Prince Xiu Xian Ji

Chapter 2 Stunning Beauty

Feng Mingming returned to Fengjun Palace with a blushing face, and Dong Mei said: "Where did you go for a long time?" After finishing speaking, she saw Feng Mingming's eyes rolling, her face was shy, and her dress was a little messy.Hastily waved away the left and right Gong'e, and said angrily in a low voice: "Not kneeling yet."

Feng Mingming hastily interrupted: "Madam, don't be angry because of the maidservant. The maidservant just went to pick some willow leaves, intending to make tea for the lady and drink it fresh. It's really not intentional laziness."

Dong Mei said angrily: "Who told you this! Your clothes are disheveled, what the hell is going on?"

Feng Mingming's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

Seeing this, Dong Meiren hurriedly said: "If you don't tell me, I'll call someone here, just to let people know about my people and eunuchs... Huh, it's just to lose face, you can just—" After finishing speaking, Feng Mingming said anxiously: "There are no servants!"

She cried softly: "The servant girl met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when she was picking willow leaves. The Crown Prince, the Crown Prince..."

Dong Meiren was taken aback. She just took a look at the prince from a distance in the afternoon. Although she couldn't see clearly, she felt that the prince was unparalleled in style. Unexpectedly... Sure enough, a man can't escape his beauty.She feigned anger and said, "Don't lie, you are the one who can slander the prince!"

Feng Mingming's face was flushed: "How can a servant make fun of her innocence?"

Dong Meiren thought, since Feng Mingming is already the Crown Prince's person, it is better to send her directly to the East Palace, so that when His Majesty comes to Fengjun Palace again, he will not be afraid to suddenly see Feng Mingming, and he can form a good relationship with the East Palace, so she said : "Then why don't I have someone send you to the East Palace, the prince may not be able to speak directly."

Feng Mingming was secretly overjoyed, and said with hesitation on his face, "This...may not be good for the prince's reputation."

Dong Meiren didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of, I just say that Qingling, the court lady next to the prince, likes you for your ability and diligence."

Feng Mingming nodded and said, "It's all up to the lady."

Feng Mingming followed the eunuch and walked all the way to the East Palace. Although she was uneasy, she felt that with her appearance and the two encounters in the afternoon, the prince must have remembered her.In this way, the prince will definitely accept himself smoothly.

At the beginning, it was said that she was helping Concubine Xu Ning, but she has been in the palace for five years, and she is already eighteen, and she has never even met Concubine Xu Ning, so she is not betraying her master now.As for the family, as long as she gets the crown prince's favor, can she still get out of the Xu family?

She had seen Qing Ling next to the prince by chance, and that maid was just as her name suggests, light and graceful, but so far she hadn't heard any gossip, obviously the prince didn't like girls like Qing Ling.And her beauty is exactly the opposite of Qing Ling.

Even if the prince didn't like it at first, I believe that the two encounters today are enough to change the prince's opinion.

Besides, hearing that the crown prince is still kind to the vulgar palace servants, he will definitely not have the heart to let him go back.

She took a deep breath and tried to make herself look dignified and unhurried.

Qing Ling said to Tai Yuan in surprise: "The servant of Dong Meiren whispered to the servant that the girl who happened twice in the afternoon was given to the servant. Your Highness, what does he mean by that?"

"Twice in the afternoon?" Tai Yuan closed his eyes and meditated, "You know her?"

Qing Ling hurriedly said: "There are a lot of things going on in the East Palace every day, how can the slaves have the time to know her."

Taiyuan said: "Since you don't know her, maybe that girl has misunderstood the person. There are also two or three people in the palace who are similar in appearance. Send her to Yeting. If there is a palace woman who has been with her twice in the afternoon, go there. Ye Ting just led her out. Gentlemen don't take away beauty, Qingling, you should treat her as a predestined couple and send her there yourself."

Qingling complied, bowed and withdrew.

At this time, Zuo Qingquan opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the maid's color is indeed eye-catching, and I don't know which family paid the money. Could it be that they only want to tarnish Your Highness's reputation?"

