127 Past Events

The Xie family had a royal concubine, but this royal concubine had been in the palace for seven years without giving birth. Over the years, the Xie family had tried all kinds of famous doctors and folk remedies, but to no avail.

Everyone in the Xie family was extremely anxious.

The Imperial Concubine is in favor now, but how long can the women in the harem remain favored if they don’t have a son?

After younger and more beautiful women enter the palace, you will be able to get more favor.

Although the princes are now grown up, it does not mean that the princes born at this time have no chance to climb to that position.

Today, the emperor is only in his early forties and is in good health. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be no problem for the emperor to sit on the throne for another ten years.

If Concubine Xie gave birth to a prince, the emperor would not easily suspect her because of her young age. And more than ten years later, when the prince grew up, he would also have the opportunity to compete for that position.

Even though the emperor dotes on Prince Luo now, once the crown prince dies and Prince Luo becomes powerful, the emperor should be on guard against him.

The royal family is ruthless. The emperor supports Prince Luo only to deal with the crown prince and test the ninth uncle.

Don’t underestimate it, it’s just a small poetry gathering, but it actually contains a lot of mysteries.

Since Feng Qingchen is constantly involved with the royal family, there is no way for him to avoid it.

Wang Jinling hopes Feng Qingchen will enter this circle. Only in this way can she see more clearly and go further.

Feng Qingchen wants to use this opportunity to break into this world, and the Xie family wants to befriend her and use her medical skills to make the Xie family even richer.

Everyone has his or her own plans, and as long as the plans are good, it will be beneficial to everyone.

Aristocratic family, imperial power, Wang Jinling didn’t care about them before because he was blind, but now that his eyesight is healed, he can no longer live the same leisurely life as before.

He is the eldest son of the Wang family. He has enjoyed the wealth and glory brought by the surname "Wang" since he was born, but he also has to pay for this surname.

Outsiders only see the glorious side of the young master of a noble family, but who knows how much he has paid for this family name?

Wang Jinling's persuasion was still effective. Feng Qingchen thought about it and no longer rejected it. The situation slowly improved, and her life would get better and better. Such poetry gatherings were always unavoidable.

Since she had decided to attend the poetry reading hosted by the Xie family, Feng Qingchen certainly would not be pretentious anymore. After leaving Wang Jinling's yard, she walked towards the hall, hoping that Xie San was still there.

"Zhou Xing, go tell Feng Qingchen again that this poetry meeting is very important and ask her to attend." Xie San looked anxious.

"Zhou Xing, how about you let me meet Feng Qingchen and let me persuade her. This poetry gathering is really important to her. No matter what Feng Qingchen thinks of the Xie family, I don't want her to miss the opportunity to revive her reputation. You know, if Feng Qingchen refuses the Xie family this time, no one will dare to invite Feng Qingchen to participate in a poetry gathering again."

Xie San pushed the post in front of Zhou Xing with pleading eyes.

If he didn't know that the Xie family was in the wrong towards Feng Qingchen, he, the third young master Xie, would never be so humble.

"Third Master, my sister fell into the water and caught a cold, so I won't see any guests." Zhou Xing refused calmly and pushed the post back.

"In order to cooperate with Wang Jinling, the poetry gathering will be held in seven days. After seven days, all Feng Qingchen's illnesses will be cured." Xie San was depressed to death.

This is just him. If anyone else heard that Feng Qingchen was unwilling to go, they would immediately take the note and leave without paying any attention to Feng Qingchen.

Not everyone can join a poetry gathering, and giving someone a post is itself a form of recognition.

To put it bluntly, the Xie family gave Feng Qingchen the invitation to give her face. Otherwise, based on her reputation and the Feng family's situation, even if Feng Qingchen cured Wang Jinling's eyes, she would not be qualified to enter the poetry meeting.

"Third Young Master, my sister..."

"Thank you, Third Young Master. I will attend the poetry meeting on time in seven days." Feng Qingchen walked out and took the invitation from the table.

"Sister?" Zhou Xing was puzzled. It had only been a short time and Feng Qingchen had changed her mind.

"I know my limits."

"Don't force yourself." Zhou Xing signaled with his eyes.

Feng Qingchen smiled and said nothing more.

There is no need to force it. Madam Xie gave her the invitation, so she will probably not do anything to her. Madam Xie will never be as arrogant and self-righteous as Princess Anping.

"Feng Qingchen, you're overthinking it. No one will make things difficult for you at the poetry meeting." Xie San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Feng Qingchen agreed.

"I hope so." Feng Qingchen didn't express this hope. Just because Madam Xie wouldn't do so doesn't mean others wouldn't do so.

There are definitely difficulties, but she doesn't take it to heart. No matter how difficult it is, it won't be as difficult as the Peach Blossom Festival.

"Don't worry, Wang Qi and I are here, and the eldest son of the Wang family will also be there. The three of us will be your backers, who dares to bully you? Feng Qingchen, I tell you, at the poetry meeting..."

“Boom boom boom…”

Xie San was just about to talk to Feng Qingchen about something that happened at the poetry meeting, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who is this, so violent?"

Xie San stopped unhappily, and Zhou Xing also walked out. However, before he reached the threshold, he heard a "bang" and the door of Feng Mansion was directly opened.

Well……

Feng Qingchen's face was filled with black lines.

There would be no one else other than Yuwen Yuanhua who could be so violent.

Sure enough, Yu Wenzhi, dressed in casual clothes, walked in. There was a middle-aged man beside him, and a young man in his early twenties followed behind him.

The two men walked with a majestic gait, and it was obvious that they were soldiers. Judging from their appearance, they should be father and son.

"Feng Qingchen, you are here? Why don't you open the door for so long?" As soon as Yu Wen Yuanhua came in, he started to criticize her bluntly.

Yuwen Yuanhua did not consider himself an outsider at all.

Zhou Xing's silent tears...

General Yuwen, you have to give people a chance.

"Yuwen Yuanhua, are you looking for me?" Feng Qingchen didn't bother to be polite with him and asked straight to the point.

"It's not me who's looking for you, it's them." Yuwen Yuanhua pointed at the people next to him.

"Miss Feng." The two men saluted Feng Qingchen.

"Your soldiers?" Feng Qingchen was a little confused.

"What are you looking at? This is General Wei. He fought in Xiling with your father. He is now staying in Beijing and working in the Ministry of War."

In other words, a general who was sidelined.

It makes sense. The soldiers who fought with General Feng in the expedition to Xiling were either killed in battle or demoted. General Wei was most likely a victim of this incident.

"Greetings, General Wei. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you because of my poor eyesight. Please forgive me." Feng Qingchen quickly bowed and apologized.

But she didn't understand why Yuwen Yuanhua brought this general to her house?

Is it related to my dad?

Feng Qingchen looked at Yuwen Yuanhua and asked, but Yuwen Yuanhua shook his head.

I don’t know, is it because I didn’t understand what Feng Qingchen meant, or is it irrelevant…
