The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 236

Feng Jin had already sat down opposite her, frowning slightly, listening attentively.

If it wasn't for the fact that Seventh Lady was used to seeing beauties, and she had been with Sixth Lady for a long time, she would have been fascinated by his attentive and quiet beauty.

"Although this matter is not big, the relationship is by no means small." He simply agreed. "It's about your Fifth Sister, of course Zixiu will do her best."

In turn, she blamed Qin Niangzi, "Human life is at stake, you should have sent someone to tell me earlier, why delay until today."

Seventh Lady hastily took out a few pieces of paper from her bosom. "This woman is called Da Niu in the neighborhood, and her surname is Xiao. These are the names and resumes of her natal family. I also asked people to inquire about these information years ago. I was busy during the Chinese New Year, so it was delayed... Her husband's name was Qiu Shisan, who came here to survive with a house in Meimei Hutong. He was usually reticent and had little contact with the people around him. It took a lot of effort to get this name. I found out after inquiring. Not long after I came here, I fell in love with Miss Xiao, and after asking someone to propose marriage to Xiao's house, they got married soon, and the young couple went south to seek refuge with relatives and friends."

While talking, she felt a little embarrassed, "Such a little information...is really embarrassing my cousin."

Feng Jin, on the other hand, looked unpredictable. He took the information in Qiniangzi's hands, flipped through it for a while, and said, "I seem to have some impression of the name Qiu Shisan, but it's hard to say. After all, there are many people with the same name and surname in the world. Or I don’t remember where I saw this name... I’ll check back, and if I have any news, I’ll send a message to my cousin-in-law.”

Seventh Lady couldn't help being overjoyed, "Thank you, cousin."

Thinking of her second request, it was a little difficult to say for a while, and she paused, then asked in a low voice, "Speaking of which, my cousin doesn't have many relatives in the capital, even if you don't want to associate with the Yang family. But I and Sheng But Luan always treats you as a family member..."

She didn't reveal it, but asked if Feng Jin planned to make the relationship between the two of them dark, so that Xu's family would have another family to communicate with.

This question involved many twists and turns, but it wasn't just Feng Jin's wishes.

In order to attract everyone's attention back then, Feng Jin spared no expense on his future, and kept emphasizing the ambiguous relationship between him and the current prince and the current emperor in his capacity as a spy.Although he received the effect of attracting the attention of King Lu and gaining space for the prince to arrange, but there will be endless troubles, and he himself will not be able to get rid of the scandal with the emperor for the rest of his life.Especially when this scandal is not groundless, he would rather keep a low profile, of course there are many reasons.

But now that he is in charge of Yan Yunwei, and has a close relationship with Lian Eunuch, he can be regarded as the head of the Great Qin Secret Service, and there are not many idle censors who dare to offend him.Feng Jin has an official position and a Jinshi background. If he draws a clear line with the court and stops being too close, his face is old and a little scandal is nothing.It's been a long time, and everyone has forgotten it.

Of course, the premise of doing this is still to draw a clear line with the emperor, from the relationship between lovers to the relationship between monarch and minister.Qin Niangzi believes that with Feng Jin's ability, even if there is no love to maintain the emperor's favor for him, he can still secure Yan Yunwei's position: no matter what, even if we break up, the love is still there of.Otherwise, in the past half a year, Feng Jin has been resolutely refusing to enter the palace to meet the emperor. If the emperor had only treated him as a common prostitute, he would have been screwed up long ago.

For this Ninth Five-Year Honor, Qin Niangzi dare not take it lightly at all.

But this step still depends on whether Feng Jin is willing to step forward or not.At least at this time last year, he would rather continue to act in a low-key manner and bear the reputation of being a sycophant, rather than sever his relationship with the emperor, or even keep this relationship low-key, so as to whiten his reputation.

But at this time last year, neither Concubine Niu Shu nor Liu Niangzi were pregnant...

Qin Niangzi asked such complicated and subtle emotional changes with just one sentence, but the question was clever, leaving Feng Jin room to evade.

Feng Jin's eyes flickered, and on his jade-like face, thousands of emotions were fleeting.

