Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 284
Royal study.

Pei Yao is reviewing the memorial.

Suddenly the ink brush froze, and his brows frowned.

Hong Zheng, who was studying ink at the side, noticed that his complexion was not right, so he quietly looked at the memorial from the corner of his eye, and saw words such as Fang's family and the criminal minister's daughter written on it.

Just look at it and you will understand that this is Concubine Zhao who participated in the performance.

Who is so bold?

However, before Hong Zheng could see the name below, Pei Yao closed the memorial and threw it aside.

After serving Pei Yao for so long, Hong Zheng felt cleared when he saw his actions.

It must have been ignored.

Unexpectedly, after today's memorial was approved, there were three of them that mentioned Fang Yun's matter.

Nothing new, one said that Pei Yao doted on Fang Yun too much, the repair of Yuzhang Palace was too extravagant, and the other was that Fang Yun was the daughter of a sinful minister and could not afford to be a concubine, even though she had contributed to the birth of the emperor's heir, and raised the second princess .

In the past, no one commented on Fang Yun's affairs, but now that he stands in a conspicuous position, it's easy to provoke disputes.

Hong Zheng sighed in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face.

After waiting for Pei Yao to wash his hands and change his clothes, he listened to Pei Yao's instructions.

"Go to Yuzhang Palace, I'm going to see Concubine Zhao and the Fourth Prince."

"Yes." Hong Zheng nodded, and then ordered loudly outside, "Show Yuzhang Palace!"

Not long after, Yu Huan arrived.

A young eunuch had seen it from a distance at the gate and passed it on, so when Pei Yao arrived, Fang Yun was already waiting at the gate of the palace.

"The courtiers and concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe."

"no."

Pei Yao stepped forward and gave her a hand.

"The emperor is here now, why don't you hold an umbrella, the sun is still shining, and the herbal tea is just hanging out in the room, the emperor is coming to have a rest." Fang Yun got up, his tone was gentle, muttering like a little daughter-in-law.

While talking, he took Pei Yao's hand and went into the room.

Looking at the slender figure beside her, Pei Yao's eyes softened a bit.

After entering the hall and sitting down, Fang Jun poured herbal tea and ordered Yan Wei to go to the small kitchen to serve a bowl of lily lotus seed ice cream.

"Although it's hot, you've just given birth, so it's not advisable to be greedy for cold food. You should eat less of these iced foods." Seeing that she was prepared, Pei Yao warned her.

Fang Yun pinched the round fan and shook it gently, with a helpless face.

"How can my concubines have the luxury to enjoy these things? The imperial doctor Zeng ordered them to drink warm water in summer. These are still prepared for the emperor."

While speaking, he waved to Qing Rong.

"Go and show that fancy pattern to the emperor."

"What kind of fancy?"

Pei Yao took a sip of herbal tea and asked doubtfully.

Fang Yun smiled, "Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, the old clothes can no longer be worn, and two new pajamas should be made. The ministers and concubines have been idle for the past two days, and they have just embroidered. The emperor will see if he likes it."

While speaking, a piece of pajamas was brought out.

In terms of embroidery work, Fang Jun's skills are of course nothing to say, it is exquisite and majestic, and the patterns are also unique and fresh, it looks like it was made by her own hands, not something made by the embroiderer in the palace according to the regulations.

"Of course I like what you make, but your body."

"As long as the emperor likes it."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yun's slender index finger tapped his lips lightly.

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, and then saw the starlight in the beautiful eyes of the woman in front of her, full of tenderness.

"The concubine knows that the emperor loves the concubine, but the concubine does not love the concubine. The emperor has suffered a lot from the position of the prince to the present. The emperor protects the concubine and has children with the concubine. In the concubine's heart, The emperor is the concubine's husband, and the concubine can't help the emperor with other things, and this is the only thing he cares about."

Probably because she really became a mother, the sense of calm in front of Yoon is lazy and casual, pure and innocent, like a child who doesn't know much about the world.

