645 Wine, Can't Be Preserved

Is there someone coming to the palace?

What are people doing in the palace on such a snowy day?

"Go and take a look." Feng Qingchen nodded apologetically to Mr. Yuan Xi, then strode towards the front yard, leaving Mr. Yuan Xi alone, furious.

"Feng Qingchen, you... are a cold-blooded woman."

But it was useless to scold Feng Qingchen, as he could not hear anything. Mr. Yuan Xi had no choice but to wait, as he could not snatch the person from the emperor.

At this time, people came from the palace, either to comfort Feng Qingchen or to warn Feng Qingchen. The emperor must have known about the discovery of Feng Qingchen's parents' bodies. Three days had passed, and the emperor's decree should have arrived. After all, the Feng couple both died for the country.

As Mr. Yuan Xi expected, the emperor did issue an edict to talk about Feng's father and mother, but it was half consolation and half warning.

The Emperor praised General Feng for his bravery and sacrificing his life for his country; he also praised Madam Feng for her righteousness, which set the tone for the affairs of Feng's father and mother. He warned Feng Qingchen not to cause trouble, and then bestowed some things to comfort Feng Qingchen.

Considering that Feng Qingchen was a weak woman with no experience in holding funerals, the emperor specifically asked the Ministry of Rites to assist Feng Qingchen in handling the funeral of General Feng and Madam Feng. At the end, he also said that Ye Ye had made great contributions by finding the bodies of General Feng and Madam Feng. Ye Ye submitted a memorial requesting to attend the funeral of General Feng and Madam Feng. The emperor agreed and asked Feng Qingchen to cooperate.

"Your servant obeys your order!" Feng Qingchen lowered her head and said this through gritted teeth.

She accepted all the consolations before. It was the same for every emperor. It was right for his subjects to die for him. He had nothing to feel guilty about. She didn't say anything about it. She couldn't change the emperor's mind, but...

The last sentence made Feng Qingchen grit his teeth.

The emperor was so lucky to let Ye Ye attend her parents' funeral. Did he think that this would eliminate the hatred between her and Ye Ye?

dream!

She didn't think that Ye Ye would willingly attend her parents' funeral and kowtow and kneel in front of her parents.

Ahem, Feng Qingchen guessed correctly, this last request was not made by Ye Ye, but by City Lord Ye.

Lord Ye saw things more clearly than Ye Ye. Ye Ye's desecration of the corpses of Feng Qingchen's parents made Ye Cheng lose the upper hand in terms of justice, and he also offended the Wang family, the Cui family, the Ninth Prince of Dongling, the Crown Prince and others.

At this time, Yecheng must not be stubborn and must bow his head to Feng Qingchen and show goodwill. He must not let Dongling have a reason to send troops to Yecheng. So the Lord of Yecheng asks the Emperor to allow Ye Ye to attend the funeral of Feng's father and mother, hoping to calm Feng Qingchen's anger and the public opinion that is unfavorable to Yecheng, so that Dongling will have no reason to send troops.

Unfortunately, City Lord Ye’s idea was good, but the reality was very cruel. The two parties involved refused to cooperate at all. Regardless of whether Feng Qingchen was willing or not, Ye Ye refused. Ye Ye said that he would never bow down in front of Feng Qingchen even if he was beaten to death. He could not afford to lose face in front of this person.

Beat him to death!

Lord Ye got angry that day and started beating him with a whip.

If you don't bow your head, you will wait for the destruction of Yecheng. When the time comes, even if you want to bow your head, you won't be able to find a way. The Lord of Yecheng was very disappointed. He had been smart all his life, but how could he have such a confused son?

It's all Su Wan's fault, it's all that woman from the Su family. His son was fine before, but since he met Su Wan, he seemed to have lost his soul. He does things completely out of touch, and he's complacent even though he was taken advantage of, thinking he'd made a big profit.

The more City Lord Ye thought about it, the angrier he got, and the harder he beat her...

