Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 163
The breeze blew, and the corners of his clothes fluttered.The slender and slightly thin figure stood quietly behind the rockery, looking a little depressed and lonely.

Chu Ziheng raised his drooping head slightly, his dark and deep eyes had returned to their usual gentleness.He raised the corners of his mouth, walked out of the rockery at a leisurely pace, and walked towards the queen mother's bedroom.

After his slender figure disappeared, a little court lady in a pink court lady's attire came out from behind a big tree not far away.Her eyes looked at the direction where Chu Ziheng left, and she didn't look back until the figure disappeared and walked in the opposite direction.

The light gauze winds around, behind the crystal clear crystal curtain.A slender and enchanting figure was lazily lying on the imperial concubine chair, her jet-black hair casually draped over her round and jade-like shoulders.The beautiful eyes were slightly closed, and the bright red lips curled up in a charming arc.

A crimson gauze smoke cage skirt set off her creamy skin more and more white as jade, and there were two little maids kneeling beside her legs.Holding a jade hammer in his hand, he gently tapped her calf.

There is a faint agarwood burning in the cabinet, which makes people feel very comfortable.There was a crisp sound of crystal curtains colliding with each other, and a little palace lady in a pink court lady's attire walked in.

She walked quickly to the beauty who was resting on the chaise longue, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.I saw that beauty slowly opened her pitch-black eyes, and the water-like tenderness in her eyes made people indulge in it unconsciously at a glance.

"Sure?"

The soft voice is as ethereal as smoke, and it is as pleasant as the ding-dong of clear springs in the mountains.

"Go back to your mother, this servant can hear you very clearly."

The maid in pink nodded solemnly, she has been with the empress since she was a child.She believed that the empress in this palace trusted her the most.

The beauty sat up lazily, and the maid in pink immediately stepped forward to support her cleverly.The beauty waved her hand, and glanced lightly at the two little maids kneeling beside her.

"You all go down, it's enough for Fenfang to stay and serve."

"Yes, Empress Zhaoyi."

The two little maids stood up and saluted, then turned and left the cabinet after a low reply.For little court ladies like them, the less they know about their master, the more likely they are to survive.

When everyone retreated, only the beauty and the pink-clothed palace lady were left in the cabinet.

"Go ahead."

This beauty is Zhen Zhaoyi who is being favored, she is lazily leaning on the chaise longue.The long and slender fingers are covered with golden armor, which is carved with exquisite patterns.The long armor scraped across the smooth surface of the chaise longue, leaving a shallow scratch.

Fen Fang's eyes lowered slightly, staring at the shallow scratches: "The prince seems to have asked someone to investigate what happened to Prince Han's visit to Beining Hou Mansion today. He just came from the emperor's imperial study. I am afraid that the emperor summoned Prince Han. If the guess is correct, I am afraid that the emperor has given a secret order to Prince Han's son."

Zhen Zhaoyi's bright red lips curled up slightly, and she raised her beautiful eyes to look at the gorgeous flowers blooming outside the window.With a faint sigh, he said softly.

"Fen Fang, how long have I been in the palace?"

Fen Fang was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Your Majesty has been in the palace for 18 years."

"In 18 years, Ben Gong was only 16 years old when he entered the palace. Now 18 years have passed, and he is already in his 30s. Fen Fang, do you think Ben Gong is old?"

Zhen Zhaoyi turned her head slowly, and looked at Fenfang, the eldest maid beside her.She is her family's maid, and she was brought into the palace because of her cleverness and loyalty to him.

"Your Majesty is not old at all, you are still the most magnificent Zhen Zhaoyi in this harem. You see, after so many years, the emperor is not as fond of you as before. In this harem besides the three concubines Shu, Xian and De, there are other concubines. Empress, other concubines don't dare to conflict with you. If the empress can give birth to a dragon son for the emperor, she will definitely be promoted to the concubine position."

Fen Fang suddenly closed her mouth, realizing that she had said something wrong.She looked carefully at the calm master, and bit her lip.Her eyes are full of remorse, she is the one who knows the master best, isn't this adding salt to the master's wound.

"Hehe, prince? God was punishing me for what I did and decided. It made me doomed not to have children of my own in this lifetime."

"Your Majesty." Fen Fang opened her mouth, she sighed and said: "At the beginning, the Prince said that as long as Your Majesty takes good care of her body, there is still a chance to conceive a dragon."

"Okay, Fenfang, don't comfort me. The more than ten years of life in the harem has made me understand a truth. If you want to survive here, you must be ruthless to the enemy and even more ruthless to yourself. I have always I don’t regret what I did at the beginning, and don’t mention the matter of being pregnant with a dragon in the future. What we have to do now is to find someone who can rely on, and the competition for the crown prince is becoming more and more obvious. The emperor’s body It is not as good as before, otherwise the emperor would not be in a hurry to choose a concubine for the crown prince."