But now there is more lingering tenderness, like water and wind, which can comfort people's hearts even more.

"You."

Pei Yao helplessly raised the corners of his lips, took the woman's hand and put it down.

"Others only look at me now inheriting the country and ascending to the position of Ninth Five-Year Master, that is, you, thinking of my hard work, and not saying those flattering words."

"The high-sounding words are naturally pleasant to hear, but I get tired of hearing them too much. My concubine is an ordinary person, and I only hope that my concubine's husband will eat and drink well, be healthy and safe, and everything goes well." Fang Yun said seriously.

At the end, she raised her brows, "Not to mention these things, the emperor has a comparison, the size of this pajamas is quite suitable."

There is a limit to sensationalism, just a few words.

Pei Yao was moved at this moment, so he naturally followed her, stood up and let her compare.

Naturally, it was suitable, after all, his figure had hardly changed, and he was thinner than before.

The two talked for a while, and then asked the wet nurse to bring the fourth prince over to have a look.

After raising her for more than two months, she is much fatter than when she was born, which is a relief.

"To honor the late emperor, we have not been able to hold a full moon banquet for the child. When he is one year old, we must hold a good one." Pei Yao said with regret.

Fang Yun nodded, "The emperor loves you, the fourth prince must be safe and well."

While talking, the second princess ran in.

The little girl was well-behaved and cute, and greeted Fang Yun and Pei Yao in a childlike voice imitating the appearance of a nurse. Her small appearance was lovable, and immediately brightened the atmosphere in the hall a lot.

Seeing a chessboard on the table, she begged Fang Yun to play chess with her.

It's all here, and Pei Yao naturally joins the battle.

In the end, Fang Yun and the second girl were on the side, and Pei Yao was on the side.

Don't look at the little girl who doesn't understand the rules, but it's fine if she can make trouble!

When looking back to see whether he could win the game, Fang Yun deliberately led the second princess to disrupt the chessboard.

Pei Yao pretended to be angry, "Don't play anymore, don't play anymore, you mother and daughter play tricks together, I will lose no matter what."

"Your Majesty, don't wrong your ministers and concubines, it's the Second Princess who is naughty." Fang Yun insisted on playing tricks to the end.

The second princess didn't know what her father, mother and concubine were talking about, and she smiled sweetly.

Not to mention, this child grew up next to Fang Yun, and the mother and daughter still have some resemblance in charm, really like mother and daughter.

Pei Yao couldn't bear to criticize the two sweet candies, one big and one small, so he had to raise his hands in surrender.

After sitting for so long, it was somewhat boring in the palace.

Now it was almost time for dinner, and the sun was not shining so much outside, so the two got up and wandered around the small garden next to Yuzhang Palace.

When the news reached Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Yang had just gone to see the third prince before returning to the palace, her face was gloomy when she heard it.

Although she didn't like the weak third prince, she was her own son anyway.

I was separated from my own son, mother and son, not to mention that Fang Yun raised a pair of children here, and Pei Yao was with him for half a day, how could he feel happy?

So within four or five days, the excerpts that Pei Yao had ignored earlier, who participated in the performance of Fang Yun, directly became the current advice of the ministers in the court.

"Your Majesty, I think Concubine Zhao is the daughter of the sinful minister Fang Hongshen. Even if she has merit in serving the Emperor and giving birth to an imperial heir, but the merits and demerits balance out, the Emperor should not be so favored and give her the position of the second rank."

"The Yuzhang Palace where the Fang family lives was ordered by the emperor to be repaired in advance. It is exquisite and complicated, and it is extravagant!"

"Even if the emperor doesn't care about Concubine Zhao's background, after all Concubine Zhao is a concubine, and the empress is the emperor's first wife. If the Emperor loves Concubine Zhao so much, it is inevitable that people will worry that the emperor will spoil his concubine and destroy his wife!"