No matter how badly Ye Ye was beaten, it had nothing to do with Feng Qingchen. Feng Qingchen received the decree, and when he stood up, his face was no longer angry. He looked grateful, and gave the eunuch who announced the decree more rewards than usual: "It's snowing heavily, please trouble the eunuch to run a set, please have a cup of hot tea."

"Miss Feng, you are too polite." The eunuch took it without hesitation, weighed his purse, and the smile on his face became even brighter. This Miss Feng was indeed a generous person, and it was worth his trip in the heavy snow.

After finishing the business, the eunuch did not forget another important matter, and said with a smile: "Miss Feng, His Majesty heard that the wine in Miss Feng's house is mellow and unique, so he asked me to bring two jars into the palace when I return."

"Wine from my house?" Feng Qingchen's eyes flashed with surprise and he looked puzzled.

After the emperor sang that song, the palace was short of two jars of wine, so he came to her to ask for them.

"That's right, it's the wine from your house, Miss Feng. Miss Feng, please quickly pick the best one and send it to the emperor. If the emperor likes it, Miss Feng's kindness will not be spared." The eunuch received the silver and suggested with a smile.

Generally speaking, if the emperor wants something, the reward will definitely not be small. He is telling Feng Qingchen to seize the opportunity.

"Thank you for your reminder, eunuch. Qingchen will go to the wine cellar and get the best wine." Feng Qingchen's eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Even if her wine is purer than ordinary wine, it is impossible for it to reach the emperor's ears. However... since the emperor has asked, how can she refuse to give it to him?

Feng Qingchen winked at Tong Jue and Tong Yao, asking them to ask some questions, and then he walked towards the wine kiln.

After walking a few steps, he bumped into a guard. The guard didn't know how he got into the inner courtyard. He knocked Feng Qingchen back a few steps, but he walked forward without looking back.

Feng Qingchen was startled. When she reacted, she found a piece of paper in her hand. Feng Qingchen calmed down and looked around. She found that there was no outsider. She opened the paper and saw that it said: "Prince Lei praised the wine of Feng Mansion in front of His Majesty."

turn out to be……

Feng Qingchen crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and continued walking towards the wine cellar as if nothing had happened.

After counting the wine in the wine cellar and making sure that nothing was missing, Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, took out two unopened jars of wine from the wine cellar, and then took out a small jar, and then turned back.

Feng Qingchen returned to the main hall and solemnly handed the wine to the eunuch. As for the small jar, it was a filial tribute to the eunuch, asking him to say a few good words for her in front of the emperor.

The eunuch left with a smile on his face, praising Feng Qingchen for being a blessed person.

After the eunuch left, the smile on Feng Qingchen's face also disappeared. Tong Jue and Tong Yao didn't know what happened, so they stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss?"

"Ah..." Feng Qingchen responded unconsciously. When she came back to her senses, she saw the worry in the eyes of the two maids and said with a smile, "I'm fine. By the way, where is Mr. Yuan Xi?"

She's just tired!

She now understood what it meant to be walking on thin ice. How could one live if someone was coveting a jar of wine?

The Ninth Prince's reminder was not wrong. She must be careful and not act as recklessly and arrogantly as before. If she is not careful, she will be doomed.

"Mr. Yuan Xi is waiting for you in the back." Seeing that Feng Qingchen didn't say anything, Tong Jue and Tong Yao stopped asking. Feng Qingchen has been like this these past few days, looking like he has a lot on his mind.

Feng Qingchen nodded and went straight to find Mr. Yuan Xi. When Mr. Yuan Xi saw Feng Qingchen, he asked, "Have the people in the palace left?"

"I'm leaving, taking two jars of wine with me. By the way, Mr. Yuanxi, do you want some wine? I'll give you all the wine in my wine cellar. You can send someone to take it away in the evening." Keeping the wine in her hands would only cause trouble, and she had no ability to keep it. Rather than letting the emperor enjoy it, she would rather give it to Mr. Yuanxi.

Haha... It's very sad, isn't it? But it is normal in this world. It's because she has fine wine but doesn't have the ability to protect it.

Feng Qingchen smiled brightly, but Mr. Yuan Xi understood the bitterness behind Feng Qingchen's smile...