Zhen Zhaoyi put away the sadness in her eyes, and put her hands down from her stomach.Her unborn child will surely forgive her.Everything at the beginning was forced, and she would definitely avenge her child's revenge.

"The emperor values ​​the prince so much, so why don't we stand on the prince's side?" Fen Fang tilted her head and looked at Zhen Zhaoyi suspiciously.She has been with the empress for many years, and every time the emperor came to the empress, he would praise the prince very much.The possibility of passing the position of crown prince to the prince is the greatest, and if they stand on the side of the prince, they should have the greatest chance of winning.

"The battle for the crown prince is not just for the emperor to choose whoever he likes. How many of the emperors in Dakun's dynasties were seated by the prince. In every battle between the princes, swords and swords will be faced between brothers and sisters. A beloved concubine without heirs is nothing without the support of the emperor. What I can do now is to stand on the opposite side so that I can live a good life."

Only by surviving can she carry out her plan little by little.

"Then let's go now." Fen Fang nodded, she naturally knew the hard work and hardships her master had gone through in this harem.

"You tell the nails in the palace to pay more attention to the actions of the crown prince, second prince, and third prince. There are also concubines Shu, Xian, and De. As for the queen, don't worry about it. The queen mother has been up and down in the harem for so many years. Let’s talk about the power behind the Empress Dowager and the Empress. No matter who ascends the throne in the future, these two people will not be shaken by anyone. We don’t want to be enemies with them now, and by the way, Su Yingqiu will send someone to inform Wanqing to perform well at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. "

The corners of Zhen Zhaoyi's mouth slowly curled into a ruthless arc, she needs to make more preparations now.If Shen Wanqing's move is used well, it will be of great help to her plan.

"Your servant understands. I sent the news last time. I heard from Aunt Su that the performance prepared by Ms. Wanqing this time will definitely win the leader."

Fenfang told Zhen Zhaoyi what Aunt Su had said the last time she went to deliver a message to Aunt Su.She remembered the confident smile on Aunt Su's face and the firm tone of voice.

Zhen Zhaoyi hooked the corners of her mouth, revealing a mocking smile.How could she not understand her cousin, she was smart and forbearing.It's a pity that she married into the Hou's mansion for a man who didn't love her.She could have married a rich family and become the main wife, but unfortunately she made a wrong step, which resulted in a wrong step in the end.

So what if I regret it now, there is no medicine for regret in this world.So the right choice is very important, but the daughter she taught is still good.She performed very well at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet last time, so she shouldn't be disappointed at this Hundred Flowers Banquet.

"Send her the set of unused red gold step rockers and hairpins in my jewelry box."

Zhen Zhaoyi lazily stood up from the chaise longue, and walked towards the inner room.It's time for the emperor to come to her tonight, and she needs to have a good rest now.

"Yes, the servant knows."

Fenfang helped Zhen Zhaoyi into the inner room, and waited for her to rest.From her jewelry box, she took out the set of red gold step rockers and hairpins, put them in an exquisite box, and exited the inner room with the box.

Behind the light gauze curtain, Zhen Zhaoyi stared at the top of the bed with her eyes open.There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, the fight for the crown prince would definitely plunge Ang Dakun into chaos, and she didn't mind adding fuel to the chaos.And the source of the fire, she has already found the target.

In the imperial study room, the emperor had a happy smile on his face.The worries that had been on his mind were finally resolved, and he looked with satisfaction at Chu Mohan who was sitting opposite him, drinking tea leisurely.

"Haha, I'm sure I saw the right person. Let Mo Han go and bring back the half tiger talisman to me."

Chu Mohan put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the smiling emperor lightly.He is extremely protective of his weaknesses, especially for his little Yu'er.

"Your majesty, it seems not good for you to take back the military power from Lord Hou. Even if it's not for the empress dowager's face, it's for the empress's face. Give the Hou family some compensation, and it will also save their face."

The emperor nodded when he heard Chu Mohan's words.Of course he knew about this, but he never knew what compensation he should give to the Hou Fu.

"Of course I know this, but I haven't figured out what kind of reward I want to give to the Houfu. Mo Han, what's your idea?"

Chu Mohan stretched out his hand to stroke his chin, his bottom eyes pondered for a moment.A strange light flashed in his eyes, he stood up and walked to the emperor's side.Leaning over to his ear, he whispered a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

A flash of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the smiling Chu Mohan beside him.The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he seemed to have been blackmailed by this cunning fox-like kid.It seems that this kid has really moved his heart towards Shen Wanyu, and he is so considerate of her.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
