Chapter 638: Feng Zhaolian is Coming >
ip considerably. But the longing in her eyes was undeniable. 。Mrs. Jiang was a kind and understanding person, so naturally she wouldn't cut off mid-sentence. 。Then she patted Ye Wen's hand and said,...Wu immediately went to take care of it, and someone soon brought over the palace maidservant who was staying at the palace. 。The palace maid entered the inner hall and knelt before Quan Qingcheng, reporting in detail about Zhuai'er's behavior at the guest quarters. After finishing, she concluded: "Miss Zhuai'er truly lives up to being the maidservant of the Empress Dowager. She is truly bringing honor to our Northern Qi." 。“ He let out a sigh of relief. It was good enough that he hadn't lost out.” 。Let's take a look at that palace maid. She waved her hand and said, "Go back!" The palace maid exited the Chengguang Hall. Wu Fei looked at Quan Qingcheng's thoughtful expression and suddenly felt a surge in her heart. "Your Majesty, are you..." Are you thinking something about Miss Zhuai Just by looking at you, it's clear that you have thoughts!Quan Qingcheng was startled, then shook his head. "I don't have any thoughts about Miss Zhuai." 。"Huh" Wu Fu was puzzled, "No, no thoughts" That's impossible! Whether it was their usual interactions or the emperor's attitude this time, it was clearly that he had a fondness for Zhuier. How could he still deny it He thought about it for a moment, and seemed to understand something, so he continued, "Isn't the emperor worried about Miss Zhuier's status That makes sense, Miss Zhuier is a slave, even if she enters the palace, she probably won't be given a high position." 。However, this isn't a particularly difficult matter either. After all, she is the Imperial Empress's handmaiden, much like the Countess of Quanzhou Ji. Although Ji Nu is also a servant, throughout the entire empire, besides the Emperor and the Empress, who dares to truly treat Ji Nu as a mere servant
The same goes for Miss Zhuai'er. She serves by the Empress's side; her status differs immensely from that of other servants.
The Empress treats the Emperor so well. If the Emperor truly had this thought, he could go with the Empress. At that time, he could easily raise Duier's status, wouldn't it be a simple matter 。"Your Majesty, Miss Zhuai'er is a good girl. If you truly have thoughts for her, this old servant can help you." 。" Quan Qingcheng glanced at him, wanting to speak but holding back. 。"Perhaps we should think about it again. I've thought of another reason: 'Is she afraid Empress Dowager Yu won't agree Your Majesty, please rest assured on this matter. The Empress Dowager has already spoken on this. As long as someone stands by the side of your Majesty and the Empress, no matter which family's daughter they are, Your Majesty can feel free to marry her." 。Even if she were a maidservant to the Empress, in the future, she would surely become a Consort of Imperial Favor. 。"Just a Noble Consort" Quan Qingcheng smiled bitterly, "If it were just a Noble Consort, there would definitely be an Empress above her..." 。“Your Majesty wouldn’t want her to be Empress, would you” Wu Fu was taken aback. “Your Majesty, please reconsider. It’s not that I have any prejudice against Miss Zhuai, but the one who becomes Empress must be a role model among women, both in terms of family background and personal qualities. Only then can she command respect and be a virtuous mother to the nation.” 。
The little girl was still... lacking a bit here.
"Could the royal family be pleased" Quan Qingcheng shrugged. "If she were empress, there would still be three palaces and six courtyards, five concubines and eight court ladies beneath her." 。I am the Emperor, I cannot escape the ancestral rules and regulations, nor can I cut off the incense of the powerful families. 。Succession has always been paramount for the royal family. If my descendants are few, I wouldn't mind not having the face to see our ancestors in the afterlife. I just fear that while I'm alive, the officials will constantly criticize me, and never let me live in peace. 。If one cannot provide her with a stable life after marriage, it is better not to marry her. 。He lowered his head, fell silent for a moment, then continued to Wu Fei: "Once I heard it from Zhu'er. She said that Sister and the Emperor had made an agreement when they promised each other for life. No matter what happens now or in the future, there will only be Sister by the Emperor’s side. He will never take another wife.” 。Even after his elder sister's lifespan had ended and she was gone, he would still continue to live alone. 。In his life, besides his sister, no other woman would ever appear. This is what it means to truly love, this is what true love is. 。As he spoke, his eyes shone with envy. 。 "Envy quickly turned into resignation, "I think, if you truly like a girl, you should do it like the Emperor and elder sister, that's what it means to not regret this life." 。It's a pity that I'm an emperor, destined to never have the opportunity to fulfill such a unique and special love. So I shouldn't hurt this girl any further, she deserves to find someone better, someone who will love only her for their entire life. 。He arrived here and never left, silently flipping through a leaflet. He looked for a long time but did not turn a single page. 。Wu Fu also sighed in his heart, he was an eunuch, having lost the qualification to marry, but that didn't mean he had no feelings. 。He felt he could understand the helplessness and bitterness of this young emperor, just like the late emperor often said in the last six months: Although I have three palaces and six courtyards, if you ask me which one I really like, it's that none of them are particularly liked. 。The woman I liked best, I did not marry her because I was afraid of hurting her, afraid that she would waste her life in this vast harem. 。For the woman I truly loved, I gave her a generous dowry and sent her off to marry another. As I watched her become a wife, my heart ached with bittersweet emotions. 。Later in life, she had many grandchildren. Her husband never took any other wives. 。When the former emperor spoke these words, a smile graced his face. Although there was a hint of regret, he was deeply content. 。Back then, Wu Fei hadn't really understood. But now, hearing this young emperor say the same thing, he suddenly understood. 。
So what they mean is, if you like someone, you should only want that person for your whole life, and not want anyone else. That's what it means to truly like someone.
