Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 316 Curious
"I don't know what the women did?" Feng Yao couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat when she saw that the emperor didn't ask her to get up, and her voice was gloomy.

But only heard a cold snort from above, and then the voice of the chief eunuch rang out, annoyed and hated for his incompetence: "Feng family, Feng family, the emperor values ​​your talent, how honorable it is to call you into the Imperial Clothes Bureau What about it? How could you do such a disgraceful thing and lose the face of our Da Jingchao?"

Feng Yao didn't understand even more, and asked cautiously: "Please explain in detail, Eunuch."

The chief eunuch sighed and said: "The clothes that were sent up this year are the most beautiful ones you designed. The emperor ordered people to put them at the end as the last style. The clothes in the front are slightly inferior. The emperor is waiting for your Qu Yu to restore the situation."

Feng Yao couldn't get what the emperor called out, so she had no choice but to kneel, listening to the eunuch sigh and criticize.

"Who would have thought that after dancing for a while in the dancers' trains, all the clothes fell off the dancers' bodies! At that time, all the civil and military officials and envoys from the four countries present here saw the dancers in distress!" The more the eunuch spoke, the more angry he became, staring at Feng Yao with cloudy eyes and said: "Qu Yu is certainly beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it can't compare to this messy scene!"

This is the reason why Dajingchao suffered a disastrous defeat in this year's clothing competition.

Hearing the chief eunuch's words, Feng Yao's brows moved slightly, not only did she not feel surprised, but she felt relieved.Ever since the dead rat was found in the metal box that day, Feng Yao knew that the matter would not end so easily.Prime Minister Su must have a backup.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Su's successor is today.He didn't know what method he used, but he broke the sewing thread of the clothes, causing the clothes to be scattered on the spot, causing an extremely embarrassing scene.Just imagine, this kind of clothing doesn't even have the function of covering the body, so what's the use of being pretty?Naturally, they lost without any suspense.

"Return to the emperor, the women are wronged." Feng Yao knelt straight, and reported in detail that when she handed in her clothes that day, she found a dead rat in a metal box: "Many people have witnessed this incident with their own eyes. , Your Majesty is aware."

"Huh?" The emperor frowned and looked at Feng Yao.

"The folk woman thinks that this matter is already obvious, but some people don't want Dajingchao to win the championship, and they don't want the folk woman to win the championship." Feng Yao said clearly and clearly: "The folk woman didn't find any clues that day, so He kept silent and suffered from being dumb. Who would have thought that the man's hand would reach into the palace and tamper with the clothes."

The emperor stared at Feng Yao seriously, and said: "Why are all the other clothes in good condition, but yours fell apart?"

"That's because the women's clothes are the prettiest among them." Feng Yao raised her head and looked at the emperor neither humble nor overbearing.

The emperor frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "What's the use of talking about it now? This year's competition has been completed, and the result has been settled. If you lose, you lose!"

"No!" Feng Yao didn't wait for the emperor to shout this time, she stood up directly, looked up at the emperor and said: "Who said you lost?"

What the emperor dislikes the most is Feng Yao's daring and reckless behavior.Did he wake her up?She dared to get up!As a result, his face became even uglier, he snorted coldly, and said, "I said I lost!"

"May I ask that the emperor is the one who wears these clothes?" Feng Yao raised her voice and asked again.

Now, Feng Yao is not afraid of the emperor anymore.Firstly, she is the mother of Murong Yu's son; secondly, Taifu Feng has already told her to mention her identity to the emperor.Therefore, no matter what it is, the emperor can't do anything to Feng Yao.

Sure enough, although the emperor didn't like Fengyao's behavior, let alone her arrogance, he could only give her a lesson and told her to kneel for a while longer.As for the punishment, it doesn't depend on Murong Yu's face, but on Feng Taifu's face as well.So he snorted coldly and didn't answer.

At this time, the usefulness of the chief eunuch appeared, he glanced at the emperor's expression, then turned his head to look at Feng Yao and said: "The emperor is the son of heaven, how can he wear these little daughter's clothes?"

"That's it. If the women say something bold, whoever wears these clothes in the future will be qualified to judge, which clothes look the best!" Feng Yao was neither humble nor overbearing, but her tone was firm.

For so many years, the judges have always been those who attended the banquet in the palace, including the emperor, empresses, officials and envoys from the four countries.But Feng Yao felt that the common people hadn't spoken yet, so how could they come to a conclusion so easily?

This is the idea that Feng Yao has been instilled in when she lived in modern times-the people are the masters of the country.

However, in the era of imperial power, no one considered this point.So after listening to Feng Yao's words, the emperor's face sank immediately, and he was extremely angry: "Is it not counted if I say it?"

"Not counting." Feng Yao answered very neatly, not afraid of offending him.

"Bold!" The chief eunuch trembled in shock, pointing at Feng Yao's finger, trembling.

The emperor was also very angry, staring at Feng Yao with gloomy eyes, and asked angrily: "Feng Shi, do you really think that I dare not punish you for your crime?"

