Rebirth of the Concubine Fenghua

Chapter 266 Something Is Not Right
Feng Ruotong just smiled and said nothing, Tao Yue is indeed a smart person, he used her phrase "to attack the unprepared" to the extreme, he knocked people down as soon as he got started, he didn't even need to fight, and won the round neatly .

"Okay!" Emperor Jingxi couldn't help his Longyan joy, and took the lead to praise, "Eleventh Brother, your subordinates are indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, hahaha!"

Helian is proud, of course, and the most important thing is that I have the magic weapon Ruotong, of course I am invincible! "Thank you, brother!"

Princess Xinyang clapped her hands happily, "Win again! Win again!"

The officials are even more willing to see Langya Kingdom make a fool of themselves. Except for the accident that Helian Tianyu took the initiative, everyone else is really happy, and everyone is smiling. Looking at Xiao Jinghan, there is also obvious sympathy: "It's hard for Prince Xiao!" He was arrogant from the very beginning, and he knew how to give Tianlong Kingdom a bad start, but if he lost like this, how would he end up.

Xiao Jinghan's face turned red and white, and he stood up suddenly, "This round doesn't count!"

He Lianao's face turned cold, "Prince Xiao, are you going to play tricks again? The winner or loser has already been decided, why not count?"

Xiao Jing was so cold that he was almost speechless: what does it mean to be cheating "again", it's obviously Tianlong Kingdom cheating, what kind of fight is this? "My lord, your people succeeded in sneak attack, how can such a result count?"

"Sneak attack?" He Lianao sneered mockingly, "This is called 'control the enemy first', does Prince Xiao understand? What's more, just now, my subordinates reminded me again and again, asking if your subordinates are ready, and he himself said yes , this doesn’t count, does it count if the king’s subordinates tie up their hands and let your subordinates fall down?”

"Hahaha..." The officials burst out laughing, especially some young generals, most of whom were promoted by Helian Ao, they all slapped the table and booed in solidarity with him, the scene was quite lively.

Xiao Jinghan was speechless immediately, his face flushed red, he had indeed seen the situation just now, it was really unjustifiable to say that the other party was cheating, but Su Li lost like this, and he was really wronged, how could he step down!

Emperor Jingxi didn't want him to be too embarrassed, after all, Langya Kingdom came to make a marriage, and the situation should not be too rigid, he waved his hand, "Forget it, Prince Xiao, this time is just for fun, winning or losing is not important, Prince Xiao Why take it too seriously?"

Xiao Jinghan took a deep breath, and suddenly laughed, "Exactly! Xiao Wang originally meant the same thing, winning or losing doesn't matter, as long as the emperor is happy, but Xiao Wang's poor skills make the emperor laugh, ashamed!"

"Prince Xiao is polite, please sit down." Emperor Jingxi smiled, then greeted the officials to eat and drink, and continued to enjoy the singing and dancing.

As for Su Li, Xiao Jinghan's guards had already stepped forward to drag him down, and he also blushed with embarrassment, not daring to raise his head.

After everyone has enjoyed themselves, the banquet will be over, and today's banquet is just to clean up the dust for Langya Kingdom and his party, and the matter of marriage will not be too late to discuss tomorrow.

Brother and sister Xiao Jinghan left the palace under the escort of the guards. Emperor Jingxi and Empress Yue also returned to the palace to rest without mentioning it.

"Ruotong, I'll take you to play." He Lianao was in a good mood, he took Feng Ruotong's hand and left. Today, he made a great contribution to his dear concubine, and he will have to ask the emperor for a reward later.

Feng Ruotong will let him go, anyway, he has entered the palace today, so it's not bad just to enjoy the scenery in the palace. "Okay, as long as the prince is happy."

Princess Xinyang curled her lips, "Yoyo, you don't have to avoid people anymore, do you? Brother Eleven, Ruotong, go on a tryst. I'm tired, so I have to go home first."

Feng Ruotong blushed, embarrassed to look at her, and lowered her body to salute, "Send off the princess."

"Let's go, are you looking for a fight?" Helian Ao happily pushed Princess Xinyang aside, led Feng Ruotong and left.

Princess Xinyang scolded with a smile, "Brother Eleven, you scoundrel! Take care of Ruotong, if there is anything wrong with her, you are the only one I will ask!"

Helianao turned his back to her and gestured: You need to say it.

The two walked hand in hand, Jiang Yi came over to apologize, "My lord, this subordinate is incompetent."

"It's okay, if you don't lose this game, Prince Xiao won't be complacent, it's reasonable," He Lianao's rule is very strict, but rewards and punishments are clear, not to mention Jiang Yi's loss is not due to lack of ability, how could he Punishment is the confidant, "The thousand taels of gold rewarded by the emperor's brother is natural. Nan Jin and Tao Yue are 300 taels each, and you are 400 taels."

Jiang Yi was sweating like rain, and even if he lost, he would get more rewards. Only the master could do such a thing, right?Knowing that it is useless to refuse, he can only thank you, "Thank you, my lord, my subordinate will leave."

Feng Ruotong couldn't help laughing and said, "The prince really knows how to buy people's hearts, no wonder they follow the prince wholeheartedly and will never give up." Looking back, Nan Jin and Tao Yue were patting Jiang Yi's shoulder from left to right and talking about something , The three of them all smiled boldly. This kind of brotherhood of life and death is quite enviable.

