274 Okay, the Ninth Prince is jealous
Lose face!
Everyone in the imperial city knew that the Xie family had humiliated her. If she were to be on good terms with the Xie family at this time, it would indeed be suspected of flattery. However, if she stood up and confronted the Xie family, it would offend the Xie family and would only make her enemies happy.
Feng Qingchen would never do such a thing that would harm herself and benefit others.
"Let's put things one way and compared to human life, face is nothing." It is human instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. She is not money, and everyone can love her, flowers can bloom when she sees them, and cars can be carried when she sees them.
At most, the Ninth Prince's carriage would stop for a moment when it saw her.
Sun Zhengdao didn't say anything, but just stared at Feng Qingchen, as if he wanted to see through her. Feng Qingchen didn't care and let him look at her calmly.
"You are quite insightful. It's a blessing to be able to think positively." Sun Zhengdao nodded, with tears of relief glistening in his eyes when no one was seeing.
"This has nothing to do with being open-minded. It's a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. Although I won't turn back even if I hit a wall, I definitely won't hit it if I know it's a wall." Feng Qingchen stood up and smoothed the folds on his clothes.
"It's settled now. The rest is left to you, Doctor Sun." Sun Zhengdao was so straightforward that it would be hypocritical for her to be polite again.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. If the Xie family wants a prince, they will definitely help." Sun Zhengdao knew very well where the Xie family's weakness was.
"Being a prince is still a long way off. I think Concubine Xie should work harder on her status. She still has room for advancement." It takes ten months to be pregnant and give birth to a child, and there is no guarantee that it will be a prince, so it is better to plan for the present first.
"What do you mean?" Sun Zhengdao narrowed his eyes, and the gleam in his eyes could not be hidden for a moment, and was caught by Feng Qingchen.
How could an imperial physician have such a sharp and all-seeing look? Feng Qingchen had a huge question mark in his mind.
The more I get along with Sun Zhengdao, the more I realize that he is not a simple person.
Who is Sun Zhengdao? She used to suspect that Sun Zhengdao was the Ninth Prince's man, but after spending some time with him, she found out that he was not.
Sun Zhengdao reacted very quickly, and quickly hid the gleam in his eyes. He showed a calm smile to Feng Qingchen, but it was more like a concealed smile: "Will the Xie family do this?"
"Of course. If you add the word 'emperor' before the name of imperial concubine, the child born will be more noble." Everyone has secrets. Feng Qingchen did not ask further questions and pretended not to notice and said lightly.
Although a mother is honored by her son, it is more about the son and the mother. The son of the imperial concubine is more honorable than the son of the imperial concubine. For the sake of the future prince, the Xie family will definitely work hard...
There is only one letter difference between the Empress Dowager and the Concubine Dowager, but the treatment they receive is worlds apart.
"You have found the Xie family's weak spot." Anyone with a little bit of common sense in the imperial city understood what the Xie family was planning.
Isn't it just that I hope the next emperor of Dongling can have some relationship with the Xie family?
"If you want enormous wealth, you have to take risks. The Xie family understands the pros and cons of this, and there's no need for us to say more. In order to muddy the waters a little, I decided to invite Wang Jinling to dinner tomorrow." Feng Qingchen revealed a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, dispersing her steadiness and shrewdness, and she looked like a girl next door.
Sun Zhengdao smiled unconsciously and said in the tone of an elder: "You are playing such a big game, aren't you afraid that the emperor will get angry? This birthday gift will piss him off to death."
"No, the emperor is too happy to be angry. As long as Li Xiang is not dead, the emperor will not be really angry." People are afraid of hope. As long as there is hope, there is hope.
As long as Li Xiang is alive, the emperor will continue to dream of unifying the world, and will be more tolerant when facing the contest between the queen and Concubine Xie.
"It's good that you know the limits." Sun Zhengdao was very happy. Feng Qingchen was not reckless. She saw the situation clearly before making her move.
"I cherish my life very much." Feng Qingchen's biggest fear in this life is not not being able to love, but death.
In the face of life and death, feelings are actually very fragile things. At least Feng Qingchen will not sacrifice her life for the so-called love.
Having seen many births, deaths, illnesses and having died once, Feng Qingchen cherishes her life more than anyone else. She will never gamble with her life at any time.
The six-month protection period she requested from Dong Ling Zi Luo is about to expire. The person who attacked her in the first place will definitely continue to attack. She is now more hateful than before. She has to plan carefully, lure out the person behind the scenes, and clean up those who need to be cleaned up.
"Live well, your parents will be very happy to see you like this." Sun Zhengdao was standing with his back to the light, and Feng Qingchen could not see the expression on his face. She was just very surprised why Sun Zhengdao suddenly mentioned her parents.
In this imperial city, very few people mentioned her parents. Lu Shaolin was one of them, and Sun Zhengdao was one of them. Feng Qingchen wanted to ask, but Sun Zhengdao turned his back, which was a clear refusal.
Forget it, just don’t say it.
After returning to Feng Mansion, Feng Qingchen finished her meal and then took a bath with the help of her maid. In order to relieve her fatigue, the maid pressed acupoints on Feng Qingchen. Half an hour later, Feng Qingchen looked refreshed and no longer tired.
I have to say that the maid sent by Wang Jinling is really good, but unfortunately the Feng family has a poor foundation. Maids like this are trained from childhood, and it takes at least ten years from the selection of such a maid to her being able to be used.
Feng Qingchen asked someone to send a note to Wang Jinling, saying that he would be invited to have dinner at Zhufeng Tower in the Imperial City at noon the next day. This was the first time Feng Qingchen formally invited someone to dinner.
Wang Jinling couldn't believe it when he received the invitation. If it wasn't sent by the Wang family, he would definitely not accept it. He read it several times before smiling and saying, "Your young lady finally looks like a lady from a noble family. Tell her I will be there on time."
Feng Qingchen didn't have the habit of keeping a maid to accompany him at night when he went to bed, and tonight was no exception. She asked the housekeeper to book a seat at Zhufeng Tower, and Feng Qingchen asked the maid to leave.
Zhufeng Tower is the largest inn in the imperial city. A seat there can only be booked at least half a month in advance. However, this is not something Feng Qingchen needs to worry about. The butler sent by the Wang family is very capable and can book even the most difficult seats (5).
Ahem... inviting Wang Jinling to dinner but asking the Wang family to give face, this is really... Wang Jinling won't care anyway.
After a tiring day, Feng Qingchen basically fell asleep as soon as she fell asleep, but when she was sleeping soundly, she was dug up again...
It was still the Su family's secret room. Feng Qingchen was not as nervous and uneasy as the first time. He shook off Su Wenqing's warm hand and walked forward while yawning.
"Su Wenqing, make me a cup of strong tea, the stronger the better." She knew that she would not be able to sleep today, because besides Bu Jingyun, Lan Jiuqing was also injured.
"You really are becoming less and less of an outsider." After seeing Feng Qingchen's toughness, Su Wenqing had long given up on her.
He was afraid that if he married such a wife and she told him during dinner how so-and-so's intestines and lungs were today and how many corpses she had cut up, he would definitely vomit to death.
If I discussed with him in the bedroom how to decompose a corpse and how to open the skull, he would probably fall off the bed out of shock.
It’s not that he is timid, it’s that Feng Qingchen is too brave. He is so brave that he dares to interfere in everything and is not afraid of losing his own life!
He thought that Jiuqing would be worried. If Jiuqing knew that Feng Qingchen and Wang Jinling were having dinner at Zhufeng Tower tomorrow, he would probably be depressed to death!
