Princess, you're shy
"There's still a third?" Feng Ningyan couldn't help but laugh as she thought that the empress dowager was very long-winded.
The empress dowager covered her mouth and whispered to Feng Ningyan, "Third, you have been practicing martial arts for many years, and your body is healthy. Wailing Home thinks that in a short while, I will be able to embrace a grandson who's as lively as a little tiger! "
"Cough, cough!" Feng Ningyan plopped down on the ground, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Empress Dowager …"
Seeing her embarrassed, Her Majesty laughed and took off the Buddhist Jade Statue on her neck and put it on Feng Ningyan.
Feng Ningyan saw that this piece was extremely heavy and the jadeite Buddha statue was even more priceless, hence she dared not accept it.
Her Majesty said, "Wear it. Wailing Home is old and these things are only worldly possessions. You won't be able to take them away in the future. If I give it to you, I'll have a chance to continue the legacy. Your Feng Family has been loyal to him for generations. Wailing Home believes that you can properly support your husband. "
Feng Ningyan knew that this heavy Ying Luo was the hope the Empress Dowager placed on her.
She glanced at Shen Lingjue who was not far away and said solemnly, "Empress Dowager, don't worry. phoenix lass will definitely live up to your expectations."
Shen Youhuang was extremely ambitious, she would definitely exterminate all those who obstructed him from usurping her position.
Even if Feng Ningyan did not become the Yuwangfei, she would not let his scheme succeed.
The Crown Princess had been looking at the Empress Dowager all this while, but when she saw that the Empress Dowager had actually taken off her incomparably luxurious Ying Luo and put it on Feng Ningyan's body with her own hands, she couldn't help but grind her teeth in jealousy and hatred.
"Damn it! No matter what, the This Consort was still the eldest Sun's daughter-in-law, how could the empress dowager be biased towards him? She was biased towards this new Feng Ningyan! Am I going to stop paying respects or am I going to get sick? It is so for the Emperor and for the Empress! "
Hearing that, the Crown Prince looked towards where she was looking at, only to see a golden patch on Feng Ningyan's neck. He had also rushed to his head in anger, clenching his fist to smash it on the table.
"Brother!" Shen Youhuang immediately held down his fists, "Don't let it happen."
The crown prince was furious. "The empress dowager, she …"
Shen Youhuang smiled and said: "That's just a small gain, the crown prince is the one who seeks important matters, there is no need to fuss about everything. The situation today was very clear. The empress dowager had long wanted to be the peacemaker between royal father and King Yu. She had leaned over to help and praised Feng Ningyan in order to eliminate the taboo in royal father's heart towards' evil stars'. They just happen to be careless and give us a chance. "
When the Crown Prince heard this, he thought for a while.
"Hua Ruoyu did not have the chance to be the next secondary wife, what plans does Fourth Brother have?"
Shen Youhuang said: "Brother, don't be in such a rush, leave everything to brother!"
When the Crown Prince heard that Shen Youhuang seemed to have a brilliant plan, she laughed and started drinking to her heart's content.
Hua Ruoyu sat in the furthest seat, her eyes red, and turned her head to wipe her tears.
She did not dare look at Shen Youhuang, afraid that he would scold her for messing things up.
She knew that even after everything had developed to this point, he still hadn't obtained the right to leave a single person in the Prince Yu's Mansion s. If Feng Ningyan bore a grudge in her heart, he could expel her from the Duke Palace at any time.
If he was no longer of use to Shen Youhuang, how would he act? Could it really be a talent show?
She couldn't accept it!
Even though there was a disturbance of the King Yu refusing to stand at the side of the Concubine, the Feng Meeting ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
When Feng Ningyan returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, she immediately took off the piece of metal. The heavy weight made her feel even more tired than if she was wearing heavy armor.
"Today is truly a thrilling day …" As she untied her bun, she said to Shen Lingjue who was in the mirror.
Shen Lingjue sat on the chair behind her. Lv Ruo was carefully treating the wound on his forehead.
He also looked at Feng Ningyan in the mirror and said: "Compared to the battle between the two armies, with blades shining and shadows, today is just a small scene."
"Small scene?" Feng Ningyan brushed her hair and couldn't help but cry out.
"Just look at my body covered in cold sweat and you will know how nervous I am. Not only do I have to respond quickly to the empress's question, I also have to ponder over it and answer it appropriately. When she said that Hua Ruoyu was to become her concubine, I immediately replied. Since I can't show that I'm not willing, I also need a reason.
Shen Lingjue couldn't help but laugh as she got up and walked over to the makeup table. She then brushed away the beads on the Gold Bar and said, "Fortunately you managed to capture the empress dowager's heart. Today's mission was really well done by Princess Hua-Yang."
"Hmph …" Feng Ningyan glared at him, "Before the empress dowager ends her interrogation on Hua Ruoyu, I don't even know if she acknowledged me or not. "Her expression didn't reveal her preferences at all. In the end, the situation reversed and I felt like a star falling from the sky just happened to smash into me. It really was a bad luck."
"It can't really be considered a perfect strike. You know that the empress dowager is actually a member of the family of generals as well." Shen Lingjue softly massaged her sore neck as she spoke slowly.
"What?" Feng Ningyan was confused, "Isn't the empress dowager the daughter of the three dynasties' elder, Hu Xiao?"
Shen Lingjue nodded, "She's actually an adopted daughter. The empress dowager's own father died of depression after being framed by a vile courtier. In order to protect the loyalty, Lord Hu adopted the young empress dowager as her illegitimate daughter. "
Feng Ningyan's mouth gaped open, and only after a long while did she come to understand the situation. "No wonder the emperor helped a few loyal subjects who died in vain in their first year of enthronement, could it be that the empress dowager's father is among them?"
"Yes," Shen Lingjue smiled. "That's why I expected the empress dowager to feel some sort of closeness when she sees you. As expected, at this critical moment, the empress dowager helped us greatly. Of course, the kindness you showed that day, was also rewarded. As expected, Consort Shu spoke up for me in front of royal father. "
Feng Ningyan covered her face that was burning with excitement. "The heavens are truly helping me … If it wasn't for the empress dowager's love and the Consort Shu's rewards, everything that happened today would have been disadvantageous to us! The Emperor will hate me even more, and Hua Ruoyu will also smoothly become the side wife of the King Yu! "
Based on Shen Lingjue's victory today, she had gotten lucky and it was inevitable.
Now that she had the assistance of the empress dowager and Consort Shu in the palace, she was even happier than if she had won a battle.
Shen Lingjue laughed and suddenly changed the subject, "However, I can only read two of the empress dowager's reasons for helping you. The third reason is that she covered her mouth and told you that I did not see it. What did she say? "
Feng Ningyan was startled, her face immediately blushed red. She lowered her head and combed her hair, covering her red-persimmon like face.
"Nothing much …" "I just hope that I can be of good help to you …"
When Shen Lingjue heard it, she smacked her lips in disappointment. "I thought the empress dowager would say that your body is strong and well-bred, our son must be strong and smart, and urge you to give birth to one to relieve her boredom …"
"You …" Feng Ningyan stuffed the comb into his mouth, blocking his detestable mouth, "Nonsense! How could Her Majesty. "How can you say that …"
Shen Lingjue took a whiff of her hair on the comb, and laughed: "Esteemed wangfei, you're embarrassed …"
"Shen, Ling, Jue!" "Damn you!"
