Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 97 Undercurrent
With the consent of the emperor, Cheng Haoran left the palace ahead of time with the late Cheng Yingying.

The others returned to Guanglu Hall, and the imperial banquet continued.

"Father," the crown prince got up, and said solemnly, "The king of war has made great achievements in protecting the country, and my subjects should offer a cup to the king of war to express their respect for the king's loyalty to the country, regardless of rewards."

The emperor nodded, "The ability of the king of war is indeed worth learning from your brothers. Go."

"The minister is only fulfilling the responsibilities of a courtier. Only by being loved by the emperor can he display his ambitions. If the prince wants to toast, he must first toast the emperor." Mo Zhanhua politely refused.

The prince ate the closed door, his face was more or less unnatural.

The emperor laughed, "Ai Qing doesn't have to be modest. I, Qi Er and Ai Qing have done this cup of wine together. Zi said, the task is heavy and the road is long. Qi Er is the crown prince, and you are the pillar of the country. In the future, the two of you will not care about each other." It’s the same heart and one mind.”

"The minister obeys the order." Mo Zhanhua said.

"My son would like to follow the teachings of the emperor." The prince replied.

"All sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two sat back on their seats as if nothing had happened, but the emperor's words were not hard to remind people of the battle between the prince and the war king, and many malicious eyes fell on Feng Qingyao.Sitting beside Feng Xiang and his wife, she hides her usual cleverness, and now she looks elegant and gentle.Like an orchid blooming in the depths of a quiet courtyard, it exudes a delicate fragrance alone.

Mo Zhanhua's inadvertent eyes fell on her.

There is a kind of woman, even if she is silent, she can't block the radiance that radiates from her body, which is dazzling.

Feng Qingyaoge stood behind Concubine De, seeing Mo Zhanhua not leaving Feng Qingyao's eyes, she was so jealous that she was dying.With one hand, the silk handkerchief in his hand was almost broken.

"Qingge—" Concubine De asked her not to answer many times, she turned her head in wonder.

It didn't matter, and was taken aback by Feng Qingge's gritted teeth.

"Cough, cough—" She intentionally coughed a few times, wanting to remind Feng Qingge, not wanting to call Feng Qingge back, but instead provoke the Queen's ridicule, "If Sister De Concubine is not feeling well, please come back sooner." Resting in the palace, so as not to spoil everyone's interest here."

Concubine De was choked, and laughed dryly, "Thank you Queen for reminding, my sister suddenly felt that her throat was a little dry, drink some water and it will be fine."

The queen ignored Concubine De, but looked at Feng Qingyao kindly, "Qingyao, I saw you last time on the Empress Dowager's birthday, and I liked it very much, so the people in the palace invited you How many times, how come to visit Ben Gong every time?"

Feng Qingyao replied obediently: "The empress loves her, and Qingyao is flattered. It's just that Qingyao was ill a while ago, so she didn't dare to drag her sick body to disturb the empress."

"Oh, may I ask the imperial physician to take a look at it for you?"

"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. Qingyao has seen the doctor, and she is fine now."

"That's fine."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, the second prince, who was sitting next to the prince, stood up and bowed to Prime Minister Feng, "My lord, the relief of the disaster in Yangzhou is going so smoothly thanks to your guidance. This glass of wine, Xiao Wang respects my lord, do it first and then respect."

Before Xiang Feng could speak, he picked up the cup and drank it.

Prime Minister Feng had no choice but to get up, and greeted: "The old minister just raised a few points. It is the Second Highness's wise plan that made the progress so smooth. The second highness's words, let the old minister take the credit for nothing."

A few seemingly flattering words are actually hidden secrets.

The second prince went to Yangzhou to deal with the drought before, and before leaving, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for advice, and Prime Minister Feng also gave a few words of advice.It was a trivial matter, not important, but when it was brought up in front of everyone, it became a private friendship between him and the prime minister.

The prince was naturally dissatisfied and waited for an opportunity to reverse the situation.

All of a sudden, gunpowder smoke was everywhere in the hall, and an undercurrent surged.
