Chapter 27

The oracle was quickly transmitted to the Chengqian Palace, the Empress was eating her dinner, and when Shen Duzhi left, she immediately slammed her bowl down: ”What do you mean don’t bother me? I am the Empress, the mother of the Emperor’s son! Whose marriage is not for me to take care of? What does this mean!”

Sister Fang immediately persuaded, “Your Majesty the Empress rests her anger.”

The Empress couldn’t figure it out, “His Majesty was clearly angry with that brat when he left just now, why did he change after a trip to Yonghua Palace?”

“I think it must be that Shukui Concubine coaxed His Majesty with her clever words.”

“No, she again coquettishly, but also dare not ask the emperor for the right and responsibility to organize the marriage of the prince! Go and inquire for me, what happened?!”

“Yonghua Palace is like an iron bucket, the slave girl can only try her best to ask .”

The setting sun fell on the side of the corner tower, the view was incomparably magnificent. Zhou Xian Yang hadn’t seen this image in many years.

When Duan Fei left the palace to go home, he would often pass by this high platform with a wide view, and today was no exception.

“This is one of the most beautiful views in the palace, does Your Highness still remember?” Duan Fei stood beside King Yu, filled with emotion.

“Of course I remember, back when I wasn’t big enough, Lord Duan would hold me to see the beauty of the sunset from the corner tower.”

“Nowadays, Your Highness is taller than me.”

“Many thanks to Lord Duan for hiding the truth for me. Otherwise, by me, the matter of having an illicit affair with someone else’s girl would have been shaken out.”

“The affection of a young child, my humble servant is a person who has been there and understands. When His Highness gets married, there will be no need to send even a bottle of medicine quietly.”

Zhou Xian Yang smiled, surprisingly somewhat embarrassed.

“Moreover, this matter involves the prince, Your Highness should also avoid suspicion. His Majesty is really the style of resting on his laurels, and once Lei Shi dies, this matter will be completely dead.”

“Well, that’s to be expected.”

Zhou Xian Yang knew that destroying the fourth girl’s reputation would be a slap in his face, embarrassing him and the British Duke’s Mansion. At that time, the marriage would inevitably be annulled, and only another candidate could be decided upon, and whether it was the first daughter of the British Duke’s House, or another family’s daughter, it would inevitably give rise to suspicion. This thing, he thought of, the emperor should also thought of.

His heart is not not hate. In order to combat him, he almost harmed the fourth girl of the Rong family. If he hadn’t happened to have Xiao Nan deliver the medicine, the consequences would have been unimaginable. However, there wasn’t much he could do now, and being able to preserve her reputation was already the best outcome.

Duan Fei finishes the important matters, wants to say something, and finally reminds King Yu, “Your Highness, that Rong Family’s fourth girl is not someone who is weak and can be bullied.”

Zhou Xian Yang doesn’t understand what he means. Duan Fei then relays what he heard from Lei Shi to King Yu: “He also said that the Rong Family’s Fourth Girl is a demoness.”

Zhou Xian Yang couldn’t help but laugh out at the absurdity. Unexpectedly, under Rong Xiangmian’s delicate appearance, she hides so many hidden secrets, and becomes even more curious within her heart.

As the two were chatting, a young inner official with a clear face slowly walked over.

The two were silenced at the same time.

“Greetings to His Highness King Yu.”

“This is …….”

“This is Deputy Governor Chen.”

“So young to be the Vice-Captain?” Zhou Xian Yang signaled him to excuse himself.

“Yes, I’ve been in the palace for so many years, it’s the first time I’ve seen such a young vice governor .” Duan Fei also admired him, thinking that with his insight and talent, it would be a shame to stay in the palace as an inner official.

“Thanks to Your Excellency’s promotion, Chen Rixin doesn’t dare to take this compliment.” He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, respectful and modest, making people feel like spring breeze.

Zhou Xian Yang didn’t say any more, quitting Duan Fei and heading towards the North Palace Gate.

Only then did Chen Rixin raise his head and eyed him with eyes that were calm and deep, back in the winter of a certain year of Longzhi.

Just entered the palace of the little chamberlain, made a mistake, was punished kneeling in the snow, with bamboo strips to whip the heart of the hand plate.

Pain to the palm of the hand tearing feeling, still can not forget. His heartbreaking cries alarmed the nobleman who passed by in a sedan chair outside.

Vermilion red carving with gold phoenix pattern sedan chair came from a very gentle voice.

“Stop.”

The chamberlain who had physically punished him immediately knelt down on the canal outside: “Long live the Empress.”

“Such a young chamberlain, corporal punishment like this on a snowy day, how can you hurt Benli?”

“He did something wrong, so I educated him.”

“If every one is smart and clever, how can you show your talent.”

“The Empress is flattering.”

The Empress again asked the little chamberlain what his name was and which characters he was.

Chen Rixin knelt in the snow and wrote down three characters with his swollen hand.

The curtain of the sedan chair lifted, and the most honorable woman of the state dynasty, and the most graceful and beautiful woman Chen Rixin had ever seen, walked out and walked in his direction before he could see it clearly, “This is the Yan style?”

