Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 24
"En." As Shangguan Wanchun put down the book in her hand, she sat up and saw Yan Cui's unyielding appearance without any surprise, and her small cherry-like mouth was still pouted upwards.

"What's the matter? Who made you unhappy?" Shangguan Wanchun asked with a playful smile.

"Miss, how can you still laugh?" Yan Cui curled her lips and said unhappily.

After these few days of getting along, Yan Cui is no longer afraid of Shangguan Wanchun, and gradually returns to her original appearance.Although the current Shangguan Wanchun is somewhat different from the original one, she is still kind-hearted.Yan Cui took Shangguan Wanchun's indifference and indifference for granted. She felt that anyone would change after experiencing these things. What made her happy was that when her Fourth Miss came back, she didn't mention the original uncle-to-be, and she didn't look sad at all.

Shangguan Wanchun was very strange about Yan Cui's question, she didn't understand what was wrong with Yan Cui, why did she say something she couldn't understand.

Seeing Shangguan Wanchun looking at her suspiciously, Yan Cui was so anxious, she quickly turned to Shangguan Wanchun and said anxiously: "Miss, when I went to the kitchen to serve you porridge with white fungus and lotus seeds , I heard them say that the master came out of the fourth aunt's room the morning before yesterday, and then went directly to the morning court."

"En." Shangguan Wanchun nodded calmly. In fact, she had already guessed that although Shangguanhe is the prime minister, some things and people are not what he wants.It's just that I don't know what will happen if my mother finds out?Will mother still be sad?
"Miss, do you know?" Yan Cui asked with her mouth wide open looking at her calm expression.

"I don't know." Shangguan Wanchun said flatly.

"Oh, I thought you knew? But why aren't you angry at all?" Yan Cui muttered softly.

Shangguan Wanchun couldn't help laughing at Yan Cui's muttering, then got up and walked into the house.

"Miss, wait for me! I haven't finished yet!" Yan Cui shouted at Shangguan Wanchun's back, and then chased after her.

"Miss, you don't know. Now everyone is talking about the fact that the master punished the fourth concubine and the fifth lady in the front hall that day. Damn, she also said that the position of the main house will be hers sooner or later! This is really pissing me off! Huh!" Yan Cui was so angry that her cheeks were flushed, and she kept fanning herself with her hands, as if it was very hot .

Shangguan Wanchun turned around helplessly, and asked with a faint smile, "Yan Cui, where's the white fungus and lotus seed porridge you serve?"

"Ah, I got so angry that I forgot the porridge." Yan Cui slapped her forehead as she spoke, and immediately turned and ran outside.

Shangguan Wanchun was speechless at her turmoil, and hastily called out to her: "Wait a minute."

Yan Cui stopped and turned around, thinking that Shangguan Wanchun wanted to ask her where she was going, and replied with a smile: "Miss, um, I'll go to the kitchen and bring you porridge."

"No need." Shangguan Wanchun said gently.

"But……"

"It's okay, just don't forget next time."

"Well, yes, there won't be a next time, hehe." Yan Cui said shyly scratching her head.

"Lin'er, come here and help me up." Fourth Aunt pointed to the maid standing beside her and instructed.

"Yes." Said the maid came over.

Although the fourth aunt was too hard-pressed and lost face, but after Shangguanhe came to visit her that day and spent the night with her, her back straightened again, and her arrogant arrogance became more and more serious High, so high that it almost set the roof on fire.

At that time, Shangguanhe went to the morning court, when most of the people were still sleeping, and there were very few people who could see him go out from the fourth aunt, so the things that people talk about now are all sent by her spread out.

"I've been lying in bed for the past few days, and I'm almost moldy, why don't you help me out for a walk?" Fourth Aunt continued.Shangguanhe not only came to see her that time, but also gave her the golden sore medicine that the emperor gave him. After seeing it, she could say that her eyes were staring like gold stars, and her eyes were straight.

"Yes." Said the servant girl gently supported her waist.

"Oh, take it easy, are you going to die?" Fourth Aunt shouted with her eyes wide open.

"I'm sorry Ma'am, this servant didn't do it on purpose, Madam please punish me." She was about to kneel down as she spoke.

"Okay, okay, be careful." The fourth aunt said angrily. You must know that once the maid kneels down, she will lose a point of support, and she will definitely not be able to stand stably. She didn't touch her wound, she said so on purpose.

"Come on, help me to Miss Fifth's place." Fourth Aunt continued.

"Yes."

Shan Lingyuan.

"Get out, get out of here!" Then there was a crackling sound.

No need to think about it, this Fifth Miss Shangguan Wanshan must be throwing something again.

"Shan'er, who made you angry?" The fourth aunt heard the voice from the room too far away, and in order not to affect her, she stopped not far from the door, Said to the house.

When Shangguan Wanshan heard the voice of the Fourth Aunt, she hurriedly ran to the door and opened it, she threw herself into her arms crying and coquettishly, and said softly: "Mother, I miss you so much, Mother, you Are you okay?"

"Oh, Shan'er is good, don't cry, isn't your mother doing well? It's you, fortunately, my mother has someone to support me, otherwise I would have been knocked to the ground by you." Fourth Aunt said lovingly.

"Mother, please talk to your father carefully, don't stop me, okay?" Shangguan Wanshan raised her head and said aggrievedly.

The fourth aunt looked at the other people around with a cold face, and the others retreated one after another when they saw this, leaving only their mother and daughter.

