Chapter 3 Femme Beauty
The layout of Lingbo Palace is very different from Feng Wuhen's Fenghua Palace. In order to set off the noble status of the owner, all the decorations meet the royal requirements and are elegant and extraordinary. Each table, chair, several stools are decorated with ingenious decorations. The furnace and cauldron in the room are extremely precious spices. All the palace maids do their own things in an orderly manner, but when Feng Wuhen passes by, they look very orderly. The only people following Feng Wuhen are Hong Ru and Green Elf, which is what Rouping specifically ordered. Otherwise, with their identities, they would not be enough to step into the gate of Lingbo Palace.
In this environment, Feng Wuhen felt extremely guilty. No matter what, he was a fake. He had never seen a big scene. Although he had the memory of the real seventh prince, when he thought of seeing the empress whom he would only come into contact with in opera, he felt a cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Empress, I'm here to pay my respects to you." Rouping reported through the pearl curtain.
"Let him come in." A pleasant voice came from behind the curtain.
Feng Wuhen, who followed Rouping into Yu Guifei's bedroom, finally saw the woman he had admired for a long time. She turned her back to everyone, wearing gorgeous palace clothes, and a colorful golden phoenix was shining on her dark hair. Her left hand was leaning on the table like a lotus root, revealing a delicately crafted golden bracelet. Just from the back, it was enough to make people imagine infinite reverie. Feng Wuhen only saw these. Under Rouping's guidance, he knelt down to his mother in accordance with etiquette and greeted her: "My son is paying homage to his mother."
"Get up, you are in poor health, so there is no need to be too polite." The woman in the head replied faintly.
Rouping quickly brought a brocade stool. Feng Wuhen, who stood up, saw the breath-taking beauty that could not be described in any language. He couldn't help but be stunned, staring at his mother's face blankly, and he didn't even feel the red pull behind him. Rouping saw that the highness seemed to have seen his master for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel strange. He gave several winks, but Feng Wuhen never responded. Although he was his son, Concubine Yu felt a little angry and couldn't help but cough.
Feng Wuhen then came to his senses, his face flushed awkwardly, but he wanted to explain something: "I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I feel that you have been a little clearer recently, but I still have the beauty of the past. So I watched it for a while and asked me to forgive me for being rude." Although these flattering words were thought out in desperation, no woman would want others to praise her beauty. Concubine Yu couldn't help but smile, and this smile made the whole woman lose her beauty. Fortunately, Feng Wuhen tried his best to calm down this time and did not make any jokes.
Concubine Yu looked at the son, and although she smiled on her face, she could not have any warmth in her heart. The son who was pregnant for ten months and had worked hard to give birth was ruthlessly determined by the imperial physician that he was born weak in nature and was difficult to support. Even if he could barely become an adult, he would not be likely to have descendants. This sentence undoubtedly ruined all her hopes. During those painful days, although the emperor did not blame her, the concubines' cold words and the queen's ridicule, and even the humble eunuchs and palace maids dared to gossip behind their backs. She had no idea how she spent those days. She had been asked for medical treatment again and again, but she fell into despair again and again, and was loved by her thousands of people.
How could she not understand that if there was no son to rely on, then when she was old and deteriorating, everyone would probably put a spoil. Finally, God pity her and gave her another child, which was a smart and healthy son without any flaws. Even the ministers said that the future of the child is precious. In this case, the child who should not have come to the world and allowed her to be insulted will have no need for existence. Now the reason why she tolerate this son to live is to allow herself and another son to get more care from the emperor. Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"It's hard for you to get your mother's place, so just go around." Concubine Yu smiled at Feng Wuhen, "Rouping, you can take Your Highness Seven to stroll around. It's rare that he looks pretty good today."
Although Feng Wuhen was a little unhappy, how could he dare to disobey the mother's words and follow the two palace maids obediently to the palace behind the palace. Concubine Yu then turned to the two palace maids kneeling in front of her. She knew that they were the most capable people in front of her son, capable and well-behaved. If they could conquer them, then they would be much more convenient in the future. What she needed was a puppet son. As long as she could help the eleventh prince ascend to the supreme imperial throne, she would do whatever it takes.
"If I remember correctly, you two should be Hongru and Luyin." Concubine Yu said lightly.
"When I say to the Empress, I am Hongru."
"If you go back to the queen, I will be Green Eye."
The two on the ground lowered their heads a little. They knew very well that the noble lady in front of them could do nothing after just one finger. Even Hong Ru, who hated Concubine Yu, dared not do anything beyond the rules.
"You both know that the Seventh Prince has always been weak, so why do you still use foxes to charm the Lord?" Concubine Yu intentionally raised her voice, "With your status, how can you match the noble prince? Do you know your guilt?"
No matter how brave Hongru was, she couldn't help but be scared to the point of being disgusted. As the personal palace maid serving the prince, what she feared the most was undoubtedly the crime of bewitching the master, which was enough to make her die without a place to die. After repeatedly bowing, Hongru said with tears in her eyes: "The Empress is a clear understanding. The Seventh Prince has always been rude to her servants and other servants on weekdays. There is absolutely no such thing as fox Princess. I have always known my identity and never dared to transcend the rules. Besides, the Seventh Prince is of great status. I only dare to serve with my heart and have no other thoughts."
Lu Yin was even more frightened and kept kowtowing. She was not as good as Hongru, but just kept saying: "Goddess, please spare me!" She couldn't say anything else.
Concubine Yu was very satisfied with Hong Ru's cleverness. She needed such talents. At that time, she would definitely be able to bow to her. As for that Green Green, she was too stupid and had no spiritual energy at all. Only that son would put such a woman by her side. However, the most important thing now is to give them a warning and let them know who is the real master. "I am sorry that you dare not seduce Wuhen, but the rumors in the palace must not be groundless. If you don't teach you some lessons, others will think that I have indulged my son's slaves." Concubine Yu said with a cold face, "As for Wuhen, I will discipline them well so that I will not be laughed at by others when I walk in the palace."
With a light wave, four middle-aged eunuchs with stern faces hurriedly walked up and dragged Hongru and Luyin into the side room. "Each person is responsible for twenty. I want them to know what the rules are!"
Hongru knew that she might not be able to escape this disaster today, but she could not let her master stay by this woman's side, nor could she be punished by any punishment. Although Lu Yin begged for mercy, the heartless Concubine Yu did not care so much, and she didn't even look at her. Hongru gritted her teeth, and didn't know where she got her strength. She suddenly broke free from the two eunuchs, rushed to the feet of Concubine Yu, and repeatedly said, "Empress, it's all the faults of my servants, and it has nothing to do with the Seventh Prince. It doesn't matter if I am blamed, please don't blame the Seventh Prince. I will take care of Your Highness with all my heart and responsibilities in the future, and there will be no more mistakes!" After Hongru said a few more times, a little blood oozed from her forehead. At this moment, the dull sound of boards and the screams of Green Yin came from the next room.
Concubine Yu looked at the stubborn girl in front of her in surprise. At that moment, her heart almost softened. However, as a concubine, her reservedness finally gained the upper hand. After pondering for a moment, she slowly spoke: "You girl is a little conscience, but since you want to save the Seventh Prince from punishment, then you will bear his share. Are you willing?"
"I am willing to receive the punishment," Hongru finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I just want the Empress to allow me to continue serving Your Highness."
