Chapter 8 Fickle


The juggler was controlled, and the peacock who attacked the Queen was also taken out of the inner hall by the guards. The Queen held Fu Yi's hand, her eyes filled with distress.

The wives gathered around the queen to inquire about her welfare. They all looked loyal, as if they wished they could be frightened for the queen.

Seeing that the Queen was still holding Yun Fuyi's hand, everyone felt a little sad. With so many people present, how could she get the credit for rescuing him?

"Your Majesty." The female officer walked to the Queen's side with a solemn expression: "After investigation by the guards and the imperial doctor, it was found that there was poison hidden in the claw hooks of the two peacocks. This poison is colorless and odorless, and it will take a few days to take effect. , if a person's face is exposed to this poison, his face will fade and his skin will become sores."

Everyone looked at Fuyi quickly, and the queen immediately summoned the imperial doctor.

"Please rest assured, Madam, the trick to catching a chicken... and a peacock is to avoid its sharp claws and control its neck and wings. I will be fine." Fu Yi cast a reassuring look at Liu Qiongzhi and continued to address the Queen. : "The juggler and the peacock can contribute to When entering the palace, you must go through many inspections, so even if the peacock claws are poisonous, they are hidden in a place that is not easy to detect and touch. "

This method of ruining a person's appearance is somewhat like that of a concubine in the palace. The style of secretly competing for favor.

While the queen sent people down for a thorough investigation, she also asked the imperial physician to check Fuyi's pulse. Soon the palace returned to calm, as if the assassination had never happened.

The ladies sighed with emotion, she was indeed the empress of the palace who had read poetry and books since she was a child and had stayed with the emperor for many years. How many people could match her magnanimity and demeanor?

After Fuyi went to the back hall to change her clothes and the imperial doctor checked her pulse to confirm that she was fine, the queen really felt relieved: "You are at the age of the bright moon, so you can't let your appearance be damaged. ”

After saying this, she turned to look at Liu Qiongzhi, who was sitting at the bottom: "I have no daughters. If I have a daughter, I think she will be as lovable as Fu Yi."

What did you say?

Who is lovable?

The ladies looked at the queen in disbelief. If you don't listen to what you are saying, does Yun Fuyi have anything to do with being likable?

They only knew that before His Majesty ascended the throne, the Queen lived in seclusion in the palace and rarely appeared in public. However, they did not know that the Queen's news was so secluded, and they did not know Yun Fuyi's notorious reputation in the capital.

Liu Qiongzhi stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, my dear, this child is very naughty, but he is just a little considerate."

Princess Kangyang lowered her head to drink tea, so as not to be seen rolling her eyes.

Is that just naughty?

I usually see Liu Qiongzhi as a very smart person, but I didn’t expect that he is so unaware of his daughter.

Her fat grandson is better, he looks so lovable.

Liu Xiaopang, who had lost the cockfight, was walking down the street dejectedly. The boys behind him were all talking flattering words to please him.

With the sound of horse hooves, Liu Xiaopang was choked by the dust and his nose was full of gray. He shouted angrily: "Who is so ignorant? I don't know that I am..."

"Your Majesty, yes "Jinwu Guard!" The boy quickly covered his mouth, "Now that Jinwu Guard is out of the city, something big will happen."

Liu Xiaopang tried his best to widen his squinted eyes to see who the leader was. His Royal Highness.

“Let’s go, go home quickly.”

When the prince personally leads the Jinwu guards out of the city gate, something big will happen.

The palace on the outskirts of Beijing.

Fu Yi was wearing a palace dress of Shu brocade given by the Queen, and on her head was a five-tailed phoenix wing inserted by the Queen herself. She was surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs to inquire about her welfare.

Looking at this familiar scene, the noble daughters looked a little dazed.

It is said that once the emperor and his courtiers were together, how could Yun Fuyi catch up with all the good times?

"Reporting to the Empress, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Minister of Dali Temple, the Left Assistant Minister of the Criminal Department, and the leader of the Jinwu Guards are asking for an audience."

"Xuan."

Not long after, everyone saw His Royal Highness striding forward. His steps were so hurried that he didn't even notice that his left sleeve was turned up.

“I have met His Highness the Prince.”

“No need!”

Sui Tingheng felt relieved when he saw that his mother looked normal, neither injured nor frightened: "I felt relieved when I saw that my mother was fine. My father was worried about you and asked me to take you back to the palace."
< br>"Don't worry, I'm fine." The queen stretched out her hand to help Sui Tingheng straighten the sleeves of his robe: "Your father is also making a fuss, why do you need to mobilize so many troops?"

