New·New Consort

It was mid-winter, and in the Yanshan Mountains surrounded by mountains, a piece of vegetation withered. Walking in it, not long after, the thick clothes were soaked in the cold morning dew.

On the southeast side of the main peak of Yanshan Mountain, which is as high as [-] zhang, there is a cliff with a flat peak and a wide peak close to it, and the location of Jiexiantai is on this cliff.Its mountain shape facing south looks like a royal seat, and the high main peak blocks it from the howling northwest wind. No wonder the emperor took a fancy to it at first sight.

Thousands of craftsmen are building Jiexiantai in full swing in the cold of early winter. Because of the great change in shape, this place has not only built a platform, but also built a city on the top of this flat mountain.

Because of the thorough preparations in the early stage, and there are enough trees and stones in the mountain, but in just a few days, the entire shape can be seen.

A few people stood on the top of the mountain opposite the main peak, looking at the construction of Jiexiantai earnestly.

Among them, the only woman dressed in female attire is naturally Princess Tianxiang, with a slight annoyance on her face: "You really can't hide such a big fortification. I don't know that the desire to repair the immortal platform has failed. On the day of the winter solstice, there will be What kind of means did you use to deceive your father?"

Feng Suzhen said sternly: "The so-called method is to keep repeating what you are good at. Just think about the situation on the day of the Winter Clothes Festival. It is expected that on the day of the Winter Solstice, Yuxian may invite some fake immortals. He has already Under the pretense of Tsinghua Shangxian questioning His Royal Highness the crown prince's qualifications as the crown prince, I am afraid that he will intensify his efforts at the Winter Solstice Festival. Coupled with the words of Taibai Jingtian that day, I speculate that he wants to use the mouth of the fairy to change the crown prince!"

Zhang Shaomin said: "That's right. But I'm in charge of the Beijing camp now, and I'll search the Yanshan Mountains closely. I already know this place well, and I won't give him any chance to take advantage of it! Oh, I don't believe that he can really recruit the imperial guards." The empty Taishang Laojun and Taibaixing Lord. Even if they are recruited, I will let these two fake immortals show their original forms!"

Tianxiang bowed her head and thought to herself, in the previous life, Yuxian found someone who pretended to be the Taishang Laojun and planned to give the emperor the elixir.

At this time in the previous life, not only was the prince missing, but he was also completely unaware of his responsibilities.

At that time, everyone had no soldiers and no power in their hands, and they couldn't stop the Yuxian Gang's offensive, so they had to resort to tricks and pretended to be the queen mother on Jiexiantai to reprimand the emperor.It was also thanks to Zhang Shaomin who caught someone dressed as the Taishang Laojun near Jiexiantai, which made Tianxiang's plan of Li Daitao stiff to work.

It is expected that in this life, this matter will be better managed.

In this life, the Xiantai is completely in the hands of Tianxiang and others, and the prince has become the governor of the Xiantai. He does not avoid cowardice like in the previous life, but has a sense of responsibility, and is no longer a fish to be arranged by others.

Therefore, Tianxiang also agrees with Zhang Shaomin's important idea: as long as Yuxian cannot recruit immortals on the day of the winter solstice, all his plans will be in vain.

Tianxiang figured out the truth of this, so she didn't go into details to predict the behavior of Yuxian, and said disdainfully: "What the hell can he invite? The real Taibai Xingjun is our Mr. Song!"

The prince said with emotion: "Mr. Song, it is thanks to you that my father trusted me so much this time. If he hadn't believed in you, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let me build this Xiantai."

Song Changgeng lit up a tobacco leaf: "It's not difficult to win people's trust. As long as you convince him in one thing, he can easily be convinced in other aspects of you." He turned his head to Feng Suzhen who was wearing a black fur coat beside him. , and continued, "The son-in-law's design is exquisite. He taught me to hide my true heart when talking with the emperor, and to talk eloquently and carefully. He broke it apart and made him believe that I am also accomplished in this art of cultivating immortals and alchemy. This is more convincing to me."

"Of course, these are just anecdotes. The emperor is not the kind of person who can only listen to nice words. Think about it, this sand table and this mold for making modules have been designed and built by us for more than a month. The new The blueprint for receiving Sendai was also made by me when I was on patrol in Xuanda. The Yaodao just drew a random look, and he only knew how to use money to gain power. How could he think of the most real thing? things up?"

