concubine queen

Chapter 11 Meeting the Prime Minister

Feng Xi looked at Li Yifei, only then realized that he should be about the same age as her.

"Can you read?"

Li Yifei nodded.

Feng Xi was satisfied, it would be easier if she knew how to read, but why didn't she speak all the time, could it be because Ning Tong was here?
"Ningtong, I want to eat some snacks." Feng Xi had a greedy look on his face.

Ningtong smiled and said, "Understood, miss, this servant will get it for you."

Feng Xi nodded, and waited for Ning Tong to walk out the door before she turned her attention to Li Yifei again.

"You should be able to talk."

Li Yifei also knew in his heart that if he didn't speak at this moment, Feng Xi might get angry.

"Yifei thank you for saving my life. I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of causing trouble. Please forgive me."

Feng Xi didn't blame him very much, after all, he was just a little beggar before, and that kind of life was not easy, so it is understandable for him not to speak.

"I think you are not an ordinary beggar, presumably, you are..."

Feng Xi stopped talking here, looked at Li Yifei, and waited for him to speak.

How could Li Yifei not understand, and lowered his head at this moment.

"It doesn't matter who Yifei used to be, the important thing is that he will be just a servant of the Li family from now on."

Feng Xi was secretly surprised, this person seemed not as simple as she thought earlier, he was indeed not an ordinary person.He can be regarded as a talent, he showed his loyalty as soon as he entered the mansion, but he can talk and do things, it seems that his father will definitely keep him.

"Since that's the case, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind in the future. I will tell daddy to let you go to school. If daddy appreciates you and recognizes you as a foster son, it's not impossible."

Feng Xi's words are reasonable. Although the prime minister said that he had two wives before, neither of them gave birth to a young master, they were all just young ladies.In addition, the prime minister is not a person who loves beauty, and thinking about it, it may be impossible to take concubines in the future, so it is possible to find an outstanding adopted son to inherit the family business.

"Yifei will definitely live up to Miss's attention."

Li Yifei is grateful to Fengxi, the days of being a beggar are indeed not very pleasant.If Master hadn't told him to endure until Feng Xi appeared, otherwise he would have gone back.

At this time, Ning Tong came back, holding a plate of snacks in her hand.

"Miss, this is brought by the maidservant before dinner, eat it quickly."

Feng Xi nodded with a smile, took a snack, and handed it to Li Yifei first.

"I know you must be empty, eat quickly."

Li Yifei couldn't believe it and was stunned.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Feng Xi directly stuffed it into his hand, then took a snack and started eating.

Li Yifei slowly picked up the snack and took the first bite, feeling sore in his heart. In the past 14 years, he lived in darkness. Even with the teaching and care of his master, no one cared so much regardless of his status. Master was right. This person must be his savior.

Feng Xi didn't know that her unintentional actions would make Li Yifei so devoted to her that he would spend his whole life protecting her and living for her.

Ning Tong was a bit appreciative at the side.

"Miss, you really have a new favorite and forget about your old one. Tong'er hasn't eaten yet."

Feng Xi burst out laughing when he heard this, and Li Yifei's face turned slightly red.Feng Xi didn't even look at it, just took a snack and stuffed Ning Tong's mouth.

"You little girl, you're the only one who has a lot to do, eat quickly. Hahaha." Feng Xi felt funny when she saw that Ningtong was gagged and unable to speak.

Ning Tong felt aggrieved on the face but sweet in her heart, so she ate some snacks.

After a while, it was finally time for dinner, so Fengxi and Ningtong went to the front hall together, and placed Li Yifei in the room on Fengxi's right first, planning to bring him in front of the prime minister after dinner introduce.

In the front hall, the old lady had already arrived, and the prime minister was sitting beside the old lady.Ruan Hua was allowed to eat in the house by the prime minister because of his health.At this time, Mo Ruzhi was sitting next to the prime minister, and Li Zhaoran was next to Mo Ruzhi.Feng Xi saluted the old lady first, then saluted his father and Mo Ruzhi, and then sat beside the old lady.

"Fengxi, Erniang heard that you went out today?" Mo Ruzhi probably knew of Li Yifei's existence when he said this.

Feng Xi originally wanted to talk about it after dinner, but it seemed that he couldn't do it.

"Yes, Erniang. Grandmother, father, Fengxi went out today and ordered clothes, and even saved a little beggar."

Now Mo Ruzhi didn't speak anymore, Feng Xi had already said it herself, even if she wanted to embarrass Feng Xi, she couldn't help it.

On the contrary, the prime minister and the old lady were very pleased with Feng Xi's act of saving people, and the young ladies of their prime minister's mansion couldn't lose their kindness.

"Oh, let's hear it." The Prime Minister and his mother exchanged glances, and both of them looked at Feng Xi with interest.

Feng Xi knew that her father and grandmother would not blame her, so she continued.