"My Majesty, you are the mother of the country, and all the people in the world are concerned about your safety. What's more, Your Majesty loves you so much, and His Royal Highness the Prince is filial to you, how can you mobilize troops and mobilize people."

"Your Highness is full of filial piety, and the ministers are very happy to see you. Envy."

The queen stood up holding Sui Tingheng's hand and waved to Fuyi: "Fuyi, come to me."

Fuyi trotted to the Queen's side and held her other hand: "My Lady, please be careful of the steps."

"Thanks to Fuyi's presence today, I was not injured." The Queen let go of her hand. on Sui Tingheng's arm That hand patted Yun Fuyi's arm affectionately: "She is a benefactor to my mother."

"Empress." Fuyi disagreed and said: "Eating the emperor's salary, being loyal to the emperor, taking on the responsibility The king's concern. As a minister, protect him. Your Majesty is doing your duty, so how can you say that you are a benefactor?”

“Today, I just happen to have some skills in catching birds of prey, so I have the honor to share my worries with the loyalty of the others here. Women are the same "

"How can I not like you for being so considerate at such a young age?" The queen glanced at everyone. If everyone was loyal, why was Fuyi the first to stand in front of her? , and not someone else?

In the early years when she was still Princess Li, almost no one took her seriously. Since becoming the queen, these reserved and noble nobles have all become reasonable and nice-speaking, and they are all good people around her.

On the contrary, Yun Fuyi, who has a reputation as a playboy, never acted out of line when she was at her lowest, and even when she was most embarrassed...

It is difficult to provide help in the snow, but the icing on the cake Yi, although she understands this truth, it does not mean that she has no grudges.

After all, she is just a queen, not an immortal Buddha on a shrine.

Seeing the Queen Empress looking at her with eyes full of closeness and affection, Fuyi did not expect that she and the Empress had only met a few times, but the Empress liked her so much.

Looking at the envious and jealous eyes in the crowd, Fuyi sighed proudly in his heart. It was all her fault, because she was too lovable.

Everyone saw Fuyi's slightly raised chin and took a deep breath.

Princess Kangyang finally couldn't hold it back and whispered: "She drank at least three pots of tea before going out in the morning, otherwise she could say such hypocritical words?"

Standing beside her Princess Ning was silent. She looked at the empress who was smiling and laughing. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment had thoroughly investigated the matter. The inner hall seemed peaceful on the surface, but it was unknown how many people were involved behind the scenes.

Everyone respectfully sent the queen off to the phoenix carriage. The acquaintances returned to their carriages and began to discuss wildly.

"His Royal Highness should be crowned this year. Is the Queen planning to be so close to Yun Fuyi..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, even if the Yun family is loyal and patriotic, even if Yun Fuyi can be saved It’s impossible for the Queen and the Queen to let a dandy become the Crown Princess.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty and the Queen are just one child, the future Crown Princess. You have to choose from thousands of things.”

Sitting in the carriage, Fu Yi opened the curtains and took a look. He quickly lowered the curtains, hesitated for a moment, raised the curtains again, and smiled at the people outside. : "Please forgive me for the inconvenience of saluting in the carriage."

His Royal Highness the Prince on horseback is wearing a green robe with bamboo patterns, and his hair is fixed with an auspicious cloud and flying crane hairpin, just like the wind blowing out of the world to banish an immortal.

Sui Tingheng glanced at her face and nodded slightly: "The mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been found out. Miss Yun should be more careful in the near future."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I understand." Fu Yi is playful by nature. However, she always respects and does not provoke people like His Royal Highness who have outstanding character and talents. Sui Tingheng sat on the horse and looked forward: "Father has only been on the throne for two years, and the traitors are well hidden. Fortunately, Miss Yun saved the queen today and avoided this disaster."
< br>

“The empress is surrounded by a chamberlain "Guard, even if I don't take action today, those two peacocks may not be able to hurt the empress." Fu Yi said as if he had no intention of doing so, "I have seen this kind of method of ruining a person's appearance before in the palace of the late empress." br>
The late emperor was comatose and lustful, and there were countless beauties in the palace. The concubines often used tricks to win the emperor's favor. Today you are disfigured, tomorrow she falls into the water, and the next day someone has a miscarriage. The former emperor's harem is more messy than the weeds on the roadside.

