Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 113
King Wei wanted to save face, so he couldn't be angry when he heard this, and he felt resentful in his heart.

Let him see it today, so he will not let it go.

Xie Mingyan saw the appearance of this fourth child who would not be sympathetic to others, seeing his unfriendly eyes, his heart pounded.

"My lord, please let go of the servant girl, the servant girl is now the maid of the Lord Long Live."

Wei Wang sneered and said: "Don't use my father to oppress me! Shame on you, okay, you hide here with your father, and everything will be fine? Tell me, why is this king so unpopular? You don't want to see me now?" Tell me the truth, and this king will make you look good!"

"Why does the prince care about the little girl? The servant is a hard-working person. He can neither offend the prince, nor the clan, let alone the emperor. The only way for the servant..."

As he spoke, he raised his head and saw a figure flashing past out of the corner of his eyes, and said: "If you want to beat the prince, you can hit it. Even if the servant is beaten to death, he is still a miserable person."

"You think this king dare not dare, I..." Wei Wang stretched out his hand and wanted to hit him, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had lost his identity, and when he was hesitating, he heard a gentle voice: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?" ? Don’t stop, this is the Qianqing Palace.”

Xie Mingyan turned her eyes, and saw a handsome man with a smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze.

He looks like in his 20s, wearing a solid blue off-the-shoulder sleeveless persimmon dragon lanthanum robe, with double dragons grabbing pearls and jade rings buttoned around his waist.

Xie Mingyan's heart moved, and she thought excitedly, so this is the eldest prince Qi Wang Xiao Mingjin!
Sure enough, he is the handsome young master Zhuo Shijia!
Although it was a bit of a failure, right now, she really couldn't resist such a man.

King Qi didn't know what happened at first, but when he saw the woman in front of him raised his head, he saw a beautiful face with tears in his eyes, full of grievances, but with a stubborn look, he tried not to let the tears fall up.

It's really a beauty with tears, so pitiful, a pear blossom with spring rain.

King Qi is a master who loves fragrance and loves jade, and remembering that it was the woman who danced that day, and she looks beautiful and charming today, there are really two extremes.

He became interested in this girl, but now there is still something to do, so he said: "Fourth brother, go see Father Emperor, it's just a court lady, why should I know her as well?"

King Wei snorted, and was interrupted by King Qi, he was not interested in holding on to this matter any longer, so he said, "Okay, brother, let's go."

"My servant thanked His Royal Highness King Wei for your forgiveness, and thanked His Royal Highness King Qi for your kindness. The emperor will be receiving ministers now."

Upon hearing this, King Qi glanced at her, turned in a circle in his heart, and asked, "Young lady, there is nothing wrong with it. You have no choice but to violate the sacred order. Since the emperor is not free for the time being, fourth brother, let's go to the other side first." Please wait."

Xie Mingyan was so fascinated by his gentle and charming smile that he couldn't find his way, and immediately said in a fever: "Then, this servant will take you there."

King Wei wanted to speak, but King Qi gave him a wink, and Xie Mingyan took the two of them to the side hall to wait.

"Miss Mingyan, now you are also close to the father, and you have to take care of the father more on weekdays."

Xie Mingyan lowered her eyes and replied obediently: "The emperor is the Supreme Being of All Saints, and slaves should serve him wholeheartedly."

King Qi had a smile on his face, "When I saw the girl today, I didn't recognize that you were the one who danced that day. It turns out that the girl is also naturally beautiful, so heavy makeup is always suitable."

Mingyan's face became hot when he was told this. Among the men in the past and present, the King of Qi was the most personable, gentle as jade. Few women could resist such a handsome and affectionate gaze. Got it!

Mingyan thought of the novels she had read in her previous life, took a deep breath, and wondered how many people like King Qi!

"My lord, I'm flattered. The slaves are just doing their own job. Now that I've become a female official of the Qianqing Palace, I should serve the emperor wholeheartedly and wash away all the lead."

She raised her face halfway, with a pair of charming eyes and a proud tone, she didn't look like a cautious court lady.

King Qi's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Then I will trouble the girl."

King Wei watched from the side, and snorted: "I won't care about you as much as the elder brother speaks today."

"Thank you His Royal Highness Wei Wang for your forgiveness." Mingyan saw that it was really inconvenient for him to stay any longer, because a young eunuch had already come to send a message to let King Qi and King Wei go to see him.