He suddenly sighed, "Lan Xinhui's daughter family like Shanheng is the only one I've ever seen in my life... There are a lot of things to say, my cousin can only talk to you."

"In my whole life, I, Feng Zixiu, will inevitably make mistakes. When I look back, I have regretted countless things. But there is only one thing in this life that I have never regretted doing." Feng Jin's eyes There was a hint of a smile. "Or my whole life was ruined by a word of love, which is hard to say."

"For him, I'm sorry to the world, I'm sorry to my relatives—I'm sorry. This is my waywardness, please don't blame my cousin." His eyes rolled up. "Will Shan Heng blame my cousin?"

Feng Jin at this moment is really like the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Liu Niangzi on the dragon boat glanced at her, she was extremely beautiful.However, his beauty is a little more lonely than Liu Niangzi's beauty, and it is because of this loneliness that it looks more moving.

Seventh Lady shook her head, and she answered sincerely, "As long as Cousin is happy, how can Xiaoqi have the right to judge you?"

After a pause, she continued, "It's just that since cousin thinks so, why should he avoid the emperor and refuse to enter the palace?"

This is the first time Qin Niangzi explicitly mentioned the title of emperor.

In Feng Jin's eyes, there was a flash of cunning.

"Love is true love for him, but you can't do without the means." He said softly. "Even though he is doing it for his heirs, out of helplessness, I can't let him think that I can have both with others."

Seventh Lady suddenly realized.

No wonder Feng Jin refused to enter the palace to meet the emperor ever since the emperor met Concubine Niu Shu last year.He didn't mind the emperor getting close to others for the sake of his heirs, but he didn't want to make do with it and ruin his own preciousness.

If you don't take yourself seriously and are willing to compromise, how can you let others think highly of you?
At this moment, this young man who became famous and had power all over the world, the head of the secret service, finally showed his scheming in front of Qin Niangzi.Although it's just such a small matter, one can imagine his cunning by seeing the details.

Qin Niangzi immediately gave up the idea of ​​speaking for Feng Ling and persuading Feng Jin to adopt a boy: such a person with extraordinary methods and deep thoughts naturally can't fail to consider this point, and there are many things that I can't talk about .

She pondered for a moment, and said decisively, "One thing doesn't bother two masters, since that's the case, Shan Heng didn't hesitate to speak up."

He told Feng Jin the good news about Liu Niangzi without any hindrance. "Even the emperor doesn't know about this matter now, but it is beneficial to my cousin to be able to stabilize this child."

With Feng Jin's cleverness, of course he would not know that the more heirs the emperor has, the sooner he will be able to return to the emperor's full attention.

Besides, the emperor always wants to control the guests one day, if this day comes earlier than the day of Feng Jin's death - he will more or less leave a foreshadowing for the future.Stabilizing Liu Niangzi's pregnancy was a few hits for him, and there were many benefits.

Sure enough, Feng Jin's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Let me arrange this matter, which is more appropriate than letting Uncle Lian Shi arrange it. After all, Uncle Lian Shi comes in and out and spends more time with the emperor. He has kept many things from the emperor, and he feels a little bit sorry."

Seventh Lady smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "So what if my cousin tells the emperor?"

As Feng Jin, it is not difficult to know that Liu Niangzi is pregnant.Quan Zhongbai told him in private that it wasn't considered gossip.Although he refused to meet the emperor because of his own reasons, but not because of jealousy, he was willing to secretly protect Liu Niangzi's pregnancy. The emperor knew about it and was only moved by his tolerance and sacrifice.But now the harem is in chaos, presumably with the emperor's cunning, he will not risk the little embryo in Miss Liu's stomach that is likely to be a male. ——There is also the overt and secret care from the Ninth Five-Year Lord.

Xu Fengjia's words to persuade Feng Jin to soften him up were also based on the emperor's favor: this arrangement benefited several parties, and they all did favors for the emperor.Even if the emperor knew it was an affectation, it would be difficult for him not to appreciate his posture.It goes without saying how many benefits are contained in making the Ninth Five-Year Lord owe a favor.

Feng Jin thought for a while, then nodded and took a breath. "If Shanheng were a man, Zixiu would have no place to stand."
