Chapter 162 Three Princesses of One Country
In the Silver Screen Hall, there are really a lot of noble people today. In addition to the deceased concubine of the Dafeng Dynasty, the other three empresses, together with the empress, gathered in the Silver Screen Hall and accompanied the old emperor to accept the reception of the new first-class outstanding students, but what I didn't expect was This was supposed to be a particularly good thing, but it turned out to be like this.
Lou Yunshang knelt on the ground for the second time, but there was no feeling of trembling in her heart. She just told the truth. Didn't the queen notice that one bead was missing in this string of Buddha beads before she handed her wrist? It's impossible. The queen has been devoting himself to practicing Buddhism for more than ten years. This string of Buddha beads is held in her hands every day. Yunshang has found that this string of lapis lazuli Buddha beads has been coiled out, showing a shiny color and excellent texture. It is not to mention that the queen of the mother of a country is playing in her hand and wearing it on her body. Naturally, they are the best and most luxurious objects. Unfortunately, such a string of Buddha beads that are hard to find is missing.
After the concubine who scolded Yunshang, she raised her eyebrows angrily, as if she was very angry with Yunshang's disrespectful behavior towards the queen.
The situation on the jade stage was very tense, and Lu Jin's heart under the jade stage was a little tighter. The child Lou Yunshang is really smart. He is stupid. Sometimes he is really stupid. Today is a day for everyone to be happy, but she said such a disappointing word. No wonder the concubine was reprimanded. However, if Yunshang doesn't tell the truth, he may be bitten back and cheated. The stakes of this and going are really incredible to him. Lu Jin was so cautious and smart that he couldn't figure out what the virtuous queen was doing.
What is the purpose of her doing this?
Yunshang knelt in place, did not dare to move or speak, but there was no unexpected anxiety or uneasiness in her heart. She knelt quietly in place, waiting for the empress to speak.
"Ha ha." The queen, who had been silent and watching the play, suddenly let out a pleasant smile. Yunshang raised her eyes and peeked. The queen stretched out a fine white palm to hold up Yunshang. "A child who dares to tell the truth, Your Majesty, how many people are there in the court now?"
The old emperor narrowed his eyes and twisted his hand and said, "Speaking of a straight man, he is second to none. He is the old Prime Minister Lou Duo. Unfortunately, he is now in his hometown in Yangzhou City. Except for the straight old man Lou Duo, the old man of the Prime Minister, he is Lu Can, the Northern Marquis, and the Northern Marquis is now old, and he gradually has lost the courage of his youth. I'm so angry." The old emperor remembered some things in those years and sighed for a moment. In those years, Lu Can, the Northern Marquis, worked hard and made great achievements. The Lu family has been loyal and good generals for generations. He can be called the example of generals in the world. He is like a fierce fire and hates evil. When he meets corrupt officials in the court, he always looks coldly, so he has great prestige among the Qingliu Party in the dynasty. Unfortunately, after ten thousand years, he rarely participated in the government in the court. The old emperor understood that he was asking for a way out for himself. Especially after the Yin'an Hall, Lou Yunliang's head hit the jade step and committed suicide, his concern was even deeper into the bone marrow.
Now, his two sons, Lu Jin and Lu Shen, are still young and have no right to speak in the court. They even have to wait for other officials who are older than themselves to finish speaking, so that they can talk, hoping that they can tell the truth, or like Beihou Lu Cannian. It is obviously impossible to be as straight as fire when it is light. Therefore, when the old emperor heard the time when he heard the queen ask him who dared to speak frankly, he said almost without thinking, "Now there are few such ministers left."
As soon as his voice fell, the queen smiled and touched a few Buddha beads in her hand before saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry. According to me, among the younger generation of our Dafeng Dynasty, there are still children who dare to speak bluntly. Your Majesty, don't you think there is a living person standing in front of us?"
The old emperor was stunned and then cast his eyes on Yunshang. Yunshang was opening a pair of black and white eyes. He looked at the emperor and the queen who were talking to each other in puzzledly. Seeing her innocent and romantic face, the old emperor suddenly became much more cheerful. He smiled and said kindly to Yunshang, "And Thank you very much, Queen. She is looking for an official for you.
Yunshang grew up in surprise. She was stunned and quickly kowtowed up. "Ah, so it is Yunshang who is stupid. Thank you for your good words for Yunshang."
The queen smiled and helped her up again, but her eyes seemed to look at the concubine who had just scolded Yunshang. In her eyes, Yunshang seemed to have a trace of provocation in her eyes. When she looked up again, Yunshang felt that the queen's eyes were also very meaningful.
