Celebrating the Year of the Fish: A Princess is Not a Concubine[GL]

[Eight]

Wei Huanian entered the Fengqi Palace of the Queen's eldest grandson, the little maid said that the Queen was resting, and she wanted to go in to report, and asked Wei Huanian to wait outside for a while.

In the elegant and luxurious Fengqi Palace, the golden beast incense burner burns the pleasant-smelling diptero incense, and the cigarettes curl up.The entire Fengqi Palace was silent, it was still raining outside, only the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves was tinkling.

Another little court lady with a sign brought up a cup of tea, put it on the small square table beside Wei Huanian, saluted again, and retreated silently.

Wei Huanian took a sip of tea, it was Yuqian Longjing, this year's new tea.

Wan Qiu complained in a low voice: "Why hasn't the empress come out yet?"

"Lan Qiu." Wei Huanian's eyes signaled her not to talk nonsense, and Wan Qiu immediately lowered her head.

"Ah, you are here, princess!" Aunt Liusu came out from behind the screen, and was surprised and delighted to see Wei Huanian.She heard movement outside just now, so she came out to check, but she didn't expect Wei Huanian to arrive. "I'm going to go in and call the queen's master, and let her come out to see you."

Wei Huanian stood up and called to her: "No need, just now a little girl has gone to the back hall to inform the queen mother."

Aunt Liusu stepped forward to cling to Wei Huanian's arm affectionately, looked her up and down and said, "I just watched the rain outside, the princess didn't get wet, right?"

"Of course not." Before Wei Huanian could speak, Wanqiu half-jokingly said, "Xiao Shunzi's father-in-law in the empress's palace has long prepared an umbrella and is waiting for our princess in front of the palace gate. Say yes, I heard that our princess is going to enter the palace, and seeing it raining, I couldn't bear to let her hair be drenched, so I waited in front of the palace gate for more than half an hour."

Aunt Liusu was taken aback, then laughed and cursed again: "This rascal is also a clever person, what about others?"

Wan Qiu replied: "Let's go pick up the sixth prince from school."

Aunt Liusu nodded after hearing that, and stopped mentioning that spooky little eunuch, and said to Wei Huanian with emotion: "Princess, you haven't been in the palace for a long time in the past few months, so you want to die as a servant."

Wei Huanian said: "Az has been suffering from a cold recently, it's just been a few days, I really can't get out."

Aunt Liu Su sighed: "Hey, Master Ah Z seems to be in poor health all the time, and you have worked hard."

Wei Huanian just smiled in relief: "I've gotten better recently, I can go out now."

"That's good, that's good!" Aunt Liusu suddenly became happy, and then asked with some worry: "I heard from the Queen's master that the family invited Doctor Sun to come over again today, but what's the matter with Master Ah Z's body? "

"Ah-z is in good health now, so don't worry about it. I'm looking for Doctor Sun to go to the house today because of another matter, the right and wrong, and I'll talk to you in detail when the horoscope is clear." Aunt Liusu Wei Huanian has always liked Ah Z, and Wei Huanian knows it.

Just speaking of this, Wei Huanian suddenly remembered that on the way into the palace just now, he caught a glimpse of the slender figure who huddled together with passers-by in the drizzle and misty crowd, clamoring to buy meat buns.

She squeezed in the crowd, she looked very weak, but her strength was astonishing, and she squeezed to the front in a short while.

At that moment, an idea suddenly appeared in Wei Huanian's mind.She is clearly dressed like a son of a wealthy family, but regardless of her status, she huddles together with all kinds of people, just to buy a basket of freshly cooked meat buns——

How delicious is this bun?Is it worth her pushing forward so recklessly?

"Long Live Lord has come here a few times in recent days and sent a lot of things to the Empress's womb," Aunt Liusu's voice was deliberately lowered, pulling Wei Huanian's thoughts back.

Wei Hua asked in a young voice, "Huh?" No wonder she was able to drink this year's new tea in Fengqi Palace, it seems that the emperor sent someone to bring it.

Since Concubine Chen's miscarriage of her second child, the emperor has not waited to see the queen.Regarding Concubine Chen's miscarriage, although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was the Empress Changsun who did it, after all, only the Empress was present at the time, so the emperor kept blaming the Empress. He hadn't set foot in the Fengqi Palace of the Empress Changsun for a long time.

But now they suddenly send things frequently, what is the reason?

"Hey!" Aunt Liusu sighed, "Long Live God wants the Queen's master to choose a son-in-law for you, so the Queen's master asked the wives to collect all the portraits of men of the right age, but who to choose, how can the Queen's master choose?" It’s up to the Lord to do it, but in the end, I don’t want the Lord Long Live to nod.”

Wei Huanian thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there anyone in your father's favor?"

Aunt Liusu shook her head, sighed and said, "The person Long Live is in love with has always been the same person from the beginning to the end!"

Wei Huanian knew in his heart that the son-in-law chosen by the current Emperor Tianshun for her was Feng Weizhi, the grandson of General Huwei Han Zhixin, the most powerful person in the dynasty.

"If you really don't like Mr. Feng, you can talk to her when the queen master comes out." Aunt Liusu said.

Wei Huanian shook his head lightly: "Father's will is here, so Empress Mother is also in trouble."

"This..." Aunt Liusu couldn't continue, leaving only a soft sigh.

Wei Huanian thought, this time he might not be able to escape.

