"Concubine Xianlun is also here to visit the emperor?" Feng Ziying glanced at the beautiful woman in front of her. She was slender, wearing a green skirt and a black cloak. She had a palace-style bun and tall eyebrows. A bit of a sharp breath.
No wonder he was named Gu Xia, because his father originally hoped to have a son, but it turned out to be a daughter. Simply raise your daughter as your son.
Wu Guxia was swept away by Feng Ziying's gaze. He originally wanted to muster up the courage to look at him, but for no reason he felt timid and lowered his eyes. He said, "There are also rules in the palace. You can visit me every three to five days." Come on, when you said just now that no one else can visit you, did you mean those of us?"
Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows. This woman was really a bit unruly. She actually dared to question herself face to face. She smiled and said, "Xia Bingzhong and Zhou Shuchun will make their own judgments as to how the rest of the people will judge. However, as long as they have hope that the emperor's body will show up to him, If you have good intentions, then I think they are not idlers, and those who have other thoughts, even if they are blood relatives, can also be regarded as idlers. Are you satisfied with my explanation?"
Wu Guxia didn't know why he blurted out such a question. No matter how unconvinced he was, he shouldn't be fighting with the right minister of the Ministry of War who was now very popular.
Just seeing the other person's cold and ruthless eyes, I felt a little angry for no reason, treating myself as an ordinary object. This made me feel angry, and I suddenly wanted to say goodbye to the other person. A hint of thoughts.
"Can I understand that Your Majesty is deliberately targeting other people in the palace? Then wouldn't Tai Ning also be looked down upon when he comes?" Wu Guxia said coldly: "Your Majesty specifically mentioned that if you are related by blood, whether a foreign minister comes, Are you just visiting with the hope that the Emperor will be better?"
Feng Ziying didn't expect this woman to have such a vague understanding, and even want to put a lump on her head, which was a bit funny, "My queen, you can only have such a narrow understanding, but Princess Taining came to visit her father. I think that must be sincere. As for other people, hehe,
Princess Taining seemed to have heard the agility in the two people's words, and quickly interjected anxiously: "Your Majesty is also sincere. Taining hopes that his father will recover soon. Your Excellency will come to visit his father on behalf of the court. Taining will come to visit him on behalf of the court." I would like to thank you for your concern, sir."
"Princess Taining is very happy. Everyone in the court is looking forward to the emperor's recovery. Every day, the cabinet and the Seven Ministries and Inspectors are thinking about it, so they send important ministers to the palace to greet them every day. This is as it should be. "Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Seeing Princess Taining being so filial, I am very happy. Your lord, the family will praise Princess Taining for being a good student, and it can be regarded as setting an example for other royal family members."
King Zhongshun also took advantage of the situation and nodded to praise Princess Taining. The atmosphere in the room seemed to have relaxed, but Hao Guxia no longer led the conversation.
Just as he was talking, another group of people came from the east. Looking at the people outside the palace, their pace slowed down, as if they were hesitating whether they should come here at this time.
Wu Guxia and Princess Taining could be recognized from afar as they were also from the palace.
"It's Concubine Xianxi." Seeing Feng Ziying looking over there with doubtful eyes, Princess Taining said cautiously.
"Oh? Concubine Zheng?" Feng Ziying nodded.
Noticing that everyone was looking towards her, the woman and her party hesitated for a while but came over. When they saw King Zhongshun and Feng Ziying, as well as Wu Guxia and Princess Taining, the woman had no choice but to come forward to greet them.
King Zhongshun was much more familiar with the situation in the palace, and he took the initiative to ask Concubine Zheng if she came to visit the emperor. She also said that she would come every one or two days, and she also came to visit today.
Feng Ziying took a look at this woman. She had a voluptuous figure, slightly plumper than Wu Guxia, especially tall. She was half a head taller than Yuan Chun, but she was somewhat similar to Yuan Chun. She had a rich face and a broad look. The forehead is broad and the cheeks are long, the eyebrows are slanting into the temples, but the corners of the eyes are a bit slender, giving them a bit of nobility out of thin air. Not to mention, they both look like Zheng Chong.
After a few words of greeting, Wu Guxia and Princess Taining took the initiative to leave first, and Feng Ziying and King Zhongshun naturally left.
When Feng Ziying and King Zhongshun walked to the palace gate, a little maid hurriedly ran over and informed them that
Concubine Xianxi wants to meet Feng Ziying.
King Zhongshun was surprised, but then he felt relieved. He seemed to understand something and smiled without saying a word. Feng Ziying was also a little surprised. He had roughly guessed Zheng Zhiying's intention, but being able to say this in front of King Zhongshun obviously meant that he knew the relationship between himself and King Zhongshun and was not afraid of being known by King Zhongshun.
After thinking about it for a while, Feng Ziying agreed.
Soon the woman came rushing all the way, and King Zhongshun simply stepped aside and allowed the two of them to talk secretly beside the palace wall.
"My brother is very grateful for your care. The Zheng family is willing to serve the country, especially since my father used to defend the borders of the Zhou Dynasty in Xuanfu Town for many years. Now he is in his prime but idle at home, so he has always hoped to continue to serve the court."
