The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 112 Blessing bell, peerless elegance
After completing a series of blessing rituals, the priest danced around and approached the queen mother step by step, and finally came to the queen mother, put one hand on his heart, and handed the bamboo tube to the queen mother with the other hand, asking the queen mother to go and pray to heaven The weather in Ningguo is favorable and the grains are plentiful.

Accompanied by several court ladies and Feng Xihe, the Queen Mother walked to the center of the altar.She climbed far, and like the priest just now, she grabbed a handful of millet gracefully and calmly, threw it up, then dipped her jade fingers in the water in the bamboo tube, and sprinkled it in the direction of the people.

After she finished, Emperor Changde and his ministers did the same.

Emperor Changde struck while the iron was hot, and after the Queen Mother prayed to God, he walked slowly and made a loud promise to the people that in the days to come, the imperial court would slowly rebuild a home for the people in the disaster-stricken areas.

During the whole process, the common people were full of enthusiasm. They looked up at the Queen Mother and Emperor Chang De, and shouted "A thousand years old Queen Mother, long live Your Majesty."

Most of the resentment caused by the snowstorm earlier has dissipated at this moment.

After the priest uttered the last Sanskrit sentence, the blessing ceremony came to an end.

The incense in the bronze censer seemed to be burnt out, and immediately after that, some palace people added a lot of spices to the censer one after another.

At this time, Emperor Changde's gaze swept over the princes with hidden expectations, and when they landed on Gu Jinnian, Gu Jinnian walked out confidently, cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son also wants to benefit the people of my dynasty, and wants Bring them some comfort."

Concubine De was beside Emperor Changde, showing a gratified smile, feeling that her son was finally promising.

Emperor Changde smiled and asked, "What did you bring for them?"

"Father, please wait a moment." After Gu Jinnian finished speaking, he proudly sent someone to fetch boxes full of jewels and jades.

"Father, my son is willing to donate his property to the people in the disaster-stricken areas."

Looking at the box full of shiny jewels and jade, Emperor Changde's eyes gradually darkened, and the disappointment on his face became more and more intense.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine De called her nervously.

"Jinnian, you should keep these for yourself." Emperor Changde sighed softly.

If Gu Jinnian hadn't experienced the snow disaster, it would be icing on the cake if he donated these.

However, after the disaster-stricken area experienced a catastrophe, the food harvest was in short supply, all industries withered, and the gold and silver mountains of a house were no more than a sesame seed cake.If the gold and silver were sent directly, I am afraid that it will attract even greater complaints.

Looking at Emperor Changde's expression, Gu Jinnian felt something was wrong, but Yun Changyi told him this method.It turned out that his grandfather asked him to confiscate his property as disaster relief funds.But Yun Changyi said that it would be more convincing for the people to see the most direct, so he did so.

At this moment, Gu Jinnian was very puzzled, why Emperor Changde was upset, he secretly comforted himself, this must be his illusion, his Changyi would not lie to him.His father must be tired.

Thinking so, Gu Jinnian stepped back to the side.

After a while, Emperor Changde turned his eyes to Gu Jincheng again, with the same anticipation in his eyes.

"Jincheng, what about you?"

"Father, my servants are useless. I can't think of a solution to the root cause. I can only send people to other counties and counties in Ningguo, so that the local people can write the Wanmin Letter and send common wishes to the disaster-stricken areas." Gu Jincheng cupped his hands slightly, and immediately , someone moved a huge scroll, and slowly unfolded the scroll in front of everyone.

I saw that the plain white scrolls were densely written with prayers written by people from all over the country. Some people were illiterate and were taught to write stroke by stroke, so the fonts were crooked.

However, it is such a simple and plain Manmin Book that suits Emperor Changde's wishes.

Emperor Changde's eyes were slightly focused, and the haze on his face had dissipated. Immediately, he ordered: "Send this book of Wanmin to the disaster area as soon as possible."

Seeing Emperor Changde like this, everyone already knew that he was satisfied with Gu Jincheng.They all felt that although the second prince didn't have any great talents, he was better than being sincere.

Feng Xihe watched silently, thinking, Gu Jincheng did this not because of sincerity, but because he would neither offend Emperor Changde nor be too sharp and arouse Emperor Changde's suspicion.

After getting along with her in the previous life, she clearly knew how deep Gu Jincheng was hiding. In the royal family, anyone who threatened him would be pulled out by him in the dark. In addition, Gu Jinnian was eaten to death by Yun Changyi. The former prince Gu Jinyuan, who was talented and intelligent back then, has turned into a solitary soul. It will be a breeze for him to win among the many princes in a short time.

As long as there is no more Gu Shiyin, then the position of the Ninth Five-Year Master he wants will be within his reach.

When everyone applauded Gu Jincheng, Emperor Changde asked several other princes. Although the other princes also showed a little sincerity, some even offered good ideas provided by their followers.However, in the eyes of others, they are no longer comparable to Gu Jincheng.

About two quarters of an hour later, the queen mother smiled slightly, tilted her head, and said to Feng Xihe, "Xihe, you and Xiaosheng, Xiaomin and the others go down together to send blessing bells for the common people."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being surprised. It was already a great grace for the Queen Mother to let Feng Xihe be with her at such an important moment.Now, the Queen Mother actually wants her to send blessing bells with several princesses of the royal family.