Before that, whenever Emperor Tianshun asked her to give her a marriage, she was still able to excuse it by saying that Ah Z was not in good health and needed her to take care of him.

But at this juncture, Khitan may send troops to attack at any time, the veteran general who can lead troops to fight against the enemy, apart from her uncle Changsun Sheng, only Huwei General Han Tixin is left.

At this time, Sun Sheng, the veteran general who could compete with General Huwei, was kicked out of the court again, and he went to Lingnan as the county guard.If the Khitan came to attack this time, Emperor Tianshun would definitely use Han Fengxin to lead the army. In recent years, Han Fengxin has become arrogant and arrogant because of his favor.

And she, Wei Huanian, was Emperor Tianshun's bargaining chip to stabilize Han Tingxin.

She should have known a long time ago that she was born in the emperor's family, and no matter how much she tried to hide, what was supposed to come would come sooner or later.

No one can escape the past, just like the trajectory of fate that has been set for a long time.Emperor Tianshun is the one who controls fate, and everyone is just a pawn in his hand, who can play with it at will.

At this time, behind the screen of flowers, birds and fish, stood a beautiful woman.

There are strings of phoenix hairpins pinned to the woman's head, and she is wearing a purple-black phoenix robe, with phoenix patterns embroidered with gold thread on the chest, back, neckline, and cuffs, which looks graceful and luxurious.

Empress Changsun has been standing here for a long time, and she has obviously heard all the conversations between Liusu and Wei Huanian.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, how could she not know that Wei Huanian didn't want to marry?

But now that the war is imminent, the emperor is obviously determined to match Wei Huanian and Feng Weizhi.But the emperor didn't want to make it too obvious that the royal family wanted to marry General Han, and lose the majesty of the royal family, so she asked her to put together the portraits of the sons of other ministers' families.

Changsun loved her daughter dearly, but did not dare to disobey the imperial decree.Now she is becoming more and more speechless in front of the emperor, even if she wants to protect her daughter, she can't do it.

Mrs. Changsun sighed softly, pointed to the hollowed-out wooden barrel containing the scroll portrait, and told the maid beside her, "Take all these back to the princess and let her see if there is anything she likes. Just say I'm tired." , I won’t see her today.”

The little palace maid hurriedly replied: "Yes, servant girl is going right away."

After dinner, Zhou Jinyu went back to the east courtyard to rest in despair.

It was only half a cup of tea, and Zhou Xiaoshan had already sighed six or seven times listening to her.

Especially after Zhou Jinyu looked in the bronze mirror and examined her appearance for a while, Zhou Xiaoshan saw that her complexion became even worse, as if she wanted to cry.

Zhou Xiaoshan didn't dare to interrupt, and immediately stepped back to do other things.When he came back from a busy circle, he saw Zhou Jinyu still standing in front of the bronze mirror, touching his face while reciting some poems he didn't understand——

"I walked from the lake... It amazed your eyes."

"I am naturally beautiful... let your heart secretly agree."

"But, I, who is so clean and self-confident... how can I be worthy of you, who is so unrestrained?"

"Ah...! Ah...! Ah...!"

"Go...! Go...! Go...!"

Zhou Xiaoshan: "...?"

Eh?Isn't the young master crazy?Do you want to tell the old lady and madam now, and ask Dr. Zhou to come to the house to show him?

Zhou Xiaoshan twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked as expressionlessly as possible: "Fourth young master, are you still not resting?"

Zhou Jinyu seemed to be immersed in grief and couldn't hold back: "I can't sleep."

Zhou Xiaoshan persuaded: "It's getting late, you should take a rest."

Zhou Jinyu sighed melancholy at the candlestick on the table, and said, "Today's beautiful day is really suitable for reciting poems."

Zhou Xiaoshan spoke in his heart, is this a poem you are reading?Maybe it's a strange song from another folk tale book!

Zhou Xiaoshan said quickly: "Fourth young master, if you don't have other orders, I'll go back to sleep."

"Aren't you willing to listen to my poems? Then I will be sad." Zhou Jinyu blinked at Zhou Xiaoshan, his words were extremely earnest.

"..." Zhou Xiaoshan was almost deceived by her handsome face pretending to be pitiful, but in the end he refused very calmly: "No, the villain is a vulgar person, and I can't appreciate the young master's poems. You should read it to me, young master." Listen to yourself."

After Zhou Xiaoshan finished speaking, he fled in despair.

Before he escaped, Zhou Jinyu called him back and said: "Tomorrow morning, you go to the mansion of Prince Guining and call the little prince Sun Hao over, and tell him that I am going to be in trouble, and you have to talk to him about something important. Tell him He, if he doesn't come, maybe he won't be able to see me in this life!"

Zhou Xiaoshan was stunned when he heard her words, and replied: "Yes, I have written it down."

After Zhou Xiaoshan left, Zhou Jinyu locked the door, took off his robe and fell on the bed, very sleepy and powerless.

She didn't want to marry the eldest princess she had never met, nor was she interested in being a stepfather to a five-year-old son.

But if she married the eldest princess, it would be a shortcut for her to enter the court.She has been scheming for so long, isn't she just waiting for the day when she becomes an extremely human minister, and kills her enemies with her hands?

She opened her eyes, staring blankly at the pillars on the beam.

It was late at night, and perhaps a blind little moth had bumped into the lamp on the table.With the lights and shadows flickering, the pillars on the roof seemed to be twirling and laughing at her stupidity, and everything became unreal.
