Chapter 317 164:

The next day, according to the usual rules, the envoys of the Qi State will go to the palace to meet the emperor to submit the letter of credence, and Chu Yin will also go. Hearing that Concubine Chu has been in a bad mood for the past two days, Feng Yunshu has to go to see it, because she will not return to the mansion if she has Yan. Accompanying Fu Zhongqi to relieve boredom, Fu Yue was fine, so he simply went with him.

The birthday banquet is approaching, and the decoration in the palace is even more grand and festive than the outside. There are colorful silks and lanterns hanging everywhere, and the red carpet will be laid on the day of the birthday banquet. It is said that the place where the birthday banquet is held is the Ziqiang Square. The decoration has already begun, and it is also very lively.

Since they came to see Concubine Chu, Fu Yue and Feng Yunshu went to visit Concubine Chu's palace first. Concubine Chu was indeed ill. She said that she had accidentally contracted a cold two days ago. It wasn't serious, so they didn't alarm others. , but after taking the medicine for the past two days, it didn't seem to improve, and it became more and more serious, so I couldn't hide it, so it spread to Chu Palace.

In the Zhaoyang Palace, Zhao Chu, the king of Ning, was also there to accompany him, but when Fu Yue and Feng Yunshu came, it was inconvenient for Zhao Chu to stay here any longer, so he left quickly.

As soon as he left, Concubine Chu called them to sit down.

Fu Yue sat in front of Concubine Chu and took her pulse.

She learned medical skills from Yan Wuxia when she was a child, but after losing her memory, she almost forgot everything. Later, she studied with Ji Ting for a few years. Although she was half-baked, but now that she has recovered her memory and combined the front and back, she can be regarded as understanding. up,
Therefore, it was quickly confirmed that Concubine Chu Guifei was fine, she really just caught the wind and cold.

After taking the pulse, Concubine Chu looked at the two of them, knowing that Chu Yin must have gone to see the emperor, but Chu Xin was not there, so she asked, "Why didn't Xiao Xiner come today?"

Feng Yunshu said: "She is learning calligraphy and painting recently, and she is quite busy with her studies, and every time she comes with her, she is always chattering. I am afraid that she will disturb the mother's recuperation, so I didn't let her follow!"

In fact, Chu Xin and Yan Bugui were at Fu Zhongqi's place to relieve their boredom.

Fu Zhongqi likes children very much. When people are old, they like juniors. His grandson hasn't been born yet, but there are a lot of grandsons and granddaughters, all of whom are hurt by him. Right now, there is such a little girl in Chu Palace, who is also a It's pleasing, and it hurts at the same time.

Concubine Chu said with a smile: "I really like her making noises. This girl is not at all like you and Ling'er, but a bit like Yin'er when she was young, noisy and childish!"

Feng Yunshu laughed and said, "It's only right that a niece looks like an uncle!"

Concubine Chu Guifei was noncommittal when she heard the words, and stopped talking about Chu Xin, and looked at Fu Yue who was beside her.

Then, he took Fu Yue's hand and sighed: "This time, you have been wronged!"

Fu Yue shook her head, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with your mother? It's not my grievance, I was the one who killed someone!"

Concubine Chu snorted disapprovingly: "So what? It's not Shen's low-handed thing. Jing Ai tossed about these unsightly methods. If she hadn't been malicious and let Pang's sow dissension, how could you do it?" Killing? Speaking of which, Pang's temperament is terrible, and this time she is more than worthy of death, but Shen's, after all, is not enough to kill her. Released, her good days are over!"

Seeing Concubine Chu's resentful and disgusted expression, Fu Yue quickly comforted her and said, "Since this is the case, you don't have to be angry. Anyway, the matter is over, and I don't have any injuries. You are still sick right now, so you have to calm down!"

Concubine Chu Guifei breathed out a foul breath, nodded, then thought about something, looked at Fu Yue with some worry and said, "By the way, Yueer, I know what Pang Yuting said to you. Although those things are not fake, they are all true. It's in the past, it was originally because of their vicious intentions that they couldn't see you and Yin'er as husband and wife, so don't take it to heart!"

Concubine Chu Gui didn't know that she was Nie Lanzhen, because she was worried that there would be complications and there was no need to tell her, so she didn't let Concubine Chu know.

Therefore, it is normal to have these concerns.

Fu Yue smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I already know this, so I don't care!"

Concubine Chu Guifei looked at Fu Yue's expression, she didn't seem to be telling a lie, and then looked at Feng Yunshu, seeing her nodding her head without worry, Concubine Chu Guifei was relieved.

