Chapter 276 The Taste of the Cold Stove
Newcomer?
Fang Xuan couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.
It’s not that she is jealous, but who would be willing to come in and share her favor, which is not good for her status.
I just thought so in my heart, but couldn't say that on my lips, and I just frowned.
"Why are you going to add more people now? I remember that this year I haven't chosen every three years."
The palace is full of three years of selection, not only for the emperor to choose people, but also for the royal family members.
Pei Yao took a sip of tea, and the smile on his face also decreased a little, and he said in a deep voice.
"It's the queen's meaning, which means that the king and Dun have been awarded the title. The backyard should be added, and there are fewer women here. Adding more is also beneficial to the offspring. The emperor's uncle naturally agreed."
Now that Prime Minister Li has been exiled, Empress Li fell ill, and she was in turmoil for the position of Minister of Revenue. Emperor Chengjing was also annoyed, so he naturally nodded directly for such a trivial matter.
"In this way, I'm afraid there are also people who have been selected this time like Feng's." Fang Yoong said.
"Great opportunity, how could she let it go?"
A trace of disgust flashed in Pei Yao's eyes.
Indeed, too.
Empress Li is more difficult to deal with than her father, Prime Minister Li.
"Forget it, the soldiers come to stop him. I want to see how many tricks she has to play with." Pei Yao said coldly.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Fang Yoon also held back his curiosity and did not continue the topic.
He turned around and said, "I heard that Prime Minister Li was sentenced to exile, but I wonder if he is on the way now?"
"I may not go there if I say it's exile. Now I'm lying at home because of illness. The emperor said that he had made merit in the past and was allowed to go there after he recovered." Pei Yao sneered.
This is bright and partial.
But Li Mu was hit by this and was old. Even if he was not exiled, it would probably take away most of his life. It would be uncommon for Li Mu to say that he would be gone.
So Pei Yao did not hold on to this, and forced Emperor Chengjing to deal with it immediately.
Fang Xuan nodded when she heard this, "Let him go, there will be a heavenly summon. Your Highness will try this snack. Qingrong specially made it to coax me to take medicine. It is a bit sweet, but not greasy."
As he said that, he pushed the plate at hand forward.
Pei Yao actually doesn't like sweets, but now he still gives him a piece of food for face.
"Why is this new drug so bitter?"
"That's not true, but the medicine is bitter."
Fang Yoon was helpless, then turned to smile sweetly, and said with a somewhat flattering look.
"The intention of this medicine is that I can drink it even if I have a hard time."
Seeing her intentional little look, Pei Yao shook his head and chuckled.
"You are the best at coaxing people."
"Where do I have?" Fang Xuan's eyes were curved, "To be honest, I have made a few new sachets recently, and put them in the imperial doctor's prescription with refreshing incense balls. Your Highness smelled it.
Do you like it or not?”
As he said that, he waved his hand and called the maid in.
Soon, an exquisite sachet was handed to Pei Yao.
Pei Yao picked it up and smelled it, and he also gave him a lot of face and tied it directly to his body.
"You are the most meticulous in the backyard. Whenever I feel uneasy, I want to come to you to sit there."
Until now, Pei Yao could not feel that Fang Yoong was making him happy every step.
It is fake to say that you are not warm in your heart.
Especially Fang Yoon Conghui did not ask too much, but just observed his expression and did these things silently.
Pei Yao is very helpful to this point.
Fang Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, "It is also my blessing to relieve your highness's worries."
"Okay, I still have something to do. I will come to see you the next day." Pei Yao smiled and stood up.
I came over and wandered around and felt almost relieved. It was time to go back to deal with government affairs.
Fang Xuan had no feelings about knowing about Yuhua, just a matter of duty.
So he sent the person out gently and obediently.
But when he turned around and returned to the room, he left Qingrong alone.
"There are no news from Aunt Qiao and Aunt Rong during this period. Please contact them and ask me what I had explained before. In addition, Ci'en's side, finally ask her about her wishes."
"yes."
Qingrong nodded and retreated silently.
evening.
In a dilapidated courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, the little maid opened the gate with brisk steps, entered the courtyard, and locked the door neatly, and then quickly walked into the room in the south.
As soon as I approached, I heard a violent cough from a woman in the room and a girl with anxious and worried voices.
"Mom, be careful, come and have some hot water."
"Madam, girl."
The little maid entered the room and hurriedly poured a cup of warm water from the small stove and handed it over.
The girl looked at her sixteen-year-old age and her beautiful face was full of worry. She took the water and carefully fed it to the woman who was leaning against the pillow on the couch.
The woman's face was withered, her eyes were turbid, and her hair was even gray. She could tell that she was a person who had been sleeping for a long time.
If the girl hadn't called her to be her mother, others would probably think she was her grandmother.
After drinking water, the woman lay down weakly. Then the girl glanced at the little maid, then tucked the corner of the quilt for the woman, and slowly took the maid out of the room.
"What's the news?" asked the girl.
The little maid pursed her lips, "In the East Palace, Fang Liangdi said, please think about it again at the end, she won't force the girl to do this."
It turns out that this girl is Fang Ci'en, the sister of Fang Yoon's clan.
"I don't have the chance to consider it." Fang Ci'en smiled bitterly, but there was cold light and hatred in her eyes. "Even if she didn't pick me, the clan had sent someone to hand me the news, and it was probably the helpless one.
The orphan girl went into the Ming Prince's Mansion and was favored. Instead of being used as a chess piece by me by them, it would be better to cooperate with Fang Liangdi."
Speaking of clan, Fang Ci'en's hand holding the handkerchief became tighter and tighter.
Her family was also good at the beginning. Although his father was not prominent in his career, he also took care of the family and lived a prosperous life.
Later, my brother also went to the Hanlin Academy to become an official, which was also a noble person.
But all this was ruined by Fang Hongshen.
He planned for the eldest prince and deceived and used Fang Ci'en's father. Later, he accidentally made a mistake and needed to take out a scapegoat. So Fang Hongshen threatened her brother and her future and forced his father to come out to take the blame.
For the sake of his children, Fang Ci'en's father took all the blame and lost his life.
But Fang Hongshen did not keep his promise and treated their family well. Instead, he said that her father was a treacherous villain and that he was a righteous act of destroying his relatives for justice.
Fang Hong was senior and senior, so the people in the clan naturally spoke to him.
Later, Fang Ci'en's brother was unbearable in his heart and wanted to expose Fang Hongshen's crime, but he was actually killed by Fang Hongshen's design.
It is said that he was robbed of wealth by bandits and had no complete corpse to die.
For this reason, Fang Ci'en's mother cried and couldn't afford to get sick.
When the rest of the clan saw that the man had no family, they forcibly occupied their property and drove the two of them here.
If it weren't for the maid Qiaoer who grew up with her, it would be even more difficult for Fang Ci'en to take care of her sick mother alone.
There was such hatred, so when Fang Yoon contacted her first, she was already determined to take this path.
Strong pets, chess pieces.