After the tea money was refunded, King Wei couldn't help asking: "Brother, why are you being so polite to her? It's just a slave, what's the use of it?"

King Qi waved his hand, "You see, Father asked her to stay by his side instead of giving it to someone directly. It can be seen that this girl is a bit extraordinary. Besides, I think that since she is by Father's side, she may not be able to reveal some news. .”

After seeing Mingyan, he obviously admired him. For such a woman, it would be strange if he didn't use some masculine charm to capture her!

What's more, is he still a little interested in this woman?

"Rely on her? What secrets can she know? Gao Wugong, Zhang Yong and the others are all monkeys. Didn't you also bribe them, but you only spread some unimportant things .”

King Qi nodded. To them, the servants are just their own servants, and it would be nonsense to ask them to break the knot with an eunuch.

Although he would also instruct his eunuchs to make friends with them, hoping to get some secret information, but for Gao Wugong, an old fox, he always only accepts gifts and does nothing.

Emperor Jianwu also knew about this, but because Gao Wugong had a strict mouth, he was reused. If he didn't know how to measure, he would have been dismissed by Emperor Jianwu long ago.

Others may have passed on the news, but they have no merit and cannot get some important inside information.

"I don't know what she can do." Qi Wang said lightly: "It's just a casual move, if it works, use it."

Now his situation is not very good, he has been practicing Buddhism at home all day, and today he was called by his father, and he doesn't know why.

On the other side, Xie Mingyan returned to his room, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.

"I haven't met King Luo yet, but the princes I've met so far are already very good." Xie Mingyan thought distressedly: "Who should I choose? The one who is as gentle as jade or the one who is domineering and mighty? Or the one who is talented? Do you want to be the queen or the princess?"

She shook her head and thought for a long time: Since she has traveled through time, she wants to fall in love with the prince, otherwise what is this called Qin Chuan!

As she said that, she opened her treasured locked box, which contained the things she brought through time and space.

There is a cosmetic box, a mobile phone, and a book in it.

Pick up the book, on the cover it says "Speaking of the Twelve Emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty".

Turning to one of the pages with the bookmark, she began to look.

"It's the 15th year of Jianwu, and there are still many things happening. Tsk tsk, God let me travel through time, I can even take this with me! What a coincidence."

Xie Mingyan thought about it, feeling proud.

"Princess, be careful, don't burn yourself."

The cook asked carefully, seeing Murong Wei staring intently at the porridge in the pot, her heart felt bitter, oh my princess, can you not add trouble?

However, Murong Wei didn't notice it yet, but Xiao Mingrui suffered a lot, every time he had to taste all kinds of weird food, he was going crazy!
"It's okay, it looks almost done." Murong Wei happily served a bowl of porridge and brought it out. Usually, she never tasted what she cooked, and every time she wanted to eat it, Xiao Mingrui used various excuses to shirk it.

Thinking of this now, Murong Wei suddenly felt a little weird.

"Strange, why doesn't he let me drink it? Is there something weird in it?"

As soon as Murong Wei thought of this, she took a porcelain spoon and ate something.

As soon as she entered, her complexion changed slightly: "I did this?"

The cook saw that it was broken, and seeing the princess's face changed, she whispered: "Maybe the taste is not adjusted properly."

Murong Wei just became interested in it for a while, but she is not a fool, just in the blink of an eye, she immediately figured out the cause and effect!
No wonder he never let her eat what he made, it turned out that he was afraid of revealing his secrets!

Dare he eat this kind of thing every day?

Murong Wei's face changed again and again, and she suddenly asked: "Is it because I haven't adjusted the flavor well every time?"

The cook originally wanted to say no, but under Murong Wei's fierce gaze, she didn't dare to lie, so she said nonchalantly, "Just a little bit."

Murong Wei's face turned blue and red, she suddenly dropped the spoon in her hand, turned around and left.

When she got back into the house, she still had a grim look on her face.

Thinking of how foolishly he made food these days and let Xiao Mingrui taste it all the time, that guy really could bear it, so he didn't tell her for so many days!
Thinking of this, Murong Wei was angry, funny and moved.

She knew that Xiao Mingrui did this in order not to dampen her enthusiasm. Not to mention his own suffering, he probably almost vomited, right?
Murong Wei was depressed for a while, leaning against the window with her chin resting on her hands, wondering if she really didn't have the talent to cook?
It's really stupid to be so busy these days!

