Chapter 56: Making Trouble The person
who came was Eunuch Ming from the Empress's palace.
He was followed by two palace maids.
"Madam Hou, this is a holiday gift that the Empress personally selected, specially for Miss Feng." Eunuch Ming smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.
Song Shuqing really didn't expect that the Empress liked her daughter so much.
"The Empress is so polite, thank the Empress for me." Song Shuqing asked the maids to take the holiday gifts one by one.
She took the gift list from Eunuch Ming again, and saw that they were all for Feng Tianxing to use and eat.
She seriously suspected that this was selected by the Fourth Prince.
Only that palace dress could be selected by the Empress herself.
Two boxes of snacks, Tianxing's favorite.
Two small toys, Tianxing's favorite.
Several fine brushes, the thickness is just right for Tianxing.
...
There was actually a cow producing milk, which made Song Shuqing unable to accept it. It
was a very thoughtful thought.
But where was it kept?
"Eunuch Ming, please wait a moment." Song Shuqing turned back to the house, took out an exquisite box and handed it to Eunuch Ming.
"Eunuch, take this to the Empress. Remember to hand it to the Empress in person." This is a return gift.
Song Shuqing knows etiquette very well.
Eunuch Ming smiled even more brilliantly. Only when there is give and take can the relationship be better.
"The Empress also asked us to tell Madam that you must bring Miss Feng to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
The Empress had already sent invitations to each family for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Officials above the fifth rank in the capital and families with titles were all invited.
But each official could only bring two family members.
The Empress said this specifically so that she could bring one more person.
When Eunuch Ming returned to Fengqi Palace where the Empress lived, he respectfully presented the return gift from Song Shuqing.
"Your Majesty, this is a return gift from Madam Feng, and she told our family to hand it over to Your Majesty personally."
Wu Miaozhen was very happy.
She had not interacted much with Song Shuqing before, and if it were not for the Fourth Prince, she would have treated her as an ordinary noblewoman.
But fate is so wonderful.
Wu Miaozhen opened the box and took a look.
Her hand almost dropped.
Eunuch Ming was taller than the Empress, and he also saw it.
He was also startled.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Wu Miaozhen immediately closed the box.
"Didn't you open it and take a look on the way back?" Wu Miaozhen suppressed her shock and asked.
"I dare not look first." Eunuch Ming immediately bowed and replied.
Wu Miaozhen realized something and immediately waved her hand.
The maids serving in the palace all left.
Wu Miaozhen opened the box again.
She looked at the contents of the box carefully and attentively.
A ginseng that looked like a white radish lay quietly in the box.
"Where did the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion get such a good thing?" Wu Miaozhen was very confused, and it was given to her so easily.
Eunuch Ming naturally shook his head.
What does this mean?
Wu Miaozhen fell into deep thought.
If Wu Miaozhen knew that Song Shuqing had more than ten ginsengs like this in his hand, wouldn't she be shocked?
At that time, the old man of the spirit plant estimated that it would grow in a month, but he underestimated the power of space, and it grew into a hundred-year-old ginseng in half a month. Feng Tianxing harvested some first and kept some.
As a result, when he took it out, Feng Zuwen was scared.
Such things dare not be put on the market for sale, and they can only be a hundred years old at most.
Even a hundred
years old is a rare treasure. So those older than that have to be kept at home as treasures.
The couple already knew from Feng Tianxing's thoughts that the second prince was not a good person, and he was also the nephew of the second brother's wife.
Then they would get close to the queen.
Moreover, the queen is the legitimate one, and the eldest prince is both the eldest and the legitimate one.
From the current point of view, the eldest prince has good character.
Their choice would not make the emperor too disgusted.
Song Shuqing's return gift was a kind of surrender.
As for what the queen thinks, she doesn't know.
Wu Miaozhen felt that this thing was hot, but she liked it very much.
"Eunuch Ming, bring me the cold jade box. Keep it well." Wu Miaozhen thought for a long time and decided to put it away.
