Chapter 171

Yingchu asked Xun Feixing, "Do you want to be a concubine?"

Xun Feixing opened his mouth to say that he didn't want to, but the handsome face of Emperor Ming suddenly flashed in his mind, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, then waved his hand: "I don't know anything except martial arts, so I can't become an imperial concubine!"

Yingchu saw her expression and knew that Xun Feixing was already a little bit attracted to the emperor, but with her character, the harem was not a suitable place for her to live at all.

"What if the Empress Dowager says she wants to make you a concubine?" Yingchu asked again.

Xun Feixing hesitated a little longer this time, and said, "If, if this is the case, I can't refuse."

She hid it and laughed a few times: "But it's impossible, sister Hua, don't make fun of me!"

Yingchu said in a solemn tone: "The emperor is still young now, and there are not many concubines in the harem, but there will be more and more in the future. At that time, there will be countless intrigues. There will be many cases of framed and murdered people like today. If you want to continue practicing martial arts, you must It's almost impossible. Feixing, you have to think carefully about it."

The smile on Xun Feixing's face disappeared, and he said thoughtfully: "Thank you sister Hua for reminding me, I understand."

Later, Yingchu reminded her of the etiquette of visiting the Empress Dowager, and the two of them stopped talking. Xun Feixing lowered his head and thought about it all the way, and when they arrived at Xihe Palace, he still looked a little hesitant.

In Xihe Palace, not only the Empress Dowager is present, but also the Empress Dowager.

After Xun Feixing paid her respects, the Empress Dowager asked her some irrelevant questions, and the Empress Dowager kept examining her with critical eyes.

Xun Feixing's scalp felt a little tingly, and she acted unprecedentedly quiet. She felt that if her grandmother was here, she would definitely feel comforted by Lao Huai.

After a while, the Empress Dowager really mentioned that she was going to be made a concubine.

Xun Feixing was shocked, and the hesitation along the way just now disappeared immediately, leaving her trapped in such a gorgeous palace for the rest of her life, wearing cumbersome palace clothes and pretending to be quiet and gentle, she could no longer hold a sword, and could no longer ride a horse. Days like this are scary to think about.

Xun Feixing said that he was not worthy of Emperor Ming, and that the marriage was decided by his grandmother, and the Empress Dowager did not insist. She just examined Xun Feixing first, and finally had to meet the old lady Xun before making a decision.

The Empress Dowager had no objection, she was very dissatisfied with Xun Feixing's performance, if it wasn't for the fact that the emperor seemed to favor Xun Feixing, she would not have looked at this ignorant girl.

Emperor Ming soon received a report from his servants.

"Xun Feixing refused?" Emperor Ming asked.

The emperor's voice was difficult to discern, and the eunuchs below knelt on the ground, saying with a little fear: "Miss Xun said that she can't be the master, it depends on what the old matriarch Xun wants."

Emperor Ming waved his hand to let the eunuch back down.

The door of the imperial study room was closed, and Emperor Ming showed a slight sneer on his face: "Hua Yingchu."

Xun Feixing was just a little girl who hadn't experienced much in the world, and if she teased her casually, she would fall in love with her.Judging from Xun Feixing's previous performance, even if he didn't agree immediately, he wouldn't refuse. It's probably because Hua Yingchu's little fox said something to her that made her change her mind.

"Little fox, you should be punished." Emperor Ming said to himself, and put the matter behind him. Let's ignore it now. There is nothing he can't do.

Yingchu and Xun Feixing left the palace together, and as soon as they left the palace gate, they saw a familiar carriage.

Qi Changjin got out of the car, his voice was cold, but his eyes were gentle: "Yingchu, I'll take you home." Then he nodded slightly to Xun Feixing beside him.

Xun Feixing smiled narrowly at Yingchu, and said: "General Qi, I won't bother you, I'll go first."

She boarded the carriage of the Marshal's Mansion and poked her head out of the window: "Sister Hua, I'll go and play with you some other day."

"Waiting for you anytime." Yingchu said with a smile.

Xun Feixing waved goodbye to her and left here.

Yingchu said: "It's such a cold day, Mr. Qi doesn't need to pick me up."

"There's nothing left or right," Qi Changjin said, "It's windy outside, so let's talk after getting in the car."

Yingchu boarded the carriage with him one after the other, and just as she sat down, a warm pot was stuffed into her hand.

Yingchu has internal strength to protect her body, but she doesn't actually feel cold. Suddenly, there is a handful of warmth in her palm. She was taken aback for a while, and then smiled: "Thank you."

Yingchu buried her whole hands in the long fluff, and the warmth penetrated through the palms to the bottom of her heart.

The carriage moved slowly, but there was no jolt in the carriage. Qi Changjin poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Yingchu.

Yingchu thanked him again, picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, after drinking a cup of hot tea, he felt even more warm on his body.

"Just now in the palace, did it go well?" Qi Changjin asked.

Yingchu smiled and said, "Well, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are all focusing on Xun Feixing, and the Empress Dowager has no chance to embarrass me."

Qi Changjin's eyes were fixed: "The Empress Dowager wants to make Xun Feixing a concubine?"

"Xun Feixing refused," Yingchu said, "The old matriarch Xun probably doesn't want her to enter the palace either. After today, the old matriarch Xun should have made preparations earlier."

"Our emperor is not a person who will let it go." Qi Changjin said, "The emperor has been working hard to gather power in the past few years since he took the throne. Marshal Xun has half retired, and there is not much military power left in his hands. The generals are all his students, even my father has been taught by him. Marshal Xun also has a high prestige in many armies. If he can get the full support of Marshal Xun, the emperor will be able to subdue those soldiers more quickly and smoothly. Soldiers."

Yingchu's previous life was imprisoned for five years, and he had some gaps in his understanding of the affairs of the imperial court, but he had collected some information more or less in the past year and a half.

The first emperor died suddenly, and the Ming emperor's ascension to the throne was justifiable, but the other princes' henchmen did not have time to eradicate, so at the beginning of his enthronement, the throne was not secure.After a year of bloodshed in the imperial court, Emperor Ming killed a large number of people. In the past two years, his methods have been milder, but he still has a tight grip on power.

"Marshal Xun and the old lady must have their own ideas about this matter," Yingchu said, "We don't have to worry about it."

Qi Changjin nodded, the position of the Zhenguo Marshal's Mansion is stable, and the family is fairly peaceful, even if he rejects the emperor, the emperor cannot be easily shaken.

"Did that sniffer really find me through its breath?" Qi Changjin asked abruptly.

Yingchu's eyes flickered: "Why do you ask that?"

Qi Changjin looked at her: "I felt that when I held your hand, for a moment, I felt something strange."

Yingchu looked back at him, and smiled slowly: "That sniffer can distinguish the smell of different people, but it has not been domesticated, so it will not take the initiative to find people. So, I did do something wrong."