"Murong Wei, why are you so stupid!"

She knocked herself on the head speechlessly, she was really stupid, she didn't even try it, and she tacitly agreed that what she made was good.

"What's wrong with Princess?" Xiangtao asked in surprise, "Aren't you cooking food?"

Murong Wei looked back at her and asked, "Xiangtao, are the things I cook really bad?"

"Ah..." Xiangtao was taken aback, she didn't expect her to ask this question suddenly, she was caught off guard for a moment.

"Yes or no?"

"It's an idea. The servant advised you not to do anything." Xiangtao said honestly.

Murong Wei sighed, and said dejectedly: "So it's true. I really don't have the talent to make things."

She can't cheer up now, and she doesn't want to cook anymore.

How about love.

Xiangtao persuaded in a low voice: "You are the princess, why do you do it yourself? You see, you didn't do things with your hands before, isn't it good?"

Murong Wei laughed at herself: "It's true, so I'm a foodie."

Xiangtao laughed and said: "What do you do when you are a princess who has nothing to wear but stretches out his hands to eat and opens his mouth?"

Murong Wei glared at her: "Since you know, why didn't you tell me sooner? Could it be that I'm not happy to hear the truth? You've been hiding everything from me, you're so courageous, aren't you?"

Xiangtao sticks out her tongue, "I am afraid of hitting you."

Murong Wei patted her and scolded with a smile: "Okay, don't hide anything from me in the future, do you hear?"

Seeing that the princess understands the truth, Xiangtao hastily assured her.

But she was secretly glad that she finally didn't have to taste the life-threatening drink of the princess anymore!
"Where is the prince, let's not talk about it." Murong Wei's eyes flashed a sly, a little naughty: "I will tell him later."

Xiangtao felt that her neck was a little chilly, and said to herself: "Your Majesty, please ask for blessings."

She felt that every time the master showed such an expression, someone would be unlucky.

I don't know what the result will be for the prince.

Soon, Xiangtao knew the result.

It was September, the sky was high and the air was crisp, and various varieties of chrysanthemums bloomed leisurely in this garden. It coincided with the season of fragrant osmanthus and crab fat, and it was a good time for chrysanthemum appreciation feasts.

Famous chrysanthemums are the most planted in Fei Garden, such as Clawed Yellow, Yang Feizui, Green Peony, etc., all of which are famous flowers.

It coincided with the fifth prince Xiao Mingchen's birthday, Xiao Mingrui entered the palace today to pay his respects to his father, queen, mother and concubine, and by the way asked his younger brothers to treat them to Fei Garden tomorrow.

Murong Wei picked a few chrysanthemums in the garden, and Lu Shao and Qing Qiu next to them took baskets and laughed softly.

This is the West Garden, and there is a small lake in the middle of the garden. This place is originally low-lying. When the house was built, the water flow was brought together to make an artificial lake here.

In the lake, there are water pavilions and pavilions, koi swimming, and green lotus in the pond. Although it is already autumn with the fragrance of red lotus root and jade bamboo mat, it has a special charm.

After picking chrysanthemums, Murong Wei took her servant girl to the waterside pavilion in the lake. A bamboo building was built here, connected with several rooms, and there was a pavilion in the middle, which was suitable for drinking.

The three characters of Penglaizhou are written on the pavilion. Although it does not have the spirit of Penglai, it has a bit of elegance.

The maids took blue and white porcelain flower arcs and inserted chrysanthemums, arranged the decorations, and prepared for tomorrow's banquet.

Murong Wei ordered some people to prepare some bonsai and set them up, standing by the lake, feeling very uncomfortable.

In the evening, when the sky was full of red clouds, Murong Wei was leisurely feeding the fish with fish food, when she saw Xiao Mingrui approaching from a distance.

"My wife is so comfortable." Xiao Mingrui stepped into the waterside pavilion in the lake, and saw the koi scrambling for the bait, his wife was wearing a moon-white Suzhou embroidered jacket with folded branches of rhododendrons, a lotus-colored ruyi pattern pleated skirt fluttering in the wind, and her black hair was loose. She only had her arms around her, and the wind blew through her sleeves, giving her the illusion that she was about to fade away.

"Husband is back." Murong Wei greeted her with a smile, clasped her fingers together, put them on the left side of her waist, bowed her body and greeted her with an elegant manner.

