Fall In Love With A Substitute

The king of Chu returned to southern Yunnan on his front foot, but before he could recover, the imperial edict came on his back foot.

"..."

Looking at the imperial decree to invite the vassal king to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet unfolded in his hand, the king of Chu tightly grasped the black gold cloth, his elegant face distorted for a moment.

At this moment, what he thought of was the fear of the prince revealed in Li Zi's words.

Within a short period of time, a series of changes in officials in the central capital came one after another, and the imperial court began to rectify the administration of officials, disrupting the layout of the King of Chu several times.

Not to mention, the king of Chu has been operating in southern Yunnan for many years, and when he went down to be a Diaohu, the generals and generals under him were still his people. He didn't take Feng Yunyi sent by the court too seriously, he just made him empty. Avoid him and say, to prevent him from sending letters to Feng Yuexian.

But after being hit by the situation, the King of Chu couldn't help but become more cautious, only to find that Feng Yunyi had been infiltrating the military affairs all the time, and had even recruited some low-level warriors in the army without a sound, which made the King of Chu angry. Jump straight, can't sleep well.

The crown prince and Feng Yuexian!It's like gangrene attached to the bone, there is really no one to make him worry!

Fortunately, the high-ranking generals of the army are all under his control, so that the king of Chu can still sleep after tossing and turning, otherwise he is really afraid that the army of the Feng family will break through the palace of the king of Chu in his dream.

On the side of Shangjing, fortunately, Li Fang of the Jingwei Southern Army has always been loyal to him.

Although the crown prince got rid of some side issues, he also moved a few civil servants who made the King of Chu heartbroken, but as long as the Southern Army's strength is under control, the King of Chu has the strength to fight against the palace——

If it doesn't work, you can still transfer the Northern Army and force the palace directly.

Unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to act like this, because his reputation would be hindered. The king of Chu thought he was high-minded and honest, and Huai Jin held Yu, and he didn't want to be reviled by later historians.

Therefore, the king of Chu has always ordered Li Zi to search for the prince's weakness in the capital——

The second prince is the body to wear the guilt, as long as the prince falls, as far as he is concerned, the general situation has been accomplished.

No news has come from Beijing yet, but the schedule is approaching, and the King of Chu must leave for Beijing to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

study.

Kang Xueying presented the gift list:

"The etiquette for the palace has been prepared, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it, please take a look at it, my lord."

In these superficial skills, King Chu has always done a good job. He has always been the most respectful and solemn among all the vassal kings. The old emperor is also very satisfied with him.

"Mr. Hardworking."

Holding the thick gift slip, the King of Chu sized up Kang Xueying who was seated below, with inquiring eyes hidden in his eyes.

After returning from the assassination and losing a lot of good fighters, the king of Chu was not without doubts about why the palace responded so comprehensively.

It is not impossible to attribute this to the more aggressive methods of the prince, but the high-ranking people have never lacked suspicion. Since the return from Shangjing and his party, the king of Chu has become suspicious of the very few cronies who came to Beijing with him.

He pressed the gift list on the table, hesitated for a moment, and made a decision.

The last time I went to Beijing with me, I couldn't bring them with me.

"When I go this time, the concubine will also go with me. It is necessary for Mr. Kang to sit in southern Yunnan and help steward Zheng handle the affairs of the palace. Only then can I feel at ease."

The king of Chu has a gentle and trusting face, but he has already divided his priorities. The king of Chu, who has always been reassuring to let Kang Xueying guard the house, has put the power in the hands of the mansion this time.

The man in charge of the palace is his family's son, who lacks resourcefulness but is more than loyal.

Later, he would tell Guanshi Zheng to keep an eye on Kang Xueying and his cronies who went to Beijing together.

Under the eyes of the King of Chu, Kang Xueying cupped her hands, and she couldn't see anything unusual:

"As entrusted by the prince, don't dare to refuse."

"Estimated the time, the king of Chu has already set off."

In the imperial garden, Feng Yuexian played chess with Song Pianxuan in the pavilion with a leisurely face.

Song Pianxuan didn't know how to play chess, the original body only had a rough knowledge of chess, and it was only a few days ago that Feng Yuexian taught it carefully.

With the guidance of a "good teacher", she has made great progress, and under Feng Yuexian's offensive of sometimes tight and sometimes loose, she can fight evenly, and it's just a matter of fun.

At this moment, she was twisting the chess pieces, thinking about the chess game seriously, and said casually:

"It's time to get this over with."

After finishing speaking, Song Pian slammed down the chess piece, and when the chess piece fell, it made a deep and powerful sound like a jade clatter.