Taiyuan laughed and said: "There are thousands of people who love beauty in ancient times, how could their reputation be tarnished. The fear is that she is the maid of the beauties in the father's palace. As long as the father thinks about how Gu met her It is very tricky. Besides, who is behind her? However, this matter is not like the work of a concubine." He sighed, "Okay, the orphan was led astray by you, how did she It's one thing, it doesn't matter, go and get a cup of herbal tea."

Feng Mingming was stunned. She felt that the prince was completely different from the gentle and jade-like man she saw in the afternoon.How could he belittle himself to go to court?I especially remember that once the emperor came to Fengjun Palace and occasionally saw his side face flashing past the window, his eyes were amazed.If she didn't think the emperor was too dark and old, how could Dong Meiren's clumsy defenses prevent her from getting the emperor's favor.

But... why is the prince, the prince so hard-hearted? Could it be that his appearance is not worthy of him?

No!Won't.

She just wanted to say, "I want to see..."

He was knocked unconscious by Qingling with a knife in his hand.

As for whether to see the crown prince or the emperor, Qing Ling had no time to listen. There were many big and small things in the East Palace, so Zuo Qingquan would just hide with His Highness all day long, so there was no hope for him.

That night, the main concubine in the palace quickly found out about this secret, not mentioning that Dong Meiren was going around in circles, not getting the point, and said that the second prince, who was three times in a row, became angry for a while, and said angrily: "Two or three people in the palace who are similar? He This means that I am still talking about the father, there is no one else in this palace who is similar to him except for his little boy!"

Concubine Wu Shun hurriedly said: "Quiet! How can you arrange your royal father? The crown prince is on par with your appearance, but my son is just darker. However, the crown prince has always been contemptuous. This court lady must be so beautiful to fall into his eyes." .”

The second prince snorted and said: "He didn't like it. Whoever takes a fancy to a person will get him to Yeting. It's also that the court lady has no eyes, whoever she likes is not good, she just likes him."

Concubine Wu Shun sighed: "At the beginning, I only thought about a child with a yellow mouth, but I can finally relax. Who would have thought that he would grow up to this day, and make my son ashamed today."

Thinking of today's archery incident, the second prince's face became hot, but he couldn't tell it was so dark, he said indignantly: "What are you doing mentioning this! I've finished my meal, so I'm leaving." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Concubine Wu Shun knew her son was ashamed, so she didn't stop him, she just told him: "Don't think about it at night, go to bed early."

The second prince said, "Understood." He had disappeared.

Concubine Xu Ning was not as calm as Concubine Wu Shun. Feng Mingming was sent in by her family. At first she thought she was too young, so there was no use for her. Later, Concubine Feng Mingming grew more and more demonic, and Concubine Xu Shun didn't like her coquettish attitude , so she didn't use her lightly, but she didn't want to make her own way today.

What did she want to do when she went to the East Palace?informer?I'm afraid she has no evidence, or is she just trying to climb high?

It's just that she deserves to be damned, she made a good move and ran to Yeting by herself before making a move.

If His Majesty hadn't liked the "innocent and lovely" Xiaojiabiyu now, she would have moved Feng Mingming a long time ago, and she wouldn't have let that idiot Dong Meiren fold a pawn into it.

This Dong Meiren didn't know where her brain was born. How could the prince want the girl of his father's woman? He is not a person who can walk in the mud by himself.

Someone has to lead him slowly.

The third prince said slowly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince will be crowned soon, and he will definitely enter the court after the crowning ceremony. Should we hurry up?"

Concubine Xu Ning said: "Although this Feng Mingming is useless, there are still countless Feng Mingming. Although his weight in the emperor's heart is a bit tricky, but a prince who has no mother's teaching and restraint, will be in the highest position for a long time. ruined him."

But the third prince said: "That's a bit too slow, if he visits Dabao one day...be ruthless, and put him...for example—" He had two words in his mouth.

witchcraft.

Or, he thought, treason.