“Yes.”

“The characters are written so well even in the snow. Xian Yang, look at the others.”

“Well ……,” a noble Fourth Highness hugged Empress Yu’s leg, his neck held high in defiance.

“Have you ever been to school?”

“Your Highness, slave has attended four years of school in the family school.”

“I think, you also used to be a child of a scholar’s family, and only entered the palace after a disaster at home.”

“Auntie Mingjian.”

“In the Shangshu Room, several of His Highnesses were naughty, and the master didn’t dare to severely chastise them. The chamberlains who serve them are all children of poor families who don’t know how to read. I am trying to find some who have read books to serve them, thinking that if the palace chamberlains know more than they do, they will be too embarrassed to think of playing.”

“The Empress is virtuous, and all the imperial sons share in the favor.” The in-charge chamberlain kicked Chen Rixin crookedly, “Still not thanking for the grace.”

“In the future, do not physically punish the little courtiers!” The Empress, rarely serious, added, “Chen Rixin, you don’t have to work for a few days, get your body and hands well. At the beginning of next month, start serving in the Shangshu room and follow your highnesses to read.”

“Slave thanks the Empress.” Chen Rixin flopped down in the snow, tears streaming down his face.

At this time, a pair of new small boots stood in front of him. Chen Rixin looked up, and the Fourth Highness held a hand warmer and handed it to him. Chen Rixin took it, forgetting to thank him, and the Fourth Highness laughed and said, “See you in the Shangshu Room!”

After saying that, he followed the Empress into the sedan chair.

Years had passed, and Fourth Highness was now King Yuh, but the Empress was no longer with him.

Zhou Xian Yang sensed that someone had been watching him, and as he walked out of the palace gates, he glanced back at the young Vice-Captain on the high platform, and then turned around to leave with an expressionless face.

Returning to Fufeng Xuan from the polo club, Rong Xiangmian combed and removed her makeup, took out the bracelet given by King Yu and placed it in front of the lamp for a closer look. Body transparent white, warm and flawless, is a good sheep fat jade, just such color, each palace and each house can also find a few pieces to, how is the most important thing?

Is it?

Could it be that this is what the former Empress Yu left to King Yu?

Rong Xiangmian saw this idea popping up coldly in his heart and startled himself.

Then …… is this something that his mother left for him?

This is really a bit of a hot gift ……

Rong Xiangxian couldn’t help but think wildly in his heart, after that night in the city temple, he saw her once and sent such an important thing to her hands?

Thinking about how he helped her several times and thought so well of himself, she dissipated all the displeasure she had accumulated in the previous days.

Lin Lang saw that she was fuming, and about guessed what was on her mind: ”Girl, rub the medicine. Otherwise your arm will be ruined tomorrow.”

Rong Xiangmian has not used her left arm to play ball for a long time, but fortunately, after rubbing the medicine, although there is some soreness on the second day, she is still able to dress herself.

Rong sisters ate lunch together, found that Rong Xiangzhi’s hair more than a red gold shakes, glittering.

Sisters asked, Rong Xiangzhi said: “Yesterday, Yu Wang said that there is a negative entrusted, and apologize to me …….”

Not yet finished, immediately interrupted by the mother, this is ultimately an unmarried man and woman private affairs.

The words were only half spoken, but let the bystanders misunderstand. The maids of the Rong Xiangshi were furious and went back to the house to whine, “What does King Yu mean? Sending medicine to the girl this way, and giving the third girl a walking stick that way, is he going to enjoy the happiness of all of us?”

Rong Xiangmian also guesses that this is the best ending for the Yuhang Mansion, the British Duke’s Mansion, and His Majesty.

But did anyone ask her?

She was like an object, being pushed around. Unfortunately, her father was busy and didn’t come home last night, so she had no place to say what she wanted to say.

In the afternoon, someone from the palace informed her that there would be a decree coming down on Sunday, and asked the whole family to be at home, especially the Duke of State, to be sure to be at home to listen to the decree.

So prudent, the whole family alarmed, I do not know what is an important decree. The palace chamberlain kindly said, “Naturally, it is the joyous occasion of the two girls.”

Mrs. State Duke heart rejoice: if it is a side consort, why need to alarm the whole house? The two girls’ happy event? Then, you must have given the marriage to King Yuh? It is not in vain that she has worked hard for her daughter!

Liu immediately sends someone to notify the Duke of State, the Grand Duke, and Little Brother Rong, telling them to come back early to prepare, and to come to the front hall tomorrow to receive the decree. Rong Xiangzhi also immediately rushed to her mother’s side, and the mother-daughter duo had some fun together.

Rong Xiangzhi was grateful to her mother: ”If it wasn’t for my mother planning for me, how could I have had the blessing of being a royal concubine. When my daughter arrives at the royal residence, she will definitely pour in the royal family’s efforts to honor her mother.”

“Good child, what is this talk about honoring or not honoring? Who made you my good boy? For you ah, I dare to kill people!” Liu laughs, but these words startle Rong Xiangzhi: “What nonsense are you saying, mother?”

Liu laughs even louder, “Well, mother jokes.”
