Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 162 Maintenance
If Murong Xi'er believed her, and someone questioned her sudden change in the future, it would be an extra guarantee.

Although the sun is bright after autumn, it has a whizzing coolness.Feng Yao quickened her pace and walked back to the embroidery courtyard.Pushing open the courtyard door, just a few steps in, I saw a group of people rushing out of the room, looking towards this side.

"Ms. Fengxiu, what's going on?"

"Yeah, did the maid be saved?"

The shrewd one looked Fengyao up and down, and saw that Fengyao's clothes were not wrinkled, her bun was not messy, and there were no welt marks on her body, so she knew it.

Feng Yao scanned the crowd and landed on Sun Xiuniang: "Sun Xiuniang, what do you think?"

Sun Xiuniang flicked her sleeves: "How do I know?" Pushing aside the crowd and entering the room, there was no response.

This time she learned to be smart, Feng Yao felt amused, and didn't call her again, but said: "It's nothing. Everyone should do whatever they want, so let's do it."

It is nothing to show off what you have risked your life for.After Feng Yao finished speaking, she lifted her foot and walked into her room.

Behind him, a trace of sarcasm and faint pain flashed in Yan Xiuniang's eyes.

Back in the house, Feng Yao closed the door and window, and quickly changed out of her soaked clothes.Thinking of the decision to save Ju'er, but ultimately deepening Murong Xi'er's trust, I feel a little emotional.This is a drink and a peck, it's God's will.

Throw the changed clothes in the basin, take them out, go to the well, and soak the clothes.

Hu Xiuniang was the most kind-hearted person, and when she saw this, she came over and said, "Feng Xiuniang, you don't have to wash your clothes yourself, someone here will do it for you."

Feng Yao nodded and thanked, but said: "No problem, it's just this one after all, I just rub it and it will be fine. Is there any soap powder for washing clothes?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you." Hu Xiuniang turned around and went to get soap powder.

After washing the clothes, Feng Yao wiped her hands and went back to the house, spread paper and ink, and continued to draw patterns.Because of solving a major matter, Feng Yao feels at ease, and writes like a god.

At lunch, because everyone knew that Fengyao was valued and favored by the princess, no one showed dissatisfaction when Fengyao buried her head in eating meat—just kidding, in this thorny place, there is someone who can save her life, And those who are kind-hearted and willing to help are simply relatives of their ancestors, so what's wrong with eating a piece of meat?
One embroiderer even picked up the largest and leanest piece of meat, and put it in Feng Yao's bowl flatteringly: "Feng embroiderer, you are so skinny, eat more meat to make up for it."

Even if Feng Yao has a thick skin, she can't help feeling a little hot.Is she thin?God knows she just looks slender, but in fact there is absolutely no shortage of fleshy places!However, for the kindness of others, he still sincerely said: "Thank you."

After eating, Feng Yao took the drawn style, and the matching hair bun style, and went to Yongning Palace where Murong Xi'er lived.

Yesterday Murong Xi'er had already ordered that if she went in and out of the embroidery courtyard, there was no need to interrogate or stop her.Therefore, Feng Yao's trip to Yongning Palace went smoothly.

"Thank you, Fengxiuer, for saving Ju'er's life. Ju'er can't get out of bed now, and I will come to thank Fengxiuer when she recovers." Qing'er, who was leading the way, whispered.

Feng Yao thought for a while, then took out a piece of silver from her sleeve: "It's a life after all, if I can save it, I can't ignore it. You pass this on to Ju'er for me, I hope she gets better soon."

Qing'er took the silver and was about to thank Ju'er when she saw Feng Yao had turned around and entered, her eyes were wet.Fengxiu Niang is really a good person.

"Come and sit." Murong Xi'er beckoned to Feng Yao.

Feng Yao looked along the place where her hand fell, and couldn't help being startled.

Murong Xi'er smiled and said: "What? My friend, I invite you to sit by my side, don't you dare?"

Feng Yao smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of the princess' jokes, I really don't dare. The princess is the daughter of a dragon, and I'm just a commoner. It's shameless for me to be friends with the princess."

Murong Xi'er couldn't help being amused, she raised the back of her hand to cover her mouth, and kept laughing, "You are so funny." After laughing, she patted the place beside her and said, "Then you Shameless for a while, sit next to me."

Feng Yao still shook her head, even if Murong Xi'er didn't care about it, it wouldn't sound good if it spread to other people's ears.There are no secrets in the palace, and every brick and tile has become a master.He pointed to the small stool under Murong Xi'er's feet, and said: "If the princess really takes pity on me, please give me that small stool to sit on."

Murong Xi'er said angrily, "Sit down if you want."

Feng Yao walked over with a smile, took out two patterns from her bosom, and unfolded them to explain to Murong Xi'er: "This is the first outfit I designed for the princess. Based on the original style, I added some new and unique ones." Just like this, the cuffs are wider and more elegant. Look at this place, the hem is widened by a finger, making it more dignified..."

While talking, he looked up at Murong Xi'er's expression, and saw that she was quite satisfied, so he continued to explain: "This set of clothes has two colors that are most suitable, one is mainly red, and the other is golden. This kind of color scheme is the most noble and elegant, highlighting the most noble status of the princess; the other kind is mainly bright purple, supplemented by light gray, this kind of color is the most suitable for the character of the princess, cold and proud, not to be desecrated."

Murong Xi'er thought for a while, and said: "Let's use the first type. The suit you gave me before was purple, this time I'll make it red."