Concubine Xu Ning suddenly said sharply: "Shut up." She rubbed her chest, took a deep breath, and said, "Take your thoughts back! Even if you can pull him down like this, what about you? You think you can be safe and sound?" Get away?"

"Then..." Concubine Xu Ning gritted her teeth, "Once that kind of thing starts, no one can predict the outcome. Our Majesty is not old yet, and he is only in his forties now! The crown prince is not yet married, how can he believe it! Even if you believe it, don't forget, there is still a second child on the top, and the fourth child below is already 15 years old, and he is only two years younger than you!"

The third prince said calmly: "However, we have a queen mother, she is not only my grandmother, but also your aunt. I also have the blood of the Xu family. As for the fourth child, his mother's family is weak and cannot be used. The rest are younger than me When there are fifteen or sixteen-year-old milk dolls, and they can run and jump, I'm afraid I'm already in control."

Concubine Xu Ning snorted coldly and said, "The queen mother? Can the queen mother be reliable, and I'm still the concubine Shun? Concubine Li Gui and Concubine Wu Shun are just decorations? Wake up, you have to rely on the emperor's favor to get that position. For such a big matter, he will Don’t notice it, don’t care about it? Just a little bit of air leakage will cause the entire Golden Palace to collapse!”

The third prince compromised: "Then what should the empress say?"

Concubine Xu Ning persuaded: "Beauty, power, money, these three things, even if he doesn't love them, others will not disbelieve them, because most people in the world love them. They will think, the prince If you don’t love these things, is he a saint? Or does he have some unreliable faults?”

The third prince said: "It's just that it takes some hard work."

Concubine Xu Ning smiled and said: "Don't be afraid of being slow, as long as it works. Speaking of which, this Feng Mingming can be regarded as asking for directions. It only seems that the Emperor of Japan cares about this matter, and how he cares about it. Who will win the deer, it is not yet known."

The emperor didn't care about this matter, he didn't even take it to heart, now he was only worried about the candidate for the crown princess, he felt that there were some disadvantages in any of them, so he had to pick the one who barely looked at it.The emperor was planning to go to the queen mother to bring these ladies into the palace to have a look, when he heard the chief eunuch Chen An report: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is here."

The emperor hurriedly said, "Let Yuan'er in quickly."

Seeing that Taiyuan was only wearing a dark red homely dress, the emperor asked, "Why doesn't Yuan'er wear that purple embroidered golden python pattern suit that was just made?"

Tai Yuan said helplessly: "Royal Father, those clothes are too complicated, it's a bit extravagant to wear like this on weekdays."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Since it's all done, I'll wear it to show my father tomorrow. This is a drawing drawn by my father himself. I don't know if I have finished it well."

While Taiyuan responded, he took out a cup of warm tea from the special food box as usual, Chen An took over, and first used a small silver spoon to put two spoonfuls of tea soup into the silver cup, and he drank it first. After one or two o'clock, the emperor picked up the tea and drank it down.

After the emperor finished drinking, he recalled: "Yuan'er's tea art is really superb, but it's a pity that he only has one cup a day. It's really troublesome to make tea and mysteriously burn incense and bathe."

Taiyuan laughed and said: "Who made my father drink it all in one go? What's more, didn't my father say that it is not good to drink tea without burning incense for bathing? All things have spirits, and only sincerity can do it."

The emperor waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, I am very sincere now. I just hope that my son can grow up soon."

Taiyuan said: "Has the person chosen as the father already been decided?"

The emperor said: "It's not that easy, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I plan to let your imperial grandmother call ladies into the palace and hold a flower viewing banquet. First, take a look at it. Then pick out a few to accompany the queen mother to relieve boredom, mostly in the palace. Only after staying for a few days can we see whether it is good or bad."

Taiyuan smiled and said, "Father really thinks carefully."

The emperor vicissitudes said: "Oh, parents should think more, and you will know Yuan'er in the future."

Taiyuan suppressed a smile, and replied: "Well, my son is only waiting for good news from my father."