Zhang Shaomin smiled: "Prince, Mr. Song is telling you a big reason."

The prince heard it in a daze: "I seem to understand what you mean. This man, if he wants to succeed, he must not only have smooth skills, but also have real talents."

Song Changgeng smiled: "The crown prince is right, but you have to say it the other way around, you need to have talent first, then skills."

The prince repeatedly said yes.

Tianxiang didn't answer, she was the last person here who knew of Feng Suzhen and Zhang Shaomin's plans, when she saw the entire fortification of Xiantai, she was even more surprised than before.She recalled the time when she was pregnant, and said suspiciously: "Brother, didn't you have been studying the blueprints of firearms at that time, could it be that you have been lying to me?"

The crown prince glanced at Feng Suzhen and said, "Brother-in-law said, don't let me..."

Feng Suzhen snapped and said: "Princess thinks too much. At that time, Mr. Song was mainly responsible for taking over the new system of Xiantai, and the crown prince was indeed studying firearms."

Tianxiang gave her a supercilious look.

Zhang Shaomin rescued and said, "Princess, look at the terrain here."

Tianxiang didn't know and went in, looking down the mountain.

The new site of Jiexiantai is backed by the main peak, and there is a canyon in front of it. People have been passing here all the time, and it can be seen that there is a road leading to the distance in all directions.

Tianxiang was blessed to the heart, and suddenly realized: This place controls the north and south of the yoke, is the key to Yanshan, and the military must pass through: "You... are you building a north gate for the capital?"

Feng Suzhen smiled and said: "The firearms that the crown prince researched at that time was to equip this condescending immortal platform. Since His Majesty's Sacred Heart is hard to stop, it is better to turn waste into treasure and make this immortal platform a useful place."

Seeing that Tianxiang was still rolling her eyes at her, Feng Suzhen had no choice but to say, "The main reason is that I can't make up my mind. I don't know if this ridiculous platform used to receive immortals can be changed into a fortress to defend the city. That's why I haven't told you clearly. I didn't expect that Mr. Song not only changed it, but also chose such a geomantic treasure, and really persuaded the emperor." She bowed deeply to Mr. Song with some emotion, "Thanks to Mr. , so that I will not lose face in front of the princess."

Seeing this, Tianxiang didn't want to give her any more face, and accompanied her to salute Song Changgeng.

Song Changgeng shook his head, lit another pack of cigarettes, and said slowly: "Princess, son-in-law, I should thank you all."

"When I was young, I was proud and arrogant. When I was white, I wrote eloquent policies for governing the country, and I wanted to present them to the emperor at that time. Later, I realized: so many scholars, so many noble sons who once crossed the Dragon Gate, Which one is not better than my insight? Which one is not more flexible than my thinking? I have written so many strategies for governing the country, from farmland to military administration, and piles of methods, which one of them can’t think of it? But, it just can’t be carried out, isn’t it? They are stupid, but they don't want to think about it or do it. And I, a white scholar, don't have the right to do it. In this vanity fair, the relationship is complicated and intertwined; , at the expense of public and private interests."

"After I figured it out, my heart became cold, so I started to write "Heavenly Creation", which only describes the study of practical knowledge that does not need to calculate people's hearts. What I have learned. Prince, the so-called achievements are just like people drinking water, knowing whether they are warm or not."

Feng Suzhen had a feeling in her heart, and said with emotion: "So a gentleman is harmonious but not familial; strong is correct. Strong and correct—Mr. has this ambition to save the country and benefit the world, and he is worthy of being a true gentleman."

She turned to the prince and said, "Whether it's Confucianism or practical learning, the goal of benefiting the world can be achieved by different routes. Prince, you should know that your hobbies are different from the absurd behavior of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. The position of prince does not conflict, on the contrary, because you are prince, you can study your hobbies to the extreme."

The prince looked thoughtfully at the Jiexian Terrace on the opposite side, and said very seriously: "I think, maybe one day, my wooden bird will be able to fly on the Jiexian Terrace."

The crowd laughed.

