Chapter three hundred and eighty fifth corona 16(1/2)
The day after Wen Yan agreed to Song Yinghai to test the corona, the former imperial physician who could treat Wang Churan's oral disease was quietly sent to Wenyuanzhai. According to the news, the former imperial physician had already criticized Wang Churan and waited for seven days to remove the stitches, so she could get rid of the stubborn disease forever.
Sima Xuanren was in Chang'an, and he was unable to show up to the King of Jin's Mansion, so he just had to come. He went four times a day and handed over to the doorman to "Brother Su" and asked Brother Su to pass through the Baihua Courtyard to recount. These people were driven away by Zhang Meng Wuqing twice and were still unwilling to give up. They thought about many different intentions to break through. Later, they saw that they were really inappropriate and threw the letter into the courtyard wall.
It was almost dusk, and there was a rockery made of Taihu stones beside the screen wall of the mansion. Nail stood on the rockery with a small wooden barrel. Bai Jinyu used a scoop to scoop out white juice from his bucket, and leaned over and dripped it onto the stone steps.
As they spoke in a few words, two figures turned in from Zhaobi.
"The father is back!" Nail shouted on tiptoe.
Bai Jinyu stood up straight, and unexpectedly, Feng Chen went home to the court today a little early. It is not accurate to say that it is early. In fact, it is normal for this time to go home. However, Feng Chen often stays in the palace for a while due to various important matters, so he never returns home on time.
He came back today and was surrounded by a boy in red clothes.
The young man was luxurious and didn't say anything at first. When Xie Yao and the others retreated, he and Feng Chen turned the screen wall before they started to speak. The voice was very unfair: "The old thief Qin Shangshu is really outrageous. The whole court seemed to be the king's law, as if the truth was on his side. What others said was not the limit, but some people followed him to discuss everything he said!"
Feng Chen smiled at the boy's complaint and said lightly: "All the court is gone, don't remember the unhappy things in the court!"
The boy was not persuaded to do so and muttered: "The emperor's brother is really a good temper. I won't go today's matter... Is concubine and sister-in-law?"
The two of them ran into Bai Jinyu head-on, and the boy's eyes immediately lit up. He was overjoyed and bowed: "Feng Yue has met his concubine and sister-in-law!"
Feng Yue?
Bai Jinyu tried hard to connect the elegant young man in front of her with the young prince who cried and wanted Ye Mingzhu and the first to agree to withdraw the vassal and return to Beijing.
While thinking, she returned the greeting: "I have met His Highness the King of Qin!"
Feng Yue seemed very happy to see Bai Jinyu, and said, "I haven't seen my concubine and sister-in-law for a long time, and my sister-in-law seems to be getting more and more handsome! Feng Yue came to the door to bother him if he didn't invite him today, so I would like to forgive her."
Bai Jinyu said politely: "It is an honor for the King of Qin to come to the King of Jin's Mansion. Brothers and families should come and go frequently on weekdays. How can I disturb you?"
Feng Yue was surprised to Fengchen: "It is said that the concubines and sister-in-law don't like to walk around and refuse to deal with people for a long time. It turns out that they are not all!"
Bai Jinyu felt the heart and immediately understood that Feng Yue said "sister-in-law" as Su Lihua, and she couldn't help but regret that she was too enthusiastic. She should have acted according to Su Lihua's cold style.
Bai Jinyu was afraid of how to show the following. Feng Chen had already smiled at her and said slowly to Feng Yue: "It is true to see it, and there are no rumors outside that are believed."
"Father!" The little man next to his leg threw down the bucket and rushed towards Fengchen like a flying man.
Feng Chen smiled and picked up Nail and asked him to call him. Nail leaned against Feng Chen and sweetly called Feng Yue "Little Uncle".
Feng Yue responded happily, and looked at Nail's sleeves that had been half-stroked on his arm and asked, "Good nephew, what are you busy with?"
"Uncle Emperor, come and see!" Nail slid down from Fengchen's arms, dragged Feng Yue's hand to lead him to the rockery and said happily: "Mom and I are giving birth to a baby for Shitou!"
Feng Yueqi said: "Give birth to a baby?"
Bai Jinyu sighed and Nail picked up the small wooden barrel to show Feng Yue: "This is rice soup. My mother said that she poured rice soup into the cracks of the rocks, and had a nap in the evening. Tomorrow, a piece of green moss will grow on these stone steps!"
Feng Yue said: "So magical?" The childlike heart seemed to be caught.
Bai Jinyu smiled and said, "Yes. The trick of the eagle made His Highness the King of Qin laugh."
