Chapter 140: Zhaojun County Magistrate
Feng Shenyu trotted all the way to the side hall, entered the room and looked at the person lying on the couch.
We were lying together last night, and I saw her face when I woke up in the morning.
It's only been half a day, but it feels like a lifetime ago.
Li Yueyao's cheeks were pink as she slept, and Feng Shenyu just stared at her blankly, not moving for a long time.
After a while, he finally reacted, slowly reached out and took Li Yueyao's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it.
Feng Shenyu looked at Qian Lou and Cui Wei who were waiting on the side and asked:
"I heard that His Highness fainted this morning. Is he seriously ill?"
Qian Lou replied respectfully, "Cui Yu and the imperial physicians all said that this is because Your Highness is pregnant for the first time and her moods are fluctuating wildly..."
Feng Shenyu felt very upset after hearing this.
She was pregnant, but not only did he not discover it in time, he also made her faint due to anger. Damn it.
"His Highness, please wake up and help him. This is all a misunderstanding."
Feng Shenyu looked at Qian Lou and said.
Qian Lou said expressionlessly, "The Right Prime Minister should talk to His Highness himself."
Seeing that Qian Lou did not respond, Feng Shenyu turned around and looked at Li Yueyao and said:
"Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding. You are the only one in my heart."
“The governor of Zhao County and my family are related by marriage, and his youngest daughter married my second brother.
His son came to Beijing last month and heard about you and me. He went home and told my parents everything.
At first, my parents were happy and said that I finally had someone I loved and was going to get married. They were all happy for me.
But after my second brother's wife went back to her parents' home, her attitude changed.
Afterwards, he persuaded my mother to go to the temple to ask for divination.
My mother was frightened by what the monk said, and that’s why she hastily made this foolish arrangement.”
Feng Shenyu said as he reached out and took Li Yueyao's hand:
“Your Highness, I didn’t know you were pregnant with our child.
I made you angry and even fainted from anger. It was my fault and I will apologize to you.
When you wake up, don't continue to be angry about it and take care of your health.
I will handle my family affairs myself.
I've already sent someone to send my cousin back home, so don't worry."
Li Yueyao was sleeping soundly, and Feng Shenyu said these words to Qian Lou.
The eunuchs in the palace all have a unique skill, which is to relay one person's words to another person without missing a word.
Especially eunuchs like Qian Lou and Sun Fu, who could sometimes even imitate the voice and intonation perfectly.
Feng Shenyu sat in the side hall for a long time until the emperor sent someone to call him, then he turned around and left reluctantly.
When they returned to the main hall of Taiji Palace, Concubine Xian had already left, but the Fourth Prince was there.
The emperor glanced at Fengshenyu and said, "Have you seen it? Has your aunt forgiven you?"
Feng Shenyu shook his head.
"Her Highness has been resting, and I did not disturb her."
The emperor snorted coldly after hearing this.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, my aunt just said here that the child should be born with the surname Li.
I have already agreed."
Feng Shenyu nodded expressionlessly after hearing this: "Yes. Your Highness, whatever you say is whatsoever."
The emperor looked sideways at Feng Shenyu who was absent-minded in front of him and said in surprise:
"Ah, this isn't like you, is it?"
Feng Shenyu looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to take two days off to go home and put an end to this matter."
The emperor nodded and said, "Okay."
"The child's surname is Li, do you really not mind?" the emperor asked again.
"No matter what the child's surname is, he is still my child. I am not worried about that.
I am just worried..."
The emperor was very curious and asked, "What are you worried about?"
The Fourth Prince, who was listening nearby, laughed and said, "I know you are worried that your great-aunt will marry someone else with the child.
When the child is born, he or she will call someone else father directly."
It has to be said that the Fourth Prince was taught by Feng Shenyu and he knows Feng Shenyu's weaknesses very well.
The words hit the nail on the head.
When Feng Shenyu thought of the scene described by the Fourth Prince, he felt as if an arrow had hit his heart, and the pain instantly spread to every part of his body.
