Empress Fenghua

Chapter 645
He Xiaomin walked into Wuyan's military tent in Xiliang, with a dignified look on his face.Xiliang Wuyan raised his eyelids and glanced, "What's wrong?"

He Xiaomin handed over the letter in his hand, "This is a letter from Princess Dingguo, please read it personally, Your Majesty!"

Xiliang Wuyan paused, then laughed, "It's just a letter, why are you so preoccupied?"

He Xiaomin sighed, "Third sister's letter at this time may be detrimental to the war in Ling Kingdom!"

"Oh? You actually think that way?" Xiliang Wuyan was a little surprised, "Then what's the disadvantage of you talking about it?"

He Xiaomin frowned, "At this time, Zhong Lichun had just passed away, and she was unable to support her alone in the court. Whether Zhong Lichun had any children, choosing an heir was the biggest difficulty. Manchu civil and military would choose the emperor who was related to him. If relatives succeed to the throne, if there is a slight deviation, they will lose everything. As a woman, it is not easy for her to control the government. If she continues to influence the succession of the throne, she may be said to be a disaster for the country. Your help!"

Xiliang read the letter silently, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Then you tell me what conditions she will ask me?"

"I'm afraid it's impossible to withdraw a few cities, but delaying time is certain!"

A flash of admiration flashed in Xiliang Wuyan's eyes, "As expected of her chosen brother-in-law, he is indeed thoughtful!"

He Xiaomin asked eagerly, "Then the emperor intends to promise her?"

"You think I shouldn't agree?"

"Yes!"

Xiliang silently turned around and looked at He Xiaomin seriously, "But she is your wife's sister, my empress!"

He Xiaomin frowned, cupped his fists and saluted, "If the emperor says she is your empress, then she shouldn't be in Dingguo to preside over the overall situation and stand on the opposite side of you. She is the third sister of the minister, indeed, But the minister is also the general of the Ling Kingdom. From the beginning of this war, we have been on the opposite side!"

Xiliang silently looked at He Xiaomin's worried gaze, and couldn't help but thump in his heart, "Then if you two meet on the battlefield one day, would you kill her if you had the chance?"

He Xiaomin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then finally shook his head, "I can't!"

"That's it!" Xiliang smiled silently, "Not everything can be so heartless, Dingguo is already in my hands, I can wait for more than half a month!"

Linhua Palace.

Hua Zhong was dressed in court clothes, and the golden tassels on her head set off her independent temperament.Her pedigree does not allow her to be a person who falls into the dust, and she will attract everyone's attention as soon as she appears on the stage!

Hua Zhong looked at the boy kneeling obediently on the ground. At his age, he might be enjoying his leisure time and studying, but now he was involved in this court.Hua Zhong lightly shook his head, sighing in his heart, not knowing whether it was happiness or worry!
"You..." Hua Zhong hesitated to speak, "Is it Zhongli Feifan?"

The boy behaved elegantly and gracefully, "His Royal Highness Huichang, Zhongli, the grandson of King Yong, is extraordinary!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, "You are not a minister yet! Since you know the name of Prince Yong's grandson, you naturally know that you have no official title. Isn't it a bit abrupt to call yourself like this? Besides, why didn't you say that you are the son of Prince Yong's son?" ? Ordinary children say this.” It’s rare to mention your grandfather instead of your father!

Zhongli Feifei raised his head, his eyes were like stars, "Returning to the Eldest Princess, although Feifan has no official title and cannot inherit the title of king, Feifei has already put the country's affairs at heart in Feifan's heart, so calling himself a humble minister It can be regarded as Fanfan's concern and responsibility for my country. As for grandfather..." Zhongli Feifan frowned, showing a trace of helplessness, "Although Fanfan knows that it is disrespectful to say this, but as a child of Zhongli Clan, Feifan really does not want to let Zhongli Clan shame!"

The whole court was in an uproar, and even King Yong frowned. Saying these words in front of the world was tantamount to admitting that his father was a playboy and a man who had no regard for business.
King Yong quickly stood up, "His Royal Highness forgives the sin, Fei Fei is still young, and still has a sense of justice in dealing with injustice, let alone what happened around him? In the end, the old minister has no way to teach."

Hua Zhong smiled disapprovingly, "Since Uncle Yong is here, let's stay here for now! However, the harem has been busy with the late emperor's business these days, so it's not so spacious. Uncle Yong, Shizi, Shizifei, and Zhongli Feifan are all fine." Live in the palace, but the rest of the entourage should leave the palace and go to the posthouse!"