Xiao Mingrui was a little dazed, why is he so polite today?

"Old husband and wife, why are you polite?" He sat down on the bamboo chair in Penglai Island, holding her hand in a funny way.

Murong Wei said angrily: "In case people see it, they will think that I don't obey the rules."

"Where did this come from?"

Murong Wei clapped her hands, Xiangtao obediently came carrying two food boxes, Xiao Luzi's mouth twitched when he saw this, he thought to himself, my lord, when will your hard life be the end of it!
I have never wronged myself like this in my life!
When Xiao Mingrui saw it, his scalp went numb, and he sighed inwardly, it's not an option to go on like this, it seems that he has to divert the lady's attention.

Murong Wei smiled softly: "Husband, this is a nourishing medicinal meal specially prepared by my concubine for you. How about you try it?"

Seeing that his expression was a little stiff, but he returned to normal after a while, she applauded secretly in her heart.

Well, as expected of her, Murong Wei's husband, with his reflexes, he's pretty amazing, right?
"Thank you, lady."

Xiao Mingrui saw that the dishes served were very delicious, and Murong Wei ate the porridge with vegetables, "My husband, you are welcome."

Xiao Mingrui saw that he couldn't evade it, so he could only taste the medicinal food in front of him.

Just after tasting it, Xiao Mingrui found that the medicinal food was very delicious. Xiao Mingrui was surprised. Could it be that the heaven heard his prayer, or did it mean that his wife suddenly became enlightened?

"Is it easy for me?" Xiao Mingrui was full of emotion in his heart, "Is this the end of all hardships?"

Xiao Mingrui was overjoyed for a while, and smiled brightly: "My lady's cooking is so good, this medicinal food is smooth and refreshing, but it has no medicinal taste, it melts in the mouth, it is really a good product."

Murong Wei said with a smile: "Really, is it much more delicious than what I made before?"

"Yes, yes..."

Speaking of general, Xiao Mingrui reacted suddenly, and saw Murong Wei lightly opened his mouth: "No wonder, I didn't do this."

"Ahem!" Xiao Mingrui almost choked, and heard a faint snicker.

Looking up, he couldn't help shrugging his shoulders when he saw the maid and eunuch, but he was suppressing a smile.

It seems that everyone knows about the game this couple plays, but no one has said anything about it.

It's not easy to watch the master embarrass himself, how can he not let people watch?
It's just that seeing that the prince is going to kill someone, all of them can only blushed and lowered their heads as hard as they could to keep from laughing.

"The cooks in Feiyuan have always been good at cooking. Of course, the lady's cooking skills are also very good."

Xiao Mingrui transferred the embarrassment mellowly and freely, Murong Wei was amused in her heart, this guy really deserves to be brought up in the palace, this mouth can really bring the dead to life!

Xiangtao saw that the princess was going to make trouble, although she really wanted to gossip and watch, but she immediately retreated politely after receiving the gaze from the princess.

The four corners of the pavilion in Penglaizhou here are hung with curtains to keep out the wind and rain. At this moment, Murong Wei got up and put down a corner of the curtain, bowed her head unhappy and did not speak.

"What's the matter, lady? Who bullied you?"

"It's you. You bullied me, so what do I say." She was about to cry, and said dejectedly: "In case people say that I have no rules, and I feed my husband bad food. Husband, just say it, right? Hate me, use this method to make me look ugly, so that outsiders can laugh at me?"

As she said that, tears like pearls flowed down one after another, making Xiao Mingrui at a loss what to do.

Women's tears can always play some good uses sometimes.

Of course, the premise is that this woman does not cry often, and she must be strong enough on weekdays. If she cries by chance, she will immediately be helpless.

"Oh, so you already know." Xiao Mingrui said with a wry smile, "How could I mean that? My little aunt, please stop saying such stupid things, you are poking my heart with a knife."

Murong Wei said dissatisfied: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Am I such an unreasonable person? Will you be angry because you told the truth? You have to hide it from me like this, but you all know it, servants I don't know how to laugh at me behind my back..."

"Didn't I want to make you happy? Ever since I went to Jiangnan, you have been frightened. When you came back, you lost weight. It's rare that you are so happy. How can I be willing to see you sad?"

Xiao Mingrui's words were very eloquent. When she heard this, she didn't want to worry too much about it. She was very sweet, and her tone suddenly eased a lot: "Then what's the matter? Look at you, you are also suffering. I didn’t fall for it either, but it’s really not interesting.”

