Chapter 276 Red Eyes
"Your concubine respectfully bids farewell to the Imperial Concubine." Feng Zhaoyi stood up and looked at Gu Shijin's leaving back, her eyes flickering.
Now she could neither understand the emperor nor Gu Shijin.
She had been in the palace for quite some time and had been looking for opportunities to meet Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen was too cautious and always refused with the excuse of feeling unwell.
Today she appeared in front of Concubine Chen on purpose, and her words were also intentional, but Concubine Chen didn't seem to care at all.
Of course Gu Shijin didn't care. She had never considered Lu Junze as her husband, nor did she like him from the bottom of her heart. Naturally, she wouldn't feel bad about such a thing.
As an emperor, it is Lu Junze's duty to favor his concubines.
As for what kind of feelings Gu Shijin has for Lu Junze, he probably sees him more as a partner, a tool for him to climb up and live a better life in the harem.
Of course, Gu Shijin also regards Lu Junze as the father of her child. Children need a father to grow up, even if this father is imperfect. She hopes that her child will have a relatively perfect childhood.
Fortunately, Lu Junze is relatively competent as a father.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Feng did it on purpose." Xingyue supported Gu Shijin and said somewhat aggrievedly.
Gu Shijin looked at Xingyue in surprise, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Now you know that Feng Zhaoyi did it on purpose."
Xingyue knew that the queen was deliberately making fun of her, but she was not annoyed, "Queen, why did Feng Zhaoyi do this?"
why?
To show how favored they are. Aren't the women in this palace just doing these few things?
"Don't worry about her." Gu Shijin said, "As long as she doesn't offend me."
The most important thing for her now is to take good care of herself and give birth to the baby safely. She doesn't want to care about these people for the time being, as she will have plenty of time in the future.
……
"Lord Li, what's the matter that makes you so anxious to see me?" Lu Junze said to Lord Li, the Minister of War, who was kneeling below.
"Your Majesty, there are unusual changes in the virtuous king's fiefdom." Lord Li said.
As soon as he received the news, he rushed to report to the emperor, fearing that he would be too late.
Hearing Lord Li's words, a smile flashed in Lu Junze's eyes. It seems that the Minister of War is still his Minister of War.
"Oh? What happened?" Lu Junze said.
Although Lord Li noticed that Lu Junze's tone was a little wrong, he didn't think much about it. He said: "Your Majesty, nearly a hundred people from the Xianwang's fiefdom have come to Jiangnan one after another. These people..."
Lu Junze nodded as he listened. What he said was something Lu Junze already knew, and he had already prepared for it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Li." Lu Junze said.
Lord Li raised his head and glanced at Lu Junze. In a flash, he suddenly thought of something. The action of the virtuous king to enfeoff the land was so obvious. The emperor should not have waited for him to report it. The emperor should have known it long ago.
Lord Li's heart trembled. It was clearly March, but his back was already wet with sweat.
If he hadn't come to report this matter today, the consequences... would have been disastrous.
"Sir Li, does anyone else know about this?" Lu Junze asked.
"Your Majesty, apart from me, the only one who knows about this is the spy who came to report." Lord Li came to see the emperor as soon as he received the news, without telling anyone.
"it is good."
Lu Junze: "Lord Li, go back with peace of mind. Don't tell anyone else about this. I have my own plans."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lord Li's legs were a little weak when he left the room. It seemed that the incident with Concubine Li had affected the emperor's trust in the Li family. Fortunately, the Li family had never had any bad intentions and was loyal to the emperor.
"The weather is going to change." Lord Li looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
It was amazing that as soon as he finished speaking, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.
……
"Empress, it's raining. Let's go back quickly." Wu Yun, the maid of Feng Zhaoyi, said as she looked at the sky that suddenly changed.
Her mother-in-law had no room on this ship and had to go back to another ship.
Feng Zhaoyi looked up at the sky, suddenly smiled, and said, "Take the cakes that the imperial kitchen just made, I'm going to go find the emperor."
Wu Yun glanced at Feng Zhaoyi, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she still did as Feng Zhaoyi instructed.
She was just an insignificant palace maid and could not change her queen's decision.
Because it was raining, Lu Junze did not leave the study after Lord Li left. At this moment, when he heard Su Deyuan say that Feng Zhaoyi was old, Lu Junze asked in confusion: "Isn't it raining outside?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lu Junze paused while flipping through the book and said, "Let her in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Greetings to His Majesty, may the Emperor be blessed with good health." Feng Zhaoyi bowed gracefully. Because of the rain, she looked very weak.
It’s just a pity that Lu Junze couldn’t appreciate it.
"Why is Feng Zhaoyi here?" Lu Junze continued flipping through the book without even raising his head.
Feng Zhaoyi took a deep breath and said with a grievance: "Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen has made some cakes. I will bring some to Your Majesty."
"Put it there." Lu Junze pointed at the table.
After Feng Zhaoyi put the food on the table, she found that Lu Junze had no intention of moving it, so she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, don't you want to try it?"
Lu Junze finally raised his head and looked at Feng Zhaoyi. He said, "Feng Zhaoyi thinks that the imperial kitchen will not send the cakes to me if they are made?"
Feng Zhaoyi's body stiffened, and she looked at Lu Junze with a hint of disbelief.
Lu Junze didn't want to pay attention to Feng Zhaoyi just now. After all, she was a woman, and he still wanted to save her some face. But this person really couldn't read other people's faces, so it was none of her business.
"If there is nothing else, please leave." Lu Junze said.
Feng Zhaoyi's eyes turned red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I will take my leave."
There are no secrets in the harem, let alone after leaving the harem.
The news that Feng Zhaoyi walked out of the emperor's study with red eyes quickly spread among the women in the harem like the wind.
Upon hearing this, Empress Shangguan Yan sneered. This Concubine Feng had no sense of propriety. Did she think that she could do whatever she wanted in the harem as long as she had the emperor's favor?
Don’t you see that Concubine Chen is so favored by the Emperor, yet she is still well-behaved?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Concubine Feng won't be able to be happy now." Yun Zhi said.
Shangguan Yan smiled and said, "Feng Zhaoyi is the niece of the Queen Mother. Who knows?"
"My queen, doesn't the queen mother have a niece?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. What matters is that everyone thinks so."
The concubine's niece, Lady Wen, also heard about this and was extremely happy.
"You deserve it." Wen Guiren said.
Originally, she had no chance to come on this southern tour. It was only because the Concubine Dowager pleaded with the Empress Dowager on her behalf that she was able to come.