King Yong couldn't help frowning, "Yes!"

Qingluan Palace.

Hua Zhong is lighting the lamps, and she has had this habit since Zhong Lichun's death. There are 81 lamps in Qingluan Hall every night, no matter how busy she is, she lights them up with her own hands!It is said that Jiujiu 81 lamps can summon souls, and can attract souls.She hoped to see Zhonglichun again!
Su Wen pushed open the door and walked in, the candle that Hua Zhong just lit jumped up.

"Prince Yong's concubine is here!" Su Wen said in a deep voice, "And Murong Feifei is punished tonight!"

Hua Zhong paused and nodded.Su Wen turned to leave, and a gorgeous yet elegant figure walked in.Hua Zhong seemed to be able to see her small movements of embarrassment, as well as her bowed head, her pair of willow eyebrows were twisted together because of being cautious.

"The concubine sees Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Hua Zhong turned her head and smiled brightly, "Please come up, Princess Concubine!"

Mrs. Chen couldn't help being taken aback, looking at the Hua Zhong's smile in the place where the lights were on and off, she was a little distracted, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, this concubine just, I just didn't expect that Your Highness would be so beautiful, and I was shocked for a moment. That's why..."

Hua Zhong stretched his sleeves and waved his hands, "It's okay! I'm not a small-hearted person, and I don't care about so many rules, so I invite the Crown Princess to come here!"

Chen saluted respectfully, "I don't know why Your Royal Highness is looking for a concubine?"

Hua relit the last lamp and looked at the whole palace, "Prince Princess, do you know how many palace lanterns there are?"

Chen looked around and said cautiously, "Usually, according to the etiquette system, there should be 66 lamps, but here it seems that there are more than 66 lamps!"

"You're right, there are 99 palace lanterns here." Hua Zhong smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "You must think that this palace has surpassed the rules of etiquette, only the emperor's palace is allowed to light so many palace lanterns , right? But to tell you the truth, these palace lanterns are not lit for the palace, but for the late emperor!"

Chen frowned, "Is Your Highness Missing the Emperor in this way?"

Hua Zhong said indifferently, "It is, it is not! Because the master of the Qingluan Palace may also use these 99 palace lanterns to declare his identity."

"His Royal Highness means that Fan Fei will live in Qingluan Hall in the future?"

Chen's eyes were full of worry, and even pleaded, shining under the pearly light.

Hua Zhong looked at the Chen family silently, "Does the concubine really hope that Fei Fei can become the emperor? Once Fei Fei ascends the throne, you will be the Empress Dowager. This is the supreme glory of a woman. Maybe it is something you never dare to think about in your life. With the extraordinary ascension to the throne, your elder brother will also usher in the pinnacle of power that he has never touched in his entire life! You and the Chen family will have inexhaustible prosperity and power. From now on, the world will change hands! "

The Chen clan knelt on the ground with a plop, "His Royal Highness, in fact, in fact, this concubine does not want Fei Fei to ascend the throne!"

She seemed to say this with the determination to die, so that her whole body was trembling, and she couldn't even take a second look at Huahua!

"You are so hypocritical, could it be that your brother Chen Mingzhong asked you to act for Bengong?" Hua Zhong snorted disapprovingly, "It's a pity that your brother has used up all of Bengong's patience, so I won't do it again." Go and trust you! The concubine Shizi has never been able to marry someone she thought she was a lover in her whole life, all because of your brother's help. I heard that you were not only beautiful in appearance but also outstanding in writing. You were a good daughter, but you were married by your black-hearted brother. The son of Prince Yong who has corrupted virtues. His purpose is to climb the dragon and become the phoenix!"

"But I didn't expect that you were not favored by the prince, but instead became more and more neglected. It was not until you gave birth to Zhongli Feifan that you gained a firm foothold in the Yongwang Mansion. But Zhongli Feifan was taken away by Yongwang and trained, and he could only be with you every day. You see each other. You mother and child are tormented conservatively, including Zhongli Feifan himself." Hua Zhong turned to look at Chen who was kneeling on the ground, "Is what I said wrong?"

Mrs. Chen prostrated herself on the ground, "What Her Royal Highness said is true. In order to cultivate Fei Fei into a talent, my father has been forcing Fei Fei to do many things. If Fei Fei is negligent, he will beat and scold. As a mother, I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart. This time, 1 concubines are unwilling to adopt a stepchild! The concubines are well aware of their thoughts and goals, and Fei Fei is just a puppet, a pawn!"
