Fortune Princess

Chapter 105 Concealment
After Xiao Qi went back to the palace, he drafted an imperial decree and promulgated it to choose concubines for the prince and the prince who had reached the age of 16.For a while, the government and the opposition were ready to move, and the ministers who had daughters of the right age at home all tried to find painters for their daughters and younger sisters.

You must know that the current crown princess will be the future queen. Even if she is not favored by the crown prince, being a side concubine or concubine is still a noble status. helpful.

Since it is the marriage of the princes, the queen mother is too old to worry about it.The noble concubine is in charge of the affairs of the harem, so naturally she has to handle it herself.I found someone to calculate the date, and it was set on the fifteenth day of next month.During this period, the noble ladies who meet the requirements can send their portraits to the palace together with their birth date, and they will be recorded in a book, which is convenient for the empress dowager and the emperor to read.

The busy days passed quickly, Xiao Yichen had already taken the antidote after poisoning himself, and he just cooperated with the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician to recover.Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Yichen allowed himself to "recover", and the hospital collectively heaved a sigh of relief.

The Empress Dowager was very happy about choosing a concubine for Xiao Yichen. Seeing that her Chen'er was already eighteen, not to mention her children, there was not even a woman in charge of the Prince's Mansion, so naturally she was worried about it as an imperial grandmother.The noble concubine has a prince herself, so it is conceivable how much she cares about Chen'er's affairs. The queen mother is always worried, and because she seldom deals with those noble women, she has no idea. She is afraid that if Chen'er chooses a woman with bad conduct , wouldn't it hurt Chen'er, after much deliberation, it's better to discuss it with Fu Qingyu.

Because the eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager said that the Empress Dowager had something to ask, Fu Qingyu did not bring Jingyi when she entered the palace, and let her stay in the Hou Mansion by herself.

"Qingyu pays homage to the Empress Dowager." Yingying bowed, and Fu Qingyu was helped up by the Empress Dowager herself before she could finish her salute.

"Why are you being so polite to me? These red tapes in the palace are for others. There is no need to do this when there are no outsiders between us."

Fu Qingyu felt warm in her heart, so she complied naturally, and supported the queen mother to sit with her hands behind her back, before asking: "I don't know why the queen mother called Qingyu to come?"

The Empress Dowager was a little worried, she took Fu Qingyu's hand and said: "The emperor wants to choose a concubine for Chen'er, and leave this matter to the noble concubine. You also know the situation of Chen'er in the palace, so I am worried that the noble concubine will not be careful."

"Even if the imperial concubine wants to make trouble secretly, don't you and the emperor still have to do it? The selected woman must go through the hands of you and the emperor before the candidate can be decided." Although I don't know the process of the prince's concubine selection, I can think of the final result. It is decided that there are no noble concubines, as long as the queen mother and the emperor are in good hands, I believe Chen'er will have a good marriage, at least the family background will help Chen'er ascend the throne.

"That being said, I'm still at ease. Chen'er's concubine is different from the past. The national teacher once said that a woman with a phoenix's life should be found as the concubine, so that she can be good to Chen'er and Wei." The queen mother He told Fu Qingyu about the divination by the national teacher after praying for rain that year.

Fu Qingyu didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, and he didn't lie. After all, it was related to the fate of the Wei Dynasty, so he just asked suspiciously: "What is a daughter with a phoenix's fate?"

The queen mother sighed: "I don't know either. The national teacher only said a date of birth. I remember it was a girl who was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the Gengwu year. No one knows what counts as the life of a phoenix."

Hearing the birth date, Fu Qingyu's heart sank. When she first entered the palace, she talked to the Queen Mother and asked about Jing Yi's age. She once said that she was born on the sixth day of June in the Gengwu Year, and Huo Ting also knew about it. of.this……

She didn't know there was such a statement at the time, so she didn't deliberately conceal Jing Yi's birth date.

As soon as I thought of this, I heard the Empress Dowager say: "Hey? Speaking of which, you once said that Jing Yi seemed to be born on the sixth day of June. What a coincidence, but it's a pity that Jing Yi is a man. If it is a woman, it can be said to be more intimate. That's true." Good morning." The Empress Dowager smiled and patted the back of Fu Qingyu's hand, expressing her regret.

"Yeah..." Fu Qingyu was apprehensive as he catered to the queen mother, what he said next when he accompanied the queen mother, Fu Qingyu couldn't remember clearly, when she regained consciousness, she had already returned to the Hou Mansion with her servants.

"Mom, you're back! Come and see, there are a lot of new fish in this lake, all of them are fat and big, waiting for me to catch them and roast them." Jing Yi stood by the lake with his trouser legs and cuffs rolled up. When catching fish, the red-tailed carp inside was fat and fat, and was running around in panic because of Jing Yi's claws.

Seeing Jing Yi who was carefree and wantonly laughing, Fu Qingyu's heart was even heavier. Her Jing Yi should be like this. If her daughter's body is discovered, she will definitely participate in the selection of the crown princess. Because of a birth date, it is really sad that I will die in the royal family.

So many aristocratic families are gearing up, wishing to send their daughters to the royal family and become noble people, but that position is nothing to Fu Qingyu.What a proud woman the first empress was, but she was still besieged in the harem in the end, and had to see her husband's other women every day. Not only that, but she also generously persuaded the emperor to share the rain and dew, and she couldn't have the slightest bit of jealousy.

The morals of the world are unfair to women, and the queen is the most embarrassing status for a woman. The wife of an ordinary wealthy family can handle the concubine's house openly, and the concubine can buy and sell, let alone sell, even if she is killed, no one dares to say half No word.

But the queen can't do it. The queen wants to be the mother of the world and set an example for women.It is not advisable to be jealous and resentful. Only by suppressing oneself and thinking of the emperor everywhere can one be competent.

She couldn't bear Jing Yi to live such a life in the future, no matter how good Xiao Yichen was, it couldn't offset the pain that Jing Yi would suffer in the future.The intrigues in the palace, how can Jing Yi's temperament bear it, not to mention the dirty methods of the underworld, it is impossible to guard against, even if Jing Yi is strong in martial arts, so what if he knows how to use medicine and poison, no emperor likes his wife so powerful, he can threaten him at any time to his life.

The high palace walls are power and imprisonment.Her Jing Yi shouldn't live like that, and she can't live like that!

Seeing Jing Yi smiling brightly in the sun, Fu Qingyu didn't have the heart to interrupt her, but cooked a few big fish she caught, grilled two, and sliced ​​the remaining one into fish fillets, seasoned with pepper Waiting for the seasoning to taste, it was made into a spicy taste, and Jing Yi's cheeks were bulging.

"Jing Yi, Mother has something to tell you." After eating and drinking, Fu Qingyu pulled Jing Yi to talk.

"Okay." Jing Yi obediently sat next to Fu Qingyu, and handed her the freshly brewed tea.

"You also know about Chen'er's choice of concubine. Mother only asked you to promise one thing. No matter what, don't let anyone know that you are a daughter. You can do it?" Never before, Fu Qing Yu looked directly into Jing Yi's eyes.
