After an hour and a half, Feng Ziying estimated that it would take a long time, and then Emperor Yonglong let Feng Ziying go without hesitation.
Feng Ziying felt a little exhausted when she went out. Emperor Yonglong was really curious about the baby's feelings. Feng Ziying didn't know if the other ministers were like this when they were playing. If they were all like this, he estimated that the older ministers might not be the same. Make it through.
The chamberlain accompanied Feng Ziying out, but saw a young man outside the corridor looking at the sky with his hands behind his hands.
"Shu Jishi, he is the King of Ceremonies." The chamberlain reminded him in a low voice.
At this time, the young man had also heard the footsteps, turned his head, and stared at Feng Ziying with sharp eyes.
Feng Ziying was also looking at the other party. She had a fair face and an ocher-yellow robe, which was reserved for the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. Her cheekbones were slightly higher, which was somewhat similar to Emperor Yonglong, but different from King Shou. King Shou had a round face and generous cheeks. , but their skin is fair, which is similar to the two brothers.
"But Feng Keng, a concubine?" King Li greeted him first.
No matter what, Prince Li was still very particular about etiquette and came at a quick pace.
Feng Ziying could only bow her hands and salute, "Feng Keng has met His Royal Highness Prince Li."
Among the princes of Emperor Yonglong, except for Prince Shou, whom he had met twice, the other princes, Prince Lu and Prince Gong, were all under ten years old. Of course, they did not know each other. Prince Fu had never met him, and this was the first time he had met Prince Li.
"I've heard Mr. Feng's name for a long time, but it's a close connection. Today I finally met him." King Li's eyes were clear and sharp. He held Feng Ziying's bowing hand and said with a smile: "But the little king seems to be better than the second brother." With better luck, he hasn't met Mr. Feng either."
Feng Ziying estimated that this Prince of Ceremony should be about the same age as himself, that is, around sixteen or seventeen years old.
Logically, I should be able to meet them, because these princes would come to the Hanlin Academy from time to time, but it seems that I really lack some fate with these princes. Except for King Shou, I met them once when he came to the Hanlin Academy, I have never met any of the other princes.
"Your Highness praises you too much. Feng Keng is just an ordinary student with a little reputation. That's just because everyone loves him. He cannot deserve such praise from His Highness."
Feng Ziying doesn't like to deal with these princes. It's hard to say that the princes of the Zhou Dynasty have any good fortune before they get the throne. Even after they get the prince, they still have changes before they sit on the throne. For example, Prince Yi Zhong .
The emperors did not like the princes to have too many contacts with ministers and officials in the court, but preferred that they interact with some famous scholars in the opposition. Therefore, the princes were happy to make friends with people like Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun. It's just that famous scholars like Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun, who have already had official careers and are very likely to make a comeback in the future, are reluctant to make friends with these princes.
Prince Li held Feng Ziying's hand with great sincerity and said, "My little king has little talent and little knowledge. He went to the Imperial Academy a few times. After a few visits, Mr. Feng went to Xijiang again. So it is a pity that if he has time, Mr. Feng can I wonder if it would be okay for you to spare some time?"
Feng Ziying was stunned. Is this King of Ceremony a little too humble? Even if he is a little famous, he would not let the other party have such an attitude. He has not even been awarded a formal official position, so why is he like this?
But he didn't know that his two visits to the palace as a solo couple had been noticed by many interested people, and now that he had not been officially conferred, even if the princes took the initiative to get closer, they would not have much scruples. Once he was formally conferred, An official, even a noble and idle position like editor of the Hanlin Academy, is still involved.
He was such a courteous corporal. Although Feng Ziying was thinking about it in her heart, she still said politely: "I'm afraid that if Feng Keng is not good at Ci Fu, His Highness will be disappointed."
Feng Ziying also knew that the royal family members in the capital, including Prince Yi Zhong and the Crown Prince, often held poetry gatherings, which were nothing more than commenting on some poems and songs in order to accumulate reputation among the scholars.
People like Lian Guoshi, Xu Xie, Huang Zunsu, Han Jing, Yang Sichang, Wang Xiangchun, Hou Xun, Ai Nanxing, etc. are often invited to these activities. Of course, the invitees are usually scholars rather than royal children, but this It's all just to avoid suspicion in name only.
Everyone knows that Feng Ziying does not like poetry, and Feng Ziying is from a martial arts background, so she has been invited several times, but Feng Ziying politely declined.
He didn't want to go to that kind of party and make a fool of himself. Instead of doing that, wouldn't it be better to have a drink with Xue Pan, Jia Lian, Liu Xianglian and the others?
"Mr. Feng is too modest. Little Wang has heard about the scene at the Enrong Banquet for a long time. Wang Jimu is famous for his poetry and prose, but he can't compete with Mr. Feng. Mr. Li also praised Mr. Feng full of praise..." Prince Li's smile became gentler and his eyes fell on Feng Ziying's face, obviously unwilling to give up.
Feng Ziying didn't want to be entangled with a prince in a place like this, and in the eyes of Long Jinwei, she probably didn't know how to arrange herself in front of Emperor Yonglong, and the chamberlain should probably report the situation to the Chief of Ceremonies. Report on the side?