Helian smiled proudly, "It's not about buying people's hearts, it's about rewarding merit. But Ruotong, when it comes to merit, today you deserve the most credit. Tell me, what reward do you want, I will give it to you. If I don't have it, I will give it to you." Let the emperor reward you."

Feng Ruotong secretly said "ashamed", if she didn't have the memory of her previous life, she would definitely not be able to help today, it would be good if she wasn't suspected by this guy, how dare she take credit for it? "No need, I have some merits, it's just a few nonsense words, don't say in front of the emperor whether to reward or not, let the emperor laugh at you."

He Lianao said disapprovingly, "What's the joke? If it wasn't for you, Xiao Jinghan would be proud today. If nothing else, if the gunpowder exploded—"

"Ah, that's right." Feng Ruotong felt that something had been overlooked, and after he said it, he immediately woke up, "I didn't want you to keep some gunpowder secretly, did you keep it?"

"Of course," Helian Ao's eyes suddenly sharpened, "I didn't expect that Langya Kingdom could develop such a powerful thing. I'll let my subordinates see if they can imitate it." He didn't know how to praise her for all the credit.

"That's good," Feng Ruotong was relieved and reminded, "My lord, the gunpowder must be very powerful, and it must not be ignited by mistake. You should arrange it properly first, preferably before Prince Xiao leaves. , can have a result, and then..."

Helian Ao's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "I understand, Ruotong, you are really not simple, I'll go right away!" After saying that, he was a little hesitant, the development of gunpowder is too dangerous, and it's not easy to bring Ruotong together. It's suitable, but it's not good to leave her alone, should I send her back first.

It happened that Feng Yuanliang came over, and said politely, "I have seen the prince."

"There is no need to be too polite," Helian Ao felt relieved, "Master Feng, I have something to deal with, Ruotong will be brought back by you, I will go first."

Feng Yuanliang said respectfully, "Yes, send off the prince respectfully."

"Ruotong, I'll visit you later, remember to think about what reward you want." Helian Ao winked at her before turning around and striding away.

Feng Ruotong couldn't stop laughing, in front of his father, this guy didn't know how to restrain himself, really! "Father, shall we go back now?"

Feng Yuanliang suddenly raised his face, "Ruotong, why didn't you tell me that you were coming to the palace for a banquet? After all, you and Tie Wang have no name and identity, so you openly sat with him, did you think about the consequences? ?”

The reputation of the daughter's family is very important, although he can also see that Tie Wang is not just playing around with Ruotong, but he has to go in and out after getting married, right, it's not good to have nothing to hide now.

Feng Ruotong blushed, and said helplessly, "Father calm down, I don't want to, but you know the prince's temperament, I can't refuse."

Feng Yuanliang was angry for a while, but in the end he was not willing to speak too harshly to her, and sighed, "You, you are so young, you can't imagine how serious the consequences will be. Forget it, let me explain to the prince, that's all. Let's go Let's go back to the house and talk about it."

"Yes, father." Feng Ruotong stuck out her tongue at her father's back, it would be strange for that guy to listen to you, besides, he has already yelled that everyone in the capital knows that she is his unmarried concubine, her reputation It has already been ruined in his hands, so he still cares about this one or two times?

The father and daughter were walking and talking all the way, when a court lady came over suddenly, "I have met Mrs. Feng. The Empress Dowager summoned Miss Ruotong."

"Oh?" Feng Yuanliang frowned, "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?" The Empress Dowager did not show up at today's banquet, so she probably didn't know that Ruo Tong had also entered the palace, so why was she summoned suddenly?
The maid said, "I don't know, the maidservant, the queen mother only ordered Miss Ruotong to go to see her, and did not order anything else."

Since it was summoned by the Empress Dowager, Feng Yuanliang couldn't object, and said, "Ruotong, let's go, I'll go with you." In case Ruotong couldn't speak and offended the Empress Dowager, he could point it out from the side.

Before Feng Ruotong could speak, the maid stopped her, "Master Feng, please forgive me, the queen mother only summoned Miss Ruotong."

"This..." Feng Yuanliang hesitated for a while, although he was worried, but since the queen mother summoned him, he probably wouldn't do anything to Ruotong, so he nodded, "Forget it, Ruotong, answer carefully in front of the queen mother , I'll wait for you here."

"Yes, father." Feng Ruotong replied, "Please lead the way."

The maid stepped aside, "Miss Ruotong, please."

Looking at his daughter's back, Feng Yuanliang felt uneasy. Today, his daughter entered the palace with King Iron, and Xiang Jin did not follow him. If something happens, I wonder if she can handle it?
The palace maid led Feng Ruotong up a secluded path, the more she walked, the more there was no sound of people, the quietness made one's heart shudder.

"Sister, are you going to Yongshou Palace?" Feng Ruotong looked around, already feeling vigilant, "I remember the last time I met the Empress Dowager, didn't I go this way?"

The palace maid smiled a little reservedly, "Miss Ruotong doesn't know something. The roads in the palace extend in all directions. Going to Yongshou Palace from here can save a lot of time and avoid the empress dowager waiting for a long time."

Feng Ruotong already saw that something was wrong, and said calmly, "It turns out that this is the case, my sister has served the Queen Mother for a long time, and I can really figure out the Queen Mother's mind."

The palace maid smiled again, "Whoever works in the palace should not try to figure out what the master wants, I'll make Miss Ruotong laugh at you."

Feng Ruotong stopped suddenly, her eyes turned cold instantly.
