First-class daughter

Chapter 1178

Chapter 1178

The direction of the imperial court had really changed quietly, and when the power around Feng Jue was consolidated, it was time for him to step aside from this position.

He secretly clenched his fists on the chair, and said, "What the two lords said is very reasonable. Yeluchu escaped because he was not sincere in peace talks with me, Da Zhou. But it wasn't his fault.

Princess Yeluyan is coming to court soon, so His Highness the Eleventh will be in charge of the peace talks in person. "

No matter what Yeluyan says or does at that time, Feng Jue will be responsible for it.

"Yes, Brother Eighth King." Feng Jue cupped his hands and said, looking at Feng Ye from the corner of his eyes.

After retreating from the court, Feng Jue walked out of the Golden Luan Hall. At this time, Eunuch Lu from the Shouning Hall came over, knelt on the ground, and said, "His Royal Highness, the Queen Mother, please go to the Shouning Hall immediately."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Feng Jue said, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

All the way to the Shouning Palace, he was led by Lu Gonggong to the front of the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Grandson Fengjue pays respects to the emperor's grandmother." Fengjue bowed and said.

The queen mother sat on a rosewood chair and quietly looked at the grandson in front of her. Although it had been a while since she had known her ancestors without him, she had never had a serious conversation with him, and this was the first time Look him over carefully.

After looking at it for a while, she nodded and said, "You didn't recognize your ancestors until you were 14 years old, but now you have achieved such achievements, the emperor's grandmother is very pleased."

"Grandson, I would like to thank Grandmother for her praise." Feng Jue said.

"Seeing that your Ninth Prince Brother has a pair of children, you have reached your age, and it's time to add people to your palace." The Queen Mother changed the subject and said suddenly.

"Grandmother..." Feng Jue trembled slightly.

The Empress Dowager had already ordered Nanny Wen to bring over a stack of folders, and said, "This is a woman selected by the imperial grandmother for you these days. In terms of status, she can match you and make you even better. Let's take a look." .”

Feng Jue looked at the pile of tall papers in front of him, without stretching out his hand, he said, "Grandmother, my grandson just came back from Shanhaiguan, and my mentality has not adjusted well, and I have no plans to take a concubine. Thank you, Grandmother, for your concern." .

The Empress Dowager's eyes flicked over him, and she said, "Jue'er, you should know that you are a prince, and your marriage must not be a trifling matter, it even concerns the entire Zhou Dynasty, so the emperor's grandmother has already carried out careful planning." If you want to make your own choice, unless your thoughts are consistent with those of the emperor's grandmother and your father, you should put away your own thoughts."

This is not only the Queen Mother's advice, but also her warning to Feng Jue.

"Grandmother's love for grandson, grandson is very grateful, but the matter of marrying a concubine has to be considered in the long run. Grandmother is right. Marrying a wife is a matter of great importance, let alone make a decision so quickly. Grandson I will think about it later, please give the grandson some more time." Feng Jue said.

The queen mother knew what Feng Jue was thinking, but she didn't point it out, but continued, "The Ai family will give you time to think about it, and you don't want you to make a decision right away. Take these papers back, read them carefully, and make your choice. Let's tell Aijia again, Aijia personally refers to the marriage."

The Empress Dowager signaled Nanny Wen to put the folder into Feng Jue's hands, and said, "The position of Concubine Ming'an, the Ai family belongs to Ruofei, the daughter of Liang Guofu, and the Ai family knows that Liang Guogong also spoke for you in the court today. It's actually a gesture of favor.

The three generations of the Liang family are loyal, the Duke of Liang has good morals and is an upright person. Even the emperor respects him three points. His grandson Liang Shumo also won the second place in the provincial examination this time, and he is only a little short of the number one. These things will affect your future It is beneficial in the court.

Although your father adopted you to the current empress, she is not your biological empress. She is Yun Zheng's biological empress, so she will inevitably favor Yun Zheng. You have to actively consolidate your power to stand up. Stay on your heels.You should understand this truth as soon as possible. "

The Empress Dowager's words were both a reminder and an order at the same time, she just didn't say clearly that she would not let Feng Jue take Lian Lingyue's words.

At the end, she added, "If you have other people in your heart, the Ai family will not allow you to come and go, but don't think about the position of the side concubine. You can take it into the mansion to be a concubine. It's ok, but you can't come to spoil a concubine and destroy a wife like Lianxiang."

Feng Jue kept his head down, and said, "Yes, my grandson has remembered what the emperor's grandmother said."

Without resisting or arguing as imagined, the queen mother was very satisfied with Feng Jue's performance, nodded, and said, "You are a sensible child. I heard that the princess of Khitan will come to negotiate peace on behalf of any queen mother. You are responsible for this matter. You must be very busy too, the Ai family will keep you soon, so go."

"Yes, Imperial Grandmother." Feng Jue walked out of the Shouning Hall with this pile of booklets.

Looking at the pile of booklets in front of him, he couldn't help but become serious. He didn't want Liang Ruofei or Li Ruofei.

He carried the notebooks all the way back to the palace, and when he arrived at the study, he put them all on the desk.

Seeing his sullen expression, Sijiu stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, when are you sad?"

"Today, the Empress Dowager called the King to go, and gave the King these discounts to let the King choose someone to be Princess Ming'an, saying that the King would choose for himself, but in fact the Queen Mother chose for the King herself." Feng Jue road.

"This..." Sijiu carefully looked at the pair of books, and said, "Is there anyone you like, Your Highness?"

Feng Jue frowned, and said, "Sijiu, other people don't know what's on my mind, even you don't? What's the point of asking."

"No, no, how could this servant intentionally make things difficult for Your Highness? It's just..." Sijiu paused, and said, "What Your Highness did is not like marrying a young lady as a princess. After returning from Shanhaiguan , I don’t see you coming and going.”

After Sijiu's words, Xiang Fengjue was silent for a moment, then murmured, "You don't understand, it's not that this king doesn't want to get in touch, in fact, this king doesn't know how to get in touch, although she didn't avoid her, but this king... ..."

"Hey..." Sijiu suddenly sighed deeply, and said, "In terms of chasing wives, your Highness is still far behind His Highness Jiu."

"How do you say that?" Feng Jue was puzzled.

"My servant remembers that when Princess Heng was still the eldest lady, although His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince maintained a distance from the eldest lady on the surface, he was always very close to the eldest lady in action." Sijiu said.

Feng Jue stood up abruptly, and said, "Sijiu, don't hesitate, speak more clearly."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Your Highness, you know the cold eyebrows around Princess Heng, right? This was originally His Royal Highness's confidant, and the eldest lady was sent to her side before she came out of the cabinet.

This move not only protects the eldest lady, but also increases everyone's favor towards His Highness the Ninth Highness. At the same time, His Highness the Ninth Highness can also know immediately what is going on with the eldest lady, and give the eldest lady the most timely care and help, so that the eldest lady deeply appreciates it. I deeply feel the sincerity of His Highness Nine. "

"You mean..." Feng Jue's eyes lit up slightly.

"That's right, Your Highness, don't wait passively, you should take the initiative." Sijiu said.

"Good Sijiu, you have given me an idea." Feng Jue patted Sijiu on the shoulder, with a bright smile on his face.

"It's just..." Sijiu looked at the booklet that covered the table, and said, "Even if you and Miss are lovers, Your Highness, you still have to listen to the Queen Mother's orders. What should I do?"

"Right now, we can only delay it. It will take some time for the Khitan people to come to the capital for peace talks. Let's delay it for the time being on the grounds of busy work."