Feng Yao nodded and said to write down: "In addition to this, I designed a hair style that matches this outfit. How does the princess look?" After finishing speaking, she folded the paper with the clothes pattern on it, Expand the hairstyle below.

Murong Xi'er really felt the novelty, so she leaned over to look at it a few times: "That's right, it's very interesting." After finishing speaking, he shouted outside, "Qing'er, come and brush my hair with me."

After the new bun was combed out, Murong Xi'er looked at the mirror, looked from left to right, and smiled like a peach blossom in spring, bright and lovely: "This princess likes it."

At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came in: "What is Xi'er doing? You are smiling so happily, but what's so good about it?"

I saw a young man in gorgeous and complicated clothes walking in with a smile on his face. It was Murong Lian.

Murong Xi'er's expression was not very good, he got up from the couch, and bowed to Murong Lian: "Why did you think of Xi'er's Yongning Palace?"

Murong Lian laughed and said: "You are my most beloved imperial sister, as an imperial brother, why should I come to see you?" As he said this, the corners of his eyes looked at Feng Yao's face behind Murong Xi'er from time to time. look.

Murong Xi'er used to just disdain Murong Lian's licentiousness, but now seeing Murong Lian's idea on Feng Yao's head, she couldn't help but feel a wave of anger welling up in her heart: "Hehe, I thought the elder brother had taken a fancy to me The newly recruited embroiderer was too embarrassed to ask me for it last time, but this time she came together again."

Annoyance flashed in Murong Lian's eyes, but he smiled heartily: "Xi'er is talking nonsense again, why did Brother Dahuang ever be such a person?"

Smelly girl, you don't know how to play!
Murong Xi'er smiled and said: "Xi'er was just joking with the great emperor, why should the great emperor be annoyed?" After finishing speaking, he turned to Feng Yao and said, "Did you hear what I told you just now? Hurry up Go down, get things ready and present them earlier! Otherwise... hum!"

Knowing that Murong Xi'er was defending her, Feng Yao bowed her head and walked away quickly without raising her head.

Murong Lian's gaze moved accordingly, and he saw Feng Yao's side face was as white as an egg that had just been peeled off its shell, and the skin on the back of her neck that was exposed was delicate and smooth. A hundred claws and a thousand scratches.After walking out of Murong Xi'er's Yongning Palace, Prince Murong Lian's complexion sank, and he never recovered.

Holding hands behind his back, he walked all the way back, thinking in his heart, how can he get Feng Yao?

The little eunuch who was following behind was his confidant, his thoughts turned and he came up with an idea: "Your Highness, why don't you..." He moved closer to Murong Lian's ear and said something like this.

Immediately, Murong Lian's eyes lit up: "Hahaha, okay, that's it!"

He turned his foot and went to the Xuanming Palace where the emperor was.

Xuanming Palace.

The empress finished her lunch and sat on the couch to talk.

The queen complained: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with my concubines. When Xi'er came to pay my respects to me these two days, I probed her and found out that she didn't want to marry. But the princess of the Tian family, there is no reason not to marry. ?Because I love her so much, I left her until she was 16 years old before starting to choose a son-in-law. But in the past two days, I mentioned a few candidates to her, but she turned them down straight away. It's really hard to be a concubine."

"Which candidate did you choose for her?" The emperor, who was over sixty years old, leaned on the couch and said with his eyes closed as he opened his mouth to enjoy the big purple grapes peeled by the maid for him.

The queen then replied: "There is Feng Ziyu, the son of Taifu Feng's family, who is 19 years old this year. The concubine sent someone to inquire about it. He was born very well. Qi Bin, only eighteen years old, was told by people that he is polite and calm. These two are very well-born, have a good temper, and there are no messy people in the room, they are the most suitable for a princess."

"Sounds good." The emperor opened his eyes slightly, his thoughts drifting away: "I think back then, Taifu Feng was repeatedly suppressed by the former emperor's forces because of protecting me, and his life was in danger several times. After I take the throne firmly , Feng Taifu resigned from office, and I have never had time to thank him. You can inquire about Feng Ziyu of his family, if he is really good, then marry Xi'er over."

A flash of success flashed in the Queen's eyes, she lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience." At this moment, a middle-aged eunuch walked in and said in a strange voice.

The emperor sat up slowly, and said with a smile, "Quickly ask Lian'er to come in."

The queen couldn't help laughing and said: "Lian'er is filial, and comes to pay her respects every day."

"Yes, I am indeed the crown prince chosen by myself." The emperor's tone was full of pride, as if he had forgotten how rebellious he was back then.

Not long after, Murong Lian came in and said, "I wish my father well, and may my father be in good health. I wish my mother well, and may my mother be blessed and safe."

"Get up quickly." The queen gave her beloved son a look, and quickly waved him to get up: "You child, and no outsiders are around, why bother to be so polite?"

"Thank you, Empress." Murong Lian straightened up, walked to the empress and sat down, and said concerned words: "Father and empress are both in good health?"

The emperor nodded and smiled, "Very good, my son doesn't have to worry about it."

Murong Lian continued: "The day before yesterday, I heard that my father was not sleeping well. I asked the imperial doctor, and asked Xue Er to sew a neck pillow for my father. It was finished with a few stitches. Father sent it."

"Haha, good, my son is very good!" Xue'er is the name of the Crown Princess Mu Xuelan, and the emperor couldn't help but feel relieved to hear that the Crown Prince is so filial.