It would never have been possible for children who were heirs of poems and books to say such straightforward and frank words, but from the mouths of women like Zheng Zhiying and even Wu Guxia who had left earlier, it was normal.
In that round of Emperor Yonglong's concubines entering the palace, they were all women from Wu Xun, or women who had a deep connection with Wu Xun. The purpose was to ease the tense relationship with Wu Xun and avoid causing unnecessary turmoil. I should talk about my thoughts. It was good, but as the situation changed, the purpose and intention became more and more superficial, and later it became just a formality, without much meaning.
Fortunately, it was just a random move to show goodwill, and it was indispensable, so there was no other impact.
Jia Yuanchun is the legitimate daughter of Conglong Wuxun, and Zheng Zhiying is also from the Wuxun family. Her father is unemployed in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and her elder brother is the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. Wu Guxia's father and uncle are both from Wuxun family. They once served in Long Jinwei, who had been with him in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, now serves in Huguang, and his cousin serves as the deputy commander of the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Department.
Although the father of Zhou Biwu, the concubine of the Xian Dynasty, was born as a country squire and had served as the Prime Minister of Taipu Temple, his uncle was a serious veteran martial artist. Guo Wangziteng was the chief soldier of the Xuanfu before he served as the governor of Xuanda, and Yue Zhenhuan and Yue Zhenyu, the sons of Yue Lusong, were Zhou Biwu's uncles.
One of these two people served as a commander in the capital of Henan Province, and the other wanted the granddaughter of the emperor's sister. She was also the granddaughter of Emperor Tianping's daughter. She was related to the royal family. She also worked in the Beijing camp and now serves as a guard in Tianjin. The commander knows the same thing.
Emperor Yonglong did not dare to include Wuqin women who really held great power in the palace, such as the daughters or nieces of Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong.
Now these people in the palace have probably seen the situation clearly. The emperor is unable to wake up now, and the situation is getting worse day by day. They are also looking for opportunities for themselves or their family.
As the possibility of Prince Yi Zhong succeeding the emperor increases, concubines like them, who have been in the palace for a few years but have no special background, are even more worthless.
Prince Yi Zhong could not tolerate these women staying in the palace. If he were to treat concubines with children such as Xu Junru, Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinyun, he might be a little more cautious and polite, but for Jia Zhou and Wu Zheng These concubines who were originally brought in as extras would not be polite, and would basically end up in the cold palace and stay in seclusion until they grow old.
Under such circumstances, when Zheng Zhiying received news from her brother outside the palace, she naturally looked for various opportunities to fight for her father, brother and family.
In particular, the Zheng family had dealt with Feng Ziying when he was the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. It was considered an old friendship. But now that Feng Ziying has risen to the top and become more powerful, Feng Ziying's help is even more needed due to the change of host and guest.
The two were very close to each other, and Zheng Zhiying's hibiscus jade face carried a faint fragrance in the wind.
Especially the pair of crow eyebrows, which are thick but not wide, and slender into the temples, giving them a bit of a heroic aura out of thin air. The lips are plump but not wide. They are painted with flower juice and appear to be of the right shade, just like the tap of a red pen and the slight opening of the sandalwood mouth.
The hanging gallbladder nose was even more distinctive, with a hint of softness in her erect posture, which made Feng Ziying a little lost in thought for a moment.
While Feng Ziying was comparing the similarities in appearance and figure between Zheng Zhiying and Jia Yuanchun, Zheng Zhiying also noticed that the young Supervisor Feng was distracted.
She was secretly annoyed.
Feng Ziying's reputation as a suave person, or rather a lustful person, was heard even in the palace. It was normal for men to be lustful, but let
Zheng Zhiying was a little angry that this guy dared to be so presumptuous in front of her.
She was also a noble concubine after all, but the other person's eyes showed no respect at all, and it felt more like looking down on her with disdain, which made her very uncomfortable.
After coughing slightly, Zheng Zhiying smoothed her hair with her hands to remind the other party to respect themselves. However, although Feng Ziying woke up from her distraction, she didn't have much thought to apologize.
If Prince Yoshitaka is basically determined to succeed the emperor according to the wishes of the cabinet, it would be a bit ridiculous for these women to have to deal with their identities in front of him now that they have been relegated to the sidelines.
Of course, Feng Ziying had no intention of attacking or irritating the other party, but the other party seemed to be hoping that using her status as a concubine would increase the weight of the Zheng family, which seemed a bit unclear.
Although Zheng Chongjun is a person of some use, he is only of some use. The Five Cities Military and Horse Division is the Five Cities, and Zheng Chongjun is only in charge of the southern city.
Moreover, the Wucheng Military and Horse Division was very tired of being managed by the Procuratorate of the Retired City. The power of the commanders was not great. The censor of Dicheng was the real master. The commanders here were far inferior to those of the Shangsanqin Army and the Three Majors of Jingying. The battalion command was so effective.
"I'm sorry, I was a little distracted." Ziying said nonchalantly: "I have written down what the empress said. If there is an opportunity, of course you are welcome to serve the country."