Feng Xihe lowered his eyes knowingly and replied: "Xihe obeys orders."

She understood that what the Queen Mother likes is to be well-behaved and obedient, and not to spend too much time on it.

Her docile appearance really pleased the Empress Dowager, who patted her palm and said with a smile: "Go, don't let Aijia down."

"promise."

The palace people took off the golden bells on the red thread one by one, put them on a gold-painted lacquer plate, and served them to Feng Xi and the other princesses.

The aloes incense in the bronze censer burned more and more intensely, which also caused the light fragrance on Feng Xi and his clothes to gradually spread, making everyone involuntarily turn their eyes to her.

Feng Xihe straightened his back, held his head high, and walked into the crowd gracefully and dignifiedly.

Her demeanor was so flawless that no one could pick out any flaws. Concubine Zhao's eyes turned red when she looked at her. When will Feng Xi and this ugly monster overwhelm her?

Concubine Zhao's heart was full of resentment, and she kept slashing Feng Xihe with her eyes. Then, she turned her eyes and saw Gu Jinnian who was also gouging Feng Xihe with her eyes.

So, Concubine Zhao changed her mind, quickly embraced her beloved pet, walked to Gu Jinnian's side and said, "Your Highness, Third Prince, I don't want to see that ugly monster earn his reputation back, what about you?"

"I really hate this ugly monster." Gu Jinnian nodded angrily, and said, "Empress, if you have any thoughts, you can tell me directly."

Concubine Zhao was relieved, and said: "Feng Xihe's face is covered with red spots, and she is extremely ugly. Now, she is covered with a veil to hide her ugliness, and the common people will be deceived by her illusion. So, you put her tear off her veil, and let everyone see her ugly face, then she might not have the face to go out to meet people in the future."

When Gu Jinnian heard it, he felt it made sense.

Although he felt that Feng Xihe's face was thicker than the bark of a tree, and it was probably impossible that he would not be able to go out in the future.However, making Feng Xihe embarrassing in front of the people in the whole city is always a good opportunity to avenge Yun Changyi.

"Your Highness, Third Prince, please don't let me and Anle County Lord down." Concubine Zhao and Gu Jinnian reached a tacit understanding, and Concubine Zhao put all her hopes on Gu Jinnian.

Gu Jinnian quickly caught up with Feng Xihe, and after standing still under a nan tree a few feet away from her, he glanced at her arrogantly, and then, when no one realized it, he threw his sleeves One of the silver wires hanging from a hook was thrown towards Feng Xihe.

As he expected, the veil was taken away, revealing Feng Xihe's entire face in front of everyone.

"Wow--"

The atmosphere froze, and everyone stared at Feng Xihe in dumbfounded, eyes full of amazement and envy.

Gu Jinnian was waiting for the wonderful scene where everyone showed disgust towards Feng Xihe, and Feng Xihe had to hide to hide his ugliness, but suddenly, something felt wrong.

Why did everyone's reaction go against what he had imagined?
Gu Jinnian had no choice but to reluctantly look at Feng Xihe again, and he was shocked when he saw it.

I saw that the skin of the girl in front of me was better than snow, like a soul made of jade bones.A pair of watery eyes looked forward to shine, and the moment she looked back, she suddenly smiled. This smile, like the sunset glow in the sky, was charming and dazzling, and everyone was fascinated.

And she stood quietly, as if combined with the light smoke and evening mist behind her to form a beautiful picture scroll, so people didn't want to disturb her, only dared to watch quietly.

"You... are you Miss Feng?" Some people in the crowd began to ask questions. In their memory, Feng Xihe was an ugly shrew with a surly personality. girl.

Feng Xihe remained silent, drooping her eyelashes slightly, her slender eyelashes trembled, she was never a soft and chaste woman, but at this moment, she was even more breathtaking than a lady from a famous family.

The crowd couldn't bear to ask any more questions, and they believed in their hearts that if it wasn't for Feng Xi and himself, who would dare to rush to accompany the Queen Mother to pray for blessings, that would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

It seems that the rumors are not credible.However, what happened to the third prince's refusal to marry?

The people who were about to receive the blessing bell turned their gazes to Gu Jinnian, and Mr. Wang Sun, who once turned his stomach when he heard Feng Xihe's name, also shifted their gazes to Gu Jinnian. Other people who didn't know why also looked at Gu Jinnian.

All the eyes converged into one sentence, Gu Jinnian, you have blind eyes!

Ruan Zhaoming was stunned, he didn't even know that his daughter had recovered her appearance.

Gu Jinnian was so ashamed that she wanted to find a piece of cloth to cover her face. Concubine Zhao was so angry that she unconsciously pinched the neck of the Persian cat. The Persian cat wailed in pain and jumped down from her arms.

Emperor Changde glared at her angrily when he heard the meowing of the cat, and Concubine Zhao asked the maid to bring the cat back in embarrassment.

"Xihe, your face?" The queen mother was very puzzled, she had seen Feng Xihe's appearance with red spots before, why is it completely changed now.