Song Changgeng and the crown prince both stayed in the northern suburbs for the sake of supervisors, and Zhang Shaomin also stayed here to protect them.After all, it was the midwinter season, and the start of construction in the mountains alarmed many hibernating beasts.

Zhang Shaomin's patrolling here is actually more serious than that of Huailai. Fortunately, no wild beasts hurt anyone.

Zhang Shaomin sent Tianxiang and his wife to the carriage, and sent a guard to them.

"Master Zhang, why are you doing this?" Feng Suzhen was a little surprised, "It is enough for us to have these soldiers."

"The son-in-law doesn't know something," Zhang Shaomin said solemnly, "A few days ago, a man claimed to have seen a white tiger in the forest."

Feng Suzhen gasped: "Tiger? This place is well-traveled, and Yanshan hasn't seen any tigers for many years. It's just a coincidence that a tiger appears at this time, and it's still a white tiger."

Tianxiang wondered, "What happened to the white tiger?"

Zhang Shaomin sighed: "The white tiger is considered a vision. If you catch it, it's okay. If you can't catch it, I'm afraid there will be something to say. Not to mention Yuxian, even Yushitai can make up a lot of excuses to criticize the emperor." "He said again, "but don't worry, Princess Consort. I suppressed the news and sent someone to fight the tiger. The prince has gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, so how can he be easily defeated by the tiger? Got it?"

The three chatted for a few more words, and seeing that it was getting late, they parted ways.

Looking at the building construction behind him, Tianxiang suddenly felt something, and asked Feng Suzhen, "Which one is more worthy of your respect, Mr. Song or Prime Minister Liu?"

Feng Suzhen thought for a while and replied: "They are all indispensable people in this country."

Tianxiang was speechless, looking towards the rolling mountains outside the window, and faintly saw a wild animal looking for food from the desolate forest, she immediately put down the curtain, went back to the car and sat down.

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "The princess is afraid of encountering a tiger? Wasn't she very brave in Miaozhou?"

"The tiger in Miaozhou has no teeth, but the tigers here have sharp teeth and sharp mouths and are still hungry!" Tian Xiang shrank her shoulders.

Feng Suzhen laughed twice, and subconsciously patted Tianxiang's hand: "Don't be afraid, with me here, tigers can't eat you—"

Tianxiang was startled, and turned to look at Feng Suzhen, but saw that she turned her face away, as if she was looking at the pattern on the inner wall of the carriage.

Shan Shiwen, who was driving in front of him, accosted, "The son-in-law is right, don't worry, the princess! The tiger will be full after eating the son-in-law first, and won't eat the princess."

Heavenly fragrance and joy.

Feng Suzhen couldn't help but said, "Why don't I eat you first?"

Shan Shiwen said: "The tiger is the king of all beasts, and it is so precious! The son-in-law's face is like a crown jade, with thin skin and tender meat. It tastes delicious at first glance, don't you think so, princess?"

Feng Suzhen blushed, but Tianxiang said unwillingly: "You mean that tigers will dislike me?"

Shan Shiwen said: "The princess is the son of the phoenix and the grandson of the dragon, she is much more powerful than a tiger!"

No matter how Tianxiang heard it, she felt something was wrong.

Perhaps because of the cold wind blowing in the mountains during the day, Feng Suzhen actually developed a cold at night, toothache, throat ache and chills all over the body, and she was a little listless.

Tianxiang became anxious immediately: "I'll call the imperial doctor—"

"No need—" Feng Suzhen knew that her body was affected by too much thinking recently, so she hurriedly supported herself up, "Princess forgot, I am a half-doctor myself. It's just that my heartstrings have been too tense recently, and suddenly Loose, the wind and cold invaded the body. It’s okay, I’ll make a prescription for myself later..."

Tianxiang thought that Feng Suzhen's heartstrings had been stretched for more than half a year, and suddenly felt distressed, and immediately approached her worriedly, and suddenly pressed her forehead against hers.

Feng Suzhen was taken aback.

Tianxiang murmured: "It's not very hot, it should be that there is no fever."

At this time, the two breathed and heard each other, and they were so close, as if they couldn't be closer.

Tianxiang's eyes reflected her own, and her little face, which was both happy and angry, was full of concern and worry.

Feng Suzhen suddenly had an impulse in her heart, wanting to hug Tianxiang just like that.