His Highness of the King of Qin shook his head repeatedly: "This is not a trick to carve and entanglement. The old saying goes: 'The best person to live in the mountains and rivers'. We piled up mountains and stones in the mansion and planted flowers and trees to create the artistic conception of mountains and rivers. If the stones have moss marks, this artistic conception will be a big step in reality, which is really the finishing touch!"
Bai Jinyu said modestly: "Your Highness the King of Qin praised him!"
Feng Yue still didn't praise him: "It's so wonderful, so you can make Tao Yuanming's elegant state of 'moss marks on the upper stairs'? I'll try it back in my house!"
Bai Jinyu nodded with a smile.
Feng Yue looked back and forth at Bai Jinyu and Nail, and then said with great emotion: "No wonder the emperor's brother can't remember the unhappiness in the court after he got off the court! The mansion is so warm and harmonious, even if there are a lot of unhappy things, he can't remember it!"
Feng Chen walked up and smiled slightly, "I think it's time to tell His Majesty to propose a marriage for you!"
Feng Yue's green eyebrows did not hide his hopes, and said calmly: "I am a little yearning for this. Say that the emperor and his concubine and his concubine are the red ropes that His Majesty hold. It's so enviable! I just hope that His Majesty's vision has not changed, and I also choose a good person who is knowledgeable and tactful for me. By the way, do you still have sisters in the concubine and his concubine's family?"
Bai Jinyu, who was originally listening to people's chatting, was suddenly stunned.
Feng Yue's question, logically speaking, should have answered "No". As we all know, Su Ce, the Minister of Works, did not have a second daughter. But for some reason, she just couldn't spit out the word "No" from her mouth.
Bai Jinyu's mind was very fast, and she heard her say to Feng Yue: "Even if there is, it will be too much for you, and there is no blessing to match His Highness Qin!"
After saying this, she immediately realized that there was a loophole in this sentence. Her sisters may not necessarily be the same age as her. She actually agreed that there was a sister who was the same age as her.
Fortunately, Feng Yue did not notice the loophole in this sentence.
Feng Chen kept Feng Yue for dinner, Feng Yue was reluctant to leave and did not rush to leave after dinner. Bai Jinyu then felt that he was deliberately procrastinating in the King of Jin's Mansion. If they kept him and didn't leave tonight, he would be very afraid that he would agree.
Thinking about what Feng Yue said when he first entered the palace, Bai Jinyu suddenly became curious.
So she entertained Feng Yue to drink tea in the pavilion.
The pavilion is built in the center of the lotus pond in the mansion, connected to the shore by a nine-curved bridge. After the screening of the servants, it is a good place to speak independently and never worry about people eavesdropping.
Bai Jinyu made tea for Feng Chen and Feng Yue. Feng praised the meals in the King of Jin's Mansion and the elegant scenery here, which made him linger. Bai Jinyu smiled and said inadvertently: "Then the anger of His Highness the King of Qin in the court today should have been relieved, right?"
Feng Chen paused, and was about to remind Feng Yue, but Feng Yue had already said, "This is not yet. When my concubine and sister-in-law mentioned this, I was so worried again! This old thief Qin Jian is really ignorant of the world. He dares to make a knife with such a character as my emperor!"
Feng Chen sighed.
Bai Jinyu had already lost the bottles and jars in her hand and fryed them: "Get a knife? What's going on?"
Feng Chen winked at Feng Yue, and Feng Yue opened his mouth and closed it again.
Seeing this, Bai Jinyu stretched out his hand to block Feng Chen's eyes and said to Feng Yue: "Don't look at him! What kind of demon did Shangshu Qin be? Please tell the truth to His Highness the King of Qin!"
Feng Yue looked at Bai Jinyu and was so stupid. What kind of powerful existence is His Highness King Jin in the Great Conquest Dynasty? He has always been the only one who protects people. He never thought that anyone would protect him?!
Moreover, the person who protected her was a beautiful and charming beauty, and she was so domineering and unspeakable...
Feng Yue suddenly felt an unprecedented envy in his heart: Although this woman was a little overconfident when she was so arrogant, but...
His heart surged, and he immediately decided to tell the matter to the concubine and sister-in-law.
It turns out that the cause was the eighteen beauties brought by Sima Xuan from Xi Zhao.
Even though Feng Chen wanted to avoid gossiping about him visiting Sima Xuan, he thought about the reason why Sima Xuan asked if the eighteen beauties were suitable for giving to His Majesty the Emperor. He also went to the palace as soon as possible after coming out of Baihua Garden yesterday. However, in the court today, Shangshu Ling Qin Jian still gave Feng Chen a private meeting with the kings of other countries.