"You are a good child who knows black and white and distinguishes right from wrong. This string of Buddha beads in my palace has been following me for some years. Listening to the scriptures silently in my palace every day also has some aura and mana, which is just a perfect match with a pure and good child like you. Well, I plan to give you this string of Buddha beads, how about it?"
Yunshang knelt down for the third time, which was simply a state of being flattered. She looked at the queen and said, "Yunshang has a deep understanding of Yunshang's love for Yunshang, but this string of Buddha beads is extremely precious to the Empress. Yunshang is small and humble, and she dares not accept such a big gift from the Empress anyway."
At this time, the emperor's eyes flashed with a look of praise, "The queen knows people. This baby really knows etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat. It's good, it's good."
"Father, Queen, Zixiang is late." Suddenly, someone whispered at the door of the hall. Obviously, the speaker was the little princess Feng Zixiang. She took a few steps to the hall and bowed to the emperor, the queen and several concubines. The old emperor nodded. Eunuch Wei walked down the jade steps, helped her to the empty seat on the concubine's seat and sat down. Yunshang looked confused. Isn't the seat in this area made for the concubines? This is indeed the position of the fourth concubines of Dafeng. Why does her, an unfavored princess, sit on the upper position? Moreover, Yunshang is currently kneeling, facing the empty seat. In this way, it looks like Yunshang is kneeling down to Feng Zixiang. This makes Yunshang very uncomfortable.
Feng Zixiang seemed to see Yunshang's doubts and explained enthusiastically, "Sister Yunshang, you have lived in Yangzhou for a long time. It is probably not clear that my mother died early, so I have always replaced my mother for the seat of the last four concubines." She smiled gently and gracefully. Naturally, Yunshang was unwilling to do it later, and she also smiled softly. She nodded and smiled as if she were meeting an old friend she hadn't seen for many years.
The queen looked in her eyes and whispered, "It's really happy to see these children love and get along well with each other."
The emperor is also happy. Feng Zixiang looks particularly lively today. She turned around and said in the direction of the emperor and the queen, "Father, empress, Zixiang has a small request. I don't know if my father and empress can agree."
"There are no outsiders here today. Lu Jin and Yunshang are both first-class students in this assessment, and they are classmates and friends with you. If you have anything to say, Zixiang can say it." The emperor is relatively pleasant to this child.
Feng Zixiang lowered her eyelashes as long as a butterfly wing, with an unnatural smile on her face, as if she was a little timid to say the following words. She said, "Zixiang felt that Yunshang's sister's newly lost mother and father was not around, and she was sensitive and eager to learn and had a good character. Such a life inevitably made people feel very pitiful and sad. Therefore, Zixiang begged his father and the empress to accept Yunshang's sister as my adoptive daughter and be my god sister. I don't know if my father and the empress can agree to Zixiang's small request. After saying that, she raised a pair of deer-like eyes and looked at the emperor and the queen expectantly.
The queen was stunned, and then looked at the emperor. After getting the emperor's consent, she smiled and stretched out her hand to pull Yunshang's arm. "I think I'm very close to this child. I feel very happy with Zixiang's proposal. I don't know what your majesty is thinking?"
"The queen is the master of everything in the harem." The emperor nodded with a smile, obviously agreeing with the queen's words and practices.
The queen squeezed her lips and smiled, and her demeanor stood out. "In this way, my concubine should be benevolent. Lou's Yuns Yunshang listened to the order of this palace."
Yunshang bit it and knelt on the ground for the fourth time...
Her legs...
"The Lou family's Yunshang, with excellent conduct, good shape, modesty and courtesy, can serve as an example for the same age. Lou's family, full of loyalty, exceptionally recorded as a princess, enjoying four grades of salary preferential treatment, special title..." When the queen said here, she thought about it and stroked her hand with love, just like a pair of The mother's appearance continued to say these words of reward.
"It is specially given the title of... 'Wuyou Princess'." After saying that, she nodded with satisfaction and looked back at the emperor. The old emperor said, "This child has been in trouble since he was a child. The queen's title is very decent."
At this point, Yunshang really can't do anything else except verbal thanks.
As soon as he kowtowed and thanked, Eunuch Wei over there immediately said loudly, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Today is really a great day of double happiness. It must be a good omen from the sky.
These horses were shot just right. The old emperor twisted his hand and smiled. He followed the other waiters to meet the new princess. From today on, Dafeng Dynasty not only the eldest princess Feng Zitong, the little princess Feng Zixiang, but also a worry-free princess, Lou Yunshang!
Yunshang hurriedly put everyone flat. She turned her back to the seat, and naturally did not see the cold light flashing quickly in Feng Zixiang's eyes. What came into her eyes were Lu Jin's stunned eyes kneeling in the crowd...