If you're destined not to be as powerful as an Emperor, then let go of that girl from the very beginning. 。The air in the Chengguang Hall was heavy and oppressive. Quan Qingcheng remained silent, and Wu Fu dared not utter a word, nor even breathe too heavily. 。Gradually, Wu Fu understood what Quan Qingcheng had said at Yuhuage before: it's easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple. 。It's really like that when you think about it. Back when I was serving the previous emperor, this kind of atmosphere was perfectly normal. Almost every day would have several hours like this. 。Since I began serving this young emperor, that kind of atmosphere is rarely seen again. 。Firstly, because the Emperor was young and hadn't had so many worries yet. 。Secondly, I was also influenced by the joyful atmosphere created by Night Four Sister and her friends. The joy of being with them far outweighs any worries. 。So this sudden return to the previous atmosphere was a bit much for Wu Fei. 。Just when he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, a eunuch came in from outside, knelt down on the floor, and pushed the name tag in his hand forward: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Guiyue will arrive in Beijing tomorrow!" Wu Fei took the note, waved to dismiss the eunuch, and then passed it to Quan Qingcheng. Finally, he could speak again: “There was a report beforehand that Guiyue had sent another envoy to our side, aiming to deliver compensation for New Year's Eve. I wonder what kind of person this envoy is, whether he is more sensible than the last one.” 。“ Quan Qingcheng was looking at the post, glanced at it twice and then smiled. 。The atmosphere in the Chengguang Hall instantly became lively again — "This time it's definitely reliable. It's Princess Zhaolian herself who came, she only brought her attendants and didn't have any other ministers accompanying her" 。" Oh, Princess Zhaolian is here That's great! Princess Zhaolian has a lively personality and gets along well with our Empress. She'll surely make the Empress happy." 。Your Majesty, look here, this is the contrast. When Lady Guiyue came to visit, she sent a letter to Lin'an as soon as she left her home. She even sent another one along the way to let us know where she was. Now that she is almost at the capital, she has come again to send an invitation. Tomorrow, she will enter the capital. 。This is what it means to be a considerate and thorough neighbor, attending to all the details. This is what it means to be a true neighbor. 。Compared to the Suyuan nation and Guiyue nation, it's not even a match. 。" Yes, what Suyuan country has is called..." 。"However, they're quite unlucky. One Wen Yanjie already tormented them thoroughly, and now there's another return of the Moonlit Princess... Hmph, whether they can even live to walk out of Lin'an is really uncertain!"
At that time, Ye Wenyan, who had already returned to her own courtyard, was holding a name card for Feng Zhaolian while looking at it and laughing. She also said to Zhuier, who was sitting beside her eating snacks, "Is this Feng Zhaolian timed perfectly How did she know about the banquet in Yanhuagong She arrived on the day of the banquet without needing any special preparations..." 。"
Since they were taken out of the General's Mansion after being connected, until they were kidnapped to the Guest House Palace, they haven't had a single meal.
" 。The cook was just finishing up in the kitchen, she carried a plate of snacks over to tide her over. 。"Hearing this, Zhao Lian County's main consort was delighted, "Sister, in my opinion, she didn't come here on the day of the palace banquet. She probably came on the day when Su Yuan was...n't look good if he saw this. 。 。But the Suyuan people are not good, they have bad intentions and will say hurtful things. 。Feng Zhaolian laughed, “Your Majesty the Empress rest assured, my relations...