Shangguan Wanshan knew that she shouldn't say this in front of so many people, so she shut up obediently and helped the fourth aunt to walk into the house.

"Shan'er, it's not that mother didn't mention it, it's just that your father is still angry. After a while, mother will tell you more about it. Be good!" The fourth aunt stroked Shangguan Wanshan's forehead previous broken hair.

"Well. Thank you, mother!"

"Stupid child, thank you, you are my mother's darling! Who can I help if my mother doesn't help you?" Fourth Aunt smiled too much and hugged Shangguan Wanshan in her arms.

"By the way, Shan'er, did you receive the letter I sent to you?"

"Well, I got it, thanks to your reminder, mother." Shangguan Wanshan nodded seriously and said with a smile.

"Then did you eat on time?"

"Of course I have. You sent it to me, mother. Naturally, I want to have a good meal."

"Oh, mother didn't bring you that meal." The fourth aunt said with a sigh.

"Who is that?" Shangguan Wanshan thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Dad sent someone to send it?"

"Yeah. But Shan'er, you have to remember, don't call me daddy in front of people again, or you will suffer a lot, this time is an obvious example." The fourth aunt said too seriously.

"Understood, mother." Shangguan Wanshan said with a smile and touched the neck of the fourth concubine, and snuggled into the arms of the fourth concubine.However, the little hands hugging the Fourth Aunt were clenched tightly, with hatred shining in their eyes, and they thought bitterly: Shangguan Wanchun, if it wasn't for you, how could I have been grounded by my father? ?How could mother be beaten twenty boards?Shangguan Wanchun, I will definitely not make it easy for you! "

Shanghuang Kingdom, Liyang City Imperial Palace.

The winter rain will stop, and the frost will come.

The majestic and majestic palace stands in the center of Liyang City. The oppression and sacredness brought by the blue brick and red wall make ordinary people daunted.

On both sides of the vermilion palace gate, there is a row of Imperial Guard handles. They hold silver gleaming silver handles, and their expressions are very solemn.

The inner courtyard of the palace is strictly disciplined. The marble-paved road shines with dazzling golden light under the sunlight. On the bluestone bridge not far away, there are jade railings and lions in various poses, plus dragon carvings in front of the palace. , is very majestic.

Inside the hall of Dacheng Hall, it is resplendent and majestic. The civil and military ministers are separated on both sides, each performing their own duties, and the ones standing in the front are the relatives of the emperor, with a very arrogant posture.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, quietly listening to the ministers' reports, looking tired, and dozed off from time to time.The chief eunuch standing aside saw that he was very sleepy, but he didn't dare to make a fuss even though he was anxious, so he had to wait for the emperor to speak.

Shang Jitong, the emperor of Shanghuang Kingdom, has passed his forties, and his health has been deteriorating in recent years, especially recently, he often dozes off when he listens to it, and sometimes he does not go to court early for three or two days.

The minister who was playing the report saw that the emperor had not responded for a long time, so he raised his head boldly, only to find that the emperor had fallen asleep at some point.

"Your Majesty?" He stepped forward and raised his voice.

The minister who spoke was Lin Heng, the prime minister of Shanghuang Kingdom, the father of Concubine Shu of the Emperor, and the grandfather and grandson-in-law of the third prince Shang Junfeng. In his eyes, he usually acts arrogantly and arrogantly.

The emperor still didn't respond, it seemed that he was already fast asleep.

Prime Minister Lin Heng gave the third prince Shang Junfeng a wink, signaling him to help, so Shang Junfeng stood up and shouted: "Father?"

Amid the shouts of the two, Emperor Shang Jitong finally woke up after a thousand calls.

"Finished?" the emperor sat upright and said majestically.

"Report to the emperor, the minister is finished." Lin Heng replied respectfully.

"En." He said and waved to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch Li Yan understood, and immediately shouted loudly: "Report if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Han Ying, Minister of Rites, stood up.

"Qizou the emperor, I have something to say." Han Ying said respectfully.

"Speak." The emperor said impatiently.

"Yes." Han Ying continued: "Your Majesty, what I want to talk about is the marriage with Longyu Kingdom. Since the last time Longyu Kingdom sent someone to send a letter of credence, saying that the princess was suddenly ill and could not hold the wedding as scheduled, so the wedding date So I pushed it back, but now it has been nearly a month, presumably the princess has almost recovered from her illness, can I send envoys to Longyu Kingdom to discuss marriage matters?"

Before the emperor could answer, Prime Minister Lin Heng interjected, "Your Majesty, the matter of getting married is a very important matter, don't be hasty, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Regarding the matter of Princess Longyu's marriage to the fourth prince, he was 1 unhappy in his heart.If these four princes marry the princess of Longyu Kingdom, then his power will definitely grow bigger.However, the present prince is cowardly and incompetent, loves to drink, and usually does not care about politics. It will definitely increase great difficulties, and it will be very unfavorable for the third prince to ascend the throne, so he must do his best to prevent it.

The fourth prince, Shang Junyuan, took advantage of the emperor's hesitation, cut the mess quickly, and said: "Father, why don't you write a letter to the emperor of Longyu Kingdom and ask about the princess's condition, this will not only show the strength of our Shanghuang Kingdom. Caring, also let Long Yuguo understand our intentions, wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone and kill two birds with one stone!"

"Your Majesty, what the four princes said is true!" The Minister of Rites echoed, and then a small number of ministers also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
