The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 286 Returning to the Palace
Entering the capital, there is no scene of common people lining up to welcome him.Feng Yao knows that there are many officials who come and go to various places for disaster relief every year, and it is just a routine to go this trip by himself.Compared with those soldiers who returned with honor, it was really nothing.

Moreover, the people in the capital have long since lost the thought of being prepared for danger in times of peace. The prosperity of the capital makes the people here live better than those in other places.Naturally, no one thought that in the distance, under the same piece of heaven and earth, there are still tens of thousands of people suffering.

Feng Yao subconsciously sneered, his eyes hurt by this "prosperous" scene, and he felt that his trip was worth it, at least he knew what "suffering" is.

Xue Ying, who was walking on Feng Yao's left, suddenly stretched out her hand, and when no one was paying attention, she tugged at the corner of Feng Yao's clothes.Feng Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he followed Xue Ying's line of sight to look over, just in time to meet Qin Concubine's smile.

But Qin Concubine's smile was a bit chilling.Disdain?

Feng Yao withdrew his gaze, straightened his back and walked towards the palace.Walking on the main street in the south, you can already see the high palace wall and the opened Zifeng Chaoyang Gate.

The gate of the palace is tall and majestic, and there are really not many people who can walk through this main road due south.At least Feng Yao had never walked in with such an imposing manner before.

And the emperor has really come out to greet him, with two prime ministers on the left and right sides.Without Prince Yunchen?
Feng Yao didn't have time to think about it, he had already stepped forward quickly, and knelt straight in front of the emperor, "Yao'er is terrified, how can he come out of the palace with the grace of his father to greet him."

"Yao'er has lost a lot of weight." The emperor personally helped Feng Yao up, with a concerned smile.

The prime ministers and ministers from the left and right also saluted.Then a group of people entered the palace gate mightily.There is already a banquet in the palace, it seems that the emperor has already arranged it.

Feng Yao asked the emperor for leave, and had to go back to Yuexi Pavilion to change clothes.After all, it is disrespectful to the emperor to go to the banquet without cleaning up the dust all the way.

The emperor agrees.Then Feng Yao took Xue Ying and Zi Ying all the way to Yuexi Pavilion.

When Feng Yao changed into the palace clothes and returned to the banquet, only then did he see that the crown prince Yun Chen had arrived.Sitting on the seat below the emperor's left hand, he was talking to the emperor.

Feng Yao was led to the table by a servant, and the seat arranged was naturally on the right side of the emperor, opposite to Prince Yun Chen.It was then that the crown prince seemed to have discovered Feng Yao suddenly, and greeted with a smile: "How is Yao'er? As a brother, I really miss you."

"Let the emperor bother you, Yao'er is fine. I don't know why the emperor is late? Although Yao'er does not dare to bother the emperor to welcome him, she also wants to meet her relatives first." Feng Yao deliberately said The word "family" is very heavy.

"Yao'er doesn't know yet? It's my elder brother asking for orders from my father to be the appeasement envoy for you. The matter of opening the emperor's warehouse and planting the seeds this spring will be left to the emperor's brother. I was late just now, and it's too late." It is being transferred by the household department."

Feng Yao was taken aback by Yun Chen's words, she really didn't expect Yun Chen to leave behind when she came back.

But the emperor said: "Exactly. This palace banquet is to welcome Yao'er and see Chen'er off. Both your brother and sister have contributed to disaster relief and comfort to the people. This is the luck of my Feng Jue, yes The blessing of the people."

Yun Chen is leaving!Even if you are busy with rations, there is no need to leave in such a hurry, right?

Feng Yao didn't care what minister said at the palace banquet later, whether it was a greeting to Feng Yao, or a farewell message to Yun Chen, Feng Yao just pondered over the strangeness of this matter repeatedly in his heart.

And if he was one day late, wouldn't he already be leaving?Taking advantage of his absence, what did he hastily arrange?
Thinking of this, Feng Yao held up a glass of wine, and respected Yun Chen: "I wonder when the emperor will be on the road? Does Yao'er still have the opportunity to tell the emperor about his love for the past few months?"

"Don't be in a hurry, naturally there is still time, and I won't be leaving until the day after tomorrow. Brother Huang also just wanted to ask Yao'er about the situation in the north. I heard that Yao'er's trip is very beautiful. , How many corrupt officials have been removed for the emperor?"

Feng Yao held his wine glass and smiled: "Father is wise and the country is prosperous, so how can one or two black sheep be regarded as a cancer. Of course Yao'er dare not take credit for it, and doesn't think that going to two moths will do a lot to my Fengjue country Don't dare to dare to do so."

Feng Yao's words sounded modest, but actually he gave Yun Chen a slap on the face that was neither light nor heavy.Your prince thinks it's a big deal, and he said corrupt officials at the palace banquet.But which of these officials was not hand-picked by the emperor Zhu Bi, and who was not appointed by the Ministry of Officials?The prince's words seemed a little abrupt.

Sure enough, as soon as Feng Yao finished speaking, the faces of all the ministers accompanying him were not very good-looking.Those who praised the prince just now, and those who saw the prince off, also drooped their heads at this time, and drank in silence.

The emperor didn't speak all the time, seeing the silence of the crowd, he picked up the wine glass and said: "Chen'er is going to wipe my eyes for me, let's find some corrupt officials who are not big or small."

Yun Chen hurriedly said: "That's natural. Not to mention disaster relief and food distribution, it's the job of imperial envoys to clean up corrupt officials." This statement is tantamount to obliterating Feng Yao's achievements in a calm manner. A matter of duty.

Feng Yao smiled lightly, without arguing.However, no one said much at the palace banquet afterwards, and the atmosphere seemed much calmer.

When the palace banquet was over, Feng Yao said that he drank too much and was overwhelmed by alcohol, and wanted to stay in Yuexi Pavilion to rest for a night.The emperor naturally agreed, and said with a smile: "This imperial palace is your natal family, Yuexi Pavilion is Yao'er's boudoir, you can live there whenever you want."

"Thank you, Father. Yao'er has one more request, and I hope Father will fulfill it."

"Oh? Yao'er, let's talk." The emperor frowned, unable to think of what Feng Yao's sudden and serious request would be.

Of course, the emperor also knew that Feng Yao would not take advantage of the opportunity to ask for some kind of reward, that would be after tomorrow's court, and rewards for meritorious deeds were naturally indispensable.

"Yao'er wants to go to Suqing Garden to see Concubine Jin."

Concubine Jin is Yun Che's mother and concubine. She once killed Wu Guiren, who was pregnant with a dragon bell, because of a fight for favor, and she was thrown into the cold palace.

The emperor naturally still remembered Concubine Jin, so his brows frowned.

Feng Yao hurriedly said: "Father must also know about the poisoning and death of Concubine Fang. Yao'er just wants to do her own thing, to appease her, and has no other intentions."

After all, Fang is Concubine Jin's daughter-in-law, so it makes sense to say so.The emperor nodded after hearing this, and the palace banquet was completely over.

Feng Yao went back to Yuexi Pavilion and changed into light clothes, and immediately asked two servants to carry the lanterns, and followed her to Suqing Garden.Tomorrow morning there is an early court, Feng Yao wants to arrange some things as soon as possible.

　Next time slot, 12:[-] noon.
