Chapter 49 The Queen Invites It was
the fourth day after the poetry meeting.
Feng Tianxing had just gotten up and was about to drink the milk prepared by her mother.
Chen Shiming rushed in.
"Madam, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
"Where is he? Who is he?" Song Shuqing felt strange. There had been nothing that would attract the emperor's attention recently. Could it be that he came to see if the Marquis had recovered?
But her husband had submitted a memorial to the emperor to report his condition.
"The Marquis is receiving someone. It's Eunuch Ming from the Queen's Palace. The Marquis asked me to invite Madam to the front yard." Chen Shiming wiped his sweat and said.
Song Shuqing didn't dare to delay, so she carried Feng Tianxing and went to the front yard.
"Marquis, it's great that you recovered so quickly. I heard the emperor mention you in the harem a few days ago."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
She heard the two talking before she even entered the room.
"Eunuch Ming." Song Shuqing saw him as soon as she entered the room.
It was indeed the chief steward of the harem. It was such a great honor for the chief eunuch to come in person.
"Oh, Madam Marquis, long time no see." Eunuch Ming smiled brightly.
It was obvious that he came for a good reason.
"Is the Empress well?" Song Shuqing and the Empress were of similar age, but they were not close friends.
When they were girls, they could only be considered acquaintances. Because at that time, the Song family was just a lower-level official, and the Empress was the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Later, when she married into the Marquis's mansion, she had the opportunity to enter the palace and get to know the Empress.
"The Queen is fine. Is this the daughter that the Marquis's mansion just found? She looks so festive, with this round little face, and you can tell she is blessed." Eunuch Ming looked closely at Feng Tianxing in Song Shuqing's arms.
"Eunuch Ming, thank you for your compliment. May I know why you are here?" Song Shuqing put Feng Tianxing down.
As soon as she landed, Feng Tianxing ran into Feng Zuwen's arms.
"Madam Marquis, I am here under the order of the Empress to invite you to the palace for a talk, and bring Miss Feng with you." Eunuch Ming bowed politely.
"Ruyue?" Song Shuqing thought it was Feng Ruyue.
"No, no, no, it's Miss Feng." Eunuch Ming almost forgot that the Marquis had an unmarried sister.
"Tianxing?"
"Yes."
Song Shuqing was puzzled. As soon as he heard it, he knew that the queen wanted to see the concubine.
After the poetry meeting that day, there were too many news. Feng Yuanhao and his brother actually forgot that Feng Tianxing could see the face of the fourth prince.
[Huh? Does the fourth prince want to see me? Does that boy like me so much? ] Feng Tianxing thought of this possibility immediately after hearing it.
The couple looked at Feng Tianxing strangely. The fourth prince likes her?
No way? The concubine is only three years old, and someone has been thinking about her?
But why is it the fourth prince? What should I do?
The fourth prince is a special existence. No one can see his face, which makes the emperor unhappy.
"Eunuch Ming, can you tell me what it is?" Song Shuqing's heart was beating.
"Madam, don't worry. The Empress just wants to see Miss Feng, who can find her way home by herself." Eunuch Ming couldn't say it clearly in front of the other servants in the hall.
The fact that Feng Tianxing begged at the door of the Marquis's mansion has now spread to everyone.
"Oh, are you going now?" Song Shuqing didn't put on makeup because she was not going out today.
"If it's convenient, it's better to go now. If Madam has other things and can't leave, it's okay to go tomorrow."
This attitude was so humble that Song Shuqing almost suspected that this person didn't come out of the Empress's palace at all.
But the Empress had invited her, so how could she dare to wait until tomorrow.
"Then please wait for a moment, Eunuch. I will go change my clothes and go into the palace with you." Song Shuqing picked up Feng Tianxing again.
Both mother and daughter changed their clothes.
——Feng
Tianxing was held by Song Shuqing and sat in a sedan chair, looking out.
She had seen this palace before when she was in spirit.
It was not big for her. But compared to this mortal world, it was quite magnificent.
The palaces were one after another, and the architecture was very grand.
They stopped in front of the gate of the empress's palace.
There were already maids waiting on the steps.
"I have seen Eunuch Ming. Is Madam Feng here?" A maid of sixteen or seventeen years old walked down the steps and asked.
"Yes." Eunuch Ming personally stepped forward and raised the curtain.
The little maid immediately went in to report.
The mother and daughter did not have to wait at all, and were led in directly by Eunuch Ming.
Feng Tianxing saw the empress, who was dressed very casually, sitting in the main seat.
She was not wearing formal clothes, but casual clothes. She was not wearing a phoenix crown, but only a phoenix hairpin.
Compared with her previous life, she was not half as gorgeous as her.
Song Shuqing immediately knelt down: "Your servant Song Shuqing pays respects to the Empress."
"Quickly, please excuse yourself, Qingling, and let Madam Feng sit down." Empress Wu Miaozhen ordered immediately.
She asked the maid Qingling to bring a chair to Song Shuqing and put it at the lower right hand of the Empress.
Song Shuqing had no choice but to hold Feng Tianxing and sit over.
"Qingling, go and call the fourth prince, and tell him that Miss Feng is here." Wu Miaozhen ordered again.
As soon as she heard it, Song Shuqing knew what was going on.
As Tianxing said in her heart, it was not the Empress who wanted to see her, but the fourth prince who wanted to see Tianxing.
Let's go back to four days ago.
The eldest prince and the fourth prince returned to the palace. After the two brothers paid their respects to the Emperor, they came to the Empress's palace.
The fourth prince was very happy to tell the queen that someone finally saw his face.
The queen couldn't believe it.
The eldest prince also told her the story again.
She was skeptical. How could she believe the words of a three-year-old child?
The next day, the queen sent someone to inquire about the young lady of the Feng family, and only then did
she find out what was going on with the child. The most important thing was that she knew to go home.
How could a child who was abandoned as soon as he was born know this?
And the child was mute.
This was a fact, and she had no doubt about it.
After thinking about it for two days, the queen told the emperor about it again.
The emperor also found it incredible.
But after all, he was an experienced emperor and didn't quite believe it.
No one had seen the face of the fourth prince since he was born.
He thought it was an ominous sign for the royal family to give birth to such a child.
But it was his own child after all, and although he didn't like it, he didn't do anything.
A minister once suggested sending the child to a temple. But he didn't accept it and wanted to observe it first.
Nothing happened for so many years, so he let it grow up in the palace.
"Since Zheng'er and Qing'er are so sure, let's call the child into the palace to confirm it." Seeing the empress's eager eyes, the emperor gave instructions.
With the emperor's approval, the empress of course sent someone to invite her as soon as possible.
Wu Miaozhen looked at Feng Tianxing.
There was nothing special about her. She looked very much like her mother.
She was wearing a light pink dress, which made her face blush.
"Madam Hou, at the poetry party that day, the two boys in this palace liked Miss Feng very much, especially the fourth prince, who kept clamoring to see Sister Feng these two days. So today I took the liberty to invite you to the palace." Wu Miaozhen said gently.
"It is Tianxing's honor to be loved by two princes."
"Little Tianxing, come, let your aunt hug you." Wu Miaozhen stretched out her hand to hug Feng Tianxing.
"Your Highness!" Song Shuqing was shocked when the Queen called herself her aunt.
"I like this child very much when I
first saw her. I will call her aunt from now on." "How can this be possible?" Song Shuqing really didn't expect that the Queen would be so close to her daughter on their first meeting.
"The Emperor is here." A loud shout came from outside the door.
