Chapter 222 Palace Gathering
After a while, the second prince came with his mother, Concubine Yuan. A cold light flashed in Queen Chen's eyes. The second prince, Feng Ji Wang, was also setting up a mansion outside. Before coming today, he went to the concubine's palace to talk to mother and son, and then came together.
.
Qin Feng saw that the noble concubine was quite delicate, her behavior was full of feminine charm, and she was more feminine than the upright queen.
It is not unreasonable for this woman to be ranked first among the four concubines, but Emperor Yuan only had a social smile in his eyes. Qin Feng met Xiao Lingtang's eyes, smiled slightly, stood up and saluted, he had not forgotten what happened a while ago.
Duan Duan's new product launch conference was almost disrupted by someone sent by the second prince, who actually pretended to be the prince's subordinate. This trick was used to throw dirt on the prince who was still banned from the East Palace, and started a plan to alienate the prince.
Xiao Lingyao and Qin Feng were naturally calm, but Concubine Na Yuan was extremely affectionate when she saw Xiao Lingyao. She held her hand and smiled and said: "Princess Jinhua has become more and more beautiful after her wedding. It shows that the husband and wife are very affectionate. You and your wife are like this.
Your Majesty will feel at ease."
"The imperial concubine is joking," Xiao Lingyao pretended to be shy, glanced at Qin Feng from the corner of her eye, and said with a smile on her lips: "By the way, I heard that the second emperor brother went to the Ministry of Revenue to take up a position?"
Qin Feng chuckled in his heart, Xiao Lingyao is also a vengeful person, and the things that disrupted the situation last time will indeed be found today. It is common for princes to go to the Sixth Department for training. It has always been the case in the previous dynasty. This household department is a big fat cadre, and the suppression
Like gangsters.
If nothing had happened to the former prince, he would have been the one to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. As soon as he was banned, he took advantage of the second prince. Xiao Lingyao's seemingly ordinary words made Empress Chen and Concubine Yuan freeze at the same time.
Xiao Lingtang's eyes fell lightly on Xiao Lingyao's face. He had known that this imperial sister was not an economical lamp, otherwise how could An be safe and sound under the Queen's nose?
Territory, land, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters are handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is a real money bag.
When Xiao Lingtang went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he would not be able to become a minister, but he would just do odd jobs and study with the minister. Even so, he could make several other princes jealous. The queen was indeed displeased after hearing this, and the smile on her lips was no longer appropriate.
Xiao Lingyao didn't seem to notice it. After finishing speaking, she forgot and looked outside the hall: "Why hasn't today's protagonist arrived yet?"
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows in his heart, she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. The protagonist, the Queen and His Majesty were still here. Who dared to play the role of protagonist?!
If the third prince, mother and son were here, they would be so angry with her again. Qin Feng Yipin thought about the fact that the third prince was exposed by Guo Shitong a while ago and had placed the eyes and ears in the princess mansion. Xiao Lingyao was waiting for an opportunity to retaliate again.
Therefore, when the third prince Xiao Linghui and his mother, Concubine Xian, entered the Kunning Palace, they found that the atmosphere was quite delicate. The mother and son exchanged glances and asked Emperor Yuan and Empress Chen to make peace.
Xiao Linghui took off his armor, and the injuries on his face were obvious. His arms seemed to be inconvenient. He didn't know whether the injury was serious or not. But if he was injured, how could he not sell it in front of Emperor Yuan? Qin Feng felt like later generations, he had to work overtime.
The boss saw it.
Although the Concubine Xian was given the title Xian, she herself was very handsome and looked like a hero among women. She was worthy of being a general. If you look closely, Xiao Linghui and Guo Shitong are somewhat similar, but Xiao Linghui is much more handsome than Guo Shitong.
Emperor Yuan had already rewarded the mother and son, and didn't say much at this time. Empress Chen's eyes were getting more and more burning. The second and third princes were both thorns in her side, but each got their own benefits. Only her biological son was still banned.
Play everywhere.
The only person who could make her feel more comfortable was the fourth prince Xiao Lingyu. Qin Feng was also very interested in this inconspicuous and completely disadvantaged fourth prince. His mother was from a humble background, and he was lucky enough to be able to do so by chance.
Enter the palace.
Hearing that the fourth prince's biological mother looked similar to Xiao Lingyao's biological mother made Emperor Yuan fall in love after drinking. Unfortunately, Qin Feng did not see Concubine Shu, and Xiao Lingyu came alone. Among the four princes, only this one had the most similar appearance to Xiao Lingyao.
When Xiao Lingyu came in, he greeted him and apologized, saying that his mother and concubine were unwell and had to be absent. No one cared about this.
It can be seen from this that this concubine Shu really has no status in the palace. However, when she saw Xiao Lingyao, Xiao Lingyu's eyes lit up. The two were obviously much closer. They were close in age and looked like brothers and sisters standing together.
Emperor Yuan's eyes swept across their faces, and for some reason there was a trace of regret in his eyes. Qin Feng tasted them, feeling horrified.
Could it be that Emperor Yuan regretted that Xiao Lingyao's biological mother failed to give him a son?
Everyone took their seats, and the imperial kitchen tried its best today. Especially when they heard that the consort was also coming to the palace, everyone cheered up.
Who asked this person to build Yuchun Tower to the highest level among the people? This doubled the pressure on the imperial kitchen, lest the prince-in-law would be displeased in the banquet and make things difficult for them.
One after another carefully prepared dishes were served on the table. Although it was considered a family banquet, there was no sitting around the table. It was just like an official banquet where everyone sat down individually.
Qin Feng was so happy. He and Xiao Lingyao were sitting at the same table at the bottom. From his point of view, he could just see the East Palace. He couldn't help but secretly laugh. Among the people sitting here, the queen must be the most worried.
Let’s not talk about the fourth prince’s mother and concubine. They are seeking to be pure and can’t come. I can’t think of the reason behind it. She knows she is a fake. Xiao Lingyao is here today. She will not come to hinder Emperor Yuan’s eyes. It’s not good to deal with it like this.
Let Emperor Yuan feel comfortable.
But it was a mistake for the prince to be absent. At this moment, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince are all here, but the prince who will be crowned king in the future can only be absent. How ironic. No matter how calm the queen is, she is just toasting to celebrate the third prince.
When I returned from the victory, I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty, we are all here today, but Zhao'er is the only one missing. Look..." The queen just started to speak, and she saw Emperor Yuan's frown. She hurriedly changed her tone: "I want to send you some food, what do you think?
"
Qin Feng secretly thought that the queen was also very adaptable. She probably wanted to ask Emperor Yuan to lift the prince's ban. When he saw something was wrong, he immediately changed it to sending food. The two meanings are very different.
Looking at the old maid standing behind the queen, Qin Feng vaguely felt that this old maid might be ruthless. She just pinched the queen quietly and reminded the queen, and then she changed the conversation.
.
As the saying goes, see through but don't tell. Everyone present knew what the queen wanted to do. Emperor Yuan said in a deep voice: "It's your arrangement."
The queen twisted her fingers again and again, and called the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare a few dishes that the prince liked and sent them over. After finishing, she looked at Emperor Yuan and said tentatively: "Let's just say it was a gift from his father."
Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously he had seen this kind of trick a lot, but he had no objection. Xiao Lingzhao was indeed a little depressed this time.