After hearing what the fourth prince said, the emperor stroked his beard and nodded.
"You should be worried about this, after all, I have no say in my aunt's marriage.
This matter can only be solved by the person who tied the bell, so you need to handle it yourself."
After Feng Shenyu came out of the palace, he took a group of people and rushed back to Zhaojun at full speed.
…
Zhaojun County Magistrate's Office.
County Magistrate Wang Qing'an was playing the classic game of blindfolded catch with his concubines in the backyard.
Suddenly, someone outside reported:
"Reporting to the master, an urgent secret letter has been sent from the Secretariat in the capital, six hundred miles away."
When Wang Qingan heard this, he immediately pulled off the red mandarin duck swimming bellyband covering his eyes.
His expression suddenly became serious, and he waved his hand, sending all the concubines away.
He took the secret letter brought down by the servant, confirmed the wax seal, and opened it.
After seeing the contents of the secret letter clearly, his back was instantly soaked with sweat, his legs trembled, and he collapsed in the chair.
Seeing this, the servant next to him hurried forward to help the man up.
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, I felt something was wrong.
He quickly took a heart-protecting pill, and after a while, Wang Qing'an finally recovered.
"My dear, my dear...what's wrong with you? Do you want to call the palace doctor..."
Wang Qingan waved weakly at the attendants.
Wang Qing'an has been working hard in the officialdom and has been in the position of county governor for so many years. He is not stupid.
When the eldest son of the Feng family came to Beijing and was accepted as the closed disciple by the old tutor, he foresaw that the Feng family would have a good future.
So he racked his brains to establish a relationship with the Feng family, and finally successfully arranged for his children to be in-laws.
Originally, Feng Shenyu was to be chosen as the bride price, but Feng Shenyu's father said that his father's marriage was decided by the old master.
As a last resort, he arranged a marriage for his second daughter with Feng Jinyu, the second son of the Feng family.
.
Now this happened suddenly and I was caught off guard.
After a long time, when Wang Qing'an recovered, he ordered his attendants to leave.
After hearing this, the servants did not dare to go far away, but just stood guard at the door from a distance.
Only then did Wang Qing'an look down at the secret letter in front of him again.
"If the inner chambers are not in good order, the harem is not at peace, and one cannot cultivate oneself and manage one's family, then one is unfit to govern the people for the emperor."
The inner curtains are not repaired?
Could it be that the Right Prime Minister, who was far away in the capital, knew that he and his concubine liked to play games every day?
Then he shook his head. He had been playing this game with his concubine for a few years, so why did he only remember to reprimand her now?
Besides, he only had seven concubines, which wasn’t too many.
The governor of the neighboring Chongshan County had thirteen concubines, but there was no news of the Secretariat issuing an edict to reprimand him.
Wang Qing'an looked carefully at the seal on the lower right corner of the letter again.
The seal of Fengshenyu was clearly printed on it.
Wang Qing'an was bewildered. The Right Prime Minister's family was related by marriage, so why did he suddenly issue an imperial decree to reprimand him?
There must be some other problems involved.
Then he thought again, if there is no peace in the harem, he should cultivate himself, manage his family, govern the country and bring peace to the world...
Could it be that something happened in the backyard that I don’t know about?
Wang Qingan pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Come here, call my wife over."
After hearing this, the servant turned around and left.
After the person left, Wang Qing'an felt more and more that something was wrong. The letter that left was a secret letter from the Secretariat, and the Right Prime Minister personally delivered the letter to reprimand him.
This matter must be related to the Feng family.
Wang Qingan hurriedly called out, "Come here, tell them I'm not feeling well, and send someone to the Feng Mansion to bring the second young lady back immediately."
After Wang Qing'an explained everything, he had someone help him to the back to change his clothes and tidy up his appearance.
The queen looked solemn and sat in the flower hall waiting.
Not long after, Mrs. Wang walked in leisurely and bowed to Wang Qing'an.
"My dear."
Wang Qingan glanced at her and said, "Well, please take a seat, Madam."
"Why did my lord ask me to come here?"