The reason for saying things was even exactly the same as they thought yesterday: when the king of Nanping entered Chang'an, he did not first visit His Majesty the Emperor, but first met His Highness King Jin, which was incompatible with Yu Li.
The point is that in addition to the incompatibility of Yu Li, they also added four words, "The motivation is impure"!
"I had a premonition about this old thief doing this. He is holding a grudge against His Highness for several things!"
Bai Jinyu said: "What's the matter?"
"Stop talking about Feng Yue!" Feng Chen made a direct call to stop Feng Yue, and then turned to Bai Jinyu and said seriously: "The harem in the court cannot interfere in politics, so naturally our mansion will do the same."
Bai Jinyu's mouth was even more serious than him: "I am too lazy to know other people's affairs! If it were your highness, I wouldn't ask too much about other affairs, but, now someone is going to harm you! How can I sit back and watch? Unless... you don't treat me as my own!" With Feng Yue present, she had to "comrade" one by one.
Feng Chen said: "That's not what I mean."
Bai Jinyu turned his head: "Then your highness thinks that my concubines are people who can only share wealth and honor but not suffering!"
Feng Chen pulled her back and turned around: "Okay, it's not that you share irresistible hardships, it's that I don't want you to share terrible hardships with me."
Bai Jinyu frowned when she heard this, and immediately turned her head back, and couldn't persuade her.
Feng Yue looked at this scene with his hands supporting his cheeks and his eyes turned around, and he was completely stunned.
"Tell me."
After a stalemate for a while, Feng Chen said to Feng Yue, with three points in his voice helplessness and three points defeat, four points be pampered.
Feng Yue continued to stay until Bai Jinyu turned around and met his gaze, and then suddenly came to his senses. Then he said: "First, the emperor's brother thoroughly investigated the fraud in the scientific investigation and Yao Shuang's affairs, which ruined his three generals in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of War! As the Shangshu Ling, who commanded the six ministries, Qin Jian lost half of his country at once. How could he not hold a grudge against the emperor?"
After Feng Yue mentioned this, Bai Jinyu was shocked to realize that Feng Chen had removed several big shots in the past few months, and he was so tough! It was impossible for Feng Chen and Qin Jian to become his enemy without making such a terrible Feng Chen!
Bai Jinyu couldn't help but turn her eyes to Feng Chen. Such a powerful person was hers!
"You just said that Qin Jian had several things that were harsh on His Highness? What else?"
"Isn't it because the emperor refused him to stuff people into the mansion several times?"
Bai Jinyu: "Ah?"
Feng Yue said in surprise: "Don't you know about the concubine and sister-in-law?"
Bai Jinyu looked at Feng Chen and didn't know whether to answer "know" or "don't know". She really didn't know whether Su Lihua knew.
Feng Chen replied for her: "Your concubine and sister-in-law don't know."
Feng Yue slapped his thighs and said, "I'm telling you, sister-in-law," many people have planned to let the emperor's brother take a small role in the past two years. Among them, Concubine Wu and Shangshu Qin are the most serious! At first they fought each other, but later they were in a mess and recommended many famous ladies to the emperor. Well, I suspect that the rumors that the concubine and sister-in-law and the emperor's brother were also the ones they deliberately made."
Refusing to marry?
Bai Jinyu was shocked and distressed, and she was barely stuck for a while. Feng Yue said a few simple words, and God knew how much pressure Feng Chen had to withstand. Especially after Yu He left, Su Lihua had not had any of the days.
"You refused?"
Bai Jinyu didn't want to cry, but as she asked, two tears rolled down without blinking.
Feng Chen had gentle eyebrows and eyes, reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and teased, "I am afraid of you."
Bai Jinyu laughed again with a "puff" sound.
The pear blossoms burst into tears and laughed with rain. A pair of beautiful women played a role in front of them. Feng Yue was stunned. Until Bai Jinyu said to him, "The last time I saw the Secretary of Qin, I was still leaving the country, and this person was indeed much more powerful than when he quelled the Zheng King's Rebellion!"
Feng Yue snorted: "It's not just a mighty man? It's just a matter of covering the sky! It's his normal behavior to control the government. Now there is no suspicious person in each prefecture and department? Even our princes and princes cannot escape. There was a suspicious person two days ago when we went to the palace! But what can we do? There is not enough evidence to prevent people from being dealt with, and I can't kill people. There is no other way except to expel people from the palace!"
Bai Jinyu was frightened when she heard this, and turned around and grabbed Feng Chen's hand and asked, "Does our Jin Palace also have eyeliners?"
Feng Chen patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "No."