Seeing her expression, Xiao Mingrui knew that she was not angry anymore. He hugged her into his arms and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, "Why didn't it fall? I see that you are much happier recently. For this, even if I What's the point of suffering? It can be regarded as your punishment for me, compared to my lady worrying about me, what is this?"

Murong Wei snorted and nestled against his chest, but the corners of her mouth curled up.

This can be said to have gone to her heart.

Well, it can be regarded as punishing him. Although in comparison, the punishment given to him is very light, but who made her reluctant?
It can only be said that the thunder is loud and the rain is little.

"eat first."

Xiao Mingrui let her go with some reluctance, and the husband and wife quickly finished their dinner.

"How about going to the bamboo building here? I've been studying here for the past two days, so it's a good place."

"It's up to you."

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Xiao Mingrui was a little uncomfortable for a while, it seems that he is really a bit of a masochist!

Go to the main room in the middle of the bamboo building. The ground floor is the place for receiving guests.

Looking along the window, you can see the smoky green lake, the last ray of the setting sun falls on the sky, and the water is sparkling.

The servant girl drank some hawthorn and wolfberry tea to digest her food, and while drinking, Murong Wei looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room.

Some of the calligraphy and paintings hanging here are all drawn by Xiao Mingrui himself. There are both meticulous paintings and freehand landscape paintings, all of which are full of vitality.

Finally, her eyes fell on the picture album placed on the case table.

Xiao Mingrui was going to take a bath. Murong Wei was wearing a simple loose pajamas. She picked up the picture book, opened it, her eyes widened, and she cursed: "You are shameless, you dare to hide here, just look at this kind of thing ?”

Don't look at anything else, this painter's painting style is very beautiful, the characters are lifelike, and the colors are bright, as if they are vivid on the paper.

Murong Wei turned from beginning to end, thinking wildly, when a strong masculine voice sounded beside her ears: "Hahahaha... Weier, are you watching this?"

She became angry for a moment, "You didn't put it here?"

"Young lady wants it too?" He smiled and said with a voice that was a bit unbearable, "Husband and wife Dun Lun, it's only right and proper!"

As night falls, the low-hanging bamboo curtains in the bamboo building cover the dim light.

"Huh?" She was so sleepy that she opened her eyes in a daze.

Xiao Mingrui lowered his eyes, patted her on the back, pondered for a moment and asked: "A fight is not a fight, and a fight is a fight. Have you mentioned this to anyone?"

"What?" She muttered in a daze, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm so sleepy. What are you arguing about..."

Xiao Mingrui was dumb, covered her with a quilt, and chuckled dotingly: "I'm really exhausted."

He wasn't sleepy yet, just thinking about what happened today, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

He went to the palace today, his father summoned him, and happened to meet a woman named Xie Mingyan in Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Mingrui had long forgotten what that dancer girl looked like, and didn't recognize who she was at all.

It was also the first time for Xie Mingyan to meet the legendary Luo Wang Xiao Mingrui, who was similar to what she imagined, heroic and domineering, with a unique personality charm.

When he speaks, his tone is sonorous and powerful, and his starry eyes are filled with strong confidence, which always gives people the illusion that he is looking at themselves, so they are involuntarily attracted by his topic.

He and King Qi are not the same type of people, Chunlan Qiuju, each is good at winning.

Xie Mingyan thought of all the legends about this man, and couldn't help being attracted to him. It was a kind of temperament honed on the battlefield, decisive and wise, and a soldier's temperament.

Xie Mingyan purposely introduced himself when sending the person away.

It was only at this time that Xiao Mingrui knew that she was the woman who danced that day. Although he had heard about it a long time ago, he didn't pay attention to it, and didn't care at all, so he reacted very coldly to Xie Mingyan's self-introduction.

Xie Mingyan was discouraged, but thinking about it, he still didn't know how good he was, and besides, if he was really a womanizer, she would still look down on him.

After all, this is a very infatuated person in the legend.

If he could get his love and pamper the harem alone, it would be so beautiful!
Xie Mingyan was dreaming, so she continued to introduce without being discouraged, giving full play to her acting talent, saying that she had once been favored by Empress Concubine Shu. When she was a young palace maid, she was almost beaten to death by the eunuch in charge because she was ignorant. Concubine Shu was kind, saved her.So she is very grateful to Concubine Shu.
