Chapter 261 Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou are here too
The son of the Protector of the Country, Feng Shulai, and his wife, Jiang Shuyi, have two daughters. The eldest is the troublemaker Feng Panpan, and the second is Feng Manman, who is only seven years old and is just the right person to be a companion to
the princess The Empress Dowager has been a little cold to the Feng family since they made a fool of themselves many times, but when she saw the elderly Protector of the Country put aside his old face and came to ask for help in person, and thought of her niece Jiang Shuyi, her heart softened and she nodded and agreed.
After meeting the Protector of the Country, the Empress Dowager called Princess Jinse in again.
"My daughter, why haven't you been to the palace to see your mother for a long time!" The Empress Dowager looked at Yao Jinse lovingly.
Ever since she learned that Yao Jinse was her long-lost biological daughter, she had a feeling of trying to please Yao Jinse.
"I've been busy lately, and I dare not go to the palace too often, fearing that the emperor and empress would be jealous." Yao Jinse said lightly.
"Mother, this time I want you to ask for grace for Rou'er, so that she can go to the palace to be the princess's companion."
The empress dowager was a little surprised: "Rou'er also wants to go to the palace to be a companion?"
In fact, Yao Jinse did not want her daughter to be a companion.
Yao Jinse felt that if her daughter was allowed to go to the palace and stay with the empress dowager to be raised, it would not be bad. After all, she was her biological grandmother and could not stand being restrained or wronged. As for
going to the palace to be a companion, that would be too unfair to her own daughter.
However, Liang Chaozong tried his best to let Liang Zhirou enter the palace to accompany him to study.
Last night, Liang Chaozong said to her: "Once the northern border is unified, the Xiao family will soon become the king of the grassland."
"And once the Xiao family's power reaches that level, Xia Zhengqi, the dog emperor, will definitely be jealous of the Xiao family."
"By then, Empress Xiao's position as queen will most likely be abolished, and the position of crown prince will also be lost."
"By that time, the court will be in turmoil, the entire court will be unstable, and people will be in panic."
"At that time, maybe we can capture the capital in one fell swoop."
"We should place Rou'er there as soon as possible, she will be very useful."
Yao Jinse's eyes were red: "But, Rou'er is only eight years old. How can we let her do such a dangerous thing. She is our own flesh and blood."
Liang Chaozong looked out the window indifferently: "She is also a member of the Liang royal family. She should contribute to the restoration of the country!"
Yao Jinse felt a chill down her spine when she heard the person beside her say such cold-blooded words indifferently.
She begged Liang Chaozong several times in a low voice, but Liang Chaozong ignored her and even beat her, scolding her that a woman would not be able to accomplish anything great.
Finally, although Yao Jinse was reluctant, she still obediently entered the palace to see the empress dowager.
Seeing Yao Jinse in a daze, the Queen Mother gently took her hand and said, "If Rou'er wants to study, I will find a good teacher for her. Why does she have to enter the palace and be constrained by the Grand Master? It's uncomfortable."
Yao Jinse forced a smile and said, "Mother, I am not thinking about Rou'er's future?"
"If she becomes the princess's companion, when she grows up, she can marry into a noble family. Although I am a princess in name, I am an adopted daughter after all."
After hearing what Yao Jinse said, the Queen Mother said nothing more and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, the Queen Mother, as an elder, mentioned two candidates, Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou, to Xia Zhengqi.
In the past few years, Xia Zhengqi has been very alienated from his stepmother.
If he hadn't considered the overall situation, he would have thrown the Queen Mother into the prison and interrogated her for her crimes.
Now, when he heard that the Queen Mother had the audacity to let Feng Manman and Liang Zhirou enter the palace, he just found it funny and nodded in agreement.
When the Queen found out, she was a little worried and said, "Feng Manman is Panpan's biological sister, how can she have good character? As for Liang Zhirou, it's obvious that she came in with evil intentions. Why did your Majesty agree to all of this?"
Xia Miaoyuan, on the other hand, seemed heartless and jumped around: "Great, two more little friends! It's lively! It's lively!"
Xia Zhengqi laughed and said, "Ruoyu, you worry too much."
"Let's talk about Liang Zhirou first. If we didn't know her identity, she might be a big hidden danger."
"But now, we know her background and can guess her purpose. What else is there to be afraid of?"
"We can just watch it for fun and keep an eye on her secretly."
[The Emperor is so smart, his analysis makes a lot of sense! 】
Xia Zhengqi raised his chin with some pride, and said: "As for Feng Manman, I agreed to it just to save face. As for whether she performs well after entering the school, we will talk about it later. If she doesn't perform well, we can find a reason to kick her out."
When the queen heard it, she was sure that this was the truth, so she didn't say anything else.
After the list of the princess's companions was decided, the main hall quickly decorated the classroom and added tables and chairs.
At the same time, the queen issued an imperial decree to add three courses for the princess and the four companions: embroidery, piano art, and flower arrangement.
Seven days later, the companions all entered the palace with their boxes and cages.
When Xia Miaoyuan learned that her little cousin Xiao Wanyin had moved in, she was as happy as a little bee and went straight to the companions' residence.
At this time, Xiao Wanyin was six and a half years old, and had already gotten rid of her previous childishness.
She wore a fitted brocade long skirt, with a small fairy bun on her head, decorated with pearls and flowers. She looked delicate and beautiful, very cute.
"Little cousin!" Xia Miaoyuan shouted, and ran into Xiao Wanyin's bedroom happily.
Xiao Wanyin was watching the palace maid packing her things, and when she saw Xia Miaoyuan coming, she was also very happy.
"Miao'er! I missed you so much!"
The two sisters hugged each other tightly.
Although they were in the same capital, Xiao Wanyin, as a royal relative, could also enter the palace to visit the queen and Xia Miaoyuan, but Xiao Licheng was more concerned about the rumors outside, and would occasionally bring his daughter to Kunning Palace to visit her sister.
Therefore, Xia Miaoyuan and Xiao Wanyin did not have many opportunities to meet.
Before, Xia Miaoyuan really missed Xiao Wanyin, so she could only beg her brothers to take her out of the palace.
Now, Xiao Wanyin has entered the palace to accompany her, and the two cousins can be together every day.
"Cousin Wanyin, you move to Kunning Palace and we can live together. It's much more convenient than here." Xia Miaoyuan hugged Xiao Wanyin for a while and said after letting go.
"But, all the other companions live here, and I am the only one who wants special treatment. Is this appropriate?" Xiao Wanyin hesitated.
Before entering the palace, Xiao Licheng had told her many times not to be willful and naughty just because she was the niece of the queen, so as not to bring trouble to the queen.
