Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 22 Wildcats (2)
Fu Ming is jealous of Fu Li in his heart. Although he has a high title, he is just an empty air, but Fu Li is a real high-ranking and powerful person. The most important thing is that he has the emperor's trust. With this alone, he is far behind. Fu Li.

But now, seeing everyone flocking around him to flatter him, Fu Li can only sit on the sidelines and drink for himself. His self-esteem has also been greatly satisfied, and he feels that his network is wider than Fu Li. These people can say a few good words in front of His Majesty, and they may not be able to go further in the future.

However, his self-satisfaction did not last long. Just as he was exchanging cups with all the nobles, Fu Zhong, the chief executive of the Jinxiang Hou Mansion, secretly gestured to him. The expression on his face I don't know whether it's surprise or joy, but it seems that I'm a little overly frightened, and I don't have the usual shrewd look at all.

Fu Ming pondered for a while, smiled and apologized to everyone, got up and walked out.

"Is there something urgent that you must come to me at this time? Didn't you see that I was accompanying the guests?" Fu Ming's tone was slightly reproachful.

"Report to Lord Hou, Your Majesty... is here." Fu Zhong's voice was trembling, so soft that it was almost inaudible, as if even saying the word "My Majesty" was a great sin.

"Who did you say is here?" Fu Ming asked again, with a look of surprise and joy, and a little panic and disbelief in his voice.

Fu Zhong pointed to the sky and nodded at Fu Ming.

Fu Ming couldn't believe it at first, and then he was ecstatic. Although he is the Marquis of Jinxiang, he is not favored, and the chances of meeting the Holy Driver are really rare. At this time, it is a great opportunity.

"Then why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and arrange a pick-up!" While talking nervously tidying up his appearance, His Majesty came to Jinxianghou's mansion in person, which was the greatest dignity for these courtiers.

Fu Zhong's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he said submissively: "But Lord Hou, His Majesty is visiting in disguise this time, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity, so I just order the old man to accompany the driver, and Lord Hou can just entertain guests in the front yard." yes."

The Eldest Master, of course, is Fu Li, Commander of Jin Yiwei.

Hearing this, Fu Ming's excitement and excitement immediately froze on his face, shame, anger, dissatisfaction, and jealousy rolled in his chest, and even his handsome face became a little distorted.

But he understands that he must not show any dissatisfaction with this matter, because this is His Majesty's intention, otherwise, he is dissatisfied with His Majesty, and he has the courage to do so.

So, he could only suppress the grievance and jealousy in his heart, forced a smile and said: "In that case, you should go and tell the elder brother to go face the saint!"

Fu Zhong went to inform Fu Li not to mention it.

When Fu Li learned that His Majesty was married, he was only a little surprised, but he didn't find it unbelievable. As His Majesty's confidant, he was more like an emperor, so he immediately got up to meet him.

After Emperor Xiande came to Jinxiang Hou's Mansion, he went directly to Fu Li's daily study without disturbing anyone.

The layout of Fu Li's study is just like his own, simple, rigorous and practical, without any arty things.But this does not mean that Fu Li has few books, the bookshelves are full of history books, military books, etc., and there are no precious flowers in the yard in front of the study, only a few plantains, a few weeping willows, and a small training ground.

When Fu Li arrived, Emperor Xian De was standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, browsing the books on the bookshelf, with a leisurely look, as if this was his own home.

Perhaps for Emperor Xian De, the whole world belonged to him, and all places were his territory.What's wrong with being in your own home?
"My humble minister Fu Li, I have met His Majesty!" Fu Li immediately knelt down to salute the emperor when he saw the emperor.

"Fu Aiqing is exempt from etiquette. This time I am leaving the palace in modest clothes, so I don't need so many etiquette."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu Li still stood up after saluting respectfully.

Emperor Xian De turned around, looked at Fu Li and said, "Fu Aiqing, shall I go out for a walk? I suddenly want to see what the place where Nanny Song has lived for 20 years is like."

"Yes." Fu Li replied without asking why His Majesty didn't summon Mrs. Song Tai.

By Emperor Xiande's side, only Yang Yong, the eunuch of Bingbi and the admiral of the East Factory, followed. The others were scattered in the dark of the Hou Mansion to protect them. scenery.

After walking for a while, a group of people came to a pavilion on a rockery. The location is high, the scenery is good, one side is facing the lake, and the wide steps lead directly to the lake. People in the pavilion can easily visit the scenery everywhere, but people outside may not be able to see the scenery in the pavilion.

Although the weather was fine today, it was a bit windy. Yang Yong was afraid that His Majesty would catch a cold, so he wanted to untie the curtain hanging on the pavilion, at least to resist the cool wind.However, it was stopped by Emperor Xiande.

"My body isn't that delicate yet. You put down the curtain to cover up the scenery. What do you think?"

Only then did Yang Yong give up, he just made up his mind, when His Majesty returned to the palace, he immediately ordered the imperial physician to diagnose His Majesty's pulse.

You know, even if the emperor sneezes, it is a big deal to them.

"Fu Aiqing is not young anymore, but who is she looking at? Tell me, I can give you a marriage." Emperor Xian De looked at Fu Li with great interest and asked.

Fu Li is also 24 or [-], not a few years younger than Emperor Xiande, there are a lot of children at the same age as him, but there is not even a woman around him, so Emperor Xiande can't help but start to care about him The event of life is coming.

Although Fu Li is the commander of Jinyiwei, he is not the kind of vicious person. His appearance is actually very fair and delicate. If he put on a Confucian robe, he must be a handsome young man, but his unsmiling style makes it hard to notice. It's just his appearance.

Hearing this, even Fu Li, who didn't change his face all year round, felt a little hot.

"Your Majesty, I did not..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard bursts of female laughter, which gradually spread over.

Emperor Xian De was a flirtatious emperor, he was immediately attracted by the woman's talking and laughing.

Emperor Xiande's favorite thing to do is to go on tour in micro-clothes, conceal his identity and have a love story with a woman in the folk like a gifted scholar and a beautiful lady, relying on his own charm to conquer those who don't, instead of relying on the status of the so-called emperor, that will make him more attractive sense of accomplishment.

And now the concubine Zhen, who is very beautiful in the palace, is the beauty Emperor Xiande met during his southern tour two years ago. Fortunately, she was also from a family of officials, so she was brought back by the emperor and has always been loved.

Don't tell the emperor what the rules and etiquette are, this is nothing to him at all.

Even if there are rules and etiquette, it is to restrain others, not the emperor.