Feng Yuexian smiled, and just about to speak, Song Yingguang walked in from outside the pavilion wearing a skirt, holding a bunch of flowers in her other hand, and said in a soft voice:

"Brother Huang, look at the shining flowers, do you like them?"

Behind her, her servant bowed her waist and said with a smile:

"Seeing the two Highnesses here, the princess broke off a lot of flower branches and said that she would give them to His Highness to decorate the East Palace."

When Song Yingguang heard what the servant said, she felt embarrassed.

She hugged the pile of flowers in her bosom upwards, covering half of her little face.

Only showing a pair of clear eyes that only innocent children can have, blinking at Song Pianlu, and wearing the rice beads on her head, she is extremely cute.

Song Pianlu has no feelings for children, neither likes nor dislikes them, but children are cute and sensible, no one should feel disgusted.

Seeing Song Yingguang's attitude at this time, Song Pianle smiled and said:

"Yingguang has a heart."

"Brother Huang, have you accepted it?" Song Ying smiled brightly, and was about to hand the flower to Xue Qing who was behind Song Pianlu.

She hadn't dealt with the palace attendant much, so she looked up at Xueqing and said in a soft voice, "Can you help Brother Huang bring him back to the palace?"

As a secret guard, Xue Qing couldn't help but reach out to pick it up.

"Yingguang only asked Brother Huang, but not your sister-in-law."

Xue Qing's hand holding the flower was in the air.

Song Yingguang was taken aback.

She hugged the flower branch and looked up at her sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law is holding a chess piece under her fingertips. The beauty is extremely beautiful. Song Yingguang also thought that if she grows up to be a stunning beauty like the sister-in-law, she would be willing to eat one less piece every day—no, two pieces of butterfly cakes.

But for some reason, Song Yingguang was a little scared of her.

Maybe because it was never spoken?

"I am here with your sister-in-law, Yingguang only calls me, but it will make your sister-in-law sad."

Song Pianlu's voice is very gentle, with patience for children.

Song Yingguang looked at her, then at Feng Yuexian.

She took a small step in front of Feng Yuexian, and asked timidly:

"This is a shining flower, does the emperor's wife like it?"

She raised her face, and saw the emperor's sister-in-law faintly glanced at her. Although she was not as kind as the emperor's brother, she didn't hurt herself, she just said lazily:

"It's okay."

Song Yingguang breathed a sigh of relief and raised a smile:

"Is the queen's wife willing to accept it?"

Feng Yuexian glanced at Yinxue next to him, Yinxue understood, and stepped forward to gently take the delicate thing in Song Yingguang's arms.

Only then did Feng Yuexian say:

"The small kitchen has made some crispy cheese, and I'll send some to you later."

Have something to eat again?

Song Yingguang's face lit up, and she suddenly found that Huang's sister-in-law's face was not only beautiful, but also very gentle and kind.

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

She said crisply and smiled sweetly.

After Song Yingguang left, Feng Yuexian's tone was a bit disgusted, but her movements were brisk:

"It's just a little bit of food, children are so easy to coax."

Song Pianlu looked at her, hiding the smile in her eyes.

"Why do you say I will be sad?" Feng Yue said in a gossip, "How could I care about her."

Song Pianjue said:

"Yuexian is magnanimous, but He Jieyu and Yingguang were suppressed by the concubine Xian before, so they were cowardly."

"You and I are here together, she only gets close to me, which is out of courtesy, and doesn't respect you enough as the emperor's wife."

Song Pina raised her eyes.

"Whether you care or not is up to you. Since she is wrong, she should point it out."

Feng Yuexian sighed softly.

Song Pianlu was thinking about how to deal with Feng Yuexian's offensive, it took a long time to realize that Feng Yuexian sighed.

"Why sigh."

Feng Yue laughed casually and didn't answer.

How could there be someone like Song Pianxuan?

Even such small things are taken seriously.When pointing out Song Yingguang's mistakes and omissions, he used an extremely gentle way.Not talking about rules and etiquette, just saying that it will make people sad.

Every word and deed is full of tenderness and respect, as if this is her innate ability and a belief engraved in her bones.

Such a person, how can one not be tempted.

Since the second prince's accident, the palace has not been relaxed for a while, and each palace lives in hiding in its own palace.

When the day came to July, when the wind was calm and the sea was calm for a long time, people in the palace dared to let go of their skin and come out for a walk.

The old emperor was not interested in the harem, but the people in the harem had to live on their own, otherwise it would be no different from being in prison. There was no one to speak, and they were suffocated to death.