Two people are always warmer than one.

She held back, leaned back a little, and said with a smile, "It's just the wind and cold, it's not that serious." She paused, "I caught the wind and cold, the princess should go to the guest room to rest tonight, don't let me get sick Qi. Recently, we have spread out many things, and Yuxian must find various opportunities to get involved in Sendai. It is enough for one of us to be sick."

Recently, Tianxiang is very sensitive to Feng Suzhen's constant use of the word "we". Hearing this, she immediately straightened up and told Xinger to prepare the guest room kindly.

Tianxiang said: "I'll help you ask for leave from the officials tomorrow. You should rest well and don't worry too much. If you have anything to say to Zhang Shaomin, let Shan Shiwen run errands. This guy used to be a dandy in Beijing, so he must It's something in the capital that can't help him."

Feng Suzhen smiled when she thought of Shan Shiwen: "Thirty Wen is quick-witted and reliable in his work, but he always likes to make fun of me."

Tianxiang smiled and said, "That's because you are funny, so you can make jokes."

Tianxiang ordered the palace servants to add more bedding and braziers, and before leaving, she stretched out her hand to touch Feng Suzhen's forehead worriedly, and after confirming that she was safe, she went to the guest room to go to bed in peace.

Feng Suzhen was half suffering from the wind and cold, and partly because she was restless, tossing and turning with her eyes open.

Tianxiang's concern for herself is very real, even surpassing the difference between men and women.

Frank and frank, without artificiality.

Perhaps, it was because "Feng Shaomin", a somewhat capable champion man, was a respectable man in Tianxiang's eyes...

As for myself, it may be because I have been terrified under this clothes for too long that I am extremely dependent on this care and value, and then have a great affection for Tianxiang.

Ah, I finally understand...

Feng Suzhen was a little relieved.

But she frowned again in an instant, thinking what's the use of this! ?

Duh, I know it but I don't know what to do, Li Zi!

At dawn, Feng Suzhen finally closed her eyes: "You should restrain yourself and stay away...Feng Suzhen, it's fine for you to be absurd, but you can't implicate Tianxiang and your absurdity..."

Feng Suzhen's illness fell like a mountain, and she didn't recover for several days.Although it is not so lingering on the sick bed, it still affects the spirit very much. He looks sluggish every day, and he is listless when he goes to the official department.Tianxiang couldn't bear Nanny Zhuang's repeated nagging, so she had to invite the imperial physician to treat Feng Suzhen.

Feng Suzhen said calmly: "That's fine, I just happen to have something to ask the imperial physician. Then please trouble the imperial physician to come and have a private talk with me. The others will step back for now."

The imperial doctor entered the room and took his pulse for a long time. When he came out, he faltered and said: "It's not a serious illness, it's just a cold due to yang deficiency. In recent days, it is better for the princess son-in-law to sleep in a separate room. Even if the son-in-law is sick If you recover, you should pay more attention, it is best to wait until the winter is over... and then sleep together."

Tianxiang pondered for a long time before she came to her senses. Most likely, this person didn't even know her pulse, and Feng Suzhen was talking nonsense again relying on her medical skills.

Nanny Zhuang followed the doctor's orders very faithfully, staring at Tianxiang every night and going to sleep in the guest room, and she rarely comforted her very considerately: "Princess, you have been married for less than a year, so don't be in a hurry, be too careful, kill the chicken and get the eggs."

Tianxiang was speechless.

Tianxiang applied for a leave of absence from the Ministry of Officials for Feng Suzhen, but not long after she rested, someone came to her door.

Chen Ge looked at the furnishings of the princess mansion with a smile, and said with a little envy: "My son-in-law, I also want to lie down in the mansion like you, and hide for a while."

Feng Suzhen said with a smile: "Chen Ge is an old dragon and a tiger, how can he be as weak as Shao Min, Chen Ge always laughs at him."

The two exchanged a few words, and seeing Tianxiang standing aside with a displeased expression, and Mr. Chen Ge couldn't continue to make detours, they directly stated their intentions.

