Black Dragon's Wife: Myriad Spirits and White Phoenix

Chapter 72

"I didn't expect you to remember Bengong."

"Your Majesty is so beautiful that people can never forget her, how can she forget?"

"You are very good at talking. Why are you standing here? Are you going to see the queen?"

"Yes, I happened to meet your empress."

"Well, it just so happens that I have something to talk to the queen about, so let's go in together." Imperial Concubine Yuwen's tone revealed an undeniable majesty.

Entering the main hall, the empress had already sat on the main seat, still so graceful and dignified.

"Greetings to the empress." Imperial Concubine Yuwen and Xuan Haiyue saluted together.Before the queen could speak, Imperial Concubine Yuwen walked to the side seat and sat down.

The Empress seemed to have gotten used to Concubine Yuwen's temperament, looked at Xuan Haiyue and said calmly: "Excuse me, Miss Xuan, please sit down."

"Thank you madam."

The queen turned to look at Concubine Yuwen with a relaxed face, and said, "Why is my sister free to come here today?"

Concubine Yuwen said lazily: "It's nothing serious, I just heard that Miss Xuan was summoned by the emperor, so I just came to see it."

This imperial concubine Yuwen obviously had nothing to do and wanted to watch the play.Xuan Hai Yue Xin thought.

The empress mainly talked with Xuan Haiyue about the Xuan family, and imperial concubine Yuwen would interject from time to time.Although the communication time was not very long, Xuan Haiyue still felt the arrogance of Concubine Yuwen, and her attitude towards the queen was disrespectful, even contemptuous and disdainful.And the queen has been silently enduring Concubine Yuwen's disrespect towards her, and just laughed off her verbal conflicts without blaming her.

Xia Liming had told her before in Xia Mansion.Imperial Concubine Yuwen's boudoir name is Yuwen Liyan, and she is the younger sister of Yu Wenhao, the current general of the Zhen Kingdom.Yuwen's family is one of the twelve aristocratic families, and it is the descendant of Jiangmen.Yuwenhao once fought with Feng Yixuan, the previous generation of Fengwang. After the fall of Fengwangfu, he went from a captain of the sixth rank to a general of the second rank in just five years. It rises, and the limelight grows day by day.Yuwen Liyan is in the harem, her fate naturally fluctuates with the rise and fall of her family.The so-called one prosperity, one loss, the other is the truth.

The current queen is the niece of the queen mother, surnamed Murong.Although the Murong family is also one of the twelve aristocratic families, a queen mother and a queen came out of the two generations, and they have a pivotal position in Yushitai.However, the influence in the court is still not comparable to that of the Yuwen family behind the generals. Military power is better than imperial power. In all dynasties, which military general who did not hold military power is more influential than a civil official without real power.With a powerful family and her amazing beauty, it's no wonder that the emperor loves Concubine Yuwen so much, and it's no wonder that Concubine Yuwen doesn't care about the queen anymore.

After leaving the palace, Xuan Haiyue took Yanyun Yanxia into the carriage and felt relieved.This imperial palace is too depressing, there is intrigue everywhere, and everyone acts like walking on thin ice. Everyone wears a mask and can't tell whether they are enemies or friends.Really tired!No wonder my father refused to accept the late emperor's invitation to live in the imperial palace, preferring to live in seclusion in Xuanxin Palace. Compared with the imperial palace, Xuanxin Palace is a paradise.

Soon it was the day when Fengwang's mansion was going down. Early in the morning, Jiang Peiling, Duanmu Yalou Shixian came to Xuanfu to accompany Xuan Haiyue, together with Xuan Caiwei, several women chattered non-stop, with expressions on their faces. With a smile, a happy atmosphere surrounded the entire Xuanfu.

Because the previous King Feng and Princess had passed away, there were no real elders in Fengwang's mansion, so Feng Tingye specially invited three famous elders in the imperial court to come to Xuanfu to pay a visit in person.One is Mrs. Xin whom I met at the Hundred Flowers Festival, one is Duanmuya's grandfather An Guogong, and the other is Mrs. Nangong, the current head of the Nangong family.And the dowry list of Feng Wangfu's head also made the five elders who are Xuanxin Palace elders feel gratified and happy. As soon as they entered the door, Elder Yun Zhongjun went to the study with Duke Duanmu and King Feng to discuss matters.

Xuan Haiyue and his group walked into the hall together, and they saw Mrs. Xin who was talking to the young master, and Mrs. Nangong, and they immediately saluted with blessings: "Haiyue to Mrs. Xin, Mrs. Nangong, please greet me."

"I've seen Mrs. Xin, I've seen Mrs. Nangong." Lou Shixian, Jiang Peiling, and Xuancai saluted slightly.

"Misses from both the Lou family and the Jiang family are here. This is the new master of Xuanxin Palace, um, she really looks like your mother!" Nangong old man stroked his beard, stretched out his hand to beckon Xuan Haiyue to come to him, and praised him lovingly Say.

"That's right, Ms. Xuan is the head of all the flowers in the capital for the new year. Her dancing, painting, and piano skills are all the best of the ladies in the capital. The Xuan family is really well-educated." Taifu Xin who was on the side also agreed.

Xuan Haiyue lowered her head, with a hint of red on her face, she said shyly, "Grandfather Nangong has ignored worldly affairs for many years, and Mrs. Xin is old, so it's really..."

Grandpa Nangong chuckled, and said indifferently: "Miss Xuan, what are you talking about? We old men usually have nothing to do but worry about the marriages of the juniors. Besides, the relationship between Fengwang Mansion and Nangong's family is very close, as it should be." Nangong The old man nodded secretly, even though he was shy, he could move forward and retreat so freely, unlike ordinary girls from aristocratic families, only such people can support such a large family business and appearance as Fengwang Mansion. "From now on, you and Feng Tingye will be husband and wife, and you have to take good care of each other. This child Tingye was raised by the old man... In short... No matter what, you can live a good life in the future."

Xuan Haiyue was quite embarrassed, but it was not easy to have a fit, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

Lou Shixian rubbed Xuan Haiyue lightly, and said in a low voice: "Haiyue, you are really capable, and you have received such a compliment from Mrs. Nangong."

"Yes, Haiyue, do you know that this old Nangong is a highly respected person in the capital, and Mrs. Xin is also the emperor's teacher. It's really great for you to have such a big man come to work." Jiang Peiling did not forget to tease, hiding Mouth snickered.

"You two, stop making fun of me." Xuan Haiyue looked at her friend speechlessly, and said embarrassingly.

"The King of Wind is here!" The girl outside the door called out.

Yun Zhongjun walked into the hall first, followed by Feng Tingye and Duke Duanmu, and Duanmu Ya followed beside Duke Duanmu. "This is the new Palace Master of Xuanxin Palace, um, it's really extraordinary, no wonder Ya'er is always talking about you and likes to play with you." Duke Duanmu said with a smile.

"Grandpa, Haiyue is an excellent woman, so my granddaughter naturally likes to find her." Duan Muya said coquettishly, shaking Duke Duanmu's arm.

"Haiyue is still young, please don't scare her." Feng Tingye said with a gentle smile.

"Good boy, you know how to protect your daughter-in-law before you get married. This is the gift list for the betrothal gift. Miss Xuan sees what is missing and fills it up quickly." Duke Duanmu smiled and handed the gift list to Xuan Haiyue.

Xuan Haiyue took it and looked at it briefly, and there was nothing to be picky about at first, so she nodded and said that there was nothing needed, expressing her satisfaction, then handed the gift list to Yanxia, ​​and said with a smile: "There are Duke Lao, Mrs. Nangong and Xin Master."
