Chapter 77 Closeness
That is the fifth princess born to the Queen Mother, Yun Zhirou. She has been married for thirteen years but has not conceived.
The husband she married is Gao Qiliang, the second son of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion. He is the second uncle of Gao Rong, who forced Zhou Ankang to buy ginseng in his shop before.
If she still can't give birth to a child before her husband is thirty-five years old, she can't stop him from taking a concubine. Even if she is a princess, she can't let him be childless.
She is getting more and more anxious now.
When she heard the news that Li Meixiang was pregnant, she was not calm.
Of course, she knew Li Meixiang's body. The imperial physician had seen it many times and it was impossible for her to get pregnant, but she was pregnant.
But the Yuan family had only one servant, and she couldn't find anyone to find out the truth.
Then she also prepared some gifts, put down her status, and visited in person.
But she talked to Li Meixiang for a long time but didn't get an answer.
Li Meixiang certainly knew what the Fifth Princess meant, but the Feng family had helped the Yuan family so much, how could she easily tell others about it unless she got the Feng family's consent.
Although Yun Zhirou had the temper of a princess, she was not stupid.
She asked her guards and nannies to investigate and inquire from all sides. She did not miss any suspicious points, including some news in the capital.
When she summarized the news, she analyzed it.
She felt that she had found the key point.
That is, the Feng family was the source.
Since the daughter of the Feng family came back, several things have happened that are the most suspicious.
Feng Zuwen's serious injury was healed in a short time, Feng Yuanhan's sick body was also healed, and Feng's paralytic can now stand up. I heard that it won't take long to recover.
She said that it was Zhou Ankang, a doctor she had invited from far away, who treated her. She had also asked Doctor Zhou to see her before, but he couldn't cure her cold. This showed that Doctor Zhou was not the one who really cured the father and son of the Feng family.
What made her most suspicious was that the daughter-in-law of the military official was saved after suffering from heavy bleeding during childbirth. She learned from the old doctor that Madam Feng gave her a medicine to stop the bleeding.
Madam Feng even had a five-hundred-year-old ginseng to give to the queen's sister-in-law.
And the face of her fourth nephew, no one could see it, but the little lady of the Feng family could actually see it.
Adding all these together, Yun Zhirou felt that she had found the truth.
The dumb daughter of the Feng family must have something extraordinary, even though she was only three years old.
Otherwise, how could you explain that a three-year-old child knew to come back to find her parents.
After thinking all this through, Yun Zhirou felt that she saw hope.
She had to think carefully about how to get the Feng family to help her.
Going directly to their house was definitely impossible.
It had been more than half a year, and she had never heard anything from the Feng family about their daughter.
Instead, they found Zhou Ankang to cover up everything.
The queen took out ginseng to save her mother, which was actually the Feng family indirectly saving her mother.
This was a favor to them mother and daughter.
Then the relationship should be closer and closer.
In the past, she and her mother basically maintained a neutral relationship, but after Concubine Zheng blocked the poisoned wine for her brother, Concubine Zheng's favor gradually increased, and even the second nephew caught her brother's eye.
Moreover, in recent years, the second nephew has become much smarter and often received praise from his brother. Only then did the mother and daughter slowly begin to lean towards Concubine Zheng. Even her uncle's family became close to Duke Zheng's family because of this.
Yun Zhirou thought about it for two days and finally made up her mind. She
went to the palace to discuss
it with the Queen Mother. When Yun Zhirou told the Queen Mother about her analysis in the bedroom, the Queen Mother's brows were tightly wrinkled.
The last time the Queen Mother saved her, she had asked her brothers from her natal family not to get close to Duke Zheng, and to stay neutral. Even if the second prince ascended the throne in the future, he would not be too harsh on her natal family. At most, they would be marginalized.
The Queen Mother looked at Yun Zhirou's earnest eyes and sighed.
"Rou'er, your mother is just an identity." The implication was that she could not help her daughter much.
"Mother, the Feng family is now clearly on the side of the Empress's sister-in-law. Although we are outnumbered, the Empress's sister-in-law will be happy as long as she sees our attitude.
After all, you are the empress dowager. You just need to protect the Empress's sister-in-law in the palace in the future.
The prince born by the Empress is legitimate, the eldest and the legitimate prince. The emperor's brother is also the eldest and legitimate prince. He will not abandon us because of this.
If we can place more spies with Concubine Zheng or the second nephew, it will be the greatest help. I think the Empress's sister-in-law will definitely like it." Yun Zhirou analyzed.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then outside the palace, you should try to get closer to the eldest wife of the Feng family. The Feng family has a younger sister of Concubine Zheng Guifei, so you have to be careful." "
Don't worry, mother, Zheng Lian and I have nothing in common, I won't get involved with her, I only have good friends with the eldest wife."
The New Year is coming soon, and it is already the eighteenth day of the lunar month.
The news that Feng Yuanhao can almost walk is no longer a secret.
Today he walked on the street with a cane, holding his sister in his hand.
People who prepare New Year's goods are busy shopping, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going.
Feng Tianxing saw the man selling sugar cakes and her eyes were greedy again.
Feng Yuanhao saw that his sister was staring at the man selling sugar cakes, and he smiled.
"Boss, how much do you sell this cake for?" A woman in snow-white fox fur and her maid came forward.
"Madam, this is just out of the pot, twenty cents a pound. It's cold now, so you can keep it until the New Year. Madam, you can buy more, and the children at home can just heat it up if they want to eat it." The boss introduced enthusiastically. "
Then weigh five pounds for me." The woman said.
Feng Yuanhao also walked closer, and when he saw the woman buying sugar cakes, he immediately saluted: "I have met the fifth princess, are you buying sugar cakes too?"
Feng Yuanhao was surprised that the princess actually bought sugar cakes in person.
"Oh, it's Prince Feng, and Miss Feng. Are you buying sugar cakes too?" Yun Zhirou was very enthusiastic.
"My sister wants to eat it, so I came to buy some for her as a snack." Feng Yuanhao explained.
"Miss Feng, if you want to eat, I'll give you some. You don't have to buy it." As she said that, she personally took a piece of oil paper from the table, wrapped a few pieces and put them in Feng Tianxing's hand.
Feng Tianxing smiled sweetly at Yun Zhirou.
"What a sensible child. It would be nice if I had a girl like this." Yun Zhirou was moved and reached out to touch Feng Tianxing's head.
"Miss Feng, I'll ask your mother to bring you to my house to play when there's a chance. Auntie will prepare more delicious food for you." Yun Zhirou squatted down and looked at Feng Tianxing at eye level, smiling gently.
Feng Tianxing smiled and nodded.
[I didn't expect this fifth princess to be so friendly. It's a pity that she never gave birth to a child in her life. Later, the prince consort took a concubine, and the couple became estranged and eventually went their separate ways. Alas, women live a sad life in a patriarchal society.]
Feng Tianxing also sighed about life. So when she was 200 years old in her previous life, she didn't find a partner.
Feng Yuanhao wanted to wipe his forehead when he heard this.
Feng Yuanhao saw that his sister had food, so he stopped buying food. He said goodbye to the fifth princess and continued shopping with his sister. He was tired from studying, so he went out for a walk and let everyone see that he was almost recovered.
The target was still the bookstore.
When the brother and sister arrived at Mobaozhai, they actually saw a very familiar person reading a book seriously.
