing'er is right, she is indeed the best person. But... there are some things, how can a 'misunderstanding' explain it clearly." If she doesn't cruelly let her stay away from him, how can she save her life? ?

The person in the world who doesn't want to have a misunderstanding with her is himself, but he is the one who forcibly pushes her away without giving any reason.

"Princess, we don't understand these love affairs, but I know that if you really love someone, it must be for his own good. You don't want anything, as long as he is good. Therefore, as long as it is for the other party's good, the other party must be able to felt."

"Maybe." Tianxiang looked at the carriage and walked forward.

If she could really feel it, why would it cause pain to both parties?

Is it because, isn't love enough?Isn't the self who is willing to give everything for her not enough love?

Tianxiang began to be confused.