"Concubine Zeng was the most favored by the late emperor during her lifetime, and she had seen countless tricks in the palace. Unfortunately, I heard that on the day of the late emperor's death, a fire broke out in the palace where she lived, and she unfortunately died in the flames. Otherwise, I could have asked her something. " He said with a smile and a regret, "I don't know if His Highness Prince Ning has learned from Zeng. What kind of skills does the imperial concubine have?"

Sui Tingheng looked at her deeply and said after a while: "Life and death are determined by fate, don't force it, Miss Yun doesn't need to take it to heart."

"Your Highness said it. Yes." Fuyi watched Sui Tingheng ride away and slowly lowered the curtain.

"Miss." Xia Yu approached Fuyi: "You just poured dirty water on Prince Ning like that?"

"How can you call it dirty water?" Fuyi stretched out his finger. Pressing Xia Yu's forehead, she pushed her head away: "As a courtier's daughter, I am said to be sincere and loyal, sharing your worries for you."

Xia Yu covered her forehead and muttered in a low voice: "I believe what you said, but I don't know if His Highness the Prince believes it."

Two hours later, King Ning was summoned into the palace, and the emperor treated him Full of kindness, he not only gave him calligraphy treasures, but also selected several servants from the palace for him to take away.

"Those chamberlains are those left behind by Concubine Zeng. My father kindly sent them to Prince Ning's Mansion. If the emperor is unwilling to reuse them, I can only express my deep regret." Sui Tingheng helped the emperor. After sorting out the memorial on the imperial case: "Today, I will meet with Kang Yang." My aunt is a little fatter, but she remembered something interesting."

"Oh?" The emperor was curious: "What is it?"

The emperor is not close to Princess Kangyang. It sounds like she is. It’s a joke at home, and there’s no trace of guilt at all.

Sui Tingheng stepped aside: "A few days ago, her old man's grandson met the girl from Yun Shangshu's family. They had a few words. He said that he was the emperor's nephew, and even Yun Shangshu had to be polite when he saw him."< br>
"How can he love Yun "The emperor was not happy: "Aunt Kangyang spoils her children to a fault."

"But Miss Yun is very narrow-minded and said, "Father, you love the people like a son, so she is your child." The children are closer than the nephews, cousin Liu She should be called sister."

"She is right, all people in the world are my subjects." The emperor laughed loudly and thrust the memorial into Sui Tingheng's hand. Heng wanted to put it back, but he pushed it back again: "She is today That Miss Yun who bravely captured the evil bird?”

“It’s her.” Sui Tingheng said helplessly: “Father, my son is only a prince and has no right to hear the memorial. I know, I’m afraid it will attract tongues wagging.”

"It is only natural for a son to help me do things. Who can have any objection?" The emperor rolled up his sleeves and was dissatisfied: "If they hadn't insisted that the late emperor died less than three years ago and it was not appropriate to appoint a prince, Heng'er, you would have been the master of the East Palace."< br>
“But...”

“You don’t need to persuade me anymore, as a father, I know what I am doing. "The emperor pretended not to see his son's dilemma: "The daughter of Yun Aiqing's family saved your mother, which is a great contribution. What do you think should be rewarded?"

"My son, remember what you gave Yun. The minister rewarded a Marquis Wenyong with a virtual title? "

Xujue has a title but no city, but it can represent the emperor's trust.

"Then the father will give his daughter a virtual title?" The emperor rubbed his hands. The virtual title is good, and the title does not cost money: "Then give her a country prince..."

"Since If you don’t have a city, it’s better to give him the position of a county king to show your kindness to those who are loyal to the emperor.”

The father and son spoke at the same time, The emperor opened his mouth for a long time and then said: "Heng'er, it's rare for you to be generous today."

Sui Tingheng lowered his eyes: "She is different."

"That's true." The emperor nodded: "After all, he is the one who saved your mother. The county prince should be the county prince. It's not like our family can't afford it."

After saying that, he picked up a pen and drafted an imperial edict for knighthood.

Sui Tingheng looked at the crooked handwriting of the emperor and was silent for a moment: "Father, my son, please help you write it."

"Ah?!"

Didn’t you just say that the prince has no authority to act on these matters?

"After listening to what my father said," Sui Tingheng took the ink pen from the emperor's hand, "I thought about it."

Emperor: "..."

My son, you are quite fickle today.
