concubine queen

Chapter 7 Request to enter the palace
The old lady and Li Fengxi were talking, when they saw Mo Ruzhi coming, they didn't continue.

"Mother, Ru Zhi came to see the painting." The Prime Minister explained.

"Ruzhi greets the old lady." Mo Ruzhi hurriedly gave a thoughtful salute, fearing to leave a bad impression on the old lady.

The old lady nodded in satisfaction. Although Mo Ruzhi was originally a princess, she should be pampered, but in the Li Mansion, Mo Ruzhi has always kept herself safe and gave birth to another daughter, Li Zhaoran, which is considered meritorious.

"This is Fengxi, she looks really pretty. The old lady is really lucky. Sister Ruan Hua has worked hard." Mo Ruzhi looked at Li Fengxi and couldn't help boasting.

"Hello Erniang." Feng Xi slightly bent his knees.

"Don't be so ostentatious, just call me Aunt Mo. I really look like Sister Ruan, but if you look closely, I still look a little more like a master." Mo Ruzhi stepped forward and took Li Fengxi's hands.

Ruan Hua sighed inwardly for Mo Ruzhi's good acting skills. Feng Xi was the servant girl of the third lady she gave birth to before, how could she not recognize her?It's ridiculous, Mo Ruzhi, don't think you can fool me with your disguise in front of the old lady and the master.

"Accordingly, Fengxi should call you that." Ruan Hua said calmly.

Mo Ruzhi's face twitched faintly, no one could see it except Ruan Hua, Mo Ruzhi cursed inwardly, "Ruan Hua, I didn't expect that I have been planning for so many years, and I am not as thoughtful as you."Isn't it just for this moment to make her daughter bear the burden for so many years?Let the master sympathize, so that I can give you a title, so that I can give your daughter a title?Hmph, don't think I don't know what's on your mind!I will not let you succeed!
"Oh, sister Ruan, don't be like this. By the way, my Fengxi should be 12 years old this year. A few days ago, we Zhaoran just got married, and Captain Ma and his son came to congratulate me. Captain Ma's son is a man of talent, why not..."

The prime minister bowed his head in thought, indeed, at Fengxi's age, it is time to get engaged, Ma Duwei's family background is not bad, although Fengxi is his own child, but he was born of a concubine, Ma Duwei's sons are not bad in appearance.The prime minister thought about it and moved his mind.

"Master, Fengxi is still young, so there is no need to rush to find someone else for her." Ruan Hua anxiously persuaded the prime minister, while secretly scolding Mo Ruzhi in her heart. No one else knew about Captain Ma's son, but she knew it. When she was in school, she would flirt with pretty maids when she saw them. If Feng Xi followed such a person, wouldn't it be too much of a disadvantage.

Li Fengxi didn't seem to be in a hurry, she just stood there without saying anything, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

The prime minister thought about it, and he was right, Yan'er hadn't married yet, so why rush to marry off his beloved daughter, it's better to spend a few more days with her.

"Well, let's do what Hua'er wants. We'll think about this matter later. The most important thing now is for Hua'er to take good care of your health." The prime minister turned around and said to Mo Ruzhi, "Ruzhi, Hua'er is not in good health. Let's go back."

Mo Ruzhi nodded and had no choice but to leave.

After Mo Ruzhi left, the old lady also said that she was a little tired and was helped back by the servant girl.

Li Fengxi watched her mother start to be respected in this family, and felt comforted in her heart. Fortunately, the hard work of more than ten years was not in vain.Next year is the time for the draft, and she happens to be in the round. Normally, only people like Li Yaner and Li Zhaoran are eligible to enter the palace, but because Li Yaner was born in the royal family and the daughter of the general's younger sister, the prime minister is afraid of being feared by the emperor. She was not allowed to enter the palace, and Li Zhaoran was not allowed to enter the palace because she was favored by the son of the Minister of Rites early on.Li Fengxi thought that going to the palace was much better than staying at home and waiting for her father to decide the marriage for her. As a concubine, no matter how much her father loves her mother, she cannot exceed the rules.

"Father, Fengxi will be 13 years old next year. Fengxi wants to enter the palace, and I hope my father will do it." Li Fengxi said the words without hesitation.

The prime minister was startled, and seeing Feng Xi's firm eyes, she seemed determined to enter the palace, but the harem was a place where people cannibalized, and her daughter didn't know it after entering. .

"Master, since Fengxi wants to enter the palace, let her agree." Ruan Hua on the bed knew what her daughter was thinking, so she naturally helped her.

The prime minister listened to Ruan Hua's words, his heart paused, the emperor had just succeeded to the throne for only three years, if there was no daughter of his own to enter the palace in this draft, I'm afraid he would be even more suspicious.Besides, Feng Xi seems to be very intelligent, so she won't necessarily be at a disadvantage if she enters the palace.

"Next August is the time for the draft. During this period, you must study etiquette well. If you need a teacher, just ask for it."

After hearing this, Feng Xi understood that his father had agreed, and immediately saluted.

"Fengxi thanked my father. Fengxi will definitely live up to my father's and mother's hopes."

Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, the prime minister nodded in relief.If the second daughter was still alive, it would not be Feng Xi who entered the palace to suffer.

After the prime minister sat for a while, he got up and left. He was a prime minister and had many business affairs, so he could only leave.

Feng Xi sat beside Ruan Hua, gently holding her hand.

"Mother, thank you."

Feeling her daughter's emotions, Ruan Hua sighed softly. She was born in a wealthy family, and the prime minister's family in power, but she is a concubine. The future of her daughter is really worrying.Because of the prime minister's love for her, both the first lady and the second lady pointed their fingers at her, but if the daughter enters the palace and has a certain status, not only will the daughter's second half of her life not be in danger, her position will not be shaken .But the palace is a place where people cannibalize, and she is really worried about asking her daughter to go there.

"Ah Xiao, although your father is still protecting us now, but entering the palace, it is difficult to guard against open swords and hidden arrows. You have to be more careful."

Feng Xi held her mother's hand with more strength, but her mother didn't call her Feng Xi, which proved that her mother still hoped that she would be the original Ah Xiao. When her mother gave her this name, she hoped that she would live a happy life.

But she knows that as long as she enters the palace, she may be unhappy for the rest of her life, but she is Li Fengxi, she will not let herself be unhappy.She wants to fight the world!
"Mother, don't worry, Ah Xiao will protect herself. Not only must she protect herself, she must also become the number one woman in the palace!"

There was light in Fengxi's eyes, that kind of light was a kind of conviction, a kind of firmness, Ruan Hua saw it clearly, and lamented in her heart her daughter's lofty ambition and the impermanence of the world.She has never wanted her daughter to appear, she just didn't want her to be involved in this kind of life, but since this is already the case, she might as well let her daughter do it.

"Ah Xiao, remember, don't be complacent just because of a little bit of promotion, wait until you actually sit in that position, and then really laugh out loud."

Feng Xi nodded, her mother was telling her not to be short-sighted, but to stand the test.
