Donggong Zhangjiao

Newbie?

Fang Yun couldn't help feeling somewhat displeased.

It's not because she's jealous, but, who would want more people to come in and share her favor? It's not good for her status.

I just thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it out of my mouth, I just frowned.

"Why are people being added again now? I remember that this year is less than three years old."

The palace drafts every three years, not only for the emperor, but also for the royal family members.

Pei Yao took a sip of his tea, and the smile on his face faded a bit, and he said in a deep voice.

"It's still the Queen's meaning. It means that the king and Dun Wang have been crowned, and there should be more people in the backyard. There are few female relatives here. Adding some together will also benefit the heirs. The emperor naturally agreed."

Now that Prime Minister Li was exiled, Empress Li fell ill, Emperor Chengjing was also annoyed by the unrest over the position of Minister of the Household Department, so naturally he nodded directly to such trivial matters.

"So, I'm afraid the people selected this time are like Feng Shi." Fang Yun said.

"It's a great opportunity, how could she let it go."

A trace of disgust flashed in Pei Yao's eyes.

Indeed.

Empress Li is even more difficult than her father, Prime Minister Li.

"Forget it, the soldiers are coming to block, but Gu wants to see how many tricks she can do." Pei Yao said coldly.

Seeing his displeasure, Fang Yun suppressed his curiosity and did not continue this topic.

Instead, he said, "I heard that Prime Minister Li sentenced him to exile, but don't you know he's on his way now?"

"It is said that he is exiled, so he may not go there. Now he is lying at home because he is sick. The emperor said that he has made meritorious deeds in the past, so he is allowed to go after recovering from his illness." Pei Yao sneered.

This is blatantly partial.

But Li Mu was hit by this, and he is getting older, even if he is not exiled, this illness will probably kill most of his life, and it is not uncommon for him to die just like that.

So Pei Yao didn't hold on to this, but forced Emperor Chengjing to deal with it immediately.

Fang Yun nodded when he heard the words, "Let him go, he will have his own harvest, Your Highness, why don't you try this dessert, this is specially made by Qingrong to coax my concubine to take medicine, it's a bit sweet, but not greasy."

As he spoke, he pushed the plate at hand forward.

Pei Yao actually doesn't like sweets, but he ate a piece for the sake of saving face.

"Why is this new medicine so bitter?"

"Isn't it? But good medicine tastes bitter."

Fang Yun acted helplessly, then smiled sweetly, and said in a rather flattering manner.

"This medicine is His Highness's will, no matter how miserable I am, I will drink the medicine."

Seeing her deliberate little appearance, Pei Yao shook his head and chuckled.

"Counting you is the best at coaxing people."

"I don't have it." Fang Jun's eyebrows curved, "Speaking of which, I recently made a few sachets, and put refreshing fragrance pills in them according to the imperial doctor's prescription. Your Highness heard about it. See if you like it or not."

As he spoke, he beckoned the servant girl to come in.

Soon, an exquisite sachet was handed over to Pei Yao.

Pei Yao picked it up and sniffed it, and tied it directly on his body in a very face-saving manner.

"You are the most careful person in the backyard. Every time I feel restless, I want to come to your place to sit and sit."

Sitting up until now, how could Pei Yao not feel that Fang Yun's every step was making him happy.

It is a lie to say that my heart is not warm.

In particular, Fang Yun was clever, he didn't ask too many questions, he just observed his words and did this silently.

This is very useful to Pei Yao.

Fang Jun pursed his lips and smiled, "It's my concubine's blessing to be able to relieve His Highness's worries."

"Okay, I still have something to do, I'll come see you the next day." Pei Yao smiled and stood up.

After walking around for a while, the mood is almost relieved, and it's time to go back to deal with government affairs.

Fang Yun didn't feel much about knowing Yuhua himself, it was just a matter of his duty.

So he sent the person out gently and obediently.

But turned around and went back to the house, leaving Qing Rong alone.

"Auntie Qiao and Auntie Rong haven't heard from me these days. You should take the initiative to contact them and ask about what I explained earlier. In addition, Ci'en will also ask her about her wishes at the end."

"Yes."

Qing Rong nodded, and silently backed out.

evening.

In a dilapidated courtyard house in the suburbs of Beijing, the little maid briskly pushed open the courtyard door, entered the courtyard, quickly locked the door, and then quickly stepped into the room to the south.

As soon as he got closer, he heard a woman coughing violently in the room, and a young girl's anxious and worried voice.

"Mother, be careful, come, drink some hot water."

"Ma'am, girl."

The little maid entered the room and hurriedly poured a cup of warm water from the small stove and handed it over.

The young girl looked at Joy, who was only 16 years old, and her beautiful face was full of worry. Now she took the water and carefully fed it to the woman who was half leaning on the pillow on the couch.

The woman's face was haggard, her eyes were cloudy, and her hair was already graying. Just by looking at it, she could tell she was someone who had been ill for a long time.

If the girl hadn't called her mother, others might think she was a grandmother.

After drinking the water, the woman lay down weakly, the girl glanced at the little servant girl, immediately tucked the quilt into the woman, and slowly led the servant girl out of the room.

"What news?" the girl asked.

The little maid pursed her lips, "In the East Palace, Fang Liangdi said, please think about it again, girl, she won't force girl to do this."

It turned out that this girl was Fang Ci'en, the younger sister of Fang Jun's side branch.

"I don't have a chance to think about it." Fang Ci'en smiled wryly, but her eyes were full of coldness and hatred, "Even if she didn't pick me, the clan has already sent someone to deliver the news, and it's likely that she chose me as a helpless person." I rely on the orphan girl to go to the Ming Palace to be favored, rather than being treated as a chess piece by them, I would rather cooperate with Fang Liangdi."

Speaking of the clan, Fang Ci'en's hand holding the veil became tighter and tighter.

Back then, her family was also good. Although his father was not a prominent official again, he still cared about the family's prosperity.

Later, my elder brother also entered high school and entered the Imperial Academy as an official, which is also a noble way.

But all of this was ruined by Fang Hongshen.

He planned for the eldest prince, deceived and used Fang Cien's father, and then accidentally made a mistake, and needed to find a scapegoat, so Fang Hongshen threatened her brother and her future to force his father to take the blame.

For the sake of his children, Fang Ci'en's father took all the responsibility for the crime and lost his life.

But Fang Hongshen didn't keep his promise and treat their family well, instead he said that her father was a treacherous villain and that he was an act of righteousness to kill his relatives just like the rest of the family.

Fang Hong was a high-ranking official, so the people in the clan naturally spoke to him.

Later, Fang Ci'en's elder brother couldn't bear the anger, and wanted to expose Fang Hongshen's crimes, but Fang Hongshen planned to kill him.

It is said that he was robbed by bandits and died without a whole body.

Because of this, Fang Ci'en's mother went blind from crying and couldn't afford to fall ill.

When other members of the clan saw that their family had no man to stand up for it, they forcibly occupied their family property and drove their mother and son here.

If it wasn't for Qiao'er, the maid who grew up with her, who was willing to serve her, it would have been even more difficult for Fang Ci'en to take care of her sick mother alone.

With such hatred, when Fang Yun contacted her for the first time, she was already determined to go this way.

Solid pet, pawn.

Fang Ci'en clenched her fists tightly. She and Fang Yun are the same kind of people who can't help themselves. Since this is the case, she has to go all out to trample all the people who bullied her in the past!