"His Highness is so affectionate. If Feng Keng refuses again, he will be disrespectful. How dare you disobey?"
Feng Ziying sighed in her heart. Will the sons of Emperor Yonglong have to repeat the stories of their fathers from now on?
It seems like it’s really hard to tell.
After finally getting rid of Prince Li's entanglement, Feng Ziying quickly left the palace. When she stepped out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but let out a breath of turbidity.
I looked back at the group of buildings that looked a bit desolate and majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun, and shook my head. This thing only looks atmospheric, but actually living in it is probably not what it feels like.
It's not a birthday party, but as many people know, Feng Ziying also wants to arrange a get-together for a group of friends.
People like Jia Lian, Xue Pan and others had long been clamoring to get together, and Han Qi, Wei Ruolan and Chen Yejun were also willing to facilitate it, so the meal was organized smoothly.
Liu Xianglian and Jia Baoyu came hand in hand.
Feng Ziying looked at these two people. One was extremely handsome, and the other was just showing off his talent. If you add Jiang Qiguan, who is said to be as good-looking as these two, and another more famous Wang Shuirong of Beijing, both of them would They are a few people who like to play tickets and often go to several major theaters, so there are vague rumors in the capital city that these four are the best candidates for the top four ticket players.
In fact, Jiang Qiguan is definitely not a toy, but a real famous actor. Although Liu Xianglian is a toy in name, he has already become the leader of the class. I don’t know what he thinks. Maybe you want to have a taste of class leader addiction.
Feng Ziying also couldn't understand the tricks here. Big shots are elegant and elegant when they play and sing, but if they are full-time actors, they are of low status, so this is also a paradox.
The banquet was held in Lefeng Building.
This is the most famous restaurant in Xicheng, where famous people from the capital gather together, and the business has always been prosperous.
Han Qi, Wei Ruolan and the others arrived first, followed by Jia Lian and Xue Pan, and Chen Yejun arrived last.
Feng Ziying originally didn't want to invite Chen Yejun, who now seems to be very low-key. Although the Chen family was involved in the Daguanlou business, Feng Ziying always felt that there was something fishy about this family.
During this period, Feng Ziying had a lot of contact with her father, Chen Daoxian. This general of the Fifth Army Camp was not very prominent, but he had become an important figure in the martial arts. It gave Feng Ziying the feeling that Wang Ziting valued Chen Daoxian even more than Chen Daoxian. Veterans such as Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang.
Moreover, Chen Daoxian's position is quite special now. Once Wang Ziteng no longer serves as the governor of Xuanda, Niu Jizong may be transferred to the governor of Xuanda. It is difficult to say whether Chen Daoxian will succeed the governor of the Beijing camp.
However, the sudden emergence of Chen Daoxian as the general of the Fifth Army Camp always made Feng Ziying a little suspicious. How could this dark horse suddenly appear? Even her father, who had been observing the situation at the time, couldn't explain clearly and found it unbelievable. This was something Feng Ziying could not let go of.
Because of this, Feng Ziying felt that it was necessary to strengthen contact with the other party. Only by having more contact with a questionable person can you understand what he is thinking and doing, and then infer whose path Chen Daoxian behind him took and what his intentions were. for what.
"Brother Yejun, I'm just waiting for you." Feng Ziying smiled and hugged Chen Yejun, who came in last, "Second brother Lian and second brother Xianglian are all here. Ziqi and Ruolan arrived one step ahead of you..."
Chen Yejun was surprised by Feng Ziying's demotion to greet him, and he quickly said: "Brother Yu, you are late. I happened to encounter an interesting thing on the way, so I was delayed for a while..."
"Oh, what's an interesting story? Tell me quickly." Han Qi liked new things like this the most, so he immediately answered, "It's definitely not easy to make Yejun and you find it interesting."
"It is said that a small official from Guizhou came to complain. He was angry at the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was arrested by the patrol camp. He couldn't explain where he came from. He was crying on the roadside. After all, he was an official. Why? Just practice like this?" Chen Yejun sighed, "I listened for a while and felt that this official position was boring. I was bullied by the local officials and scolded by the people. How can I live like this? Go down?"
"Oh?" Everyone else sighed, but Feng Ziying suddenly became alert, "What's going on, over there in Guizhou? Where in Guizhou?"
"It seems like someone from the Xuanwei Department, I'm not sure." Chen Yejun was a little surprised when he saw Feng Ziying suddenly become serious, "Brother Yu didn't pay attention either, he was just blocked on the road, so he just looked there. It was lively for a while, who knows where it was..."
Feng Ziying's thoughts changed rapidly, but she still felt lucky, "But the Bozhou Xuanwei Division?"
"Yes, it's Bozhou Xuanwei Division. This is the first time I've heard the name of this place. I don't know where it is. I just know it's over in Guizhou." Chen Yejun clapped his hands suddenly and nodded: "That junior official also has the same name. It’s a dialect, so I can’t hear it clearly,…”
Feng Ziying took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and told herself that the situation didn't seem that bad, it hadn't reached that point yet, but looking at the Battle of Ningxia, the wheel of history seemed to have never stopped, but it had just slowed down. God knows. When will we get to that point?
