A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 2003 Sharing Worries, I Want to Know What Happened

Feng Qingchen spent a full month on the road, from early autumn to late autumn. Feng Qingchen's belly became more and more obvious, and even autumn clothes could not cover it.

Feng Qingchen was very low-key when he entered the city that day. Like ordinary people, he lined up at the city gate. From time to time, he could hear the voices of people talking to each other.

"We fight every day, and I don't know when it will end."

"Why is the weather still so hot? I heard that in several small towns on the border, people in villages suddenly died, and then the entire village was destroyed."

"They say the harvest has been getting better over the past few years, but I feel like life is getting more and more tiring. There's not even a young man at home, and no one is harvesting the crops in the fields."

…

Feng Qingchen was originally leaning against the carriage to rest, but when she heard the sound of conversation outside, her eyes opened immediately and she looked towards Sun Sixing, her gaze meeting Sun Sixing's.

"Master, is it possible that an epidemic has occurred on the front line because the corpses were rotting and not dealt with in time?" The doctor's vigilance allowed Sun Sixing to glimpse the truth from the casual chat of those people.

"Yes." Feng Qingchen also received some information, but the information in the army has always been strictly confidential. When Feng Liyou led the army, he did not recognize his relatives. Even if Feng Qingchen's identity was there, the confidential information in the army would not be passed on to Feng Qingchen.

Of course, Feng Qingchen would not ask. She believed that Feng Liyou would tell her if she asked, but she could not guarantee that the news would not be leaked due to accidents during the transmission process.

Military secrets are related to the lives of thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers. Feng Qingchen will not joke with the lives of soldiers for his own selfish reasons.

Sun Sixing looked worried and wanted to say something, but it was their turn to enter the city, so Feng Qingchen told him not to worry and to wait until they entered the city to discuss everything.

Zuo An stepped forward and showed the Ninth Prince's token. The soldier guarding the city gate's eyes suddenly lit up, and his knees softened as he was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Zuo An's sword: "No need to make a fuss."

"Yes. Yes. Yes. Sir, please..." The soldier nodded repeatedly and took a step back to make way for Feng Qingchen and his group. Seeing this, the others vaguely understood that this group of people had an extraordinary origin, so they dodged and made way for Feng Qingchen and his group, not daring to compete with Feng Qingchen for the road.

Privileges are something that won't disappear just because you don't want to use them. According to Feng Qingchen's current status, she doesn't need to queue up like ordinary people, and can enter whenever she wants.

Power and status are really good things. Think about the scene when you were standing at the city gate, unable to enter; then think about it now. As long as Feng Qingchen is willing, the Ninth Prince can bring civil and military officials to the city gate to greet you and close the city gate for her.

Of course, the Ninth Prince did not come to the city gate to pick up Feng Qingchen, not because he did not know the time Feng Qingchen would enter the city, but... he had not thought of a way to make Feng Qingchen forgive him. Before that, he had to restrain himself so as not to offend Feng Qingchen.

However, although the Ninth Prince had not arrived, the rewards continued to flow into the Feng Mansion. As soon as Feng Qingchen stepped into the Feng Mansion, the rewards from the palace arrived.

Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and daily necessities. All the things that Feng Qingchen could use were sent by the Ninth Prince, including the embroiderers from the Shangyi Bureau, the midwives from the palace, the imperial doctors who specialized in gynecology, and even several wet nurses.

In addition, the children's toys, clothes, and food were also carried to the Feng Mansion in boxes. The first box of rewards had been stored in the warehouse, and the second box of rewards was still in the palace and had not yet been sent out.

Therefore, on this day, the people of the capital once again saw a grand scene: the road from the imperial palace to the Feng Mansion was filled with imperial guards, and boxes of rewards were delivered to the Feng Mansion one after another, blinding the eyes of the people of the city and intoxicating the hearts of all the unmarried girls in the city.

Being able to receive the favor of the Ninth Prince, even for just one day, would make my life worthwhile.

Those unmarried young ladies who were eligible to enter the palace were all delighted, waiting for the Ninth Prince's coronation ceremony to come, waiting for him to be crowned Queen and recruit concubines.

Then they will have a chance.

It doesn’t matter even if they can’t be as favored as Feng Qingchen. As long as they have a little favor from the Ninth Prince, they will be satisfied.

The Ninth Prince didn't know that his high-profile display of love not only failed to move Feng Qingchen, but instead attracted a large number of swarms of admirers. In the past, he could flatly refuse to marry or take concubines, but now as the emperor, he could not be so willful.

The emperor's affairs are national affairs, and the emperor's marrying a wife and taking concubines are also national affairs. As an emperor, you can have the woman you like, but it is also important to have a harem and expand your family.

Therefore, while the civil and military officials were urging the Ninth Prince to ascend the throne and become emperor as soon as possible, they were also urging him to establish a queen and take concubines, so as to expand the royal family and leave behind an heir as soon as possible.

"Qingchen has returned. You have no reason to refuse to ascend the throne this time, right?" Wang Jinling said this, but he himself did not believe it. Sure enough, the Ninth Prince once again made a request: "Hold the coronation ceremony and the queen ceremony together."

"Establish a queen? Who do you want to establish as the queen?" Wang Jinling asked knowingly, but the Ninth Prince was too lazy to pay attention to him and gave him a glare.

"Okay, I asked the wrong question. I should have asked, will Qingchen marry you?" Wang Jinling asked again something that hit the heart of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince glanced at him coldly and said, "If the Emperor wants to establish a queen, does he need to ask that woman if she is willing?"

In this world, Feng Qingchen is the only one who refuses to marry him. Now, there is no woman in this world that he cannot marry, except Feng Qingchen.

"It's not necessary, but do you really not want to ask Qingchen's wishes? Qingchen is not like other women. Given her personality, even if she is sensible, she can still disobey the order at this time. Are you sure you can afford to lose this person?" Even if the Ninth Prince can afford to lose this person, Dong Ling can't. The most important thing is that if he does so, things will be troublesome.

Disobeying the imperial order is a capital crime. Could the Ninth Prince kill Feng Qingchen?

If not, how can I explain to the people of the world? Will everyone be like Qingchen in the future, disobeying the order without being punished?

"As a subject, I should ask the emperor to share his worries. Do I need to worry about this matter?" The Ninth Prince was unable to persuade Feng Qingchen, so he pushed the problem to Wang Jinling.

The smile on Wang Jinling's face froze: "Are you sure you are serious?" Which minister would be as concerned as he is, even caring about his private affairs?

"Sure." If Wang Jinling could do it, the Ninth Prince wouldn't mind owing him a favor. But the Ninth Prince, who was desperate and trying every possible means, forgot that Wang Jinling was not one of those loyal old ministers who would allow him to bully them. Wang Jinling would not let him manipulate him easily.

"If you want me to persuade Qingchen, fine. Tell me the whole story. I want to know why you quarreled. No... I should say, I want to know why Qingchen stayed away from you. Don't tell me it was because of Lan Jiuqing's identity. Qingchen is not someone who can't figure things out."

Wang Jinling finished his words in one breath, then looked at the Ninth Uncle with a gentle expression, waiting for his answer...
