Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 8 Pei Xiu's Great Gift

In a daze, there were bustling voices in my ears.

Feng Jin couldn't help opening her eyes, rubbed her aching temples, and called out 'green clothes'.

Lu Yi opened the beaded curtain and came in, "Your Majesty is awake?"

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is the young masters of the harem who have come to pay their respects to Your Majesty."

boys?Face to face?

Feng Jin was a little speechless, and when she got out of the dragon bed and stood in front of the window, she was even more speechless.

In the huge courtyard, there were crowded and crowded young people with handsome complexion, at least hundreds of them.

The corner of Feng Jin's mouth twitched, "Why are there so many?"

"This is already considered a small number. There were three thousand at most."

"What about the others?"

Lu Yi's face turned pale, and under the pressure of Feng Jin's gaze, Lu Yi said cautiously, "Some disappeared, some were given away, and even more were thrown into limbo."

"Disappeared? Is it dead?"

Lu Yi trembled, seeing her reaction, Feng Jin knew the answer, his face darkened, "Did I do it?"

"No, no, it's none of His Majesty's business. It's the Lord Xiang. As long as Your Majesty likes some young master more, or praises which young master a few words, and which young master stays overnight, that young master will either disappear the next day, or He was sent away, or he was sent to the cold palace, and later on, His Majesty seldom showed his liking to the young masters, and he no longer saw any young master alone, but had fun with many people."

Feng Jin's face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "I am an emperor, but I am so incompetent!"

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. Since then, the young masters have never been missing. Your Majesty has kept at least one or two hundred people."

The comfort from the green clothes didn't make Feng Jin feel any better. She sneered, "Since you are incompetent, you shouldn't let so many people into the harem, killing people for nothing!"

She originally thought it was pitiful for Feng Jin to be controlled by Pei Xiu, but now it seems that she is very hateful.

Lu Yi looked at Feng Jin in surprise, and explained, "These young masters were sent into the palace by the Prime Minister, saying they were for His Majesty's entertainment."

Feng Jin's eyes flickered, and she understood Pei Xiu's purpose, which was nothing more than to make Feng Jin lose her mind and make it easier to control, but if the empress fell in love with someone, Pei Xiu would definitely not be happy.

People were sent by him and killed by him, but how do the common people know these inside stories?In addition, Pei Xiu deliberately let people lead the rumors, and the empress's reputation for licentiousness, brutality, bloodthirsty, and moodiness was widely spread among the people.

And in this story, Pei Xiu actually became the pillar of the country who turned the tide for the country and the people!His control of power has always been the aspiration of the people, and there are even voices among the people, demanding that the Empress Zen be placed in Peixiang!
What an irony!

She is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she has no power. None of the civil and military officials belong to her, and even the common people have no one to support her.

The road ahead is full of difficulties.

However, she will rise to the challenge!

Feng Jin glanced at those young masters, and said to Lv Yi, "Let them in."

Following Lvyi's clear cry, the young masters filed in, and the huge room was packed to the brim.

Feng Jin looked at them, most of them lowered their heads, not daring to face Feng Jin's face directly, only one person seemed to feel Feng Jin's gaze, raised his head and smiled brightly at her, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

Feng Jin smiled back, these sons and daughters were all very good-looking, each with their own strengths.

It's just that she has no interest in these beautiful boys, and she doesn't want them to be trapped in this deep palace, to grow old quietly, and die suddenly without even having a chance to grow old.

Feng Jin had an idea in her heart, but it was only a prototype. She needed time to turn the idea into a feasible plan, and moreover needed manpower to execute the plan. Right now, she only had Wuming and Lvyi, which was far from enough.

After paying his respects, Feng Jin asked them to retreat, and the young masters looked at each other. The young master who raised his head and smiled at Feng Jin before, named Zhong Lang, was more courageous than the others, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, won't you play with us today?" ?”

He has a beautiful appearance, and when he smiles, he shows two rows of neat and white teeth, which is very good-looking. A pair of shining eyes stared straight at Feng Jin, "After going back yesterday, A-Lang thought of a few novel and interesting games, Don't you want to try, His Majesty?"

The admiration in Zhong Lang's eyes couldn't be hidden, and it seemed that he didn't want to hide it either.

It is a pity that such a passionate and lively young man is trapped in this deep palace.

Feng Jin smiled, "Let's wait another day, I'm a little tired today."

Zhong Lang was a little disappointed, but soon he showed a bright smile, his eyes sparkled, "Then Alang will wait for His Majesty."

Feng Jin smiled slightly, and raised his hand to make them retreat.

Just like when they came in, the young masters filed out.

Zhong Lang walked at the back, turning his head and smiling at Feng Jin from time to time, but Feng Jin's attention was not on him, but on the young man walking side by side with him.

Different from Zhong Lang's enthusiasm and initiative, that young master kept his head down and looked at his feet, as if feeling Feng Jin's gaze, his back became more rigid.

After everyone left, Feng Jin softly asked Lv Yi who he was.

"That's Young Master Chu Li. Why did His Majesty suddenly ask him? Among these young masters, he doesn't have the best appearance, and his temperament is not very pleasant. Normally, His Majesty would not even glance at him."