Punish the crime, punish the crime, punish your sister!Feng Yao slandered in her heart, but this is the way it is in this era, the emperor wants to punish her, it is really just a matter of one sentence.So he lowered his head slightly, slowed down his tone, and said: "The woman is just a woman, the emperor wants to punish the crime of the woman, how can there be any reason for the woman to escape responsibility?"

"Hmph!" The emperor snorted softly.

Feng Yao was tired of the emperor's tricks, but she had to deal with him, so she just suppressed her temper and said: "It turned out that the woman's explanation was not thorough, and the emperor misunderstood it. It was the woman's fault. Please forgive me. The woman originally What I want to say is that the emperor has the final say on the garment making competition, but the emperor has unintentionally favored others."

"How can I favor others?" the emperor asked.

Feng Yao replied: "The clothes made by the Bai Kingdom are light and beautiful, but they are not suitable for the women of our Dajing Dynasty. Every year, the styles left by the Bai Kingdom are finally worn by the common people, and they are remade by the merchants." What is being dealt with is not the original appearance of the Bai Kingdom. From this point of view, the clothing styles of the Bai Kingdom are not very suitable for us. Then, since they are not suitable, how can we talk about the best?"

"In your opinion, shouldn't Bai Guo win this match?" The emperor couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and asked Feng Yao.

Feng Yao nodded, with a deeply approving expression on her face: "We deserve to win."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help tapping a few times with his fingers, frowning and thinking.After a while, he said, "It's still the same problem, the competition is over, how can you save it?"

"The emperor told the envoys not to leave, let's do the competition again." Feng Yao said, "This time, let the people of the whole city participate in the selection. It is fair and just. Ask them if they dare?"

"The slaves thought they wouldn't dare." At this time, the eunuch behind the emperor saw that the emperor had been silent for a long time, and said, "Those envoys are very shrewd. Since they won, how can they be willing to try again? Besides , the people participating in the selection are all the people of our Dajing Dynasty, how can they rest assured?"

Feng Yao had already thought about this problem, and said: "Then tell them, we will change to this comparison every year in the future, if they don't dare, they won't use it in the future!"

You must know that the four countries brought clothes, pearl hairpins, makeup powder, beauties, etc. to the court. They were obviously paying tribute, and the relationship between friendly countries would secretly send students to the Gentleman Academy to learn the culture of the Dajing Dynasty.And, many businessmen will take the opportunity to rush in, do business with each other, and make a fortune.

If there is no comparison in the future, how will businessmen do business?How can you make a fortune without doing business?If you don't get rich, how can you honor officials?One ring after another, it is a big loss.

"That's a good idea." After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but nod his head, and looked at Feng Yao again, he was no longer so depressed: "Do you have a plan in mind?"

"Yes!" Feng Yao nodded happily, "I implore the emperor to keep the envoys from the four countries and tell them to come to the Imperial Clothes Bureau to look for me. Let's compete again!"

The emperor saw that she spoke happily, as if she was very confident, and said with a half-smile: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you. If it is done well, it will be counted as redemption. If it is not done well, Both crimes shall be punished together."

"Yes!" Feng Yao lowered her head and replied simply.

The emperor called Feng Yao here, originally to accuse her of a crime and test Murong Yu again.Unexpectedly, Feng Yao took the topic away.Moreover, this topic is of some interest to him.Therefore, he put An's crime and the matter of testing Murong Yu behind his mind, and waved to Feng Yao: "Go down and get ready."

Feng Yao saluted, then turned and retreated.When her back was gone, the eunuch looked at the emperor hesitantly, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you agree to her for such a big event?"

Although the emperor is getting older, the imperial arrogance in his bones is still undiminished. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Why don't you give it a try?"

It's just four small countries. If he is not happy, it's okay to send people to destroy them all.These small fights, small losses and small wins, the emperor didn't pay much attention to them, it was just for fun.

When the eunuch heard the words, he didn't say anything else, and when he saw the emperor started to write the imperial decree, he stood aside and began to grind the ink.

On the other side, Feng Yao left the palace, but did not go back directly to Prince Yu's Mansion, but walked to Yu Wuyou's other courtyard in Xuanjing City.This courtyard is Yu Wuyou's newest purchase. It is located in a very rich and prosperous area of ​​the city.And the occupied area is not small, the diagonal is several miles long.

Yu Wuyou has been staying in Xuanjing City since the new year, and received a letter from Feng Yao to buy a house in a prosperous part of the city.Then, according to the strange design given by Feng Yao, masons, carpenters, etc. were invited to build it.

For two months in a row, the sound of "thump, thud, thud, thud" came from the closed gate of Yu's courtyard.In this bustling street with people coming and going, it is particularly attractive.Someone once climbed on the big tree outside the gate of the Yujia Bieyuan, looked inside, but saw a wide open space, built a "T"-shaped platform, about a hundred feet long, ten feet wide, as high as a human neck .

On both sides of the table, there were newly built tables and chairs placed in order, so densely packed that it was impossible to count how many there were.But at a glance, if there are more people standing between the tables and chairs, this huge empty yard may only accommodate thousands of people.

What exactly is this going to do?Is it a new troupe?But which theater troupe is so capable that it invites thousands of people to participate?Questions gradually spread among the crowd, and more and more people were curious about the Yu Family Courtyard.
