A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1895 Appraisal, From then on, the king did not go to court early
Having not seen each other for a month, the two naturally had a lot to talk about. After the Ninth Prince sent Feng Qingchen back to the Feng Mansion, he did not return to the Prince's Palace, but stayed overnight at the Feng Mansion.
Feng Jin had been traveling for days and was already very tired. When Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince came back, Feng Jin was already fast asleep and had no energy to be a light bulb.
The Ninth Prince naturally would not tell Feng Qingchen that he had chosen this time to come here on purpose. He was really afraid of that little ancestor Feng Jin.
When two people are together, they don’t need to do anything. As long as they can see each other when they look up and hug each other when they reach out their hands, the Ninth Prince will be satisfied.
Feng Qingchen knew that the Ninth Prince was full of rejection towards the mother who suddenly appeared. Knowing that the Ninth Prince was in a bad mood, Feng Qingchen picked some light-hearted things to talk about.
Although she encountered a rebellion in Jiangnan, she was not in real danger. The ones who really faced danger were the soldiers on the front line, so there were quite a few relaxing and enjoyable things.
The Ninth Prince's brows were indeed relaxed a lot. He gently hugged Feng Qingchen and smelled the refreshing and sunny scent on Feng Qingchen. He took a breath with satisfaction. Seeing that Feng Qingchen was tired, he patted her on the back and said, "Go to sleep." He still had a lot to do tomorrow.
Early the next morning, people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion came to Feng Mansion, carrying a handkerchief stained with Madam Min's blood and the Ninth Prince's court robes.
In addition to these, the housekeeper was holding a very abrupt object in his hand. Feng Qingchen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this?"
The housekeeper had a bitter face and whispered, "This is the breakfast that Madam Min prepared for the prince. Heat it up with warm water. If you want it, you must bring it to the Ninth Prince."
He didn't want to do that, but Madam Min didn't give him any chance to refuse. She stood in front of him with a gentle look on her face, blocking his way. If he didn't agree to send her off, she would have to come to Feng Mansion in person.
"Love breakfast?" Feng Qingchen glanced at the Ninth Uncle with a hint of meaning. The Ninth Uncle straightened his sleeves and said without raising his head, "Give the Snow Wolf a snack."
"I thank you on behalf of Xuelang." Feng Qingchen waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave.
Before leaving, the butler secretly glanced at the Ninth Uncle. Seeing that the Ninth Uncle had a blank expression, the butler felt a chill down his spine, and always felt that his move seemed to be wrong.
Sweat... being a housekeeper is hard. Being a housekeeper caught between the Ninth Prince and his mother is even harder.
After the servants left, only Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were in the room. Feng Qingchen stepped forward, picked up the court robe and put it on the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince naturally spread his arms, cooperated with Feng Qingchen's movements, and even bent down slightly to make it easier for Feng Qingchen to adjust his collar.
After finishing everything, Feng Qingchen took three steps back, looked her up and down, and then said with great satisfaction: "I am indeed very virtuous."
"Who said you are not virtuous?" The Ninth Prince patted Feng Qingchen on the head as a reward.
This action was completely a reward for the puppy. Feng Qingchen was embarrassed for a moment, and then openly complained: "If your mother wasn't afraid that I would starve you, why would she specially have someone send a breakfast, and only one portion at that."
If Madam Min was really the Ninth Prince's mother, Feng Qingchen could easily understand that Madam Min did not like her.
Come to think of it, no mother in this era would like a woman like her as a daughter-in-law. A daughter-in-law who is too strong is a provocation to the majesty of the mother-in-law.
"You're too suspicious." The Ninth Prince continued to comb Feng Qingchen's hair. The neat bun was turned into a bird's nest by the Ninth Prince, forcing Feng Qingchen to comb her hair again.
After all the trouble between the two of them, it was too late for the Ninth Prince to go out. All the civil and military officials in the court were waiting in the main hall for the Ninth Prince to preside over the court meeting.
"Is this the legendary king who will no longer hold court early in the morning?" People who were well-informed naturally knew that Feng Qingchen had returned to the city yesterday.
As soon as Feng Qingchen returned to the city, the Ninth Prince was late for the grand court meeting held every five days. No one would believe that the two were not related.
"Be careful what you say." The eldest son glanced at the man indifferently. Although he did not mean to blame him, others were still frightened and kept silent, and dared not to joke with Feng Qingchen again.
Everyone knows that the eldest master has always protected Feng Qingchen.
When the Ninth Prince entered the hall, there was dead silence inside. The Ninth Prince did not care much and sat down in the position below the throne. As for the throne, it was vacant.
At the morning court, only the emperor could sit down, and at Dongling's morning court, only the ninth uncle could sit down.
Only after the Ninth Prince sat down did the eunuch announce the start of the grand court meeting.
The most recent grand court meeting in Dongling was all about the battles with Beiling and Chucheng, but today they are going to discuss the rebellion in Jiangnan.
The news that the war in Jiangnan had been quelled had been reported back to Beijing. The government silver and grain had increased by 10% compared to previous years, which was said to be the proceeds from the suppression of the rebels. However, even so, the court had to reorganize the officials in Jiangnan to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
As for Shandong, the news of the war between the Fengli tribe and Taicheng had long been blocked by the Ninth Prince. Except for a few core figures, all the officials in the court did not know what had happened in Shandong.
It is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court. Feng Qingchen's people are in Shandong, and they are about to change the ownership of Shandong, but those people in the imperial city have not received any news at all.
As soon as Feng Qingchen came back, Qiu Hua and Wan Qing, who stayed in the capital, brought a lot of information and were preparing to report to Feng Qingchen about some recent events.
"Let's talk about this later. I have to go to the cabin and no one is allowed to disturb me." Although it is important to know the developments in the capital, it is more important to do a paternity test for the Ninth Prince.
Before the Ninth Prince's recognition, this Madam Min had already made a big splash in the Imperial City. Before the Ninth Prince returned to the city, this Madam Min was sent directly to the Imperial City by the people of Liancheng.
The envoy from Liancheng pushed Madam Min out in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, and Madam Min answered everyone's questions fluently. With the confirmation of several old ministers, Madam Min's identity was basically determined before the Ninth Prince entered the city.
If Wang Jinling had not strongly opposed it and wanted to wait for the Ninth Prince to come back, perhaps the title of Empress Dowager would have been given to Madam Min.
Regardless of whether Mrs. Min was used by someone, it is important to confirm her identity.
If not, the Ninth Prince would naturally not show mercy to her and would even have a reason to declare war on Liancheng.
If Madam Min is really the biological mother of the Ninth Prince, no matter how cruel the Ninth Prince is, he would never kill his own mother. At least he will be filial to her. As long as Madam Min does not cause trouble, her old age will not be miserable.
Feng Qingchen knew the importance of this matter and would naturally take it seriously. DNA paternity testing is the most accurate paternity test currently available, and Feng Qingchen is currently doing a DNA paternity test for the Ninth Prince and Madam Min.
Generally, paternity tests are done to test the relationship with the father's side, and rarely to test the relationship with the mother. After all, the father may not be the biological father, but if the child crawls out of her belly, the mother must know clearly whether it is her son.
This was Feng Qingchen's first time doing a DNA paternity test. In order to ensure accuracy, Feng Qingchen did it three times in a row, and the results were all...