"Because the little beggar stole something from a big brother, he was chased by that big brother, knocking down Feng Xi and Ningtong. The big brother caught him and was about to do it. Feng Xi thought that although the little beggar stole things, but It was a last resort. If the emperor knew that his people were hungry and went to steal, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. Similarly, Feng Xi couldn't bear to see the little beggar being beaten, so he asked the little beggar to return the things and persuaded the little beggar The elder brother let him go. Fengxi saw that the little beggar had clear eyes and he was not a person with bad nature, so he brought him back. He ordered someone to clean him, and now he is in Fengxi’s yard. Originally, Fengxi wanted to wait to eat After the meal, bring him to see his father. But since Erniang mentioned it, Feng Xi had no choice but to speak out first. Feng Xi asked grandmother and father to punish him for not thinking carefully."

After Fengxi finished talking in such a long list, Mo Ruzhi felt angry after hearing it. She originally wanted to let the master down on Fengxi, but she didn't expect Fengxi to dismiss her words in just a few words.

The prime minister and the old lady naturally wouldn't blame Feng Xi, although men and women were different, but Feng Xi had a good heart, and it wasn't too much to think about it, let alone just a little beggar.Feng Xi can think of the emperor, it seems that he has a relatively long-term vision, and his eyes are full of appreciation.

"Why would dad and grandma blame you? You are kind. Well, let's eat first. After dinner, bring him to the study for dad to see."

Although the prime minister was also curious about what the little beggar was like, it was time for dinner, and the old lady was still here, so the family rules could not be broken.But Mo Ruzhi didn't know what she was paying attention to. Is dealing with Fengxi something she would do?The prime minister suddenly didn't like Mo Ruzhi very much. Before, he thought she had been wronged for so many years, but now he felt that she was the same as the previous Liu Shi, aggressive, thinking about how to fight for favor all day, which was annoying.

How did Mo Ruzhi know that the prime minister's attitude towards her had changed a lot in this short period of time, she only knew that Feng Xi was not a simple character, she hated and thought that she must give her a good look next time.

Feng Xi felt relieved, Mo Ruzhi wanted to embarrass her, but it was not so easy to do.Li Zhaoran is much wiser than her mother. Feng Xi used to be her maid, and Li Zhaoran knew it well, so since Feng Xi became the Fourth Miss, Li Zhaoran rarely provoked her.

After eating, the old lady went back first because she was not feeling well.Mo Ruzhi and Li Zhaoran's mother and daughter also left in a hurry because they were busy discussing how to deal with Fengxi.

Feng Xi waited until the maids cleared the dining table, then asked Ning Tong to take Li Yifei to his father's study.She followed the prime minister into the study.

"Fengxi, although you did the right thing about today's matter, you still have to take into account that you are a daughter's family. If someone with a heart listens to this matter, it will be detrimental to your entry into the palace."

The prime minister's words are not without reason. If the royal family finds out, they will definitely say that she has no manners.

Feng Xi nodded, "Thank you father for your concern."

The prime minister was relieved that among the three daughters, Fengxi was the one who gave him the most peace of mind.The eldest daughter used to be too arrogant and self-centered in everything. She did things without thinking and was not stable enough.Since Mrs. Liu's death, she has been devastated and slumped all day long.And there was originally a second daughter, also born to Liu, whose real name was Li Zhaomin, who died when she was eight years old. Zhaomin was a very sensible girl, but it's a pity...the third daughter born to Mo Ruzhi The girl Li Zhaoran, although she usually seems to have no shortcomings, is actually a bit arrogant, but because Mo is not a big family, she dare not make mistakes easily.Seeing that Feng Xi was the only one who made him feel gratified, Ruan Hua was also responsible for this, she was also a calm and polite person on weekdays, her daughter, of course, would not be so bad.

"Master, miss, the servant has brought you here."

There was Ning Tong's crisp voice outside the door.

"Come in." The prime minister said.

Ningtong opened the door and walked in, with Li Yifei behind.

The prime minister didn't speak first, but called out to Li Yifei, who bowed his head slightly when he saw his jade-like appearance.It doesn't look like a bad seedling, so I know my daughter is right.

"What's your name."

"Master Hui, the younger one's name is Li Yifei, and it's the name given by Miss Fourth." Li Yifei still didn't raise his head.

The prime minister looked at Feng Xi.

"Father, my daughter gave him a name, and he is a member of our Li family." Feng Xi hurriedly explained.

The prime minister nodded, yes, no matter what his name was before, he must be called Li Yifei from now on.The prime minister looked at Li Yifei and was satisfied.

"Since Miss Fourth saved you, from now on, you should follow Miss Fourth. Before Miss Fourth enters the palace, protect Miss Fourth well."

Li Yifei was just about to answer, but Feng Xi spoke first.

"Father, why does my daughter need someone to protect her? My daughter sees him as a good seedling, why don't you send him to school."

When the prime minister heard these words, he thought deeply. What his daughter said reminded him that although he had three daughters, he did not have a son. Now Li Yifei, who was rescued by his daughter, was very handsome. , but you can consider being a adopted son and gaining fame in the future.He is old, and he will step down from a high position in the future. If an adopted son enters the court and becomes an official, he may be able to help his daughter so that she will not have no support after entering the palace.
