Chapter 106: It’s not true to predict the outcome of a game
"Your Majesty, this is Longan Sichuan Dan Tang. It's just right for your mouth. I'll serve you and drink it!" Bishu came over and said holding a small bowl of Geyao Kui mouth.
Concubine Fu took a few sips from her hand and said, "That's enough."
Bishu put down the bowl and carefully wiped Concubine Fu's lips with a handkerchief.
"Call Hengzhao in," Fu Fei said, "just ask her to come in alone, you don't have to follow."
Bishu agreed, took the bowl and went out.
Said to Xue Hengzhao: "The empress asked you to come in."
Xue Hengzhao looked as usual, but he knew in his heart that it might have affected whether he could stay here any longer.
Concubine Fu doesn't like strong aromas, so she only burns a pot of incense when the weather is hot or humid.
I also don’t like bright and complicated colors and patterns
Therefore, her house always looks extremely simple.
"Empress." Xue Hengzhao came to Fu Fei and called softly.
Concubine Fu did not speak, but looked at Xue Hengzhao steadily for a long time with her calm eyes.
Of course, Xue Hengzhao couldn't look at Concubine Fu. She lowered her head slightly and just stood quietly.
"Do you know how dangerous what happened today is?" Concubine Fu asked.
"I know this, and I'm scared to death." Xue Hengzhao said.
"When we were in the imperial hospital, the imperial doctor said that he wanted to replace the county lord with prosthetic eyes. The county lord kept saying that he wanted your eyes. Why did you hate the county lord?" Concubine Fu stopped here and waited for Xue Hengzhao to speak. When she was in Taiyuan Hospital, Yao Wanyi kept trying to gouge out Xue Hengzhao's eyes, which made Concubine Fu very uneasy.
She vaguely felt that today's incident was related to Xue Hengzhao, but she was not sure.
"I don't know why, and I have never even said a word to the county master." Xue Hengzhao shook his head.
Some things cannot be said.
This matter has nothing to do with Concubine Fu, so it’s better that she didn’t know about it.
If she knew, it would only do her harm but no good.
"Have you really never offended her?" Concubine Fu asked again.
"How dare I dare? Before I entered the palace, I served my grandmother in Dongdu all the year round and had little connection with people in the capital," Xue Hengzhao confessed, "Not to mention that now my slave has a low status, is cautious and afraid of making mistakes, how can I dare to take the initiative to provoke her? The county master is so honorable and favored that even if the slaves want to curry favor with him, they can’t do it, and even if they want to offend him, they can’t afford to offend him.”
Concubine Fu naturally knew that Yao Wanyi was arrogant and domineering, and she would definitely make things difficult for anyone she disliked, unless the other person's status was higher than hers.
Maybe Yao Wanyi said she wanted Xue Hengzhao’s eyes just because Xue Hengzhao’s eyes were beautiful.
Anyway, with Xue Hengzhao’s status, it is absolutely impossible for him to take the initiative to provoke Yao Wanyi.
"Well, since you don't know, then forget it. I have already advised you in front of the queen, and I will not use human eyes anymore." The doubts in Concubine Fu's heart were also dispelled.
Xue Hengzhao is not a frivolous person, on the contrary, she is rare and steady.
"My slave, I would like to thank you for your great kindness. You have eliminated this unnecessary disaster for me.
But after all, it has caused trouble to the empress. If County Master Yao still wants to do anything to me, I will never bring trouble to the empress." Xue Hengzhao said and knelt down.
"Get up! You don't have to be like this. Once you come here, you are a meritorious person with me. If I can protect you, I will naturally protect you.
Secondly, if you really do something wrong, you will be punished according to the palace rules." Concubine Fu said.
The implication is that Yao Wanyi’s attempt to embarrass Xue Hengzhao out of thin air will not work.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I know this." Xue Hengzhao felt more and more that he had not made a mistake.
Concubine Fu is a person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She is just used to not fighting or grabbing, but she is by no means a soft persimmon as people think.
This makes Xue Hengzhao more confident about the future.
"Oh, who would have thought that something like this would happen today? It's really scary to think about it." Concubine Fu sighed as she spoke. No matter what, it happened in her Furong Palace.
"Everyone feels sad when something like this happens, but firstly, it was not the empress who took the lead in this matter. Secondly, the empress trusts the empress very much, so she will not blame you after all." Xue Hengzhao explained.<
/p>
"Yes! If it weren't for the idea you gave me earlier, the queen would not have trusted me so much, or she wouldn't have cared about my face so much." Concubine Fu has been with the queen for more than ten years, and she has no doubts about her conduct.
I still know my temper very well.
If it weren't for the rhetoric that Xue Hengzhao taught her before to ward off misfortunes for the queen, the queen would have warned and punished her today no matter what, just to vent her anger.
But today's queen already regards Concubine Fu as one of her own, so she is always merciful.
"That is the result of your profound blessings and good deeds." Xue Hengzhao never takes credit for himself.
"Okay, let's look back! I hope the county master won't make trouble anymore." Concubine Fu closed her eyes tiredly, "You can go down too! I'll be alone."
Outside the palace, Jin Yu'e was taking two servants to serve her in the house where Yao Wanyi rewarded her.
She looked at the furnishings in the room with satisfaction, with an undisguised smile on her lips.
"Aunt Jin, I have already sent out the box of things you mentioned." The woman beside Jin Yu'e said, "You are really filial."
When Jin Yu'e gained power, she naturally remembered her parents and brothers, so she prepared some gold and silver, soft clothing and medicines, put them in a box, and asked her servants to send them to the place where her parents were exiled.
She was tactful and good at trying to win over her, so these two servants were very attentive to her.
"What is filial piety? I am very filial, but now I can only use three points." Jin Yu'e is far from satisfied.
But what can be done? Her parents were punished by the emperor and sent into exile. Unless the emperor takes back their orders, their family will never want to return to Beijing.
Although the house given by Yao Wanyi is not big, it is enough for their family to live in.
Wouldn't it be better if we could return to the capital and live here?
"Auntie, you are a very capable person. If you win the favor of the county lord, you may not be able to bring your master and his wife back to the capital in the future." The mother-in-law flattered her quickly, "Now, there is no one in our family who doesn't look up to you."<
/p>
Jin Yu'e's popularity was so great that she even outshone the main wife.
Zhang Changlong's parents are already discussing with Jin Yu'e to find a way to increase Zhang Changlong's position.
In fact, there is no need for them to tell Jin Yu'e that she also has such a plan, but not now.
She has her own plan, that is, she cannot remain a concubine.
The Zhang family is nice to her because she is useful, but they will not easily straighten themselves out.
"Okay, come here every now and then to take a look. It's enough to take a rest. Ask them to pull the carriage over, and it's time to go back." Jin Yu'e glanced at the house with nostalgia.
Soon after she got on the carriage and walked out from the east side of the street, a group of officers and soldiers came from the west and sealed the place.