These days, Song Pianiao went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. With the emperor here, Feng Yue couldn't go there any longer. She only picked the time when Song Pianiao was not around to go out of the palace to do business, or to manage the harem's one-third of an acre of land.

After being in charge for a long time, it is inevitable to deal with the concubine.

Among them, Ning Cairen Ning Yaomeng was the closest to her, according to Ning Cairen, it was because Feng Yuexian had saved her from Concubine Xian.

Feng Yuexian and Concubine Xian hadn't confronted each other a few times, if it wasn't for this, she might not remember when she saved Cairen Ning.

Not impressed.

The reason why Feng Yue is idle in managing the harem is because no one is in charge, and by the way, he has placed manpower for himself, never caring too much about the concubine, and only letting the Ministry of Internal Affairs distribute the expenses according to the system.

But when it comes to low-ranking concubines who have been detained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years and have been treated fairly once, there is simply no more ironic move than this.

All of a sudden, the reputation of the princess' kindness spread in the harem, and her popularity was not low.

If it wasn't for the lack of seniority and inconvenient status, these women might have to ask Feng Yuexian to thank them.

But Ning Yaomeng was not included at all, because of the incident earlier, she obviously regarded herself as a "little assistant in the harem of the princess", and came to inform Feng Yuexian when she had nothing to do.

Yesterday He Jieyu took the little princess to play and met the eldest princess. Everyone said that the eldest princess is super beautiful.

Today Xu Jieyu played a leaf card game, and the second prince and concubine also went, and almost exported all the hairpins on her head.

Tomorrow, a little nobleman passed by Yixi Palace, and was called in by the third prince inside to insult him, but fortunately, he was stopped by the day lily next to Mrs. Xi, and nothing serious happened.

The day after tomorrow, Zhaoyi's palace attendant bald and told about Zhaoyi and the beautiful woman grinding the mirror, and everyone in the palace knew about it——

"Wait, what happened to this last one?"

Feng Yuexian pressed the center of his eyebrows.

The lives of concubines are so colorful?

Ning Yao dreamed: "Hey, it's normal in the palace, it's just that such a careless servant is really uncommon."

"..." has become the norm.

However, more than half of the concubines, especially the low-ranking concubines, have not been lucky at all. Let's have a companion and be self-sufficient... Well, it's not too much.

Most importantly, this has nothing to do with me.

She doesn't even care about the concubines in the harem, can she care if they fight in bed or not?

Rather—

Feng Yue Xian turned around in her mind, and let this matter go for now.

Concubine Hui's birthday is coming up, and Concubine Hui has given herself such a big convenience, Feng Yuexian is reciprocal, and wants to organize a birthday banquet for her.

She said to Ning Yaomeng:

"are you--"

"It's not that I don't have it." Ning Yao Mengchao said loudly.

"..."

Feng Yuexian, who originally wanted to ask Ning Yaomeng if she was free and if she could help to personally deliver a post to each palace, was expressionless. She didn't care about Ning Yaomeng's private life, so she just said in a low voice:

"As for Concubine Hui's birthday banquet, you can help me manage it."

"Oh." Ning Yaomeng looked stunned, and asked, "Who are you inviting?"

"Send off all the palaces, the palace hasn't been busy for a long time."

"That's fine, sister Huifei must be very happy - if all the palaces give gifts, what about Mingshou Palace?"

Feng Yue took a break.

Where Song Pianliu...

She hooked her lips:

"At the Mingshou Palace, I will go in person."

When the Crown Princess was dealing with affairs in the harem, Zilai had a calm face, as if nothing could cause waves on her face.

The cold air blew out like ice, as beautiful as the hazy fairy wind blowing, but actually it was cold.

This is the first time, Ning Yao dreamed that the princess was showing some color, it was really eye-catching.

Ning Yaomeng didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and left with a dazed head.

On the day Song Pianlu was going to Mingshou Palace as usual, Feng Yuexian was going to look for her.

She really liked Song Pianju when she was in Mingshou Palace.

When she ordered to go on, she saw Yinxue looking at herself with a hesitant expression on her face.

"What?" Feng Yue Xian wondered.

With Yinxue's temperament, there will be a day when she dare not say anything?

Yinxue said cautiously:

"Are we...really going to Mingshou Palace?"

Feng Yuexian nodded:

"Well—but something else?"

Yinxue shook her head, her eyes were pained.

We dare not say, we dare not ask.

She didn't even dare to drink her favorite peach blossom wine, sweet-scented osmanthus wine, for fear that she would turn around and sell her master like the servant of Zhaoyi's family next door.

She is so difficult.