She made a note of this gift.
In the evening.
The palace maids on duty in Fengqi Palace changed shifts.
A small figure quietly left Fengqi Palace.
He came to a rockery in Yu Garden, put a small note in a very hidden crevice, and then quietly returned to his residence.
At night, the small note was in the hands of the second prince Yun Ransheng.
He was only fifteen years old, so of course he did not leave the palace to start a household.
Yun Hongxiao has four princes and five princesses so far. The youngest prince is only three years old and still lives with his mother.
The other three have their own independent residences.
The Yanyan Kingdom stipulates that the prince can leave the palace and start a household after getting married.
Yun Ransheng looked at the note in his hand.
The queen actually got a five-hundred-year-old ginseng.
Yun Ransheng wandered back and forth in the room.
"Qidong." Yun Ransheng shouted.
"I'm here." Qidong was the eunuch chosen by Concubine Zheng Guifei and also her confidant.
"Where will your father rest tonight?"
"I went to Noble Zhao's place. I heard that the Seventh Prince was ill. I don't know whether he will rest there or not." Qidong replied respectfully.
"Let's go to the mother's palace. I have something to discuss with the mother."
Yun Ransheng took Qidong to the Zhaoyang Palace where Noble Concubine Zheng lived in a low profile.
Noble Concubine Zheng had already had dinner and was taking off her complicated headdress.
When she heard that the prince was coming, she immediately got up and walked out of the bedroom and came to the inner hall.
"Prince, why are you here at this time?"
Noble Concubine Zheng He was from the Duke of Zheng's mansion. As a daughter who was trained with emphasis, she was far superior to her third sister Zheng Lian in terms of etiquette, education, and intelligence.
Although she is 32 years old now, she is well maintained and more beautiful and delicate than the empress.
She knows how to seduce the emperor.
Yun Ransheng gives her advice from time to time.
The empress was chosen by the late emperor to be the crown princess, and she was able to enter the crown prince's mansion and become a concubine by the Zheng Guogong Mansion.
After the emperor ascended the throne, she was only named He Fei.
The two entered the mansion only half a year apart.
As a result, the child she gave birth to was one year younger than the eldest prince born by the empress.
It would be great if the prince she gave birth to was the eldest prince.
"Mother, I have something to discuss with you." Yun Ransheng was very serious.
Zheng He knew at a glance that her son had something important to do.
This son seemed like a different person since he accidentally had a high fever seven years ago.
She once suspected that this was not her son, but the prince could answer many things that happened when mother and son were together.
However, the child became smarter, more sensible and more independent, so she no longer had any other ideas.
And her son has always been thinking about her.
"What is it?" Zheng He asked after sending away the palace servants.
"Mother, do you want to be the queen?" Yun Ransheng whispered.
After hearing this, Zheng He was frightened and looked at her son with her eyes wide open.
It took her several breaths to digest what Yun Ransheng said.
She has been in the palace for so many years, and of course she has had conflicts with the queen, but the queen came from the prime minister's mansion and was also a carefully cultivated legitimate daughter, so she is not easy to deal with.
Otherwise, how could her position as queen be so stable.
If the prince had not suggested a self-torture plan to her five years ago, which won the emperor's heart, she might not have been named a noble concubine.
Thinking of that incident, she still felt a little scared.
It was a play directed and acted by herself.
The wine the emperor drank was poisoned, and she drank the glass of wine herself as a flirtation, while the emperor drank the wine in her hand.
As a result, she was poisoned and saved the emperor from this disaster.
The emperor was both scared and moved, so he promoted her to a noble concubine, only a little shorter than the empress.
And because of this, she did not have to kneel when she saw the empress.
They, mother and son, only sacrificed one palace maid to accomplish this.
Since then, she has relied more on the prince.
"Prince, how sure are you?"
"Eighty percent."
Zheng He smiled.
The mother and son discussed in secret in the palace for half an hour before Yun Ransheng left
