Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 161 Feng Bao's Prosperity

In March of Yangchun, the grass grows and the warblers fly.The Spring Appreciation Pavilion in the back garden of King Yu’s Mansion.

Concubine Li was enjoying the flowers in the back garden, drinking peach blossom wine, and chatting with all the noble ladies.

Bai Xiaoyan told Concubine Li all kinds of stories about Qi Jiguang's fear of his wife.Laughter made Concubine Li lean forward and back together: "Kill, kill a chicken? Qi Jiguang used the Longquan sword to scare his wife, and in the end it became 'kill a chicken to make up for his wife?' Oh, I really want to meet that man if I have the chance. 'Mrs. Yipin Weilie', ask her for advice on the art of controlling husbands. We people can follow suit in the future!"

All the orders and noble ladies laughed endlessly.

Bai Xiaoyan said: "Concubine Li doesn't know. The sixth child of my family has personally witnessed the courage of this heroine, Hua Mulan in Xinhe County."

Bai Xiaoyan told Concubine Li the story of Mrs. Qi defending Xinhe County with dozens of old and weak soldiers.

After hearing this, Concubine Li restrained her smile: "In this way, Madam Qi is really a hero among our girls! Sometimes, courage does not only belong to men! The emperor bestowed the words 'Wei' and 'Strong' on her, which is worthy of her name. Xiaoyan, think for me. When Qi Jiguang brings her family to Beijing to report on her work, I will definitely invite her to come to our spring viewing pavilion for a drink and a chat."

Seeing that Concubine Li was in a good mood, Bai Xiaoyan said without losing the opportunity: "Madam, Xiaoyan has something to ask of you. The sixth child of our family has a godbrother in Zhejiang, who is only sixteen years old. This child has a hard life, and he died long ago. Hope The empress is kind enough to reward him with a bowl of rice and let him serve the empress in Prince Yu's mansion."

Concubine Li said strangely: "The sixth son recognized a godbrother? Lost his lifeblood? What's going on, tell me about it."

Bai Xiaoyan told Concubine Li about Feng Bao's life experience.Naturally, she didn't mention that Feng Bao had joined the Asura Cult.Prince Yu's Mansion would never admit a person who had been a novice novice into the mansion.

Concubine Li wiped away her tears after hearing this: "This child's background is too pitiful! Where is he now?"

Bai Xiaoyan said, "It's outside the palace right now."

Concubine Li ordered: "Let him come to Shangchun Pavilion to see me."

Not long after, a servant of the palace led Feng Bao to the Shangchun Pavilion.

Concubine Li was surprised and said, "What a handsome child."

Feng Bao was once kidnapped and sold to the south of the Yangtze River, where he was domesticated as a Longyang noodle head of a wealthy family.Therefore, he has received a lot of training in etiquette.

With a calm expression, he bowed to Concubine Li and the ladies, greeted them, and said, "It is said that Concubine Li is a living Bodhisattva. When I saw her today, she was even more beautiful than the statue of Avalokitesvara in the temple." beautiful."

Bai Xiaoyan was shocked. Before she came, she repeatedly told Feng Bao to kowtow more and talk less when seeing Concubine Li.But the child said something taboo as soon as he opened his mouth.

Who would have thought that not only was Concubine Li not angry, but she was delighted: "This child has a sweet mouth. Remember, don't call me Concubine Li in the future. I'm just Prince Yu's concubine. You should call me Concubine Li .”

Feng Bao kowtowed and said, "I want to tell you, my lady. I only know that there is a concubine Li in Prince Yu's mansion, but I don't know any side concubine Li."

In Prince Yu's mansion, the main concubine is the Chen family.Li Shi is just a side concubine.However, the Chen family is old and decrepit, and has a gentle personality. Concubine Li is in charge of all the big and small matters in the palace.

Although Feng Bao's words were not in line with the rules, Concubine Li was very useful: "That's all. You little man, you are more eloquent than the starling raised by the prince. How about it, I'm pregnant with the grandson. In recent days, the palace will reward dozens of eunuchs to enter the mansion. You take the service card of Prince Yu's mansion, go to the respect room to put your name on it, and come to the mansion to serve me and the emperor's grandson."

Feng Bao bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Concubine Li, for your kindness!"

Concubine Li said: "What kindness do I have to you? Your godfather Hu San, your godfather He Liu, and sister-in-law Bai Xiaoyan are the ones who have kindness to you! You must know the kindness and repay it. When you enter the palace, the rules are big. , I can only see my family four times a year. Today you go back and pack your bags, and be different from your godfather, godfather, and godmother."

Feng Bao kowtowed and said, "Feng Bao complies with Concubine Li's order."

Concubine Li said: "You child, why do you believe in nonsense? Our Daming has rules, and the will of the empress dowager, empress, and imperial concubine is the Yi decree!"

Feng Bao replied calmly: "Concubine Li is pregnant with the grandson of the emperor. When Prince Yu succeeds to the throne in the future, you must be the imperial concubine, and you may even be the empress."

Concubine Li smiled and cursed at Bai Xiaoyan: "I should really tear this little monkey's mouth open. But it's no wonder, he has never been in the palace before, and he doesn't know the rules in the palace and the palace. When he enters the palace, I have to find someone to teach him well." He is disciplined. You can't talk nonsense like this."

Although Bai Xiaoyan said yes, her heart was as clear as a mirror. Feng Bao said this, and the empress Li was very happy.

At noon the next day, He Liujia.

Bai Xiaoyan cooked a good meal.Lao Hu sat at the top, followed by He six times, and Feng Bao sat at the bottom.

Feng Bao raised his wine glass: "Godfather, brother god! You have been kind to me! In Hangzhou, you let me eat the first whole roast chicken in my life. If I become prosperous in the future, I will never forget you Kindness."

Old Hu smiled and said, "Good boy! Godfather is waiting for that day!"

He Liudao: "After entering the palace, serve the prince well. Remember, misfortune comes from the mouth, and disease comes from the mouth. Kowtow more and talk less when you see people."

Feng Bao nodded: "I remember, big brother!"

Bai Xiaoyan packed a small bundle and handed it to Feng Bao: "Here are some changes of clothes. There are also two 1000 taels of silver bills and a dozen golden melon seeds in the bundle. The father-in-law in the palace is fighting openly and secretly, no less than in the officialdom. Fortunately, whether it is in the officialdom or in the palace, money has the same magical effect. You should show more filial piety to the superior and win over your colleagues. If the money is not enough, I will go to the palace every now and then to accompany Li Concubine, just ask me for it. My sister-in-law lacks everything, except money."

Hearing this, Feng Bao knelt down to his godfather, elder brother, and sister-in-law: "Feng Bao will always remember the kindness of godfather, elder brother, and sister-in-law! When I gain power, I will definitely repay you."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Bai Xiaoyan helped Feng Bao up.

Xiangxiang suddenly put her arms around Feng Bao's neck: "Father, mother, I won't let my little uncle go! I want him to play slingshot with me! Play with glass balls!"

Feng Bao touched Xiangxiang's little head: "Xiao Xiangxiang, don't worry, little uncle will definitely come to see you again."

After eating, He Liu and Lao Hu sent Feng Bao to the palace.

In front of the palace gate, Lao Hu straightened the skirts of his son Feng Bao: "Okay, son, go! It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. You have to take good care of yourself."

Feng Bao nodded, turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Twenty years later, Feng Bao, who has become an eunuch in charge of ceremonies, recalls this scene back then, and always sighs: "How can I repay the kindness of my godfather and elder brother?"

Of course, these are things to follow.