In fact, she guessed that Chu Yin was afraid that he really used Fu Yue as a substitute at first, otherwise he wouldn't call her Zhen'er, it's just a long-term love, and he must be sincere to her right now, otherwise he wouldn't care so much, regardless of the beginning How, right now the relationship between the husband and wife is the most important thing.

Feng Yunshu thought for a while, then changed the topic: "By the way, ma'am, I just saw that King Ning is here, and I heard that His Majesty asked him to be in charge of preparing the birthday banquet with other ministries? At this time, shouldn't he be busy?"

Concubine Chu Guifei said: "This child is filial. During the two days I was ill, he came to pay his respects every morning, noon, and evening!"

Recently, Zhao Chu has been very busy. He has made military achievements and won the emperor's favor. The emperor entrusted him with many things to do, but he also gained a lot of real power in the court. This time, the birthday banquet is for him to prepare together. Yes, and the guards of the imperial guards in the palace city all let him participate in the responsibility and arrangement, and they are very busy every day, but I heard that Concubine Chu is ill, no matter how busy he is, he will come to pay his respects every morning, noon and night, and serve Concubine Chu to take medicine , talk with her to relieve boredom, and then go to work.

Feng Yunshu nodded with a smile, and said with a feeling of sigh and relief: "Your Majesty didn't raise this son for nothing!"

Concubine Chu Gui nodded with a smile, and said in a very gratified and open-minded way: "Yes, although I don't have any children of my own, I have raised these two children and they are both filial, so I am content!"

Although they were not born by her, they all say that the grace of nurturing is greater than the sky. She asked herself that she was sincere to these two children, raised them as her own, taught them carefully and cared for them, and never treated them badly, nor let them suffer. Any bullying, fortunately, these two children have never failed her motherly love.

That way, it's already good.

Feng Yunshu said: "Princess Ten is married now, the Xie family treats her as their own daughter, and Xie Yun also treats her very well, so there is no need to worry about it, but for His Royal Highness King Ning, I am afraid that the empress will have to worry more. It's not a good thing that His Majesty values ​​it now, A Yin said, His Majesty sent him to the northern border before, and what he did recently, seems to deliberately involve him in the struggle for the succession, the empress has to remind King Ning, be careful !"

Now the fight between the crown prince and King Rong is getting more and more intense, all of which are caused by the emperor's secret promotion, but no matter who wins or loses these two, it will be useless in the end, if Zhao Chu also gets involved, it will not be good end!
When Concubine Chu Guifei heard the words, her expression became serious, but she was not surprised, she just said: "I understand all these, and Chu'er also understands in his heart, but he knows what to do!"

She didn't want Zhao Chu to participate in the seizure of the heir. From the very beginning, she taught Zhao Chu Mingzhe to protect himself and stay away from right and wrong. Zhao Chu has never let her down. Therefore, even if Zhao Chu is talented, he has kept his edge all these years, and is among the princes. Unremarkable, if the emperor hadn't sent him to the northern border suddenly last year, I'm afraid Zhao Chu wouldn't show up, but since he stood up passively, he could only try to avoid the edge and stay out of it.

Feng Yunshu nodded reassuringly: "That's good, Ah Yin also took into account that he is your adopted son, so let me remind you, lest he get involved and embarrass you!"

"He has a heart!"

Fu Yue who was sitting on the side listened to their words, and just remembered something, so she asked at the right time: "Speaking of King Ning, isn't he engaged to a girl from the Sima family? Has the wedding date been fixed?"

Hearing this, Concubine Chu quickly laughed and said: "I forgot to tell you if you didn't mention it. After the prince's wedding, His Majesty has asked Tai Shiling to choose a wedding date. Although it has not yet been set, it will only be a few days away!"

The fifth prince has already got married, and the marriage of the sixth prince Zhao Chu should also be put on the agenda.

Fu Yue said with a smile: "Although they haven't been selected yet, it's only about this year, and the empress will be busy next time!"

"Yeah, when he gets married too, half of my hanging heart will be let go..."

While talking, a palace lady walked in from outside. "Reporting to the imperial concubine, the empress has sent someone, it is Aunt Ruolan, waiting outside!"

The three of them hurriedly stopped chatting, Concubine Chu Gui said: "Let her in quickly!"

The palace maid hurriedly withdrew, soon Ruolan came in, and after saying goodbye, she stood up according to Concubine Chu's words.

Because they are all from her own family, Concubine Chu Gui didn't say anything politely, and asked directly: "The queen asked you to come here, but what's the matter?"

Ruolan bowed her body and said respectfully: "Returning to the imperial concubine, the empress heard that Princess Chu and Mrs. Chu Guo came to the palace to see the imperial concubine, so she ordered her servants to come over. The empress is a little worried about Princess Chu these days, and she said she wanted to let Princess Chu pass by in a while. Let her take a look, so feel at ease!"