Chen Ge said: "In our cabinet, there is a lack of Zhongshu Sheren. We need someone with less seniority, but with a strong status. I think about it, I am afraid that only the son-in-law can afford it. It's just that the former It is not possible to have concurrent positions, I wonder if the consort can discuss with the emperor, it does not abolish the errands of the Ministry of Officials, but just pick and choose," he added, "Although this official position is not big, but entering as a consort, In fact, it is no different from joining the cabinet. After a few years, when the time is right, I am afraid that I will be able to directly become a bachelor."

Feng Suzhen doubted: "There should be no shortage of Sheren in the cabinet, right?" This Zhongshu Sheren sounds powerful, but in fact, it is from the position of the seventh rank, who just assists the elders in copying documents and drafting edicts.

Old Chen Ge shook his head again and again: "My son-in-law, you don't know, since Liu...Liu Tao left, the cabinet has been out of balance, noisy for three days, and no one can stop it... Now this season is not good. Then choose someone to join the cabinet, so I thought, find someone who has the heart and ability to live, and play a balancing role."

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "Why is there no one? Isn't there a Prime Minister Yuxian?"

Old Chen Ge curled his lips: "He's just a shelf, he doesn't understand shit! He just knew how to find officials for those gangsters under him. A while ago, he drew up a long list and wanted to block officials wantonly, and this is paid off. Got it? A few of us beat him back at that time, and later, he wanted to give him the title of ninth-rank official in the locality for those twelve sub-rudder masters. He also said that the quarrels in the cabinet every day are because of bad Fengshui, which provoked bad tongues, and it is better to change the position and direction!"

Tian Xiang, who had been standing beside her with a sullen face, laughed loudly regardless of her image.

Feng Suzhen laughed a few times and said: "I'm afraid that the job of dealing with the elders is not suitable for me. But I know someone, Mr. Chen Ge might as well go to him. If Mr. Chen thinks it's not bad, I will go Find the emperor to clear it up."

Tianxiang suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Feng Suzhen spit out Li Zhaoting's name lightly.

After Chen Ge left, Tianxiang began to moan and whine: "Oh, our son-in-law is really a good man who repays grievances with kindness. That crow's mouth has bullied you so much, and you still help him find a job."

Feng Suzhen smiled and said, "Brother Li bullied me?"

Tianxiang began to denounce Li Zhaoting like a treasure.

It started when Li Zhaoting broke in drunk and reckless when the two were just married, until he yelled at Feng Suzhen at Liu Tao's mansion a while ago.

Feng Suzhen was surprised: "Princess, did you prepare a small notebook to record Brother Li's daily life? It seems that the princess should be the person in charge of the bookstore. He has a good brain and oral skills, and no one can mess with him." He is a good hand at giving up his identity."

Tianxiang frowned and said, "Are you serious?"

Seeing Tianxiang's expression, Feng Suzhen seemed to be really eager to try, and hurriedly said: "No, princess, you are an aristocrat, you can't do this kind of thing. If you sit in the cabinet, I'm afraid no one will be able to handle the job steadfastly. "

Tianxiang thought it was right, and said: "Then I also think that crow's mouth is not good."

Feng Suzhen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if he is good or not, as long as he can afford this position, isn't it? He is Liu Xiang's son-in-law, and he is popular among elders in the court. Liu Xiang has many acquaintances. Walking in the hall will at least give him some face." She got up to find a pen and ink, and was about to draft a memorial for the emperor.

"But you are the No. [-] pick, and he is the No. [-] pick. If you say you can't make it, he will make it? Could it be that the No. [-] pick is more capable than the No. [-] pick?" Tianxiang changed her strategy, favoring one and stepping down the other.

Feng Suzhen was very useful, she straightened her body and said with a smile: "Princess, in the 300 years of the previous dynasty, there were more than a hundred champions. Zhang Juzheng, who was praised as the number one able official in the previous dynasty, was Zhang Juzheng who was born as a Jinshi. But the sage Yang Minggong, whose father was a number one scholar, was far inferior to his literary and martial arts. It can be seen that the number one in writing is not necessarily the number one in politics.”

Tianxiang has been in politics for ten years, she naturally understands this truth, but she has had two lifetimes of enmity with Li Zhaoting, and she despises Li Zhaoting to death and life, and she still refuses to listen to Feng Suzhen's flamboyance, shaking her head violently. The rattle is average.