Feng Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile, "His soul is very clean."

"The soul is clean?"

Lu Yi didn't understand, and Feng Jin had no intention of explaining. He motioned her to come over and whispered a few words in her ear. Lu Yi's eyes flickered, and he bent over and retreated.

Last night, Feng Jin was moved when he talked to Lv Yi about his aunt in charge.

It's still a long way to be in power, and it's a long way to control the world. The most important thing is to control her own bedroom and palace, so as not to sleep unsteadily.

Li Chengying, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, belonged to Pei Xiu, so naturally she had to be replaced, but the first thing to do was to choose a loyal and capable aunt in charge of her bedroom, and clear the bedroom of snakes, rats and ants.

This is what she asked Lv Yi to do - find someone!
Before evening, Lvyi came back with a very heavy expression on his face. Feng Jin was sipping tea at that time. Seeing Lvyi's expression, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and joked, "Little Lvyi, even if you can't do things well, you can't find me. The person you want doesn’t have to be so heavy, right? Just keep looking.”

Lu Yi didn't smile, but looked at Feng Jin with a pale face, and said with trembling lips, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhong Lang is dead!"

Feng Jin's fingers holding the teacup tightened suddenly, "How did you die?"

"Say it fell into the water!"

"Did anyone see it?"

Lvyi shook his head, "No, when Mr. Zhong Lang was discovered, he had already soaked in the lotus pond until his body turned pale."

Feng Jin's face was terribly ugly, and his voice suddenly raised, "Lotus pond! It's not the season for lotus to bloom! He will stumble and fall into the lotus pond? Do you believe this? Pei Xiu, it must be Pei Xiu!"

With a 'bang', the teacup in Feng Jin's hand was crushed to pieces, and Lu Yi hurriedly rushed over, took her hand, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty's hand is bleeding, this servant will call the imperial physician immediately..."

"return!"

As soon as Lv Yi ran a few steps, she was called back by Feng Jin.

"I'm fine, just a little injury."

Lvyi turned her head and saw Feng Jin sitting there, the afterglow of the setting sun slipping in through the half-opened window and covering her shoulders, it was clearly a very warm picture, but for some reason, Lvyi felt that Her Majesty the Empress was sad and lonely.

"Green clothes, it's my fault, I shouldn't have smiled at him..."

Feng Jin murmured, her face was full of self-blame and regret, the blood on her finger fell drop by drop on the floor, but she didn't seem to feel any pain, and kept saying it was my fault.

Tears almost flowed down the eyes of the green clothes. She threw herself to Feng Jin's feet, hugged her legs and comforted her, "It's not His Majesty's fault, and it's none of His Majesty's business. It's all because of those bad guys..."

"Since I can't protect them, I shouldn't bring them into the harem."

Feng Jin knew why Pei Xiu attacked Zhong Lang. On the one hand, Zhong Lang smiled at her to show his kindness to her, and on the other hand, because of what happened last night, Pei Xiu was warning her.

"Green clothes, this Qiu Zhen has written down, one day..."

Feng Jin didn't continue, but Lu Yi already understood, she carefully took cotton cloth to wrap Feng Jin's wound, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there will be such a day."

At this moment, a young eunuch ran in and smiled flatteringly, "Your Majesty, Xiangye has brought you a present."

Feng Jin's eyes turned cold, and his face was gloomy, "What gift?"

The little eunuch didn't know why the Empress looked very unhappy, and replied cautiously, "It's Your Majesty's favorite gift."

Feng Jin snorted coldly, and when the little eunuch was at a loss, Feng Jin said coldly, "Bring it in."

The little eunuch agreed, trotted out, and soon led two people in, one old and one young.

The older one is about fifty years old, with a shrewd and capable face, the younger one is about seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and fair-skinned, just like those beautiful boys in the harem.

Feng Jin still didn't understand what Pei Xiu meant.

Is it a demonstration?Or warning?
Kill one first, then send her another one?
"Pei Zhong, a grass-roots man, is the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was ordered by the Prime Minister to bring gifts to His Majesty."

"No need."

Pei Zhong didn't expect Feng Jin to refuse, so he moved Pei Xiu out, "Master Xiang said, this is a gift from him to His Majesty, His Majesty must accept it."

Feng Jin's fingers were clenched into fists, and her nails pinched her palm hard. The severe pain stimulated Feng Jin to keep calm, and she said coldly, "I know Pei Qing's intentions for me, but today Pei Qing has given me a gift. It's a big gift, don't give it any more."

Feng Jin bit the word 'big gift' very hard, as if it was forced out from the gap between her teeth.

Pei Zhong was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Feng Jin's sharp and cold gaze swept over him, which made him tremble all over, and he was unable to utter a single word.

"Go back and tell Pei Qing that the 'gift' he gave me today will definitely be returned to him a thousand times in the future! At that time, he must happily accept it, otherwise, it will be disobedience! "

Feng Jin returned Pei Zhong's words, Pei Zhong's face was a bit ugly, he couldn't tell that Her Majesty's words were not good.

"Go back!"

Pei Zhong rolled his eyes and winked at the handsome young man he had brought.
