Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 261 Lost
After hearing Feng Yao's answer, Doudou's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.In the past, he had a mother, so he quietly looked forward to his father every day.Now that Dad is finally by his side, Mother can no longer be by his side.Why is his life so hard?
With daily reading and literacy, and being influenced by Murong Yu's historical allusions, Doudou today is no longer the ignorant little guy in the past.Many times, there are many ironic little adult thoughts in my mind.He lowered his head and touched Xiaobai in his arms, thinking at this moment, could it be that Xiaobai is the only one who will always be by his side in this life?

Feng Yao naturally saw his slightly pursed mouth, and felt a little bit reluctant, but she had something she wanted to do, and now she couldn't take Doudou with her, it was only for a while.Then he stretched out his hand, rubbed Doudou's little face vigorously, and said with a smirk: "Doudou is reluctant to part with mother?"

Doudou was immersed in the communication with Xiaobai at the moment, did not pay attention to the smirk in Fengyao's tone, and just replied in a muffled voice: "Yes."

"It seems that you are too busy. Wait until I leave a letter for your father, asking him to double your homework." Feng Yao finally laughed out loud.

Hearing this, Doudou looked up in astonishment, and seeing Feng Yao's expression that did not seem to be joking, realized that misfortunes never come singly.Not only did he want to lose his mother temporarily, but he also got double his homework, so he was stunned: "Why?"

"Where there is gain, there is loss, and where there is loss, there is gain. Didn't your father teach you?" Feng Yao turned around with a smirk, and continued to pack things.

Doudou eagerly argued: "That's not the case!" He obviously lost his mother temporarily, and also lost the time to play, "Mother, you are sophistry!"

How did Feng Yao not know Doudou's closeness and dependence on her?It's a pity that for Doudou's safety, she had to go to Beijing alone. She sighed and coaxed: "It's not my mother's fault. It was your father who said last night that you are too smart. The homework is simply too simple for you, and you always finish it in less than half the time." Without hesitation, he put the blame on Murong Yu.

"Ah? Is that so?" Hearing this explanation, Doudou was half proud and half bitter.It actually made him tangled up, should he refute or admit it?
When the little guy was struggling, Feng Yao had already packed his things.Two sets of laundry, some silver taels, and a stack of unfinished drawings.He led Doudou to the West Chamber, called Mrs. Chen, took out a roll of blueprints and handed it to her: "Sister-in-law Chen, when Huarui comes back, you give this to her. Just say that I have entered Beijing. If my son can't come back, the affairs of Fengxu Pavilion will follow the plan."

Aunt Chen took the roll of blueprints and nodded, "I see, don't worry Madam, I will definitely give it to Miss Huarui."

Feng Yao nodded, then lowered her head and patted Doudou's head: "Hey, do you hear me? Don't run around, or you will be abducted by human traffickers, and you will never see your mother again."

There is no trace at home, and Doudou cannot be abducted no matter what.But Doudou was caught in the misfortune that misfortunes never come singly at the moment, so she put on a bitter face and nodded: "Yeah."

Feng Yao rubbed his little head amusedly, then said to the Xuan Zhi eunuch who was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea: "Eunuch, let's go?"

"Okay." Xuan Zhi eunuch put down the cup, stood up and went outside first.

Feng Yao followed closely behind and got into the carriage.Feeling that the carriage was gradually moving, Feng Yao hugged her carry-on luggage, put on a gossiping lady's face, and asked the Xuanzhi eunuch beside her very curiously: "Elder-in-law, we have to go on this journey for a long time, why don't we chat for a while?" How about chatting? For example, has the engagement of Her Highness the Princess been settled yet?"

It's not the same whether it's just the queen's intention, or whether the Feng family has agreed to the marriage.What's more, it's not a trivial matter for the princess to recruit a son-in-law, and it needs to be explained by an imperial decree.

When Xuanzhi eunuch heard the words, he hesitated on his face: "It seems that only the Empress Empress has such a meaning."

"So, does the emperor disagree, or does the Feng family disagree?" Feng Yao asked gossipingly.

Probably no one had ever spoken to him so politely and enthusiastically. The eunuch Xuanzhi was stared at by Feng Yao, cleared his throat, and said, "I don't know. Think about how domineering and flamboyant our Princess is in the past? Now How strange is it that she kept silent, as if she had nothing to do with this matter? We all felt that Her Royal Highness had fallen out of favor, so we dared not argue with the empress."

After Feng Yao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.These two times when Murong Xi'er left the palace, she felt that something was wrong.However, Murong Xi'er had a clear mind and refused to say many things, even Feng Yao couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Besides, Murong Xi'er likes Su Xingyan a little bit, doesn't he?Why is she still silent now that a marriage has been arranged?It's really not like her temper.Could it be that he really angered the emperor and fell out of favor?

"Where is the imperial concubine?" Feng Yao frowned, and asked curiously: "Isn't the princess born by the imperial concubine? Does the imperial concubine have anything to say about the important events in the life of the princess?"

When she was in the palace that day, Feng Yao could see clearly that Concubine Xu Guifei's status was not low, and she also loved Murong Xi'er very much.Why is she silent about this?Could it be that she has also fallen out of favor, so she can't show herself to her daughter?