Feng Suzhen was very patient, and easily supported Tianxiang's shoulders. Seeing that her hair was a little messed up, she couldn't help smiling, and stretched out her hand to tuck her loose hair behind her ears: "Brother Zhao Ting came from the Shangshu Mansion He is the one who knows how to deal with these elders, if it is not for his family's downfall..."

Tianxiang lived two lifetimes, but she didn't know that her cold fingertips could actually burn people.

She couldn't hear what Feng Suzhen said later, she just felt that her ears were numb after being touched just now, and her face was burning hot: "Forget it, since you think that crow's mouth is competent, it should be him. You If you are still sick, don't waste your time talking to your father, I will just go to him and act like a baby."

Feng Suzhen bowed and thanked in a similar manner: "Then I would like to thank the princess for her kindness."

Sure enough, Tianxiang went to the emperor to grind her lips, and issued an imperial edict, and Li Zhaoting added the title of Zhongshu Sheren, still holding the post of the Ministry of Rites, and went to Wenyuan Pavilion for a walk.

Not to mention, apart from Li Zhaoting's inability to speak well to Feng Suzhen, he is really a genius who only pleases the elders.A few days after he went there, the cabinet, which had been beating around for a long time, finally settled down.

Time passed slowly, Jiexiantai was being built in full swing, but Yuxian seemed to have disappeared for a while, without any obvious moths.Feng Suzhen was recuperating from her illness in peace, just playing the piano and studying every day, and her life was like a painting.

Apart from spending time with Feng Suzhen in the mansion every day, Tian Xiang took Xiao Hua'er into the palace several times to chat with Concubine Ju.For some reason, Concubine Ju became much more enthusiastic than before, and the two of them chatted, but they really made an appointment for a scene.

The two women acted resolutely, and Director Wang sent people to Laifulou to appoint a team to sing in the palace that day.

Feng Suzhen was bored in the mansion for a long time, and her illness was almost cured. Hearing what Tianxiang said, she immediately expressed that she would go to the palace to listen to the opera.

It was a day with sporadic snowfall, Tianxiang thought about Feng Suzhen's illness, and added clothes to her left and right, until it bulged into a ball.

Feng Suzhen looked at herself in the mirror, sighed again and again, and begged softly for a while, but she couldn't move Tianxiang's heart of stone: "You are going to the palace to ride a horse, so what if you have typhoid fever? Want to go out to watch a theater?" , you can only dress like this!"

Feng Suzhen had no choice but to go out aggressively.

Seeing Feng Suzhen's swaying gait, Madam Zhuang felt inappropriate, but Tao'er agreed with Tianxiang's decision: "My son-in-law looks like an official now!"

Tianxiang was triumphant.

When a group of female family members were about to go out in the car, Shan Shiwen trotted in, and said with a smile on his face, "Princess, the son-in-law is not going to the horse!"

Feng Suzhen, who has practiced martial arts for many years, felt that this was a great shame and humiliation.

But in the end, Feng Suzhen still couldn't take off even a layer of jacket, and entered the palace in the carriage driven by Shan Shiwen with downcast eyes.

The author has something to say:

About Li Zhaoting... Well, I just wrote it casually, so everyone can just read it casually...

His image has been deviated and can't be turned back, and he has been deviated all the way from the TV series.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know martial arts, but in terms of ability, he was forced to use the skills of fortune teller and dancing god, as well as the skill of drinking too much and playing crazy. In the end, Liu Qian forcibly sacrificed herself for Feng Suzhen.In such a setting, it is wrong for him to be dedicated, wrong to be passionate, wrong to empathize, wrong to be stubborn, wrong to be hard-hearted, no matter what he does is wrong.

Well, the only road left for him to whitewash is death.However, the worst thing is that even if he dies, he will be dismissed as an incompetent good-for-nothing...

Truly the most unpopular male lead in history...

It's not like our sweet-scented osmanthus was favored by screenwriters from the very beginning. She is also a princess, rich, martial arts, and has a special personality...

It is not wrong to be lily for so many years.

In "Love", the teacher-student relationship with soft light special effects, white moonlight, broken back, pity for the person in front of him, beauty, life, Mr. Qin's treatment is much better than that of Li Zhaoting...
