It's rare that this kid is so smart and well-versed in everything, he also understands current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat.
It's a pity that although she was born into a royal family, her biological mother was stupid and came from a humble background. And for some reasons, it is impossible to be favored. In this life, I am afraid that being an idle royal family will depend on great luck.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Feng subconsciously squinted her eyes and glanced sideways at her daughter Jing Fei, who was still obviously anxious.
Tsk, although he was troubled by his daughter's gullibility and arrogance, he really had to praise him, this kid was indeed a teachable brat.
When Master Feng thought so in his heart, he only said calmly:
"Oh, that's it. Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince, is still very clever. Unlike my incompetent grandson, who retired after success but rarely even saw His Majesty."
After finishing her seemingly emotional words, Concubine Jing, who had been too lazy to look at Xiao Ni just a moment ago, turned her head and glared at the young man with her eyebrows raised.
Hiss, she was careless!
He just thought that the reward was worth it, but he didn't pay attention to when this boy could get so close to His Majesty, and let the suspicious Emperor Xuande give Wang Zhen private orders in front of him. .
Not to mention, Concubine Jing was angry that her son was not as good as this lowly boy in the eyes of his father. After noticing Xiao Ni's tricks and ambition to get close to Emperor Xuande, how could she still sit still?
Therefore, while glaring at her, Concubine Jing patted the table next to her and said sharply to Xiao Ni like a firecracker:
"Honestly! When did you start doing these little things? And when did His Majesty start treating you so sincerely?!"
While scolding angrily, Concubine Jing's expression became more ferocious, her fierce eyes seemed to force her to reach out immediately and tear the thin young man in front of her to pieces.
Although the Seventh Prince Xiao Ni had expected it, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly - just as he satisfied the other party's needs, he was immediately "repaid with hatred".
He smiled bitterly in his heart, but there was only panic on his face.
His eyes widened, he waved his hands repeatedly, and said anxiously:
"I have misunderstood! Please calm down first and listen to my explanation!"
She turned around and looked at Master Feng with a pair of tearful beautiful eyes, and murmured in a trembling voice:
"Grand Master, you have misunderstood me when you said you would kill this junior. I didn't go to see my father specifically, I was just entrusted by Princess Danyang."
Mrs. Feng had just become wary of Danyang mother and daughter. Now she could not sit still when she heard these words again. And because of his high praise for Xiao Ni just now, he now became more and more wary of the young man in front of him.
"Oh? What can Princess Danyang ask you? Besides, how did you meet her by chance that day?"
Xiao Ni lowered her eyes after hearing this, looking very embarrassed.
But under the half-lidded eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes were moving quickly. And before Concubine Jing impatiently slapped the table again, she raised her eyes again and said as if she was full of energy:
"Last time, Third Brother was ordered to run an errand. After I heard about it, I planned to go and help that day. Unexpectedly, after arriving at Lixiang Garden, I happened to meet the princess who was going to offer incense in accordance with the emperor's order. When I was about to leave, the princess seemed to have someone else. Please let me report to Your Majesty on your behalf."
Because after accompanying Xiao Ren back to Zongzheng Temple that day, someone immediately came to him and conveyed Emperor Xuande's oral instructions not to reveal even a single bit of what happened today.
Therefore, Xiao Ni also guessed that Xiao Yan, who was the main messenger, must have received a gag order.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case.
However, despite the gag order, Xiao Ni was not worried at all that she would cause trouble if she was obviously suspected of leaking secrets.
Mrs. Feng and Concubine Jing were confused when they heard this, and they still couldn't figure out whether Princess Danyang was just talking nonsense, making excuses for her nonsense as usual, or whether she really got such a strange emperor's job and went to the theater. Incense?
Xiao Ni spoke timidly again and begged:
"But after I relayed this matter again, my father scolded me for being ridiculous. He also said that I was not allowed to interfere with Princess Danyang's affairs in the future, and I was not allowed to tell anyone about it."
As he spoke, he looked at Taishi Feng and Concubine Jing with tears in his eyes, and it was clear in his eyes that he begged them not to spread the word.
Concubine Jing immediately felt comfortable when she heard that even if the seventh prince saw Emperor Xuande, he would only be scolded.
Even though Master Feng didn't believe it completely, his attention was drawn to it.
As he pondered, he raised his hand and waved to Xiao Ni, as if dismissing a servant, indicating that he could leave.
The Seventh Prince was not annoyed. He raised his eyes and saw that Concubine Jing had the same idea. Then he bowed to the two of them and said goodbye, took two steps back, and then turned away.
Master Feng waited for Xiao Ni to leave before he came back to his senses. He sighed and told his daughter:
"This kid has too many tricksy minds. If you want to use them, be more careful."
With that said, he also stood up and was about to really leave the palace.
Concubine Jing was feeling depressed and wanted her father to give her some advice, but Master Feng had already seen what she meant, so she shook her head and said:
"I really have something to do, and I just heard what he said. There seems to be something fishy here. Don't think too much about anything else. This kid will rely on you to live a good life for a while, so don't worry too much. Your Majesty It’s more serious to find His Highness the Third Prince quickly and ask in detail what happened that day!”
Master Feng gave his daughter serious instructions, but couldn't help but sigh heavily, and walked straight to the main entrance of Shufang Palace from the path without looking back.
There was indeed a lot of official business to be done in the yamen before he came, but now this trip to drink tea has created a lot of trouble for himself to solve!
In addition to the fact that he was so complacent in the past few days, the truth about the Third Highness's ability to do things well needs to be investigated. He also has to make some arrangements for the Princess Mansion.
While frowning in thought, Mrs. Feng kept walking, her forehead and back were covered with sweat, but she still felt that she was not fast enough.
And in the midst of this busy schedule, the journey was really hard, which aroused a burst of anger in the heart of the old master.
Not to mention the people in the royal family, even the little girl from Danyang can easily summon a carriage to walk around in the palace. It's pitiful that he, a high-ranking official and the abbot of the state, has to "measure" the green brick corridor in the palace with his feet!
But no matter how many complaints there are, in full view of the public, a cautious old man like Mrs. Feng will not dare to go beyond the rules in the palace and give others a thumb.
…
After several days of late spring cold, the willow wind finally blew in Beijing, ushering in a warm and warm spring day.
Although there are turbulent undercurrents everywhere, at least on the surface, the capital is calm, peaceful and joyful.
On this day, Danyang just finished meeting Han Qinglan in the small study and finally put together the contents of the first letter. Zizhu ignored her order and knocked on her door excitedly.
"Princess, Princess! Come and take a look. This is simply...how is this possible?!"
The somewhat confusing report did not make Danyang too nervous.
She responded, quickly put the parchment roll away, put it in her sleeve pocket and carried it with her. Then she went to open the door and asked funnyly:
"What good thing happened in the house? It makes you so excited."