Concubine Chu Guifei looked at Fu Yue, and then said: "I know, I will let her go in a while, there is no shortage of people for the empress, you should go back soon!"

"Yes!"

Ruo Lan blessed her body, and then bowed out.

As soon as she left, Feng Yunshu said: "It's because we lost our manners, we should go to the Queen's side to pay my respects first!"

Concubine Chu Guifei smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, the queen won't care about these things, you just pass by in a while..." As she spoke, she suddenly smiled and said to Fu Yue: "Speaking of which, the queen really likes you very much. For many years, the empress is as calm as still water, and this is the first time that she loves someone so much!"

Hearing this, Fu Yue raised her eyebrows: "Oh? How did you see that?"

Concubine Chu Guifei thought for a while, and said: "She has asked you many times recently, and her words are very caring!"

Fu Yue was taken aback for a while, but there was no reaction for a moment. Feng Yunshu was also surprised for a moment, and then hurriedly said with a smile: "The Empress has always been close to the Chu Palace, and she has a good impression of Fu Yue. It's not surprising to ask a few more questions!"

"That's true!" 
Not long after, Fu Yue and Feng Yunshu got up and went to Fengyi Hall.

The Hall of Fengyi is clean today, it is not a day to pay respects, and now it is past the time to pay respects, and the empress has deliberately sent her back, so there are only the empress and Princess Yichuan.

After inviting An to see the ceremony, Fu Yue and Feng Yunshu sat on one left and one on the right. The queen asked Fu Yue about the situation of this few days with concern, and expressed apology.

Fu Yue also dealt with them one by one.

Then, the queen smiled and said: "Yesterday, His Majesty ordered people to bring Zi Jiang tea from the Southern Jin Kingdom. He said that drinking it can beautify the face and calm the nerves, and it is also good for the body. You should try it first and leave later." Time to bring some back!"

Afterwards, the maid served tea, and soon the two maids brought a cup of tea, but for some reason, the maid serving tea to Fu Yue just walked up to Fu Yue, and accidentally spilled the tea on Fu Yue .

It didn't burn Fu Yue, but splashed wet her clothes. Fu Yue frowned but didn't respond. The maid was startled, knelt down in a hurry, and said in a panic: "Damn it, my concubine!"

As soon as this movement came out, the queen hurriedly asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The palace maid hurriedly turned to the queen and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it was the slave who accidentally spilled tea on the princess's clothes!"

Hearing this, the queen's face darkened, and Princess Yichuan hurriedly got up and walked over, asking nervously, "Let me see."

Feng Yunshu also hurriedly stood up and walked over.

Then, both of them looked at Fu Yue's sleeves which were splashed with tea, and the queen above looked at them worriedly, and asked, "Did you burn your skin?"

Fu Yue shook her head and said with a smile: "The empress and the princess don't have to worry, they just spilled some tea and wet the clothes, but they didn't burn me!"

The queen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

After that, he looked at the maid kneeling on the ground with some displeasure, and reprimanded: "How do you serve me? You are so careless when I ask you to serve tea? You almost scalded Princess Chu. How did those people teach you?" ?”

The palace maid hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Empress, please forgive me, this servant will never dare again!"

The queen seemed to be angry, and ignored her begging, waved her hand and said, "Come here, take her down, beat her twenty boards, and then send her back to Wu Dequan so that he can send someone to teach her the rules!"

The palace maid looked horrified: "Your Majesty..."

Two eunuchs rushed forward to pull her down.

Seeing this, Fu Yue hurriedly said: "Empress Empress, let's forget it, after all, I didn't get burned, so there is no need to punish me so severely, just let someone teach me how to behave!"

The queen looked hesitant: "But..."

Fu Yue said with a smile: "Empress, I didn't get burned, it's just that the clothes are a little wet, which is fine, but your majesty's birthday is coming soon, so it's not appropriate to kill palace people, forget it!"

The queen nodded: "Since the princess begged for mercy, that's fine, but it's unavoidable, Ruolan, send her to Wu Dequan to teach the rules!"

The court lady hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your kindness, and thank you, Princess Wang, for your kindness!"

Then, he was taken down.

Then, Princess Yichuan said: "My princess's clothes are wet, it's still spring and it's a bit chilly, this is not good, why don't I take Wangfei to change clothes first?"

Hearing this, Fu Yue was a little hesitant and embarrassed: "Is this... probably inappropriate?"

The queen said: "What's wrong? After all, the people in this palace did not have the rules to wet your clothes. It happens that you are about the same size as Xuan'er, so let's change her clothes first to make do with it, otherwise it will be bad for you to catch a cold! "