The eunuch Xuan Zhi shook his head and said: "The imperial concubine didn't express her opinion, she seems to be very satisfied." Having said that, there was a gloating look on his face.So what if Her Royal Highness is noble?With such a temper, the only way to marry a prodigal like Feng Ziyu is.

Feng Yao was stunned for a moment, and there was a vague thought in her mind, could it be that Concubine Xu Gui had succumbed to the power of the queen?
But how is this possible?Concubine Xu Gui is so shrewd, why did she submit to the queen instead of protecting her daughter?Therefore, Feng Yao thought of another possibility and asked: "I don't know what kind of person the young master of Feng Taifu's family is? Gentle or tough? Wen or martial arts? How is he born? Is he worthy of a princess? "

Maybe it's because the son of Feng Taifu's family is really a rare good character, so Xu Guifei has no objection, and Murong Xi'er is also interested?Feng Yao thought to herself.For a while, another thought came to my mind.The son of Taifu Feng's family is the one who replaced the Feng family, not the real master.

If Murong Xi'er likes him, then there is no need to worry about his identity, after all the most important thing is character.In particular, Taifu Feng is very knowledgeable, and most of the children he raises are reliable and good men. Why don't heroes ask about their backgrounds?Of course, if that guy is a bad boy who messes around, Feng Yao has plenty of ways to get Murong Xi'er to get rid of him.

The Xuanzhi eunuch gave a strange laugh and said, "Madam Feng thinks, what kind of man would be unengaged at the age of 19?"

Su Xingyan is 21 years old, isn't he still not engaged?Age doesn't mean anything, does it?Feng Yao's first thought when she heard this sentence was to disapprove.The next moment, Feng Yao came back to the memory - like Su Xingyan, there are very few men who are not engaged at the age of 20!Moreover, among 20-year-old men who have not yet engaged, there are very few men with such a good character as Su Xingyan!
Just like in the previous life, when a man in his 30s who has not yet married a wife, when he has never met, who would listen to him and whisper?Is this person sick?Does this person have a bad temper and beat his wife?Is this person short and ugly?Is this person so incompetent that he can't support his wife?
In ancient times, with the status of the Feng family, the possibility of the latter two is extremely low.The possibility of the first two is much greater.Feng Yao couldn't help becoming nervous for a while: "Elder-in-law, is that son of Feng Taifu's family particularly greedy and lustful?"

In ancient times, this was extremely important.When a good family chooses a son-in-law, they don't choose such a person, so as not to embarrass their own daughter.

The Xuanzhi eunuch covered his mouth and laughed strangely: "Madam Feng is transparent!"

He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no.Feng Yao pondered what he meant, as if she guessed right?After thinking about it for a while, in order not to make the eunuch Xuanzhi suspicious, he talked a lot with him along the way.

Finally, the carriage stopped.

"Here we are, Madam Feng, please get out of the carriage." The eunuch Xuan Zhi got up first, got off the carriage, and stood beside the carriage waiting for Feng Yao.

Feng Yao opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped down. When she saw the mansion next to the carriage, she couldn't help being stunned: "This is the Imperial Clothing Bureau?"

The Imperial Clothes Bureau, with the word "御", Feng Yao originally thought that it must be in the palace.However, it is clearly a private residential area.It's just that the surrounding courtyards all look quite grand.Feng Yao looked around, and saw green bricks and green tiles, and surrounding walls.

"That's right, this is the Imperial Clothes Bureau." The eunuch Xuanzhi smiled and raised his hand, pointing to the plaque hanging above.I saw the three big characters "Yuyi Bureau" written on it, which is the most unfaithful.

The eunuch Xuanzhi had a pleasant chat with Fengyao all the way, and while walking in front of the gate, he explained: "The Imperial Clothes Bureau here is not a place in the palace to control the clothes of the princes. It is specially opened. It is used to study clothes when the four countries come to court. It is empty on weekdays, but it is opened every October, and it is open to the most famous merchants in the capital, and ordinary people with some talents can come in to show their talents. "

Feng Yao followed the eunuch Xuanzhi and walked all the way inside.I saw that this mansion was built quite broadly, it was actually a big courtyard with five entrances and five exits, and it was divided into seven or eight separate courtyards.

Listening to the eunuch Xuanzhi's description, it seems that some are specially used for discussing affairs, some are specially used for members to live in, some are specially established places to eat, and some are places for ordinary people to come in and make a difference.It can be said that it is detailed and comprehensive, without any omissions.

Feng Yao was surprised in her heart, she just felt that this place was very quiet and solemn, even the servants who came and went were light in their hands and feet, so they didn't make a sound easily.Could it be that he was afraid of disturbing the inspiration of those who were thinking hard?For a moment, Feng Yao had some thoughts of admiration for the person who built this Imperial Clothes Bureau.

"It is said that it is open for the most famous merchants in the capital. But like Qiutang Garden, Qingshui Pavilion, and Yuerongji, who would seriously live here? They all do what they need to do, come here in three or two days Just work for one day." The eunuch Xuan Zhi whispered to Feng Yao again, "I'll take you to see the aunt in charge here in a while, you go along the way to see which courtyard you like, just pick and choose to live in."

Feng Yao's eyes flickered, and she responded with a smile: "Thank you, Eunuch."
